II the depositors of the American
National Bank approve the plan now
being formulated by a committee OF
business men. of which Morris Bear Is
the head. il is reasonably certain that
the bank viii be re-opcned i'm the near
future
This plan Contempiates an agree
ment on the part Of the depOsitors TO
accept time certificates for the amount
of their deposits in the bank, such Ger
tificates to be payable onc-fourth In
three months, one fourth in six months
one fourth in nine months, and one
fourtf. IN twelve months
Under this plan, the bank will he
enabled to reopen as soon as the
agreements are signed by the de-
positors and the comptroller OF the
gives his approval and au-
thority sor the institution to again
resume business.
Should the depositors not approvS
the proposed plan for resumption OF
business. the affairs OF the bank wiz
have to be uquidated How long THAI
will require before depOsttOrB would
secure all of their money is
of course problematicaL
There is a very general sentiment
among all Of the depositors so far
heard from that the bank should be-
re-opened, and all who have expressed,
themselves are favorable to the plan
proposed. The public feels that tho
bank is entirely solvent and that it
was the victim simply Of un8oundsd
rumors which should never have be8n
circulated, but which in fact are alone
for the closing OF the In
stitution.
As soon as the agreement forms can
be printed they will be presented to
the depositors for signature and the
committee will IN the meantime con-
tinue its work on the details OF the
plan itself.

DEMANDS HE RETURN MEDALS
Platt Adams Charged With Profession
alism by a Newspaper
By Associated Press.

New York, Dec 30.-The New York
" Evening Mail' publishes to-day two
atfidavits which charge that Platt Ad-
ans, champion amateur athlete and all
round jumper, has pledged and received
money for some of his prizes won at
amateur meets. Under the rules of the
Amateur Athletic Union this, if true,
would change Adams status to that of
u professional.
The charge against Adams would
make his case somewhat similar to that,
of James Thorpe, who, after he had
been proved to be professional, was
forced TO return his olympic prizes. In
its story the Evening MALI calls
upon Adams to produce all medals and
trophies he has won since his connec-
tion with the New York Athletic Club.
At the headquarters of the Amateur
Athletic Union it was said that moth
ing was known as to the charges, ex-
cept what was printed to-day.
In 1912 Adams and his brother,
Ben, were members of the American
team which was sent to Sweden to COM
pete in the Olympic games. Last year s
records show that Adams holds the rec
ord for the standing high jump of
feet 4H inches

The plan favored by Mayor John X.

lice force the chief and others who
shall serve as captain, lieutenant and

late WAR news SUMMARY

The British Foreign ONCE has under
consideration to-day the communication
from Washington demonstrating at the
forcible searching and detention of
American ships suspected of carrying
contraband of war. With the return to
London of Foreign Secretary Grey the
British authorities began the framing
of reply, concerning the character of
which no intimation was given. The
belief was expressed generally that a
way would be found to meet the situ-
alton without serious friction.
German victories in the east were
announced by the Berlin War Office
whose statement was in direct contrast
with recent dispatches from Petrograd.
It is asserted that Russian cavalry
which invaded East Prussia has been
driven back to point four miles from
the border In Poland, according to the
Berlin statement, the German advance
continues and it is said that Skiernie-
vice and Lowics were captured nearly
week ago.
Referring to the situation in the
west the German war office confirms the
French statement of yesterday that the
allies had captured the Belgian town
of st. Georges.
The French official communication
asserts that further progress has been
