complaint charges that while Mr..
Noyes was director of the First
National bank of Fairbanks, the
latter, with his consent, made a
loan in excess of the amount per
mitted by law to the Bank of Cleary,
which. it is charged, was also oper-
ated by the officers of the local
National bank. The loss to the
bank from this illegal loan. it is
asserted, was s5,62793.
The other three causes Of action
are to recover sums to make good
the losses from illegal loans, as
follows: the loss of s7,16S22, re-
sulting from taking over note
signed by c. L. Carson in favor of
the Bank of Cleary; the loss of
$500 resulting from an illegal loan
to John w Corson; and the loss
Of $500 resulting from an illegal
loan to Theodore Witte.
The officers and directors of the
First National bank of Fairbanks
during the times the alleged illegal
loans We're made were Samuel A.
Bonnifield, President; John E. Bon
nifield, vice-president, c. J. Hurley.
cashier F. G. Manley, F. G. Noyes
and William Brelle. Any of the
foregoing, it is asserted, can be held
responsible for the loss by excessive
loans, but the complaint only names
F. G. Noyes as defendant.

Ben Rowland I axes
Poison and Dies

Ben Rowland, a young man of this
city, who had been out of employ
ment for some time, committed suit
eide about o'clock Thursday morn
ing at a cabin on Second avenue,
near St. Matthew'S hospital, by TAX
ing hydrocyanic acid. The verdict
of the coroner's jury, Thursday eve
ming, was to the effect that the young
man came to his death by taking
the poison with suicidal intent while
temporarily respondent.
The evidence brought out at the
inquest showed that the young man
had been paying attention to Miss
Barbara O'Connor, one of the nurses
at the hospital, and that while in
a seriously respondent mood he call
ed on her the night he killed him
self, arriving at the cabin about
8 o'clock.
Miss O'Connor testified that How
land had frequently asked her to
marry him, and she had repeatedly
refused. He called Wednesday eve
ming, and after being there some
time, again asked her for her hand,
which she refused to grant him.
After her refusal. she said, How
land took from stand revolver
and threatened to kill her. but she
knocked it to the floor and induced
him to lie down on a couch for a
time to quiet his nerves. During the
hours he lay there he failed to sleep.
she said, and she was afraid all the
time he would repeat his attempt to
kill her. Finally he arose and drank
the poison. She rushed to the hos
pital for aid, which came too late
to save him.
Other testimony produced at the
inquest corroborated with that given
by Miss O'Connor. The other wit
nesses were: Miss Lillian Winter.

FIRST NATIONAL WANTS FORM
Err DIRECTOR TO MAKE
GOOD BAD LOANS

F. G. Moves is the defendant in
suit filed last Monday by the
First National bank for total OF
$5l,41S42 which it is claimed was
illegally loaned by the latter insti-
tuition when Noyes was a director
with his consent, the money having
never been collected.
The complaint involves five causes
OF action, the first being for the
recovery from Mr., Noyes of s25,'
1927, lost to the bank as a. result
of a loan to the S. A. Bonnifield
bank on Dome creek The Bonnifield
bank, 1t is claimed, was being oper-
ated by the men who were at that
time officers of the First National
bank of Fairbanks, in a manner to
evade the banking laws
AS the law places a limit on the
amount that a bank can loan to any
single individual or organization
the First National bank of Fair
banks at that time could not legally
loan to the bank mentioned an
amount in excess of s11.500, while
the total amount owed to the lat
ter by the Bonnifield bank on Au-
gust IS, 1908, was $53,240S4 Thus
according to the Interpretation of
the law, the officers of the bank
were responsible for the losses re-

French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The French
have for generations used simple
mixture of vegetable oils that relieve
all stomach and intestinal ailments
and keep the bowels free from foul,
poisonous matter. The stomach is left
to perform its functions normally.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, leading drug
gist, of Chicago, cured himself with
this remedy in a short time. The de-
mand is so great that he imports
these oils from France and COM
pounds them under the name of
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy.
People everywhere write and testify
to the marvellous relief they have re-
ceived using this remedy one dose
will rid the body of poisonous accre-
tions that have accumulated for
years and convince the most chronic
sufferer from stomach, liver or in
festival troubles. Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy is now sold here by
Bell & Robinson, and druggists ev-
erywhere.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

The New York Times has recently
concluded a nationwide inquiry into
business conditions. The responses
are published in two solid pages of
the Times under the general heading
Business Men See Good Times
Ahead"
The editorial in which the Times
reviews its symposium will give a
sufficiently comprehensive idea of the
general tone of comment.
"The reports on the business situa-
ton all over the country which are
printed in the Times this morning
carry an unmistakable message of
good cheer. The statements of the
bankers, manufacturers, and mer-
chants are not academic or theoreti-
cal. The truth is not evaded or
CLOSED over. There has been depres-
sion in many branches of trade. But
in these statements of the views and
experiences of the business men of all
sections there is evidence of an Obvi-
Gus and justifiable feeling of con-
fidence in the future. The idea that
we have reached the turning point is
not founded on personal optimism,
and is shared by nearly all, even by
thise who have felt most strongly
the recent trade depression. OF
course, the abundant crops have
much to do with this hopeful outlook
but not all. Trade is already better
in branches which have suffered
least, and is picking up in others. The
condition of the steel trade, in which
the signs are now encouraging, is as
suredly a better index of economic
conditions than that of the motor
car trade, which is veritably BOOM
ing. The facts set forth in these
we'll filled columns are indisputable.
The opinions are sound and unpre-
JUDGED. The results do not justify
over enthusiasm. There are. difficult
ties yet to be encountered. General
prosperity has not yet set in, but
there is no doubt that the worst has
been passed and the good times are
coming"

ASSASSINATION DOES NOT PAY.

Huerta is down and out. The
policy of watchful waiting has won
it's first great triumph
Beneath that policy there was a
principle, bedded deep in common
sense. The president has proceeded
ON the theory that certain kinds OF
wickedness only thrive in this world
10 long as they pay. Take the profit
ont of them and they languish and
are replaced by forms of action more
dec eut and more just.
Assassination has never flourish
sd in our politics, because it has new
er paid. Assassins are shot in this
enuutry while resisting capture, or
legally executed afterwards. But the
history of South America is peppered
with instances of men who have as
sassinated their way to 'irremovable
Yresidencies' that were thrones in
,xss but the name, and lived happy
ard honored afterwards.
Woodrow Wilson started in, in the
ease of Mr.. Huerta, to give demon
stration of the fact that, in the at
fairs of North American nations, as
assination has become Improbable.
The ambitious man who thirsts for

erEment unhelped by the greatest
power of the Western World.
We have not fought Mr.. Huerta's
government; the Vera Cruz affair did
not amount to war. We have simply
left Huerta to get out as best he
could by himself. He is now depart
ing from the scene of his late activ-
tiles, not because the affairs of ma
nions have become so linked together,
enc principle of interdependence has
become so real in modern society,
that no Mexican government founded
IN violence and blood can succeed
without the friendly cooperation of
ahe United States.
Another president will arise in
Mexico. That government may con-
Ainuc to be as far from representa-
sive democracy, as Americans rear
ed in the traditions of Washington
and Jefferson understand it, as it was
REder Diaz. But government by as
sesslnation has received the severest |
blow in its history. Henceforth the
ambitious Latin American statesman
will take some other way.
1t has been worth what it has cost.

When you hear the republican and
progressive orators attack the demo-
cratic tariff law on the stump this
year, just remember that the plat
forms of both these organizations
also promised tariff reform. No more
effective way in which to halt the
flow of eloquence on the part of any
of these gentlemen can be found
than to ask them to specify just
what reductions they would say
should have been made. The demo-
cratic law was a serious, well-bal-
anced effort to accomplish an end
that nine out of ten voters have
favored for years. 1t really reduced
the tariff and that is what is bother
