Asa Result Of the Failure D
Josiah 5Thompson's Bank
at UniontoWn.

SUNuONTONTS, Pa, Mar. 21.-The
fortunes OF fifteen millionaires involv-
ed in the financial wreck caused by
the closing OF the First National Bank
are IN serious danger, as the result
.cf court ruling. AS a climax to the
sensational exposure of the banks aft
fairs and those of Josiah v. ThomD-
son, its president, with its train OF
other failures Of millionaires inter-
ested with him in big coal and oil
land Investments, the decision OF the
supreme court that holders of mort
cages may foreclose them struck a
deep and hard blow at the local finan-
aciers. The only measure Of relief in
sight is the bill introduced in the leg

below their real value.
ENer since the First National Bank
Of Uniontown closed its doors on
January Us, dark clouds have hung
over the situation here. First came
a the accusation by the comptroller of
the currency that the bank. was con-
+spdcnously one man bank and that
had loaned to Thompson s1.347 900

posts OF the bank, and that the Wash

the bank to reduce this amount until
when the bank failed, sThompson's
loans on his direct paper and en-
dorsements were only $100 900.
Then came the charges that Thomp-
son was the victim Of secret enemies

were trying to wreck his plans SO that
they might gain control OF valuable
holdings and options on coal and oil
lands. Thompsonts friends maintain
ed that there was underneath work.

AUGUSTINE De YTURBIDE
WEEDS MISS N. L. KEARNEY
Ceremony Performed This Morning
at a Private Service at st.
Matthew'S Church.

Augustine de Yturbide. adopted heir
of the Mexican Emperor Macmillan,
was married this morning at a private
service to Miss Mary Louise Kearney,
daughter of the late Brig. Gen. James
Kearney. by Rev. J. NJ. Cooper. at St.
Matthew'S Church.
Mr. de Yturbide was formerly very
prominent in Washington society. but
of recent years has devoted his time to
study, and the fact that he has been
pursuing a course in theology and re-
siding at the Franciscan monastery,
Brookland, has led his friends to be-
Iieye that he intended to enter some
religious order and lead life of cell
bacy.
The marriage license gave the
groom's age as fifty-two and that of
the bride rs twenty-nine. The fact of
the marriage was confirmed by his
aunt. Mrs. l.. X. Norton of Chevy Chase,
who said his relatives and friends are
all pleased at the event.
The bride is cousin of Mrs. Kate
Kearney Henry of 2021 ! street, who is
spending the summer at Warrenton,
Va Their fathers were brothers, one
in the army and the other In the navy.
The groom is the grandson Of the late
Emperor Yturbide of Mexico.

PORTO RICAN's RIGHTS.
Eligibility as Army Officer Is Being
Questioned.

The question as to whether Luis
Raoul Esteves, the Porto Rican gradu-
ate in this years class from West
Point. is eligible for a commission in
the army has been raised. Under a
decision of the court Porto Ricans are
not citizens of the United States, and
for that reason it was suggested that
Cadet Esteves might not qualify as
an officer Of the army.
While the question has not been
passed upon by the legal authorities,
the opinion of those who have been
looking up the presidents is that the
fact that the cadet is not a citizen Of
the United States will not disqualify
him from holding a commission. Be-
ginning with the revolutionary war
down through the civil war, foreigners
have held commissions in the United
States Army. Without regard to his
citizenship the Porto Rican now has
the legal status Of cadet. He is on
different status from the Filipinos,
who under a special act Of Congress
are permitted to take the course at
the Military Academy Esteves enter
ed the academy and was educated un-
der the same provision of law as all
other cadets and 1T is thought that it
will be held that he is eligible for
commission in the army.
