Private Bank Crashes

Another private bank has closed its doors in
Chicago and hundreds of Russian and Polish
women are mourning the loss of deposits ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. A few weeks ago, the
owner of private bank absconded from Chicago
leaving hundreds of aliens to wonder if America
offers no protection for their thrift and economy.
The crooked work connected with private
banks in Chicago is disgrace to that city and to
Illinois. Bankers of Chicago deplore the situa-
tion saying that discredit is thrown upon the
banking business by the loose laws of Illinois
which permit the operation of private banks
without close supervision by the authorities. The
time is here when the Illinois legislature must
pass law to protect the savings of it's citizens.
The alien problem is big one in this country.
1t is engaging the best thought of social work.

canization of these men and women until they
assured that the country really protects their
interests. From the time an alien lands on this

close together, and he stared levelly
from beneath them at the detectives
exultant face.
THAT young man with the fractured
skull in the corner room upstairs-the
one you brought Doctor Alwyn to at
tend last night-when you know who
he is you're going up in the air!
don't know who brought him here, or
what fiim-flam line of talk they gave
you, but it's wonder you haven't
guessed from the start who he was,
with the papers full of it for days! OF
course they must have given you lot
OF money to get him well, and hush it
all up. when you were able to pay the
Doctor. here, five thousand dollars,
but whatever they paid, it's drop in
the bucket compared to the reward
they expected to get. Mac, it's Ramon

would be astounding news. ard GUMS
lily and cautiously the other tried to
play up to his lead
Ramon Hamilton!" he echoed.
You're crazy, Blaine! You don't
know what you're talking about"
YOU'D better believe do! See this
photograph" He held the tiny thumb
nail picture before Mac Alarney's
amazed eyes "The Doctor took it last
night. ct the bedside of the young man
upstairs. when you thought he was
feeling his pulse. That watch of his
was in reality camera"
With roar, the burly man turned
upon the erect, unshrinking figure of
the gray-haired doctor, but Blaine
halted him.
Not so fast, Mac. If it hadn't been
for him, you'd be in the hands of the
police now, remember, and they've
only been waiting to get something on
you, as you know. You can't blame
Doctor Alwyn for being suspicious, af-
ter all the mysterious fuss you made
bringing him here. I know Ramon
Hamilton we'll, and l recognized his
face the instant it was handed to me!
Pm on the case, myself-Miss Law

tried to take him away from you, so
as to cop all the reward myself, but
as it is, we'll split fifty-ffty-unless
the police get here while we're vast
ing time talking! Man, don't you see
how you've been done?"
you can bet your life do-that is,
if the young man I've got upstairs is
the guy you think he is" he added, in
an afterthought of cautious self-pro-
lection. The acid of the hint that Pad
dington had betrayed him to the po-
lice had burned deep, however, as
Blaine had anticipated, and he walked
blindly into the snare laid for him.
"I'll tell you all about how he come to
be here, later, and I'll fix them that
tried to pull the wool over my eyes!
Now, for the love of Heaven, Mr..
Blaine, tell me what to do with him
before the bulls come! Thank God,

The Death Penalty

Confidence in capital punishment has re-
ceived severe jolt in New York recently A few
days ago, Governor Whitman granted stay of
execution to Thomas Bambrick, convicted of
Staying policeman. The Stielow case, in which
the convicted man was saved from the death
chair by the confession of the murderer shortly
before the death hour, is still fresh in the minds
of the public.
The people of New York must be wondering
what kind of court procedure is in vogue in their
state. If two men, innocent of crime, escape
death by only few hours, it seems to indicate
that the police authorities and the prosecutors Of
that state have tendencies that ought be curbed
at once. Human life is too precious. to be jeop-
ardized by over-zealous desire to convict.

shore until he has mastered our customs and
language he is at the mercy Of sharks and crooks,
who overcharge him, sell him into industrial
bondage, steal his savings, teach him corruption
at the polls, and create in him such a feeling of
distrust for our institutions that he never can
feel at home in this country.
If the strong arm Of the law would swoop
down on some Of the crooks that own private
banks for the exploitation of ignorant foreign
ers, the country would be benefited immensely.
What is the use of an alien saving his money and
depositing it in banks, if dishonest men who are
despised and loathed by legitimate bankers can
steal it at will?
