DEAD BANK CASHIER
 WAS CLEVER FORGER
CurtiSS Of the Southin6ton Na-
 tional Bank Stole $87,5OO

Southington, Jan. 1O.-Suspicion that all was not right with the ac- counts of Cashier Louis K. Curtiss of the Southington National bank, who committed suicide late Wednesday af- ternoon when the federal bank exam iners were were at work cn his books, became a certainty late Saturday eve ming when the directors after long session issued statement showing that the dead cashier had diverted 10 his own use $97,5O0 of the banks funds
 Curtiss' method of defra uding the bank was executed through an elab- crate system of forgeries. which Fed eral Examiner Brennan declared were the cleverest he had even seen. It is believed the dead man lost heavily through bad investments especially in western securities and that he "borrowed with the hope of recouping his losses. Indica tons are that his peculations covered a period of ten years and that he was able to cover up through obtaining advance knowl- edge of the dates upon which the federal examiners would make their visits to the institution.
 
 face most of the loss and the directors who are Southington's captains of in dustry, are determined to stand back of the institution. The amount of Curtis bond has not been announced. but it is probably not over $1O,OOO. It is believed his estate will inventory but small.
 $2O,OOO Bond Given.
 The bond given by Louis K. Curtiss. late cashier of the Southington Na- tional Bank, was for $2O,OOO, issued in 1911 by the Massachusetts Bond Ing company. Prior to that year several we'll known citizens went on Curtiss' bond in their individual ca. pacity. Since the change was made several of those bondsmen have died.
 Business at the bank was normal today.
 Mrs. Curtiss who had been visiting her daughter in New Britain returned home today.

RED MEN ARE ANGRY
 AT CLERGYMAN ACT
(Continued From First Page.)
after the departure of the Rev. Ohman.
 Consider Affair Insulting

after the departure of the Rev.
 Consider Affair Insulting.
 "The Improved Order of Red Men is patriotic American order, the old est in existence today. It teaches patriotism and brotherly love and the care of the sick and needy, and how 1t could incur the antipathy of any religious denomination or clergyman Is hard to see"
 MT. Barrows also declared that at the time of the funeral pr. Ohman was late in arriving at the Abraham son home, and sought out the lodge sachem and said, Either you cut out your service or I cut out mine." MT. Barrows states that Acting Chaplain Dudley T. Holmes spoke to the clergyman, but to no avail. The ser vice at the chapel was also unusually short, the past sachem says. MT. Barrows states that the members of the Red Men are provoked at Dr. Ohman's action inasmuch as MT. Abrahamson, who had been a member of the order but two or three years and in that time had risen to their highest office, was so well liked and so popular with the members. They wished, at his funeral service, to demonstrate their love according to their fraternal rites.
 Against Rule of Church.
 Rev. Dr. Ohman when interviewed on the above matter admitted that he had objected to the lodge service, but only on religious grounds. Society services at funerals are against the rules of my church, we never allow them" the preacher said. He then explained at length his position. He declares that his church takes the stand that funeral service is a sacred and religious act. A society is not a religious order and it is, therefore, the duty of the church, which is en- tirely religious, to perform funeral services. As the church is religious and the society is not, it is impossible under the rules of the church, to mix 1 the two. The clergy takes the stand that the family must have either the | service and no other, or the 1 society service alone, without the re- 1 ligious service.
 Not Opposed to Societies.
 But understand me-" Dr. Ohman | there is not the slightest 1 i'll feeling by me or my church against l societies We do not adopt any antasonistic attitude towards them. It is merely, in cases of this sort, a religious belief"

1 as individuals but that as far as he 1 knew there was nothing tangible | which could shape the course Of the l meeting tonight. He said several had l been mentioned as possible successors l to MT. Curtin but he was not aware 1 that a majority of the directors had
 made any final <nd binding selection. 1 No caucus has been held, it is said. E. F. Linke Mentioned. Directors who were approached on the subject this afternoon expressed the opinion that Edward E. Linke, proprietor of the Union Tea company, may be selected to succeed Mr. Curtin if those opposed to the latter are suc- cessful in controlling the meeting and voting against his reelection. MT. Linke had nothing to say regarding this phase of the situation when a re- porter asked him for a statement. Another name that is being given seri- ous consideration is that of Dugald McMillan, proprietor of The McMillan Store and one of New Britain's best known merchants.
 1t is possible that there may be a change in the directorate. This will be the natural result if MT. Curtins opponents are successful in blocking his reelection to the board.
 The Directors.
 The directors of the company are as follows: Charles G. Anderson, John A. Andrews, Fred Beloin, Dr. Henry T. Bray, George A. Caldwell, Antoni CiesZynski, James M. Curtin, Emanuel DiNonno, Ernst T. Fromen, Judge B. F. Gaffney Joseph M. Holloran, M. Irving Jester, Isaac Kanrich, Charles Dugald McMillan, Rev. s. G. Ohman, Ph.D., William B. Rossberg, John Henry P. Smith
 Not A Serious Matter. :.
 While the disagreement among the directors of the company may be mag nified in the eyes of the public, it does not deserve this view. The Trust company is a young institution and before it becomes fully satisfied with itself there must be numerous changes. There is said to be no bit terness behind the attempt to oust MT. Curtin but simply business con- clusion that a change in the presl- dency is advisable. Numbered among the board of directors are some who are satisfied with President Curtin's stewardship but these are said to be in the minority.
 Regret was expressed today by men connected with the concern that the matter had found it's way to the knowledge of the press as he believed the situation would have cleared.

TELLS OF CHURCH WORK.
Rev. John Henry of New York Ad-
 dresses Local MethodiStS

Rev. John Henry, pastor of the only Methodist church on New York's East Si6e, spoke at the morning service of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church yesterday. Hic parish is located in a, district which contains half million foreigners. Much work has been ac- complished by the missions of his church in the saving of souls, especial ly among the Chinese. A large num- her of Chinese girls who had been sold into slavery, were rescued by the mis- sions for the latter followed up the cases and forced the slave owners to free them under pain of federal i'm prisonment The traffic is carried on ss in this country prior to the Civil war and in many instances prices as high as $5,000 were paid for the slaves. Much work is also being done among the Russians and three of that race have signified their intentions of joining the ministry.
 The cost of maintaining the church in New York is SIP, 900 a year and it is entirely dependent on the generosity of the Methodist churches throughout the country. A special collection for the mission was taken up at the con- clusion of the services
