3 MORE CHICAGO BANKS FAIL
Private Institutions Operated by w. n.
Paisley & Son Close-Had
100000 Deposits.

Chicago. Sept. 21.-Three private
banks operated by w. III. Paisley &
Sons closed their doors. The institu-
lions were known as the North Shore
Savings bank. the Summerdale Saw
ings bank and the Broadway and
Grace street bank.
Crowds began collecting in front of
all three institutions as soon as the
news spread and police were dis
patched to prevent rioting. All the
concerns are reported to have been
patronized heavily.
A report was spread that the banks
were solvent and that depositors
would get their money, but it failed
to allay the panicky feeling among
the crowds of depositors.

City-Wide Walkout.
SHoNTS WON'T SEE WORKERS
Tells Mayor Mitchell to Discontinue
Trying to Arrange Truce as Ell
forts Will Be FutiIe-Passen-
gers Injured During Riotine.

New YORK, Sept. 21.-Wild rioting
by strikers along routes where sur
face cars were being operated kept
the police in constant battles with
strikers and their sympathizers. Sew
eral cars were completely wrecked. A
score or more of rioters were arrested.
Others were sent to hospitals or
sought refuge in their homes, where
broken heads caused by police night
sticks We're mended. Police Captain
Dempsey was seriously injured and
was sent to a hospital.
New York. Sept. 21.-Theodore p.
Shonts, president of the PETERBOROUGH
Rapid Transit company and the New
York Railways company, told Mayor
Mitchell that it was futile for him to
continue his efforts to arrange a
truce between the traction companies
and the striking car men, because
there was no basis for an adjustment
of the difficulties.
No Strike, Shonts Says.
Mr.. Shonts reiterated that the
strike on the lines of his companies
was thing of the past. Subway
and elevated trains, he said, were
carrying more passengers than before
the union had attempted to interfere
with the service and additional cars
were being sent out daily on the sur
face lines.
Thousands of loyal employees, he
asserted had threatened to go on
strike if he resumed negotiations with
the mems union.
Il have nothing TO arbitrate," said
Mr.. Shonts.
The citizens committee, which is
meeting with Mayor Mitchell and
Chairman Straus of the public serv-
ice commission in an effort to prevent
the threatened walkOut of other union
men, will hold another conference but
it is doubtful if another appeal viii
be made to Shonts.
Strike Up to Gompers.
1t is now up to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, to decide whether a general
strike will be called. He conferred
with strike leaders during the day.
Attacks upon surface cars were
made by strikers and in some in
stances passengers were injured. Po-
lice Commissioner Woods and District
Attorney Swami announced that con-
certed measures for the swift and
stern punishment for all who stoned
cars would be taken. Strikers who
were arrested for stoning cars were
fined from $5sto $40.
Fifteen automobiles, each carrying
a lieutenant and four men in plain
clothes, were added to the number
swiftly patrOlling the surface car
lines.
Fifty strikers, who attempted to
drag motOrman from a cross-town
car, were dispersed by a policeman.

Henderson Lumber company Of Tuscaloosa, which desires the right to condempn property for the construction of a railroad. A meeting of the commits sion, attended by Sam P.

MAMMOTH MONUMENT ON
 STONE MOUNTAIN PLANNED
Atlanta nauguated Movement to Carve Enormous on Mountain of Granite as Everlasting Memorial to
 Heroes of the South of Civil War Days

Atlanta's scheme of publicity for Atlanta is broadening. So much is it broadening that the people of that city propose to have cut out of mountain of solid gran ite IS miles from the city a monument to the heroes of Civil war times. Stone mountain which is composed entirely of granite, and which has proved invincibie against dynamite and other high explo- sives, has been selected by the mov- ing spirits of the monument association in Atlanta as the best possible location for the proposed memorial to the south of days gone by.
 It is said that Gutzon Borglum, a New York sculptor, has already been engaged to hew from the granite the proposed me- morial and that the plans are to have 8 frieze 2OO0 feet long and 50 feet wide. In this, it is stated, the heroes of the south of 55 years ago will be carved on a huge scale, the figures being as high as 35 feet.
 Stone mountain is 700 feet high and the scale of the figures will be based on the height of the mountain. These images will exceed the size of the Lion of Lucerne by five times. Incidentally, the Lion at Lucerne was the first instance of a sculptor taking a mountain side on which to practice his art. The second instance of such was the lion at Belfort.
 The credit for the idea of the proposed monument to the southern heroes is given to Mrs. c. Helen Plane, who is president of the monument association, and hon. orary president of the Daughters of the Confectionery, and William H. Terrill, a
