Cordova, March 31-(Special)- )-Arthur Hudgins. a miner of Benoit, near here, was shot, perhaps fatally, here about , o'clock this afternoon in an altercation with his father-in-law, an Italian. Mrs. Ida Hudgins, wife of the wounded man, stated that Nickols had come from the mill about o'clock and the trouble with Hudgins immediately started. She said Hudgins procured shotgun from the rack in the house and the scene of the affray shifted to the yard and the street and that N1ckols walked up to Hudgins while the gun was leveled on him and a scuffle followed for possession of the gun. Whether the gun was discharged in the scuffle or whether Nickols shot Hud- gins with it after securing possession of it is not established. Nichols was ar rested

made within a few days which tell of the resources of two of the largest bank
 ing institutions in the United States One of them stands at the head of the list of national banks and is now sixth in the list of banks of the world. The other
 is state-chartered institution. Together these two carry deposits somewhat in eX- cess of $1, ,00O, GOO, ,000 And the increase in deposits gained by each in year reflects to a considerable extent the effects of the European war. One of these banks is the depository of the funds subscribed by banking institutions which took up the entire Anglo French loan of s5oo OO0,0 GOO. The other has very great international transactions represented upon it's books tions carried on by Russia with the United States have been facilitated This one is the Guaranty Trust. A year ago it carried deposits of almost exactly $780, 000,000 On March 17 of this year it re- ported deposits of a little in excess O. S470,0G0 600. There was therefore a gain in a single year of $211. .0O0, 900.
 These figures, impressive as they ere, nevertheless are, relatively speaking, no more so than the gains reported in other parts of the country--in the northwest. for instance in Detroit, in the Mississippi valley or that part of it of which St. Louis is the center and particularly upon the Pacific coast. So, too, unheard-of in creases are reported from some parts of the south, particularly the Atlanta dis trict, which makes it clear that that city is about to take rank, if it has not alfead yaedone- so. with the great cotton marts of the United States.

of view, as a single family, each member of it co-operati ting with every other mem Der so that the greatest good can be se- cured. One of the surmses heard wher the conference at Paris was in progress was that steps were decided upon which are sure to indicate the direction which the military movements of all the allies, acting as though under one supreme head, will take.
 It has been observed since MT. Nor gan's return from London that the pre- vailing impression in the financial district is that the war is to be prolonged for an other year and possibly for two years. This view is in accord with that which some of the leaders in the district took after the return of MT. Morgan. and a few weeks later MT. Davison from London, in the early spring of 1915. Then it was said that while no man could fix the date of the termination of the war yet those best informed were convinced that they could tell when the war would end. That time will come, they said, when either the British empire is destroyed or the charac teristic feature of German civilization sometimes called militarism is ended.
 AN ERRONEOUS VIEW
 The impression seems to have spread abroad in other parts of the country that the leaders in the financial district would be very glad, outside of the considerations of humanity, if the war were not speedily ended. And it is also common impress sion that the manufacturers of munitions of war will be glad if the war is pro- longed for many months so that they can continue to make and market abroad these commodities.
 Nevertheless, careful inquiry reveals that both these impressions are wrong The makers of munitions of war have now on hand orders that will occupy their manufactures to their capacities for another year and some of them for two years. Almost all of the managers of these industries are now giving serious consideration to conditions in the United States after the European war is ended They want to be prepared to meet these conditions. This feeling explains the re- cent agitation that is now spreading throughout the country in favor of indus trial ordination and cooperation so that the industries of the country may well be prepared to meet whatever condi- tions may arise after the war and may be prepared also to assist the govern ment after the work of preparation for defense is well under way.
 From one point of view, Wall street would be glad if the war were speedily ended, because the longer the delay the more difficult it may be to adjust the financial situation of the country to the condition which will arise after the war. Of course, from the point of view of humanity and the cessation of bloodshed, every one earnestly desires an early ter imitation of the war.

.DYESTUFFS FROM
NATIVE FORESTS
FRANCE PREPARING TO PRODUCE
VEGETABLE DYES TO DRIVE
OUT ANiLlNES


PARIS, May 27.-An inventory OF
forest trees from which may be deriv-
ed extracts suitable for the manufac-
ture of dyes has just been made by
the Agricultural department. The
tree that abounds the most in France
in coloring properties is the black oak,
but there are some yellow oaks whose
extract is considered even more valu-
able than that Of the black oak. France
is also quite rich in the white walnut
which gives different shades of brown
color and the extract of which, it is
recalled, was used to dye the uniforms
of the soldiers from Tennessee and
Kentucky In the War of Secession 1t
is thought that by systematic effort
a wealth of coloring material may be
derived from the French forests
though they in no wise compare with
the American forests in vegetable
coloring matter.
