"thc investigation has now struck its

Besides the New York insurance com
pany dragged down to ruin through the
bank failure. it Is rumored that several
other companies and firms are nearly
on the shoals Of disaster from the same
cause. Frantic efforts are being made
by them to escape complete wreckage.
Supported BY Investigators
These frcnzicd endeavOrs to repay
big overdraftS on the scuttled bank have
the sympathy and support of the state
investigators. They point out the
greater the number of sound Securi-
ties the bank has, the greater will be
the pro rata distribution of assets among
dcpositors.
1t is understood that county detec-

warrants for several implicated In the

will be necessary to get one of the men
wanted. and it may be necessary to ex-

imperial German chancellor. of a tcle-

minutes.
''Thc kaiser was very violent and

BLAME REDS FOR BOMBING
Federal Agents Checking Up Radi.
Gals Prosecuted by lawler

Los Angeles, Aug. 6.-By A. P.l-
Oficers of the Department of Justice
today began checking up the activities
of known radicals in an effort to ap-
prehend those responsible for the ex-
plosion which wrecked the home of
Oscar Lawler early Sunday morning.
Federal officials are convinced the
dynamiting was perpetratrd as an epi-
sode IN a nation wide campaign of ter
rorism. They pointed out that the
terms of many of the men whom Mr..
Lawler, as special assistant attorney
general, prosecuted at indianapolis in
1914 for illegally Transporting Gyna
mite. are expiring, and that the con
yicted men may have planned retaliation
against those connected with their
cnses.
The condition of Mr.. Lawler, who
was seriously burned in the fire that
followed the explosion, was improved
today, and Mrs. Lswler was said to be
virtually out of danger.

M0YER LIKED CAGE
OF RECEIVING TELLER
Cashier of Wrecked Bank Had
to Be "Shooed" Away, Says
Robert c. Hartman
STRANG ALSO INTERESTED

Holding down a job at the North
Penn Bank wasn't all roses during the
days when some of the clerks at the
institution we're busy manipulating its
books.
That's the opinion Of Robert G.
Hartman, receiving teller Of the bank,
who lives at 324S North Baily street.
Aside from the chaos resulting from
the nervousness of Ralph Moyer, the
accused cashier, his brother Ray and
Strang, Hartman says he had his hands
fulls showing" away the three men
from the receiving cage. which they
persisted in visiting at will.
Hartman intimated he knew "a thing
or two"
But l am not going to say anything
about them, except when ] am called to
tell what know by the authorities who
are investigating the banks affairs,
said Mr.. Hartman.
Mr.. Hartman has been connected with
the North Penn Bank for four years.
Explaining how it became the custom
for Strang to handle his cashbook, the
receiving teller said:
You see, | didn't know much about
the banking business when j started AT
the North Penn Bank. had to depend
upon people to help me out. Strang
offered to handle the cashbook for me,
] never watched him make up the cash =
book, for I was usually busy in count
ing up the deposits and attending to
other matters. I don't know whether
Strang did it correctly or not, but it
seemed to be right three fourths of the
time. The other times-well, 1t didn'
look altogether right.
Hartman said he had "a hard time
OF it, because he had no one to assist
him in the receiving teler's cage.
His protests to Meyer against the
practice of the other clerks in visiting
he receiving cage were Of no avail, Mr..
Hartman said.
