Echoes of the Capitol Fire.

State officials at Charleston have
been very busy the past week getting
the various departments in runaln,
condition and bringing order out of the
chaos caused by the burning of the
capitol building. They have accom-
pllShed wonders. The Board of Public
Works on Thursday authorized the
erection of temporary capitol build
ing adjoining the executive mansion
and the quarters OF the Board of Con-
troll. A frame structure two stories
high was decided upon, and the con
tract was let to David Dick, a Charles
ton con ractor. at his bid of 100000
He is to rush the building at all pos
sible speed.
The handsome structure known a
the capitol annex was untouched b
the flames. 1t houses the Auditors
offices, containing all the vital records
affecting property titles in every county
of the State; the Supreme Court
quarters and all the documents
of that department of he gov
eminent; the splendid State law
library, the State treasury and the
important department of archives am
his'ory. These important branches o
the State government have suffered no
less whatever, nor has the Board O
Control, housed in another building
lost anything.
Many valuable paintings, including
portraits of all but two former Gov
errors OF the State, were lost in the
hre. The only ones rescued were o.

sending a sharp right to Georges left eye, that brought stream of blood from an old wound, which had been worrying the French champion for several weeks. CarpentieT fought valiantly, but he was waging log ing battle. The round was all iR favor of the American.
 Round 3.-Dempsey was given a tremendous ovation as he came out of his corner for the third round. Carpenter tucked a left hook. Jack backed into the ropes and landed a short right to Georges body. Carpen- tier landed two uppercuts to body as the men came to clinCh. Dempse2 punished Carpenter on the body, and Georges fell to the canvas as he miss ed a wicked swing for Jacks jaw. Dempsey lands on the French cham pion's body at will, Jack lands left and right to chin, without a blow being received in return. Carpentier missed a right swing. He is fighting desperately at this stage. Dempsey battled Georges into his corner with d shower of right hooks as the bell sounded. which saved the Frenchman from q knockout.
 Round 4.-Jack rushed Carpen- tier, landing at will. The crowd urg- cd Jack to finish his man. Carper- tier goes to the mat from a hard left to body. he took the count of nine. Dempsey bides his time, and spars for an opening that will end the fight. He sent over q short rir.ht hook to Carp's chin, Georges hands fell to his sides, his face became llv- ed. his knees trembled for a moment, and he fell forward, 10 the mat. Dempsey stood over him, until the fatal ten second had been tolled over the fallen French idol, and then he picked the defeated man up in his arms and carried him to his corner. Carpenter remained unconscious for fifteen seconds. The end came after one minute and siXteeen sec onGs of he fourth round.
 The Freuchmdn won the admira- tiou of the vast audience for his gaueness. and he earned a fortune that fs estimated at $150,000 for taking ,hrashing. Dempsey's share of tl. purse was approximately S20GGC0.
 Harry Ertle the veteran referee, was in the ring and his work was most satisfactory to both contes- tents.

SEATTLE BANK
 CLOSES DOORS

Seattle, July l.-The financial world was shocked early this morn ing by the news which swept over the city that the Scardiuavian-Amer- tcau Bank had suspended. It was known that a quiet run has been in progress on the Bank ever since the collapse of the Tacoma Scandinavian American Bank.
 The Tacoma Bank was originally founded by the Seattle Scandinavian American Bank, as a branch bank.
 John II. Duke, supervisor of state banking took charge of tine Seattle institution this morning.
 The bank owes about eleven mil lion dollars to it's depositOrs, and it is the opinion of conservative bank CTS of the city that the concern will in time pay up nearly in full.
 The Standardization Bank has been looked upon for many years as one of the strongest financial con- cerns on the Pacific coast. and it's de- positors are distributed all along the coast as far north as Nome and Teller. as it did an immense bus mess with Alaska.
 Seattle. July Tt has been an~ nounced that Jafet Lindeberg. the Nome millionaire miner and banker, held controlling interest in the Scandinavian American Bank at one time.
 The bank had at the time it sus- pended five thousand commercial ac- counts and over twenty one savings banks accounts.
 It is known that many Alaskans are in the crash.
 Seattle, July Mrs. Charles E. Taylor, formerly of IditarOd, Alas ka and a sister of Judge James Wickersham died here today.
 Mrs. Taylor has been living in Se- attle for some time and has been un- der treatment for an extended peri od. She died at the family resi- dence.
 Seattle, July 1..-J. E. Chilberg who formerly was head of the Sean dinavian American Bank, and whose booze operations during the war pe- riod contributed much to the crash arrived at Tacoma today from New York.
 Chilberg is under indictment for his connection with the defunCt Ia coma Scandinavian American Bank, and will be placed on trial as soon as court conYenes.
