" CHEYENNE
ATION BANKS
CLOSED DOORS

HT Ear AaawHaA T7~AH .-Ea. HTrA.4
Rawlins people were much sur
prised yesterday to learn of the clos
ing OF two Cheyenne banksEthe
First National Bank and the Citizens
National Bank.
The First National was n Of the
largest and strongest banks in the
state and its suspension was entirely
unforeseen. Reports from Cheyenne
this morning are to the effect that
this bank, which has as officers and
directors some of the strongest fl
nancia1 men in the state, will un-
d%oubtedly be opened in the near fu-
ture. T. C. Cosgriff, formerly a res
ident of Rawlins, was at time
the principal stakeholder of this
bank but several years ago his in
terest was practically disposed of to
Cheyenne financiers, since which time
the bank has been entirely owned
and managed by Cheyenne people.
Some people have expressed the
belief hat there was some connec-
ton between The First National Bank
of this city and the First National
of Cheyenne. However, this is I'M
founded as j.. e. Cosgriff, the pres
ident of the First National of Raw
Inns, has never had any interest at
all in the Cheyenne bank, and the
ownership of the two banks is en-
tirely different.
Yesterdays Cheyenne Tribune car
ried the following account of the
suspension of the two Cheyenne
banks:
The First National bank of Chey-
enne did not open its doors Wednes-
day morning. At 1915 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon the Citizens
National bank closed it's doors. A
posted notice on the door of the
First National stated that the bank
was closed by sorder of the board
Of directors and was in the hands
of the national bank examiner. The
notice was signed by J.. F. Lorang
ment concerning the closing of the
Citizens National was issued, nor
was any notice posted.
George E. Abbott. president Of the
bank. when requested to give his
opinion as % the causes necesistat-
ing the banks CLOSING. stated that
he thought the three principal rea-
sons were:
First, extraordinary depreciation
in values, more particularly cattle,
agricultural products and lands.
Second. excessive taxation.
Third, the broad policy adopted
by the bank whereby it undertook
to render helpful assistance to the
smaller banks Of the state In an
effort to support the business inter-
ests of the state" 80
Mr.. Abbott further stated that
the directors OF the bank felt that
the interests OF all the ~depositors
would be best conserved by the clos
ing at this time and that he was
hopeful the final result would save
the depositors any excessive loss

DECLARES DAVIS
 HAS FALLEN DOWN
Lockwood Insists He Has Failed
 tdproYe Charges.

Washington, Oct. i7.--George D. Lockwood, former secretary of tho
 republican national committee, yest-
 crday telesraphed John w. Davis that the latter's public statement is- sued last night in Illinois had failed to establish proof Of the charges made by the democratic presidential can didats regarding the indictment of Senator Wheeler of Montana.
 In his statement Mir. Davis quoted testimony before Q senate comnit- tee touching on MT. Lockwood's connection with the case and de- clared that If Mr. Lockwood were "a person of sufficient consequence to- deserve reply" to his telegram
 on the subject. the tone of that mes sage made a reply unnecessary.
 Replying to your statement" said the telegram sent by MT. Lock- wood today, "any citizen important
 enough for you to attack on the stump Is important enough to be entitled to fair answer when he demands proof of your charges, which you have failed to give.'
 "You charged without justiflca- ton, in your Terre Haute speech. that 1 was involved in a criminal conspiracy to frame up on Senator Wheeler. When challenged for proof you merely cited evidence that upon learning that Wheeler was accused of selling his official influence to a fraudulent oil company, l sent a newspaper man to Montana to secure
 material for publication; that upon learning this correspondent had found several witnesses having first hand knowledge of the transaction, I instructed him to give the names of these witnesses to the department of justice; that these witnesses testi- mony along with evidence previously developed in an investigation of Senator Wheeler's oil company
 clients for using the mails to de- fraud, went before grand jury
 which decided that 1t constituted a
 sufficient basis for indictment.
 This of course no one has ever
 denied or has any disposition to deny
 since 1t is the duty of every good
 citizen to reveal and not hide the
 crimes of public officials. You know
 as lawyer that Senator Wheeler
 was regularly indicted by a grand
 jury composed of his Montana neigh
 bors, not in Washington.
 Do you really think it a crime to
 cover evidence of democratic sem
 ators malfeasance and turn it over
 to the legally established tribunals
 for prosecution of crime, while a
 virtue for your friend Wheeler to
 air the testimony of criminals
 against public officials in a court of
 inqulsition, governed by no rules of
 law or evidence? Do you believe that
 when a public official is charged with
 betrayal Of his trust he ought 10 be
 free from prosecution because he Is
 a member of your political party
 and that those who bring to the
 notice Of the public and the courts
 the official r1isdoings of public of-

MYSTERY MANSION PASSES

Chelsea's mystery house, in Lon don, for years a spot of morbid curt osity to bus passengers, is soon to be replaced by seven modern residential buildings. This old mansion con- tained a magnificently fitted bridal chamber, prepared for a wedding that never took place. The house was designed by the eccentric vir- tuoso, Dr. Phene for his future bride who was taken by death on the morning of the wedding. The heart broken bridegroom gave orders that the room be sealed up ever af- forwards, which it was until the doctors death about 12 years ago. The mansion is being torn down.

Japan Does Not Want
 Philippines. He Says

Manila. Oct. 1T. - M. Inouye. member of the house of representa- tives of Japan. who is here to in- vestigate business conditions in the hemp region of Davao province where Japanese have large interests. has declared that Japan had no in- tention of grabbing the Philippines In the event that America grants them independence.
 "As c member of the parliament of Japan. I know my country has never entertained a thought of add ing the Philippines to her colonies" " said M. Inouye. "All talk about Japan taking over the Philippines the moment the United States grants them independence is absolutely groundless.
 T know you are capable of run ming your own government. but l think you should first develop your natural resources because, when a country is economically self-support- ing. she will be able to stand on her own feet. As managing director of the South Islands association of Japan. I am here to foster better relations with your people,"

his opponents plenty of action. He put up a great scrap with Jimmy Finley last week and is in great shape for his coming bout. Both boxers are the kind of boys who do not mind mixing 1t and are not afraid of taking theirs in the giving. So it is extremely likely that a slugging melee will occur in the To- cal ring when the two meet.
 Good PreliminarieS
 A good preliminary card has been arranged for the bout and it is prom ised that the amateurs will uphold their end of the program to perfec- tion. One of the feature bouts will be between Stevie Sarron and Red Burke. Burke made a great showing against Boots Smith last week when he licked him decisively and the local youngster has been improving much of late. Sar- ron scored a knockout in a bout with Burke here once before. A crushing blow on the chin ended the bout after Red had put up a winning fight. Sar- ron will have a faster man to contend with than before, for Red has speeded up quite a bit.
 Bogie Saab and Sailor Simpson are slated for a six-round fracas, which should be one for the fans. Both are heavy hitting battlers of the slugging type and don't mind mixing the bat tie.
 Young Adams and Poe Resha are also slated to stage a four-rounder and this one should be another hot one.
 A good wrestling bout is promised when Red Stokes ties up with Max Scholder in 10-round bout. Stokes won from Taylor last week and showed plenty of science. Scholdef will have a tough battle when he meets this youngster, if indications go for any thing in figuring dope

New York entertains Brooklyn at the Polo grounds tomorrow in the last game of the season in which these two teams will be opponents.
 The American league season in New York and Washington closed today, both team taking to the road tomorrow for a series of games which will carry them through the west and the team which can stand the strain from this point on will participate in the words series.
 Brooklyn was the sensation in the ma jor leagues last week. The Dodgers won 12 of their 13 games played during the week, including in this number four straight double-headers on consecutive days, a record in the annals of organ ized baseball.
 Cincinnati, which has been fighting Chicago for a first division berth, gained this position on Saturday and strength ened it today at the expense of Pitts burg.
 The Phillies, despite the fact that they knocked out 15 home runs during the week, five more than any team in either league, could win only two out of eleven played.
 The weeks major league totals of games won and lost, runs, hits, errors, opponents runs and home runs, includ- ing games of Saturday follow:

NATIONAL RACE
 HOLDS INTEREST
Senators And Giants Still Hanging On By Bare
 Margins

NEW YORK, Sept. 7-The east con- tinues to dominate the west in the quest for baseball honors. The Washington Senators and the New York Giants, closely pressed by their two closest ri vals, are hanging tenaciously to the pinnacle of the circuit. The Giants, although winning but six of their eleven games during the past week, managed to hold the lead despite burst of speed by the Dodgers that carried them to 15 straight victories before Boston applied the brakes.
 The Senators, by winning all five of their games during the past week, re- mained on the top deck in the Ameri- can league when New York lost three out of eight played.
 In the National league the race is most interesting. New York, Brooklyn and Pittsburg have been jockeying for position all during the week, Brooklyn drawing up within three points of the Giants only to fall back again today when the Giants overpowered them by clubbing them into submission by the power of their bats.
 Pittsburg, which team Tapped Brook lyn Saturday when the Dodgers lost the second game of Q double-header to Bos- ton, lost ground today when Cincin- natl scored double triumph over them.
 Both Washington and New York lost today but Detroit gained ground by de- feating Cleveland.
 The standing of the three leaders in the two leagues including games of to- day follows:

finally chosen Friday, and that it's mem- bers will play together Saturday for the first time.
 Captain Lacey Hurt
 Apart from this disadvantage, which was avoidable, Lacey, the English cap tain, has not played game since he tore his shoulder muscles in an acci- dent in London two months ago, except which he again injured his shoulder. He has not dared risking his neck in a practice game since.
 Kirkwood also had a polo accident in London, and he has not been able to find his form. Hurndall, who for years has been a back playing at No. 3, has to transform himself into a for ward and take place at No. 2. Even the layman will thus realize that the odds against an English victory must be heavy.
 The English players are not down. hearted, although they fully realize what they are up against. They are out to do. or die, and they will put up the fight of their lives. But they have to face relentless, goal-getting ma chine in the American team, machine in which no weak spot has yet been dis covered by the strongest combinations brought against it.
 Everyone will hope that somehow or other the glorious uncertainty which enters into polo as into every other game worth playing may assert itself, so as to avert the one-sided struggle which nobody would enjoy, and which would be a disappointment even to the most fanatical partisan.
 The teams will line up as follows:
 America-J. Watson Webb, No. 1; T. Hitchcock No. 2; Malcolm Steven son, No. 8, and Devereux Milburn, back.
 England-Major T. w. Kirkwood, No. 1; Major F. B. Hurndall, No. 2; Major E. J. Atkinson, No. 8, and L. L. Lacey. back,
