Robin Was a Director Until a Year Ago and the Failure of the Northern and Washington Banks Is Partly Responsible For Recent Run. City a Depositor. New i'orlc, Jan. S. — The Carnegie Trust company, that was closed by O. II. Cheney, slate bank commission- er, has had a .stormy career since it was organized in lOUfj by Charles C. Dickinson. Its directors hare fre- quently been changed, and among its presidents have been Leslie It. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury; J. B. Keichmann, Joseph T. Howell and Mr. Dickinson. The failure followed the inability of the directors to raise $430,0flu to pay four checks which Mr. Cheny did not consider good paper. The recent closing of the Northern bank and the Washington Savings bank, both Robin institutions, caused a run on the Carnegie Trust company. Joseph G. Robin was at one time a director of the company, but resigned over a year ago. The trust company was mentioned in Superintendent of Insurance Ilotchkiss' statement cov- ering Robin's financial operations at the time of the closing of the North- ern bank. The city had .SfioO.OOO on deposit with the trust company, and the local federal courts hail made it a deposit- ory for trustee funds ,in bankruptcy proceedings. It is said that these funds now on deposit may be secured. At one time or another it has been connected directly or indirectly with many individuals whose career as financiers 1ms been marked by noto- riety. Joseph C. Robin, who is now on trial for alleged larceny from banks in the chain headed by the failed Northern bank, was a director a year ago. It was said that one of his alleged \kited\ checks for $1U0,0(I0 hail b»en paid bv the Carnegie the day after the Northern closed. Another connection between the Northern bank and the Carnegie is the fact that Frank L. Grant, who was president of the Northern when it was closed, was formerly vice presi- dent of the Carnegie. He left the Carnegie to become president of the Hfimiltou hamc. The Hamilton bank failed in the panic of 1007. Following the panic a merger was effected of the old Northern bank, the Hamilton and the Riverside. Grant was made president of the new institution. A. E. Chandler, assistant secretary of the Carnegie Trust company, gave out the following list of officers: Jo- seph T. Howell, president; It. L. Smith, vice president; A. B. Mnoivhoad, sec- retary; A. E. (\handler assistant sec- retary; W. L. Sampson, assistant treasurer. The position of treasurer is vacant. \There is no reasonable doubt that depositors will be paid in full,\ Mr. Howell, the. president, said. \In the event of careful liquidation stock- holders should receive a substantial amount upon their holdings. As a consequence of the panic of 1!)0T a cousiderti'.-.I, portion of the assets of the company was low, though good. As a going concern there was no ques- tion but that the capital stock of the company was absolutely unimpaired. \Since I assumed the presidency of this company—loss than ninety days ago at the request of certain power- ful -Ni'w York interests I have had ev- ei-y reason for believing that the gen- eral condition of the institution was improving steadily. All the indications wore that the company's future was assured and that it would gradually develop into a large and prosperous institution.\ ORGANIZE TO FIGHT HARMON. Machine Democrats Will Aid Wilson For 1912. Cincinnati, Jan. S.—Ohio Democrats are to form Woodrow Wilson clubs*) boom the New Jersey man for 1912, according to William A, Brudroe of Dayton. The wing- of the party known as the Hanley-Finley-Garber machine is an- gry with Governor Harmon. They de- clare that his secret opposition brought about the choice of Attleo Pomerene for United States senator instead of Edward TV. Hanley. Indiana \Skunk\ Bill Up Again. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 8.—Senator Stephen A. Powers of Angola will in- troduce his famous \skunk\ bill when his name is called for the presentation of legislative measures this week. The bill provides for the protection of fur bearing animals in Indiana, except foxes, during the time of the year in which their pelts are least valuable. The senator has received a petition from interested persons in Steuben and surrounding counties to which 20/7 names were affixed, asking that he present the \skunk\ bill again and ex- ert, himself to obtain its passage.

Neely, president of the Wichita Pipe Line company and of several other large oil companies in Kansas and Ohio, was shot and killed in the Palace ho- tel by Al O. Truskett, owner of the hotel and a prominent business man of this place. The shooting was the result of litigation over an oil lease. Truskett surrendered immediately and was taken to jail in Independence, Kan. There were no witnesses to the shooting. Soon after it occurred Trus- kett. went to the home of his brother, E. W. Truskett, where he was found by J. H. Mclnroy. city marshal. The two men had known each other for fcwenty-hve years, and Truskett made no resistance. Melnroy started with Truskett to the town jail. On the way Melnroy asked:, \Why did you do it, Al?\ \He attacked me,\ was the reply, \and I was forced to do it.\ Further than this Truskett would not talk. Neely's body was taken to an under- taker's establishment, a coroner's jury called and an inquest begun. Follow- ing the inquest the body was sent to Lima, O. No weapon was found on the body. Truskett was brought back from In- dependence and arraigned, on a charge, of murder. He was released under $25,000 bond for a preliminary hear- ing. Neely was about sixty-five years old. Truskett, who is close to seventy years old, is one of the early settlers of this part of the state. At the time of his death Neely was president of the Lima Trust company. Wichita Natural Gas company and the Iron Mountain Oil company. Besides he was interested in the Neely-Olovor company, Columbus Natural Gas com- pany and other gas and oil companies. He was a thirty-third degree Mason and prominent in church affairs. Ho is survived by a wife, two sons and a daughter. HOLD OFF GrJ ARBITRATION. Proposed General Treaty Excites Lit- tle, British Interest. London, Jan. 8.—The project of re- viving- the negotiations for a general Anglo - American arbitration treaty upon the subject of which President Taft is sonneting the senate committee on foreign relations attracts compa- ratively little interest here. Few of the newspapers express an opinion on the matter. * Undoubtedly, however, the British government would meet the United States halfway. The Liberal party is particularly favorable to such an arrangement. The general feeling nevertheless is that the senate may block the plan, and the English states- men are not anxious for a repetition of their experience in the case of the Hay-Paimcefote treaty. Dix to Address State Guards. Albany, N. Y.. Jan. 8.— Governor Dix has accepted an Invitation to address the National Guard association of the state, which will have its fifth annual dinner at the Hotel Ten Eyck Thurs- day night. The other speakers will be Major General Thomas H. Barry, Colonel Eben Swift. Lieutenant Gov- ernor Thomas F. Conway- and Joseph A. Lawson. The thirty-third annual convention of the association will open at the city hall here Wednesday and continue for two days. Oyster Home of $100 Pearl. Orange, N. J., Jan. 8. — Alphonse Westee, formerly chief accountant for idle Edison companies, of West Or- ange, found a pearl in an oyster at the Old Homestead hotel that is val- ued, by a local jeweler at ?100, AMIST JUMPS BOND TO ELOI Charles R. Drummond Defies Courts to Wed. GIRL'S FATHER IN PURSUIT, The Millionaire St. Louis Society Man Who Was Sentenced to Six Months For Bigamy and Later Paroled Leaves His Home City In Company With a Stenographer. New York, Jan. S.—Charles R. Drum- mond, the St. Louis millionaire whu startled society in that city Thursday by eloping With Miss Agnes McClana- han, a stenographer, and who arrived with her in New York on the Pennsyl- vania railroad twenty-four hour fiiei Friday night, has been spending the time since keeping out of sight. The runaways, who were accompa- nied by a mutual friend named Lo- gan, got into a taxicab at the station, and Drummond gave orders to drive to the Hotel Astor. The chauffeur afterward said he had driven to the Hotel Woodstock, but the manager, W. H. Valiquette, denied that any persons answering the description of Drummond and Miss McClanahau were registered there. Drummond, who is the son of a to- bacco manufacturer, has had a sensa- tional matrimonial career. Less than a -week ago he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined $5U0 for bigamy in St. Louis. But sen- tence was suspended, and he was pa- roled on his promise never to touch liquor in St. Louis or to marry with- out being first legally divorced. . He had pleaded guilty to bigamy in hav lug married Charlotte Vincent. Miss Maude Ringer became Drum- mond's first wife, and three children were born to the couple. She got a divorce Jan. 28, 1909. His next matri- monial venture was with Miss Tin- cent. Without getting a divorce from her he married Charlotte Beute Jan. 8 of last year. All three marriages were elopements. His first wife, who was the daughter of John Bingen, a stove manufacturer, was a mere schoolgirl when Drum- mond fled with her. He -was only twenty years old. In her bill for di- vorce she charged that Drummond drank to excess, squandered his mon- ey in bucket shops and neglected her and the children. Prosecutor E. W. Mills of St. Louis county wired the New York police to arrest Drummond if he was found in- toxicated or in company with the young woman with whom he eloped. Detectives were sent on his trail. Meanwhile John McClanahau of Eu- -felia Springs, Arte., father of Drum- Mond's companion, is hurrying east with a twofold purpose, that of find- ing his daughter and wreaking ven- geance on the young millionaire. He arrived in St. Louis soon after Miss McClanahau started for New York with Drummond. Drummond, if arrested for having broken his parole, will have to serve his six months' sentence. Miss McClanahan is twenty-two years old and was a stenographer for an ad- vertising company. Mrs. Charlotte Drummond, the third wife, said in St. Louis that she had not seen her husband in four weeks and didn't care if she never saw him again. BOOKS FOR IDLE FIREMEN. Small Libraries to Be Established at Each Engine House. New r York, Jan. 8.—Small libraries are to be established in most fire en- gine houses of the city, the books be- ing supplied by the public libraries. Some engine houses already are well supplied with reading matter through the generosity of individuals. In the outlying districts, where fires are few and the men have lots of leis- ure, the lack of books lias been great- ly felt. So representatives of public libraries had a talk with Fire Com- missioner Waldo, and the arrange- ments were made to establish circulat- ing libraries. Chaplain Edward H. M. Knapp is to be department librarian for Man- hattan and the Bronx, and Chaplain Thomas F. McGrohen' is to be li- brarian for Brooklyn and Queens.

Telfener, Tex., Jan. 8.—Six deaths have occurred and many residents of this Victoria county village are ill as a result of eating bread made from flour which a chemist analyzed and found to contain arsenic. How the poison got into the flour, which was bought at the village gro- cery from an open barrel, has -not been determined. Tuft's Professor to Egypt. Medford. Mass., Jan. S. — Professor Tliomas Whittemore of Tufts college has accepted an invitation to accom- pany the annual expedition of the Eg3 r pt exploration fund. The explora- tion is supported each year by the British government and will be led by Edonard Naville, the French arch- aeologist. Excavations have been un- der wav for some time at Abydos, New Connecticut Senator Probably Will Be Ex-Governor. Hartford, Conn., Jan. 8.—The Ke- publican caucus, which decides who shall be the next United States sena- tor from Connecticut, will nieet in the house of representatives Tuesday aft- ernoon. As the Democrats lack sixty- seven votes of a majority in the legis- lature there is no doubt that the cau- cus will result in naming the candi- date who will be elected on joint bal- lot a week later. The success of the McLean faction in electing a speaker of the house and president of the senate has removed all serious doubt that ex-Governor George Phelps McLean will be chosen to succeed Morgan G. Bulkeley, who still, however, declares that he has enough votes assured to be able to succeed himself. McLean's majority in the joint caucus will probably be between fifty and sixty votes. There are 130 Itepubiican members. ISCI \ENEMY\ Rear clmha! Stanton Defends soas! Successfully, Boston, Jan. -8.—-The naval denion- tration against the Atlantic coast by the returning North Atlantic squad- ron, under command of Hear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, has been defeated by the defending fleet, commanded by Rear Admiral S. A. Stanton, in the opinion of the naval authorities. They learned that the \enemy\ had been discovered and located off the coast. Hear Admiral Schroeder, with six- teen battleships, sailed from Europe ten days ago for Guantanarao, -with orders to threaten the Atlantic coast on the way, the game being-to get as close to the coast as possible without being discovered. Itear Admiral Stanton was placed in the command of the defending fleet with the cruisers Tennessee, Montana, North Carolina, Washington, Birming- ham and Salem. This fleet sailed earlier in the week and has been on patrol from Eastport to Jacksonville. Wireless telegraphy was eliminated during the game, and it w r as neces- sary to locate the \enemy\ under the old conditions. It is understood that the attacking fleet continued on its -way to the West Indies after being discovered. WEST UNION WOMEN CONTROL Disfranchised Men Leave Opening For Fair Candidates.

ENDS DIPLOMATIC SERVICE, The Former Secretary of Commerce and Labor Had Been American Rep- resentative to Constantinople Three Times and Now Is Relieved While on a Leave of Absence. Washington, Jan. 8.—Oscar Solomon Straus of New York, ex-secretary of commerce and labor and for more than a year and a half American am- bassador to Turkey, has resigned his post at Constantinople. It has been known for some time that Mr. Straus intended to sever his connection with the diplomatic service. Early in No- vember he received leave of absence, and for the past two months he has been in New York. On the way home Mr. Straus indi- cated his desire to retire from the am- bassadorship to Turkey, but the mat- ter was held in abeyance until a short time ago, when he informally tender- ed his resignation to the president. He did not submit a formal letter of resignation, such action being unnec- essary- His leave of absence, Which according to law \was limited to sixty days, expired early in January and by reason of his informal resignation the post at Constantinople became vacant at that time. William \W. Roekhill, the present American ambassador to Russia, is likely to succeed him, although this is by no means certain, as several names are under consideration. The announcement of the appointment of a successor is expected shortly. Mr. Straus has the distinction of having served as American diplomatic representative at Constantinople un- der three successive appointments. He\ was first named as minister to Turkey March 24, 18S7. Two years later he resigned. Again, June 3,1898, he was appointed to the same post and again served only two years. From 1906 to 1909 he was secretary of commerce and labor. The last ap- pointment as ambassador came soon after Mr. Taft Avas inaugurated. \When Mr. Straus left Constantinople about four months ago John Ridgely Carter, minister to the Balkan states, was transferred from Bucharest to Constantinople to serve as minister to Turkey until the return ofc Ambassa- dor Straus or some one should be ap- X)oiuted in his place. >••'••••••••••• + ••••• + • +-•••+ •-• a >: .
