ing the next week or ten days President

put in condition at the Brooklyn navy
yard. Her commander. Lieutenant
Charles Nelson, is recognized in the Navy
as one of the most fearless and accom

son should come to Oyster Bay in the

portunity to witness personally the prac
tical performances of the little vessel.

the way. He will view the work of the
vessel from the deck of the naval yacht
Sylph.

3IAYOR DUNNE'S AXIOMS.
Addresses Irishmen on Corruption
and Public Ownership.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) Mayor E. F. Dunne, of Chicago.
addressed an Immense crowd at the
annual Irish picnic today. He talked
of public ownership of utilities, saying
private monopoly of property Is re
sponsible for three-fourths of the cor
ruptlon. He urged his hearers to
place patriotism above parly, princi
pies above men. When the speaking
was over, he mingled with the crowd
and talked enthusiastically of his work
In Chicago. He was ready and wining
to tell of any phase of the many re
form's he had undertaken, from the
municipal ownership of street railways
to the suppression of gambling. Here
are some of the things Mayor Dunne
said:
"Let me urge you at all times to
place patriotism above party, princi
ple above men, and men abovo, mam
mon.
"Place not expediency or personal
profit before principle.
"Vote for no man whose character is
not clean and whose motives are not
pure.
"Public officials with alarming fre
quency are found whose careers are be
smirched with the taint of debauchery.
"The shocking spectacle that has
been presented within the last few
months of two united States Senators
being convicted of political corruption
and the wholesale implication of lesser
lights in the political world in boodle
and corruption should teach all think
ing men of thecare with which they
should use tneir sunrage as citizens.
"Three-quarters of all the political
corruption now existing In this coun
try can be laid at the doors of corrupt
men who nave oecn seeking to obtain
public exclusive rights and privileges
in tho shape of private monopolies of
public property.

at Depositors' Meeting.
DENVER, Aug. 12. President W. G.
Brown and the other officers of the closed
Western State Bank were arraigned in
the criminal court today on charges of
larceny in having received deposits when
they knew the bank to bo Insolvent. They
asked for a continuance and Judge Ma-
lono gave them two weeks to prepare
their answer.
Suit was filed today in the District
Court by Edith M. Raymond, who asks
that H. Ml Beatty, assignee of tho West
ern Bank, be removed. It Is alleged in
the complaint that Beatty Is In collusion
with the bank's officials now and that
hi was a rartv to thi transactions orlor
to the closing of Ihe bank's doors that
led to criminal proceedings being Insti
tuted. The plaintiff has an open ac
count of $515 and a cashier's check for
J300 in the Western Bank.

securities of every character found by
the committee cave uromise that depos
itors would receive dollar for dollar and
that the affairs of the bank could be
wound up within a year, provided litiga
tion did not ensue. It was the opinion
of the committee, however, that deposit
ors or stockholders, if they could be held
liable, might have to meet tho expenses
connected with assignment, but that In
SO days the bank should pay a dividend
of 25 per cent. In six months 25 per cent
more and be closed In a year.

requesting his continuance until sufficient
cause Is shown for his removal, disap
proval of all litigation Instituted for the

ment of a receiver and Indorsing assign

promoting the administration of the'
bank's affairs. The resolution was adop
ted without dissent.
