PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES
Money Coniino: From Kcw York to As
sist Coast Banks.
TttAKSFEREED BY TELEGRAPH
An ArraiiKeiiieiit That Will Ho Mutually
Itencllclut to the Govemiiient and
the Banks.
Associated Press.
Washington, June 22. The extensive
shipments of money by telegraph from
New York to San Francisco were made
today by Director of the United States
Treasurer Morgan. The bank failures
yesterday on the Pacific coast evident
ly spurred the banks to Increase the
supply "of ready money to meet any
emergency that may arise. This money
was transferred In a simple manner, A
bank in San Francisco telegraphs its
New York correspondent to place in
the sub-treasury at New York a given
sum of 'money to its credit, to be sent
to the San Francisco bank! The sub
treasury at New York telegraphs the
sub-U'easury at San Francisco to cred
it the bank with the given amount of
money. The San Francisco bank thus
saves express charges, a.nd the govern
ment, which receives gold for the mon
ey It transfers by telegraph, bulldfs up
its gold. It Is a mutual arrangement
by which both bank3 and government
are benefitted.
BANK FAILURES.
The Financial Stringency Causes Va
. rlous Suspensions.
San Francisco, June 22. At a meeting
of the board of directors of the Pacific
Bank tonight it was decided not to
open the doors tomorrow. The direct
cause of the suspension is a notice
from the clearing-house, association
that the bank's paper would not here
after be accepted. It has been known
for some time that the bank was la
boring under financial difficulties, aad
,the announcement from the board does
not create much surprise. The Pacific
Bank was organized in by R. H,
McDonald, and its present manager is
R. H. McDonald. It has a- paid-up cap
ital stock of $1,000,000. It had a noml
nalreserve of about $700,000 and deposits
of about $1,600,000. The loans are said
to be about $2,600,000. The failure seems
to be altogether due to the recent mon
etary troubles, and It Is expested that
the depositors will lose nothing. It
is believed that the closing of the doors
of the Pacific Bank will result In the
suspension of the Peoples' Home Sav
ings Bank, a collateral Institution, and
practically under the same manage
ment. - . , ,
Santa Ana, Cal., June 22. The First
National bank and the Commercial
bank of Santa Ana did not open their
doors this morning owing to heavy
withdrawals and inability to collect
fact enough. Both ' are solvent and
have ample .assets.. It is understood
that both the Orange and Tustln banks
have closed for a like reason. It Is re
garded here as a senseless scare.
Pomona, Cal., June 22. The People's
Bank did not open this morning. This
notice was posted on the doori "Owing
to the existing financial stringency, the
board of directors of this bank have
decided to temporarily close its doors.
Depositors will be paid in full." There
is very little excitement. The belief
Is .general that the bank Is perfectly
solvent.
New Whatcom, June 22. The FlrBt
National Bank, the oldest bank In the
county, . closed its doors today at
12 o'clock. Cashier Atkins states that

UNEASINESS IN NEW YORK.
New York, June 22. The amount of
clearing house certificates lssui,l today
was $2,3:;0,000. This brintrw the tofr.l up
to $4.So0.0o0. A ft--ling of unv!s-m.
stlil prevails in banking circles on ac
count of the Western and Pacific coast
banking troubles. All day -the banks
and private banking houses here were
receiving bad. news from California,
particularly Los Angeles, together with
a demand for currency. Bankers do
not, as a rule, place much' reliance on
the heralded return of gold from Eu
rope. Half a million on Its way here
is regarded as a drop In the bucket.
EASTERN GLOVE CONTEST.
Cop -y Island, N. Y., June 22. The
crack bouts scheduled, to take place be
fore the Coney Island Athletic club
tonight proved a drawing card. George
Reynolds and Mike Leonard opened the
evening's lUertalmnientt, fighting at
130 pounds. Both displayed consider
able science, and were gluttonous for
punishment, which was freely admin
istered. Leonard was the stronger In
the ninth, and after opening up a big
gash in Reynold's cheek, pounded him
about: the ring until he had hint out.
Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw brick
maker, and Billy Ernst next came on
the stage. Vernon was knocked out In
the ninth round. 'The final bout of
the evening between Jim Daly of Buf
falo and Joe Butler of Philadelphia,
started at 10:30. It was to be for twen
ty rounds or more , for $2,500. The
coon put Daly to sleep in the. sixth
round.

ginning to build monuments. All honor
to the pioneer. He labored, and we
have entered into his labors. We pos
sess the lands lie won from the savage
ry of nature and of the natives. Every
community should appropriately mark
such historical events an we now com
memorate. Wc should value our pos
sessions of lands and free Institutions
more highly If we learned that they
were bought, not with corruptible
things, as gold and silver, but with
precious blood, the blood of the brave
and Innocent. We rhoukl after this
lesson be more willing to preserve by
blood, If need be, that which ;n
bought by blood. There is a .teaching
and Inspiring force In every such i .'frac
ture. The constantly Increasing attendance
at the fair Is beginning to convince the
officials that the fair will not only be
a success artistically, but ul;-o finan
cially. The attendance from the out
side especially Is Increasing rapidly.

TWO WAYS OF PUTTING IT.
A gentleman, traveling In France
found himself In tho same compart
ment with a lady. He wanted i
smoke, and ns on French railways there
Is no objection to smoking, unless the
objections cane from other occupant i
of the same carriage, he raised his hat,
and In the clvlllst way asked the lady
did she mind the smell of tobacco.
"I do not know, sir," she answered.
No one has ever smoked In my- pres
ence," The reply was so good, so prlncessly,
as one might say, that It was prompt
ly spread abroad. In the process of
spreading It reached the ears of a
young ballet dancer, who was so well
pleas.'d with It that she determined,
the first time chance should be with
her, to put on a few airs herself. But
notoriously, ballet dancers are slupiil.
However, an ocearlon presently i.e.
purred a gentteman very civilly In
quired did she mind If he smoked.
"I don't know, sir," she answe.- d
haughtily, "No one has ever tisl -1
me before." Once a Week.
A German of wealth and education,
v ho has lived In this country for a
teimber of years, says he is convinced
that most of the suicides of his coun
try men, both on this side of the At
lantic and the other, are caused bv
adulterants In beer that have a de
pressing effect upon the nervous sys
tem and d!spo.--e the subject to melan
choly. The line of beer that was ciiei-i-l.aily
pure w.uhl, he thinks, prulu
no rre-h effects.
