San Frnnolsco, July 17. Discovery
of a snortago In tho accounts of Wil
liam Muyerlnek, until recently pay
ing tailor of tho Union State bank at
Third and Market streets, caused him
to commit sulcldo hy blowing out his
brains with a revolver Bhot at his
home In Larkspur last night, accord
ing to 11 tttntoinont mndo today by
T. A. Dechtol. secretary and general
manager of tho Institution. Follow
ing tho sulfide of von Meyotlnuk,
State Hank Commissioner Aldon An
derson rinsed the doors of the bank
shnrth nfter 10 o'clock tills mornttiK.
The amount of tho alleged shortage
Is not known but It Is reported n t
Larkspur that tho man who comml'
ted suicide signed over to the bank
all his property recently.
Von Aleyurlnck had nut been con
nected with tho hank In un official
capacity for tho past month. Ho was
discharged when suspicion attached
to him nnd n subsequent Investigation
of Ills accounts, llechtel said, revoalod
a shortage. Ho was summoned yes
terday n appear before the directors
or ttio bank today and It Is thought
that ,.t ended IiIh IITo rather than fiioti
disgrace.
Tho dead teller was employed for
a year as cashier of the Slate Savings
mil Commercial bank t loin Fin-
more street nnd when the bank con
solidated with tho Union Stato bank
two months ago he was made pav
lug teller of tho affiliated Institu
tions. He worked In that rapacity
one month and was then discharged.
"I have ordored tho bank closod
becauso I doem It.unwlso to allow
the oinclals to contlnuo doing busl-
nosB nt prenont," was the statomout
of Suporlntondont of Hanks Aldon
Anderson. "It npoars from a casual
examination of tho affairs of tho In
stitution that tho ontlro capital will

tho assets shall bo disposed of This

I can only say that tho farther wo
havo go no with tho Investigation tho
worse tho bank's affairs appoar to
bo tangled.
"No responsibility has yot been
fixed on elthor von Moyerlnck or
any other Individual. My opinion
Is that nil of the men who have
been In ohnrgo of tho Union Stato
bank and tho Stato Savings and
Commercial bnuk aro lncompotont to
conduct such a btiHlnoss. Thoy havo
shown no lltnwu as bankors.
"The accounts of tlm Union State
bank have boon hopelessly lntorwo

the State Savings and Commercial.
The Union Stnto bank waa novor le

for tho correctness of which I cannot

Washington, July 17. All doubt
ns to wh'oro President Tnft stands
wuh regard to tho downward revi
sion of tho tnrlff was swept away Fri
day when a statement wns given out
nt tho whlto hotiso setting forth lu
detail what the president had to say
to 23 Kopubllcuu members of con
gress who called to protest ngntnst
putting raw materials on tho froo list.
Tho president lu this statement do-
clnrcd that tho ltopubllcati party was
committed to n downward revision,
unit ho nover had any other Idea of
the Chicago piatform and that ho per
sonally has promised it downward re
vision to tho people.
This Htatomeiit Is lmerprotod lu
some (iiiiiiteiH horo us a direct notifi
cation (o tho cotiforcos on tho tariff
bill that, If the minis u ru thoy finally
agroo upon does not constitute n ma
torlal reduction lu spoclflc dutloH, tho
president will exercise his power of
veto. Dictated lu tho third person,
tho Htatomeiit concludes with this
final word of ho, pruulduni'H attitude
iiM outlined to his cujlorn.
"Ho felt sXronglniho call of tho
country for a downward revision
within the limits of tho protective
principles und he hoped to be nblo to
respond to that call as he hoard It,
ax woll In the Interests of tho party
iih of tho country "
Tho presldont'H statement created
a sensation among senators and rep
resentatives. Senator Aldrlch mndo
uo direct comment upon It, but said
tho conferees had decided to let Mr
Tuft denl with schedule, upon which
thoy could mil agree. It being up to
tho president to secure the votes no
cossary to pass tho moanuro lu tho
form In which It would bo reported
)i t of conference as a rosult of his
mediation between tho hotiso nnd son
uto conferees.
Tho president up to this time has
not permitted himself to bo quoted
In connection with tho tariff strug
glo. Ills framo of mind was Indi
cated lu IiIh Now Ha von speech on
,111110 30, however, In which ho warned
the ltopubllcati party that. If It did
not koop Its promises It would he
relogntod to the minority.
Tho president now asserts for the
first time his authority m tho titular
head of his party. As such he an
nounces his conviction that tho party
platform meant n rovlslou downward
and thai. 110 other Interpretation can
be placed upon It.
