One of the Indictments charges Sie- | 8el and Vogel with grand larceny in that they made false statements to the Bank of Commerce in order to borrow $25,000. The other indictments allege that they accepted deposits when they knew the bank of Henry Siegel & company to be insolvent. Depositors Ejected. Siegel testified at the bankruptcy proceedings that he had not invested any capital in the private bank that bore his name. At that point in his testimony Miss Jessie Marlin an- nounced that she had a right to rep- resent the depositors at the hearing. She was urged to remain quiet. When she refused to do so, she was led from { the court room by United States Mar- { shal Henkel. Three hundred depesit- {ors, who were standing around the corridors, were also put out.

Tweo Proposals For tant Suffragettes. London, March 11—That partion of London which harvests the dollars of American tourists is showing much alarm over the closing of sightseeing shrines as a result of acts of vanda- lism committed by suffragettes. The manager of a hotel, half of whose guests come from the United States, said that the places now closed those which Americans come half way across the world to see and that there- fore he looks for a heavy loss arguing that if a number of tourists do not remain ‘away they are almost certain to curtail their stays at points of in- tersst. It is also feared, according to this hotel mwnager, that the stories of suf- fragette outrages have been so paint- ed im the United States that the timid tourists will give L.ondon a wide berth. As the suffragettes bombs have usufl- ly been placed at points to which | tourists are attracted, the claim is | made that fear of explosions already j had caused many American women to hasten through London without malk- ing their usual stops at these places. The manager of a large agency said today that the activities of the suffragettes undoubtedly would lessen the influx to London of tourists from the continent during the Easter sesason. - London the payment of the costs of suffra- gette outrages and efforts will be made the state responsible for losses grow- ing out of such outbreaks. When Reginald McKenna, the home secre- tary, tod in parliament, econfessed helplessness in the matter and invited suggestions, a vofce from the Unionist side suggested reciprocity with South Africa by deporting there in exchange for the labor leaders recently sept from South Africa to England. The newspapers editorially express intense indignation at the acts of vandalism of the suffragettes, but be- yond suggestiong that the perpre- trators ef the outrages be confined in insane asylums they offer no remedy for the situation. SULZER'S BODYGUARDS SUE HIM FOR WAGES. Ex-Governor Referred Them to the State for Compensation. Albany, N, Y. March 11.—Threp men who acted as bodyguards and watchers at the capitol and the executive man- sion for William Sulzer during the im- peachment proceedin~- against him last fall today sued him for their | wages, Anthony Flannigan sued for $345 and James Pickett and Michael AMcLaughlin for $60 each.

Washington, March 11.—Oral argu- nient was heard in the supreme court | today on the valldity under American law of the “vow of poverty” pre- scribed some twelve centuries ago for members of the Catholic Brotherhood of St. Benedict. Brlefs already had been submitted and the case is now before the court for decision. The legality of the “vow of poverty™ was questioned in the administration of the estate of Father Augustin Wirth, a priest of St. Benedict, who died at Springfield, Minn., leaving .considera- ble money and property. Relatives of the priest laid claim to the estate, but the brotherhood heid that under his vow Father Wirth could have nothing {in his own right and any property tha. had been in his possession belonzed to the order. The relatives won in the United States circuit court of appeals, h whi decided that the vow aga; t public policy and void. Former Judge Morgan J. O'Brien of ew York, on behalf of the order, told e court today that if the o | the lower court was allowed to stand ! as the law of the land the property of the Benedictines and all other religious | orders prescribing the vow of the or- { der would be endangered. He said the Jower court had failed to distinguish between the religious and civil natures of the vow. A member of the order, 1t was explained, could withdraw from the order in a civil aspect, although hizs vow in a religious way was bind- ing until death. OBITUARY. John Lambert Cadawalader. New York, March 11.—John Lambert Cadawalader, assistant secretary of state under Hamilton Fish and a prom- inent attorney, died here at the age of ' 76.
