Mr. Bryan conferred with Jose Ci tellot, personal representative of Pr visional President Carbajal. The latter brought official word of the restoration of constitutional guarantees and (ne evacuation of San Luis Potosi by ‘he federals.

While Mr. Vandale bad been in poor health for a number of years he was not con- fined to his home and bed until five Weeks ago.

Bryan May Speak at Chautauqua Ses- * sions. There is what seems to be a strong probability that the people of Putnam nd surrounding towns are going to have an opportunity to hear an ad- dress by William Jennings Bryan at the Chautauqua meetings to be held here. It was announced here Monday that Hamilton Holt of the New York Tndependent, which recently absorbed the Chautauquan, and who has a sum- mer home in Woodstock, is enthustas- tic over the coming of the Chautau- qua meetings to Putnam and that he has promised Dr. Irwin P. McCurdy, who arrangeq for the meetings her to write a personal letter to Secretas Bryay, urging that he come to Put- nam. ' Mr. Bryan is booked to speak for this Chautauqua orzanization dur- ing his vacation and while it has not been definitely promised that the not=d Nebraskan will be here, it is known that every effort is being made to in- duce him to come. Enotid the secre- tary of state accede to the personal appeal of Mr. Holt he will be the lat- ter's guest during his stay in this se tion at Mr. Holt's beautiful country es- tate in Woodstock, . Three times thé support that was sought here to bring the Chautauquans to Putnam has been pledged to the enterprise, 80 its success is fully as- sured, CHASE GIRL FOUND.

Chase, the 13-vear-old Somerville, Mass., girl who disappear- eq from her home last week and set the police of greater Boston on the trail of Frederick W. Darmer, formerly of this city, has been found—and she was not with young Darmer, A Boston paper of Monday after- noon had the following relative tosthe finding of the girl and it seems to bear out many of the claims that Darmer made as_to his not knowing where the glrl went to when she disappeared: A much greater mystery surrounds the finding of Gladys P. Chase, the den street, Dorchester. by her mother and Special Officer Williams. At the home of the girl's sister it was said Gladys was now at the home of her mother. Al the latter home, Mr. Chase admitted that she had seen her daughter, but was unwilling to say where she was now. ¥red Darmer, 23, of Pearl street, Somerville, who, it was alleged, had run awey with the girl, recently wrote to the girl's sister, denving he had anything to do with her disabpearance and offered to assist in finding her.

The annual meeting of the cofpor- ators of the Putnam Savings bank, held in the bank here Monday after- noon, was adjourned without any ac- tion belng taken relative to the re- opening of the institution. The ad- journment wag until July 31. It is un- derstood that there was no discussion as to election of mnew corporators, trustees or officers. & Tt was announced after the meeting that the report of the appraisers who went over the bank's securities a few days ago was read, this announcement not being made by any of the bank's officers, and that the report indicated four courses of action for the bank to | follow as a way out of the troubles that caused it to be closed hy the bank commissioners during the last days of December, 1913, The first course suggested as feas- ible was liquidation, the second mak- ing up of the deficiency of approxi- mately $100000 by the trustees from their personal weaith, which. they arc not obligated to do and such an ac- tion would have to be purely volun- tary: third, the seali of deposits in sufficient ds to offset the defi- | clency: fourth, keeping the bans clased | untit ‘the tnstitution’s earnings from its {investments make up the defietency, | no payments on prineipal or of interest | i8 coming b in be made to depositors mesnwnile.

A feature of the developments of Monday in relation to the bank’s pre- dieament was the announcement, made on reliable authority, fhat there has been a suggestion from several prom- inent citizens that a depositors’ mass meeting be called for the election of a depositors’ protective committee, to be made up of men of high standing, to insist that action favorable to. t! depositors be taken. Whether or not this action will be taken depends upon developments of the next few days, it is stated. Relative to the plan of keeping the bank closed until its earnings are su: ficient to offset the deficiency, it stated that no definite length of time can now be given as sufficient for that purpose. It might take a year, may! a lesser length of time, possibly a longer period As far as could be ascertained hepe Monday the bank commissioners con- | template no immediate action, although { this cannot be stated on their author- fity, | Many depositors who are in need of funds which they have on deposit in the bank were much disappointed over the outcome of the annual meeting Monday, as they had been lookis for- | ward to some definite action that they | had hoped would result in the prompt | resumption of husiness by the bank, if this were possible.
