Locating the Responsibility, - PITTSFIELD, Mass., Sept. 4.—With the excitement which followed the accident to President Roosevelt in this city yesterday in a great measure abated the citizens today ‘were discussing the question of responsi- bility for the occurrence, which on all sides u-nlml I-vlu marred the city’s iy ?Sf ?%;% s & ‘governor leved as only nuiu to the gravity of the offense. It 18 argued also that the Pittsfield Street Rallway company should not have disre- garded the request of the mayor that no cars ghould have been run while the presi- dent was In the olty, It is sald the city government takes this view of the case. At any rate at & meeting last night a commit- ‘tee of investigation was appointed, including members of both branches of the city gov- ernment, with the mayor at the head. In addition to this body, which will deal primarily with yesterday's accident, the common council also appointed a committee to Investigate the question of the speed of the street cars in general and to report con- cerning how it may be regulated. At the House of Mercy this morning it was stated that the condition of D. J. Pratt, driver of the president’s carriage, was satls- factory and that nothing had developed to make his recovery seem less probable than 1t did last night. Less Interest than was generally expected ‘was manifested in the appearance before the district court today of Motorman Euclid Madden and Conductor James Kelly, who had charge of the ear that struck the presi- dent's carriage yesterday. Not more than fifty persons were present. The case was mot even called, and after a conference be- tween counsel for the street rallway men and the court it was agreed to postpone the matter for two weeks. Ball of $5,000 for Madden and $2,500 for Kelly was continued. Former State Repre- setative Turtle, the legal adviser of the Pittsfield Street Rallway company, appeared for the defendants. The presiding judge ‘was Joseph Tucker, president of the street wallway company. Had & hearing been had he probably would have given place to an assoclate. | It 18 believed that two weeks hence an- other postponement will be granted and that the preliminaries and action by the grand jury, if the case should come before it, will take up so much time that actual trial will not be reached before January. The funeral arrangements of Willlam Craig, the president’s guard, who was killed yesterday, have not been completed. ‘The body of Secret Service Agent Cralg left here on the afternoon traln for Chi- ©Ago, accompanied by Hugh Cralg, a brother. No service was held here and no Announcement was made as to a funeral In Chicago. Governor Crane was present ‘when the removal oceurred.

Baldwin has telegraphed ap explanation of the causes of his fallure to reach the pole and the cause of his dispute with Captain Johanssen of the Ameriea, ete., as follows: TROMSOE, Norway, Sept. 4—The public has been deceived by ‘false reports regard- ing the expedition. ~Nearly e has been faithful, and my comrades ought and must have due credit for thelr work in establishing large depots at Camp Ziegler during March, April and May. Some times they had to traverse the e route ten times. " Fitty slelghs were destroyed in thie work. Open sca noar the depot at Teplits bay prevented us from 'roaching Duke of Abruzzi's headquarters, and poor ice condi- tions, .in 1901, prevented us from_establish- ing depots at north of 80 degrees 22 minutes, In this connection the loss of half of our dogs necessitated the postponement of going to the pole. Nothing favored returning by ‘way of Greenland. 1 belleve the record of belng farthest north could have been broken, but it would have exhausted our supplies and destroyed the hope of finally reaching the Sailing Master, Johannsen's become to return e possessio p as da.l with the crew in accordance with his own will would have spolled the expedi- tion's plan if enforced.

Taylor, a prominent landlord of Ardahan, County Galway, for the solution of the present trouble In Ireland, says: ““The Irish land question must be settled Hy the parties interested. The extent of the useful action of the government is limited to providing facllities and giving effect to th settlement.

The com- bination s to be known as the Interna- tional Bank and Trust Company of Amer- ica. The directors of both the merging corporations have signed the agreement. A majority of both the concerna have al- ready signified their approval of the plan informally, and a meeting of stockholders to give formal approval of the merger will be held within the next three weeks. It is expected that the combination will be- | come eftective about October 1. Both the Mexican Trust Company bank and the Corporation Trust company have broad charters under the laws of Delaware. The new company's charter will embrace the features of both of them. Branches of the Mexican Trust Company bank are estab- lished in several Mexican cities as fol- lows: Guadalajara, Pachuca, Monterey, Tampico, Aguas, Colientes, San Luls Po- tosi and Pueblo. It also has agencies In New York and Chicago. Will Utilise Present Branches. The new company will utillze the branches already established and it is planned to establish branches at sixteen leading cities in Mexico. Branches are to be located also in Havana, Buenos Ayres, Rio Janeiro, Valparaiso and other South American and Central American cities as the opportunity develops. The general clearing house for the vari- ous parts of the corporation will be lo- cated in New York. The company will not do & local banking business, but its special effort will be to facilitate the remittance of exchange between cities of the two countries. Efforts will be made to divert to New York the very large amount of Latin-American exchange that now goes to London, Berlin and Paris. W. H. Hunt, who was the organizer and is the president of the Mexican Trust com- pany bank, will be the president of the new corporation.

The bank opened its prin- cipal offices In the City of Mexico on June 18, 1901, Semor Don Ignaclo De La Torre, one of the foremost capitalists of Mexico and son-in-law of President Diaz, became one of the directors of the institution. The Corporation Trust company ls allled with another corporation, whose title is the Corporation Trust company of Delaware. The former institution was the first cor- poration created under the present cor- poration laws of the state of Delaware. Purpose and Scope. In regard to the comsolidation, W. H. Hunt said: “The Mexican Trust company was the first banking institution to be organized n the United States for the exe- cutfon of an exclusively foreign business It was among the first American institu- tions to establish a system of branch banks. Soon after opening our business in Mexico we realized that the banking business in that country was in Its infancy, and was susceptible to development to a remarkable extent. The condition of our bank at the end of the first year clearly demonstrated the practicabllity and profit of international banks with New York us a ocenter. The policy of our bank has been In thorough harmony with the financial methods of the United States and it has conducted its sys- tem of banks in Mexico in accord with the requirements of that government. No Longer to Go Abroad. “It is & weil known fact that up to very recently there was almost no banking com- bination between the Latin American toun- tries and the United States, but our manu- facturers are rapldly developing a Pan- American trade, although our meth-ds ha been hampered by the inadequacy of inter- national banking arrangements We are convinced that New York is to be the fu- ture financlal center of the world. It s preposterous that the settlement of trade balances between American countries skould continue through the banks of Burope. The American banking system must be developed in foreign countries. It will be our pur- pose to afford a means by which American manufacturers and exporters may ettle their balances through banks pledged to American Interests, with New York City as the clearing house. The increase of our capital to $10,000,000 will provide means for the expansion of our business. We shall expect to do not only a banking pusiness, but to afford our assistance in the bullding up of those American countries whose nat- | ural resources are so well known but hith- erto have lacked the organized capital neces- sary for their greatest development.” ENGINEER OWENS IS KILLED ru Pacific Ralls Spread in Mon- tana, Ditehing the Overland Passe: MISSOULA, Mont., Sept. 4.—Overland pas- songer train No. 3 on the Northern Pacific, which left Minneapolls Monday night, was wrecked at Trout Creek station on the 1daho mountain line today.

Admiral Higginson's maneuver tonight was an excellent one and brought out the finest points of the game of war. He came down upon the forts in two sections. The crulsers were sent ahead with the apparent purpose of having the fire soncentrated upon them. He then crept up jwith his battle- ships and opened fire w:lftln purpose of crumbling the fort to plechs. It was at 10:05 tonight that a genmeral alarm rang out over Fort Wright and all the troops were called to arms. At that hour search light No. 5 picked up the crulser Brooklyn as it was speediig to the west- ward toward the race. Ati¥irst it was sup- posed that the crulser on its way to New York for repairs, t came so close to the Island that a wi shot was fired, and to the surprise of fMcer it replied vigorously.

At 11:15 the ten-inch implacement an- nounced that the ships had anchored five miles off the island to the, westward. The second rellef was hurriedly recalled five minutes later, At midnight Forts Terry and Michle were firing an occasional shot With their long range guns. The first shot was fired at 10 o'clock from a ten-inch and the order to cease firing was given at 11:15. The ships were lnereiore wider ai i firs for exactly one hour and five minutes.

ONLY BARE WALLS OF BUILDING LEFT Detalls of Disappearance of Charles nd Disclosures Followed Investiga- tion of His Affairs. (From a Staft Correspondent.) TECUMSEH, Neb., Sept. 4.—(Special.)— Poor judgment, recklessness in the invest- ment of funds, then diseipation and finally embezzlement and disappearance, all on the part of the trusted cashier and sole man- ager, Charles M. Chamberlain, were the combined causes of the financial wreck of the Chamberlain banking house of this city. A few days ago this was supposedly one of the strongest Institutions in the community. The people generally thought Chamberiain was square and they gave him their confidence and their money, and both were manipulated by the shrewd banker in a manner which shows now that he was a master in the art of deception. It is impossible for those now in chary of the bank to estimate safely what per- centage of the deposits will be pald. From all that has been learned thus far, how- ever, It would be conservative to say that the bank will not pay over 60 per cent. The dividends may amount to a trifie more than that, but will probably be much I Today the Chamberiain banking house stands about as does a bullding which bas been gutted by fire. The walls remain and here and there a pillar or some part ot the structure Is found intact, but the greater part of the interior ls Titerally cleaned out. The value of the mass of notes left in the bank, showing $80,000 on their face, is problematic. In the pile a securities that are long past due, some that have been paid off and many that are worthless. People Know Very Little. Comparatively little is known by the people of Tecumseh regarding the actual condition of the bank. ‘They know thmi the institution is closed and that Cashler Chamberlain has disappeared, but us to the state of the funds they are almost as far in the dark as they were before the fallure. Little crowds of depositors and creditors gather at the street corners and in the hotels and discuss the situation, but they are able merely to surmise and guess at random. This morning a rumor went fly~ ing wildly through thé town that Mr. Blank of a few miles distant is @ loser to the ex- tent of $40,000. On the heels of was sald thul a telogram had beets rece from Chamberlaln announcing that would return and pay all depositors fn tull. The former had no foundation in fact and the latter is conceded uniikely. These telegrams have been recelved since the cashler of the bank disappeared: CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—8. M. True, Tecum- seh, Neb.: H:\e curities, “Am’ on way east to secure funds, CHARLES M. CHAHEERLAIN CHICAGO, 5» 2.~ True, Tecurn- seh, Neb.: Charlle wmplelelfi prostrated at deliiy obtaining funds return and 1 it settle with all depositors, oo, v, The latter telegram came to Tecumseh Tuesday night, but it was not at that time made public. Some if Its contents became known, however, and the news spread rap- idly that Chamberlain was coming home to settle all accounts. The rumor was revived this morning, but is not belleyed by those who are at all cognizant of the bank's af- fairs. Mr. True, to whom the messages were dlrected, is the bookkeeper of the in- stitution. Other Institutions Closed. The Chamberlain banking house of Vesta and the Chamberlain banking house of Graf, which were owned by the Tecumseh institu- tion, were closed by order of the State Bank- ing board, but it is probable both will pay all of their depositors im full. The deposits in the bank at Graf Amounted to approxi- mately $18,000. The institution has $15,000 of good notes, besides a @eposit of $7,600 in the bank here. The Accounts in the bank at Vesta were smaller, but about as secure as those in the bank of Graf, Bank Examiner W. D. Hartwell is tem- porarily in charge of the Imstitution he pending the appointment of & receiver, He is making a thorough {nvestigation, but has not yet determined the extent of the loss that will be tained through the masipu- lation of the bank's affairs. New deals come to the surface every day and emch serves to illustrate more plainly the bold- ness of the operator. Mr. Hartwell ex- pects to compls his report within the next few days and will then submit it to the State Banking board at Lincols, fol- lowing which a receiver will be appointed. Cashier Chamberlain departed on Mon- day, August 25, leaving fot only the bank and his creditors, but his family as well. Mrs. Chamberlain was invalld at the time, and her condition has grown rapidly worse since her husband's departure. home they occupy is mortgaged, but it is generally belleved that they wers otherwise provided for. When ambe Disappenred. Chamberlain told the clerk in the bank that he was off on & little trip to close up a private deal, Intimating that he would be home in the evening. On Tuesday the clerk began sending telegrams to various places for information regarding the cashier. He directed these to the places he thought Chamberlain would most likely vis't. The cashier evidently learned of the investiga tion that was being made, for on Wedsdes- day night the first telegram was recelved. The bank had been running low in cash and exchange. The clerk was (he sole persun in charge, and he was confronted by & se- rious problem. He knew there was not enough money in the vault to keep the bank going much longer, but he (hought after recelving the telegram that Chambetlain would dispose of some of the securities on the following day—Thursday—and telegraph a credit for the amount of money raised. He proceeded upon the theory that Cham- berlatn had been unable to dispose of the securities in Obicago, but that kaowing the condition of the bank would make the neces- sary negotistions the next day and come promptly to the rescue. He knew the cash- ier could deposit money in any eastern bank, subject to the draft of the bank here. and this is the course he thought Cham- berlain would take. The next day was an uneasy ome for the clerk in the bank. He remalned at bis post, paying and receiving
