DEPOSITORS TO GET MONEY Asset! of Green Mountain Bank Suffi , crrnt to Pay Up in Full. 60ME QUEER FINANdEBINO Railroads Flad Tfcemslva Skort af Operators to Com pi r wltk 711 a. Hoar Law Ire Horg Tairrat ras ta Flood Dri Molars. (From Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, Feb. 2-(Ppeclal.) A-t tha state auditor's office today, It was stated that the depositors of the Orern Mountain Savings bank would be paid In full and that the Omaha people who owned and started the hank had only suc-r1-d In letting away with the capital took and with borrowtna 18,500 with the $10,000 of stock as collateral security. It swms to be confirmed now that the scheme wns one of "kiting drafts." Authority for the statement that the de positors will be paid In full Is based on the fact that Cashier St. Clair of a big Marahalltown bank, went over the bills receivable with Mr. Roberta of the bank ing department of the state auditor's office, and pronounced the bulk of It good. Oreen Mountain Is but a short dlstatnce from MHrshslltown. Cashier St Clair knew practically all the signers of the notes and recognised their signatures, and offered to take the notes without recourse. There la enough of this paper which he pronounced good to pay all the depositors. Dr. McDalrmled of Omaha and the others Interested with him In the bank were In terested In other banks In Iowa. There la a suspicion now that the Green Mountain bank was really started without capital. That la, the money to start It was secured by drawing a draft on one of ' the other banks and then drawing on still another bnnk to cove, that, and so on. The. books of the bank seem to show that McDalrmled, E. I Collins and Miss Helen J. Kdwarda, all of Omaha, loaned themselves from the bank funds to the amounta they had put up as capital stock, and deposited sight drafts to cover the nans. They then deposited other sight drafts with the banka drawn on, and so s on. One of these drafts drawn on a New York party, was protested, and this broke the chain and c'aused trouole. The stock of the bank was deposited al!h the Black Hawk National at Water loo, and $4,600 borrowed on It. Wreck at Mora.

Mle BALKAN SITUATION ACUTE British Foreign Minister Fears it Will Break Concert of Powers. AFFAIR AT CRITICAL STAGE Lord and Commons Informed that Diplomatic Tension Makes Oat look Anrthlnc Bat Cheerful. IjONTJON, Feb. K. The Macedonian dif ficulty Is In both houses ot Parliament tonight Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, made a statement In the House of Commons on this subject, and Ixird Fltimaurlee, under secretary of for eign affairs, did likewise In the House of Lords, the gist of both statement being that because of the porte' obduracy, mat ter had reached a critical pass, that the government deprecated any Isolated action, but was doing Its utmost to preserve the concert of powers and press Turkey to an acceptance of the reform. Sir Edward Grey said that In discussing the Macedonian question the government was not far from the Turkish question, which more than once had led to a Euro pean war. They were rapidly nearlng a point, he said, where the concert of power must either Justify or stultify Itself, and If the concert disapproved It was Impossi ble to foretell what misunderstanding might arise. If Macedonia continued to be neglected, he added, a a note of warn ing, It must sooner or later provoke a catastrophe. Sir Edward suggested that If a Turkish governor were appointed for a term of years and he was a man whose capacity and character were recognised and ac cepted by the power, the whole question might be solved. Lord Fltsmaurlce, who promised that the government shortly would make sugges tions that It considered necessary to meet the existing situation, said that he re gretted that h had no cheerful news to Impart for the present. A very critical stage had been reached, he said, In both the local affairs of Macedonia and In the diplomatic entente known a the concert of Europe. The attitude of Turkey gave cause for great anxiety and the foreign office felt it necessary to ask themselve whether the time had arrived to appoint Christian governor of Macedonia. , With regard to the Austrian project for the construction of a branch railroad line through Turkish territory, to connect Vienna with Salonlkl. he aald that the treaty of Berlin gave Austria the right to occupy and build such a road. In conclusion he added that the bright spot In the situation was that the powers displayed less readiness than formerly to minimize the dangers of the' Macedonian question.

SOUTH OMAHA, Feb. 23,-To the Editor of The Bee: In a Washington dispatch, Senator Ankeny la described as being "thrown Into a flurry of excitement" by the utterances of Senator Fulton and old dopey Joe Cannon at Friday evening's din ner. Subsequent statements In tho dispatch, to the effect that Ankeny Is a candidate tor re-election and fears the effect of the In telligence of hi being found In such dis reputable company when It reaches the state of Washington will result In "harden ing" his chances of re-election, at least prove the senator to be a man of some discernment. Unfortunately, we who admire and- appre ciate the president most, hae reluctantly been compelled to accept his disavowal of a further candidacy as final. I venture the statement, however, that If such a fortunate contingency as his consent to again run were possible, then I say that every time a sycophantic trust lickspittle of the Joe Cannon type had the effrontery to stand up and release a bunch of such vituperation against Mr. P.ocsevelt, It would result In making the latter 600.000 popular votes. If, Indeed, there were still that num ber of voter left In the country who had not already made up their minds to cast their ballot that way. J. K. MILIKEN. Let Loral Repablicana Get Busy. OMAHA.

TUB AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Important Series of Tests for Tuber culosis in Cattle. STATE UNIVERSITY IN CHARGE W. Wallrrork, Head Cattle Buyer for Omaha rneltltio; Com puny Transferred to Denver as Manager of 1'lant. An Important confirmative test for the detection cf tuberculosis In cattle was conducted at Swift nnd Company.s pack ing plant yesterday. The work was under the direction of Dr. Peterson of the State University School of Agriculture. The ob ject sought was to demonstrate beyond a a possible doubt the Infallibility of the test, which Is to be employed throughout the state under the direction of State Vet erinarian McKlm for the purpose of detect ing; tuberculosis In live cattle in douhtful cases. This test consists o Injecting a drug known as tubercullne in the animal. If tuberculosis Is present the temperature of the animal rises above normal. If not, tho animal Is pronounced free. To confirm the accuracy of the test, twelve cattle which had been tested and pronounced tubercular were shipped to South Omaha for slaughter and subjected to a careful test by the government cx perta on Swift's killing beda. In this case the three doctors, Shaw, McClure and Harrold, agreed In every case and all the animals were condemned. This will be considered ample confirma tion of tho value of the tubercullne teat. It was one of the most exhaustive and careful tests for this disease which has been conducted. It Is thought with this Index of the condition of animals It will be possible for inspector to examine alt herds, and thus separate tubercular cattle from the rest, and eventually stamp the disease out. At all events, tubercular cattle can be kept out of the market In this manner. If the disease Is communi cated only from animal to animal and Is not contracted from floating spoors in the air this simple test will be of great value In stamping out the disease. According to physiciuns, human beings contract a very large per cent of the cases of tuberculosis from tubercular milk. For this reason the authorities are particularly anxious to stamp it out among the herd of dairy cattle. It has been proven that the dis ease is much more rare in the west than In the east. Cows on the open range are rarely afflicted. Confused Over Terminal Tax. The city clerk Is much exercised at present over the requirements of the stat ute providing for terminal taxation of the railroads and similar corporations which have holdings In the city. He has dis covered some confusion In the paragraphs. One of these seems to require that the city ahull furntBh a blank ttx schedule to the commissioner before March 1 of each year. Another section seems to require the rail road companies to furnish a list of all taxable property to the city assessor. The city attorney will be asked to give an opinion on the requirement at an early date, so that the schedule may be pre pared before March 1. Wall work Geta Promotion. J. W.
