Chicago, Aug. 1. Directors of the
Michigan Avenue Trust company,
the bank wrecked by Warren G.
Spurgin, its fugitive president,, to
day filed a petition in bankruptcy
and the federal court appointed
Hugh V. Keane as receiver. At the
same time the Central Trust com
pany of Illinois was made receiver
for the Warren Oil company, one of
Spurgin's concerns.
Prospects now are bright for the
depositors and it is believed the bank
will be rehabilitated and will pay
dollar for dollar. The Illinois laws
hold that directors and stockholders
of a bank should keep themselves
informed as to its operations and
that they are responsible at all times
for the acts of its officials. Inas
much as the bank accepted deposits
after it was certain it would fail,
the stockholders become liable un
der this law. It is estimated that it
will require $1,500,000 to fill the gap
left by .Spurgin, but the bank can
readily be made a paying institu
tion. Fresh evidence came out today,
showing that Spurgin was a high
stepper around the north side caba
rets. Miss Jeannette Bayer, a dancer
at the Marigold Gardens, told .how
Spurgin had sent her flowers and
candy. "He had a thirst for mixed
drinks, music, song and dance and
was an all around good fellow," said
Miss Bayer.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1. A squadron
of "enemy" air marauders theoretical
ly destroyed Philadelphia at noon
today and thus opened the way for
an invasion by land. New York and
other strategic points had been de
stroyed previously, in the mimic
warfare that was inaugurated to dem
onstrate the effectiveness of airplanes
as supeririachines of destruction.
Led by Brig, Gen. William
Mitchell, the airmen, 16 in number,
arrived over the center of the city
at 11:30. From a height of 1,500
feet they "demolished" the city hall,
postoffice, Bourse, shipbuilding
plants along the Delaware and im
portant manufactories in the mill dis
trict. Then, turning their attention
to League Island, they theoretical
ly blew , the navy yard out of the
harbor. .
' At 12:30 a lone plane buzzed over'
the city and reported to the main
squadron that Philadelphia was in
ruins.
J. Thirty minutes after the, attack
started, the 'same planes were on
their way to Wilmington, Baltimore
and the LTnited States naval academy
at Annapolis. -
The prediction that John D. Rockefeller, who recently celebrated his
82d birthday, will live to be 100 years old was made in Ceveland the other
day by Dr. H. F. Bigger, his physician and lifelong friend. The doctor,
who is also 82, looks forward to a golf match with the oil king when both
have rounded the century mark;
Dr. Bigger said: "Mr. Rockefeller is in better health now than many
a man of 50. Anyone who follows his sensible way of living can live to
be a centenarian. Mr. Rockefeller once had indigestion, but he does not
suffer from it now. He can eat anything, but he observes One of theprime
laws of health and eats moderately. Often I have heard him remark, as
he arose from the dinner table, 'I could have eaten more.' His good sense
tells him that moderation in diet is a prerequisite of endurance," To Dr.
Bigger is given, the credit for prolonging the life of the .world's richest man.

England traditions had played in de
velopment of the nation. He also
took occasion to deplore the com
mon tendency to concentrate gov
ernmental authority in Wasiiington,
and to reaffirm his faith in religion
as an essential element of good gov
ernment.
The president said in part:
"It is not too. much to say that the
three centuries which have passed
since men of our race came Jiere to
found a new state have been the. most
momentous and the most pregnant in
all the-progress of human kind.
Seat of Democracy,
"To this and the Virginia shore
were transplanted the seed? of ' rep
resentative democracy, the new ideals
of nationality through association
and representation and there has de
veloped seemingly the most ' de
pendable form of popular government
ever witnessed in the world.
"Whetner we reflect on the re
straints upon freedom which - the
fathers imposed, or measure the
broader liberty under the law of to
day, here began the reign of de
pendable public opinion which un
failingly is the law of higher civil
ization. '
"No one will ever dispute the large
part New England played in the
rearing of , new standards of free
dom. The early struggles here were
contemporaneous with the making of
modern British constitutionalism and
the new world beacon was an in
centive and an inspiration across the
sea and today, old -world and ( new;
join in rejoicing at the ends achieved.
The beginninir of the American revo- I
lution may fairly be traced back the
larger part of a century from the
date we commonly fixed for it to
the great town meeting in the Old
South Church, to which was sub
mitted the question whether the
colony would assent to the charter re
organization that the king demanded.
Planted Political Freedom.
"If the idea of rel'gious freedom
had little to hope for from the effort
of the stern old fathers to set up
theocracy in New England the ideal
of political freedom found here a
particularly fertile soil in which to
cerminate,
The clash between a theocratic
tvrannv on this side and a political
tyranny on the other resulted in the
destruction of both, to the vast

Sioux Falls; S. D., Aug. 1. (Spe

The three men drove an automo

"Hand of men alone did not build
what was founded here; it was but
the visible sign, the human symbol of
a oumose. which we may not under
stand, but for whose beneficence all
men must give tribute of praise and
voice undying gratitude.
"The English speaking race had
hardly established itself in true
character as the foremost exponent
of liberal institutions when tt began
to distribute itself among the wilder
nesses of the earth. It has carried
its ideals wherever it has set its
standard. It has won recognition of
these ideals as the basis of social con
duct, of community relations
throughout the world. Its work is
not finished, but, pray God, it has
come triumphantly through its de
eal. It comes forth
I from that test nerved and heartened
for further tasks; confident, assured,
reliant. None question either its place
or its right of leadership; few doubt
its destiny to establish, under that
divine guidance which it has ever
recognized the splendid structure of
human brotherhood in peace and un
derstanding. Prevent 'Centralization.
"Just as the Pilgrims had a prac
tical mind for material things amid
effective pursuit of their higher ideals,
so must we with our inheritance.
"Just as these fathers drew to
gether toward ample -authority to
make the nation and still preserve
the freedom of those who compose
it, so must we guard against the
supreme centralisation of power at
home and the superstate for the
world. - More, we must combat the
menace' in the growing" assumption
that the state must support the peo
ple, for just government is merely
the guaranty to the people of the
right and opportunity of that people
to support themselves.1 The one out
standing danger of today is the ten
dency to turn to Washington for
the things which are the tasks or the
duties of the 48 commonwealths
which constitute the nation. Having
wrought the nation as the central
power of preservation and defense,
let us prserve it so.
Here was the early dedication to
religious liberty and political free
dom. It was a sublime gift to pos
terity. We cannot better express our
reverence to.day 'than by sweeping
aside the errors, the failures, the
disappointments, the betrayals of our
day and plant here for all America
and all the world the standards of
highest justice and real human
brotherhood. This would add to the
volume of rejoicing on earth and
give echo to the heavens of the
nobler aspirations of united man
kind. It would dim no torch of lib
erty which was lighted here, but
would set the world aglow with new
hopes, new confidence and new
exultation."
Harding Gives Medals

Plymouth, Aug. 1. Thirty Poles,
Italian and Portuguese boys and
girls received silver medals from the

New Bedford for facility in reading
and understanding the English lan

matter of public policy to initiate
reading contests for children of the
foreign born. A Chinese boy won
a medal one year.

Mrs. Harrison . Kept in Soli
tary Confinement Six Days;
Release of All Prisoners
Expected Soon. '
By The Auoeialrd l'rm
Riga, Aug. 1. Release of all
American prisoners in Russia may
be expected within a few days, ac
cording to Mrs. Marguerite E. Har
rison of Baltimore, who spent many
months in prison at Moscow, but
who was released and came here
tindor the protection of Senator
France of Maryland. She was in
formed before leaving Moscow that
all would be out soon.
Mrs. Harrison pictured her life in
prison as differing from sketches of
her sufferings drawn by travelers.
She was thin and frail, and her re
cital was interrupted occasionally by
a deep cough.
I was first arrested April 4, lyU,
two months after I arrived in Rus
sia," she said. "I was detained two
aays for cross-examination, then was
released and for six months, was
permitted to work unmolested in
Moscow.
Re-Arrested in October.
"In October I was agaiu arrested
by order of the soviet inquisition. I
was charged with living come to
Russia without permission, with hav
ing supplied food illegally to Ameri
can and British prisoners and with
having been in communication with
people hostile to the government
all of which was true. The examin
ers were polite, but they made me
realize the seriousness of my posi
tion. .
"Then I was put in solitary con
finement six days in a room like a
small single room of a hotel. At no
time was I in a dungeon. I was
removed on my own request, to a
general room with the occupants
varying from seven to 12, where I
spent nearly eight months. This
building Was an old rooming house;
it was primarily used for detention
only, and the physical discomforts
there were due to this fact.
. Allowed Food Packages.
"The rations were as good or bet
ter than in the soviet dining room
outside, but I, like the others, lost
weight, pood packages from outside
were permitted weekly and in these
I shared intermittently.
There were periods of' several
weeks when I got nothing from the
outside.
"I had one more hearing in No
vember which was without result.
At intervals after January 1, I was
informed that there were prospects
of mv release if the American gov
ernment demanded it, on the basis of
trade negotiations or in exchange
for communist prisoners in Amer
ica. "On June 6, by order of the prison
physician, I . was removed to the
hospital in a better equipped prison,
especially for women, where I re
mained until released, receiving ev
ery care and attention. The first
word of immediate prospect of my
relase came through Senator France,
who called on me July 23, and I
was finally freed and taken to a rail
way station."

"Meantime, Will Hahn, a son of

and no doubt, inherited his father's
financial aims without his caution.
"In the last few years the reports
show young Hahn plunged into land
speculations which failed to material
ize profitably.
At Mercy of Rusher.
"Records and reports received here
indicate that the brother of Rusher's
invalid wife and son of the man who
made him the biggest man in Oc
tavia put himself at the mercy of
Rusher.
"And Rusher, whether right or
wrong, heeded the plea, began keep

juggling funds in an endeavor to put
young Hahn on his feet.

Redfield. S. D.. Aug. 1. (Special.)
After several unsuccessful efforts
to get a satisfactory bid on a new
building for the state school and
home in this city, another series of
bids will be opened Tuesday, August
2. If any contractor bids within the
amount available for the erection of

cover the needs of the institution
and yet be within the amount of
funds available. The last legislature
renewed the appropriation.'
A series or bids were '.opened as

otter was satisfactory, so the date

Washington, Aug. 1. Except for

America business conditions were
pictured as depressed during July in
the reports of economic conditions
from its trade representatives made
public today by the bureau of for

eign competition to American com
mercial activity was reported strong,
particularly from the Germans and

per cent to 75 per cent less than
those on American commodities
were being quoted, it was said, and
numbers of American concerns were
closing their South American

imports were decreasing and ex

were declining, Commercial Attache

Imports from the United States,
he added, were still showing a

goods except some necessities.
There were few salesmen from the
United States in Argentina, he said,
and many American branch houses
have gone into liquidation and the
American goods that had been con
gesting the customs house were be

to the United States. Port conges
tion was much improved, he report
