Private Bank Crashes

Another private bank has closed its doors in Chicago and hundreds of Russian and Polish

women are mourning the loss of deposits ranging

from $20,000 to $50,000. A few weeks ago, the owner of a private bank absconded from Chicago leaving hundreds of aliens to wonder if America

offers no protection for their thrift and economy.

The crooked work connected with private banks in Chicago is a disgrace to that city and to

Illinois. Bankers of Chicago deplore the situation, saying that discredit is thrown upon the banking business by the loose laws of Illinois which permit the operation of private banks without close supervision by the authorities. The time is here when the Illinois legislature must pass a law to protect the savings of its citizens. ' The alien problem is a big one in this country. It is engaging the best thought of social workers. Little progress will be made in the Americanization of these men and women until they are assured that the country really protects their interests. From the time an alien lands on this

shore until he has mastered our customs and language he is at the mercy of sharks and crooks, who overcharge him, sell him into ; industrial bondage, steal his savings, teach him corruption at the polls, and create in him such a feeling of distrust for our institutions that he never can feel at home in this country. If the strong arm of the law would swoop down on some of the crooks that own private banks for the exploitation of ignorant foreigners, the country would be benefited immensely. What is the use of an alien saving his money and depositing it in banks, if dishonest men who are despised and loathed by legitimate bankers can steal it at will?

The Death Penalty Confidence in capital punishment has received a severe jolt in New York recently. A few days ago, Governor Whitman granted a stay of execution to Thomas Bambrick, convicted of slaying a policeman. The Stielow case, in which the convicted man was saved from the death chair by the confession of the murderer shortly before the death hour, is stiU fresh in the minds of the public. The people of New York must be wondering what kind of court procedure is in vogue in their state. If two men, innocent of a crime, escape death by only a few hours, it seems to indicate

that the police authorities and the prosecutors of that state have tendencies that ought be curbed at once. Human life is too precious, to be jeopardized by over-zealous desire to convict.

He lunged forward, but Blaine, with a strength of whlcu the Doctor would not a moment before have thought he possessed, grasped the ex-rubber and flung him backward, advancing Into the hall at the same time, while his

two operatives and the Doctor crowd

ed in behind him. "Al" staggered, regained his balance and came on in a blind rush, bull neck lowered, long, monkey-like arms taunt and rigid for the first blow. Blaine set himself to meet It, but it was never delivered. At that instant the whining roar of a high-powered car, unmuffled, sounded in all their ears, and a second machine drew up at the Bteps. Its single passenger flung himself out and bounded up to the door. "What in h 1 does this mean?", he bellowed. "Didn't you hear my horn?" He stoppeed abruptly In sheer amazement, for Blaine had turned, with beaming face and outstretched hand. "Mac Alarney'.' he exclaimed. "Thank the Lord you've come! This thickskulled boob wouldn't give me time for a word, and every minute is precious! Come where I can talk to you, quick!" Then, as If catching sight of the car in which Mac Alarney had come, for the first time his eyes widened and he seemed struggling to suppress an outblrst of mirth. "Great guns! Is that your car, yours? Do you mean to tell me it was you I was playing with, back there on the road? When I flashed the light in your face I was sure you were Donnelley!" As he uttered the name of the Chief of Police, Mac Alarney Involuntarily stepped backward, and a wave of startled apprehension swept the amazement from his face, to be succeeded in turn by the primitive craftiness of the brute instinct on guard. , "And what may you be wanting here, Mr. Blaine? he demanded, war

ily, i "To beat the police to it!" Blaine j

replied in a gruff whisper, adding as he jerked his thumb in the direction of the waiting Al. "Get rid of him! We haven't got. a minute, I tell you!" "The police!" repeated the other man, sharply. "Sure, I passed two cars full of plain-clothes bulls, with an ambulance trailing them! You can go now, Al." Without giving the burly proprietor of the retreat time to discover him for himself. Blaine pulled the astonished Doctor forward. "Here's Doctor Alwyn, whom you brought here last night. The police trailed you, and got his number, but fortunately when they began to question him, he smelled a rat in the whole business and came to me. They told him a man named Paddington had double-crossed you, but of course I knew that was all rot, the minute I'd doped it out. You've got a fortune under your roof this minute, and you don't know it, Mac! That's the best joke of all! You're entertaining an angel unawares!" "Say, what're you gettln at, Mr.

Blaine?" Mac Alarney's brows drew close together, and he stared levelly from beneath them at the detective's exultant face. "That young man with the fractured skull in the corner room upstairs the one you brought Doctor Alwyn to attend last night when you know who he is you're going up in the air! I don't know who brought him here, or what flim-flam line of talk they gave you, but it's a wonder you haven't guessed from the start who he was, with the papers full of it for days! Of course they must have given you a lot of money to get him well, and hush it all up. when you were able to pay the Doctor, here, five thousand dollars, but whatever they paid, it's a drop in the bucket-compared to the reward they expected toiget. Mac. it's Ramon Hamilton yOu've got upstairs!" Blaine stepped rack himself, as if the better to observe th effect of what ho manifestly seempcl to believe would be astourtling news, ard clumsily and cautiously the other tried to

play up to his lead. "Ramon Hamilton!" he echoed. "You're crazy, Blaine! You don't know what you're talking about!" "You'd better believe I do! See this photograph?" He held the tiny thumbnail picture before Mac Alarney's amazed eyes. "The Doctor took it last night, at the bedside of the young man upstairs, when you thought he was feeling his pulse. That watch of his was in reality a camera." With a rear, the burly man turned upon the erect, unshrinking figure of the gray-haired doctor, but Blaine halted him. "Not so fast, Mac. If it hadn't been for him, you'd be in the hands of the police now, remember, and they've only been waiting to get something on you, as you know. You can't blame Doctor Alwyn for being suspicious, after all the mysterious fuss you made bringing' him here. I know Ramon Hamilton well, and I recognized his face the instant it was handed to me! I'm on the case, myself Miss Lawton, the girl he's going to marry engaged me. I might have come and tried to take him away from you, so as to cop all the reward myself, but as it is, we'll split fifty-fifty unless

the police get here while we're-wasting time talking! Man, don't you see

how you've been done?" "You can bet your life I do that is, if the young man I've got upstairs is the guy you think he is," he added, in

an afterthought of cautious self-pro

tection. The acid of the hint that Pad

dington had betrayed him to the po

lice had burned deep, however, as Blaine had anticipated, and he walked blindly into the snare laid for him. "I'll tell you all about how he come to be here, later, and I'll fix them that tried to pull the wool over my eyes! Now, for the love of Heaven, Mr. Blaine, tell me what to do with him before the bulls come! Thank God, they can search the rest of the place, and welcome I've got nothln here but a half-dozen souses, and two lightweights, training."

"That's all right! You're safe if we can get him away without loss of time. That ambulance you saw don't belong to the police; it's mine. I saw them first away back in the outskirts of the city, and I ordered it to drop behind and take the short cut up through Wheelbarrow Lane. It's waiting now under the clump of elms by the brook, up the road a little you know the spot! Bring him down and we'll take him there in my car. You come too, of course, and Al, and help load him into the ambulance. Then Al can come back, if you don't want to trust him, and you on with us, back to the city." To Be Continued.

SLEEP LONG AFTER FIGHT

BY FREDERICK PALMER WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE FIELD, SepL 22. (Via London, Sept. 22) Some of the best stories of the battle are told only after some battalions which have been In a big attack are out of the line. Then after they have slept they recall, vivid instances in the midst of chances and struggles for positions they live over again , in their sleepless nights and days when they faced death in their grapple with the foe. Laughable and ridiculous the stories are mixed with the tragic. Today your correspondent has been visiting the Canadian troops after thsir storming of Courcellette. These men, their eyes blinking after sleeping the clock around, had taken more

than their own number of prisoners in their swift rush through the village. The Germans thought that the attack was over.. They did not anticipate a "second charge which came just before dusk. They.were in their deep dugouts taking cover from a sudden burst of shell fire when as the shell fire lifted the Canadians were at their doors. A battalion which took the eastern end of the village had gotten up only just in time to deploy for the attack before the minute set for them to rush across the open.

OR THE past eight years the demand for Westcott Motor Cars has exceeded

the production, although the Westcott price has advanced year by year. Seventy per cent of all Westcott Cars have been purchased by persons who have previously owned automobiles and who presumably knew values. During recent years an ever-increasing proportion of our output has been claimed by owners of Westcotts of earlier models. . This discriminating recognition of basic motor car values has been the inspiration in creating the new Westcott of the Seventeen Series a car of light-weight tendency that embodies every essential of efficiency and refinement without the costly non-essentials that increase first cost and impose a constant overload of operating expense. Although the new Westcott does, as a matter of course, every "stunt" that any "sensational" car is advertised to do, it is not a freakish car but a practical, serviceable, road-worthy automobile of superb proportions and with endurance built into every part. In beauty, in refinement, in luxury, in spaciousness, comfort, convenience, safety and distinctive personality, the new Westcott leaves nothing to be desired. In these cars not one little detail has been sacrificed on the altar of frenzied manufacturing. More has been put into them than has been saved by overhead economies resulting from greatly increased production. It is for these reasons that we are able confidently to invite the prospective purchaser to compare the new Westcott, point by point, not only with cars similarly priced, but more particularly with automobiles that are universally accepted as standards of design, engineering and construction.
