STRIKING TAILORS WINNING.

Some Manufacturers Have Acoeeded to the

Demands of the Men-

New York, May 23.—No meetings were held at the headquarters of the striking Tailors today and quier. prevailed there. Btrike Leader Schocnfeld said that the executive board of the tailors had held a meeting and had decided to give permission from tomororw on to the strikers to make settlements with the manufacturers. In all cases th© agreements signed must provide for only flfty-nine hours of work weekly the manufacturers must guarantee the pay of the employes, who must be paid weekly, and an increase of 15 per cent over last year's scale must be granted. He said that oue manufacturer who employed 250 persons would reopen his shop on Tuesday under that agreement and that several others had promised to accede to the demands of the. strikers asd would also open Tuesday.

The Lithuanian tailors, numbering about 1,200, will strike tomorrow. That will make the total riximber of strikers about. 21,000. Several shops attempted to start today, but the workmen did not appear.

ujider the national banking law*. Every one is asking wluit Johnson did

with the money, but he has. not seen fit to make a statement. The claim that he was attempting to liquidate the insolvency of his father to the extent of $200,000 may account for his motive, but no one' is able to understand how it would take $600.000 to pay $200,000. His father died in 1891 and owed much on account of speculations in pork and otherwise. It is believed that the son fell into the ways of his father ?ndi sent good money after the bad in specula tions on the Chicago board of trade. Had luck been with him he would have paid oat. but he had no better luck than the iria-i jority of blind speculators who put up heir money against the trained gamblers oii the board of trade.

From what is now known of Johnsonfs affairs, in addition to the $300,000 which-13 shown by ^the books of the bank, there is at least $200,000 obligations outstandings which bear his personal indorsement alone land there is a considerable amount, which

is totally unsecured, the victims not having even the acknowledgment of the Jebtf. The sum of such obligations may amount to' double the amount mentioned, which would bring the grand total of the shortage past the seven-hundred-thousand-dollar mark. This portion of the matter is but partly understood by the bank examiner, and has^ nothing to do with the condition of the bank itself, as it is a personal matter between Johnson and the people to whom he is indebted. -s

One matter In which it 15 thought there may be a large sum due creditors is through the medium of warehouse receipts. Mr. Johnson's grain business was extensive, and it is known that there are many hundreds of dollars outstanding among the farmers on warehouse receipts, given in lieu of cash,

These notes, while they are apparently regular in every other way,,.are not entered on the note register of the 1ank and it was through this discrepancy that Mr. Caldwell became convinced of the fraudulency of the paper.

In addition to the forged paper there are fraudulent certificates of deposit on hand aggregating $61,000. The manner of issuing these certificates is not perfectly clear, but many have come afaout in this way: Solomon Horney, whose death is of recent date, had carried Mr. Johnson's paper for years,

Mr. Johnson and requested payment. Mr.

Powell took up the note by issuing to Mr. Powell a certificate of deposit. There is an aggregate of $61,000 of this sort of paper out, which is in the nature of a personal obligation and is not a part of the amount owing depositors, and consequently will not be paid out of the assets of the bank. Another item of fraud is the individual account of Mr. Johnson, which has been falsified to the amount of about $27,000 so far as is known. 1

Monticello Bink.

Special to the IncUanaDolis Journal. Monticello, Ind., May 23.—The assets of the State Bank of Monticello, whoich was closed Thursday, have been ascertained to be as follows: Notes, $80,000 cash, $16,000 on deposit in State National Bank of Logansport, $23,000. In addition to this is the stock of $25,000 owned equally by Cashier H. Van Voorst, Vice President William H. Elliott, and President J. F. Johnson also, the bank property, valued at $7,000. The liabilities to depositors is $116,000. Notice has been giver, for the appointment of a receiver, which will be heard in the Circuit Court next Tuesday. A meeting was had in the court room this evening by a large number of depositors, at which tbere was a unanimous expression in favor of the bank liquidating without the intervention of a receiver, and the auditor of state and attorney general, who will be here Monday, will be conferred with as to the legality of such a proceeding. The county treasurer, who has $36,000 of the public funds tied up, was not at the meetiHg, and it is by no

means certain that he will acquiesce in the

week, in company with his wife, returning home in his carriage with the cash.

The defaulting president of tti'6 ^tafb National Bank of Logansport was the subject of a conversation last night among a number of former Logansport residents who now live in this city.

But there are thousands ot" people who can recall times when Johnnie Johnson helped them through financial difficulties, and many of them were probably 'thus saved from being in the same boat that Johnson now is in. "He was an exemplary man in his business, social and domestic life. He lived on West Market street, across 'the Eel river, in a comfortable but not extravagant home, lit was rather plain than otherwise. He could always toe found at the bank during business hours, and the rest of hii time was spent wtth his wife and daughter, a child 7 years old. His wife is a daughter of George H.

Violated National Hank Act.

Washington, May 22.—Mr. Coffin, acting controller of the currency, has received a telegram announcing the arrest of John F. Johnson, president of the State National JJank of Looansport, Ind., for criminal violations of the national bank act. Mr. Coffin said that he had information to the effecrt •that Mr. Johnson had procured from the /bank atoou1,. $30k000 on forged notes and about $100,000 additional by making false .en'tries in the individual ledgers and by certificates of detp03its. Before his arrest a transfer to 'the bank of property valued at {100,000 had been procured from Mr. Johnson by the bank ncaminer, acting under instructions from the controller's office. Mr. Coffin is of 'the opinion that the available funds of the bank, including the capital ptock, will be more than sufficient to pay all dencsitors in full.
