Markot Street Merchants Want Gas
Lamp Bill Reported.
Thomas Martlndale, chairman of a spe
cial committee of the Market Street Mer
chants' Association, has sent a second
letter to John P. Connelly, chairman of
the Finance Committee of Councils, urg
ing that the ordinance to chango public
gasoline lamps to gas be reported out
of committee for action by Councils.
The ordinance would provide work for
the unemployed by expenditure of 1130,
000 by the United Gas Improvement Com
pany In extending Its gas mains. Tho
city would save more than $70,000 a year
by the change. In splto of all nppeals,
the Finance Committee has kept the bene
ficial legislation In pickle for almost a
year. Mayor Blankcnburg has asserted
that "some mysterious Influences seem
to be at work" to prevent passage of ths
ordinance.

BANK'S CREDITOR
PAYS $10,000 TO
SHOW GOOD FAITH
Denies Culpability for Situa
tion Which Caused Sus
pension Hopes for Early
Reopening.
SCHAEFFBItSTOWK, Pn., Feb. 12.
Squlro Irwin Horst, cigar manufacturer
nnd tobacco dealer, whoso Indebtedness
to tho wrecked First Nntlonat Bank has
been tentatively plnced nt $10,000 by Bx
nmlner Logan, has placed that amount
of money In tho hands of tho United
States Treasury offlclat. Tho money, It
Is definitely understood, wilt not be paid
Into tho bank nt this time, but will con
tinue In thn possession ot Examiner Lo
gan until Horst's exact Indebtedness to
the .looted Institution has been estab
lished. In putting up the 110,000 deposit, Squlro
Horst made It plain that It was but an
evidence of his entire good faith In alt
his transaction!! with the bunk, Ills
banking bustness, ho had been led by his
implicit confidence In Cashier Blnncr, to
leave entirely In the hands ot the latter,
whoso lifelong friend ho had been.
Horst Insisted thnt ho hnd no knowlcdgo
that ne owed tho bank anything like
$10,000, but was willing to accept tho fig
ures ot the bank examiner until tho
truth shall have been fully established.
An expert nccountant Is to go ovor
Horst's books while the examination of
tho bank's account Is proceeding and
then there will be n. compnrlng of figures
with the hope that the whole transac
tion will bo laid bare. Horst In
sists ho has nothing to fear and wel
comes the final accounting with entire
confidence In his absolute freedom from
any culpability In tho wrecking of tho
bank. Tho money was placed In the
hands of the examiner late yesterday.
Up to this morning tho bnnk officials
havo heard nothing In a substantial way
from D. B. Klefcr, tho Mlddletown cattle
dealer, whose Indebtedness was fixed at
$12,000, but confidence Is expressed In his
ability to mako good by tho early pay
ment of at least a portion of the money
he owes tho bnnk.
Tho step taken In tho Horst ense will
most likely bo followed In that of Klefer
and mnkes plain tho necessity of having
all of tho $11, COO phortago In tho bank's
funds paid In cash by tho stockholders.
Tho response In the shape of payments
ot not only tho flrot 2S per cent, of the
$HH, but the entire amount In most cases
has proved n source of keenest satisfac
tion on the part of all who aro Identi
fied with the undertaking of placing the
bank squarely on Its feet again,
There is confidence expressed that nil
nssessmentB will havo been paid by to
morrow evening, and In thnt event tho
bank may be reopened for bustness next
Monday morning, providing Examiner
Logan and his assistants shall havo
reached such a point in their almost
ceaseless labors as will warrant tho rec
ommendation of such a stop. Although
this Is a legal holiday, observed by nil tho
bunks, thero was no let-up In tho work In
the First National Bank, whero every
effort Is now being made to bring order
out of chaos In order that the stockholders
may be Informed Just where they stand
with reference to tho true conditions ex
isting there nnd given tho opportunity to
resume business.

U. S. FLAG PROTEST
AROUSES IRRITATION
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Resentment in London
Somewhat Lessened by
Still More Vigorous Lan
guage in Note to Germany.
IONDON, Feb, 12.
That the United States Intends fully to
protest nil of Its rights and privileges In
tho construction today placed on tho '
American note to Germany and Great
Urltahi. Although the compete text'
reached hero too late for extensive com
ment by tho morning papers thero Is no
question that tho vigorous language used
in both communications came as a dis
tinct surprise to tho majority of British
diplomats.
Thero Is a general disposition to resent
the action ot the American State Depart
ment In assuming, without first aiklng for
official Information, that the British
Foreign Offlco has sanctioned the "misuse
of neutral flags." As a matter of fact
the majority of Englishmen are arguing
that Inasmuch as Britain has always
allowed tho uso of Its flog by a merchant
man seeking to evado capture It should
havo tho samo right. Were the Amorlcan
noto not accompanied by tho note tu
Qormany, couched In such strong
language, It Is believed It would nrouso
severe Irritation. But thero Is ft general
feeling that of the two tho Kaiser gels
the worst of it, nnd this brings satis
faction to the avcrago Englishman.
However, this Is no disguising the fact
that o. strong nntl-Amcrlcan feeling Is
growing throughout England. Having
its basis in tho belief that the United
States should openly express sympathy
with the cause of the Allies, It has been
added to by the original protest agaimt.
England's assumption of domlnaUon of
the seas, and tho latest note can bo ex
pected to odd to It Tho majority ot
English omclals Insist that whether tho
Foreign Office sanctioned the use of the
American flag by certain mall-carrying
English steamships or not, tho present
protest need not have been made in the
manner that It was. They take tho po
sition that tho attention of the British
Government could have been called to
tho matter through diplomatic channels
and without making tho text of the ,note
public
Tho assumption, admittedly made on
newspaper reports, that tho Foreign Of
fice has officially sanctioned the uso of
the flag, Is characterized as typically
American.
It Is understood that so soon as he
has considered tho note, Sir Edward Grey,
British Foreign Secretary, will call it to
the attention of tho Cabinet. It will cnuso
no surprise If the Government should dis
avow tho allegations contained In the
letter and place responsibility for the use
of the American flag on high officials
of the steamship lines, although this Is, ot
course, not certain,
