Thus far Naples has not been affectett by the eruption, but a dark column of smoke can be seen from the eity hov. ering over the crater, Prof, Matteucci, director of the Royal Observatory on Mount Vesuvius, in an interview with the Associated Press, said: "I do not believe this is a new eruption, as all the phenoinena preceding such an event aro lacking. I think the rain of ashes was caused by the slipping down of the Au. perior lip of the crater and that the tremblings were due to water from the recent heavy rains having reached. the fire zone inside the volcano, producing an internal explosion."

Accountant Langton feft the Bank Because of raise Returns. A. E. Ames Gave Evidence as to Transactions With Ws firm. Toronto report: The examination of Charles McGill upon the orelinanary eharge ef Lisning false statements to the Government yesterday developed several interesting phases. The examination sees condueted. by Ceown Attorney Corley, with Mr. James Bicknell, K. C., and Hon, A. 13aloaine present Upon behalf of the .Caanallan Bankers' sassociation, and Mr, L. E. McKay appearing for Mr. McGill. Mr. J. L. Langton, the former chief accountant of the Ontario Bank, was an importaut witness, tout obtained at the suggestion of his counsel, Mr. N. W. Bowen, E., .0., the proteetion of the urc. Mr. Langton's evidence was intermit - Mee inasmuch as he declared 04 he left the service of the bank in 1003 because lie was miwilling to longer be a party to the publication of statements which he knew to be "incorrect," At that time Mr. Langton was inclined to believe that the dbeetors were aware of the speculative nature of the bank's invest- mentsand af the fact that these were being concealed in the returns to tee Government. He swore to seeing the President, Mr, G. 11. R. Cockburn, and General Manager McGill examining the securities ledger, which contained the ac- counts with different brokers who acted for the .bank. Another circumstance which might in- cline Mr. Laiiiton to the belief that the directors were conversant with the in- vestments of the bank was that, in 1903 a notice appeared on the directors' book ordering that all sales ana purchases of stock should be reportea to the board. Mr. A. E. Ames described in some de- tail the operations in the stock mar- ket in which the firm of A. E. Ames & Company :idea as brokers for the bank. 'Checks given by thr firm to Mr. McGill against one or other of the three accounts -which be maintained in the brokers' office were traced to the Yonge street branch of the Ontario Bank, whete they were cashed and the pro- ceeds received by Mr, McGill. Mr. Ames made the statement that deals in margins by bank managers with bank funds, while by no means usual, were not uuknown. It also sometimes occurred that officers of corporations operated in the market upon behalf of their companies, but under their own names. Mr. Robert E. Me.Kaar, the junior coun- sel for the defence cross-examined Mr. Ames and. secured -file rather interesting statement that the broker had known of other eases where bank managers bad dealt in stocks on margins with the bank's funds. These cases he would not describe'however, in the words attempt- ed to be used by Mr. McKay,. as "not infreqUeet." Mr. Ames also said that he had known of an official of a cor- poration to invest the corporation's money in his own name. This again was not usual. It was eustomary to have the securities held. by at least two officials. The history of the advances made by Mr. McGill to the three accounts which he carried in the brokers' offices; the losses sustained and the sums checked out, until finally the joint accounts showed. an aggregate of losses and natio drawals amounting to $136,000, was gone into. This was the amount which on the bank books stood me a loan to the brokerage firms. Mr. Ames said his firm did not owe this amount. "Then the snin of the whore thing is this, that the charge of $136,000 against is a false statement?" said the Moos- tyroauteithe books of the OntarioBank .n Mr. Ames thought it was, Upott July 1 the bank's ledger showed a loan of $142,049.91 to the Ames firm, and the Ames books showed a liability, secured by collateral, from Mr. McGill to the firm of $37,801. Amounts were checked out of Mr. Ma - gill's accounts with A. E.

ME NEWFOUNDLAND MODUS MENU Premier Orders Arrest of LT. S. Fishermen and an International Question Arises. New 'roils, Nov. 12,—A despatch to the Times from St. John's Nfld., says that Sir Robert Bond, Premier of the colony, has taken the law into his own hands and despite the modus vivendi ar- ranged sometime ago between England and the United States has ordered the arrest of American fishermen for violat- ing the Bait Act, an ordinance of the Newfoundland government. Solicitor Edinburgh, acting fors the government, has gone to the bay islands to come pro- ceedings to be taken. While there ia general sympathy throughoq the colony with the stand of the Premier regarding the modus ide Ro- tten in the present instanee is blamed as precipitate. While, however, there is no feeling in Newfoundland adverse to the United States there is a strong sentiment against sacrificing any of the interests of the people of the colony to acquire the good will of any nation, Sir Robert Bond's action assumes in- ternational importance and may call for lelicate dip/on:title negotiations but the Premier is determined to test the law at once.
