With Republicans Against Wilson. "Mr. Speaker," he added, "I think you win search the historical record of this country in vain to find such a spectacle as we have found here in this Congress the leaders , of the Democratic party deserting their par ty and standing shoulder to shoulder ith Republican leaders against a Democratic President."

Chief Institution Expected to Reopen Next Week, Says Examiner r Others Closed as Precau tionary Measure. Chicago, June 12. Four State banks the most important having for its president William Lorimer, unseated from the .United State iSenate, were closed by the State banking depart ment here today. Representatives of the department immediately began an examination into the institution's af fairs. Rumors were current that a re ceivership would be asked. The four banks were the La Salle 'Street Trust and Savings Bank, the Broadway State Bank, the Illinois State Bank, and the Ashland-Twelfth Street State Bank, known as tire Lori-mer-Munday chain of banks. The La Salle Street Bank was the main insti tution. Combined, the banks have de posits of $n,411,997, and reported cash means of $1,643,692. ' Of deposits $966,000 consists of city funds. The bulk of this amount, $650, 000, is on deposit with the La Salle Street Trust and. Savings Bank. Daniel Harkin, chief examiner, who took personal charge of the downtown bank and sent deputies to the smaller ones, said he-expected to see thre La fcalle Street Trust and Savings Bank open for business next week. He de clared he sent examiners to the small er institutions as a precautionaly mea sure: He insisted there was no politi cal phase to the action of his depart ment. . . ' -.'.. . An examination of : the La. Salle Trust and. Savings Bank by Harkin, two months ago, disclosed, he said, a quantity of what he regarded as slow assets., .btate Officials sav the hartk officials pleaded for a time to change. that condition..' In the last three weeks, according to-Harkinid;-tl'erf tae4a-nkv there, has .been what was- termed a mild run on the bank; causing a deple tion of about ' $1,000,000 -in- deposits. Former: United: States Senator Lor imer, -president; and C. B. -Munday, vice-president, refused to cbmment on the situation. r. James B. Forgan, .president of the First National Bank, and chairman of the Clearing - House committee, said: "The closinff of..th Jfx. S-allf Stropt TruSt and Savings Bank should not have the slightest effect on any other banks in the Chicaero district. Thp banks are not associated with other downtown banks. The La Salle Street Trust and Savings' Bank is not a mem ber of the Clearing House association,-and has had none of the privi leges of the-clearing house." State officials declare the financial condition of the "La Salle Street Bank had caused them to fear the possibil ity of a disastrous run. Mr." Munday .recently' was named, among other defendants, in two court actions a.suit filed by John H. Coyne against James 'J. Brady, State audi- tor, and an application for a receiver by the minority stockholders of the Hill Cemetery Company. In the Coyne suit is was alleged that Brady, Munday. and C. E. Ward, secre tary to Lorimer, .'maliciously had devis ed a scheme tp oust 1 Coyne as a bank examiner.' -The petition charged that the La Salle; Street , institution made a 12,500 contribution to some unknown person, who delivered the same to Brady, and that following Brady's elec tion the bank made a further contri bution of $500 to the defendant, in consideration of which it was to be al lowed to nanie -certain employees in the State Auditor's office. In the Rose Hill Cemetery case the application for a receiver charged that Munday and others had caused a di version of the assets of the company.

Estimates to-4 night by Secretary McAdoo indicated that the government income for the ofical year: ending June; 30th will ex ceed ordinary expenditures by about $30,0000,000. This is about $10,000, 000 less than last year's surplus.. In come tax returns have fallen below original estimates, but the customs houses turned: in about $21,000,000 more than predicted.; Whatever sur plus there" is .will be absorbed by Panama Canal ' payments, as it was last year. - The department is convinced that many liable to . the income tax have failed to make returns . and that many have made inaccurate returns.

Niagara Falls, Ont., June 121 -Delegates from the United States' and the Huerta government In the presence of the mediating: representatives of Arg entina, Brazil: and ' Chile, today formal ly signed the' first protocol pf the series through: which. It is hoped to restore, peace in Mexico. Tne' agreement as to the manner of transferring execu tive power from Huerta to the new provisional government, reduced to writing, provides: ! "A government Is to be constituted in Mexico of a character to be later provided, which shall be recognized by the United States on (date , to be fixed) and which irom that , day -forward shall exercise public - functions until there shall be inaugurated a con stitutional president.. l t- Protocol Significant. The brief protocol . was significant of two things: . It makes no mention of Gen. Huerta as the provisional President, and as stated in Associated -Press dispatches last night, it omits the method of trans fer which the . Mexican delegates and mediators suggested, and to' which the United States objected, on the ground that its retention would be tantamount in TPMBnitinn 'of t.hft Mtstiner resrlme. The Mexican plan provided that Hu- erta should name as minister of for eign .affairs the - man agreed on here to' President,, . ' , , ; The . Mexican delegates, While aban doning the constitutional form of suc cession as, a part of the protocol, are . satisfied because it does not specifl- cally deny Huerta's fight -to name as ministef of foreign, atfairs the man chosen here "for provisional President; if ,the latter sees fit to accept -designation from him. It is hot considered probable, however, that the hew; pro visional1 President, who is likely to be a ConstltutionalistVwould take the ex- ;ecutive power directly from Huerta, but he miffht-do so from some other individual whom Huerta might leave In authority. .
