Raleigh, N. C, June 6. Acting on the report of Bank Examiner Dough ton, the corporation commission yes terday ordered closed the doors of the Bank of LaGrange, Lenoir coun ty, and a receiver will be appointed at once to take charge. Mr. Dough ton was instructed to take over the affairs of the bank. He made an ex amination Saturday and reported his findings to the commission. Mr. C. V. Brown, assistant bank examiner, made an examination of the Institution in October last, and on this report the commission criti cised the officers of-the bank and In structed them to correct the abdses then apparent. These consisted of unsecured paper, and the commission was informed later that the bank was complying with the law. Less than 30 days after the exam ination and criticism by Mr. Browh the officers got the bank into such trouble that its closing was made necessary. "It has been conducting Its business," reads the order of the commission, "In an unsafe and unau thorized manner and is Insolvent." The bank has overdrafts and unse cured paper to the amount of $12,000, and one . of the directors is reported as seriously involved.

BANK LAGRA P PROBE MEDIATELY Senate Sub. Committee is Named to Investigate f ononis Half of Committee Toted In Illinois Senator's Favor at Former Hear ing Confine Sittings to Washington as Close ly as Possible. Washington, D. C, June 6. Sena tors Dillingham, Gamble, Jones and Kenyon, Republicans, and Fletcher, Johnston, Kern and Lea, Democrats, will constitute the sub-committee that wi'l conduct the new investigation into the bribery charges against Sen ator Lorlmer. They were named for this duty yesterday by the Committee on Privileges and Elections and are all ready to begin services with all the authority of full committee as soon as the Senate approves. Of the eight' members, Messrs, Dillingham and Gamble, Republican's', and Fletch er and Johnston , Democrats, voted for Lorlmer in the previous Investi gation. Mr. Jones, Republican, voted against him. Messrs. Kenyon, Repub lican, and Kern and Lea, Democrats, were not then members of the Senate. They are known, however, to be op posed to Mr. Lorlmer. The committee considered first Mr. Kenyon's motion directing the inves tigation as a whole, but after brief discussion it was rejected by a vote of 3 to 10", affirmative votes being cast by Senators Kenyon, Clapp and Jones. The resolution providing for the appointment of a sub-committee-of eight was proposed by Mr. Bailey, Senior Democratic member of the committee, and it named Messrs. Dil lingham, Gamble, Clapp and Suther land, Republicans, and Messrs. Fletch er, Johnston, Kern and Lea. This followed the rule of seniority except where senators had refused to per mit the use of their names and in sofar as its impartiality could be as sumed. Among those declining to serve on the ground of other engagements were Messrs. Bailey and Painter, Democrats, and Heyburn, Republican. When the list was read Messrs. C'app and Sutherland voluntarily re tired In favor of Messrs. Kenyon and Jones. Contending for the rule of seniority, Mr. Bailey suggested that Messrs. Bradley .and Oliver should be designated. When, however, It was pointed out that both of those sena tors .were ineligible, because, In the previous inquiry they had voted for Lorlmer, the Texas senator yielded and the Iowa and Washington' Sena tors were added to. the list' The sub-committee adopted a reso lution for presentation to the Senate today to clothe the sub-committee with all the powers of a special com-' mittee. It is expected that the reso lution will encounter , comparatively little opposition.' The sub-committee has Indicated a disposition to -confine the sittings to j Washington as closely 'as - possible, but it . Is 'understood that Illinois, will be ,vUlt4d. , The committee will be empowered to sit during sessions of' the Senate and there will be an effort to conclude the werk during the extra sessioa.it?' t a V ' i'VVV 5 vjt s ;:;.,W;1 ' , i.

Also Criticised-Hobble Skirt That She Wore. Charlotte, June 6. William P. Ewart committed suicide and thereby by the pull of a trigger, ended Sun day night a married life of two weeks' duratiop, said to have been preceded by a courtship of seven years. A mo ment previous he had returned from attending a church service with his wife, who was with him In their room in Seversville, where he opened his trunk, took from it the pistol, exe cuted his deed of self-destruction and fell Into the arms of his bride. The young man was 21 years of age. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ewart, of the vicinity of Hun tersville. His father and mother had visited him during the day andjt was remarked upon last night that in bid ding his mother good-bye just prior to her departure for her home at dusk he was unusually demonstrative and gave many evidences of affection and of regret at the parting. Evi dently, therefore, the act was not the result of a momentary impulse, but had been a subject of some consid eration and perhaps of some days' brooding. "You don't love me any more as you used to do." I This remark, says Mrs. Ewart, was ' made to her by her husband. That remark gives the only clue to i the motive, with Its Intimation that young Ewart believed he had cause to be jealous. "Oh, yes, I do," the bride of two weeks says that she made answer. He made some disparaging remark, too, about the "hobble skirt" he said his wife was wearing, criticising her tast in buying it. The suicide occurred so quickly that nothing could be done to prevent It. Death occurred speedily. Coro ner Hovls, Patrolman Walter Orr and qthers who went to the scene found the body lying in the middle of the floor of a room to the north, near a pool of blood. Death of His Son Kills The Father.

BAILEY SPEAKS TO CONFEDERATES Texas Senator Speaks Prin cipally of the Negroes MUST RECOGNIZE THEIR So Other Terms Possible For The Two Races to Live in Peace in This Country Ceeding by Southerners Within Their Rights. Washington, D. C, June 6. Sjna tor Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, ad dressing a gathering of Conlederate veterans last night declared that if the two races are to live in peace in this country it must be with he black race in constant recognition of its inferiority. Speaking of Jefferson Davis,- in observance of whose birthday the gathering was held, Senator Bailey said he was less responsible for the conflict between the States than any other man and was the last man in all the South to abandon the hope of a reconciliation. The truth of history was with the Confederate people," said the Sena tor. "The fathers would never have formed this Union if they had not be lieved that it could be disolved for cause. If the Southern people be lieved they could not remain in the Union with honor and safety they had a right to secede." There was applause when Senator iRlailey presented an aged negro James it Jones, who had served as Mr. Davis' body gua.d. "He Is the only man living," said Senator Bailey, "who knows where the seal of the Confederate States, is, and he won't tell." Many shook hands with the old ne gro, who had Jefferson Davis' cane with him. Attention K. of P. No. 8.
