ints, vice president, and William A.
Rule, cashier. Its directors and stock
aolders include some of the most promi
nent men in Kansas City. The bank
held the deposits of numerous small
banks In this part of the southwest.
C%hat effect the failure will have on
ihem is problematical. There had been
no run by local depositors, but many
of the outside banks caused the trouble
'.;.- withdrawing their funds on deposit
With the- Commerce.
The Bank of Commerce was inter
ested in many local enterprises. Its
individual depositors were among the
". largest of any bank in the city. Its
•statement printed this morning show
,. f.ng the hea%-y tailing off in deposits
• tirew a big crowd of depositors to the
banic as early as 9 o'clock, evidently
intent on withdrawing their money.
More or less excitement followed the
news that the bank nad been closed.
find the crowd gradually grew in size
until it stopped traffic. William A.
liule, cashier ot the bank, made the
! following statement this morning in
the presence of Dr. Woods, the presi
dent:
"The directors of the National Bank
of Commerce thought it was best to
at least close temporarily. We made
jhe fljrht of our lives, but conditions
were against us. The depositors will
not lose a cent."
Dr. Woods acquiesced In what Cashier
Ilulo had said and added:
"You may also say that the Com
merce Trust company is absolutely all
right. Yesterday its statement showed
CO per cent of its cash on hand."
President Woods, it is announced,
has given his personal indorsement to
$3,000,000 of collateral pledged to se
cure his depositors. President Woods
is reputed to be a millionaire many
times over and has valuable real es
tate holdings.
VICTIM OF RUMORS
NEW YORK. Dec. 5. — H. H. Davison.
\ice president of the First national
l.ank.of this city, one of the principal
correspondents of the national bank of
commerce of Kansas City, recently re
turned from Chicago and he met sev
rral Chicago and Kansas City bankers
to discuss the situation. At this con
ference it was decided to stand by the
national bank of commerce and carry it
as long as possible.
* "We were satisfied with the manner
in which the bank had been conducted
at that time," said Davison, "but the
bank had been the victim of unjust re
ports spread from one end of the coun
try to the other. No bank in JLhe coun
try gave better collateral than the
Kansas City institution. Heavy with
drawals of deposits, the result of the
unjust reports, caused the final Embar
rassment which made a decision to
close necessary."

DECIDE TO CLOSE
; NEW YORK, Dec. s.— The theatrical
4-nnagers association today decided to
all New York theaters next Sun
day in view of Justice O'Gorman's re
cent decision In the supreme court' that
stage entertainments of any nature on
the Sabbath are illegal.-
MANAGERS OF THEATERS
ARE GIVEN MORE TIME
Will Be Allowed to Operate
in Present Buildings
Until 1910
The theaters will be permitted to run
in the buildings occupied by them unul
January, 1910, after they have made the
alterations ordered by the flre commit
tee of the supervisors. This decision
was* arrived at yesterday, at a confer
ence between Mayor Taylor. Supervis
orw Brandenstein and Faymonville, Po
lice Chief Blggy, Fire Chief Shaugh
nessy. Fir© Marshal Towe and Inspec
tor Porter of the ' fire underwriters.
The conference was called to take
action on the noticcs^nt to Blggy by
the late grand Jury, directing him .to
close all theaters that were being oper
ated In violation of the provisions ' of
the flre ordinances regulating tha con
duct of places of amusement.
"Doc" Leahy and • AI. Maxx, repre
senting the theatrical interests, said
that the managers would be pleased to
make any changes ordered, but it
would be impossible to get class A
structures on short notice.
Each theater will be required to pay
for the services of two firemen, who
will be stationed in the house at every
performance, and in addition must pay
for one policeman.-. Each playhouse
will have a 10 , foot foyer, the aisles
must not be, less than six feet wide
and an aisle must be maintained across
the width of- the theater and connect
with side exits.
The privile&a granted will extend to
all of .the theaters save Boodler Davis'
firetrap, which was closed last week.
The Empire was ordered closed owing
to a lack of side exits,- but it complied
immediately with this requirement and
opened its doors as usual last night.
SUTTER STREET SIDEWALKS
Property Owners Undecided as to
Reduction of Width
Property owners along Sutter street
who had petitioned the supervisors to
reduce the sidewalk from 15 to 12 feet
appeared before the street committee
yesterday to ask that the matter be
allowed to remain in abeyance. They
said that delay would follow, as a res
olution to authorize the proposed re
duction would be necessary and they
were anxious to have the street re
paired at once. A contract had been let
for the repair work, and und>r the cir
cumstances they would not press their
application. It then developed that the
contract for the repair work had lapsed
and that it would be necessary to again
advertise for bids. This put the mat
ter in a new light and after a short
consultation the petitioners requested
the committee to continue the hearing
until next week. In the meantime they
will decide whether they will allow the
sidewalks to remain as they are or ask
to have three feet cut off their width.
FAVORS PARKSIDE FRANCHISE
Street Committee of Supervisors Rec
ommends Granting of Petition
The street committee of the super
visors met yesterday afternoon and
after listening to arguments of the
Parkslde transit company for a 25 year
franchise for a street railroad over and
along Twentieth avenue from H to W
street, and along W street to ' Nin
eteenth avenue, In lieu of the franchise
heretofore granted on Nineteenth aye
! nue, decided to recommend that the'
application be granted.
DELAY ACTION OX PEHSIITS
Th£ amended application of the Atch
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
company for spur track privileges In
Spear street came up for consideration
by the street committee of the super
visors j-esterday, but no action was
taken. The greatest objection to the
application is that under the terms of
the proposed permit Mission, Howard
and Folsom streets would be blocked
by cars between the hours of midnight
and 6 a. m., unless provision is made to
break the trains at th^se street cross
ings. Final action on the application
was postponed until next Thursday.
CITY MAY LEASE LAND
The fire committee of tne supervisors
decided yesterday to recommend that
the city enter into a five year lease of
a lot on Fulton street, between Larkin
and Polk, at a monthly rental of $300.
In the event of the lease being closed,
a building for the use of the fite and
police alarm system will be erected -on
the property.
HOLDS UP RESTAURANT MAN
IN PRESENCE OF CUSTOMERS
Bold Robbery by a Well Dressed
Stranger, Who Carries a
Revolver
Frank Carevich, restaurant keeper
at 187 Steuart street, was last night
robbed for the second time in two days.
A well dressed stranger entered the
place shortly after 6 o'clock In the
evening and after ordering and drink
ing a cup of coffee walked to the
counter, .where the cashier, Nicholas
Dabelich, was standing. Pushing a
gun in the latter's face, he demanded
all the money in the cash, drawer. Ter
rified, the cashier compiled with the
demand and the robber then backed
out of the place, keeping the other
customers, who would have joined fn
the affair, covered with the gun. He
disappeared with $34.
Only the night , before Carevich suf
fered the loss of $32, burglars having
entered the place and broken open the
cash register:
HURT BY CAR COLLISION
When car No. 1005 of the Twenty
fourth and Hoffman line and a car
of the Kentucky street lino, crashed
into each other yesterday afternoon
the shock 'threw .Henry Martini of
3411% Twenty- third -street 50 feet,
crushing and" breaking his left leg: and
bruising him about the head and body.
As the Hoffman avenue car wa:
swinging from the steep grade befon
reaching, Eighteenth street the brake:
suddenly refused to work. Despite th<
frantic efforts: of the motorman the cai
jumped the track and rammed the s!d<
of the Kentucky street *car. Johi
Brown, the. motorman, was arrestec
and charged with . battery.
FORCE OF A CYCLONE
Careful . estimate or the force of a

veals the presence of a power that
makes the /mightiest 'efforts of 'a. man

In a West Indian cyclone. This'greatly

MEDICAL BOARD OUSTS
TAIT AS AN EXTREMIST
Tried /to Make Profession
Closed Cult Is Reason ;
Given for Removal ; '
HE BLAMES GILLETT
Says Governor Was Piqued
Because He Acted With
out Appointment
; ; LOS > ANGELES, Dec s.— The : sum
mary removal of Dr. P. , Dudley Talt* of
San Francisco from the position. of , as
sociate secretary of the state board
of medical . examiners and \ from all of
liclal connection with the board; Is the
culmination of a light which' has been
made against Talt for many months. -It
has been known ' that- there was -an
extremely bitter feeling .'against Tait
among members of the: medical profes
sion In various parts of \ the state, and
the last time that: those who opposed
him showed . their hands was when
they succeeded In . preventing his ap
pointment as a member, of .the board.
He. had been; nominated, and; his name
sent to Governor- Glllett. but so' nu
merous were the; protests; against his
appointment that the '<- governor refused
to send in his name. Jhat was nearly
a year ago, and there has been *no
diminution In the bitter -feeling.
Not the slightest suspicion ' or rumor
of anything improper ; in ; Tait's " r finan
cial or professional affairs contributed
to the action of the board '; in remov
ing him. The real reason, although
the members will not admit it except
in private,; is that it was the opinion
of certain members that Talt has
sought to usurp the authority of the
board. - . "-. ';,. .
There are physicians in California
who would gladly, erect :a wall of "ex
clusion against all" medical men from
the east or elsewhere, and make .it
almost impossible for them to
in practice here. It has been charged
that Tait is of this class and is an-ex
tremist, violently opposed to themore
liberal policy which those who oppose
him seek to inaugurate. Among other
things it has been charged ' that Talt
"had it in for" certain medical schools;
that he dominated even.the^ board itself
when it came to j preparing for exami
nations of candidates for certificates to
practice, and that he made the exami
nations so difficult that few members
of the profession, whatever their,abil
ity, could possibly pass them. \u0084_;., '/•
By applying a forgotten statute the
antl-Tait forces got his scalp yester
day. The law. provides that the secre
tary of the board shall have no part in
the examination of a candidate, and
Talt, disregarding this law, made the
examination one of his pet hobbies.
Even after he ceased to be a mem
ber of the state board - TaitT: Insisted
upon having a voice in -the examina
tions and his connection -with them
made many Influential enemies for him
in the profession. Finally » sufficient
pressure was applied to the board to
cause his removal. \u25a0 • \u25a0;> \u25a0 .
It Is generally believed here that Dri
Talt left, for home with a , view- to en
deavoring to obtain reinstatement
Dr. Talt arrived last night in San
Francisco. He said: "My" removal from
the position of ' associate . secretary,
which I had held solely through a de
sire to assist and without remunera
tion, was brought about by, political In
fluences which. I have , been led' to , un-'
derstand emanated ' from the ' governor.
\u25a0".\u25a0 "At the session two 'members of the
board stated that the governor. took It
as an insult that I was theredesplte
the fact that he had not appointed' me,
and moved that my services be- dis
pensed with. The motion was approved.
However, a second resolution express
ing regret that, circumstances would
not permit of my holding the: position
was adopted. The board then upheld
me by giving me a position as chair
man on the board of school examiners.
It was solely to advance the interests of
the schools that I entered the board,
and my new position allows me to con
tinue that work."

LADIES WERE GREAT DRINKERS
The Westminster Gazette prints an
amusing letter written by the earl
of Leicester to Lord' Burleigh as> .to
the lack of sufficiently 'strong: ale for
Queen Elizabeth at Hatfield. "There is
not one drop of gboddrink for her 'here.
We. were, fain^to send to London and
Kenilwofth 1 and- divers: other places
where ale was; jher, own beer was so
strong as there' was no man able;:-, to
drink -." it." : Ale and bread were the
chief items of the royal breakfast. The
quantity ' of ale consumed by ladles at
breakfast in- those days was consider
able, for In the" reign of " Henry" VIII
the : maids of r honor were allowed for
breakfast "one chet; loaf, one manchet^
two I gallons of ale arid , a • pitcher of
wine!.'' A ;. Lady \u25a0 Lucy made a mighty
