Norwich, April 15.—Tho an-
nouncement by federal bank ex-
aminers that the shortage in the
First National bank at Now Ber-
• lin -would probably exceed $300,-
000 threw the people of that
Tillage into excitement to-day and
another storming of the institu-
tion such as occurred yesterday
was expected to-day.
Village folk at Xew Berlin believed
they had learned tlte worst late last
week when the estimates of the 3 h o i t -
ag,» chmb"d from 5100.000 to $200,000.
Now that annthsr $10U.OOO has heeii
added feeling is running high.
yesterday ihe f o u r hank examiners
spent a busy day at tho bank aided
by Lee Hoadley. the new cashier.
Word that the bank was opened
spread through the village and h u n - 1
dreds of depositors stormed the doors j
of the building.
Attack from tho front was useless, I
but persistent individuals found a
•window on the side. Hundreds
gathered w i t h o u t this and h u r l e d '
questions at the men inside. Tor
more than two hours the examiners
were obliged tu cease work and at-
tempt to quiet the people on the
outside.
I n q u i r i e s Ignored.
All questions relative to the bank's
financial condition weie ignored. Hun-
dreds, however, were anxious to learn
what sK-pfa could bo taken by them to j
secure f u n d s from other bank's cm the i
strength or the securities and valu- ,
ablefi in the First National. The
ad\ ice that could be given in this i
regard was given.
Efforts to learn something of the i
condition of Frank T. Arnold, the con-
fessed wrecker of. the bank and former
cashier, resulted in the statement be-
ing given out t h a t he was better liis
physicians still hold, however, that he
Is in a critical condition from nei \ ous
prostration and complicated ailments.
Reports of Arnold's extreme sick-
ness are taken at considerably less
than their face value by the village
people, however.
Arnold Is Moved.
An effort to account for the early
report that Arnold was 111 In his
bungalow when it afterward appeared

thorities knew that he had disappeared.
Added interest was given the case
to-day when it became known that the
former cashier was a frequent visitor
at the Onondaca in Syracuse. On each
occasion he lived in the most expensive
style. It is said that he was a sues! at
the Ononflaga not more than a month
apo.
From his generous treatment of the
hotel servants his visits came to be
looked forward to.
Hired Whole Floor of Hotel.
All during last summer Arnold spent
week ends at the Onondaga, arriving
•with a party of four by automobile. On
one occasion he had a large party and
took the entire ninth floor of the hotel.
This time he reserved a corner suite
for himself.
His tips, it is said, were never less
than SI. At the time he entertained
the big party nearly every bellboy in
the house was used to take the bag-
gage to the ninth floor. Each received
$1 for the service. Arnold always gave
$5 tor the waiter in the dining room

State Department's Forceful
Note Brings Relations to
Crisis.
Washington, April 15.—The
to the contending factions in
Mexico, warning them against
any mistreatment, of Americans, is
believed to have brought the re-
i i » — ». —..-•
lations between the United States
and Mexico to the critical point.
This is a fair deduction from the
past experience and tradition of
the State department, notably and
recently in the case of Cuba.
RECALLS SPANISH WAR.
It is recalled that just such warning
as this preceded the Spanish war, cul-
minating in the famous message of
President McKmlcy, which referred to
the "intolerable conditions existing at
our doorway."
It is still hopend and believed by ad-
ministration officials, however, that
Saturday's notes will have a sobering
effect upon the passions of the strug-
gling factions, and that it will not be
necessary for the American govern-
ment to consider drastic steps in' re-
gard to Mexico. This hope led to re-
newed assurances from official quar-
ters to-day that there wil be no inter-
vention.
Tho next step must be taken by
Mexicans, either through the rebel
leader, Orozco, or by President Madero.

vices received he' - e t i l l s afternoon. .Vhout 600 were removed at dawn and
then there was a oassation for a few hours oeoausp of a heavy wind which
suddenly arose. When this had decreased the rescue work was continued i
and the remainder of the passengers w erft saved.
Part of (hem were subsequently transferred to the Virginian, which'
followed the Carpathia on the scene and was later joined by the Parisian.

SHIP LISTING DANGEROUSLY.
The air tight compattments and the powerful high pressure pumps on
the liner prevented her entire hull from filling and enabled her to keep afloat
despite the fact th-it she listed dangerously.
Wireless reports said that Captain Smith refused to desert his vessel and
was m a k i n g every effort to save her. Ills crew remained on board -with him.
They added that the passengers were in no danger as the sea was calm and
the weather fair.
