The plans are not yet fully complete, but they give promise of being elaborate In every particular.

this picturesque capital. Although necessarily not on the same scale of magnificence as the reception accorded Mr. Root by Brazil or that in course of preparation by Argentina, Montevideo has extended to biui a wel come full of spontaneous warmth and cordiality. At an early hour the crowd began assembling at every vantnge point In the port and on the mole. It continu ally grew in numbers until seemingly the entire population was present to greet thfe visitors.

An enthusiastic ova' tion was given to Edward C. O'Brien, the popular. American minister, when be, accompanied by the port authorities, embarked for the outer roads to meet the Charleston. Cheers For United States. The arrival of the cruiser with the distinguished travelers stationed prominently on the upper deck, to which Mr.

O'Brieu immediately proceeded, was the culminating point in the enthusiasm of the crowd. Cries of "Long live Secretary Root!" "Long live President Roosevelt:" and "Long live the great republic of the north!" rent the air. These were repeated when the steamer Triton anchored alongside the Charleston for the purpose of enabling the committee, composed of officials, several leading residents and a number of ladies, to board the cruiser and tender the first welcome to the visitors. After this ceremony the committee and Mr. "Root's party boarded the steamer 'IngeDiero, whence the lauding was made.

Great Enthusiasm Shoqyn. As soon Mr. Root was on shore Jose Rotncu, the minister of for elgn aftajrs, delivered a speech of welcome, to which Mr. Root made a brief reply. AS i thfr, visitors drove away, accompanied by Minister O'Brien, to the splendid residence in the heart of the city which had been provided for them the scene of enthusiasm was Impressive and striking.

Mrs. Root and Miss Root shared the heartiness of the ovation accorded the American secretary of state. Later there was a reception by the president of the republic at Government House, a military parade and a gala performance at the theater.

Another batch of Hazteton liquor dealers were served with a summons yesterday to appear before Squire Rfcharda and Squire Dymond, of Wll kesbarre. The list includes almost every dealer of prominence, nnd all are charged with the violation of the liquor law on Sunday, July 8th. There Is a prevalent impression that the spotters never secured any evidence against a majority, but just took it for granted that the law was violated. It la known that in several cases the proprietors were not at home on the day in question, and no one was about their places. The liquor men held a meeting yesterday and have decided to fight to the bitter end, even though they be compelled to resort to the higher Courts.

MINER INJURED. Michael Gurke, a Polander living at Dupont, received injuries while at work in Butler mine this morning and is in a critical condition at tiki home. He is employed at the Butler mine as a laborer, and was assisting his miner when a large prop was accidentally knocked out of place.

Frank Kowalskl for five years paying teller of the Mil waukee Avenue State bank, which failed last Monday, shot and killed himself in his home, 340 North Car penter street Criticism by neighbors and friends, accused him of a share in the downfall of the bank, it is believed, drove Kowalskl to suicide. The acme of the trouble was reached when a woman he had known for years accosted him on the street and accused him of being responsible for the. fail ure of the bank. Speaking of the in cident Kowalskl complained bitterly of the suspicious of his friends and de clared that unless his character was speedily cleared he would take his own life. Kowalski's relatives assert their firm belief that he was innocent of any knowledge as to the mismanagement of the bank by President Stensland When the bank failed Kowalskl had $700 of his own money on deposit in the institution, and his immediate relatives had In the bank nearly Kowalskl, who was thirty years old, had been with the bank for thirteen years, beginning as office boy.

Examining Bank's Assots. While the search for Paul O. Stens land, the missing president of the failed bank, is extending to all parts of the country Cashier Ilering spent many. hours with the state attorneys exam ining the bank's collateral in an effort to determine the shortage in accounts, After an till day search, forged notes aggregating more than $500,000 were found und are now in the possession of the state attorney, who will use them in the prosecutiou of persons responsible for their utterance. From statements made by Ilering regarding loans made by Stensland to himself and the shortages found by previous investigations it is asserted that when a final adjustment of the affairs of the bank Is made it will be found that President Stensiand's alleged defalcations will aggregate nearly $2,000,000.

In addition to the discovery of a jprt vate ledger kept by President Stensland and in which was concealed a record of $101,000 of savings bank depos its, another sensational book came to light during the examination of Cashier Hering by Assistant State Attorney Oisen at the bank. This book showed that Stensland, in company with a coterie of friends, was a heavy plunger on the rnccs. It contained memoranda of the campaigns en the turf. One day Stensland nnd his companions bet $75,000 to win $00,000 on horse called General Bragg. The animal won.

There were lots of losings, however, to offset this big winning. The authorities are chary of reposing Implicit confidence in Ilering" statement that he did not forge the names on certain notes nnd by implication insinuating that Stensland did. Stensland an Invalid. The reason is that for the last two or three years Stensland has not been physically perfect. His nerves have given him a lot of trouble, and so poor has been his control of them that his bunds have shaken as If he had the palsy.

No wavering penman could do the high grade forgery that has been going on. Ilering will be confronted with the crooked signatures and questioned point blank about each one. The actual securing of money on bad paper always was put through at noon, when the paying teller wns out at lunch. Then Hering would enter his cage, take the money and leave a debit slip on the hook. The stockholders of the Milwaukee avenue store number 0,000 persons many of them worklngraeu, holders of Shares of $10 each.

The individual liabilities, of these stockholders, it is claimed, is a mooted point, audit moy be that the court will hold that the creditors of the company have recourse upon the Individual property of them all.
