AFTER ALL RULERS Of THE WOULD
(United Preta Tolegraph-Cable Servlca.)
Buenos Ayress Feb. 29 ? While president Alcorta was
taking his morning ride in an open carriage in the park to
day a bomb was thrown which struck under the carriage.
It failed to explode and the guard acted valiantly in rush
ing to and picking up the deadly instrument and removing
it from the vicinity. The incident occupied but an instant
and the excitement that might have attended it was quick
ly allayed by the president driviDg away nonchalantly.
Police were quickly at work however aud four arrests were
made although it is not certain that the real dynamiter has
been arrested. The attempted assassination came as a
surprise as there has been no discontentment among the
citizens of late. It is believed it is the work of foreigners
that have orgrnized to kill the monarchs and rulers of 'he
world.

(By United Press.)
Reno, Feb. 29? State Bank Examiner
Miller, Id answer to a direct queitioD
put by District Attorney Roberts dur
ing the preliminary" hearing of T. B.
Rickey, at Carson city this afternoon,
stated that the State Bank and Trust
company was insolvent.
On the contrary, Miller st-ief^ne'
told the commission that the liabilities
of the institution were considered great
er than the resources. He further
stated that he notified the State Bank
and Trust company that it was illsgal
to trade accounts and thus reduce their
resources, and that the directors of the
bank allowed this to be done, despite
his order to the contrary.
This was but a portion of the revela
t'ons on the records which promises to
make the heoriDg a sensational one.
Riley Davis, private secretary- to Gov.
Sparks, also gave some damaging testi
mony against Rickey.
Rickey is being represented at the
examination by Alfred Charts, while
District Attorney Roberts and Attorney
General Stoddard are presecuting the
case. Rickey has subpoenaed 100 wit
nessed to prove he did not embezzle the
funds of the depositors while the state
has subpoenaed 60 witnesses to prove
that the directors of the institution
knew the bank was insolvent on Octo
ber 22, when they received money from
depositors.
The examination will last several
days.

ALASKA APPOINTMENTS HELD UP
(United Pro?a Telegraph-Cable Strvlct.)
Washington, Feb. 29 ? The Alaska federal "appoint
ments are being held up persistently in the. senate and
there is no telling as to the ultimate disposition even in
the cases of Prosecuting Attorney Grigsby of Nome and
Judge Reid of the third district. In both or these cases
there have been entered strong objections that seem to hav
great weight The Grigsby and Reid cases are causing
trouble not anticipated when their names first went in.
The nature of the objections against Grigsby has not yet
developed although it is declared the department of justisce
places no weight upon them. The only objections to Reid
so far as known is that he is not acquainted with the
north. The matter of the postoffices appointments at Val
dez and Skagway is in statu quo. Some action is expected to
be taken on them most any day.
