BRYAN LISTS ATTORNEYS The controversy now at its height between Governor Bryan and Bank Receiver Clarence Bliss in which the governor is accused of such interference in the labors of the receiver that the latter attempted removal of his office from the co-operation of the state banking department has prompted Governor Bryan to publish the names of the attorneys who have been employed by the receivers and the amounts paid to them in the past.

NORFOLK MAN FOUND DEAD City authorities at Norfolk were called the home of Gus Bartholoto mew on Monday to ascertain if possible the cause of death of Hillard Bartholomew; 24 years old, whose body was found in the home garage by his father. From all indications the young man had committed suicide. Examination by the authorities proved that he had taken the car belonging to his father on Sunday evening without the knowledge of his parents and contrary to instructions from them. He had been out late in the evening and overturned the car. It was also learned that he had been drinking. The body of Bartholomew was found lying near the exhaust of the car; all doors to the garage were closed.
