# BANK WRECKER IN SOUTH BEND?
Chicago Police Hunting For
Max Silver in North-
ern Indiana.
Max Silver, wrecker of the two
Chicago banks of Adolph Silver &
Co., who disappeared from Chicago
a week ago with nearly $100,000 of
the depositors' funds, is supposed to
be in South Bend, Goshen or on a
farm in northern Indiana, Investi-
gators for the Central Trust Co. of
Chicago, receiver for the banks, and
detectives of State's Atty. Hoyne's
office are said to be scouring north-
ern Indiana for the missing banker
and a woman, who is thought to be
with hirs.
The Chicago detectives apparent-
ly are making their searches with-
out the help of the police depart-
ments of South Bend or Goshen,
for the heads of both denied any
knowledge of the fact that the in-
vestigators were in this vicinity.
Word from Chicago Saturday morn-
ing said that the Chicago police
were making a vigorous search in
northern Indiana and particularly
around South Bend and Goshen.
According to the Chicago dis-
patch, the police received a tip that
Silver, with his brother-in-law,
Charles S. Jackson, were in Goshen,
but Jackson was located there, but
there was no sign of the missing
banker. Detectives working on the
case believe that the two were to-
gether.
Woman Is Known.
The woman, who is supposed to
be with Silver, is known by the
police. Her departure from Chi-
cago preceded his by about three
days, according to the story told to
investigators by a maid in the
woman's employ. She was married,
but frequently went to cafes with
Silver, according to the Chicago
police.
Mrs. Silver is preparing to file a
suit for divorce from her missing
husband on the grounds of infidel-
ity, it is understood. She was ask-
ed if she would not wait two years
and charge abandonment, but her
attorney said that infidelity charges
probably would be filed immediate-
ly.
# DISCUSSION SHIFTS TO COUNTER PROPOSALS OF ROAD PRESIDENT
Negotiations Approaching Final Stage a
Employe's Representives Draw Up Forma
Notice of Strike---Executives Plan to
Appeal to Rank and File.
# PRES'T WILSON STILL REMAINS HOPEF
International News Service:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 26.-
An atmosphere of gravity today
surrounded negotiations for the set-
tlement of the impending nation-
wide railroad strike, as the discus-
sions shifted to the basis of the
counter propositions evolved by the
railroad heads. The situation was
described as serious, but by no
means hopeless, as the railroad
presidents and managers submitted
their new settlement proposal to
Pres't Wilson for consideration by
the representatives of the four rail-
way brotherhoods.
Both sides had made final prep-
arations for a strike emergency to-
day. The representatives of the
brotherhoods had drawn up the
formal notice of strike, to be served
on the railroad executives at the
very moment it appears that a
peaceful settlement is impossible.
They were likewise prepared with
formal strike orders to be carried
back to the men by the 640 district
representatives now in Wasaington.
The railroad executives, through
their general managers, had taken
every precaution to meet the strike
order. They prepared to appeal
from the brotherhood representa-
the president by the railroad
ecutives. The brotherhood re
sentatives were notified to meet
president at noon, while the ex
tives' call was earlier in the day
Both Sides Meet.
The presidents' executive co
mittee of eight went into session
9:20 o'clock for final considera
of the counter proposal.
At 10 o'clock the entire att
ance of presidents and mana
went into executive session for
fication of the proposal. It was
nounced that the text of the
posal would be made pubic as
as ratified and in the presid
hands.
The brotherhood representa
went into session at 9:20 to
things over."
"We are standing pat on om
ceptance of the president's pr
sition." said Pres't Garretso
the conductors. "We know not
about any counter propositi, n
cepting what we have read in
newspapers."
