C. J. DEVLIN'S AFFAIRS. Creditors WILL Advance Money to Keep Mines at Work. TOPEKA, Kan., July 7.-"The Santa F6 Railway Company will not take part in the management of the coal mines which are involved in the failure of C. J. Devlin," said Clifford Husted, attorney for Devlin, to-day. "The creditors will advance money to carry on the mines and the payment of the miners' wages in the southern Kansas coal fields for a time. The Santa Fé is interested only in seeing that coal is furnished them as before. Forty thousand dollars will be advanced by the creditors. "The Illinois miners have just been paid off and nothing will be due for two weeks to come. We hope with the appointment of a receiver the mines will become successfully reestablished." Cyrus Leland of Troy, Kan.. and J. E. Hurley, general manager of the Santa F6 Railway system, were to-day appointed temporary receivers of the properties of C. J. Devlin, which were placed in voluntary bankruptcy on Thursday night. A bond of $25,000 is required. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 7.-The First State Bank of Argentine, Kan., & suburb of Kansas City, was subjected to a run this morning because of the failure of Charles J. Devlin. The bank is a branch of the Bank of Commerce of this city, which has over $30,000,000 on deposit. Devlin owes the Bank of Commerce about $100,000 and the run is said to be due to the fear that the Devlin failure will hurt the parent bank.
