the Times illustrates the art of bank scut-
Ting. He admitted his profits =" from the

900; that he shaved the notes of his own
firm at per cent rediscounted them for
his bank at Is per cent, and as President
took from his firm an average of Is per
cent. on loans secured by fictitious con-
tracts which were charged in such a way

Claiming to have succeeded TO the owner
ship OF an interest of One-siXth in the CO.
partnership formed in 1895 by Leland
Stanford and Charles Croker with others
whose names he does not know. Erwin
Davis, of Rye, Westminster county. has
begun suit in the Supreme Court To recover
his proportion Of the profits OF the ventures
of the alleged copartnership. His attorney,
W, c. CULVER served a summons in the
suit on Stanford at the Windsor Hotel on
March 3lst. A. Davis Is in quandary rs
10 who should be made co-defendants with
Stanford he proposes to extract from the
latter. if possible, the information neces-
Sary for framing his complaint. About
week ago he got from Judge Van Brilnt an
order directing Stanford 10 appear in the
Supreme Court chambers and state who
were the original members of the copart-
nership and other connected matters. This
order was based on the affidavit in which
Davis averrcd that the copartncrship was
formed in lS5S. for the purpose OF building
line of railway. with branches and aux
ilary works and that the Central Pacific
Railway was one of the results of their
labors.
The order of Judge Van Bruut directed
Stanford to appear yesterday. but on Mon
day his attorney. Charles H. Tweed. pro-
cured from Judge Barrett an order 10 Davis
TO show cause why the order for Stanford 5
examination should not be vacated. The
new order was based on an affidavit i'll
which Stanford denied that any such CO.
partnership had ever been formed, and in
sisted that his denial should be a bar TO the
execution of the order for his examination.
as he believed it would be a bar 10 the pro-
secutiou Of suit based on the allegation
that there was such Il partnership. After
argument by Joseph H. Choate tor Davis,
and Francis y. Bangs for Stanford, yester-
day, Judge Beach took the case under adj

and the Atchs1n Topeka and Santa Fc, rs
10 how tonnage. under the proposed cont
binatian called the Atlantic and Pacific
fast freight. should be proportional, this
line has not set gone into active operation.
Inquiries ii several freight offices failed to
throw any light on the time il would start
up. 1t seems that the proposed comb;na-
ton was intended TO include the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago
and Alton roads. The latter road has also
a connection running from 81. Louis Ia
Kansas City, but As the haul from Chicago
10 Kansas City would bc much longer. and
productive of more revenue, the energies
OF these two roads Will be directed 10 secur-
ing business by way OF Chicago. This, of
course would leave the St Louis and san
Francisco road ont in the cold. ana as part

condition OF affairs. In the mean time the
new line from Chicago via Omaha and the
Union Pacific Railroad runs on schedule
