purchased cotton will lose anything.
Fleming, Thomas 81 Co., bankers. carried
all their paper. and Potter & Co. have as
signed all their assets to the bank to protect
Il against loss. The bankers saw they are
protected, and as nobody else is financially

the figures TO the public. An effort
is being made TO bridge over the
trouble end put Potter q Co. on their feet

causes OF embarrassment. Henri Ernst,

Tolleson Trial

The Alleged Offense Committed at the
Tolleson Trial
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. S-John 81. James,
the well-known banker and ex-mayor of this
city, was indicted to-day by the grand jury
for perjury. The indictment grows out OF
the Tolleson case. When Tolleson was be-
Ing tried before Judge Marshall J. Clarke
In a contempt proceedings Mr.. James was
one of the witnesses. He was asked among
other things, il he had made any agreement,
verbally or in writing, with any one about
furnishing testimony against Mr.. Tolleson.
Mr.. James reply was: mo" Afterward
Mr.. James brought into court an agreement
in writing. in which he had agree to fur
nish testimony or information.
AN AGREEMENT PRODUCED.
Judge Hopkins, Tolleson's attorney, who
put the question TO Banker James, was be-
fore the grand jury this morning as one of
the witnesses. The agreement referred to
was between Banker James and Col. N. J.
Hammond, who represented the Citizens
Bank of Louisville. According to its
terms Mr.. James agreed to tell
Col. Hammond where $1,000 of Tolle-
sons hidden assets were, provided the
money if discovered would be placed to his
account on a claim against Toueson's de-
funct bank. This money was subsequently
found in James bank. Banker James
claims that the finding Of the bill Is due to
the malicious work of some Of his deposit
tors who lost money when he failed several
years ago. 1t is expected that sensational
developments will be made before the case
is disposed of.

TO SAVE THE FRUIT.
HUNDREDS OF BUSHELS GOING
TO WASTE.
A Meeting to Be Held to Discuss
Ways and Means for Disposing of
1t at Proft-Everybody Invited.

1t is not often that Kansas suffers
from an over supply Of fruit such as is
the gift of nature this year. The trees
and vines of the county are fairly
loaded to their utmost capacity and un-
less there is devised some means OF
dispOsing of the abundance hundreds
of bushels of cherries, berries aid
other fruit will be wasted. The stores
cannot afford to pay price that will
much more than pay for the picking
and many are allowing the fruit to
remain on the trees aud waste,
The fruit growers are anxious about
the matter and a meeting has been
called for the afternoon of Saturday,
July Is, to be held in the court room at
2 p. 10. to discuss ways and means for
properly disposing of the mammoth
yield. Committees will be selected to
find markets, etc. and it is possible
that an organization will be formed to
take charge of fruit, ship it and make
returns, Everyone interested in the
matter-and that includes every owner
of fruit tree-is urged to be present.

A FORCED MARCH.
The New Officers of the Detroit Ali
ance are Hustlers.


The Enterprise Journal relates an
interesting story Of the harmony that
prevails in the alliance camp at De-
troit and which admirably shows how
the reform brethren live in peace and
unity one with another. According 10
the journal the regular meeting of the
Detroit alliance for the election Of
officers was called for last week. The
old president and under officers we're
very obnoxious to large majority of
the members on account of their Eav-
ing used their positions 10 scheme for
office Threats were openly made by
the farmers who believed the alliance
was for the benefit of all and not that
of two or three, that they would not
stand such boss-ship another year. So
strong was TIE opposition that it was
fOregone conclusion that the officers
would be ousted.
When the night came and the hour
for meeting, purpOsely made very early,
7:30, the old officers and enough to
make quorum, six in all, were the
only ones on hand. Prompt to the
minute the meeting was called to order
the regular order of business rashed
through and the election of officers
held, all the old officers being declared
reelected, the whole proceeding occu-
plying less than Is minutes.
When the body of the members came
in one by one they took their places
and at length one brother moved that
the election of officers be held. He
was blandly informed that that pro-
ceeding had been finished. There was
CONSERVATION all around but there was
nothing to be done and the volcano
still shoulders.
