TAKES MORE EVIDENCE.
Grand Jury Investigating Milwaukee
Bank Failures.

Milwaukee, Sept. 6.-The grand jury
got down to work this morning and the
investigation of the condition of the
South Side Savings bank was continu-
ed. 1t had been decided to drop for a
few days the matter of requiring Viii
liam Plankinton to appear with all
the books of the Plankinton bank.
Meanwhile the jury will devote it's
attention to the South Side bank and
for the present no attempt will be
made to enforce the presence of John
3. Koetting. 1t has been decided that
the jury shall go ahead and collect all
the evidence possible regarding the al
legged insolvency of the South Side
bank. Then if the attendance of Cash
ier kOetting can be enforced, he will
be asked to explain the points which
the jury has picked up in hearing the
tales Of woe of the depositors. If Mr.
KOetting be unable to give satisfactory
explanations, some indictments will
probably be returned.
Receiver Barth, Of the South Side
Savings bank, was the first witness
called by the grand jury this morning.
Mr.. Barth gave an exhaustive review
Of the condition of the South Side bank
when he took charge and his examina-
ton lasted all morning.
II. S. Kopmeier, teller of the South
Side Savings bank, who is brother-in-
law Of Koetting, was the next witness
After his examination a number of de-
pOsitors who left their money at the
bank under rather peculiar conditions
We're examined. It is expected that
some interesting information will be
drawn out on this line before he in
vestigatiOn ends, for some strange tales
have been told regarding KOetting's
refusal to take certain deposits from
friends and his accepting the money of
others up to the last minute on the
day the bank failed.
No attempt will be made to investigate
the condition of the other defunct banks |
in the city until the South Side matter
has been thoroughly sifted.

Referring to President Cleveland
Stewart said it is a sad thing for the
American people that in his early life

laboring men and farmers, that he
might SympathiZe with them. Cleve-

was in the Mills building, New York,

of European influence. He sympathiZ-
ed with his surroundings and his sur
roundings were unfortunate for the
American people. Cleveland'S organs,
said Stewart, constantly praised him
for the use of federal patronage to Sc
cure destruction of all legislation that
pointed to silver. Il do not charge him
with it," said Stewart, drawing him.

HENRY G. PAYNE STRICKEN.
Laid Low by What Appears to Be
ApopleXy-DoingW Well

Milwaukee, Sept. Henry G.. Payne
was attacked with what appeared to
be an apOplectic fit on a st. Paul road
train while coming to Milwaukee from
Chicago this morning.
Mr.. Payne had been conversing with
friends on the train and appeared to
be in his usual health. About three
miles from Western Union Junction
he was suddenly attacked. He lost
consciousness and remained in that
condition until the city was reached.
From Western Union Junction his
friends telegraphed to Milwaukee and
Drs. Brown and Richards met him at
the Union depot when the train reach
ed here at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Payne was carried to carriage
and conveyed Immediately to his home
attended by the doctors.
DR.. Brown made hasty examination
at the depot when Mr.. Paine arrived
and stated that in his opinion the at
tack was not very serious.
The news of Mr.. Payne's illness
friends who heard of it. For over a
year he has not been regarded as a
well man. In fact, year ago he was
warned that unless he got rid of
some of his cares his health would give
way.

CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY'S
TRADE GREATLY IMPROVED.
REPORTS ISSUED
BY DUN AND BRADSTREET.
The Improvement Has Extended From
the Banks to the Mi1ls-Moyement
Will Continue-Money Markets
Healthy-Premium on Currency
VaniShes-FeWer Failures.

New York, Sept. S.-R. 6. Dun &
Co.'S review of trade says that improve
ment has extended from the banks to
the mills. The condition of the great
Industries is distinctly mending.
More important by far than any rise
in stocks is the fact that more works
have resumed during the past week
than stopped operation, so the pro-
ducing force Of the country, after
months Of constant decline, has begun
to increase.
Money markets are more healthy.
The premium on currency has vanished.
Embarrassment in domestic exchanges
have well nigh disappeared and while
very little money is yet available for
commercial or industrial loans, there
is some relief in that respect also.
Soft steel reached the lowest point
on record, $50 at Pittsburg, and all rail
mills in the country are idle. The sales
of wool are the lowest on record, l.
271,OOO pounds being sold at the prin-
cipal markets the last week, against
1916, 800 for the same week last year.
That the volume of trade is small
of late is not surprising. Exchanges
through the principal clearing houses,
outside of New York, continue to show
a large decrease in comparison with
last year. Although several banks
which were forced to stop in July and
August resumed this week, the nu-
merous failures of the two months have
thrown into confusion the calculations
of merchants and compelled them to
curtail operations.
The failures for the week were 1913
against 3S5 last week. While one
large mortgage company swells the ag-
gregate of liabilities for the week, the
average of other failures is lower than
usual, 262 being for less than $500
each and only four for over 100000
each.

WHERE ARE THE UNEMPLOYED: :

Chicago Journal-Day after day the
appeals with less effort to the sympa-
thieS and purses of the charitably
minded. 1t has been discovered that
able-bodied men who prefer to live
on the earnings Of others constitute
the bulk of the applicants for food at
the free dispensary on the West Side.
The registration of men willing to
work on the drainage canal ran only
slightly over 1000. Notices We're sent
to 400 of these to start for the canal
this morning. Only $50 appeared.
There is work for 200 more now and for
others later.
1t is time that the free distribution
of food ceased. Some plan of employ
ing the subscriptions of the charitable
in a more profitable way should be
adopted. Let it be paid out for work
on the streets, which need cleaning
more palpably than some of the un-
employed need employment, rather
than into soup kettles. The distribu-
ton of food, clothes and money gratis.
except in the cases Of absolute ina
bility to work, fosters the most dan
gerous kind of pauperism, and should
be avoided even at the risk of appear
ing to disregard the distress Of the
needy. The charity that takes the
form of wages honors alike him that
gives and Linn that takes.

MORE INTEREST.
The Cases Against ex-Treasurers Kuehn
and Baetz Still Up.

In the supreme court yesterday morn
ing the cases of the state against eX-
Treasures Kuehn and Baetz, to recov-
er interest received by them on public
funds deposited in banks during their
incumbency, were called for argument
upon the question Of the latitude of
examination to which the defendants
might be subjected before a court COM
missioner and previous to trial. Judge
Siebecker denied the motion of Messrs.
Winkler, Flanders, Smith, Bottum &
Villas, attorneys for the defense, either
to forbid or to limit the scope of the
examination, and an appeal was taken
to the supreme court. r. M. Bashford
argued the case for the state. 1t was
submitted by the defense on case and
briefs. Mr.. Bashford held that under
section 1906, permitting the examina-
ton of adverse parties in civil actions,
the state had a perfect right to fully
inquire Of the defendants and their
bondsmen respecting the amounts OF
state money deposited by them in banks
and the interest received.

ALL IS LOVELY.

Business Transacted by the Normal
School Regents.
The state board OF normal school
regents met in its rooms at the capitol
yesterday, being called together prin-
cpally for the purpose of looking into
the condition of it's finances, a circular
having been sent out stating that the
accounts had been overdrawn. On this
account the work of repairing the Osh-
kOsh normal school, costing about 49,
600, had been discontinued. Happily,
however, it was discovered that the
circular erred, and the work at Osh-
kosh has been ordered continued. The
board was to examine architects plans
for the new normal schools, but adj
journed without doing so. The meet
ing will be continued at 10 o'clock
this morning when the work will be
taken up. All plans submitted before
were rejected by the boards committee
appointed to examine them.

DR.. Keenan's many trends are sur
prised at this piece of news, to say the
least. The doctor, although he admits
he applied for a foreign position, was
not prepared for so early an announce
ment of the appointment. The position
he had first hoped to set was the vi
emma cOnSulShip, and when that was
out of his reach he tried for consu at
Dresden. Kehl was next to Dresden
and here his luck changed. DR.. Keenan,
has had excellent champions for his
cause, including Senator Villas, Justices
Pinney and Orion, and Senator Mitch
ell is also said to have promised to do
what he could. That DR.. Keenan, does
not need the job, from a financial point
of view, is we'll known, but he wanted it
and there is no one who can say that
he is not the right man for the posi-
ton. Although not active in politics,
Dr. keenan, is staunch and deserving
democrat.
Kehl is a city of about 5000 inhabi-
tants, opposite Strasburg, on the
Rhine The consulate there pays a
salary of $1,5OO per year, while the fees
during 1892 amounted to S2,41S, swell
ing the total to about $1,000 per year.
! DIR. Keenan, was raised in Dane coun-
! ty, living until he neared his maturity
on a farm near Oregon. He attended
the state university several years and
completed his medical education
abroad. For about two years he has
been engaged in the practice Of medi-
cine in Madison, and has been very
successful and popular. He is to be
welded to Miss Mary Kelly, Of Tacoma,
Wash, about the Goth inst.
