IT viii be remembered that some
time ago there was a good sized panic
IN this country, banks were closing
their doors, business h0nses were fail
ing and everything was going to the
dogs. 10 was claimed, and the great
Grover was n OF the claimants, that
all the country needed was the stop
page Of the coinage OF the silver dol
lars to have Confidence resume her
sway and all investments TO be good
again. II may be remembered that
the coinage Of the hard dollars was
stopped, no nor silver was purchased,
but Confidence seemsd a little slow in
getting TO the front. As a matter of
ancient history this IS not very impor-
tant and Is only mentioned to show
that the great Grover Is not always
the wise man he Is supposed 10 be.

COURT,

A"ZA - AN
day after one OF the most successful
sessions Of recent years. The court
accomplished a great deal Of business.
Among the more important cases dis
posed Of besides those mentioned last
week were a large lumber Of cases
brought by Receiver Foster Of the de-
funct banks.
Joe Looper was convicted OF murder
In the second degree and sentenced
to forty years in the p%enitentiary. Yee
Dan, the Chinaman, who was convict
ed Of murder was also given forty
years.
Frank e. Fowle, the tramp who kill
ed a brother tramp at Deming a few
weeks ago, was turned loose by the
grand jury, who concluded he acted
in self defense.
The grand jury refused to find q bill
against Vic Culberson for unlawfully
branding a colt.
salt was commenced by Lucy Say
der, administrator, against w. C.
Tonkln.
An order was entered i~nstructing
the board Of county Commissioner to
apportion and disburse the money IL
legally collected by ex-Sherif Lock
hart.
The grand jury in its report had the.
following to say in regard to the sher-
IFS office and the school superlnten-
dent:
Tine sherir's office is in good condi-
ton. All papers, books and every
thing connected with the Office are
kept in a thoroughly business like and
systematic manner, and Mr.. Laird is
to be congratulated upon having the
services of such an efficient ard ac-
commodatlng book-keeper us Mr.,
Sheridan has proven himself. One
item in the SheriG's office which
should have the particular attention
Of the tax payers and voters at the
next election, and which should also
be brought before the next legislature
is the delinquent tax list, which, at
present, taking the years 'S7, 1913, $50,
$50, 81 and '92 amounts to S45, $50 70
for the County and 500, 402.9 5 for the
Territory, making a grand total OF
$50, 05S.79, which, under the present
laws, it is impossible for the sheriff to
collect, as tax titles are absolutely
worthless. In regard to taxes lille
gally assessed and collected by Mr.
Laird, amounting to 81, 756. 10, less his
commission, has been ordered by pres
emit court to be turned over to Coun
ty treasurer and by him paid out upon
orders Of County commissioners as a
refund on taxes Illegally assessed and
paid.
We find upon examination that the
superintendent of schools has placed
all the money received from gambling
licenses in the general school fund in
stead Of placing anne to credit Of the
precinct in which it originated, which
unless rectiaed, will cause several of
the precinct boards considerable
trouble. Mr.. Theilmann has prom
ised to get the attorney generals epid
ion, and will hold all money in general
school fund until he receives his
ruling.

CHARGES AGAINST THORNTON.

He Will Have Hearing Before the Board
of Safety To-Morrow Evening
The Board of Public Safety held brief
meeting yesterday morning. at which little
was done but to open and read the charges
which have been preferred against detect
i've Ben Thornton in connection with the
case Of the murder OF Charles Eyster by
the two colored men. Parker and McAfee,
who are now under sentence of death. The
charges are preferred by Superintendent
Colbert, on the representations of patrol
men Ward and Hart, both colored. as is
Thornton. The gist of the complaint is
that Thornton. from some reason or other.
did not believe the men to be guilty. and
that he did all In his pOwe TO hinder their
conviction by the State. Prosecutor Holtz-
man also makes affidavit to the effect that
Thornton, both before the grand jury and
In the court room did what he could to
damage the States evidence. To all OF
these charges Thornton enters most en-
phatic denial. He frankly confesses that he
did not believe that Parker and McAfee
were the right men. but that he tried TO in
lure the case of the State Is false. The board
SGT Wednesday evening, at 7:3O o'clock, for
the trial.
of interest Thornton Is one of the best
known of the police force In the CITY, and
has been credited with beng one of the
ablest detectives on the force. The fact
that the trial comes MP in connection with
the most famous murder trial that the
county has had Tor years will also add in
tercst to it. There will be large number
of witnesses summoned by both sides, and
the case Will be- bitterly fought. The
animus of il oil is attributed to q jealousy
which has sprung mp between tho o0lorcd
members of the force, aud It Is not believed
by many that Thornton Will be severely
dealt with.
Thornton said yesterday that he had no
fosTs about the outcome of the case. a1d
that the charges against him were ms-
licious and false.
The board granted police powers to the
following: Is. ". McGettigan. foreman of
street repairs; A. O.. Sanborn, Edward
burns and John Gulick. health officers, and
William Whitigar. for the corner of Ken
lucky avenue and Georgia street.

of the day.
Together with Mr.. Mason. they paid Wis.
it's to the points in the city where the work
of extension is going on. and at his of
fee they discussed the completion of
the new lines Both of the gentle
men and Mr.. Mason said that their
being here was for no other purpose
than to simply look over the plant and to
offer some advice about tho manner of con-
Quoting its routine affairs They SAID that
hey ond that they had no business what
ever. and that there was nothing to say
about the directory ship or the officials of
the company. r. L. Mcdonald. another Of
the heavy stockholders, was expected IN
the city, but did not arrive. 1t was at first
reported that he would be here at 8 o'clock.
then at b, and later in the evening Sterling
X. Holt said that he would not be here
at all. 1t is altogether likely, however,
that be will meet the other members of the
company here to-day. There is some BUSH
ness of Importance which is to be dispcced
from a former meeting. and. owing to the
sickness of Mr.. Werner. has never been
brought mp since he being unable to ct
tend any meeting OF the directory.
These gentlemen coming here az the pres
emit time would indicate that these matters
are to be taken up now. and they will
probably be Joined by Mr.. Mcdonald. The
matters of business referred to are the SET
thing of the question of the presidency
whether Mr.. Mason shall be retained or
whether it will be given to Tom Taggart
and the adding to the directory q mum Der
of Indianapolis citizens who will be q
great addition to it's strength.

HAS REOPENED IT'S DOORS.
Public Confidence in the Capital Ma
tional Bank Well Demonstrated.
No Indications of Run, and Deposits Came
Close Up to the Withdrawals
Officials Well Satisfied.

The suspended Capital National Bank
opened for business promptly at o'clock
yesterday morning. ana when the curtains
were pulled down at the usual hour In the
evening, the total amount of the deposits
received during the day almost equaled
the amount of the Withdrawals. It was an
unusual circumstance in the history of sus-
pended banks resumlng. and il speaks VOL
umes for the general business confidence In
Indianapolis. The bank had sS00. 900 In cash
ready to pay out If demanded. but the
Withdrawals did not exceed one-renth this
sum. AT no time was there q heavy run.
not over twenty-five people being in line
at the paying teller's window at one period
of the morning In the afternoon it seemed
that the bank was transacting it's usual
volume of business. The heaviest demands
of the day were from small depositors and
people who had received checks on the
bank just before the suspension.
Bank Examiner Hugh ioung turned She
institution over to the officials at o'clock.
for at that hour his supervision ended.
There were hardly half dozen deposi.
tors at the doors at that hour and the first
man to withdraw his deposit was q labor
ing man. Like others who followed him,
he explained that he had confidence in the

PLANTATION Of those who took out the sums
they had in the bank. Within ten minutes
after the opening the line of depositors In
creased TO fifteen, and about that time men
began to come In TO make deposits ana show
their confidence in the institution and It's
new management Many of these were
South Merldian-street merchants. Other
depositors came. and after sizing up the sit
uation. went away without asking for their
money. On the paying teller's desk were
huge heaps of green backs and coin. When
ever the crowd threatened to become large
o second paying teller was put to work,
and in this manner the line was thinned
out at rapid rate. The light
run lasted about an hour. At
noon Examiner Young stated that
the bank had paid out about $4,000 and
had received IN deposits about $4,000. He
was surprised that the demands were not
greater, and intimated that Ii would have
been better If the small depositors had,
for the most part. been paid of at once.

President Byram was much Gratifed at
the outcome. He said the deposits far eX-
ceeded his antioipatIOns. One of the de-
pOsits amounted to $4,000. He said the
bank had not yet considered the matter OF
entering the clearing house association. A
policy will be determined upOn as soon as
the bank gets in good working order.

ture. Tony Murphy, man who has already

teotive on Wabash street. about IL O'clock,
and took to his heels. MoGuff gave chase.
and as the fugitive turned up Delaware
street the detective fired in the ait and
Murphy fell. Pedestrians thought the man
was shot, and Murphy himself thought
likewise. but he was merely scared. A big
crowd gathered around him while MoGutf
slipped handouts on him. Murphy is sup
posed TO have been one of the gang that
picked pockets at the German Orphans
Home dedication exercises on Sunday. Mo-
Cuff and Kinney saw the gang ont there,
but were unable TO catch any of the men,
