/, busy, in fact, to SO to court, 80 he
rang UP the recorder on the telephone
and pleaded guilty. "Fined $1O." said
the recorder. "All right" was the mer-
chants reply. 'Ill send up the money
right away. Good-by." This looks like
the thin end of the wedge. It is evil
dent that the witnesses can be exam
ined over the telephone, and possibly
jurymen may come to hear cases in the
same manner. Under the influence of

while he dictates letters to his type

BANK INVESTIGATION.

Grand Jury Sitting the Affairs of a
Dcfunct Helena Institution.
Helena, Mont, Dec. 10.-The federal
grand jury is now busily engaged in
investigating the recent failure of the
First National bank of this city. At
the time the bank failed ugly rumors
were circulated alleging fraud and
crookedness, and it was hoped the
matter would be properly investigated.
The grand jury evidently intends sift-
ing the matter to the bottom, as bank
officials are being summoned one by
one. The latest arrival is George +.
Cape, from Missouri. former cashier.
Many claim the bank had never been
insolvent since 1t resumed again after
its failure three years ago.

taking up the immigration bill and
partly perfecting 1t, and also hearing
the first II the speeches on Cuba
those Of Mr.. Cullom and Mr.. Call. a
disposition to put through the ilnmi-
grafton bill was shown by the defeat
of a motion by Mr.. Gibson Of Mary
land to postpone the measure until
after the holidays. Only thirteen votes
all Democrats-wereg given in favor
of the p0stpOnement. The proposition
served to involve Messrs. Chandler,
Lodge and Gibson in several spirited
personal c0lloquies. The merits of the
immigration question were discussed
IN q general way on several proposed
amendments, Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Palm
er suggesting that limits should be put
on the restrictions, while Mr.. Lodge
and Mr.. Chandler urged that the re-
strictions be sweeping in character.
The bill was not passed upon ut the
time of adjournment, but the senate
agreed to what is generally known as
the Lodge bill as substitute to the
house measure. The substitute requires
that all immigrants over tie age of IA
years shall he able to read and write
their native language and shall be re-
quired to read and write in the pres
ence of United Stetes official ut least
five lines of the United States constitu-
ton. The Cuban speeches of Mr.. Gull
lom and Mr.. Call were listened to by
crowded galleries, indicating the pub
lie interest felt in this subject.
The house passed a bill which the
prominent playwrights and theatrical
managers of the country have been la
boring for some years to induce con.
gress to pass. The purpose of the
measure is two-fold. First, to secure

measure Of protection under the copy
right law as is afforded productions of
strictly dramatic character; and, sec
ond, to add by proper court injunction
processes this protection to the authors
of dramatic and operate works. The
bill imposes fine of 500 for the first
and $50 for each subsequent unauthor-
lied production.
