Iowa Bank Failure.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 22.-The
German Savings bank, the second
largest bank in the city in point Of
deposits, closed its doors this
morning at II O'Clock. A notice
posted on the doors states that the
bank is in the hands of the as
signee, Harry Blackburn, who
only two weeks ago became its
cashier. Francis Genesee is pres
ident and his son, ]. w. Genesee,
cashier up to two weeks ago, is
vi-e-president. The banks capital
is $50, 900, which il was about to
increase to SIS, 600, as its deposits
were up to the legal limit for the
present capital.
The bank owed depositors at its
last report on the 9th inst. s5s4,-
I5S, and its assets were s66I, ,o4o.
The failure was great surprise.
Chairman Martin, Of the Clear
ing House association, gave out
the following statement:
"The Clearing House committee
went over the German banks af-
fairs yesterday and this morning
and il was decided that it was not
best to grant its application for aid
and the request was denied. The
trouble was that the bank loaned
too closely and kept too little cash
for emergencies"
The German Savings bank was
organized in 1893.

, Nebraska Expects Nothing.

New York, Jan. "a. Ex-United
States Seuator Manderson, of Ne
braska, in an interview with re-
porter of the United Associated
Presses, said that it was by no
means probable that Nebraska
would be represented in the Cab
met. ~-~z-..
With regard to what might be
expected from. the populist legisla-
ture of Nebraska he said he thought
that it would ut indulge in drastic
measures. The populises realize
that they are on trial and with an
eye to the future it is safe to say
that Governor Holcomb and Sena-
tor Allen, who are both strong in
the populist councils, will check
any radical tendencies. He says
that conditions in Nebraska are
improving.

The Beet Sugar Industry.

The product Of beet sugar in the
whole world for 1896 was about
4, 500, 600 tons. THIS, with the
exception Of only about 80, 900, 900
pounds produced in the United
States, was produced by Europe.
California has three beet sugar
factories; Nebraska two, while
Utah, Wisconsin and New Mexico
have one each. The South, which
is best adapted to beet culture, has
not a single factory. Virginia,
which has the climate and the sol
unequaled for this crop, has not a
single factory, and it could profta'
bay operate a dozen or twenty. fhe
United States consumes over a.
600, 900, 900 pounds Of sugar, Z
larger portion of which is i'm
ported. Virginia farmers have Z
great future il they only grasI
their opportunity in the cultivation
! Of the sugar beet. There is M
crop in Virginia that will give th'
equal results to the farmers.

New York, Jan. 81. Judge Fitz
| gerald, in General Session toda,
] handed down the decision over
| ruling the demurrer to the indict
ment for conspiracy against tn,
| American Tobacco Company. Til,
opinion discusses generally the Law
touching upon conspiracy by ;
corporation. The defendants il
the indictment are officers of til,
company. They are: Jar,es B.
/ Duke, Vim. H. Butler, n. A
Marburg, Lewis Ginter & c j, Geo
w. Watts, Josiah Brown anc
Charles G. Emery.
The indictments were filed or
complaint of the officers of the Ma.
tional Tobacco Company, who are
Itbe E1RKesSof 4 nvaI, brand Of ci-
Cigarettes, and .wefe found under the
anti Trust law Of 1906. BY ne
fdrvieien- Of Judge Fitzgerald the
directors and officers niusrsrunsi
trial. At the outset of the opinion
Judge Fitzgerald writes: "The in
dictment charges conspiracy, alleg-
ing that the defendants were off,
GERS and agents of the American
Tobacco company, which company
manufactured the greater portion
of the cigarettes vended in the
United States and that it was i'm
possible for wholesalers and jobbers
to carry on their business without
dealing with the company; and in
order to monopolize the entire bus
mess of making and vending ciga-
rettes, the defendants unlawfullv,
conspired to commit an act inju-
rious to trade and commerce.
In over-ruling the demurers,
Judge Fitzgerald says that in the
opinion of the court, individuals
cannot shield themselves from the
consequences of wrongdoing by
pleading that their wrongful acts
were corporate ones. The crimi-
nal liability of corporation must
be considered in a different manner
from the civil liability. Criminal
int1nt was one of the essential ele-
ments in a conspiracy.
"There are some acts for which
indictments will lie against corpo-
rations. ~ @~~
"These acts," writes the Judge,
81 think have been so far limited
to acts of misfeasance and non
isfeasance. Of course, upon proof
=. unlawful acts, it would rot be
4id that all the members "ompos-
-Elg rzlsai uisz-rnrIaorafe, are crjmin-
ally liable. This association being
lawful, no presumption can arise
against any of them from the fact
Of such association. But if two or
more, or all Of them, enter into an
unlawful agreement, they cannot
be allowed to plead their lawful
association for certain purposes in
bar of prosecution for unlawful
combination"
To rule that the officers and
agents Of corporation are relieved
from individual criminal liz pility
for all they may do under tn dor.
Of corporate acts would amr mt in
many cases to a suspension vi the
law. !" -.- -
In conclusion, the decision says:
"If the proof in this case at bar
should establish the allegations of
the indictment, might not. the re-
fusal to sell to iobbers and dealers
except upon the required condi-
tions, be properly found to consti-
tute menace, coerce and intimation.

prevail" He said that our con-
munity was composed Of patriots
who were determined that no un-
due influence might 60 out from
this meeting, and that the law
should be enforced. We should
support the laws as handed down

hat no blame is attached to Judge

a rushing business is being done by the
railroad men at Ogden in getting the En-
deayorer trains started westward. Be-
tween o'clock last night and Z this
m ornlng eleven trains, comprising total
of Ill cars, had been sent out. As the
cars average about thirty-fve people each
i. Will be seen there are 1886 persons
aboard These details were given pub
licity by the Southern Pacific yesterday.
1t is the idea to run these and other
trains through to this City in about thirty.
two hours. The trains will begin arriving
here this morning between 6 and o'clock.
Two of the eleven trains are the regular
No. 4, and the nine others were sent out
an hour apart.
The regular train from Ogden yester-
day, which should have arrived here al
1915 A. NJ, arrived in two sections at
O'Clock, SIX hours late. There were almost
no Endeavorer, OH board. The travellers
were all kinds of people. Many CT them
were business men, while others were
prosperous farmers and others were en-
gagged in various other pursuits.
After 7 o'clock yesterday morning no
less than thirteen trains comprising 1877
cars were forwarded up to o'clock last

ably fully 5000 persons.
