Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Nov 29.-The direct
examination Of Judge John w. Williams, in
the Cadwallader embezzlement case, was
concluded to-day. and the bankers lawyers
will take the witness in hand in the MORN
ing and attempt to break down his evidence.
The leading facts brought out by the State
to-day were that numerous overdrafts, aside
from those detailed yesterday, were made
by Cadwallader in person. by his father,
Nathan Cadwallader, and by various indi-
viduals and firms with which the defend
ant was associated in business. At one
time, in the course of his career as cashier
of the bank. the defendant had issued on
the Irving National Bank of New York,
draft for $1,000 in favor of r. Kirshbaum &
Co, of Union City, in payment of a debt
due to that firm, but in charging himself
on the books of the bank. Cadwallader had
charged the draft at S. instead of $1,000.
The State, over the vigorous opposition of
the defense, introduced the book-entry made
by Cadwallader as well as the original
draft

ELWOOD, Ind, Nov. ga queer polti-
cal situation has been brought about as a
result of the recent election. In this town
ship five Republican justices of the peace
and three constables were elected and were
to take charge of their offices as soon as
they could qualify. In several of the pre-
cincts the total vote showed the Republic
ans voting their state and township tickets
straight, but scratching their county tick
cts in such a manner that the four most
important offices, treasurer, clerk. sheriff
and prosecutor, were thrown to the Demo-
Gratis. In one or two precincts the total
vote looked suspicious and Republicans be-
gan an investigation, the matter finally be-
ing referred to the federal court. The con-
test thus pending has made it impossible
for the new justices of the peace to take
their seats and the terms of the old Off

TELEPHONES In FINLAND.
Native of the Country Is Here to
Get New Ideas.

Klas Weman, of Helsingfors, Finland is
In the city looking over the telephone
plants. He was seen at the Grand Hotel
last night Mr. Weman said he had been
in this country about a month, visiting New
York, Boston, Buffalo and other Eastern
cities. From here he will go to ST. Louis,
and then to New York. After leaving his
home, and before coming to the United
States, Mr.. Weman visited European coun-
tries-part of Germany France and Eng
land-looking at their telephone systems.
He represents large company that is about
to put in a new plant, and incidentally will
gather information for the use of Russian
engineers, friends of his in the employ of
the Russian government, which is about
to assume control of the telephone business.
Il have been very much pleased with this
country" said Mr. Weman 1.-The men are
so obliging; they aid you in every way,
show you everything and promise to let you
have whatever you want. There is some
humbuggery," he added, with a laugh. ''Ev-
cry man tells you he has the best. But I
like the way Americans go about things,
they do not seem to be hindered by diff
culties. And then they are so obliging. In
Germany the telephone business is con-
trolled by the government. You cannot
be permitted to see anything without per-
mits from the highest authorities, and then
there are men standing about to watch what
you do. 1t is not so here.
Mr.. Weman is himself an expert civil
engineer, with many years experience. He
says that they have an excellent long-dis-
lance service in Finland, at rates that sur
prise the men in this country, when he
names them. "Tbey say they do not see
how we can live at such prices" said he,
but then you know, living is cheaper
there. Yes, wages are cheaper. Twenty
cents there is equal to a dollar here so that
where man is paid 80 here in Finland his
pay would be 60 cents" While the long-dis-
lance service there is satisfactory, he says
that the instruments, equipment and every
thing OF that sort is much the best here of
any he has seen. At present Mr.. Weman is
investigating the underground conduit sys-
TEN. He has inspected the plant of the
Central Union Company and to-day will
visit that of the New Telephone Company.
