The proceedings were of a very quiet
nature yesterday. and the jurymen and
even some Of the lawyers came very near
drifting off into a nap. The jurymen seem
to take very little interest in the case.
In fact, there is so much Greek, Latin

drilled lawyer is expected to get into the
intricacies of some of the proceedings.

Milwaukee Sentinel: \ new style OF

the past month. His business is to So
licit deposits for the New York banks
from the merchants OF the country. His
advent into the commercial world was
heraIded by numerous circular letters
sent out by the banks OF the Empire
City soliciting business. He is an out
growth Of a change in the rules o. the
New York clearing-h house. When busi-
ness became depressed the merchants,
manufacturers and business men gem
orally began paying their obligations
in distant cities with checks upon tasi
local banks, where they had before
that time used drafts upon New YorA
or other eastern banks. The plan
proved SO convenient that it was con
tinued and grew TO immense proper
tions. In the dull times the New York
banks were glad to get these checks in
deposit from the wholesalers and
others Of that city, and they sent them
to the local banks for collection, pay

so large had the business grown. As
a result of this the New York clear
ing-house changed its rules, so that
the banks were obliged to charge eX-
change on these personal checks, ana
imposing a fine of $1,000 on the bank
thai failed to observe the rule. III
view of this the New York banks are
sending out circulars and agents 10
the leading merchants of the city urg-
ing them to open accounts with them.
Of course the local bankers do not like
this kind of business, and it is not
likely that they will feel under the
same obligation TO accommodate those
concerns who split up their accounts III

to call a meeting and charge Chicago

FROM HORSESHOE MARKS
AN ARREST WHICH LED tt A DE-
CATUR TOWNSHIP DAMAGE SUIT.
The SheeIeys Charge Reuben Bailey
with Malicious Prosecution
PIumbers' Trust Defense.

The damage suit of Jesse and Francis
Shelley against Reuben Bailey. which went
TO trial yesterday in Room 3, Superior
Court, is attracting considerable attention
In Decatur township. and a great many peo-
pie from that township are attending the
trial. The Shelleys are brothers. and a year
ago they lived in Decatur township. On the
night of Oct. 30, 1898, Reuben Bailey's mill,
situated not a long distance from the Shell
ley home, was broken into and some tools
were stolen. The theft was not discovered
until the following morning. During the
night 1t had rained, and Bailey and his
~neighbors thought they detected the i'm
print of a horses hoofs about the mill. They
followed the tracks for a considerable dis
lance and finally came to the conclusion
that the horse that had left the shoe marks
belonged to the Shelley brothers. This con-
clusion was arrived at from the fact that
the shoemarks were of a peculiar shape,
and some one remembered that a horse
owned by the Shelleys wore a peculiar shoe.
That night the Shelley brothers were ar
rested. They were given a preliminary
hearing before a justice of the peace, who
discharged them. Suit was then brought in
the Superior Court for damages on account
OF alleged malicious prosecution. II is said
that a day or two after the Shelleys We're
discharged by the justice part of the tools
taken from Bailey's mill were returned.
In the last year the Shelleys have moved
away from Decatur township. Yesterday,
when the attorneys were making up the
jury one of the regular panel, Juror Low
cry, announced that he knew the Shelleys.
He said they were occupying. property
owned by him and that he now has a suit
against them for possession. Juror Lowery

WOES OF "JOE THE TURK"
American Citizen Throw Into Pris-
on by the Ottoman Government.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The attorney for
the Salvation Army has called attention OF
Secretary Hay to the indignities alleged TO
have been heaped on Joseph Garabed, an
ensign of the Salvation Army, known over
the United States as Joe the Turk" who
visited Turkey recently for the purpose of
visiting some of his relatives. On July IL,
1859, he got a passport and necessary pa
pers, which he supposed would protect him
as an American citizen in Turkey, having
been a citizen of this country for more
than eighteen years. On landing, instead
of receiving protection, he says. his pass
was seized py the Turkish authorities and
thrown into jail. By considerable expendi-
ture, Garabed says, he was able to reach
a United States consul. He says the consul
not only refused to protect, but ordered
him to leave the country, as the Turks had
to be incarcerated by the consul in the
American Jail until the consul could place
him aboard a steamer to some foreign port.
Garabed took a Russian steamship and left
the country.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The complaint
made concerning the treatment Of Joe the
Turk" is being investigated by the State
shape that any further Information regard
ing 1t can be made puhlic at this time. Al
legations of improper Conduct by consular
officers and of i'll treatLieut of United States
citizens In foreign counts les frequently find
their way to the State Department and
prompt inquiry Is always made regarding
them. Should the charges against the con-
they would be disciplined and perhaps re-
moved.

Treaty of Pence Signed.

A treaty Of peace was signed tonight
between representatives of the shipping
interests of Kansas City and high officials
OF the Burlington Railroad, thus ending at
least temporarily the long fight over Kan
sas City-Omaha differentials on packing
house products shipped to the Southeast.
A party Of Burlington officials, including
George b. Harris. second vice president,
and general manager, ID. o. Ives, general
freight agent, and o. NJ. Spencer, general
counsel. arrived this morning and held all
day confe- enres with the board of directors
of the Commercial Gu and the general
committee OF the transportation bureau, the
organizations through which nearly 1000
Kansas City shippers formed a boycott
against the Burlington because of the al
legged determinations against the city. The
result Of the conference was that the Bur-
lington agreed to restore the old six-cent
differentials in favor of Kansas City, as
against Omaha. The representatives of the
local shippers signed al agreement not to
oppose the Burlington in it's efforts to
arbitrate the question of differentials to
the Southeast with the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis road. which has cut
Southeastern p~acking-house product rates
to practically nothing in its efforts TO main
tain the six-cent differentials. The ship
pers. whose boycott will now be declared
off, claim to nave carried the day, inasmuch
as the old rates will be restored pending an
indefinite arbitration.

THE PLUMBERS TRUST.
Defense Claims the Recently Enacted
Law Is Unconstitutional.

The constitutionality of a law passed by
the last Legislature is involved in a suit
brought some time ago by the Twentieth
Century Plumbing Company against Knight
& Jillson, the Observation-Disclosures Com
pany and the Comstock & Coonse Com
pany The defendants are dealers in plumb
ers' supplies. The Twentieth Century Com
pany in it's complaint charged that the de-
PENDANT concerns had declined to sell sup
plies to the plaintiff because it was not
a member of the Master Plumbers Asso-
citation. The plaintiff charged that this was
an unlawful refusal.
Within the last few days the attorneys
for the defendants nave filed a demurrer TO
the complaint and the court is now wrest-
ling with this document. The demurrer
AYERS that the complaint of the plaintiff is
based on an act of the last Legislature
which makes il Unlawful for one TO refuse
TO sell goods to another because the latter
Is not a member of a particular union or
organization. 1t is asserted in the demurrer
that this law is Unconstitutional because a
man has a right TO sell goods TO whom he
chooses and this law has a tendency to de-
one of the defendants asserts hat he is not
depending entirely on the demurrer to &C
quit his client, who, he AYERS, did not re-
fuse to sell supplies TO the plaintiff because
il was not a member of the umbers AS
ISOLATION. He says the Twentieth Century
Company was refused because ii had not
given the required bond TO the city and had
ward, it is claimed, this defendant. on the
advice of its attorney, began selling to the
Twentieth Century Company and is at pres
ent furnishing this company with supplies.
