DAWES WILL INVESTIGATE
Says He Has Found Nothing Suspi-
cious in Martindale Deal.

The following telegram from Wash
ington may have some bearing on AL
baugh's future in politics:
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
stated today that very shortly he would
send a special agent to Kansas to
thoroughly investigate the recent
charges filed against Receiver Mort AL
haugh of the wrecked national bank of
Emporia. Depositors of the wrecked
institution are not satisfied with the
way the receiver has been managing
his trust and there have been some
very sharp criticisms of both Receiver
A1baugh and his attorney, Ike Lambert.
THE comptroller has found nothing
grave enough to warrant an investi-
cation since the sale of real estate be-
longing to the failed bank-which sale
was promptly set aside by the comp
troller-but the recent complaints of
depesitors are to be inquired into with
care Special officers will be sent to
Emporia for that purpose"

Most of the works of art persisted. It

the finest museum of dramatic au-
thors and artists in existence. The IA
nous gallery of busts of all eminent
actors and actresses who in the past
have honored the Theater Francois is
now lost. A large portrait of. Rachael
by Gerome is burned. So also are the
famous portraits of Mile Clarion as
Media, of David Garrick, of Mile. Mars
and of Adrienne LIE Couvreur. The
portrait of Moliere breakfasting with
Louis XIV is destroyed. Two of the
best works of Houdon, the bust of Mol
iere and the lifelike seated statue of
Voltaire. the bust of Jean Jacques
Rousseau by Caffieri, the sitting statue
of George Sand the superb head of
Dumas the elder, with the negro blood
fully apparent in his thick lips, Car

statue of Talma are also destroyed or
badly damaged. A like fate has be-
fallen the superb statues of Mile. Mars

JERDICKE CASE DROPPED
Old Suit Against Ex-Postmaster Dis
by Government.

A civil suit which has been pending
in the United States district court here
for the past eight years, in which the
federal government was the plaintiff
and the bondsmen of August Jaedicke
of Hanover, Washington county, were
defendants, has just been dismissed by
United States District Attorney Lam
bert During the tendency of the liti-
cation it has been to the United States
court of appeals and back, although the
amount involved was only 1927.
Jaedicke was postmaster at Hanover
from 1889 to 1892. When he went out
of Office the government inspectors
claimed that he was $527 short in his
funds, and he was arrested for misap-
propriating government money. 1t was
claimed that the money had been ap-
prOpriated a little at a time during the
greater part of the time that Jaedicke
was i'll Office, but he was acquitted on
the criminal charge. He was well to
do. and the charges were little short of
absurd.
The government then filed a suit
against his bondsmen to recover the
alleged shortage. A verdict was re-
turned for the government, but the
bondSmen carried the case TO the United
States court of appeals at st. Louis,
claiming that Jaedicke's accounts had
been approved each month by the au-
ditOr of the postoffice department, and
the bondsmen were so notified by postal
card. These cards were produced and
the court Of appeals reversed the lower
court and sent the case back for an
other trial
AS the court of appeals had knocked
out the only grounds the government
had on which the money could be col
lected, District Attorney Lambert, after
investigating the case thoroughly, asked
that it be dismissed.

My object is a very simple one. 1t is

have endeavored to describe by the
words industrial democracy the ulti-
mate end toward which we ought to
strive. In politics we have already OBJ
tanned demOcracy-the rule of the COM
mon people. There are bosses, 1 know,
but they remain bosses only so long as
the people consent. While there is de-
mocracy in politics, there is no demOc-
racy in industry. 1 am not going to ar
que tonight whether there should be in
dustrial democracy or not / am going
to assume that there should land that
it is the ultimate end toward which we
should work.
Outlining the evolution of labor con
ditiOns from feudalism, when the labor
and the land were owned by the feudal
lord, to the present time, when the Ia
borer is free to move as he wills, DR.
Abbott said:
Now the capitalist owns the tools
with which the laborer must work. Now
the labOrer is subject to the man who
owns the tools. The men who do the
work should own the tools This means
that the laborers should own the rail-
roads and mines on and in which they
work. That is, the labor should en-
ploy capital, instead of capital employ
ing labor
DR.. Abbott suggested several steps
which might be taken Immediately tow
ard the attainment of this end. These
steps included reform in taxation abol-
ition of all government privileges, pop
ular ownership of natural monopolies,
saving the money and a broadening of
industrial education

Perhaps sadder still to relate is the
terrible havoc made by the flames in
the archives and library containing in
valuable theatrical records of the last

were noted day by day every incident of
the Theater Francois, the receptions,
cast and success of each new play, the
register beginning with the journal of
La Grande, the fellow actor of Moliere
and continuing with scarcely a break
to the present day. Among the manu-

Moliere, written by the hand of La

that no fire in Paris since the days of

DAWES EXPLAINS.
Denies That It Will Be Easier to
Start National Banks.


New York, March "a special to the
Times from Washington, D. c., says:
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
is overwhelmed with assertions and in
Quiries touching the operation of the
currency bill about to become a law. All
sorts Of motions are entertained by
those who have undertaken to interpret
it and recently the cOmptrOller's atten-
ton was directed to a press report pub
lished in several papers to this effect:
1t is estimated that any one with So, 600
capital can start national bank under
the new system. All that is required is
$4,000 in per cent government bonds,
which could be secured at ruling rates
for about $26,750. These, representing
the capital of the bank, could be sent
to Washington and circulation for the
full amount of the capital Immediately
taken out The organizer of the bank
then has only ESQ tied up in the enter
prise. but could take deposits in the
regular way.
THAT report has gained so much
publicity, said Comptroller Dawes.
that it seems to me it ought to be
corrected as soon as possible. The re-
port is fallacious. The new law re-
garding circulation would not make it
easier to drive the authorities into al
lowin~ the bank to do business with no
capital While it is true that the or
ganizers of a national bank can Sc
cure in circulation the par of the bonds
deposited by them as security therefor.
less the five per cent redemption fund.
if this currency was used to pay off the
cost of the bonds. it could not, of course,
be used as capital for the bank.
Where money has been borrowed to
purchase bonds deposited as security
for circulation, the bank notes issued
against them might be used to pay
portion of the debt But this operation
does not affect or lessen the necessity of
the bank having S25 900 in uninpaired
cash capital irrespective Of the cur
rency and bond transaction. The as
sumption is that the SIS, QUO received
from the government upon the deposit
of that amount of bonds as security
could be used both to pay the debt as
sumed in the purchase of the bonds as
well as for the working capital of the
bank in addition, which is, Of course,
impossible"
