OVERDRAWN FOR MONTHS
ACCOUNT OF FRANK c. ANDREWS.
DETROIT BANK wRECKER.

Any Time-New Items i'm the APP
praisaI of Real Esate.

DETROIT, Mich. April 29.-When the
hearing of Frank c. Andrews and Henry
r. Andrews, charged with wrecking the
City Savings Bank, was resumed to-day,
Assistant Cashier Joseph Schultz was put
ON the stand for ss-examination. He
was required to read from the individual
ledger Frank c. Andrews's overdrafts from
Aug %. 1882 to the end OF that year. The
amounts ranged from $1,000 to $4,000. most
Of the sums being in the neighborhood of
s25, 900. The purpose of this was to show
that Andrews was permitted to overdraw
his account before he was elected vice
president, on May l, 1900. He was, however,
a director in 1899 An examination of the
books by Schultz showed that during the
period OF these overdrafts the daily state
ment book and the individual extension
ledger did not agree, the former not show
ing at any time the full amount of the over
drafts Expert Accountant Dresser testi-
fed when Schulte's examination had been
concluded.
The Union Trust Company, as receiver
for the City Savings Bank. filed to-day its
supplemental report of the appraisal of the
real estate and securities of the bank re-
ceived from Frank c. Andrews vice pres
ident of the institution, by assignment. The
report shows new items as follows: Real
estate in which the equity Of Frank c. An
drews is estimated at $3l2, 249; personal prop
erty of the estimated value Of $254.242; a
total of the two items of S567242. The total
appraised assets as given in the first re-
port amounted TO 1874. 427, which by these
items is increased to S2,54l,670.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The omnibus
public building bill passed the House to-
day under the special order from the COM
mittee on rules after brief debate. Ii prob
ably will reach the Senate tomorrow, and
will be referred Immediately TO the Senate
committee on public buildings and grounds,
of which Senator Fairbanks is chairman.
The bin, as passed, carries appropriations
for new buildings at Hammond, Elkhart,
Logansport Muncie. Charlottesville. Rich
mond and Vincennes. The Senate bill, au-
thorizing a new building at Anderson. was
not included in the House measure as
passed to-day. 4 strong effort already Is
being made to insert the Anderson appro-
priation in the bill in the Senate. Senator
Fairbanks has received strong petitions
from business and professional men OF An
derson. Whether all the appropriations in
serted in the House bill can be retained
in the Senate is extremely doubtful. There
will have to be some sharing done.
The bill will distribute ST. 4O5. $50 among Ia
cities. As the bill covers into the treas
ury 81, ,5S5,oOO the total amount carried by
the bill is reduced TO that extent. The
total amount carried by the bill provides
for seventy-seven new buildings and sites.
six buildings on sites already purchased,
seventeen buildings on donated sites and
fifty-eight increases in appropriations for
buildings already used. IL also provides for
the purchase OF sixteen sites. The majority
for the bill was SO overwhelming that only
nine members backed "A demand for the
ayes and nays on the passage Of the bill.
There was some criticism OF the method
by which il was proposed TO pass the bill
without opportunity for amendment. which
Mr. Mercer, chairman OF the committee.
answered by stating that If the bill had
been subject to amendment the appropria-
tions carried by IL would have been in
creased $50. 10000.
The consideration OF the agricultural ap-
propriation bill was resumed, but only
seven pages were disposed OF.

WASHINGTON, April 29 - Lieutenant
Beecher. the naval expert in wireless teleg-

his trip TO North Carolina sound, where he
inspected the Weather Bureau system of
wireless telegraphy installed between Roa-
noke and a point the mainland opposite
Hatteras. a distance of fifty miles as the
crow flies
The system was found to work over that
distance with absolute accuracy reliability
and speed. The latter is attained by aban-
doning the troublesome "coherer.'' which is
indispensable part of almost every other
style of apparatus. The new plant is ex-
tremely compact and light. and a very
strong point in it's favor is the remarkably
small amount of battery power required to
operate it as compared with other systems.
This makes for low cost Of maintenance.
The experimenters are working a selec-
tive device, which is reported TO promise
