Der1nidy in police court this morning for

Second street S. Hencir claims that Der

'We went to Johnson's saloon little
after II o'clock on the night of April 18, =
said Hencir on the witness stand. I
stood on the opposite side of the street,
while Dermidy broke ouen the window and
went in. When he came out he showed
me a revolver and two days later he gave
me, a watch. Then went home and he
went back to work. Afterwards he threw
the revolver away, but I told the officers
where it was and they got it. Yes, that
is the gun lying on the table, an dthat is
the watch he gave me- [ had nothing to

street until he got thru
Dernidy was sheld in $1,000 bail, which
with the bail under which he is held upon
the charge Of robbing C. H. Euhn's drug
store on Western avenue, makes $4,000.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson gave
notice that he had sixteen other charges

MR.. FIGHTERS POSITION
Excommunicated Minister Believes
Temperance Is Self Control Not
Enforced Restraint. 4#

Louis Richter, communicated minis
ter Of the Presbyterian church, makes
the following statement of his position in
answer, he says, to the widespread inter-
est that his contention with the Presby-
terrain church has elected. He says:
While have reason to be well satisfied
with the treatment accorded me by the
press it is unavoidable that, in interviews
with reporters. with their best intentions,
they sometimes fail to do exact justice.
tFirst-My definition of temperance is
self-control. That is a right and moder-
ate use of all things lawful. Prohibition
is not temperance. The difference is this:
Temperance Is q voluntary virtue fos>
tered by right training. Prohibition is an
enforced restraint which leaves no room
for the development of character.
Secondary fixed adherence to this
fundamental and Scriptural principle,
which have always held brought me into
conflict with the rising tide of the total
abstinence prohibition system. AS l grew

F. N. stacy's Checking Discloses
$4,000 More Which Isn't
Where It Belongs.
It Was Taken From the Revolv-
ing Fund to Pay In
terest.

F. N. Stacy, who is. checking up the
city books. has discovered another item
of $4,000 which should be credited to
the revolving fund. Some years ago In
terest on municipal bonds to this amount
was paid out of the revolving fund.
There Is no authority for such payments,
as interest on all municipal bonds is pro-
vided for annually by the council thru a
tax levy Whether the interest fund ran
short or the charge was made against the
fund thru mistake is not known.
Mr.. Stacy believes that the revolving
fund should be reimbursed out of the sink
ing fund, inasmuch as the latter fund
ments on special Improvements. It may
be-, however, that the council should make
a provision for including this $4,000 in
the next tax levy.

BY Private Wire to White Commission
Company.
New York, June 1.-Conditions affecting
the stock market today were not of thu
most desirable character. Bear interests
worked hard to maintain control of the
situations, while simultaneously a number
of operators who had recently taken
position of the long side of the account
were inclined to operate in a way to es-
tablsh confidence In outside circles. Tn
der the circumstances there were periods
of irregularity, during which 1t was no
easy matter to tell which element was
being favored. On the whole, however,
nervousness and uncertainty continued
and expressions from various sources
were mixed and rather conflicting. The
flood news from the west was seriously
regarded in that there was some belief
that the crops and railroads had been
damaged. The monetary situation on the
whole was the subject of favorable argu-
ment, though 1t was generally admitted
that the International banking affairs
were not up to the Views of the more
exacting observers. Dizziness developed
as the day wore on, and the movement of
prices became rather sluggish. slow
decline became the feature, and there was
talk that certain speculative accounts
were being gunned after. Under the cir
cumstances, many weak interests were
disposed to either hold off or liquidate
and take their losses, and consequently
the feeling In the latter part of the day
was rather unfavorable. There was some
little buying at the lower prices. Bonds
were irregular.
