Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 26-The ex
animation by attorneys of creditors of Roll
before several hundred deeply interested
depositors.
The witness was questioned for four
hours. He said that during all the nineteen
years of his banking career he had never
struck trial balance and that three years
ago, as he then thought, he was most pros
porous. He was now forced to believe that
he was then insolvent. When questioned as
to what was the exact time he conceded
himself bankrupt his counsel objected
to his answering because he might in
criminate himself. The witness, however
voluntarily waived any constitutional rights
imperiled by his answers. When questioned
about his losses witness said he lost s15.-

pany. $4,000 in brick yards situated I'm
Kendallville and Wolcotyille, $4,000 in
a cereal coffee enterprise. $780, in a horse

in mtten factory. $1,000 in a canning
factory, $4,000 in the milk shipping business

From the Kansas venture he realized $40,-
He advanced $4,000 TO Willis Bastian, his
brother-in-law. to build street-railway in
Joplin, Mo-. which was not completed and
is of little value.
The examination brought out details of
payments to three Fort Wayne banks and
to his brother which amount TO preferred

turned.

LITTLE CLAIMS 81 GAIN
JUDGE wHALLON FIGURES THAT HIS
NET Loss is ONLY FORTY-FIvE.
Examination of Protested Ballots in
sev<n Wards Made by Special
Commissioner Noel.

Judge Allen. of the Circuit Court, yester-
day appointed James w. Noel as commits
sioner TO preside over the examination OF
the protested ballots for police judge which
was begun yesterday.
Mr. Little with Charles Fox and Charles
Remster, his attorneys; Judge Whallon
with Pirtle Herod and Gaylord Hawkins
his attorneys, and Mr.. Noel, City Clerk
Fogarty and two detectives met at the city
clerks office yesterday afternoon at
o'clock and began the examination of 1901
protested ballots. Among this number there
will be about 400 school commissioners ball
lots which will not be gone over, leaving
little over COO ballots for police judge.
BY o'clock last night. when the exami-
nation was adjourned for supper, the COM
missioners had examined the ballots of only
the first four wards. The commissioners
resumed the examination at 7:30 o'clock and
continued until n:30 last night. when an
adjournment was taken until o'clock this
afternoon. The protested ballots of seven
wards were counted last night and showed
a net gain in favor of Little, giving him the
benefit of all doubts.
TITLES CLAIM.
Little claims a net gain of ninety-one
votes over Whallon in the seven wards
counted. apportioned as follows: First
ward. twenty-one: Second, five: Third, six
teen; Fourth, twenty-six; Fifth, nine;
Seventh, five. Judge Whallon claims that
Little has a net gain of only about forty
FIVE votes.
Judge Whallon said last night that he
did not think Little would gain more than
100 votes in the whole fifteen wards. THE
reason many of my ballots were protested
in the Second and Third wards said Judge
Whallon last night" was because there
was an independent councilman in these
wards and many voters who voted the
straight Republican ticket also voted for
the Independent candidate and the ballots
were thrown out.
Mr.. Noel expects to be through the ex-
animation by tonight and will probably
make his report to Judge Allen to-mor-
row morning If II is found by Little's at
torneys. at the conclusion of the examina-
ton, from the votes that they have tabu-
lated that Little cannot be elected, they will
dismiss the suit pending in the Circuit

SHOT BY UNKNOWN NEGRO.
a. l.. Ramsey Wounded While Fight
ing to Save His Money.

An unknown negro attempted to hold up
A. l. Ramsey. of 81 South State street.
while he was working at Indiana avenue
and Gent street last evening, and after
shooting Ramsey in the left hip made his
escape.
Ramsey is the engineer on the tramway
engine which is used in digging a sewer
on Gent street and he was busily engaged
at his work when the colored man ap-
preached and asked for a cigarette. Ram
sey told the negro that he did not smoke
and turned around again TO his work. The
colored man stood still for a moment and
then suddenly drew a revolver from his
pocket and demanded that Ramsey hold up
his hands. Ramsey grabbed the negro and
in the struggle that followed he was shot
i'm the hip. He then struck the colored man
in the face and Knocked him to the ground
but he soon got on his feet and again fired
his revolver. The powder burned Ramsey
face. but the bullet went astray. After the
colored man had made his escape Ramsey
discovered that he was wounded and
boarded a car and went to the City Dispen-
sary, where his wounds were dressed by Drs
Jones and Sheek. The police were notified
of the shooting and searched for the negro
but failed to find him. Ramsey had been
paid his weekly wages yesterday and the
negro IL is supposed knew that he had
some money in his pockets.

and the guests saw her no more. The
father, with two smaller children, STAYED
the ordeal out, but il was noticed that MT
Bryan did not congratulate the bridegroom
nor shake hands with him. A few members
of a Greek society. TO which the bride had
belonged in her college days. gave little
wedding procession and passed things TO
the guests.
After il was over and there came the
pause when. i'm the happiest of cases, II

bride went upstairs. saw her mother alone
a few moments. and then left her home
with the man of her choice. They walked

they came TO Atchison yesterday.
And by the way, there is more sympathy
for W. ]. Bryan to-day than there was at

Mr.. Leavitt is thirty-seven and his bride
eighteen. He was a widower and is an
artist. Miss Bryan, they say. gave up a
Lincoln young man for Leavitt.

WHY CANADA SAYS "No.-
Satisfied with Her Own Institutions
and Doesn't Like Some of Ours

Joseph Howe Dickson, in November Ma
tional Magazine.
We like our institutions, which are formed
after the pattern OF those of the mother
land as nearly as the circumstances will
permit. Under them enjoy the greatest
possible freedom in the exercise of the
rights and privileges OF self-government
pense. Our laws are most ample for the
punishment of crime and for the protection
and security of the civil rights of the
people.
While there is much to admire in the way
our republican neighbors administer their
not commend themselves TO our more con-
servative people. The disturbance to bust
ness caused by presidential elections; the
election OF judges, and the facility OF the
divorce laws. are all matters that we think
do well in having avoided. The negro
problem, too, with its lawless lynchings,
which must result either from defective
enforce them, is blot upon the national
escutcheon with which Canadians would
not care TO be identified.
There was time. perhaps. in our his
tory when our destiny seemed somewhat
obscured. and men of sense and ability diff
fered to what IL should be: but that day
has gone by. Our ambitions are i'm the
great empire. which. although her flag
flor thousand years has braved the bait
tie and the breeze, and floats over 400 600
600 subjects, Is yet i'm its infancy All our
efforts directed toward the unity OF
the British empire now in progress and of
which We feel that. In the words of the
Right Honorable Joseph Chamberlain re-
Gently uttered. United We can become the
greatest empire in history and the greatest
blessing To the universe"

President Downing told Attorney Noel

that he probably will ask the Circuit Court

Noel claims that his clients are entitled
TO damages for the vacation of the street.
The old Board of Works awarded them no
damages when the street was closed
Opening of the case by the new board Is
opposed by the street company. which
now uses the vacated street and alley.

Attorney Noel claimed that under the
statutes the new board should reconsider
the case as his clients did not have fair
hearing before the old board. Attorney
Moores said the law is very plain in the
statement that the action of the old board
is final and that the case cannot be recon-
sidered.
President Downing said the board would
refer the matter to City Attorney Warrum
