men who were arrested one day last
week charged with holding a negro
named Waters in a condition Of
slavery" were arraigned before Judge
Speer in the United States court this
| morning and to the charge entered a
plea of guilty.
The cases have attracted no little at
tent1on here, and the court room was
crowded when the defendants were called
| upon to answer the charge lodged against
them There was nothing dramatic in
the scene. 1t was a plain everyday case
In court, and when the defendants adj
| m1tted their guilt no one was in the
| least surprised. With the plea OF guilty
submitted, what promised TO be one of
the most sensational cases known in this
| judicial circuit was all over except the
| sentence Of Judge Speer Judge Speer
! lost no time in bringing these peonage
cases TO a conclusion. Ills sentence was
brief and impressive and during its de-

Comment on the Bank Statement.

New York, June 27-The New YORK
Financier says
THE official statement Of the New
York associated banks last week was
unexpectedly favorable as regards cash
gains. these being Sc, 800, 400 whereas the
increase in cash. as estimated upon the
basis of the traceable movements OK
money during the week was only $685.
900. The difference between the estimated
and the actual gains may be accounted
for by the fact that the previous week
statement failed to show the estimated
increase in cash by $I.96l 600 the actual
gain beng $l,3o9,S 500, while the preliminary
report showed estimated increase OF
81, ;;2l 400 Moreover, last week eSu-
mates of the movements of money took
into account the fun sum of the weeks
exports 20 Europe, or S4,096504, while,
under the average system OF the clear
ing house not more than half this
amount was reported. Therefore, the
bringing over from the previous week
into last week of the unreported increase
in cash and the averaging OF last week
shipments of gold Will in great part eX-
plain the discrepancy above noted. Loans
were increased last week by $S,92o, $40,
which may be accounted Tor by the facts
that some of the money which was ac-
counted by the banks in anticipation of
the payments for July interest and diVi-
/ dends was loaned in the market, and
! presumably loans were also increased
| through operations in connection with
| descriptions for the new Pennsylvania
| stock Deposits were augmented by $l3,-
| 940 500 which amount is less by 81 294, 700
| than the total OF the increase in loans
| and IN cash; therefore, the statement is
! technically out of proof. The required
reserve was increased So, 4S5125 as The

the result that the picture is not only
deserving much commentator for sub
ject alone. but higher praise for its de-
veIopment. He has mounted the picture
with proper regard for symmetry, and
the photograph, which otherwise might
prove barren and uninteresting. is one
of the most conspicuous in the collection
sent to The Times.
Awarded Honorable Mention.
Three pictures have been awarded
honorable mention. In selecting these
the Judges were guided by many COM
mandatory features OF the photograph.
A lack of some essentials prevented the
pictures from being included in the prize
class.
Thomas c. Bailey submitted a finely
executed picture of the White House
viewed from the Treasury steps. The
foremost objection to the picture was it's
lack of originality in subject Its main
fault was the wide sweep of walk in the
foreground leading up to the east en-
trance of the mansion. It will be seen
that the width of the walk at the gate
is almost as wide as the main entrance
"a feature which tends to detract from
the general beauty of the picture In
this instance it would be well to remind
