Claim That Jury's Award is Unjust and
Unreasonable.

Justice Gould of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, sitting as a
United States district court, heard argu-
ments today on the motion filed by the
District Commissioners, asking the court
to confirm the verdict of the jury in the
matter of the condemnation of the land
necessary for the joining of Kalorama ave-
Washington Heights.
The matter was argued in behalf of the
Commissioners by Assistant Corporation
Counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair, and At
torneys R. Ross Perry & Son and George
C. Hazelton submitted arguments in the
interest of persons who filled exceptions to
the verdict of the jury. ,s...--
After considering the arguments Justice
Gould announced that 1t appeared from the
face Of the record that the jury had made
mistake and that their verdict, as it
standS-is unjust and unreasonable.
The court accordingly overruled the
motion filed to confirm the verdict and
signed an order .yacating and setting the
verdict aside in all respects. The court
shall for the District to summon a new
jury of seven judicious and disinterested
citizens to assess the damages each
owner of land taken may sustain by rea-
son of the joining of Kalorama avenue
and the condemnation of the land for the
purpose of the joining, and to assess the
benefits resulting therefrom, in accord
ance with the provisions Of an act of Con-
gress approved April %, 1904.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
He Spends the Day at Tangier
Morocco

TANGIER, Morocco, March 31-The
Hamburg-American line steamer Hamburg,
with the German Emperor on board ar
rived here this morning from Lisbon. The
emperor was awaited at the landing by
the representatives of the sultan, the diplo-
matte corps and a big crowd of people.
A heavy sea was running when the Ham
burg anchored, and the emperor sent his
grand chamberlain ashore to apologize for
the fact that he must delay landing owing
to the rough water, and saying that he
probably would land later. This announce
ment caused the greatest Disappointment
among the people ashore who had collected
to welcome his ajesty.
The usual saluteS were exchanged be-
tween the escorting German cruiser Prinz
Friedrich Karl and the land batteries and
the French warships Linois and DuChayla
now in these waters.
The town presents most picturesque
spectacle. Flowers, rich Moorish embroid-
cries, fine rugs and brilliant eastern cos
tunes everywhere make up a scene hereto
fore unknown in Tangier.
Emperor William landed here at II AS
board the Hamburg from the commander
of the DuChayla.
Emperor William. who was accompanied
by brilliant staff, rode on horseback
through the densely-crowded streets to the
German legation. Later the emperor re-
embarked on board the Hamburg.

OHIO BANK ASSIGNS.
Closing Resulted From Declarations Of
.. Employes.s

LORA1N, Ohio. March 31.-At the usual
time for opening the doors of the Citizens
Savings Bank today there were several hun
dred depositors on hand ready to draw out
their money should the opportunity pre-
sent itself. The crowd was made up for
the most part of foreigners Posted upon
the door was notice which read:
This bank closed for business. The af-
fairs of the bank have been placed in the
hands of T. F. Fancher as assignee.
(Signed) THE DIRECTORS OF THE
CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK"
There was no demonstration on the part
of those gathered about the building. The
capital of the bank was $50, 600; resources,
$40; individual deposits. $3139i9. The
decision to close the bank was reached by
the directors after long session last
night.
While the directors are extremely reti-
cent, it is known that the closing of the
institution resulted from defalcations by
three of its employees, and that the sum
bank was organized in 1878 as the First
National. 1t was the oldest bank in
Lorain.
The late c. T. Beckwith of the defunct
Citizens National Bank of Oberlin was
president of the Citizens Savings Bank
here until five years ago. President Ho-
necker of the bank stated today that the
defaulting employees had agreed to turn
every tIiHS VI value they pOSSeSSeO 10 the
bank. Mr.. Honecker declared that he be-
lived the depositors would receive every
cent due them.
One of the defaulting employees was I'M
der bond of $4,000 1t is understood that
property to the value of probably $4,000
will be turned over by the men responsible
for the wrecking of the bank.
No arrests have as yet been made al
though President Honecker announced to-
day that he expected to take the necessary
legal steps for such an action shortly.
Asked if the Chadwick operations were in
any way responsible for the. failure, Presi-
dent Honecker said: g-,t
You may state that the bank escaped
Mrs. Chadwick completely and that the
closing of our bank is in no way trace
able to anything like the Chadwick affair.
Mrs Chadwick came to see u.s. and 1
talked with her, but she did not get any of
our money
From an authoritative source it is learned
that the exact amount of the shortage in
the funds of the bank is $97, 600 To offset
this the three defaulting employees carried
indemnity bonds in favor of the bank ag-
gregating $4,000 and in addition have
turned over real estate and other property
to the bank to the value of $12, 600 leaving
the net loss to the institution $4,000.
