ADVANCE CALL RATES.
Action of Philadelphia Banks Comes
 as Surprise to Financial District.

Philadelphia, November 10.-For the first time since September, 1902, Phila- delphia banks today advanced their rate on call loans to per cent. The action came as a surprise to the finan- cial district, but occasioned no un- easiness. It grew out of the abnormal rates in New York, where 10 to 12 per cent was exacted for the same accom- modation afforded here at half that figure. Practically every bank partici- pated in the advance, which went into effect at once.
 The inequality in rates between New York and Philadelphia attracted borrowers to this city, but, irrespective of that demand, bankers said rates would have risen, because the same conditions exist in both cities, namely, abnormal demand for money from business interests and brokers.

When Earl Howard, one of the de-
States against Frank and Allen De
Witt and Earl Howard was put on
the stand in district court yesterday
afternoon, he turned states evidence
and told the whole story Of the rob-
berry. admitting his part in the affair
Dewitt brothers.
The case is being tried on the Uni
ted States side of the court. and in
the indictment the three young men
are accused of breaking into and rob
bing the postoffice at Elida on last
stealing 1892 in stamps, four ordi-
nary letters and two five-dollar notes.
each of which was in a registered let
ter. When young Howard testified he
told the whole story of the robbery,
giving what he declared to be the
whole arrangement of the three and
the manner in which they accomplish
ed the deed. He said that he had
been led into the robbery by the De
Wits, and what was more, he made
a statement about some counterfeit
ing that will be used in cases that
are pending Howard claimed to have
this information from the DeWitts.
who admitted to him that they had
cousin in the Missouri penitentiary
for counterfeiting.
naXVift tho stand
Tuesday morning in his own behalf
and he answered the story of Howard
by saying that 1t was false so far as
he and his brother were concerned.
He said that Howard had made a pro-
position to him and his brother in
saying that he. Howard, and some
others were going to rob it. Dewitt
stated further that he advised How
ard not to do the job and refused to
take any part in it. He further said
that there was nothing In the report
about his cousin being in the Missou-
ri penitentiary for counterfeiting;
that he told Howard that, merely to
scare him out of the Elida job. He
said he argued to Howard that he had
an example in his own family about
monkeying with Uncle Sam, and did
not care to take such chances.
So the story of one of the accused
is out against that of the other
T'oere are many witnesses being ex-
amined and the case is developing

be a good fellow. by treating the
crowd, and the bride showed her ap-
probation and good nerve by empty
ing one of the six-shoOters into the

was in the crowd and he was called
on for a speech. which he gave with
the usual good grace, explaining to
the lady from Illinois that the crowd
meant only to show that the people of
Lakewood and vicinity gave them a
cordial welcome. After the crowd de-
parted a Mexican chorus was secured
and gave the couple serenade in
native Mexican songs. AS a further
means of entertainment the sere-
naders had arranged a dead-fall of
lumber in the newly built house, which
fell with a crash when the operator
