OWES $4,000 TO STATE.
Secretary of State of Indiana Giues
Property to Trustee.
rBv Telegraph to The Trfbune.l


T,disnaroIis Dec 20-It developed to-day
that Daniel e. Storms, Secretary of State. now
serving his second term, was compelled TO put
his property in the hands Of a trustee TO meet
an indebtedness of $1,000 to the State Inls
action was taken after meeting of his bonds
men and an Intellectual effort to raise the money
from banks and personal friends MT storms
admitted to-day that he had used the funds IN
his hands In investments and that he had re-
sorted to a trusteeship to stratghten out MS
affairs
It appears that when Governor Hanly de-
rnanded the resignation of David E. Sherr1ck,
Auditor of State for failure to settle with the
Treasurer, the banks which had Mr. Stormss
money on traction ard other securities became
uneasy and demanded that the loans be paid at
once The Secretary of State appealed 10 ms
bondsmen and a meeting was held at the mousse
of his brother-in-law at Lafayette
It was shown at that meeting that Mr.. storms
needed $4,000 to square himself with the State
but the bondsmen did not have the money ana
when application was made to the bankers the
amount raised lacked 900 of meeting the In
debtedness. Resort was then had to trustee
ship. Mr.. Storms surrendered all his properly
and securities, and on these a considerable
amount was raised. Personal friends also came
to his aid, and he was able to meet his tndeot-
edness.
1t also developed to-day that Mr.. Storms MADE
only a. partial settlement with the State In july
and the books show that he owed at that tlIae
$4,000 in excess of the amount which he PAID
and with which he was credited on the DOCKS OF
the State Treasurer. Speaking OF the matter
tonight he admitted all the facts, and SAID thaI
It had always been the custom OF oIhcidIS 70
make investments, but he had setued WIN me
state and did not owe it a dollar. ASKED aOouL
the trusteeship, he said it was true that ms
property had been placed in the hands OF d
frnstee hut that was a matter in which the
public had no interest
Governor Hanly said tonight that ne dld not
know that Mr. storms was short in July or tnat
he had difficulty In settling with the state IN
October but if he had known It, he certainly
would have proceeded against him

Che-Foo, Dec 2O--A prominent European Oh
fetal who is visiting Che-Foo, giving synopsis
of the opinions Of persons thoroughly acqualnt-
ed with conditions in China, says that the
Shanghai troubles were the direct result Of the
American boycott. He thinks the American Of
AciaIs at washington should have opposed the
Chinese demands for a revision Of the exclusion

TROUBLE OVER MIXED COURT.
Possibility Of a Big Military Demonstration
at Shanghai.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-As understood here the
trouble in Shanghai arose from the action Of the
British assessor in levying tax on a Chinese
resident of the foreign settlement The mixed
court is a curious body, made up Of q, Chinese
magistrate. who holds sittings every weekday.
On two days Of each week an American official
from the consulate general sits with him. in the
capacity of assessor; two other days a SIM
ilar German official sits, and on the remaining
two weekdays a British representative This
court has jurisdiction over all licenses and
taxes payable by the Chinese in the foreign set
Element of Shanghai. The French have a similar
court Of their own. The Chinese municipal
authorities have always been jealous Of this
court and there have been many clashes in the
past owing to the efforts Of the Chinese to COL
1ect these taxes themselves. The court also
possesses the power to punish culprits. and ire

PROBING THEATRE Trust.
Edzcard Lauterbdch Makes LfOeIy
Scene When Admission Is Refused.

More than a dozen men prominent IN theatrl-
cal affairs appeared IN the Court Of Special oes-
slons yesterday in response to suopenas from
the Office of District Attorney Jerome IN the
John Doe proceedings begun Monday by Mr..
Kresel Deputy Assistant District Attorney.
A sensation among the witnesses assembled
in the anteroom was created by Edward Lauter-
bach, said to have been engaged by Klaw q Ell
LANCER as counsel for all subpoenaed, who tried
to force his way into the chamber in which Mr.
Kresel was examining Edward L. Bloom. of the
Calm g. Grant circuit He was so insistent
upon entering pleading that he had been re-
tanned to appear for Mr.. Bloom. that Mr.. Kresel
was on the point of calling policeman to have
him elected. when Mr.. Lauterbach Indignantly
left the building
Before going, Mr.. Lauterbach told his assem-
bIed clients that he would apply Immediately to
a Supreme Court justice for a writ of prohibi-
ton. which, If granted, he said, would stop all
the proceedings by the District Attorney, GER
tainIy until after the Christmas holidays.
MI Lauterbach also said that in his talk with
Mr. Kresel he had established one important
point which must have great weight with any
Supreme Court Justice This colloquy was as
follows:
Il insist on knowing" said Mr.. Lauterbarh,
Of there has been an information lodged with
the District Attorney E. basis for this star
chamber proceeding"
There has been" said Mr.. Kresel.
els it an information which a warrant may
issue?'
NO" answered Mr.. Kresel: "it is an in
formation on which a warrant would not
follow"
This admission Mr.. Lauterbach said, was an
important point for the witnesses.
The first important witness called was julius
Calm. booking representative of Charles Froh-
man. With Mr.. Calm was George NJ Leventritt,
his lawyer, but the latter was held up at the
door by Mr.. Kresel who informed the lawyer
that only one witness at time needed in
the room. Mr.. LeVentritt also appeared for Mr..
Bloom, of the Calm & Grant circuit, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Calm, who, on coming out, described
the proceedings as the tnquisition."
It learned that one Of the questions put
to Mr.. Calm was:
why did you refuse to book Mrs Leslie Car
ter in certain cities?"
Mr. Calm said he answered the question cheer
fully this way:
Because the last time booked her in those
cities we lost money. She too cold for u.s.
Other witnesses examined were William A
Brady; William Conner, of Liebler & Co: Dud-
ley mellow; J. J. Gottlieb manager of the CO.
lumbia Theatre, San Francisco, and Mr.. LIGHT
