Worthless Assets.
Auburn, N. Y, Jan. 2. = At 1918

case of Manning c. Palmer, charged
with misappropriating funds of the
American Exchange National bank Of
Syracuse, returned verdict of guilty
The jury was out since o'clock Sat
urday night
Mr. Palmer was tried on 10 counts
and was found guilty on all but 10.
Mr.. Palmer was sentenced to five
years in Auburn prison and was re-
manded to the custody of the United

Manning C. Palmer, who is rs

which was organized in 1897 as state
bank and was chartered as a national
bank In 1900, had capital Of 100000
and its liabilities to individual depos-
itors and other banks at the time OF
closing amounted to about 100000.
Since the faNAre rs per cent has been
paid to depositors, but only after an
assessment of 67 per cent on the stock
holders.
The worthless assets were found to
consist mainly of paper in which the
president of the bank was interested
and which had ccrued from the time
the -bank was organized. Palmer
brothers, Mr.. Palmer personally and
relatives, and the Adamant Manufac-
turing company of which the president
of the bank was treasurer, we're the
heaviest debtors. In the case Of the
Adamant extensive overdrafts had
been allowed and have been concealed

The suppression Of revolt at Moscow
ind the certainty that similar upris-
ings elsewhere will be crushed mark
the collapse of the first attempt of the

and administers a defeat from which
It is not believed in government cir
cles the revolutlonaries can quickly
recover.
Now that the smoke Of battle is
clearing away, the utter hopelessness
of the conflict seems to be apparent.
The populace held aloof and not a
single military unit actually Joined

conflict before the proletariat organ
izations were prepared.
The government secured compara-
lively easy though ruthless victory,
and it is believed in high official cir
cles that the organizations have been
so demoralized and disrupted by the
blow and by the arrest of their most
able leaders that it will be impossible
for them to attempt the coup planned
for the anniversary OF "bloody Sun
day"
The country has quieted down and
the cabinet now hopes that the selec-
tions to the douma are assured and
that the government can devote its
time to the suppression of the revolt
in the Baltic provinces and more es-
pecially to the solution of the agrarian
question.
