President Hinsch. who further supple

1t is an open secret of years duration

it, went 10 campaign funds and, gentle
men, let me say that If you tie up the tax
collections in the treasurers Office the
wheels NJ every industry in Cincinnati will
stop. I feel the banks were doing a public
good in accepting the deposits.
Leopold Kleybolte. for many years presi-
dent of the Western German bank, testified
that about sixteen years ago the Western
German officials were informed by a direc-
tor Of the bank himself q democrat. that If
the bank desired it could get some Of the
county treasury deposits from the treas

cepted, Mr.. Kleybolte said, and the West

for the favor a practice which had been
continued since during all the administra-

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. A.-The sensations
Of the gay in the investigation by the SEN
ate committee of Hamilton county af1airs
were the positive refusal of County Treas
urer Hynicka TO produce his private ac-
count and bank books and the statement
of Banker Hnch that local business would
have been blocked had the county funds
been retained fiom the treasurers vauls
The committee will report to the state sen
ate the refusal of Mr.. Hynicka to produce
his books and it is suggested today that
he would probably be cited before the SEN
ate on a charge Of contempt.
The payment OF gratuities to the county
treasurer by the bankers for deposits have
continued for several years, according to
the testimony OF Cashier George Schott
who was the first witness today before the
Drake committee of the state senate The
payments were made on basis of from
to "a per cent of the deposits. He had beer

four different treasurers.

Charles A. Hinch, president of the First
National bank, made n sensational state
ment just before he left the witness stand
in the investigation this afternoon. Sen
ator Schmidt of the committee brought out
the matter by asking Mr.. Hinch If he con-
sidered it proper for a banker TO use county
funds? President Hinsch then asked per-
mission to make statement, which he did
in effect, as follows;
II the banks had not been thus favored
the ensuing financial condition would have
been disastrous for the community. You
know % per cent OF the business OF the
represented by paper, this leaves per cent
of the business done in actual cash. Lock
up $4,000 at time in the county treas
urer's Office and the result would be that
every element of business in the city would
be paralyzed. 1t would stop the loans of
every bank in the city. So bankers feel
that in being permitted to use the public
funds they We're doing good thing for the
public as well Such deposits in the banks
under the law. compelled TO reserve - per
cent of il under the national banking law.
This raised the cost of the entire deposit to
as high a figure we Were able to secure
for il. Those loans were subject to instant
call for the use of municipalities which
were liable to call any time.
You know where the interest was
going?" asked Senator Schmidt
81 did not. I gave that no attention"
Would you have sent the interest hao
you known it went to the treasurer asked
Senator Schmidt.

enormous audiences that are being at
tracted to Verdi's fascinating rig
oletto," Gounod's Faust" with its
matchless melodies and sparkling
La Boheme" by the brilliant Puccini.
An especially elaborate production
has been made of "Rigoletto" this sell
son. This well-loved Italian master
piece, with it's exquisite melodies. be-
came popular fifty years ago, after the
first uproar caused by the daring
Verdi's undiplomatic librettist Once
accepted its attractive power never
waned. In recent seasons it is beyond
question the most desired Italian work
given at the Metropolitan with Caru-
so, Sembrich AMI Scott in the leading
roles.
The story of "Rigoletto" is taken
from Victor Hugo's well-known drama,
"The Kings Jester" and fairly bristles
with interesting intrigue in which the
duke of Mantua and Rigoletto, his
crooked-backed court fool the cour-
tiers and women figure. The music
is in Verdi's happiest style, each of
the three acts having its beautiful
arias and concerted numbers. The
role of Gilda is such a snowy, delight
full creation that it is the favorite
with the worlds great coloraturl ar
tistes, and Mr.. Savage has given the
opera a superb cast.
