OF the prosecution well towards COM

Some more expert medical testimony

DR. Cate. who signed the death certiii'

deemed to have significance in connec'

TO the prosecutors questions, said that
his disappearance had no connection
with the death OF Mrs. Brouwer. He
said he went TO New York and that
was the last he remembered until he
came to In Goshen. DIR. Cate also gave
his reasons for srpposing that Mrs
Brouwer had died OF Bright's disease.
The cross examination OF several
nurses VINO attended Mrs. Brouwer was
also deemed as developing a number OF
points favorable TO the defendant.
DIR. Brouwer at the close Of the ses.
sion showed by his face and manner
that he believed the days proceedings
had been favorable for him.

Greatest Banking House in hav'

DUE TO CURTAlLED CREDIT
Agents Defalcation Coming at Time
When Immediate Amounts Were
Tied Up in Loans Causes
Ruin.

NEW YORK, Oct. ll.-News Of the
failure of ]. NJ. Ceballos & Co. was q
great surprise to the banking and com
mission houses in the financial district
where the head of the house was re,
garded as the most aggressive mer-
chant and banker in the Cuban Ameri'
can trade.
Ceballos & Co, extended their vast
enterprises over the West Indies, South
America and Spain. Silveira 4 Co. OF
which Manuel Silveira, whose alleged
defalcation with sl,0O00O0 caused the
failure. has been for many years their
agent in the Latin American countries.
Silveira & Co., were bankers and mer-
chants in Havana, and the firm was
considered a bulwark Of financial re-
sponsibility. The two firms were in
the van of the big developing compa-
nies which Cuba relied on for her fu-
ture prosperity.
Juan NJ. Ceballos, head of the firm,
has been for many years prominently
identified with many international en-
terprises. He has had few Wall
Street connections and his house was
regarded as not so much Wall Street
concern, as a promoter of Latin-Amer.
lean enterprises. The effect of the as
signmept on local firm. is problemat-
ical,
A man who has close business rela-
tions with the firm said the loss Of
sl,OOO0OO really crippled the house to
the extent of S4,OO0000 in curtailing
its credit to that amount. The loss,
he said, could not have come at a worse
season for the reason that the house
lends money during the harvest and
grinding of the sugar crop. Its fun&
were very largely tied, he declared in
such loans, and it was impossible to
call them.
The failure is considered to have a
damaging effect upon business in Cuba.
Among other things it means the aban-
donment OF comprehensive Cuban rail-
road scheme, which contemplated the
construction af an entire new railroad
system reaching all the ceballos prop
critics and covering all that part of the
island not now covered with transpor-
tation facilities.
