YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways Of War Were New Thing to-
His Understanding.

At the Army and Navy club inF
Washington a number of veteran Off
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died in New York some
years ago:
1t appears that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war. had Left
Troy to take command of regiment
The engagement in which, as colonel, !.
he first figured was at Big Bethel His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
citement of skirmish. 1t happenedl
however, that confederates were Inc
ambush in the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, SO the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to-
a group of officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his.
young face as he approached the"
party.
"They are firing upon my regi--
ment!" he shouted. my God! Now
what is to be done?"-Harperss

BOYC0TTING is ILLEGAL.
A Baker Is Awarded $4,000 DAMAGES
for Injuries to His Business.

Racine, Wis.-Union labor was on
Tuesday dealt a heavy blow by
the decision of Circuit Court Judge
Chester A. Fowler. of Fond Du Lac. in
the boycott suit for $4,000 damages
brought by Otto B. Schultz, Racine
baker, against the trades labor coun-
Gil. Benjamin Dresser and others.
The decision holds illegal the con-
tract exacted from the boss bakers by
the union men, in an effort to enforce
the closed shop. The trades council
and the individual members are en-.
Joined from using the unfair list" {"
The boycott is declared an actionable
conspiracy to accomplish criminal
or unlawful purpose; Schultz is al
lowed to recover damages of s2.50O
for the loss of profits from the time of
the commencement of the boycotting
acts up to the time of the trial. and
$4,000 in damages for the amount of
injury to his business and property
in relation to its selling value.
The court declares that the contract
the union sought to force on the boss
bakers was in itself an illegal con.
tract, in that 1t would by it's terms
obligate the plaintiff to employ union
labor only as distinguished from non
union labor, and 1t would obligate
him to maintain closed as distin-
guished from an open shop"

MinnoMs and Mosquitoes.

Scientists, who have been battling
against mosquitoes with crude Oil
and other devices for destroying the
troublesome and dangerous pests.
have come to the conclusion that min
nows are of more service than oil in
ridding water of mosquitoes. Gold
fish have been used with great sue
cess in Hawaii in destroying mos
quitoes, and test of the services OF
toy minnows in the same work has
satisfied the scientists that the lat
ter are more efficient, and especially
so in stagnant water. Southern cit
les which have been spending consid'
cradle amounts in the purchase of oil
for destroying yellow fever mosqui-
toes are now considering the more
general use of minnows in stagnant
pools, says the Chicago Sun. The city
of New Orleans is spending 100000
in a campaign against mosquitoes,
and the chief city health officer IA
vors the use of minnows rather than
any other means that has been test
ed. Here again a remedy that crea.
ton seems to have supplied natural
ly for the work has been indorsed
after much expensive experimenting
in other lines.

Failure of a Philadelphia
Trust Company.
100000 DEFICIT
Is Found After Its President, Frank
X. Nipple, Dies-He Deceived
the Banks Directors.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Unable to meet
its obligations because of the
large amount of money loaned on in
sufficient security by its president
now dead, the Real Estate Trust Com
pany of Philadelphia, which up to last
Saturday was considered one of the
strongest financial institutions in the
city, closed it's doors Tuesday Soon
after the doors closed George Fl.
Earle, jr., prominent financier was
appointed receiver. The liabilities of
the company are placed at $10,000,000,
against which there are quick assets
of about S3,500,O00 and collateral of
about $S,000,00O which is not negoti-
able or readily convertible. This
doubtful collateral is held mostly as
security for loans of about S5,3OO,O0O
made to Adolf Segal, promoter of
this city.
The man responsible for the failure
was Frank X. Nipple, one of Philadel-
phia's best known citizens, who died
suddenly last Friday in his country
homo at Bryn Mawr, near here, under
circumstances which, in the light of
Tuesdays developments, lead to the
suspicion that he may have committed
suicide.
Mr.. Nipple, in addition to being
president of the Real Estate Trust Co.
was treasurer of the board of trustees
of the general assembly of the Presby-
terian church in the United States
and of several other church funds, and
was director of the Franklin nation
al bank. Recently Mr.. Nipples ac.
counts of the Presbyterian church
were examined by accountants and
were found to be correct, but it can.
not be stated positively whether all
the securities belonging to the gen.
eral assembly are intact.
For the loans to Adolf Segal, Hip.
pie accepted as collateral securities
of the Majestic hotel, big new apart.
ment house operated by Segal, the
Swedish Steel Co., of Lancaster, Pa,
and the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Co., of this city. The steel company
and the sugar refining concern have
never been placed in operation. Segal
claims the collateral he gave is good
and that he will meet all his obliga.
tions.
There are others to whom Hipple
loaned money ON insufficient security.
but their names have not been made
public and the sums are not believed
to be large. How far Nipple benefited
in the loans made or whether he was
merely the tool of others is yet to be
determined
In order to hide the true condition
of the company and save himself,
Ripple resorted to the Justification of
his reports, which were accepted as
true by the directors. He used what
the receiver termed double system"
of making reports. When the state
bank examiner called, Nipple present
ed to him good securities to offset the
loans made, and when the president
made his reports to the directors he
would show them a bundle of securi
ties and along with these he would ex
hibit the certificate of the bank ex
aminer which showed that the ac
counts the examiner had investigated
were correct. The directors suppos.
ing the securities shown them were
the same, approved the reports.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY is
INDICTED ON 6,42S COUNTS

! fine OF $1,000 on each count would be
s6.428,e00. If Standard Oil is found
guilty under each count and the fine is
placed at the minimum of $4,000, the
total OF the fines would reach the as
founding figure of SIPS, 900.
Standard Oil promises TO contest the
battle at every step, and the first
strife will come when District Attor-
Esey Morrison appears before Judge
Rcshea to ask that the company be
required to furnish bonds for its ap-
nearance to answer the indictments.
On the earlier Indictment Judge
Bethea fixed the bond of the Standard
Oil company at $4,000, which has not
isesn given as yet. If the same ratio
is pursued the total demanded would
exceed SS,000,000.
John S. Miller, who has been re-
tzfned as special counsel by Standard
Oil. win resent the plea for bond. Mr..
Miller said:
Laughs at Bond Flea.
The Standard Oil company does
Es9t propose to resort to obstructive
tactics and will not unnecessarily de-
lay the hearing of the cases. 1t is
ridiculous, however, to ask the Stand
ard Oil company to give bond for its
appearance in court. The company
cannot run away. l have never heard
of corporation being compelled to
give bail in criminal prosecution"
The indictments returned far en-
coed any advance estimate of what
the two grand juries have been doing
in their secret sessions, yet it is de-
clared to be apparent that the reports
ave but the beginnings of the govern
nsent's battle against Standard Oil
The indictments referred simply to re-
kate giving and receiving, and were
returned as under the Elkins inter-
state commerce law of 1887. The
v;cstIy more important phase of the
proceedings WITCH are now the upper
most eRdeavors of the Roosevelt ad-
ndinistration as betokened by the
policy which has been mapped out
by the president and Attorney Gen
eraI Moody is to bring Standard Oil
to an accounting as violating the
Sherman antitrust law, as corpora
sion acting in restraint of trade.

A New Departure in Banking.

Is the time-honored phrase "in
banking hours" to become obsolete
A step, at least, in this direction has
been taken in the establishment, in
the city of New York, of bank that
never closes except on Sundays and
holidays. 1t does business day and
night. At this bank money passes to
and fro across the counter from dawn
to dawn. What would Father Knick.
erbocker say to midnight banking? =?
asks the Four-Track News. And yet
why not? 1t is one more great con.
venience added to modern life. 1t
typifies the spirit of our age. Every.
thing must be ready to our hand. We
will not wait until tomorrow for the
thing that we want to-day. The but.
tons of our desires must be where
we can press them at will. We tele-
phone, telegraph, travel at midnight
and now we bank at midnight. 1t
Is the logic of events; the answer to
the onrush of modern life

Alum Baking Powder is Wholesome

report concerning Baking Powders,

He says that IL the quantity of alum

baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful of food.

The Educational Spirit.

DIR. Andrew S. Draper, writing on
the trend of our modern education in
Appletons for August, closes his pa
per with this significant paragraph:
'No one can foresee the destiny oil
the republic, but that there is an ed
ucational purpose abroad in the land
which has never before been so per-
vasive and so ambitious in any land
seems clear. 1t is the spirit of
mighty people, gathered from the
ends of the earth, enlightened by the
world experiences of a thousand years.
1t is the spirit of people with out
look and expectancy. They expect TO
use the wealth and the political power
of the nation to make certain that
every son and daughter OF the nation
shall have the fullest and freest ed
ucational opportunity. The functions
of the state concerning every manner
of educational activity, in and out OF
schools, are being steadily enlarged
and strengthened through the initia-
tive or the common desire of the null
titude. Growing appreciation is CIV
ing greater heed to the advanced in
stitutions and bringing them to the
aid of all institutions, and therefore
to the intellectual quickening of the
entire country. Everything that the
nation, the state, or the municipality
can do to aid true learning, without
any injustice, it is to be made to do.
And the learning which aids doing.
and the culture which is the product
of labor, are to be of the most
worth"

DUTY OF PROMINENT CITIZENS

A cty's government is no better than
the men at it's head, who administer it's
affairs and fill its offices. When these
men are of high class, Of recognized
business standing and pre-eminent
ability the administration of public
affairs is correspondingly adequate.
When they are small, self-seeking and
petty so is the government they fur
nish.
Los Angeles just now is confronted
by a crisis in it's progress. For two
months it's public business has been tied
up and the wheels of it's municipal
machinery have been stopped by the
petty disputes of politicians whom 1t
elected to office. Ordered by the char
ter to name and confirm a board OF
public works, these men have wasted
two months in fruitles folly, bantering
back and forth, playing for political ad-
vantage and venting personal spites
These men. elected by the city to serve
the city, have called down upon them
selves the criticisms of the people.
Finding themselves in this situation,
the citizens have found 1t necessary to
step in between these warning officials
and to demand that action be taken to
permit the city to assume again its
career of progress, Awed by the storm
they have raised and confessing their
impotence either to quel it or to lift
themselves above 1t, the politicians
have agreed to accept for the public
works board the men chosen by the
citizens committee.
This committee has about united on
certain men whom it seeks to have ap-
pointed on the board of public works.
The men are reported to be among the
best trusted. best fitted and most rep
resentative in the city. They are men
of large affairs, quite above the aver
age, men who have made successes in
private walks Of life and in whose
hands the tremendous projects now
confronting the city would be emlnently
safe
But" these men say, 1--WE cannot
give the city our whole time. as the
charter requires. Our private busl-
ness will not permit. We cannot af-
ford to sacrifice it for the city's good"
The city faces a crucial point; enor-
nous projects are demanding atten-
tlon; the owens river water plan is to
be developed; sewer and paving works
Of wide extent are to be administered.
Los Angeles demands and requires the
services of Just such men as have been
tentatively mentioned for these places,
and no private consideration whatever
weighs at all in the balance against the
city's interests. They must serve. No
mans private interests are paramount
to his civic duties. and the latter he
