CHIEF BENNETT SAYS
 FIREMEN DID WE'LL
Falling Walls Principal Cause of Fire Spreading to Adjoining
 Buildings.

After the fire was practically extin- he arrived at the scene of the conhagra- tion the flames had completely got past control.
 "The fire started in the rear of the Prowell Hardware company and spread rapidly towards the front. The firemen were obliged to fight the fire from the outside. 1t being impossible, on account of the dense smoke and flame, to send them inside.
 From the very first the Prowell Hard ware company was beyond being saved and our chief purpose was to prevent the spread to the adjoining buildings We. would have succeeded In confining the flames to the Prowell store if the back walls had not fallen on the roof of the next building. It was the falling walls that allowed the fire to spread to the extent 1t did.
 "rhe firemen worked courageously and well. I have no word of fault to find with either the men or the water sup ply.
 ''The men who were hurt are in the hospital The extention ladder was being placed against the back wall of the Bir- mingham Paper company at the time it slipped and injured .the men.
 T feel well pleased at saving the Chall- foux block, which at one time was in serious danger. It was fierce fire and the falling walls made 1t a dangerous one for the firemen."

STANDARD OIL CASE
 GOES TO THE JURY
Tension Between Counsel on Each Side Is Great and Crowd In Court
 Room Is Demonstrative.

Findlay, O., October 7.-After a trial of seven days the fate of the Standard oil company of Ohio, charged with con- spiracy against trade, was placed in the hands of the jury at s:So o'clock tonight The days proceedings were the most strenuous of the trial.
 Virgil P. Kline concluded for the de- fense and Attorney General Ellis for the prosecution. Judge Banker tonight read his elaborate charge and the jury retired to deliberate.
 The tension between counsel on either side, which has been on the increase as the case progressed, reached the breaking point today and hot words of criticism passed, the crowded court room became demonstrative, for the first time and the court sternly rebuked all concerned. The collision resulted from the receipt of 8 telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan oil company had to- day sold out to the Standard for s2,0O0,O00 The incident closed with a severe admoni- ton from the court, who said the jury was not to regard the matter.

St. Louis, October 17.-The first days session of the thirty-second annual con vention of the Bankers association was devoted almost entirely to the hearing of routine reports. There was one time dur ing the day when the deliberations of the convention threatened to become excep- tionally animated, and that was touching on the question of currency reform. The subject was not entered into today, how ever, being laid over for discussion to- morrow, when the federal executive com mittee will lay before the convention an elastic currency plan it has prepared.
 Currency reform is apparently the key note and main idea of the convention, and so many plans have been presented and suggested for consideration that confusion has resulted. Therefore, it is the unani- mous opinion of delegates that tomorrow's session will be characterized by warm

placed the responsibility for the convic- tion of his clients upon public opinion.
 You can't defend rate rebate cases in the present state of public opinion,'' he said.
 The charge against the New York Gen. trai and Pomeroy was based upon indict- ments found by the United States grand jury after many months of investigation. It was alleged that the defendants en- tered into an arrangement with the American Sugar Refining company, whereby Edgar & Son of Detroit were favored by a reduction of cents per hundred on sugar shipments from New York to Detroit from the regular traffic rate According to the provisions of the Elkins act, under which the convictions were secured. the maximum penalty Is fine of $2OO00. AS both the Central and Pomeroy are convicted by the decision the jury on all of the six counts charged in the indictment, the total fine for each can be $1200OO.

SHORTAGE IS FOUND
 IN SUB TREASURY
EXPERTS ARE GOING OVER CASH IN ST. LOUIS TO SEE WHAT HAS BECOME OF $61,5oo, WHICH AP- PEARS TO BE MISSING.

St. Louis, October 17.-The Republic to- day prints the following:
 Three expert accountants from the treasury department of Washington work ing under deputy United States treas- urer, counting more than $20, ,0OO,OO0 in the vaults of the United States sub-treasury, have discovered a shortage of s61,5O0.
 John E. Wilkie, chief of the United States secret service, is in the city, but declares that his mission has no connec- tion with the examination. He says he is here merely to attend the bankers con- Vention.
 United States sub-treasurer Thomas J. Akins admitted that the experts are in St. Louis. but said that no definite state ment would be made by him until the rep resentatives from Washington had fin- ished their investigation.
 "A mans reputation" said MT. Aklns, fis worth more to him than the loss of S6l,5O0 is to the government. If an error were made in checking money from the vaults to one of the cages, a recount of all the money on hand would reveal the error, and also the presence of the full amount of the money which should be in the vaults.
 "The present investigation will deter mine whether the accounts balance. Until then nothing can be said, and it would be unjust to connect the name of any em- ploye with the discrepancy at this time"
 Washington October 17.-The officials of the treasury department have been in- formed by T. J. Alkins, the assistant treasurer of the United States at St. Louis, that there is a probable shortage in the accounts of his office of about S6l 300. and at his request hls accounts are now being checked by the treasury ex- perts. At his request, also, Chief Wilkie of the United States secret service has been sent to St. Louis with a view of de- termining who Is responsible for the short age, if 1t is actually found to exist It is understood that the assistant treasurer in checking up one of the cages in his of- flee found the cash short to the amount stated, but on being confronted with the figures, the clerk in charge insisted that he knew nothing of the matter, and that there must have been an error in boo4.- keeping. MT. Akins, however was of the opinion that there was an actual shortage and asked the treasury department for prompt examination of his office.

 q am going to correct you, MT. Crom- we'll" answered MT. Fish. rising, ''I never said any such thing. What l did say was that I refused to discuss the matter with you in any way.
 At this point Henry Leman, a stock holder who had seconded most of the routine motions during the meeting, pre- cipitated a sharp exchange between him. self and MT. Cromwell by referring to the latter as nothing but paid attorney
 And who are you?" retorted Mir. Crom- we'll facing MT. Leman. Aren't you an attorney? What capacity are you here in?"
 T am not here as paid attorney; am here as a stockhelder. Can you show as clean hands?"
 You are a mighty convenient stock holder bobing up every time Mir. Fish pulls a string. seconding motions and asking questions" rejoined MT. Crom- well
 After several more exchanges of this kind MT. Fish called both men to order.
