SALMON CASE CALLED
Prominent Missouri Banker Placed on
Trial Under indictments for Re-
cciving Money When Bank Was In
solvent.

y Warsaw, Mo. March 2S.-Efort is
being made here today to secure jury
TO try the case against Major Harvey
w. Salmon, charged with grand lar
ceny in connection with the failure OF
the Salmon & Salmon bank. OF Gin
ton. which closed its doors In June,
1905, with liabilities of Sl,OOo.ooo. Ma
jor Salmon and Dr. G.. Y. Salmon have
been prominent in business and politics
in Missouri since the civil war. A
month after the failure the receiver re-
ported assets of face value of $780,
600 and liabilities OF s1,0o000o But
in these asseH were included sssl'ooo
bills receivable, nearly all of them al
legged to be of spurious character.
Investigation developed that the bank
had been in questionable condition
for some time as result OF cattle
deals of the Salmons, and the taking
by n. M. Casey, the cashier, OF the
banks funds to pay the debts OF his
father George NJ. Casey, an extensive
cattle operator. who failed in 1904.
Thirteen indictments for forgery were
returned against Casey; six against
both Dr. and Major Salmon for grand
larceny, in receiving deposits when the
bank was insolvent, and four against
Dr. Salmon's son. Frank. for grand lar
ceny Casey pleaded guilty last year
and received sentence of five years in
the penitentiary. The Salmons are TO
be tried separately.

Hartman Wants No More Conferences.
New York. March 2S.--E. II. Harri-
man said yesterday when asked for his
opinion of Jacob H. Schiff's plan for a
conference between the interstate COM
merce commission and committee of
railroad presidents, that the best way
to clear up the railroad situation was
not to arrange conferences, but for con-
gress to amend the Sherman antitrust
act, so that the railroads could make
agreements among themselves.
Then we railroad men, he contin-
ued, could look each other in the
face and do business as other people
do. Give the railroads a chance to
make contracts between themselves re-
garding the handling and distribution
of traffic, and the railroad situation
would pretty soon right itself"
