]. Dalzell Brown, the i'm
prisoned manager of the Cali
fornia safe deposit and trust
company, has made a confes-
sion to the bank commission.
By his own words he stands
convicted of an ofense for
which he can be sent to state
prison for a term of 10 years.
Brown has confessed that hc-
titious entries were made in
the books of the bank. The
confession was not exactly a
voluntary one, but came after
Brown had been subjected to
a long sweating process by
Commissioners Garoutte and
Shefer. Finally, when Brown
was cornered, he blurted out,
eyes, it's true;- those entries
do not represent real transac-
tons"
The entries which Brown has
confessed were false related to
two items each of 100000, which
appeared as assets of the bank.
These items, as recorded on the
books, made it appear that the
California safe deposit and trust
company had on deposit 100000
in each of two New York banks
Brown maintained until almost to
the end of the interview with the
commissioners that the entries
represented genuine assets, but
when pressed further for COM
plete explanation, he broke down
and admitted the truth
Brown was called into the Of
fees of the commission to explain
some doubtful entries. He was
turned over to Commissioners
Garoutte and Sherer, who sought
to straighten out the tangle.
What do these two entries repR
resent, ? asked Garoutre-
They are cash items carried by
the bank, explained Brown with
a smile
Available assetssy continued
Garoutte.

serted.

DISEASED MEAT
SITUATION BECOMES
MORE ALARMING
<rz~.;,,.o1 f,-,,, Dave Owe,
(Continued from Page One.)

DR.. Wagner stated that he intended
to remain firm in all cases which
came before his attention at the local
butche ring establishment, and further
said that he was not here agitating To-
cal meat inspection for all butchering
establishments, for any remuneration
which he might receive, as many
butchers, opposed to government in
spection, had been wont to circulate,
since he had discovered several cases
at the abattoir.
The inspection question in Richmond
is gaining momentum and the people
of the city are thoroughly alarmed
over the existing conditions. 1t was
learned by the Palladium yesterday,
that several butchers were fighting
any idea of government inspection for
fear they would lose several carcasses S,
which would be financial loss to
them.
The dairymen of the county and
large stock dealers, are also up in
arms, and Councilman Leftwick adj
mitted last night in his interview, that
already several men had approached
him, stating their opposition.
Since the killing of the young heif-
err last week, which showed symptoms
of having the worst developed case,
several farmers have refused to sell
their animals to the abattoir in that
they are afraid that one of them will
be condemned, which would necessa-
rily blacken the remainder of their
herds. The farmer of whom the heif-
er was purchased. refused to sell the
remainder of his herd to the abattoir
because that company asked for a tu-
berculin test before they purchased
the animals, so that it would not have
to stand the loss. after the cows were
bought and butchered. 1t was also
learned that this same farmer had sold
several of his animals to other butch
ering ESTABLISHING nts where there was
no government inspection.

New Test of Death.

Although it is asserted by nearly
every practicing physician that the
possibility of being buried alive can
only occur where a medical examina.
ton has not been made. an eminent
German physician and surgeon states
that a stronger, absolutely reliable
guarantee for discerning actual death
is still demanded. and the demand has
been met by the discovery Of a new
medium for ascertaining death with
perfect certainty. This new death test
consists in injecting a solution of fluo
rescein deep into the tissues. If circu
lation exists, the skin and mucous
membranes become very yellow and
the eyes assume the color of emeralds
If the circulation has ceased none of
these results occur. The discoverer
proposes that at least two hours before
the body is placed in a coffin such an
injection with duorescein be made. II
life is not yet extinct the injection
does no harm, and the coloring within
short time entirely disappears with
out the slightest injury to the patient.

Schedule is Prepared.

Marion, Ind. Feb. 27.-With' the
cities of the Interstate Polo League
announcing post-season games of polo
there have been some doubts in the
minds of local fans whether the short
season series of games in Indiana
would materialize. Manager Ben Lar
rimer. of the local polo rink, is quite
sanguine. however, that all will be
we'll. and that Indiana will have four
weeks of the finest polo eyer played
To substantiate this, he has shown
the schedule which will most likely
be adopted. 1t was prepared by d. II.

Evelyn was called by Jerome. She
denied she had told her brother after
her return from Europe that Thaw
mistreated her and insulted her.
Didn't you tell Howard that Thaw
threatened you at the point of re-
volver?'

Jerome then excused her. Delmas
called DR.. Bingaman, the Thaw family
physician. Bingaman told of Thaw's
strange conduct while in the Tombs
last fall.
Meanwhile Delmas explained that
he thought he would be through his
side of the case this week.
Much to her disappointment, Eve
1yn was not allowed to remain in the
court room at the side of her hus-
band. She cried when compelled to
leave.
Smiled Through Tears.
Evelyn and Mrs. j. J. Game came
into the court room at 1885 o'clock
before the trial was opened and took
seats with the Thaw lawyers. Evelyn
sat next to the defendants chair AS
soon as court was convened Thaw'S
lawyers told Evelyn and Mrs. Game
that they must leave the room. They
were both visibly distressed and dis
appointed. Tears came into Evelyn's
eyes. As she walked slowly out Har-
ry h Thaw had just been called 10
the bar. Evelyn stopped at the ante
room door and smiled through her
tears at him. He smiled back and she
then quickly disappeared.
Lawyer Delmas paid a visit to
Thaw in the Tombs this morning. the
first time he has gone there on trial
day On his return he said regarding
Thaw: Harry is happy today. He
is of a sanguine temperament and he
is always buoyant. He is very conf
dent of the outcome of the trial.
Jerome explained that he wished TO
follow a trayersable fact in rebuttal
testimony. To do this under the
rules he must have called Evelyn's
attention to the subject Evelyn was
called.

Selecting Gloves,

In selecting pair OF gloves the best
plan is to test the kid by stretching 1t.
Take the side seams between the
thumbs and fingers and pull. IL the
kid is soft and pliable. the pores small,
even and not specially noticeable and
the glove Immediately takes on its
original shape it gives evidence of not
only being elastic and therefore full OF
new life, but of being OF fairly good
quality. The heavy walking gloves can
be tried in the same way, but as sure
a test as any is in smelling them, and
II there is a rather fragrant odor like

noon linen suits show many interest

same general lines as last season.
there are decided differences. One Of
the chief is the use Of the sloping
shoulders. Trimming is also much
seen on the upper part Of the sleeves.
The skirts are more circular and
