SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Closely
watched In their respective cells, past
which every few minutes a floor man
walked, Walter ]. Bartnett and ]. Dali
zell Brown spent their first Sunday In
the city prison. 1t was Browns sew
enth day behind the bars and Bart
nett's second
The difference in the demeanor OF
the two which has characterized them
since their first arrest was especially
noticeable today. Brown, outwardly
imperturbable as ever, smoked and read
necessarily. No sooner had he finished
one cigar than he lighted another, and
newspapers and magazines went down
in quick order before his voracious
reading. His only visitor during the
day was his son.
Bartnett was as nervous as girl
graduate on commencement day. He
fumed over the darkness of his cell,
which prevented his reading with any
degree of comfort, and held confer
ence after conference with his attor-
neys.
Despite the fact that he declared he
had had a good nights sleep. he looked
haggard beyond anything he has pre-
viously shown and seemed almost on
the verge of nervous breakdown.

was evident today that he, following
the lead of David r. Walker, the late
president of the bank, will try to place
on the shoulders of Brown the re-
sponsibility for the banks tangled af-
fairs. This was brought out In his
reply to questions regarding the $685.
900 which it was stated on the author
ity of Bank Commissioner John G.
Lynch, Bartnett had drawn out three
days before the bank closed it's doors.
'If any such sum was drawn in my
name,' said Bartnett, IT did not re-
ceive a cent of it. know nothing
about H. If it was drawn out and my
name entered in the books as having
received it, somebody has committed a
further crime. drew no lount what
ever at the time indicated In the state
ment"
Attorney Oscar Cooper, representing
Bartnett said today that Bartnett viii
tomorrow demand that his preliminary
examination be held forthwith, ano
that he ill call on the district attor-
ney to produce one scintilla of evidence
connecting him in any way with en-
bezzlement.
Brown declined to say anything re-
garding his case today c,claring that
he had nothing to add to previous In
terviews. He repeated his assertion
that he still expects to obtain ball.

cent crisis in the United States would

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Interstate

summoned from Washington by the crit
ical illness of his mother. If the condition
of Mrs. Lane permits, the commissioner
while here will hear the cases against the
Well-Fargo Express company. which is
charged with violations of the interstate

Commissioner Lane said: This case is
to come up some time before Christmas
I do not know how long it will take. II
concerns the reasonableness of the prac-
tice Of the company with regard to mixed
packages. I do not know what turn the
case is going to take.
"It is a case that will be of a good deal
of Importance to some shippers and to the
company itself, and 1T will be important
as establishing a precedent as to what the
law requires. L do not know what evi
dence will be presented. What 1 may dc
in this express matter will depend on my
mothers condition; there Is a possibility
that the case may not come up at this
time.
I'm the east the general condition, is
that the financial panic is wearing away,
and in comparatively short time things
will return to more of normal state. II
is generally regarded as more of a
bankers panic than an industrial panic
which it is not. Possibly we shall not see
any immediate return to such prosperous
times as we have had.
"Car conditions are very much better
throughout the whole United States than
they were. Very few roads are suffering
from severe congestion of traffic. Busi-
ness had been slack on the railroads for
three or four weeks, but it has been in
creasing during the last week. Districts
where coal famines maintained last year
took care of themselves during the sum-
mer.
This whole western country is not pro.
ducing enough coal for its needs. The
Union Pacific railroad is getting coal from
Illinois, despite the fact that 1t owns
mines at Rock Springs Wyo. Coal from
West Virginia, Pennsylvania. Tennessee
and Illinois is being carried farther

By Associated Press.

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-The effort of
Count Kuno Won Moltke to vindicate
himself in the trial which resulted from
accusations made by Maximilian Har-
den, editor of Die Kukunft, having
failed before the minor court the case
will nov be taken up by the states at
torney before a criminal bench of five
| judges
The second trial of Herr Harden will
begin tomorrow and fresh revelations
are awaited with tense expectancy by
the public, because it is believed that
much new testimony will be brought
out concerning the so-called Camarilla
surrounding the emperor Prince
Philip Zu Gutenberg, Count Won
Moltke's divorced wife, Frau Won Elbe,
and her son, Lieutenant Won Kruz, are
among the witnessed to be called.
1t is by no means certain that the
judges Will allow the testimony to take
range wide enough to elicit political
secrets of court, or anything that may
touch directly the person of the en-
peror.
The causes that have brought about a
new trial by the ministry of Justice are
somewhat obscure, but it has been re-
garded by the sober part of the COM
munity that Count Won Moltke was not
well supported in the first trial, and
limited to the legal issues.
The powerful classes have felt that
they were compromised by the proceed
ings and verdict of the lower court.
The officers of the corps resented the
broad assertion against the morality
and honor of the army, and strong roy
alists felt that the principle of mon
archy had lost prestige. The conser-
vatives generally regarded the country
as having been damaged in foreign
eyes.
Whatever may have been the consid-
erations, the ministry of justice SIM
ply wiped out the findings of the mag
istrate and took up the affair as though
it had never been tried before, institut-
ing proceedings against Herr Harden
for having crimnally wronged Count
Won Moltke.
Efforts have been made at the elev-
enth hour to compromise the case, but
Herr Harden declined to sign the dec
laration demanded by Count Won
Moltke. The latter will be represented
by DR.. Sello, one of the most distin
guished advocates of the German bar,

torney of the Berlin court, DR.. Isenbiel
