"A Spiders Web.

It Is hard to realize how small
spiders web really Is. A famous mi
croscopist once made some interesting
comparisons Of cobweb with human
hair.
81 have often compared the size of
the thread spun by full grown spiders
with a hair of my beard" he says. 81
placed the thickest part of the hair
before the microscope, and, from the
most accurate Judgment l could form,
more than 100 of such threads placed
side by side could not equal the diam
eter of one such hair. If, then, we sup
pose such a hair to be of a round form
1t follows that 10000 threads spun by
the full grown spider, when taken to-
gether, will not be equal in substance
to the size of single hair To this, IL
we add that 400 young spiders at the
time when they begin to spin their
webs are not larger than one full
grown one and that each Of these
minute spiders possesses the same or
gans as the larger ones, 1t follows that
the exceedingly small threads spun by
these little creatures must be still 400
times slenderer and consequently that
100000 of these minute spiders
threads cannot equal in substance the
size OF single hair"

Defense Fights Testimony of Frederick
w. Mclean and Witness Occupies
Stand Entire Day-To
Resume Story

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-Constant wrangling
between attorneys, caused for the most
part by numerous objections by the de-
Tense to the testimony of Frederick w.
Mclean, former cashier of the Chicago
National bank, delayed progress in the
trial of John r. Walsh, charged with
misapplication of the funds of the insti-
tuition, today.
Mclean took the stand in the morning
to identify series of memorandum notes
which he asserted he had made out and
signed with various names, later dis
counting these instruments on orders
from Walsh. So vigorous, however were
the objections of the defense to this line
OF testimony that the cashier had not
finished his story when adjournment time
came. He will resume the stand Monday.
Five notes. each for $4,000, were brought
before the jury, Mclean testifying that he
had signed and discounted them in obe-
dience to the orders Of Walsh.
When the notes fell due, he said, he
made out new ones in their stead, sign
ing the same names as before. The old
notes, he said, were paid by means of
discounting tickets and then destroyed.
The same collateral. 100000 in bonds of
the Illinois Southern railway, was accept
ed by the bank for the old and new
notes.

guardsmen, under arms for five days.
awaiting sthe word expected at any mo-

him that the bill was just, Assemblyman

APPEAL FROM CONVICTION is
HEARD
Conspiracy Not Proved Is Contention
of Former Mayor of San Franz

tentiary Term
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-The dis
trict court of appeals heard today argn-
ments on the appeal of former Mayor
Eugene e. Schmitz from his conviction
for extortion in the French restaurants
cases and his five-year sentence in the
penitentiary. The court decided to hear
the argument on the motion to dismiss
the appeal and the case on it's merits at
the same time.
C. W. Cobb, appearing for the state,
moved to have the appeal dismissed on
the ground that it had been made before
judgment was filed The arguments, how
ever, were on the merits of the case.
j. C. Campbell, for Schmitz. argued at
length that the prosecution had not proved
a conspiracy to hold up the French res
taurants and that the whole case thereby
failed. Answering a question by Judge
Cooper, Campbell asserted that no evil
dence connecting Schmitz with the bribery
was brought out in the trial except the
testimony of Ruef. Campbell asserted
that Judge Dunno committed serious
error in directing Schmitz to answer tn
prosecutors question whether Ruef had
paid him any part of the $4,000 in extorted
money.
At the conclusion of CampbelFs argu-
ment Attorney Fairall spoke for an hour.
This afternoon the arguments for the pep
pie were presented by Attorney Cobb.

ASSEMBLY ADOPTS SENATE
BANK INVESTIGATION BILL

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.-The assembly
tonight adopted the senate substitute for
Senator Leavitts concurrent resolution
calling for the appoin tment of a special
| legislative commission to investigate the
banks and trust companies and the bank
ing laws of this state, which was adopted
by the senate today.
The resolution was bitterly fought on
the floor of the lower house for three
hours. The opposition was led by As
semblyman John Drew and Assemblyman
Grove L. Johnson, while Stanton, Wyatt
and Coghlan urged the necessity of such
an investigation and fought the matter
to successful conclusion.
In the upper house this afternoon Sena-
tor Anderson endeavo-ed to have his res
olution substituted for the committee sub
stitute for Leavitt's measure, but was
defeated
Anderson's resolution called for COM
mittee of but one member of each house,
empowered only to subpoena the bank
commissioners and through them learn the
condition and methods of the banks.
Leayitt's measure calls for the appoint
ment of three senator's and three assem-
blymen with power to investigate the
banking institutions and corporations.
Senator Anderson declared that the
banks were never in better condition than
today and that the fault lay in the fact
that the people had lost confidence in
them.
1.-THE banks are all right and the people
are all wrong" said he
Senator Belshaw argued against the
substitution. He ventured the opinion
that even If the bank commissioners were
called before the committee to explain the
conditions and methods of banks they
wouldn't know what they were talking
about"
"These bank commissioners don't know
anything about banking" declared he,
because they are not bankers. It's the
same in every line. If we want TO know
something about law we consult with the
lawyers. They argue and disagree and
in the end we really don't know anything
about law. 1 know that, because am a
lawyer" said he with smile.
When the resolution came up in the
lower house tonight John of San Luis
Obispo took the point of order that the
resolution was not germane to the gov
ernor's proclamation. He was ruled out
OF order
Stanton Of Los Angeles made strong
argument for the measure. Drew of
Fresno offered an amendment to instruct
the bank commissioners to carry out the
provisions of the resolution instead of a
legislative committee being appointed.
