Judge Lynch of the District
Court Makes an Order in the
Aetna Bank Affair.

Butte, Mont, Feb. By an order
signed by Judge Lynch of the state
district court this morning, Robert Nj.
Lyons. receiver in charge of the Aetna
bank, which failed in October, 1905. is
directed TO bring suit against F. Au-
gustus Henze, former director, and A.
3. Clements, former treasurer, for S97,
500, the amount of cash due for stock
held by Heinze in the bank and
which, it has developed, Heinze never
paid for. In the recent trial of Glenn
ents here for false certification, it de-
veloped that of the 100000 worth of
capital stock owned by Heinze, only
$500 of this was paid in, and that
Clements took il himself and gave his
note for it, shortly after the amount
was received.
Judge Lynch's order. in addition to
authorizing suit for $97, 500, directs that
interest from the time of the issue of
the stock not paid for be included in
the suit.
The deal appears to have been COM
plicated. Heinze owned capital stock
in the old Aetna Savings & Trust COM
pany, and when that went out of ex-
istence, deposited, in lieu of cash, this
stock in exchange for stock of the Act
ma Banking & Trust company, the con-
Germ now in the hands of a receiver.

the benefits of the service pension act
of July 81, 1892, as amended by the act
of June 81, 1902, to surviving partici-

MATTER LEFT TO

Bryan'S Reply to a Question
Asking if He Was a Candi-

IF PARTY WANTS HIM, GOOD

Philadelphia, Feb. S.-William Jen-
nings Bryan was entertained at lunch
con at the Racquet club here today as
the guest of Roland S. Moriss, president
of the Pennsylvania Democratic club.
Twenty persons were present. Prior to
going to the club, Mr.. Bryan was asked
by reporter whether he was a candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Mr.. Bryan dictated the
following reply:
Ought to Say So.
''If the voters of the Democratic par
ty want another than myself nominat-
ed at Denver. they ought to instruct
their delegates to that effect. II they
want me they ought to instruct their
delegates for me. 1t is not a matter to
be decided by me or by any small fac
ton of the Democratic voters. It is
for the majority of the Democratic vOt-
ers TO determine. In November last, to
stop misrepresentation which were go

Believing that in parties as i'm pop
ulaT government authority comes up to
the official from the people. 1 believe
that voters when they gather in their
communities should express themselves
on party principles and candidates and
then select delegates in harmony with
their ideas.
Instructions are Democratic because
the delegate has no authority except as
he receives instructions from the voter
and the delegate ought to say that
which the voters want said
To visitors Mr.. Bryan said:
Change Noticed.
Il have noticed of late a marked
change among the clergymen. They
were very largely opposed to me ten
years ago, and their views have
changed. This is a very hopeful sign
TO my mind. Now / am invited by min
listers to address conferences, and they
show in other ways that instead Of be-
ing hostile they are interested"

PORCH CLIMBERS
GET DIAMONDS
Operations Resumed on Brig
ham Street-HOme of J.
E. Jennings Looted.
TURN TRICK AT EARLY HOUR
LOSS is CONSIDERABLE BUT NOT
DEFINITELY ESTIMATED.

Porch climbers again visited Brig
ham street last night. They entered
the residence Of James E. Jennings,
president of the Breeder Office Supply
company. at 425 East Brigham street,
and carried off a quantity OF valuable
jewelry while Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings
were at dinner The robbery was COM
mitted as deity as any of the numer-
Gus jobs credited to Joe Garcia, the
porch climber. whose departure from
Salt Lake was hailed as the end of the
activities of the porch climbers in the
northeastern residential district.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings are not yet
able to tell the exact amount of the
loot of the thieves. Several diamond
rings, a gold watch and other jewelry
are missing.
The porch climbers must have enter
ed the jennings house about $50
o'clock last night. Mr.. and Mrs. Jen-
nings were at the dinner table at that
hour. Near the end of the meal Mrs.
Jennings thought that she heard some
body moving in a room overhead. She
listened a moment and, not hearing
repetition of the sound. finished din
ner. But on leaving the table. being
still disturbed by the recollection Of
what she had heard, she ascended to
the upper floor.
Marks of Muddy Feet.
Near the window of the bedroom she
found her work basket overturned.
Wondering what could have caused
this, she glanced at the curtains and
saw the marks of muddy feet upon
them. This convinced her that the
house had been entered by thieves.
But a hasty search Of the room failed
to show that anything was missing.
Then she opened the drawer of a dress
er in which she kept her jewels and
found all of the valuables gone. The
intruders had used a key in opening
the drawer. After securing the jewels
they had locked the drawer again. ap-
parently hoping that Mr.. and Mrs.
Jennings would retire for the night
without discovering the loss.
The robbers had entered the room by
climbing the front porch and raising
a window which had been left unfas-
tened.
Finger marks were found upon one
of the posts, showing how the thieves
had assembled to the upper floor and
then descended with the loot
1t is believed that the thieves over
turned the work basket in making
their escape from the house, and that
this was the noise heard by Mrs. Jen-
nings at the dinner table.
