should be guaranteed to the
men of this republic; the ami.
versary of that date on which
the message was sent to earth's
poor that henceforth they should
stand equal in their original
privileges with the highest in
the land, that every place and
every opportunity should be
open to them and that no op-
pressive law should restrict any
man from doing any legitimate
thing. On this glorious day of
the calendar of the world the
people of this vicinity, and some
from quite distance, gathered
in this city and assisted in car.
rying out the principles that our
forefathers established and

tically carried through the ages
of history of the American peo-
pie. The gathering was one
which is seldom seen, it was

New York, Jan. Ask hundred no

obtained from the municipal courts
Friday by the East Side landlords

the landlords may be forced into sub

ne FALsIFIEO THE BOOKS
A Sensational Chapter Added to the
Bank Exposures.
San Francisco Bookkeeper confesses
to Criminal Work In Trust
Company Scandal.

San Francisco, Jan. 4.-Another sen
sational chapter was added to the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
company scandal Friday when H. L
storrs, one of the bookkeepers of the
concern broke down under mercilesi
cross-examination and contested that
the false entries In the books were in
his handwriting, and had been made
under orders from J. Dalzell Brown,
the imprisoned manager Of the bank,
and J. D. Robertson, the fugitive AZ.
sistant secretary.
The confession made BY St6frs was
complete in every respe8 and estab-
lished the fact that nearly $f,6060oO
had been falsely added to the assets
Of the bank In order to deceive the
state commissioners. More than $780,
600 had been fraudulently added to
the account Of Brown, Walter J.
BARNETT and the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Coal company alone. In
order to balance the books, he said
that a like sum had been charged
against depositors in the bank.
The confession Of Storrs was made
in the bank building at California and
Montgomery streets after he had been
subjected to searching examination
by Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook and Theodore Kytka, the
expert.

Out tuberculosis Among
Cows In New York.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Representa
tives Of the State Cattle Breeders
association, the state department Of
agricultural and Speaker Wadsworth
OF the assembly conferred with Gov.
Hughes Friday regarding proposed
legislation for the protection of this
state against tuberculosis cattle. Gov.
Hughes, in his message, emphasized
the importance Of the subject.
It was the opinion Of the cattlemen
that 100000 would be needed to
stamp out the disease in this state.
They said It would be necessary to
inspect all cattle in the state; to
slaughter all diseased cattle, and to
reimburse the owners at least 60 per
cent Of the value of their cattle.
These figures are based on the report
that there are approximately 1,70O, 900
COWS in the state, 20 per cent of which
are suspected.

to four months imprisonment and Il

emit and the former trial
When the court re.assenbled at 1
quarter before six Friday evening the
scene was an impressive one. The
i've judges constituting the pena
bench took their seats with the presi
dent Of the court In the center. The
only lawyers present were the att0r
neys for the state and the attorneys
for the prosecution and the defense
Macmillan Harden and Count Kuno
Won Moltke sat on opposite sides Of
the courtroom, which was crowded to
It's fullest capacity. The president OF
the court at once delivered his judg-
ment.
Articles published by Macmillan
Harden In Die zukunft several
months ago alleged that Emperor VIII
liam was surrounded by 9 camarilla
that exerted an injurious effect in pc.

Of this group, particularly Prince
Zu Gutenberg. at one time German am
bassador at Vienna; General Count
Kuno Won Moltke, formerly military
governor of Berlin and General Count
Wilhelm Won Hohenau, ex-commander
Of the guard corps, Were men Of alb
normally vicious tendencies and prac-
tees. After Harden had refused o
challenge to meet him III d duel, Won
Moltke brought suit against him for
defamation Of character. The hearing
Of. this suit began October %, and a
vast amount Of scandalous matter was
elected. Won Moltke denied Ell the
charges, but the result was the ac-
quittal Of Harden, and Won Mo1tk6
was condemned to bear the costs.
The vindication Of Harden was fol-
l6wed by the announcement that he
was to be tried on the charge Of Grim
lnal libel by the public prosecutor Of
the first provincial court. This was
The trial that has just come to an end. |
The case was heard before a penal
bench Of five Judges. Some Of the
were held in camera, 1t
being desired to avoid a repetition Of
he previous publicity given to the
evidence bearing ON abnormal prac-
ices. Some Of the persons who testi-
led one way at the first trial, among

Harden does. not come as a surprise.
