CONGRESSMAN is CHARGED WITH
FRAUD IN BANK FAILURE.
THREE OTHERS IN SAME BOAT
Accused Representative Says Men
Who Voted True Bill Are
His Enemies.

Norwalk, Ohio-As a result OF
the grand jury investigation Of
the recent failure of the Ohio Trust
Company, four prominent citizens are
under indictment, including j. F. Lam
ing, republican congressman from the
14th Ohio district, and already renom.
mated by the district convention.
The others indicted are James G.
Gibbs, F. w. Christian and William
Perrin. These charges are made
against Laning:
Inducing people to deposit money in
the Ohio Trust Company by false
statements.
Apprepriating stock owned by the
bank and using it as security for per-
sonal loans.
Fraud in the lease of the Harry
French property, Cleveland, to the

charges to a finish.
Other indictments probably will fol-
low the inquiry now being made by
the Jurors into the failure of the Nor

gen. BUTLER DEAD
HE CONDUCTED OPERATIONS FOR
THE RELIEF OF LADYSMiTH.
fought BATTLE At colENso
He Was at the Head of the British
Army in the South African
Transvaai.

London-Sir Redyers Henry Bull
Ter, the famous English general
who conducted the operations for the
relief of Ladysmith in the Boer war,
died Tuesday. He was born in 1889.
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler came into
considerable prominence during the
Boer war, between the Transvaal re-
public and Great Britain, in South
Africa. In October, 1899, an army
corps of $4,000 men was placed under
orders for South Africa and Gen. Bull
Ter was gazetted as commander-in-
as the man of the hour and he was
credited with saying he would "eat
Christmas dinner in Pretoria"
1t was during the siege of Lady
smith that Gen. Sir Redvers Butler
came most prominently into the lime
light. 1t vas in December, 1899, that
Ladysmith was besieged by the Beers.
Sir George White was shut up in that
city with 10000 troops. When Gen.
Butler reached Natal he allowed HIM
self to be persuaded to abandon his
original plan of campaign. He decid-
ed to go at onc to the relief of Lady
smith.
Historians and military authorities
have since agreed that Ladysmith did
not need relief. White had plenty of
stores and ammunition and could have
held GU for some time. Be that as 1t
may, Gen. Butler started out to re-
lieve Ladysmith.
On December Is, after a dreary
wait, Butler attempted to force a pas
sage across the Tugela river, at Co.
lenso. His guns were ambusned and
his entire force driven back by the
Beers.
1t was at this time that he sent the
message to Sir George white which
caused that general to SURRENDER Lady.
smith.
On the heels of this disaster, Gen.
Butler was relieved of the command
of the British army in South Africa
and was succeeded by Lord Roberts.
with Lord Kitchener under him.
Gen. Butler went back to England
and in after years he made various at.
tempts to explain his action in regard
to Ladysmith.

LOCKED IN CAR TEN DAYS,
Sixteen HaIf-Starved Chinese from
Mexico UnIoaded in Frisco.

San Francisco, Cal.-When a
sealed box car, which apparently had
come intact from Galveston, Tex, was
opened in the Southern Pacific yards
Thursday, 16 h~alf-starved Chinese
were found, in addition to a half a
load of heavy steel. The car was ten
days on the road and had been in the
yards for 4S hours. The Chinese had
a little water and a few crackers left,
but were weak and hollow-eyed. One
of them showed a certificate emitting
him to admission to the country, but
the others were turned over to the
immigration authorities. 1t is sup
posed by the officials that the men
were smuggled across the Mexican
border and placed in the car at Ell
Paso, the seals of the car being re-
placed with others. There evidently
was an arrangement for their release
here, but in some way it miscarried.

other day. Asked by Senator Bacon if
the provisions of the employers liabil-

on the subject, he replied they would
supersede" the state laws. Pressed to-
explain, he said ito annul a statute is to
disregard it, to ignore it and render it
a dead letter, but to supersede it is to
overlap it with a greater jurisdiction"
Amidst laughter Mr.. Bacon retorted
that it was a distinction without a
