dramatically:

DEN MARK.
Copenhagen.

The Alberti affair still continues to
be the chief topic OF conversation, botR
in Copenhagen and all over the country
for that matter The "Politiken" char.
acterizes the whole affair as a national
calamity and a national shame, which
can never be obliterated. The "Danne.
brog," paper which Albert started,
hundreds of its regular subscribers. be
means the whole affair, but says that
Albert is strong enough to shoulder II
all. Their comment is In sympathy with
Alberti, but II can hardly be possible
that II can gain many friends for the
paper. A dispatch states that the other
day, a prominent lady declared at
dinner. which she gave to number of
her friends, that the Alberu scandal
should not be discussed at the table.
But soon the conversation began TO lag
and finally became painfully silent
Then the lady admitted that she was
playing losing game, and told the
guests that she would let loose Albert
upon them. All at once everybody had
something interesting to say about the
fallen idol.
There Is one court scandal after an
other. The latest sensa tion Is that fur
nisted by one Miss Esche, who publish
es charges OF scandalous immortality
among army officers at theVourt She
was finally sued by the public prosecu-
tor. and II will be interesting to note
whether or not she can prove her
charges.

Banker Curtis and Flnancler
Morse Are at Outs.
WILL TELL ALL The FACTS
Former President Of Suspended
Bank TO State Things as
They Happened.

New York, Oct 2S.-The expected
SPLIT between Charles w. Morse, bank
promoter, financier and "ice trust" or
aanizer, and Alfred H. Curtis, presi-
dent of the National Bank OF North
America, both OF whom are under In
dictment charging them Jointly with
violation of the national banking laws,
came with the swearing In OF Curtis
as the first witness for the defense In
the trial before Judge Hough in the
United States court here. Before be-
ginning Mr.. Curtis examination the
court had heard arguments on behalt
of both defendants on motions to dis
miss the indictments. and had yielded
on a few minor points, dismissing the
counts charging conspiracy and mis-
appropriation in one specific instance,
but maintaining fifty-fve counts charg-
ing over-certification, making OF false
ieports, misapplication and the use
of funds Of depositors for speculative
purposes.
Before calling the former president
| OF the suspended Bank Of North Amer
lea to the stand in his own behalf, Tor
mer Judge w. M. X. Olcott. Curtis
attorney, announced that he had per-
susded his client "to tell all the facts"
"My client hopes" said he, that MS
testimony will not injure any OF the
other directors or officers who had to
do with the management OF the ar
fairs of the Bank of North America.
II is not his purpose to point his fin
ger at any one individual and say
you did II, not L. He will, however,
tell the facts and state things as they
really happened"
/ Tells Of Hls Early Career. s
MIR. Curtis began his testimony by
relating his early career In the bank
ing business. He had started at four
teen in the Office Of Wall street bro
ker, he said, graduating ten years
later TO a clerkship In the Bank OF
the State OF New York, the institution
subsequently purchased by Morse and
merged with the Bank of North Amer
: ica. There he had advanced through
r the various grades to the position OF
cashier. IN which capacity he had
over.certified checks TO the amount
, of $4,000, 900, he declared.
z Morse was, at the time, vice presi-
dent and director OF the bank. During
an absence abroad Mr.. Morse was de-
? posed by President Edwards. Upon
! his return he obtained control OF the
bank by purchasing majority Of the
stock, Mr.. Curtis recounted, and after
. ousting Edwards, installed Curtis as
, president. Morse, the witness testt
fed, carried balance OF between
2 100000 and $4,000 with the bank
and had brought good many custom
, ers and depositors to It. When the
Carroll loan on 1000 shares of Ice had
come up for renewal in the name OF
Braun, of Primrose & Braun. Mr.
Morse had instructed him, the witness
said. to put It through. telling hin
that he would stand back of It and
guarantee II. At the time, Curtis ties
tined, he supposed Morse to be very
rich man, having heard his wealth
estimated at s22,00o,o00. It was there
fore not extraordinary, he thought,
that ne should accept Morse's guaran
tee as fully protective.

TO TAKE EFFECT DEC. I.
Western Roads Adopt Uniform Bill Of
Ladinq.


Chicago, Oct. 24.-By Dec. 1 or soon
thereafter the new uniform bill of lad
ing recommended by the interstate
commerce commission, which was
formulated by a joint committee of
shippers and railroad representatives,
will be in effect on practically every
railroad in the United States. All
freight shipments then must be made
according to it's contract provisions,
specifying exactly the liability of the
carrier for loss or damage and the
rates under which the freight Is trans
ported.
This uniformity was made possible
by the decision of representatives of
the Western lines at meeting in the
Railway Exchange building, when the
decision was reached to put the bill
into effect by Dec. 1 under practically
the same conditions as those adopted
by the Eastern lines, which will begin
using it on Nov. /.

SAN DIEGO. June 29-According to
reports received today from Mexico,
w. F. Walker, who is alleged to have
absconded from New Britain, Conn,
with $565 600 of cash belonging to the
bank of which he was cashier, has
played his last card and lost He has
been fighting extradition and the SUI
preme Court has denied his writ of
amparo, or habeas corpus 1t is pre-
sumed that as soon as the papers are
returned from the City of Mexico the
prisoner will be sent north on the
steamer st. Denis to this port, to be
taken hence to Connecticut to stand
trial
Walker has been in the Ensenada
Quartet since last December, fighting
against eXtradition. He has steadfast-
ly refused to say much regarding the
accusation more than that he has told
| the whole story to the officials of the
bank He claims that he has not got
a single dollar of the property of the
bank, asserting that the whole amount
was stolen from him in New York, and
that, while the people who got the
cash made their escape to South Anne
RIGA, he was sent to the Far West in a
doped condition.
He does not say VINO the people are
who robbed him, nor does he explain
what he was doing with the banks
money in New York He has claimed
his liberty in Mexico on the ground
that the Connecticut authorities did
not act in time, but this claim the
highest courts have now turned down.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Embassa-
dor Thompson at the City OF Mexico
today informed the Department of
State that on Saturday the Supreme
Court of that country held for eXtradi-
ton William f. Walker, the New Brit
ain banker, who absconded almost a
year ago and was captured in a min
ing camp while in disguise. Extradi
ton proceedings in Walkers case have
been pending for long time. He was
held for eXtradition by the local judge
at Ensenada, but his counsel initiated
proceedings in amparo and took the
case to the Supreme Court. Walker is
held at Ensenada and will be brought
to the United States, probably going
