CURTIS ORDERED 1T.
Former Official of Bank of North
America Explains.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE big loans
made by the National Bank of North
America to two clerks in a brokerage
office as testified to yesterday in the
trial of Charles w. Morse and Alfred
H. Curtis were authorized by President
Curtis of the bank and were made over
the protest of the assistant cashier ac
cording to testimony given when the
trial was resumed today. 1t was Adolph
RADIO, former assistant cashier of the
defunct bank, who gave the testimony
regarding the loans. He had identified
the bank loans yesterday and when the
trial reopened today he was called to
the witness stand. When he was in
formed about the big loans made to
Leslie w. Whiting, a 19year-old clerk,
employed in a brokerage office at a sal
airy of $12 a week he said he person
ally had made protest against enter
ing the first loan in that account. Mr..
Curtis, the president of the bank at
that time and now one of the defend
ants in the present proceedings had
gone to the loan cage and directed
that the Whiting loan be entered. RADIO
said he thought at the time that the
loan was peculiar and because of this
he placed the initials A. H. c., oppo-
site the loan entry on the banks books.
When Mr.. Curtis told me to enter a
loan to Whiting of s164.000 on 1000
shares of Ice, protested said RADIO.
Mr.. Curtis replied that it was all
right. He said Mr.. Morse had made
a great deal of money for the bank
and my objection to the Ice stock as
collateral was not well grounded. Mr.
Morse was going to put the Ice stock
up 80 or 40 points before October 1,
Mr. Curtis told me. and he told me to
go ahead and obey orders
RADIO said that at the time he did
not consider Ice stock as good col
lateral behind a loan of that magnitude
with no other stocks or security.
RADIO said that the 1000 shares of
Ice served only occasionally as actual
collateral for the S164,000 loan to

success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ngly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
taxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

INDIANS ARE HERE.
They Came Up From Hasken'in Full
Force.

The Indians are here. The have
brought their football team, their
band, their fathers, their mothers,
their sweethearts and their yells. All
are on exhibition at the Washburn
grounds this afternoon, and from the
sounds that frequently come stealing
down Kansas avenue they are making
plenty of noise.
Washburn is out in full force also
and today is football day in Topeka.
The Indians arrived over the Santa
Fe this morning, and they constituted
one of the biggest delegations of foot
ball enthusiasts brought to Topeka
from Haskell in years. The pretty In
dian maidens are attracting all the
attention of the Topeka laddie bucks
and the Haskell co-eds bid to "out-hit'
the charms of the Washburn lassies.
Haskell has the strongest team in
years and she wants the championship
of the state. A team that defeats
Washburn has a fine chance for cham
pionship honors, and Haskell realizes
it, The Indians are firm believers in
the theory that a football team cannot
win game without the spirit of the
school behind them, and they came to
Topeka to expound their theory.

pal cities of the state prepared
to make trouble wherever they
find the law being violated.
One of the common transgres-
sions to receive especial attention
is the selling of bad eggs whether
by grocers, farmers, or anybody
else. It seems that farmers are
particularly guilty in this offense.
When a rainy day gives him leis-
ure to look for eggs he finds a
hatful under the barn, some of
them being rally as a rule,
brings them to town and gets
sugar for them. The grocer
must take them or risk losing his
country trade. But if the grocer
does accept them he should not
sell them again or he Is liable,
