New York Especially Charles W.
Morse. until year ago dominant
figure in the world of finance, and
Alfred H. Curtis, former president
of the National Bank of North Amer
lea, were found guilty in the criml-
nal branch of the United States Cir
cult Court on charges of misappli-
cation of funds and falsifying the
books of the bank. There was also
the additional charge of conspiracy
against the prisoners, but the jury
acquitted the men on this count.
Within five minutes of the time
the Jury had rendered its verdict
Judge Hough had refused to enter
tain a motion for bail and had COM
mitted the two bankers to the Tombs
prison. Judge Hough said that he
would hear any motion the lawyers
for the prisoners desire to make at
1920 o'clock tomorrow. His deci-
sion made It compulsory for the In
carceration of Morse and Curtis in
cells in the Tombs prison over night
The federal statutes provide a
minimum penalty of FIVE years Inn
prisonment for falsifying the books
of a bank and a penalty of two
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine,
or both, for misappllcation of funds.
No alternative but Imprisonment Is
provided for conviction on the
charge of falslfying the books of a
bank. The maximum penalty on
this charge is 10 years imprison-
ment The jury recommended Glenn
ency for Mr.. Curtis, but made no
recommendation in the case of Mr.
Morse.
Dramatic Scene.
The scene in the courtroom was
a dramatic one. Mrs. Morse and
Mrs. Curtis had remained in the
courtroom nearly the entire day
awaiting the verdict. Mrs. Curtis
showed signs of giving away to her
emotions a number of times, and
once, when the jury returned to the
courtroom to receive instruction on
the manner in which the conspiracy
charge should be considered Mrs.
Morse broke down and sobbed.
A large crowd had hurried into
, the courtroom to hear the verdict.
AS the doors leading to the jury
TOOlu were luTOWu open bllGuCG zen
upon the crowd and the noise made
by traffic in Broadway sounded harsh
as 1t fioated through the windows
1t could be seen from the solemn
faces of the jurors that an impor-
tant verdict was to be delivered.
No Conspiracy.
/ Foreman John Elder, responding
I to the customary question of the
court clerk, read the verdict. Mr
Morse and Mr.. Curtis stood before
the jury while Mr.. Elder was reading
the verdict and their wives sat neal
them, leaning forward in tense at
titudes to catch every word.
"We have agreed upon verdict
in the case of both defendants" said
the foreman, in a subdued voice
"On the charge of conspiracy We
find them not guilty" A look o.
relief came to the faces of the pris
oners and their wives, but it only
lasted atmoment, for Mr.. Elder con
tinued:

The Battle of Bangolango.

Tim Hurst, the famous baseball
umpire. in a western town recently
was one of a group to whom a young
soldier just back from the Philip
pines was relating the adventures of
his latest campaign.
"How many men did you lose?"
Tim asked.
1.-TWO killed and fourteen wound
ed" the soldier replied.
And you call that battle?'
81 sure do" said the youth. 1.-THE
battle of Bangolango."
'I'm glad you told me-" Tim re-
marked dryly. Il wasn't sure it
was a battle. Why out in the hard
coal region Of Pennsylvania. where
l came from, when the Hibernains

July, if they don't kill and cripple
more people than that they give out

IMPROVING 1--we STOCK.
Plans Furnished by the Minnesota
Farmers Institutes.

An excellent plan of organization
Of community breeders associations
is being put forth by the Michigan
College of Agriculture. The plan is
to organize the farmers of the COM
munity into associations. each asso-
citation to control 120 cows. One
farmer may put in 10 cows another
20, or any desired number. The as
ISOLATION is then divided into blocks.
each block containing 40 cows. Three
registered bulls are bought of the
chosen breed. and one placed with
each block Of cows. The cost may
be pro rated among the members
according to the number of cows
owned. At the end Of two years
the bulls are rotated, No l going to
block 2, No. 2 going to block 3 and
No. 3 going to block I. Two years
later the bulls are rotated again and
two years following that the bulls
are replaced by three new ones. A
service fee of 81 for members and
So for non-members is charged, thus
providing funds from which to de-
fray cost Of maintenance and hand
ing sires.
While the above plan is applied to
system of grading up native cattle
it can easily be adapted to the prob
lem of a neighborhood breeding of
pure bred stock, greatly reducing
the cost of bred sires and resulting
in a center for high class stock. The
division of animal husbandry of the
college Of agriculture, St. Anthony
Park, Mimi, will furnish rules and
bylaws for such an organization and
otherwise assist in establishing
such centers in Minnesota.

Telephone Railroad Service.

The telegraph as a means Of oper-
ating and blocking railway trains
appears to be going out of use. At
the recent meeting of the American
Railway Association, held in Chicago,
new epoch was begun in this
branch of the service by the unami-
nous adoption of the telephone as a
standard for train operating and
for blocking"
The action Of the association came
somewhat as a surprise, as it was
not generally known that the joint
committe on interlocking and block
signals was ready to make a strong
recommendation for this radical de-
parture. It's understood, however,
that the action taken has the hearty
approval of the committee appointed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. pursuant to an act of Con-
gress requiring an investigation in
to the signalling and operation on
American railways. This committee
together with the special committee
of the association, made an exhaus-
tive investigation into the phone
method Of train operation, including
blocking" Both committees visit
ed dispatching headquarters on var
ious railroads which had been sue
cessfully operating trains by phone
fora number of years, and were
amazed at the efficiency, speed, ia
cility and accuracy of the service.
1t was clearly shown that its actual
use has demonstrated its safety and
superiority. It was unanimously
recognized that it had been only
natural prejudice of operating men
who had grown up at the telegraph
key and the natural conservatism OF
railway arrangements which had
prevented an earlier and concerted
movement toward the use of the
use of the telephone.
This knowledge on the part of the
committee led to almost immediate
preparations by many roads for the
gredual substitution of the phone
for the telegraph. For example
four railroads leading out of Chica
go installed within short space o.
| time total Of nearly 5000 miles O
telephone on their main lines ant
began using them for the operation
of trains. On one road the substi
tuition Of the phone did away witt
the necessity Of nearly seventy tele
graph operators. These men wer
not, however, discharged from tn

When asked what the funniest
story he ever heard was, a man in
an adjoining town told the following:
At Sunday school the teacher
asked: "Who drove the children of
Israel into Canaan?" Not a child
answered and there was continued
silence after she had repeated the
question. Then the teacher, with
considerable spirit. said: You little
boy in the back seat, who drove the
children of Israel into Canaan?" He
was badly frightened but managed
to rise and say: 81 never did; we
just moved here from Missouri last
week."
Ed. Kane, Hutchinson Leader:
l suppose was the first farmer in
this section to do any thing and MAIDS
Madsen will tell you that | "kept at
him" until he went to making tile.
My first tile was laid Is years ago.
1t was made of two poplar poles
laid in the ditch and slab on top of
them. The end came out near the
road not far from my house and
water was flowing from it nearly
all of the time. Many passersby
thought there was a fine spring
there. That thing did good service
until two year age when it was
replaced with Hutchinson tile.
During the past three years l have
tiled all but 40 acres of my ITO acre

to receive treatment at St. Luke's

for some time, and early in the sea-
son received treatment at the sani-
tarium at Hudson, Wis, but has
been at home most of the summer.

Fairfax Standard: C. H. Hopkins
the Fairfax weather prophet, takes
issue with the Iowa weather man
whose predictions for cold winter
were published in the Standard of
last week. The Fairfax weather
man insists that the coming winter
will be the warmest for many years
and that blowing will be done in
practically every month year in this
section. He bases his prophecy on
the fact that the first snow of the
season came from the northwest this
year, and that the main snow storms
come from the direction of the first
storm and that years Of observation
has taught him that as a rule but a
small percentage of the heavy snow
storms come from this direction.
Mr.. Hopkins is willing to stake his
reputation as a weather prophet on
his prediction.
