Moss declares that St. Louis is the

it is worse than New York, Paris,

OkLAHOMA'S BANKING LAW
The Measure Has Served to Restore
Public Confidence.

Public Confidence.
Guthrie, okla, April 9.-When
the solons of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture passed a law requiring all state
banks to subscribe to a fund for the
protection of depositors against loss
through bank failures, the wise men
of the East INDUCED in some very
flippant and cynical criticisms of the
scheme and declared that it would
be failure. While the period of less
than two months that has elapsed
since the law became effective may
not have been sufficient to provide a
fair test, there is every proba bility
that the Oklahoma law has come to
stay and that other states will be
forced to pass similar laws in order
to protect their own banks.
Whatever may be said against the
law, it has served to restore public
confidence in the banks and to bring
out much money from hiding. The
national banks have generally stood
aloof from the law, and have suf-
fered somewhat from the comDeti-
tiOn of the State-guaran banks
While there has been no remarka BILE
rush of money from other states,
hundreds of people have taken ad-
vantage of protection afforded by Ok
lahoma banks to send their savings
| here. At first, these importations of
money were mainly small sums. but
now many large corporations in 9th
! er states are looking up the advan-
tages offered by the banks of the
new state and are making PROPOSE
tions to deposit large sums. Most of
the bankers are fighting shy of too
large deposits fearing that the re-
| turns would not be adequate after
paying the l per cent protection as
| sessment to the state.
The banks across the state boun-
| diaries, in Kansas, Texas and Arkan-
sas are beginning to feel the effects
of the Oklahoma competition through
shrinkage of deposits. The drain
has not set in heavily as yet, but
with increasing public confidence in
| the practicability and desirablity of
the new act, there is no doubt that
| these states will, in the course of a
| few years, be forced to adopt a SIM
liar measure. AS these common
wealths will, in turn, act upon 9th
| ers, Oklahoma may have started a
movement that will not be completed
until it has reached from ocean to
ocean and from the Canadian border
! to the Gulf.

KING LEOPOLD'S BIRTHDAY
King of Belgium Celebrates Seventy
Third Anniversary of Birth

Third Anniversary of Birth.
Brussels, April 9.-Leopold H.,
king of the Belgians, is today cele-
brating his seventy-third birthday.
Few public observations marked the
anniversary and there is almost a
total absence of popular demonstra-
tions. The congratulatory messages
of other sovereigns were formal in
wording, The aged Leopold is per-
haps the most unpopular of Europ-
can monarchs, both among his own
people and the rulers of other ma
tions. His love affairs and his treat
ment of the natives of his African
dependencies have added to his dis
repute at home and abroad.
Leopold II. was born April 8,
1885, and was a son of Leopold l.,
Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and
an uncle of Queen Victoria, who was
elected king of Belgium in 1891,
and Prince Louise, daughter of
King Louis PHILIPPE of France. Leo
pold II. has occupied the throne
since 1865. His wife, the Austrian
Archduchess Marie Henriette, died
in 1902

PRINCIPAL IN ROW
DENIED ASSAULT

Horace Braint, negro, 2S years old
I'm district court this morning pleaded
not guilty to having assaulted James
Livingstone and was held In $500 for
trial on the 9th.
The alleged assault occurred in the
house at 230 Rhodes street yesterday.
Livingston, 40 years old. lives in the
house and has a police record. Brant a
few days ago took up his abode with
Livingston
A dispute over the payment of board
started a rumpus and hammers, stove
lifters and frying pan were brought In
TO play during the battle and when the
police arrived at the house the rooms
were literally torn to pieces.
Charles Gaines heard shouts OF ''mur-
der. Police.' and notified the Fifth po-
lice station. Capt. Lawrence and OFF,
Ger Wallace went to the house and
found the premises a total wreck as re-
CARDS the household effects. Livingston
had his face damaged and his head
was covered with bruises.
Braint had made his escape and Capt.
Lawrenct sent Patrolman Flynn and
Daley to find his. They apprehended
him within short time and he tells the
story that he paid Livingstone 81 for
board and that he stole 81 from him.
Then the fight began.

MARKEY SENTENCED;
HIS WIFE GOES FREE

Hugh and Mary Markey some time ago
were indicted for keeping liquor nui-
sance on Hanna street. They were al
lowed on pleading nolo contendere TO go
on probation. Capt. Whipple told Judge
Stearns today that the Markeys had
broken faith with the state, as after leav-
ing the court they went right back to
selling the contraband stuff and even solu
last Sunday.
According to further statements made
by Capt. Whipple, the Markeys have sold
liquor illegally for long time. the prac-
tice being for the man to stand on the
outside and watch for the police, while
the woman would sell on the inside. The
couple have two children and this was n
puzzling point with the court, as the chill
dren needed one parent to look after
them. but which should be left was hard
to decide.
Judge Stearns finally decided to SEN
tence Markey TO 30 days in Jail and 10
pay a fine OF 500. Mrs. Markey got a
stifY warning handed out to her. as shc
was informed IL she sold any more liquor
she would be brought in at once and
severely punished.

DR.. PETERS TALKS
ON CORPORATION
AND PHYSICIAN

In the New York Medical Journal for
Dec. last appears an article by DIR. w.
II. Peters OF this city, under the caption,
THE Corporation and the Medical Wit
ness"
Some extracts from the article follow:
\ "The recent exposure, printed in a
popular magazine. OF the methods used
by a gang OF swindlers who brought suit
against street railway companies for al
legged injuries, and who were awarded
damages in many instances, shows plain
ly that the dishonest paintiff, lawyer
and physician are a combination that
should cause corporation great un-
easiness.
MANY fake cases are brought every
day by individuals who are awarded
damages by an intelligent jury on the
testimony OF the physician. 1t is my
opinion that the physician plays the most
important part In these farces. 1t is true
that he may be perfectly honest in his
opinion In many crooked cases.
Defendant corporations are in most
cases at a great disadvantage from the
start In damage suits. especially when
dishonest lawyer joins hands with a de-
honest. physician.
"The average jury. selected TO listen
TO the testimony and assess damages
against a corporation, Is generally made
uD Oh men OppOstu 10 tNt pOWti biihAtu
TO corporations and trusts by the city
and state officials. Therefore. the jurors
have little sympathy to extend and are
pretudiced. to a certain extent, against
the defendant company before the tes-
timony has been given.
There are two questions that are al
most invariably asked OF the plaintiffs
counsel in a suit for damages. which car
ry a great deal OF weight with the jury,
as follows:
Question l. Provided that the plaintiff
in the case had been perfectly well be-
fore and up TO the time OF the accident,
what is your opinion as to the cause OF
his present condition OF mental or physi-
cal suffering7" The answer to this ques-
tion is always. The accident" whereas,
in many instances, the patient is malin-l
gerins and recovers Immediately upon re-
ceIving compensation for the alleged In
juries
Question 2. do you think he will ever
entirely recover from the effects OF this
accident?" This question Is usually an
swered az follows: The plaintiff has
probably sustained injuries OF such a ma
ture that he will necer entirely recover"
do not mean TO say that the physician
answering these questions I'm this way Is
always Influenced by or interested In tho
plaintir but there is no possible way. n
tho plaintin is dishonest, TO ascertain if
the condition existed prior TO the acci-
dent

DISQUALIFICATION
NOT MATERIAL

Plaintiffs exceptions to the action of
the superior court In the case OF Joseph
M. Sansouver VS.. Glenyon Dye Works
We're today overruled by the supreme
court jury found for the defendant
One OF the objections urged was that the
ius'ee who presided at tho trial OF the
case In the superior court wrongfully
held that one of the Jurors empaneIled
who was, at the time of the trial and
Tor . years before had been, an emp.oye
or the holder of n majority OF the capital
stock OF the defendant corporation. Frank
A. sayles. stood Indifferent between the
parties
Ihe supreme court says IL cannot saw
from the evidence before IL that the de
cision OF the trial Judge was erroneous
but that the rule is not to give a new
trial when juror Is disqualified II Il
otherwise appears the trial was a fair
one and the jury's verdict warranted. AS
NO exception was pressed to the refusal
or the superior court to grant n new trial
on the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence II may be presumed
the verdict was supported by the evil
dence.
