The truth is something that cannot be

BANKS LOANS SECURED

Greater Part Of the Assets Of Lam
precht Bros. E. Co., Defunct Bro
kers, Is Put Up as Security for
Money Borrowed, Leaving Little for
the Creditors Who Were Dealing
Through the Concern. =
Cleveland, Feb. 1y.-Receiver Bush
nell states that in his opinion the
liabilities of the defunct firm of Lam
precht Bros. & Co., bankers and bro
kers, would reach approximately ST..
100000. The assets, he said, would
fall far below this amount and as a
result the customers Of the house
would doubtless suffer heavy loss.
Cali the banks are fully secured .
said Mr.. Bushnell, 'and they will not
lose dollar. It is not as If the assets
were to be equally distributed. In
this case the greater part Of the as.
sets have been used to obtain loans to
take care of the difficulties In which
the Lamprecht concern found itself
prior to the failure. The stocks and
shares so used are thus taken out OF
calculations for. the general liabilities,
leaving the loss to be borne by that
portion of creditors who were custom.

FEARED DEFEAT At POLLS
Alderman kohout Of Chicago Ends
Life by Shooting.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Alderman Joseph
f. Kohout, long Democratic leader
in the city council, committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head in
the basement Of his home. The poll
tician had gone to the basement while
his wife was preparing breakfast. AS
he did not return she went in search
Of him and found him dead with a
revolver by his side. He was par
TALLY dressed and the impulse to COM
nit suicide seemed to have come to
him suddenly.
Alderman Kohout was a candidate
for reelection, but was a participant
in spirited contest for his seat In
the council. During the term Of Mayor
Dunno Alderman Kohout was one of
the mayors staunchest supporters
and was one of the leaders Of the
council. He was lawyer and about
fifty years old.
Disappointment over the failure OF
his ward club to endorse him for re-
nomination is supposed to have
prompted the suicide.

JURY NOT YET COMPLETE
Twenty-third Day Of Cooper Murder
Trial at Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-With
scarcely a handful Of the 419 venire-
men summoned to be there court
opened on the twenty-third day Of the
trial of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper,
Robin ]. Cooper and John D. Sharpe
for the murder Of former Senator q.
W. Carmack. The outlook for obtain
ing the twelfth juror was not partic-
ularly bright. The state has three
peremptory challenges left, but the
defense has thirty-nine. OF the last
venire of 500 only seven men quail
fed and six of these were challenged.
Theoretically that would result in
failure to get jury" said Judge Hart,
"and while such result is possible I
consider 1t very improbable. pro-
pose to set a jury If it takes another
month. I shall make use Of the list
Of taxpayers In the assessors Office
for the. next venire should one be
needed"
