TRIAL Of FAMOUS
BANK CASES

Asheville. N. c., July 26.-Sen-
fences amounting practically to life
Imprisonment may be imposed upon
three former officials of the defunct
First National Bank of Asheville if
they are convicted on all the counts
contained in the indictment on which
they were arraigned for trial today
before Judge Newman in the United
States district court The three de-
PENDANTS, who are charged with con-
spiracy and embezzlement, are Major
w. E. Breese, Joseph E. Dickerson
and W. H. Penland.
The First National Bank Of Ashe-
Vile closed It's doors twelve years
ago. Since that time the cases
against its former officers have been
before the United States courts in
North Carolina almost continuously.
Major Breese, who is the most prom
inent Of the three defendants, is now
to face jury for the fifth time. The
original indictment was found at
Greensboro, in October, 1897. Later
another indictment was returned in
Asheville, charging the defendants
with embezZlement, misapplicatiOn of
funds and fraud. The Asheville in
dictment was held by the United
States circuit court of appeals to be
defective because two members of
the grand jury-two negroes-who
returned the bill had not paid their
taxes. The defendants are now to go
to trial on the Greensboro indict-
ment.
At the first trial Major Breese and
Mr.. Dickerson were tried separately
on the Asheville bill of indictment
and found guilty. Each was SEN
fenced to ten years in the federal
prison at Atlanta. The case was ap-
pealed to the United States circuit
court of appeals and a new trial was
granted on the ground that the pre-
siding Judge had erred in charging
the jury. At the second trial Major
Breese was tried alone and a mistrial
resulted. The case was then removed
from Asheville to Charlotte and
Major Breese tried for the third
time. Another msitrial resulted
Major Breese was tried for the
fourth time at Charlotte and con.
victed, the jury finding him guilty

Bean Soup as a Cure For

IN HI, Hughes commission to in
vestigate Wall street has finally
made its report, and the world
has not stopped in consequence:
neither has the stock exchange made
any wild run for cover The general
opinion is that the amiable gentlemen
who did the investigating ate too many
dinners as the guests of the amiable
gentlemen who were being investigat-
ed. There is no recommendation
against selling short, which may be
described as the high finance practice
Of selling what one does not possess.
In other ways. however, the findings
of the commission will receive general
approval. For one thing. the bucket
shops are drastically condemned, and
as the bucket shops are under the ban
not only of the public. but Of Wall
street itself. this section of the COM
mittee'S report should be popular.
Perhaps the most important conclu-
sion reached is that margins should
be raised to 20 per cent Forty per
cent would be better, but people do
not refuse bread simply because offer

QUOTED TOUR OF RAINIER
ESTABLISHMENT.

If there are any fine points in the
manufacture of beer with which he
Is not familiar, they are, in the main,
a. this time unknown to the Rev.
M. A. Matthews, the well known
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, and this face Is due to a per-
sonally conducted tour of the plant
OF the Seattle Brewing & Mating
company which the clergyman made
last Wednesday, escorted by Andrew
Heinrich, president of the concern,
says the Seattle Times.
The public was never destined to
know of the half day spent by the
clergyman and the millionaire brew
er in an examination at short range
into the process of making the bev-
eridge which the brewers say should
not be forced to bear any part of the
objections heaped on the liquor traf-
fic by temperance enthusiasts. II
by the merest chance that the yarn
leaked out yesterday afternoon, and
when the Presbyterian divine was
told that the Times would like to
learn his new impressions, gained
from a nearview of beer making, he
frankly told of the unique pilgrim.

yarn should have leaked out. There's

turing plants when opportunity af.

Heinrich if he would take me through
his works.
Yes, we went all through the
plant, and it took several hours
There was no part of the works that
We did not visit, from the basement
and the furnaces to the topmost gar

no lessons to be drawn regarding

will be no lessons nor will I preach
any sermon resulting from that trip
Mr.. Heinrich was very kind and
courteous to me, I enjoyed my visit
and am obliged to him.
The story is told that the two

making the rounds of the big works
happened to pass the "sternewerth,'

the embezzlement count. The court
imposed a sentence of seven years in
prison. Again the case was carried
to the United States circuit court Of
appeals and dismissed on the ground
that the Asheville indictment was
faulty because two of the members
of the grand jury had not paid their
taxes.

WHICH INVESTIGATED WALL STREET.
II even 20 per cent were made the le-
gal margin it would eliminate some Of
the worst features Of stock gambling.
The commission also declares for a
tax ON undelivered securities, which
has long been favored by all who have
studied the Wall street system. On
the whole. the findings of the investi-
gators, while somewhat mild, would
If adopted result in distinct advance
over present conditions. 1t is gener-
ally believed that no serious objection
to the enactment of the proposed re-
forms would be offered by the stock
exchanges themselves. AT least one
feature of the recommendations they
would naturally favor, that Of placing
under their own control what is known
as curb speculation. The exchanges
have long desired to exercise supervi-
sion of the curb brokers. 1t is expect
ed that the governor will embOdy the
findings of the commission in his next
message to the legislature and that
legislation will result ia much the
same manner as did that revising the
banking code a few years ago.
That the returning wave Of prosper
ity is actually here Is certainly in evil
dence in New York. Every line feels
it. For example. the real estate mar
ket. which is most susceptible to finan-
cial conditions. is taking on a move
