FORMER BAIL CLERK
W[AkfNS Defense
Lax Methods Prevailed in the
Conduct Of the City Treas
urer's Office

j. r. Winter, formerly bail clerk and
later receiving. teller under Treasurer
Bantel, was the only witness examined
yesterday I'm Judge Lawlor's court in
the trial of James c. Tomalty, former
chief book keeper in the treasurer's
office, who is charged with the falsifica-
tion of public records.
Winters direct examination was con-
cluded early yesterday morning by
Assistant District Attorney Harrison
and the greater part of the day was
given over to the cross examination of
the witness by Herbert Choynski of
counsel for the defendant. The subject
matter of the examination related
chiefly to the system of book keeping
in vogue in the treasurer's office dur
ing the Bantel administration, but
enough salient facts were brought out
during the latter part of the direct ex-
animation to strengthen the case of the

CLASH ABOUT BOOKS
The Introduction of evidence devel-
oped yesterday into determined fight
that the book keeping methods in the
treasurer's office prior to the fire were
of a definite, systematic kind while the
defense fought equally as hard to show
that lax methods were in vogue and
that the hooks and accounts of the
Office could not be relied upon.
This peculiar reversal of tactics was
due to the fact that the books intro
duced in evidence showed a gap in en-
tries at the time of the fire, and the
further fact that the prosecution is

and with County Treasurer M. ]. Kelly

that the official records of Donahues s.
appointment were invalid in that they

was named as former District Attorney

Macmillan likewise suggested that
no salary warrants be issued for Dona-

brought to recover salary paid to him

words today in declaring that, In his

LAX METHODS SHOWN

One result of the pointed inquiry
addressed to Winter was a very plain
showing that lax methods dominated
the treasurer's office at the time in
question. whether or not the actual
system of book keeping was exact or
loose. The witness testified that prior
to the time he took up his duties in
the treasurer's Office he had never had
any experience in book keeping. and
he declared that he would not swear
that the entries in his own books were
correct.
1t was his plan. he said. to allow
bail receipts to accumulate in his desk
then to enter them in his books ac-
eording to the date shown on his filing
stamp. Under questioning by Choynski,
he testified that Tomalty had nothing
to do with the actual handling of any
cash received in the ofice, his sole
duties being in connection with the
keeping of the books.
BAIL MONEY PAYMENTS
Harrison offered to Introduce into
evidence all the bail Iedgers to which
Winter referred during his examina-
tion, the purpose being to show that
the $5,00A entered in the general
ledger under date of April Is, 1906.
could not have been paid out that day.
Bail receipts were introduced covering
all the disbursements of April IL, and
it was shown that this was actually
the money paid out April IA. 1t was
payment April Is of s605 as a check
against Tomalty's entry of S5,605,
which the prosecution asserts was
raised $4,000 by the prefixing of the
figure 5.

A Patriotic American Turk.

It Is a curious fact that a bluff and
jovial American sea captain has be-
come one Of the most prominent and
influential men in Turkey. Formerly
he was Capt Bucknam, Of the Pacific
Mail Steamship line, but now he Is
known as Bucknam Pasha- He is a
Turkish admiral, a pasha of two horse
tails and an aid-de-camp to the sultan.
After leaving the service Of the Pacif-
ic Mail, the admiral took service in
the Cramps Shipyard at Philadelphia,
and was sent thence to Constantinople
in charge of a new vessel constructed
for the Turkish navy. He reached
Constantinople on the Fourth of July,
and, being a patriotic American, cele-
brated the day with crackers and fire.

who told Bucknam that all such per-
formances were forbidden by the sui
tan. Bucknam was summoned before
the sultan to answer for his offense,
but he so won the regard Of the ruler
that he was at once taken into the
Turkish naval service. His bravery at
the time Of an attempt to assassinate
the sultan endeared him to the latter.
Not only is he 4 great man officially,
but also he has acquired fame through
out the Turkish empire by the inven-
ton of a cocktail known by his name.

In order that the feeds fed to stock
may be used to the best possible ad-
vantage 1t is necessary that they should
be Of the proper kinds and fed In the
proper amounts.
One Of the important things to
take into account In determining the
value Of feeding stuff is its digesti-
bility. Some feeds, such as oat straw,
are not more than 80 per cent digesti-
BILE, while In the case Of the corn grain
over 80 per cent is used by the animal.
Feeds with high percentage Of diges-
tibility, like the grains, are called con-
centrates, while those with a large
amount Of indigestible crude fiber are
called rough feeds.
Every animal must have certain
amount of roughage; otherwise the
grain would lie in the stomach In
heavy, sodden mass, which could hard
ly be penetrated by the digestive juices.
and indigestion would be sure to re-
suit. The crude fiber, while indigesti-
BILE in itself, dilutes the more concen-
trated feeds and greatly hastens the
process Of digestion. The ruminants

which 1t contains will be wasted. When
corn is cheap this does not matter so
much, but when the price goes up to
so or so cents a bushel 1t becomes an
important consideration. This applies
not only to corn, but to other grains
as wefi since all contain an excess Of
carbohydrates and fat Oats come the
nearest to being balanced ration of
any farm grain, but they are usually
too expensive to be fed exclusively.
Mixing oats with corn does not make
a balanced ration, since the oats have
scarcely enough protein to balance
their own carbohydrates and fats. An
other factor which must be taken into
consideration Is the health Of the ami
mails. This will surely suffer II they
are compelled to live long on a single
kind Of feed, especially one that is as
low in protein as corn Is.
When grain Is high in price the saw
ing effected by the purchase Of some
supplementary feed rich in protein
will usually much more than pay the
cost In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain the chief consideration
should be the amount of digestible
protein which It contains. Ashe is also
important, especially II It is to be fed
with corn, which Is low In ash. BY
dividing the price per ton Of q feed by
the number Of pounds Of digestible
protein in ton the price per pound
of protein is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost Of protein in the
different byproducts can be figured
out and the one used which will fur
nish 1t in the cheapest form.
For hogs there is probably no better
or cheaper source of protein than tank
age or meat meal. A ration Of one
part of this to ten parts of corn Is an
ideal one for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs the amount Of tankage
should be doubled and some skimmilk
added IL It can be obtained. Milk IL
