SUES OFFICERS OF A BANK
Minnesota Man Claims They Assisted
SWindIers.

Minnesota Man Claims They Assisted
SwindIers.
A suit was filed in the federal court
at Council Bluffs, Ia, by Samuel
Sutor of Cass Lake, this state,
against the First National bank, Its
officials and other persons, in which
Sutor charges that the bank was in
collision with Maybray and his as
sociates in swindling Sutor out of $5,-
600 on a fake race.
The plaintiff names as defendants
the First National bank of Council
Bluffs. Ernest e. Hart, president, and
John J. Spindler, cashier Of the bank,
and also George Wilson and Benjamin
Marks. George Wilson is said to have
been Maybray's right hand man in the
so-called "swindle syndicate" and is
said by Sutor to have been the man
who handled the stake money which
included Sutor's $4,000.
Hart and Spindler deny the charges
made by Sutor that they knew of the
swindles or that they abetted such
swindles in any manner. They claim
that they handled Sutor's letter of
credit from a bank in Cass Lake in
the same manner as similar paper
usually is handled.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT AT NAPLES
Ex-President Enthusiastically Wei
coined by Italians.

Naples, April 6.-Ex-President
Roosevelt spent several hours in Ma
pies and In that time was given many
evidences of his personal popularity
with the Italian people and of the adj
miration which they have for his dis
tinguished services to this country.
The steamer Hamburg, on which Mr..
Roosevelt was a passenger, was greet
ed on her way to the anchorage with
the blowing of whistles, the f1uttering
of many flags and the playing OF
bands. Italian warships in the har-
Dor, steamers Of various nationalities,
private yachts and craft of all kinds
dressed in bunting and signal flags
from stem to stern, added to the pic
turesqueness of the scene which Mr..
Roosevelt himself characterized as
magnificent.
Great crowds, too, waited for his
appearance on the streets and when
he rode in an automobile he was
greeted with enthusiasm that aston
ished him. He met various Official
delegations at the Hotel Excelsior,
where apartments had been reserved
for him, scores of prominent Amerl-
cans and representatives of other
countries, and to them all he ex-
pressed his warmest thanks for the
welcome he had received.
He visited the Duke and Duchess
of Aosta at Capodimonte, and later
dined in private at the hotel, after
which he went on board the steamer
Admiral. The Admiral which will con-
vey Mr.. Roosevelt to Mombasa, sailed
at midnight.

touched Tuesday, Castro was notified
by the British consul that the British
government had decided not to per.
nit him to disembark at Port OF
Spain, Trinidad; consequently Castro
decided to leave the Guadalupe here
Castro disclaimed the bellicose in,
tentions with regard to the existing
political situation in Venezuela with
which he has been credited and he
declared that his only purpose in re-
turning to Venezuela was to give at
tention to his private business. Cas-
tro will be attended during his stay
here by his secretary and body serv-
ant. He appears still to be in ill
health.

CONSPIRACY IS ALLEGED
Brief of Government in Standard Oil
Dissolution Suit.

st. Louis, April Sin its brief filed
in the federal circuit court for the
Eastern division of the Eastern jul
dicial district of Missouri in the suit
of the United States to dissolve the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
the government reviews the history
of the company from its inception to
the present time and the declaration
is made that the testimony shows
that the various defendants have from
the first pursued a system of unfair
competition against their competitors,
whereby the Independent companies
selling and marketing petroleum have
either been driven out of business or
their business so restricted that the
Standard Oil company has practically
controlled the prices and monopolized
the commerce in the products of petro-
leum in the United States.
