'TOMALTY ACCUSED
OF fALSIFICATION
Indicted for Juggling With Rec
ords in Connection With
Treasury Steal
Two Other Employees of Bantel
Are. Suspected by the
Grand Jury

James C. Tomalty, formerly chief
book keeper in the city treasurer's of
fee, was indicted by the grand jury
public records in connection with the
100000 steal, which is alleged to have
taken place during the administration
of William Bantel. The indictment,
which was approved by vote of 16 to
l, followed an investigation which had
been in progress for months and is the
first of three which. it is believed, the
inquisitorial body win return in con-
nection with the looting of the citys
funds
The grand jury is satisfied from the
evidence presented that .Tomalty could
not have, accomplished the gigantic
steal alone and sensational develop
ments are looked for when the body re-
sumes its deliberations next Tuesday
afternoon
Former Treasurer Bantel was called
before the grand jury yesterday for the
first time since the looting of the treas
ury had been discovered. He was con-
FUSED and excited and his answers sim
ply indicated to the inquisitors that he
knew little or nothing concerning what
went on in the office. He said that his
chief deputy, David Davis, had com
plete control of the other employees.
After leaving the grand jury room he
admitted that he knew nothing con-
corning the system of book keeping
which was used in the office.
TOMALTY RECALLED
Tomalty. who had been examined on
several occasions before. was recalled
and subjected to CROSS examination for
haf an hour, after which the grand
jury went into executive session.
The question of indicting TomaIty
was then placed before the grand jury
by Foreman Scott. Joseph B. Duggin,
one OF the jurors, who had not heard
all of the testimony, asked to be ex-
cused from voting and left the room
A vote was then taken, every member
present voting in favor of Indictment
with the exception of Charles Samuels
When the indictment which had been
prepared by the district attorneys of
fee was read by the foreman several of
the members objected to the use of
the words 'willfully and maHciously."
They expressed a desire to have the
district attorney explain the exact sig
niflcance of these terms and for that
reason the returning of a formal indict-
ment was postponed until Tuesday.
OTHERS IN DANGER
1T is known positively that the indict-
ment of at least two other employees of
the treasurer's Office is contemplated by
the grand jury, but what two they are
is a carefully guarded secret
The grand jury returned a formal in
dictment containing two counts against
w O. Reeves, formerly trusted en-
ploye OF the Holmes lime and con-
struction company, and it was placed
on the secret file. One count charges
the embezzlement of $1.346.75 and the
other charges grand larceny. Reeves
is believed to be in Chicago

PROF. FOSTER EXPELLED.

After four bours of fiery debate, in
which Kisses from ministerial lips scared
the cir OF Steinwsy Hall, Chirago, snd
in which sizzling personalities were
hurled back and 10th from pastor to
pastor, the Baptist Minister'S Conference
yesterday psssad the following resolution
BY vote Of 40 to TO-:
"Resolved, that we, the Baptist
Minister Conference of Chicago, do
hereby drop Prof. George Burman FOs-
ter from our rolls of membership"
The action followed two weeks OF
futile efforts to oust the university man
because of his religious writing5, which
they asserted were opposed to funda-
mental doctrine. The meeting closed IN
tumult, and in the midst of IL Rev
NJ P. BoyDton, who led iu the defense
of Dr. Foster, said:
"The action taken here today was an
ecclesiastical lynching by mob law.
We had no right to take it. In drop.
ping Dr.. Foster we are anogating to onr-
selves the powers OF court The entire
proceedings we're unbsptistic in the
extreme. All l demanded was fair play
and a square deal. This, however, is
exactly what Prof Foster did not get. "
The alleged failure Of DIR. Myers to
keep a promise made at last Mondays
meeting of the conference caused another
outbreak, which caused riotOus scenes,
lasting over an hour.

in treating the tagging, torpid liver It Is

indication OF an ill-nourlshed, enfeebled

organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
