DEFAULIER SHORT
100000
Fidelity Trust Co., of Louis
vile Suffers Through
Assistant Secretary.

Louisville, KY, July 12.-At the
directors meeting of the Fidelity
Trust company today, it was an
nounced that the stockholders of the
concern which includes many of the
leading capitalists of the city, made
up fund to meet any loss or losses
that have or will come to the COM
pany up to one million dollars. This
would seem to indicate the exact
amount of August Ropke's defalca-
tions, which are thus made good,
and never will be known, although
rumors place it at 100000 to $780,
900. Ropke, who was assistant Sec
rotary of the company, was arrested
yesterday charged with making false
entries and misrepresentation of
funds. Ropke has been held for
trial in the criminal court October
fifth. His bond was fixed at $685.
600. Since his arrest has come to
light, Ropke's speculations on the
New York stock exchange, local
brokerage and bucket shops are said
to have amounted to hundreds of
thousands annually.

PESHAST|h WANTS
AGENT
Supreme Court Must Judge
Railroad Commission
Orders.

Olympia, July 12.-Tomorrow the
supreme court will hear arguments
of the appeal of the Great Northern
from the state railroad commission
station facilities at number of
points. The appeal was first heard
by Judge Gay of the superior court
of King county. In most, but not
all, instances the rulings of the low
er court were in favor of the rail-
road. The commission was upheld,
as rule, so far as its orders call
ing for better lighting, running wa
ter, etc., in the stations went, but
was reversed in its order for i'm
proved toilet arrangements in the
depOts. The court held that mod
ern toilets were better than patrons
had in their own homes.
New complaints for alleged lack
of facilities on the Great Northern
and Oregan Railroad and Navigation
company have been filed with the
commission. Boundary, on the Great
Northern, asks better station facili-
ties and Peshastin wants an agent
The citizens of Hay, ON the o. r.
& n, request that an agent be en-
ployed. The cases will be heard in
September.

NOTHING DONE ON
W|hESAP GRADING
Commercial Club Has Had
Nothing Definite From
Board of Directors.

Neither the officers of the Wenat-
chez Commercial Club nor the spe-
cial committee which represented
the Commercial Club at the noon
day meeting of the trustees last
week have heard anything from Spo-
kane relative to the proposed chang
es in the grading of the Winesap ap-
pie.
At the meeting held in Spokane
the board of directors decided to
send kilograms to some twenty Diff
ferent localities asking for an ex-
preston relative to raising the grade
of the Winesap apple from SO to
$40. 1t is known that Yakima ia
vored the change and it is also said
that Hood River is agreeable-oth-
er than this the local growers have
heard nothing relative to the actions
taken. The board of trustees
thought that that body would be able
to let the Commercial Club here
know something definite in three or
four days, but so far, there has been
no word direct from the board of
trustees of the National Apple show.

The loan column plainly indicates
that the banks of the city are max
ing every effort to assist the grow
ers in handling the fruit crop. The
banks have made it the policy to
make small loans to every grower
who has the confidence of the bank
and it is not necessary this year to
go to the outside to secure funds for
this purpose.
The Farmers & Merchants bank is
capitalized at $4,000; First Ma
tional bank, $4,000, and the Col
umbia Valley bank at 100000.
Helping Out Local improvements.
The statement also shows that the
banks are handling a great many To-
cal warrants-Chelan county, City
of Wenatchee, and also the sewer and
various street Improvement bonds.
In this item the columbia Valley
bank has $169,S50.5S; the First Ma
tional bank has $15,O7O.34, while
the Farmers & Merchants bank has
|$2,160.65.
While this is the season of low de-
posts in the banks, yet it is expected
that the tide will turn about the first
of September. Already the apricots,
peaches and summer apple shipments
have commenced and thousands of
dollars will begin to come back to
the grower from now on.

Photographs of Trees in Bloom.

Agent Piper of the Great North
ern was this morning in receipt of
large number of pictures taken by
Great Northern Official Photographer
Keiser early last spring. Mr.. Kei-
ser was here during the blooming
season and took a large number of
photographs showing the orchards in
bloom. The pictures will be on ex-
hibition during the coming month
at the Commercial Club room. They
are perfect specimens of the photo
grapher's art showing the bloom OF
the apple, peach and pear trees. 1t
is the intention to use these pictures
next winter on the Great Northern
exhibit car.

WILL Be NIGHT Of
PROTESTS
Grand View Improvement
and Okanogan Ave. Bids
Will Be Considered.

1t is expected that the meeting
of the city council tonight will be
one of general protest. Two weeks
ago three bids were received for the
improvement of Okanogan avenue.
1t is now generally considered that
the bids and the scheme of improve
ment are excessive and it is likely
that the bids will be rejected. The
Grandview addition and adjacent
streets improvement will lalso have
an inning tonight, and it is believed
that there will be sufficient protest
on hand to kill this improvement as
contemplated, owing to the excessive
cost.
Tonight is also the time flied for
the protest on the assessment rolls
for A, F, King, Mission and lower
Okanogan avenues.
1t is also expected that the mat
ter of the location of the Carnegie
library will be finally decided to-
night. This matter was referred to
the committee and it is expected
that it will be settled in general
council tonight.
Mayor Gelaltly Is still absent from
the city and the deliberations of the
council will be presidedover by Ma
por pro tenn Begg.

DARING AVIATOR DIES
Scion of British Nobility Fell Dis
lance of 100 Feet.

Bournemouth, England, July r.
The first flying tournament of the
year in England had a tragic close
in the dramatic death of the most
daring British aviator, Hon. Charles
S. Rolls, third son of Lord Langat-
tick. Flying a Wright biplane, he
fell from a height of one hundred
feet, smashing his machine to splin-
tiers. Before Rolls could be removed
he was dead. The accident was
caused by the swapping off of the
tailpiece as Rolls was gliding from
great height to earth. The ma
chine then plunged straight down at
a terrific speed.

Do C0UNTRY'S RAILROADS
NEED MORE MONEY !?
Meeting of Shippers and Railroad Accountants This
Week at Chicago to Go Over the Pivotal Point of the
Present Controversy Regarding the Rate Problem
Believed Railroads Are Trying to Force Stringency.

Chicago, July 1.-THE campaign
of the shippers against general adj
vances in freight rates is to be waged
in accordance with the general pro-
position that the financial condition
of the railroads at the present time
does not justify an increase in their
revenues at the expense of the ship
pers. They regard it unnecessary to
go into a consideration of the rea-
sonableness or unreasonableness of
particular tariffs.
This was the plan of action for
INFLATED this afternoon by the COM
mittee of II traffic experts of the
principal commercial organizations of
the country that are leading in the
rate fight. The committee met at the
Lasalle hotel in advance of the an
nual meeting of the National Indus
trial Traffic league, which conyenes
tomorrow, and its suggestions will
form the basis of the action to be
taken by the general shippers COM
mittee of II, which probably will
meet within a week and take decisive
steps to thwart the intentions of the
roads.
Anxiety of Shippers.
Exercised by reports of the Bev-
erly conference between the presi-
dent and Chairman Knapp of the
commission that it had been agreed
that the new railroad law was to be
administered conservatively the ship
pers had feared that the burden of
proof was to be put upon them and
the members of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association have been
flooding the president with letters of
protest.
With the previous understanding
confirmed the shippers passed reso-

lutions recommending the employ
ment of sufficient legal counsel, rep
resenting the varying interests
among the shippers, expert account
ants, auditors and other experts to
present the case of the shippers be-
fore the commission at the final
hearing. The committee also APP
proved a plan for raising a fund to
make the fight a national one and
insure a presentation of the facts in
the case.
Financial Problem.
The consensus of opinion was that
the controversy was not traffic one,
but a financial question, resolving it
self simply into a determination of
whether the roads need more money.
The shippers are convinced that they
do not.
Plans for keeping accounts to show
the effect on the revenues of the car
riers of the reduction on western
freight rates prescribed by the COM
mission in the Pacific coast rate cases
were formulated during the day at
a conference between rs traffic Off
Gals of the transcontinental railroads
and representatives of the interstate
commerce commission held in the
federal building. In most of these
cases the commission did not posi-
lively order the new rates in effect,
but stated that it had no desire to de-
plete the roads revenue unduly and
gave them until October l to demon
strate the effect by keeping accounts
of the revenues under the new and
old rates for three months. The
principal object of the conference to-
day was to select which three months
should be chosen for the illustration
and to decide on other details.
