Bankers Operations Denounced

BIG LOAN IS MADE TO CLERK
Letters introduced to Show

Associated Press1

NEW YORK, April 27.-After a
scathing opening address by United
States District Attorney Wise. the gov
ernment began in earnest today the
prosecution of its case against f. Au-
guStus Heinze, the Montana copper
man, who is charged with misapplica-
tiOn of funds of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank, of which he was the
former head. and with over-certifica-
tion of the checks of Otto Heinze &
Co, which he and his associates dom
mated.
Heinze's operations were referred to
by the prosecutor as "flim flam" and
"bunco games," while he charged that
the Mercantile National bank had been
reduced to the level of a gambling
institution.
When counsel had concluded their
addresses, the government began the
Introduction of evidence, important
among which was "A letter of August /.
1907, 20. K.'d" by the defendant, and
addressed to the Mercantile National
bank, as follows:
THE LETTER
please deliver to bearer from col
lateral you are holding as security, 100
shares Louisville & Nashville; 100
shares Southern Pacific common; 100
exchange 1000 United Copper common ~
The securities which the 1000 shares
of United Copper replaced had been
left by Otto Ieinze q co. as part Sc
curity for a loan of $3.50 on May
"a. 1907.
Testimony was given to show that
on May q, 1907, a loan for $15000O
by the Mercantile National was secured
by 100 shares United Copper prefer
rod. Q00 ITnttad EonDar soOY1anD. 900
American Ice 500 Southern Pacific and
500 Union acific. and various loan book
entries were read to show how Otto
Heinze & Co. are alleged to have oh
tanned loans from the bank on stand
ard securities later substituting there
for less valuable copper stocks.
BIG LOAN TO CLERK
An entry of August 5. 1907, was adj
mitted after much objection on the
part of the defense. 1t purported to
show that $500 600 had been loaned to
a clerk in the United Copper company
offices and in turn made payable to
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
one of the Heinze concerns.
Mr.. Wise sought to show that this
loan had crippled the banks legal re
serve.
Other entries were read, showing that
on August 10, 1907. Arthur p. Heinze,
n brother or the defendant, had DOR
rowed $4,000 on 100 shares of United
Copper. Arthur Heinze was a direc-
tor of the bank at the time and the
loan of $4,000 was placed to his own
account, swelling it from'$2OOO to $112,
00O
The trial opened with the denial by
Judge Rough of motions for the dis
missal of all the indictments. Mr.. Wise
then began outlining the governments
case against Heinze.
This man is not being prosecuted
by the Standard OIL he said. 81 am
not here as the prosecutor of Charles
w. Morse. nor am I here as an en-
ploye of the Standard Oil company,
but a sworn officer of the government,
and ! will discharge my duty as such.
The Standard Oil has nothing to do
with this case, and, so help me God,
it will have nothing to do with it,"

ed the Savage Stars of Savage, Howard

most interesting and exciting games of
the season by the score of to 4.
Both teams were about evenly matched,

were out of the game, Scott being in
tured while in practice before the game.
The game was a pitchers battle between
Souder' Of the home club and Bradford
for the visitors, each striking out num-
Der of batters. The visitors were blank
ed in every inning except the fourth,
when they scored four runs on errors
made by the home team and came very
near winning the game.
The visitors played a fast game and a
very beautiful catch was made by L.
Linthicum in left field, he falling after
catching the ball knocked by W Brown
and which looked good for home run.
The visitors carried large crowd of
rooters with them, who did every
thing in their power to have their team
break the winning streak OF the home
club.
Much enthusiasm prevailed in the last
half of the ninth inning when the score
stood TO in favor of the visitors and
the home club at the bat, and a desperate
finish by the home players brought a
victory to them when two hands were
out. Although the weather was very
threatening. large crowd was present

Bob Unglaub. the Washington nrsi

training trips, says the Detroit Journal
He thinks they are o. X. for getting
ball club into shape for a campaign. but
they are mighty tiresome for the players
who have made them year after year.
THE southern trips look good TO the
bushers who are just breaking in" says
Bob. but to the oldtimers they are tire
some. We have had enough experience
with them to know that they mean moth

night. Why, some of these fat ones &c
south and put in more work during these
three or four weeks than they do all the
rest of the season
"Of course, we get a little fun out Of
them" continued Bob but there Is gen
orally SO much work that the fun gets
lost. It's the same old routine day after
day, and ii don't vary a bit more thar
that of some guy doing six months ir
jail for beating his wife.
.'Of course we have some fun with the
greenest of the 'bushers' breaking in, hui
the young ball players have IL easy te
what the new ones did a few years ago
Ten years ago the kids had some pretty
strenuous. times riding the goat; but today
this has almost all been cut out. The
old men realize that the kids are taker

When l was south with New York ir
