Superintendent of the Williamsburg re-
tincry, ana James f Bendernagel. the
former cashier.
Gerbracht was put on the stand to
correct his former testimony. He eX-
planned that he didn't understand the
question when he testified that the
late II. O. Havemeyer had instructed
him to keep his polariscopic tests of
sugar below the true test. What he
meant he declared, was that Mr.
Hayemever had instructed him to keer
the tests down to the lowest reading
of the polariscope. Thls ended the de-
dence's rebuttal testimony.
Motions made by the defence for the
dismissal of the indictments were de-

that there was fraud committed on the

PENDANTS did not know that frauds

The Augusta delegation to the annual
convention of the Maine state Branch
OF the American Federation of Labor
in session here, is bending every effort
toward interesting the representatives
of the various organizations in the big
Labor day Tonight assurances We're
had that the delegates from every city

matter before their organizations: and
the majority of them did not hesitate

be the greatest labor gathering ever
held in Maine.
The features Of the sessions today
were the SDecches OF National Presi-
dent John Golden of the Textile Work
ers and Commissioner of Labor Thorn
as j. Lyons. Mr.. Golden took up the
several proposed changes in the State
laws relating to industrial and labor
conditions. ana discussed them from
the humanitarian standpoint. He urs-
ed the passage Of weekly payment Of

Commissioner Lyons, referring to a
resolution which We're introduced con-
corning industrial accidents and work
ingnlen'S compensation acts stated
that his department had been gather
ing information on the subject for
nearly q year and intended to embody
at least q part of ii in the report for
this year. He called attention to the
absolute lack of laws governing the
protection OF dangerous machinery in
this State and said that the condition
should be remedied.
Mr., Lyons also called attention to
the fact that in many industries Wo-
men wer" doing the same work as
men, producing as much and working
the same hours, but We're paid much
less. He said that rren in the case Of
school teachers, many of them were
compelled to wash dishes at summer
resorts in order to get sufficient mon
ey- to support them during the Taca-
ton period. We believed that where
the work was the same the wages
should be the same.

II accounts in the bank from which the
dishonest bookkeeper could obtain So,
GOO
Continuing his examination into the
banks affairs, Mr. Pratt called Cashier
f. l.. Earl from whom he learned that
that official did not know of the bank s
failure until the morning of the day
It was closed. Mr.. Earl admitted that
he knew four months before that the
deposits of rhe bank were falling off
and that President Dresser was putting
IN money to keep them up. After much
questioning the cashier finally said
that he made no effort to learn what
depositors were Withdrawing their ac-
counts. although this could readily
have been ascertaininS by COMPARE
son Of the Clearing House statements
with the individual accounts.
He showed the jury that i'll l6 days

The court refused to allow any teS-
timonv showing that Cashier Earl was

G. Il. Strocker of Brookline stated

tilted to Colemans statement regard
