STATES CLAIM PAID
BY TRUST COMPANY
ATTORNEY GENERAL RECEIVES
$5,747.3s FROM COLUMBUS
BANK AND FORMER
STATE AUDITOR.
ANOTHER SIMILAR SUIT HAS BEEN FILED
Denman Makes Statement Exonerat-
ing Ex-Auditor GuiIbert-other
General News of Interest
Heard at Ohio's
Capital.

Columbus.-Attorney General Den
man has announced the receipt by the
state of $5,747.39 from former State
Auditor Guilbert and the Capitol
Trust Co., in settlement in full of the
states claim for interest on checks
and drafts deposited by the auditor
between May 8, 1905, and November,
1907, for collection. The amount paid
included per cent interest on the
claim to August 1, 1910.
In letter to the attorney general,
attorney for the trust company, ad-
hered to the opinion that the claim
was not valid, but said the bank pre-
ferred to settle it in full, rather than
to enter litigation, which might be
accompanied by misleading rumor.
Exonerate GuIlbert.
The attorney general in a joint
statement, construed the state deposit
tory act as requiring the state auditor
to deposit checks and drafts he re-
ceived in payment of the excise and
inheritance taxes with the state treas
urer, instead of making the collection
himself. The states claim was based
on the estimate of the state account
ant, of what the funds would have
earned at 21a per cent if deposited
by the treasurer in inactive deposi-
tories.
Dcnman, in statement, says:
I'VE deem it fair to say that our
Investigations have not disclosed, and
that we have no reason to believe,
that the trust company paid, or that
Mr.. Guilbert, either personally or as
auditor of the state, received any con-
sideration whatever for the use of
funds so deposited by him."
Another Files Claim.
Denman announced that the state
had filed with the receiver of the old
Merchants and Manufacturers bank a
claim of $31, ,809.02 for interest at 8
per cent on checks and drafts depos-
tied by Guilbert for collection before
the passage of the state depository
act The claim is on the ground of
court decisions that checks and drafts
deposited for collection are to be con-
sidered as cash and banks are liable
for interest at the current rate If such
funds are used as money.

WIII Have Average Crop.


A canvass of all the wheat-growing
states, Just completed, indicates that
the yield of Ohio this year will be
about an average crop.
The reports from state depart.
ments, which are in practically all
cases based on the rety ms of assess.
ors this spring, who secured from
farmers statements of their actual
measured yields, show an aggregate
harvest for 1908 of 39,2is,US0 bushels.
On July last estimated wheat area
for. harvest, 1,6S2,S74 acres. Estimat-
ed production, IA bushels per acre,
23,476,192 bushels state as whole.
Quality of grain satisfactory. Many
reports of promising yields. No seri-
ous damage by insect pests. Early
reports of damage by joint worm
greatly exaggerated.
Original wheat areas seeded for
1910 harvest estimated at 1,721, ,O9O
acres. Two per cent plowed up in
spring; ground put to oats and corn.
The 1910 area one of the smallest in
number of years, approximately same
as 1909. Production should about
equal that of last year. On June /
condition it would have been 24,36S
acres.
Above statistics compiled from re-
ports received from some 1900 cor
respondents over the state. Returns
of township assessors will no doubt
show slight increase in 1910 wheat
area. State board statistics furnish
the following comparisons:

July in the Ohio Oil Fields.

The southeastern Ohio field COM
pleted Is wells, a drop of 25 from fhe
June record. The new production
amounted to 1896 barrels. Of the to-
tai completions 81 proved busters or
gas wells. The SO wells listed as pro-
ducers had an average of 1871 barrels,
as against an average of 18 1-3 barrels
in June. The new production for July
was 739 barrels below the record for
June and the difference was due to
the falling off in completed work and
a much lighter average in the size of
the wells coming in near Bremen and
Junction City, in Fairfield and Perry
counties. For two months there has
been fewer larger wells completed in
those two counties.

40 cents. The daily saving of 13

is rs cents day, though it often costs
less than that. When the National
