reports emanating from the INSIDE, it is
likely that the Eureka county grand
jury will be assembled to consider fur
Their charges against Oscar and b. L..
Smith in connection with the Eureka
bank failure.
The other day when Oscar Smith was
arrested, and was asked by a reporter
what the charges were, he replied "for
accepting deposits in an insolvent bank
that was not insolvent." Smith pre-
tends to claim that the bank was not
insolvent; that it had plenty of assets in
the way of notes and securities, which,
when converted into cash, would satisfy
deposits. The bank examiner says that
while upon the face of the bank state
ment the bank had plenty of assets,
those assets were in fact to a large ex-
tent worthless as they were notes of
the Smiths or stocks of their various
companies none of which, except the
cattle company, had any market value.
While the Smiths may cherish the
hope of being cleared of the technical
charge of receiving money when their
bank was insolvent, the new charges
that will shortly be filed, according to
report, will not be SO technical or open
to dispute. The facts upon which these
charges will be founded have developed
since the banking board closed the in
stitution, and, since the grand jury met.
The most serious of the charges will be
that of making false reports to the
banking board on the condition of the
bank, reports which were designed to
deceive the board and conceal the true
condition of the bank. These reports
were made over affidavit, and for
which the banking laws of the state i'm
pose heavy penalties.

suspension, the banking board had beer

 The Hartman family Is still In mourning and the marriage will be as quiet and unostentatious as possible. Only the immediate family and closest personal friends will be present.
 The wedding will be the continuation of the romance of an American heir ess who preferred an American man to a foreign title. Miss Hartman was for some time reported engaged to Robert Walton Goelet. millionaire and member of one of the most exclusive families in America. Young Goelet' suit was sanctioned by Hartman, but when Goelet introduced his sweetheart to Rumsey. his classmate at Harvard, 1t seemed to be a case of love at first sight. The engagement followed young Rumsey's visit to Arden to do certain sculptor work on a monument to the late E. H. Hartman and a bas- relief of Miss Hartman on horse back.
 Miss Hartman was her fathers fa- NOIll0 dI1d Is SdIQ IO 1ldSO AlIiAOA1CON his remarkable business acumen.

Miss Harri- man, after her fathers death. took active charge of the Arden estate. She decided to have the Arden Farms Dairy Company, capitalized at $100. GOO. She has superintended the completion of the mansion her father started.

 Miss Hartman is a splendid horse woman.

HARVARD EXPERTS SAY PASTEURIzED
 MILK IS UNSAFE

Boston, May 25-Professor Theobald Smith, bacteriological expert of Har- yard University, yesterday told the legislative committee Investigating Boston's milk situation that pasteur- ized milk is not safe. Professor Smith said he would not oppose pasteur1Za- tion in any sweeping way; he did think it had its place. but if it was to be kept it must be under control and proper regulation.
 To Representative Gardner, Profes- sor Smith said he would not agree at all to the statement of a contractor that all the New York milk now being brought into Boston was perfectly safe, because 1t had been paSteuriZed. He said that New York has no proper regulation of pasteurization of milk and that it is not a process to be left either to the contractor or producer. He would want to know just how that milk was pasteurized to analyze it and have @ count made of the bacteria be- fore pronouncing it safe.
 Dr. Milton J. Rosenal of Harvard Medical School said that the develop ment of bacteria and dangerous germs in pasteurized milk which was forty eight hours old was about as rapid as the bacterial development in milk that had never been pasteurized. He would say that about one-ha1f the milk that came from New York was pasteurized, but would accept the statement made by a contractor, as given by Senator Meaney, that about one-third was pas teurized He would prefer fresher milk than that which is seventy-two hours old

coURTsHIP IN PORTUGAL.
The Way the Young People Begin
 Their Lovemakins.

The Way the Young People Begin
 Their Lovemakins.
 The most important event in the life of a Portuguese woman is marriage. Next in importance are the early days of courtship, for Portuguese court ship is the essence of romance. and the ways of the Portuguese lover are singularly picturesque. Here is a lit tie drama in which Cupid is stage di- rector. If a. young Portuguese sees in the street a pretty girl with whom he would like to become acquainted he follows her. Chaperons are not i'm possible Instructions. He follows her right up to her very door and notes the address. Next day he comes again, and if the young lady approves of him flor she certainly. saw him the day before-she is on the lookout.
 Sometimes hard fate in the guise of an angry parent prevents her, and then the gallant'youth is kept waiting. Sooner or later she leans over the bal cony and smiles at him. Thes happy youth ties note to cord which the fair lady drops from the balcony. The next day the young man comes again. This time he rings at the door. If the inquiries which the. young lady's elders have made prove satisfactory the swain is admitted to make the ac- quaintance of the young lady. After that courtship in Portugal is about the same as it is in Kankakee or Kala- mazoo.-Leslie's Weekly.

KIRSTEIN'S
 MIND BLANK,
 RETURNS HOME
Thorne's Superintendent Can't Tell Where He Spent Two
 Days
SUFFERED LAPSE OF MEMORY
In Bed With Nervous Breakdown,
 and Under Care of Doctor

Ernest J. Kirstein, superintendent of Jonathan Thorne's fine estate at Black Rock, returned to his home in Balmforth street, Black Rock, last ev- ening, suffering from a nervous break down. He said that he had experience ed a lapse of memory in Bridgeport on Monday and on regaining consci- ousness of his surroundings found himself in New York city.
 Kirstein was ill in bed today as a result of his experience, and lie is able to tell very little of where he spent his time Mrs. Kirstein\ notified the police late last evening of her hus- bands homecoming. Kirsteins strange disappearance Monday morning, talk ing his bank book with $3,0O0 to his credit led Mrs. Kirstein to fear many things. She learned yesterday that he had drawn but a small sum of money. Brinkerhoff Thorne, son of Jonathan Thorne and a famous foot ball player of Yale, over a decade ago, arrived here sterday when he heard of the strange obsence of the superin- tendent, and prepared to take charge of an organized search for him. Plans were being made to that end when Kirstein, pale and worn out, return ed home last evening. He is now un- der a doctors care.

PREMIER PLANS
 RADICAL CHANGE
 IN STAINS TAXES
Hopes to Shift Much From Poor to the Rich Without Extra
 Burden on the Church
Especial from United Press.

Madrid, May 25.-Premier Candle jas is today facing the hardest prob lem of his political career in his at- tempt to frame sort of Lloyd George budget for Spain that will allay popular discontent and at the same time not antagonize King AL fonso and the church. He hopes to transfer much of the weight of the taxation from the poor to the rich without putting any of the burden on clerical establishments.
 The general opinion is that the plan is impossible because the church owns more property that any other single interest in Spain while the rich, more than in any other country, have their capital invested abroad where tax collectors cannot reach it. The nations ablest fina nciers say that conditions in Spain can never be ma terially benefited so long as the cleri- cal esta blishments, wholly unburden- ed by taxation, are permitted to com pete with private enterprise which is taxed to the maximum. All that the premier can accomplish, in the opin- ion of leading politicians, is to check grating in the public service, which is probably the most corrupt on earth outside of Russia. To meet the real demands of the country in the mat ter of taxation would require an over hauling of the country's financial sys- tenn which would probably precipitate a. revolution

COMET GIRL WEDS
  ITALIAN PRIEST IN ATLANTIC CITY

Trenton, N J.. May 25-The marry ing of a Trenton girl to @ Roman Catholic priest at Atlantic City has created sensation here. The bride daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franz Johann, one of the prettiest and best known young women of this city. The Rev. Father Alphonse Consolazio, who had been in the Roman Catholic dio- cese here for several years. and who church near Princeton, is the bride groom.
 My Darling Mama-Our wishes are accomplished. We are married. Kisses and regards. KATHER1NE.'
 This telegram was received yester- day by the mother of the bride. The parents refused to discuss the mar riage.
 The ceremony was performed Mon day night in the home of one of the brides friends in Atlantic City.
 Although rumors were abroad for some time that the priest had become infatuated with the girl. none thought they planned to wed. Bishop McFNaul, head of the Catholic Diocese of Tren- ton. heard of the rumors and began an investigation, but before it was com pleted the priest disappeared. This was two weeks ago, and nothing was heard of him until the telegram was received.
 Father Consolazio is an exceptionally handsome young man. He became ac- quainted with Miss Johann shortly af- ter coming to this section of the coun- try. and they often were seen to- gether. The priest has been unfrock- ed, and his own act excommunicates him from the church.
 This statement was given out from the episcopal residence last night:
 'In regard to the reported marriage of a Catholic priest in Atlantic City yesterday, the Bishop has nothing to say, except that certain rumors were under investigation by him when the priest suddenly left the diocese. Since then the Bishop knows nothing of him, or reported marriage"
 The bride was an active member of St. Mary's Cathedral. She is a tal- ented musician and a great lover of astronomy. Her friends here received with much interest her recent study Of Halley's comet

INSURGENTS TO
 IGNORE HOUSE
 CAUCUS TONIGHT

Washington, May 25.-Pyrotechnics politics and postal savings are sched- uled for the Republican caucus to- night Postal savings Is the real pur- ity of the forces in the House want to discover just where they stand on that measure and are des1rious of pledging the Republicans to its sup port The Senate has already passed a postal savings bank bill. The House roads has framed a measure to the same end but radically different in its provisions.
 The reorganization" in the House is not quite sure of the attitude of its .compatriots. Congressmen generally battered and torn when the caucus gets through with 1t.
 -The real postal savings bill will be framed in the caucus" was the way one Representative stated it. This member expects to see the pro- visions of the bill originating in the lower house the ones to be finally in corporated into law.
 '"The House bill, as it stands at present" explained Congressman. 'is purely a postal savings bank bill -or at least largely so. Only two and the depositors. In the caucus the bill should have politics added to it-just what happened in the Sem ate. In the upper house there were third parties to the measure, the bonders and others. At least ten in surgents do not expect to attend the caucus. These are Madison and Mur- dock of Kansas: Nelson, Lenroot and Cooper of Wisconsin,; Poindexter of Washington; Henshaw and Norris of Nebraska, and Hubbard and Haugh- en of Iowa. Their non-attendance is in line with the ultra-insurgent prin- ciple which ignores caucus rule.
 Murdock, who is a member of the post office committee, has figured largely in the preparation of the House bill. He and his companion insurgents expect to figure even more largely when the bill comes up in the House. Murdock prefers the House bill to that prepared in the Senate, provided certain amendments are carried-changes which he pro- posed but which were rejected in committed

DECIMAL CURRENCY
 ADOPTED IN CHINA

Pekin. May 25-An edict promulgated yesterday establishes national decimal coinage throughout China and orders the cessation of all coinage by provin- ciad hints. The new currency is to be on the basis of seven mace two candereens to the dollar. and is to consist of coins of the following de- nomination: Dollar. fifty cents, twen- ty-five cents and ten cents. minted in silver; five cents. minted in nickel. and coppers cash, minted in copper.
 The establishment of national deci- nal coinage in China is in compliance with the treaty signed following the Boxer troubles and according to the terms of which the Chinese govern ment pledged itself to adopt universal decimal currency
 Heretofore the various Viceroys hold ing administrative sway over the sev- eaIal provinces of the celestial empire have nlinted their own currency inde- pendently of the central government. They have depended upon this per- quisite to pay their followers. and American bankers have suggested that the viceroys are not likely to take kindly to the new order of things.

STUDENT PLAYERS TO RENDER TADEMA'S
 1.-THE SILENT VOICE"

Miss Clarke and her pupils-the Student Players-will close a season of successful work on June 3 at War ner Hall. with three plays of literary plays differ in plot and in literary style Alma Tadema has well pre- served the atmosphere of the 11th century in his exquisite romance, ,"The Silent Voice." The Duchess Anne is discovered at work among her maid ems in a high wainscoted room of the Dukes castle and the story unfolds in language so graceful, so rhystimi- cal that 1t is closely akin to music. : The melody for the song sung by Miss Jane White in this play was composed by Miss Clarke and Miss, Slocum has planned the dance for Miss Clarke and Bernard Brill. John F. Fay. who will furnish the three rooms represented, will use Eliza f bethian furnishings in this play and the costumes are from Eaves com pany, New York. The other parts in The Silent Voice" will be played by Miss Mildred Booth, Miss Iva King, and little Miss Katharine Hanscom as the page.
 In the gay little farce following, "A Likely Story" by W. D. Howells, dean of American literature, will be seen Miss Florence James, Miss Iva King, Miss Molly Murphy, Miss Adelaide Goodwin, Bernard Brill, Harry Irwin.
 
 has played leading roles in many popular plays, such as Christopher J-". The Charity Ball, "Pygmalion and Galatea"
 The others in the cast are we'll and favorably known in Bridgeport, hav- ing been heard in recitations at many entertainments, while MT. Irwins s portrayal of Capt. Absolute in the re- cent High School production of "The Rivals" is still fresh in mind as a. charming, finished and sustained piece of acting worthy of a professional.
 The third play possesses an entire ly different plot and strong charac- terization. "ThePiper's Pay' should be of intense interest to persons prone to collecting souvenirs from fashion able hotels, and to hotel managers as possibly possessing solution to one of their problems. In this Miss Mur- phy and Miss Booth are given an opportunity to show their versatility, their parts being striking departures from those in which they are seen before. Miss Murphy playing a de- tective, Miss Booth a sharp reporter Miss Veronica Dargan as the capti- vatfng Mabel Dover has a role which fits perfectly, Miss Clara Brill as the self possessed Freda Dixon, Miss Rae Logan as Mrs. Hereford Carr, Miss Marguerite Cheney as Katie are ex- cellent- Miss Clarke plays Peggy Burton. The chart for the entertain nent on June 3 is open to subscribers at Jackson's Book Shop on Tuesday, May 31. Subscription tickets may be procured from the Student Players and at Jackson's Book Shop.
