.HE|NzE CASE GOES BACK
FOR FURTHER HEARING
Supreme Court Holds That
Counts in indictment Were
Enormously Dismissed.

The Supreme Court of the United
States today held that the federal cour,
of New York had erred in dismissing
certain counts OF indictments against F.
Augustus Heinze, charging misapplica-
ton of funds of the Mercantile National
Bank of New York. Further proceedings
must now be had in the lower court.
Millions In Discounts.
Heinze was indicted first in 19Oa q.
president of the Mercantile National
Bank Of New York city. on a charge Of
intent to defraud the bank by causing
the bank to discount improperly SINGLE
about $1.500.000.
Many Of the counts were stricken out Of
the indictment on technical grounds. The
circuit court Of the United States for the
southern district of New York. in which
the Indictment was brought, held that the
was defective because 1t did
not charge Conversion and that the word
supplied the legal measure, which the
court has not been able to find in 'willfu]
Defendant Again Indicted.
The next year, 1910, Heinze again was
indicted on practically the same charges,
but this time it was alleged that the
purpose of the alleged "misapplication"
was to initiate the stock Of the United
Copper Company. Again the indictment
was found to be faulty In vital counts.
From both holdings the government an
pealed to the Supreme Court of the United
States in accordance with the act Of
Congress allowing the government an
appeal In certain criminal cases where the
decision on points Of law had been adj
verse to It.
The supreme Court today held that the
lower court had erred In both cases

PAY OF. $3.50 A DAY
ASKED BY CHAUFFEURS

The chauffeurs of the District of CO.
lumbia who are members Of Chauffeurs'
Protective Union No. 236, through their
representative, Charles D. Seals, presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union, asked.
in a communication mailed to the on
GERS Of the Terminal Taxicab Company
of Washington today, for a regular
wage of $3.50 a day Of twelve working
hours and rate of 20 cents an hour
for extra time.
While the demand is not accompanied
by threats nor Is there any expressed in
tention Of aggressive measures. it is de-
scribed as an ultimatum Of a modest
character, the men relying on thu justice
of their claims and the fairness of their
demands for favorable action by the en-
pioyers.
The Auto Livery Company. which en-
ploys a large number of chauffeurs. was
appealed to last week by the chauffeurs'
representative and, 1t is stated, its action
has been held up pending the decision OF
the Terminal Taxicab Company.
The former company, 1t is explained
met the advances OF the chauffeurs will
condensation and showed disposition te
take the matter under advisement. An
answer from the Terminal Taxicab Com.
pany is expected by noon tomorrow.
Think Demands Reasonable.
The chauffeurs say they feel that theil
demands for increased wages are only
reasonable. since the present wage is only
15 cents an hour for a working day OF
twelve hours. From this amount. they
say, must be deducted the cost of the
gasoline at IL cents q gallon. which leaves
such a small amount for the long day,
work that. they claim. 1t Is almost impos.
s!ble for a man to live on 1t. The wage
and workng-hours agreement submitted
to the Terminal company is for what thu
chauffeurs call a fair and Just demand.
They do not propose to precipitate a
strike whereby the travelling public would
be inconvenienced, they add

xation has been striving for some Time
to induce the taxi companies to grant az
increase in wages. Some of the mer
have Jared better than their Companions

Mr.. Seals says the chauffeurs are de-
sirous OF getting a wage agreement with
the taxi companies without any acri.
monious feeling or recourse to strike
methods.

Statement Branded as False.

The statement published this morning
that the university is in danger Of losing
its charter because it now has no unin-
numbered property is branded as abso-
lutely false, as. according to members of
the board of trustees. the charter granted
to the university by Congress contains
no property stipulation.
Investigation this morning disclosed the
fact that of the $4,000 believed to have
been borrowed from different endow-
ments only 100000 was taken from the
COrcoran endowment fund, and a large
amount of that was taken by the donor
during his lifetime for the same uses
Of later boards Of trustees-for paying
running expenses Of the university. A
member Of the old board stated this
morning that not until the board made
an investigation last summer did 1t learn
that the money was tied up in an en-
dowment and was not free for current
use.
The members of the board, this trus-
tee stated, relied on the word of one
who misunderstood the provisions OF
the gift, and authorized withdrawals
in the belief that the money was free
money. The largest part of the re-
mainder of the $350,OOO was borrowed
from endowments. they say. long be-
fore the advent upon the board of trus-
The present board, in placing the prop
erty in trust, has obligated itself, 1t is
stated, far beyond the necessary point
through a deep interest in the welfare
of the university and its future.
Practically Free Of Debt.
With the sale of the property at 18th
and H streets northwest last fall. the
university is practically free from debt.
There is still pending an Indebtedness
Of about 5000. incurred for running ex'
penses last year, but this has been taken
care of by promised contributions AS
the ambition Of the present board of trus-
tees, however, is to push the university
absolutely out of debt by the end of the
present school year. August ID, 1O11. a
meeting of the board will be called short
W for the sole purpose Of raising enough
money in that body to care for running
expenses in advance for the current year.
This item, with the $2,7OO carried for
ward from last year, will bring the
amount required up to something less
than $4,000.
AS one trustee already has promised a
donation Of $1,000 to that fund and sew
eral others have promised substantial
contributions. it is believed the entire
amount will be raised at the one meeting.

MALICE IS CHARGED

Members of Board Not Personally

AMPLE PROVISION FOR REFUND

OBJECT TO PUBLICATION
AMPLE PROVISION FOR REFUND

Claiming that there is not the slightest
ground-moral,s legal or technical-for
holding members of the board Of trustees
of George Washington University per-
sonally liable for the repayment OF
moneys borrowed from endowment funds
to meet current expenses of the insti-
| tuition, members Of the board prominent
local attorneys among them, are today
openly incensed at what they consider
malicious insinuations aimed at them in
a newspaper story published Sunday
morning.
The story published Sunday morning,
they say, intimates strongly that the
trustees took the course announced Sat
urday-putting the remaining property in
trust as security for the payment Of a
ten-year note for $780, 600, given to cover
all moneys borrowed from various endow-
ments-in order to forestall the report OF
the Attorney General on the financial con-
dition of the university.
Affords Ample Security.
AS the property given In trust as secur-
ity for the $4,000 note is worth easily
$425, 600, they say, there is not the slight
est possibility of the endowments losing
through previous transactions. Moreover,
the $4,000 believed to have been bor-
rowed from various endowments takes N
the entire life of the university since its
foundation as Columbian College In 1871.
AS the present board Of trustees, even
those who had places on previous boards,
had nothing to do with transactions from
ten n to eighty years back. It is absurd
members say today. to insinuate that
they can be he'd personally liable.
|, The action OF the board will, they claim,
put the university on a sounder financial
footing than it has enjoyed in many
years. At the end Of ten years. they
claim, the university will have the use
of an endowment fund Of at least $685.
600. The deed Of trust. it is declared,
expressly stipulates that. in the event Of
failure to redeem the note, the properties
placed in trust shall be sold for that pur-
pose. Whether the university has the
use of the property or not, it will have
the income from more than one-half mil
lion of dollars. and will be absolutely
clear Of debt.

MAD DOG VICTIM DIES.
Young Raymond Livingston Sue
cumbs to Dread Disease.

Raymond Livingston, the six-year-
old son of Mr. J. K. Livingston, who
was reported as being in extremis at
midnight Tuesday night from the ef-
fects of hydrophobia, died yesterday
morning at about 3 o'clock. The
child suffered intense in the last
hours of his sickness and died in
agony after all that medical science
could do to save his young life had
been done by willing hands. Ray
mond was attacked on the morning
of April 10 by mad dog at the
corner of George and St. Philip
streets and bitten in sixteen different
places by the brute. Fourteen of the
bites were on the child's face and
two were on his arm. The child was
rushed to the Pasteur Institute, in
Atlanta, and given full treatment, re-
turning home later, apparently on
the road to recovery. Monday, how
ever, turn for the worse took place
and the child sank rapidly until the
end came in the still hours of the
morning yesterday.
DR.. Edward Boykin was in attend
ance on the sick child until his death.
All day Tuesday the gravest fears
were entertained for the child's re-
covery and by midnight all hope had
been abandoned. DR.. Boykin stated
at midnight that the child would not
live to see the dawn.-Charleston

to 'tUncle Johnnie" by his devoted
little friend, Fannie Muse Izlar.
How many times since his death
have I tried to bring myself to the
point of~expression, yet how many
times have I laid aside my pen and
turned away from my mournful SER
vice in despair, for how could l write
of him?
How tell of the goodness of that
great generous heart that lay behind
it's careless business absorbed ex-
terror?
Yet who more fully than 1 am
capable of sounding his praise?
who have lived in the bosom Of his
home-around his hearth stone as
one of them. 1 who have loved him
with a love akin to filial affection,
and who in his departure am sorely
bereaved.
Before me lies a small spray of
sake from the offerings of loved ones
upon his last resting place on earth.
l was not there to lay as token Of
my love, one little bunch of flowers
on his grave, or to shed one tear
above his fower-strewn mound-but
if it were in my power I'd wreath a
garland of words so fair and fragrant
and place them to his memory, that
strangers as we'll as friends would
read and understand the real beau
ty and depths of his great noble
nature. If he had faults (and who
of us have not?) then, there were
counter balancing virtues to cover
them all.
If in the rush and maze of life's
busy mart he sometimes forgot-still
at his home, in the eventide, when
the world was shut out he made it
right, sweetly, tenderly right!
His life was full of an energy that
never tagged. After many years of
absence it was my privilege to see
him a few weeks before he died.
This full, strong, manly form had
been reduced by suffering to almost
emaciation, but his eyes had lost
none of their vigilant brightness, and
his smile, when he turned it toward
those whom he loved, was as tenderly
sweet as ever.
He was always attentive to the cry
of the widows and orphans, and those
whom life had dealt with most cru
ely, he gave to these but not for the
world to know, or for its praise, mot
as the world gives, gave he, but out
of the fullness of a heart too kind
for judgment, he gave it's richest
treasure"
With patience did he work out his
life's mission in his own appointed
way, and who can say it was not
great?
Was it not one of Gods chosen
prophets which touched the rocks
which brought forth pure water fo1
the tired, thirsty children of the
wilderness, and so our loved one has
descended, as it were, into the deep
dark recesses of the earth and
brought forth streams of life giving
water, promoting health and happi,
ness among men, women and chill
dren, not in his State alone, but
in others. He spent his life
in unremitting toll for those
he loved, he gave it unsparingly
uncomplainingly and now that he is
gone the loss is ours, for indeed We
know that he has gone to his rest
like one who folds the drapery of his
couch about him and lies him down
to pleasant dreams.
