PENDANT PLEADS GUILTY.

SEEKS 100000 FOR ERROR
Plaintiff Says Carnegie Trust
Treated Him as Absconder.

Ellsworth Childs, head of the company
operating many restaurants in New York
and other cities, is the plaintiff in the Su-
preme Court against the Carnegie Trust
Company in an odd suit for 900 dam
ages The suit is the result Of getting the
plaintiff COMPOUNDED with E. Childs who
had absconded with some funds. causing
the attachment of the plaintiffs bank ac-
count with the defendant company and the
refusal to pay several checks drawn by the
plaintiff on his account.
It appears that in seeking loan from the
Carnegie Trust Company Childs talked with
Charles G. Dickinson, then the president
of the institution. who promised the loan
If Childs would place an account there.
Childs did this Subsequently the other
E ChiIds absconded with funds belonging
to the Guaranty Trust Company, and the
lawyers for the latter company learned of
an account of an E. Childs at the Carnegie
Trust Company, which they attached
In little while the pie baker. the butcher
and others called Ellsworth Chi1ds on the
telephone and told him that the Carnegie
Trust Company had refused TO pay the
checks that he had made out to them.
Childs laughed and said that it good
Joke, not knowing at the time that the
Joke was on him. He called at the Office
of the trust company TO see Mr.. Dick
inson but somehow was never able to see
him He talked with one of the other Of
ficials. who told Chids of the attachment
and promised to investigate This official
of the Carnegie Trust Company later wrote
ChiIds 4 letter explaining the whole affair.
But Childs is not satisfied with explana-
ton and asks 10000 damages for distress
of body and mind and for the company
alleged malicious and negligent dishonor-
ing Of his checks
C'hflds also complains that at the time
this occurred he was negotiating for the
sale of one of his restaurants for $4,000
but that when the news got abroad of his
checks being returned unpaid the prospec-
tive buyer dropped the negotiations.

cURANs WANT ANNEXATION.

The Forum is in receipt Of letters
from former North Dakotans who are
now residents Of Cuba that directly
contradict the magazine stories about
the patriotism of the Cubans and their
anxiety to perpetuate their government.
The claim is made that practically
nine out of ten native Cubans would
prefer that the U. S. annex the island.
The Industrial condition in some
parts Of the island are serious. In most
places the tobacco crop is light and
the natives receive only to 9 cents
per pound. In some places, accord
Ing to letters on file in The Forum,
natives are literally starving.
1t is charged that graft is rampant
everywhere. 1t is claimed the present
government is so unstable it cannot
last long. There is a great deal more
of dissention and internal trouble than
the people of the United States real
lie. The Havana papers conceal or
ignore the unrest and feeling in the in
terror to such an extent the world does
not realize the true condition.
The prediction Is made that the next
elections will cause a change that will
astonish the people.
Many Americans are greatly interest
ed in the reports from the island. Some
of their friends have gone to the An
titles to make their permanent homes
Many others have made investments
there and reside on their holdings a
part Of each winter. A little revolution
down there would cause them consid-
cradle financial loss. There are few
but would be delighted" to see the U
S. flag again floating over the island
and for all time.

MooRHEAD SALOONS.

The saloon men of Moorhead appear
to have about concluded the sale Of
WHISTLES and wines at least, will be
placed under the ban Oct. Is. Some OF
them declare they are hopeful that
there will be a further extension Of the
order--but many are now making the
preliminary preparations for closing.
Few believe the sale of beer will be
stopped. They insist there is nothing
in the treaty that will prevent its sale
but the majority seem to believe
there will be very few of the saloon
men continue in the business just to
handle beer. The license Is SO large
that it will require large business
to insure profits.
The saloonmen believe that IL the
places are closed the next congress
will repeal the measure by which the
limits of the Indian treaty were ex-
tended as far west as the Red river.
There is another phase to the law
that Is worrying some Of the mem
even If congress does help out. Mime
sofa has a law that provides, where
saloons have been closed and later the
citizens vote the town wet, the num-
Der of saloons must be limited to one
for every 500 population. This would
give Moorhead only about one-fourth
the present number, even with fav-
orable congressional action.
Some attorneys contend that this 500
law applies only when towns are voted
dry and wet, and would not be ap-
plieable where federal interference
closed the saloons.
Over in Moorhead the original pa
troll limits extended only as far west as
Fourth street. Some years ago. by &C
ton Of the council, 1t was extended to
the river. 1t is claimed that if saloons
are ever reopened in Moorhead-after
being once closed-the original patrol
limits viii be enforced and there will
be no more river bank dispensaries.
