Decatur. April Especial with his
joan W. knight, head of the cotton firm
of knight. Yancey & Co., which company

the first statement tonight that he has
made since the failure.
Mr.. Knight has been accused by his
partners in business of being responsible
for the failure. All day long W. ]. YEN
cey OF Memphis w. D. Nesbitt of Bir-
mingham and r. H. Nesbitt of Spartan
burg. S. c., have been here with expert
accountants examining the books of the
firm, and after the examination had moth
ing to say and left the city.
Ever since the failure it has been init
mated that John w. Knight was wholly
responsible and that criminal proceedings
would likely be taken against him. As
yet no criminal or other kind of actions
have been instituted against Mr.. Knight.
AS he sat calmly in his office this aft
ernoon he gave this interview:
AT the request of Mr.. w. D. Nesbitt
of Birmingham. Mr.. w. J. Yancey of
Memphis and Mr. r. H. Nesbitt of Spar
tanburg, 3. C., the nonresident partners
of Knight, Yancey & Co.. l make the fol-
lowing statement:
prior to the failure of Knight, Yam
cey & Co. my nonresident co-partners
did not participate actively in the conduct
of the firms affairs, and so far as l
know had no knowledge of the conditions
of the business since the summer of 1909,
and prior to the failure
This statement is characteristic of John
knight. He is man of few words and
leaves others to do the talking. Further
he said:
Later on / will have more to say and
more OF It than have now"
He does not appear to realize that his
name has gone around the world as one
of the greatest plungers of modern times

ANOTHER PlTTSBURG
MILLIONAIRE INDICTED.
cused of Bribe Giving BY
Grand Jury.

Pittsburg, April THE climax
promised in the Pittsburg graft ex-
posure came as promised late yester-
day with the presentment by The
grand jury of lengthy report. in
which is recommended the indictment
of Frank N. Hoffstot, president of the
Pressed Steel Car Company, and one
of the most prominent business men
in the country.
simultaneously in open court came
the plea of Emil Winter, president of
the Workingmen's Savings and Trust
Company, that he had no defense to
make to the charge that he gave a
$4,000 bribe to former Councilman
Morris Einstein.
Just before President Winters an
pearance in Judge Fraser's court, the
bookkeeper of the Workingman's Saw
ings Bank and Trust Company of Allie
gheny had also pleaded nolle conten-
dere to a charge of falsifying the books
OF the bank in connection with the
payment of $4,000 to Einstein. The
pleas of Winter and Anderson came
opportunely for the district attorney
said that otherwise they were to have
been indicted today.
Anderson who for twenty years had
been a private secretary to President
Winter, was charged with having cut
from the banks ledger several pages
on which were special accounts" of
Emil Winter and Mrs. Winter. The
district attorney said that the missing
pages were later found by State Bank

That Habit of His Followed

Leonine City
CLER|CALS ARE NOT AGREED
Some of Them in Italy and France
Censure Cardinal Merry
del Val.

Rome, April 7.-Some prominent ec-
clesiastics who were received by the
Pope today managed to introduce the
subject of the Roosevelt incident The
pontiff expressed the deepest regret
that he had been prevented from meet
| ing and speaking with the former
president, but gave utterance to NO
opinion regarding the incident. The
affair continues a live subject for pop
Iular discussion and is emphasized by
what the liberal press calls a new mis-
take of Cardinal Merry Del Val who
had before prevented the Choral So
ciety of Cologne from being received
by the Pope because the society had
visited the Quirinal and sung before
the Italian sovereigns, in spite Of the
fact that every year hundreds of per-
sons are received by King Victor
Emmanuel and afterwards admitted
to the presence of the Pope. The Mes
senger says: Within few days
Cardinal Merry Del Val has shown
discourtesies to the most beloved
American citizen and to gathering
,of the most beloved persons of Ger
many and indirectly to the King of
Italy. AS long as this young and au-
dacious Spanish cardinal dominates
the Leonine city the Italian liberals
must be on their guard"
After Cardinals Prestige.
Paris, April THE Matin today
claims that the treatment Of Mr..
Roosevelt by. Vatican meets with
the disappfoval of the highest and
most important ecclesiastical circles,
including many members of the Sa-
cred college. who hold that Cardinal
Merry Del Val and not the Pope is
responsible. The Matin thinks the
adversaries of the papal secretary will
seize the incident as a weapon with
which to break down his authority
and prestige.

PREHISTORIC SKELETON
UNEARTHED.

Prescott, April 7.-While engaged
in excavation work in the Williamson
valley near here workmen unearthed
the skeleton of a human being which
is doubtless that of member of some
aboriginal tribe which inhabited the
valley hundreds of years before the
advent of the white man. The bones
are those of man of very large size
and the arms were very long. One
popularity of the skeleton was the
fact that the teeth, all of which were
in the skull, were very long and sharp
and very unlike those belonging to
human beings of the present day. The
bones seemed to be in a semi-petrified
state and are in an excellent state of
preservation.
The place where the skeleton was
found is believed to have been the
fort of a prehistoric people who lived
and fiourished in the valley even be-
fore the blood thirsty Apache held
sway over this part of the country.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 7.-Three bank

at Verona, H., today, after an exciting
race between a freight train and a
number of automobiles carrying mem
bers of the pursuing posse. The cap
tives belonged to band of five which
robbed the Bank of Coal City at
Coal City, H., and escaped with ST.

freight train. They began operations
by seizing and binding Barney G. Het-
ton, the night watchman, and Wash
ington Frye, the night engineer of the
electric light plant. They then blew
the safe of the bank, seized the
money, and fled to the railroad yards,
where they leaped on the Santa Fe
freight train. Hetton soon succeeded
in freeing himself, rushed to the tele-
phone, and notified Night Watchman
Miller at Macon, H., seven miles
south. Miller and DR.. Edwards laid in
wait when the train stopped at Macon,
the ROBBERS leaped from the cars, hid
in clump of shrubbery and exchang-
ed a score or more of shots with Mil
Ter and Edwards. When the train
started the bandits leaped aboard.
Several automobiles were pressed into
service and the pursuit began, the ma
chimes keeping the train in sight and
the posse occasionally firing. When
the train stopped at Verona, the cars
were searched and three of the rob-
bers, all wounded, were found. The
other two had escaped.

ARIZONA STOcKMEN COMPLAIN
OF RAVAGES OF WILD DOGS.

Prescott, April Farmers and
stockmen living near Camp Wood,
Arizona, are loud in their complaint
OF the ravages of wild dogs on their
stock and fowls. Young pigs, calves
and chickens are favorite feasts of the
beasts which are said to be the de-
scendants of several large dogs that
forsook the ways of civilization some
years ago and joined a band of
wolves in the mountains. The wild
dogs are as large as Newfoundlands
and are extremely vicious. An organi-
zation is being effected among the
ranchmen to rid that section of the
beasts.
