PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
Remanded to Jail in Default of Bail
RImor of More Arrests.

Boston. Mass, March 4.-Persistent
rumora in circulation today regarding
the possibility of more arrests ia con-
nection with the wrecking of the Ma
tional City bank of Cam bridge, had not
been fulfilled tonight. When young
Wilson Lockhart, Intimate friend and
chauffeur of George w. Coleman, the
accused booltkeepcr. was taken into
custody last night. charged with con-
spring with Coleman in making false
entries in the banks books. it was pre-
dictcd that other arrests would follow
shortly. but although the federal in
VestiSatiOn of the banks affairs dis
played much activity during the day.
no arrests resulted.
Lockhart appeared before the Unit
er States commissioner Hayes, plead
ed not guilty, and was remanded to
Jail in default of $4,000 bail.
Meanwhile the Boston police and
District Attorney Pclletier of Suffolk
county continued their Investigation
of the operations of a band of faro
men, whose dealings with Coleman are
believed to have consumed a portion
of the missing funds of the National
City bank.
Thus far the investigation has shown.
according TO the district attorney. that
the operations of the faro game have
resulted in losses of many thousands of
dollars to Boston business men. The
reluctance of the victims to admit thier
losses had handicapped the district
attorney but he claims to have garner
ed enough information to warrant pre-
senting the matter to the grand jury.

OYSTER HEARING FINISHED,
NO RADICAL REGULATIONS
Anticipated by Either the Connecticut
or Rhode Island Growers.
Especial to The BuIletin. !

Especial to The Bu1letin)
Washington, March 4-The oyster
hearing before DIR. Wiley and the pure
food board of the department of agri-
culture was finished yesterday after
noon, and the Connecticut and Rhode
Island oyStermen had their innings.
frederick L. Perry of New Haven, the
clerk OF the Connecticut shellfish COM
mission, made the principal statement
for Connecticut. He told the board
what the cities along the streams are
trying to do to enforce better regula-
tions for the disposal of sewage, and
he assured the board that Connecticut
is doing all it can to improve condi-
tions all along the streams, and the
authorities were trying to clean up
the rivers and along the coast.
f. 5. Beardsley of Bridgeport ex-
planned to the board the system of Civ
ing oysters drink in 'brackish water,
and showed that this was for the ben
eft of the oyster. Mr.. Beardsley stat
ed, however, that seed oysters were
shipped from Connecticut to the Pa
cific coast and to England, and are
out of the water for from ten to thir-
teen days without getting preIimi-
nary drink. 1t was explained that
this required more expensive packing.
The Connecticut oystermen made a
much better impression than the oys-
termen from New Jersey. The Con-
necticut men were very careful not
to antagonize the board, and agreed
with DIR. Wiley on many points made
diet the statements OF New Jersey
men, but some of their testimony was
different from that of the Jersey peo-
pie. and seemed to meet with the ap-
proval of the board.
The Rhode Island men secured a
secret hearing. Just why, did not de-
velop at the open hearing. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that they argued
on the same lines as the Connecticut
men, indeed, the two states stand to-
gether on this proposition, and the
Rhode Island men are really a part of
the Connecticut oyster industry, as a
great many of the oysters are origi-
nally shipped from Connecticut and
placed on Rhode-Island beds.
Both the Connecticut and Rhode Is
land oystermen expressed themselves
as well pleased with the hearing. and
do not anticipate any radical regula-
tions by the department, as long as
they have shown they are willing to
assist in making the waters of the two
states pure can be under the cir
cumStanceS

ing permitted himself TO use too free
ly the names of two noble women dur
ing stormy debate in the chamber of
deputies today, Eugenio Chiesa, the
well-iSnown republican deputy, must
fight three duels. Count Giacomo Mo-
rando. a nephew of one of the women,
and General Prudente and Signor Mo-
rando are the challengers.
Signor Chiesa addressed an inter
rogation to the government on what
he asserted was the influence of the
Austrian Baroness Siesmo on the ItaI-
ian army, by reason, as he alleged. of
her having been on friendly terms with
the late Lieut--Gen. Tancredi Saletta.
chief of staff, and afterwards with
General Fecia the commander of the
grand manoeuvres-
General Prudente, under secretary of
war, refused to answer the deputy
whereupon Chiesa heaped insults upon
him and the army and also declared
that the Duchess Litta was a great
favorite of the late King Humbert
Deputy Morando, who is a nephew of
the duchess, Immediately boxed Chi
esa's ears and then he and Generals
Fecia and Prudente challenged Chiesa
to combat.

fore they could be arrested. A few
days after leaving they sent a letter
to Biesburg dated at Westtleld, Mass,
