BANK CASHIER ON STAND
]. T. Ashley Tells How Union
Covered Up Bad Debts.
USED AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNT
Investigator Shows That Peo-
pies Stock Was Purchased for
100000 in Excess of Value.

The merger of the Peoples Bank with
the Mechanics and Traders Bank, in 1905,
and how certain features OF the transac-
ton were apparently covered up by an
account I'm one OF the dummy companies
operated by the latter bank, was subject
OF some interesting testimony yesterday at
the resumption of the hearings in the In
vegtgation Of the affairs Of the Union
Bank. Of Brooklyn. before Deputy Bank
Superintendent Dodge in the Kings County
Court House.
James c. Cropsey. who continued 10 eX-
anime witnesses. brought out that the
merger price was excessive to the extent
OF about $4,000 which. he said, furnished
a strong motive for obscuring the transac-
ton on the books Of the Union Bank as
the Mechanics and Traders became known
after its failure and reopening I'm 1903.
Major James T. Ashley, cashier OF the
old Mechanics and Traders Bank, who
later served in the same capacity with the
Union Bank. spent an uncomfortable two
hours on the witness stand under the rapid
fire Of Mr.. Cropsey's questions. After
some clever parrying Of questions, the wit
ness finally lost his poise, admitted that
ne had made a wrong answer to one
question, and afterward answered so
frankly as to surprise every one connected
with the investigation.
Ashley admitted that the account OF the
Orr Contracting Company, of which ne
was an incorporation, director and treas
urer. was used by the Union Bank to
charge off most Of its bad loans and other
debts. The account was a sort of supple
Tnentary profit and loss account, and was
used TO cover up such items as the bank
cid not want to appear on its own profit
ana loss account, he said
"AIl Bad Debts Wiped Out"
80 that when the bank examiners came
along the books Of the Union Bank
showed that all these bad debts had been
paid in account with the Orr company. Is
that so?" asked Mr.. Cropsey.
yes, that they had all been wiped out, -
replied the witness.
Ashley said he did not remember OF
telling any one what the Orr company ac-
count was, and had no recollection that the
bank examiners had ever asked him about
It. He admitted that in order TO get an
accurate idea Of the condition OF the bank
II would have been necessary TO know
about the Orr account The Orr account
always represented a profit account with
the bank Ashley declared.
But II there had been a debit on that
account. where would you have put it on
the books asked Mr. Cropsey.
The witness at first declined to answer.

WEIGHING OF EARS BY BOY
Sign Of Donkey Traits, Says Instructor
Of Chicago school-VioIates Law
of Science.

Chicago.-Another priced accom-
plishment of childhood has been
frowned upon by science. No longer
will the boy who can wig-wag his ears
arouse envy in the hearts Of his
school chums.
J. Howard Moore, instructor of ZOO
logy at the Crane Technical high
school, who spoke before the Young
Peoples Socialist league the other
night, placed the ban on the fiip-hap-
ping by declaring such an action was
viola ting a law Of science and mere
ly giving strength to tendencies oper-
ating against his proper evolution"
Translates into schoolboy English,
Mr. Moore's tabooing of one of the
time honored amusements of the
schoolroon means that such an accom-
plishment2 points to traits in the pos
session of the wager which usually
belong to the donkey.
Man was once wild animal and
contended unarmed with other ami
mails for food and life. And so long
as he was on an equal footing in the
battle for life he had need Of his ears.
But nowadays he has become such a
chemical wonder that he blows out the
lives of his enemies with explosives,
and his ears have gone to ruin as a
conseql ence.'
