BROTHER TES1|F|ES
FOR ]. BARTON MILLER
Takes the Stand at Trial After
Prosecution Closes
Its Case.

G. Donald Miller testified this after
noon in Criminal Court No. 2 before
Justice Gould and a jury in defense OF
his brother, John Barton Miller. former
secretary-treasurer of the defunct First
Cooperative Building Association OF
Georgetown, who is being tried on
charges of embezzling funds and destroy
ing the books of the association.
United State Attorney Wilson and AS
sistant United States Attorney Proctor
closed the case for the prosecution at the
noon recess, and, without outlinging q
defense, Attorneys Henry e. Davis and
John E. Laskey proceeded to offer testi-
mony in favor of Miller. The evidence
for the defense will occupy the attention
of the court all day Tuesday. The case
will go to the jury by Wednesday after
noon.
G. Donald Miller was the first witness
offered by the defense. He testified as
to the method of keeping books by the
association and told of the custom long IN
vogue there Of cashing checks out OF the
money drawer in the Office and after
ward depositing the checks as cash. This
latter. the defense claims. accounts Tor
the failure of the deposit slips to show
despoSit Of the exact sums realized from
settlements of loans.
Defense's Motion Denied.
The defense moved an acQuittal on the
charge of destroying the books, claiming
that no evidence had been adduced by
the prosecution to sustain the charge. The
testimony left the matter as an inference
only that the defendant had Cancelled the
books, Mr. Davis urged. The government
opposed the motion, which was denied
Ambrose. receiver
of the association, and his counsel, At
torney J. S. Easby-Smith. testified for the
government this morning. Mr.. Ambrose
told of the records which came into his
hands as received, which consisted OF a
cash book found in the office when the
receiver was appointed.
Mr. Easpy-Smith said no securities
were found in the office of the assocta-
ton, although the last annual report OF
Miller as treasurer showed assets of
$4,000.
Mr. Easby-Smith stated he expected to
find bonds or notes representing the debts
due the association from borrowers, but
found none. A search of the land records
in the office of the recorder Of deeds for
deeds of trust securing loans made by
the association was conducted by him,
the witness said. In this manner. sew
eral debts were discovered unpaid and
unreleaSed Some of these had been set
tied and not released and others were
collected.
The first report of the receiver in 1909
showed collection Of about $4,000 of
the assets. Other payments have been
made to the receiver on loans. the wit
ness stated. but was not prepared to tell
the total assets so far collected.
On cross-eXamination witness said the
advances shown in the unreleased loans
found by him total $4,000. The total of
bonds secured Hereunder. he said, would
have been twice that amount.

HOLD INAUGURAL BALL
IN CAPITOL, HE SUGGESTS
James D.. Preston Would
Utilize R0tunda and Stat
uary Halls.

That the rotunda and statuary halls OF
the United States Capitol be used for the
inaugural ball in connection with the
swearing in of Woodrow Wilson as Presi-
dent, March next, is a suggestion made
to several members of Congress today by
James D. Preston, superintendent Of the
Senate press gallery.
Those who heard Of the plan considered
it too radical to discuss for publication al
once. but agreed it was worthy Of care
full consideration.
1T seems queer that it has never ap-
pealed to the public that the rotunda OF
the Capitol was the logical and absolutely
proper place for the inauguta al bali" said
Mr.. Preston today, in outlining the plan
considered, the public would not have the
right to complain, because it can imme-
diately be seen that the outlay of money
and labor would be less here than in
any other place where such ball has
heretofore been held.
Chance for Economy.
1.-THE spacious hall itself has already its
own personal adornment and would be
interesting and patriotic without the use
of the cheap draperies which have been
4
in case of fire. The Illuminating medium
is perfect and herein is also an oppor-
tunity for economy. Any additional
adornment must be Of the most artistic
kind. presenting finished picture when
the brilliant audience is assembled. which
no other building in the United States
could ever equal.
The official part Of the program has
always been conducted at the Capitol
and II 1t is betting to inaugurate the
President and Vice President-elect in tue
Capitol building. it would seem that the
rest OF the function might be completed
In the same Ilace. The many strangers
who gather each four years would carry
toll as it has never been presented before.
The rotunda would not be SO filed at
any time as to cause congestion, the Wis.,
itors being distributed through the many
broad and attractive corridors, the prom
enade being one Of the features Of the
ball.

Plea for Mrs. Schley.

One of Senator Rayner's latest orator..
cal accomplishments was his speech in
behalf of pension of $125 a month for
Mrs. Annie r. Schley. widow of Reaa
Admiral Schley. The Senate committee on
pensions. in passing on r. Rayner's bill
giving pension of s125 month. cut the
amount Of the pension to be allowed to
about third of the sum proposed. Sena-
tor Raynor took exception to the proposed
cut in view of the distinguished services
to his country of Admiral Schley.
When the bill was to come up before
the Senate Senator Rayner reviewed the
career of Admiral Schley and pleaded
for public recognition of his services by
he granting of a pension to his widow of
sfficient size to show thanks for extra
ordinary public service. He carried his
point for the Senate voted with him
to fix the pension at $125 a month.

Republican for Vacancy.

The death Of Senator Rayner creates a
vacancy in the upper house of Congress.
which will be filled for about a year by a
republican. through appointment by the
republican Governor Of Maryland. The ap-
pointment will be effective until the state
legislature meets more than a year hence
The legislature is democratic.
1t is the belief of those prominent in
republican councils in Maryland that VIII
liam f. jackson. republican national COM
mitteeman from Maryland, will be ap-
pointed by Gov. Goldsborough to succeed
Mr.. Rayner. Mr.. Jackson has been
prominent In republican campaigns in
Maryland for a number Of years. was &C
tive in promoting the successful campaign
of Mr. Geldsborough and led the Taft
forces in the state during the preconven-
ton and campaign fights. He Is the son
of former Representative William III.
Jackson of Maryland and has been ambi-
tiouS to sit in the Senate.
The republican successor OF Mr. Ray
ner will sit during the coming short ses-
sion and, Of more Importance. during the
special session to be called by President
Wilson next spring. This means a gain
In the republican strength in the upper
House and loss to the democratic. With
the results in Illinois and Tennessee still
in doubt. this will mean that the demo-
Gratis will have forty-eight votes and the
republicans forty-five in the special SEES
sion. Should Illinois and Tennessee send
republicans, the Senate would stand tied

 It is alleged that verbal agreements between the association and manufac- turers of drilled horseshoes and ad- unstable calks provide that such man. ufacturers will market their product
