Alleges There Were Aides.
Petitioner alleges that defendant
has associated with him in this wicked
md nefarious enterprise sundry conf

Ant the object of their conspiracy"
Rothleuter then goes on to describe
how. he alleges, he was inveigled, by
means of small bets at Miami on Feb
ruerv 2 1913 into signing a check for
s1o 900 to place on a sure thing thaI
y n Brown, who introduced himself
&c stock dealer of Minneapolis, and

BERLIN, March 26.-Adrianople has

The allies are in possession of the

A Schipka regiment entered Adrian

Shukrika Pacha, the Turkish com

captured.
The capture of the city followed the
most terrific bombardment of the Bal

upon the Turkish forts, In grand
assault the other lines were taken oy
the Bulgarians and .Servians.
Next to the surrender of CONSTANT
NOBLE. the fall of Adrianople La the
most important victory the Balkan al
lies could have won.
The possession of Adrianople has
been the point upon which the peace
negotiations between the allies and
Adrianople have split. The allies de-
mand that the Turks cede the fortress,
and the sulten's emissaries emphat-
ically refuse.
After days of negotiations, during
which several times the peace meetings
were broken up in angry disputes, the
meetings we're finally discontinued, and
within a few days the war was re-
sumed. 1t is believed now that with
the fall Of Adrianople the end OF the
war is in sight And it is further
thought that Turkey viii now be forced
to give up its inland stronghold to the
allies. The fact that Adrianople is
now in their possession gives the Bal =
kan league further ground upon which

GRAFTON of the bill in committee was of
inestimable value to the country.
Referring to the alleged money trust,
Senator Reed said that he thought that
perhaps the current report of the ac-
tivities of such a trust had at times
been exaggerated
But, l believe" said Senator Reed,
there has been too much truth in these
reports He said that one of the first
things to be demanded from banking
currency law in this country was the
independence of banks, and this, he said,
was safeguarded in the pending bill.
Senator Reed said that the cry had
been raised that the present banking
system of the United States was the
poorest in the world. This cry, he said,
had been raised by men who selfishly
wished to establish a great central bank,
privately owned the earnings of which
would go into their pockets.
II deny, said Senator Reed, that the
present banking system of this country
is the poorest in the world I say that
it is the best banking system in the
world; that while it has its defects. when
compared with the banking system of
other nations it's advantages more than
offset its defects

plying to Senator Cummins, chided him

Senator Cummins, when governor of

Holds Lewis Mistaken.
Senator Cummins replied that Sena-
tor Lewis was mistaken, that he had
begun his fight against caucus legis-
lation back in 1883. when he was a
member of the state Legislature of
Iowa, and at that time he had refused

no caucus action in support of the rail
way bills to which Senator Lewis re-
ferred while he was governor. Ger
tainly, he said. there had been no
caucus at his suggestion.
