He began business with $16G borrowed capital He now owns sixteen building lots and can certify to $9,O0o. T signed against the Free Bridge said this gentleman, but want to apologize for my action.

GENERAL MUPMY'S
 CONDITION IMPROVES

Little Rock, Nov. 2S.-Former At torney General Geo. w. Murphy, for many years the leading criminal at torney of Arkansas, is now out of danger, and is expected soon to re- turn to his law practice. General Murphy was run down by an auto mobile driven by Dr. E. P. Bledso, while crossing street, and several ribs fractured. On account of his advanced age, it was feared the in- juries might prove fatal, but General Murphy gave a specimen of his war time fighting spirit, and after few weeks in bed, will be as good as ever.

BAN UPON
 HIGH OFFICIALS Secretary of Treasury and Comptroller Barred
 From Banks
WHEN TERMS EXPIRE
Currency Bill Provides Against Them Heading Institutions For
 Two Years.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-After the currency laws have been reformed through the passage of the admins tration currency bill, the practice of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Controller of the Currency leav- ing their desks at the expiration oi their terms of office and going to the head of some important financial institution will not be permitted.
 In the past is has been the almost invariabie custom for these officials with all the confidential information of the Department at their command to step from public office into a high salared post in large city bank. Naturally this knowledge is the thing that makes their service valuable. It gives the bank with which they become associated, an ad- vantage over those who cannot know what the former department head has learned while il office This condition of affairs has creat- ed scandal III some instances.
 The Democratic caucus today dis cussed this question at length and sentiment was overwhelming gly in favor of making every member of the federal reserve board and the Com troller of the Currency ineligible as a bank official for a period of at least two years after his retirement from office. Such a provision will be written into the bill.
 Matter Is Delayed
 It become apparent today that the senate caucus will not be able to con- clude consideration of the currency bill in time to inaugurate Monday morning the party program of pam ming the measure through the Senate So many senators are out of town that there has never been an aften- dance of more than thirty at ses- sion. The only importan question thus far definitely settled, that there shall be bank ownership and control of the reserves of the banks Every other important fundamental question has passed over for a fuller attendance of senators. This full at- tendance is not expected until Mon- day, when the regular session of con- gress convenes.
 Senator Smith, of Georgia, made it clear today that he would fight the bill with all his power if it were not made definite in the measure that Atlanta should be independent ot New Orleans. He is supported by a number of other southern senators whose cities transact all their finan- cial business through the eastern banks.

Washington Nov. 2S.-Although high officials of the administration cling to the belief that the downfall of Huerta appears inevitable and that Carranza will be in Mexico City by January 1. orders were issued by Secretary of the Navy Daniels for the battleships Connecticut. Kansas and Ohio to pro- ceed to Mexican waters from the Medi- terranean. These vessels will arrive at Guantanamo December 1, take on coal and sail for Vera Cruz.
 It has been stated that these ves- sells are intended to relieve the Louis jana, Michigan and New Hampshire. but it is not denied that necessities may arise from change of this pro- gram. It is recalled that a similar declaration was made six weeks ago when third division of the Atlantic fleet was ordered south ostensibly to relieve the second division.
 At the State and Navy Departments it was stated today that there were no critical developments at Tampico The Battleships Nebraska and Rhode Island and the Gunboat Wheeling are still stationed at that port ready to deal with any anti-foreign demonstra- ton by General Aguilars rebel forces.
 Rebels Are Gaining.
 Both army and navy officials are conceding that the rebels are making great headway and that if they con- tinue their campaign on the present line they will undoubtedly be able tc settle with Huerta at the Mexican capital and will therefore be entitled to recognition as defacto govern ment by the United States.
 According to the war department map of the campaign the rebels are now in control of the state of Sonora Snaloa, Chihuahua. Durango and Zacatepas, San Luis Potosi, Nuevc Leon and Tamaulitas and the territory of Topic. This comprises more than one-half the total area of Mexico.
 It is believed the battle now inn pending at Chihuahua City will be the decisive one of the campaign and thai Huerta, if defeated, will concentrate his forces around Mexico City for the final battle to decide the final fate oi Mexico.

 Case.
AT SHELBYVILLE, IND.

 ders of the Rue Morgue.

Craig, on trial here for the murder of Dr. Helen Knabe who was found in her Indianapolis apartments with her throat cut on October IA 1911, was gathered through the agency of clairvoyants was the startling charge made by attorneys representing Dr. Craig today.
 This, coupled with the defense S theory that the Knabe murder is an enactment in life of Poes fictional Murders of Rue Morgue, in which an ape committed atrocities which for months baffled the pollce of Europe promises to make the actual trial o1 Dr. Craig the most fantastic and un- real in the criminal history of the middle west The promise of the spir, itual testimony introduction came during the examination of the special panel of fifty veniremen drawn from the farmers of Shelby county
 Spring Surprises.
 Attorney Henry M. Spann. chief o1 the jurors on the question Will you of will you not place credence in any evidence or information coming direct ly or indirectly from spirituallsts? The reply of every veniremen ques' toned was: That mediums do not count among us plain people. On this answer the challenges were with drawn. The examination of venlre men brought out the fact that the state's case rests entirely upon cir cumstantial evidence.
 A number of prospective jurymer were excuse dor challenged by Pros ecuting Attorney John E. Cheney be cause they said that circumstantia evidence would require much more corroboration to bring about verdict of guilty tha nwould evidence of ey' | witnesses. Eleven prospective jurors accepted temporarily by both state ant defense, remained in the jury bo, | when court adjourned at five o'clocl tonight. There was every indication that the jury would be completed ant i the actual taking of testimony started in the morning.
