the state against Clyde Lundy. the
Centerville, Ind, druggist charged
with bootlegging, after they had de-
liberated from 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon until after 10 o'clock this

sentiment was evenly divided as to
the guilt or innocence of the defend
ant. Very few changes were recorded
from the original ballot.
Lundy Is charged with having sold
liquor to Charles Basson 1t was al
legged by the defense that Basson had
procured prescription from DR.. Har-
rison Gabel, father-in-law of the de-
fendant, for a bottle of whiskey and
black berry wine mixed The liquor
was to be used for medicinal pur-
poses.
The state attempted to prove that
DR.. Gabel and the defendant were in

mond Soon.

AT the meeting of the West Side
Improvement association last night a
resolution was passed upon the recon-
mendetion of the West Side women
that the street car company be asked
to prohibit the smoking of cigars,
cigarets or pipes on the cars in the
city. Numerous complaints have been
made by the women that all cars are
crowded with men who stand on the
rear platform of the cars and smoke
The peculiar arrangement of the car
doors makes 1t necessary at times for
the rear platform doors to be closed.
At such times the women say, the
smoke fl1s the inside of the cars. A
committee was appointed to ask the
street car company to prohibit the
practice. 1t is the opinion of the wom-
en- that the men are able to keep from
smoking the short length of time that
they are in the cars. The remon-
stance of the women was very en-
phatic, according to members of the
association.

EXPLAINS BANKING
CUSTOM RECEIPTS
Detailed Statement Sent to
the Senate By Secretary
of the Treasury.
(Nationai News Association)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-In re-
sponse to the resolution passed by the
senate, Secretary of Treasury Mac
Veagh transmitted to the senate a let
ter and statement giving elaborate de-
tails of the circumstances OF the an
of circular No. and its
workings. regarding the placing of
customs receipts in national bank de-
positoriss instead Of the sub treas
uries. The secretary says under the
national bank law repositories were
made the fiscal agents of the govern
ment, and provided that all revenues
except those from customs might be
deposited in such repositories. He
goes on to explain that since 1911 both
customs and internal revenues are
paid by checks but that the checks
must be cashed before the proceeds
can be deposited In the sub treasures.
The secretary says, AS the daily pay
ments of the government are practical
ly equal to it's daily income the desir-
ability of a method whereby the re-
ceipts and payments shall clear each
other Is apparent, and the method to
be complete should bring about this
clearing before the point is reached of
converting the checks into currency
in the sub treasures. The new plan
is designed to accomplish this result
and it's operation cannot result in the
automatic accumulation of government
funds in national bank repositories"

Der 1000; the other 1000 insurgents
