u. S. Chamber of Commerce
FayOrs Trade Commission

WASHINGTON, June 3.-As a re-
suit of a referendum conducted by
the Chamber of Commerce of the
tinted states the membership of that
organization went on record, 522 to
124, in favor of the creation of an
interstate trade commission of five
members, to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the SEN
ate, not more than three Of whom
shall be of the same political party.
THE Chamber of Commerce of the
United States consists of the cham

United States, and the referendum,
therefore, reflects accurately the
views of the business men of the
| United States.
The membership also adopted by a
vote of 531 to SO a recommendation to
give the Interstatee Trade Commits
sion Jurisdiction in conducting in
designations of all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, except
such as are amenable to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

J. BANK THEFTS
High Bridge Bank Gets Verdict
of $e3,518.s4, Sequel to
Beavers EmbezzIement.

NEW YORK, June "a jury in
the case OF the First National Bank
of High Bridge, N. j., against c. |.
Hudson & Co, stock brokers, Of Sc
Wall street, returned q verdict for
s93, 51S.S4 for the plaintiff yesterday
before Justice Davis in the Supreme
Court. The brokerage house had
carried the accounts of Abram l..
Beavers, formerly cashier of the High
Bridge Bank, whose Wall Street OPP
erations caused that institution to
close it's doors temporarily in Jan
uary, 1913
Beavers sunk about 100000 of his
banks money in his various dealings.
He was tried in the Federal Courts
on the specific charge of embezzling
$4,000, and was found guilty. He
pleaded non vult and was sentenced
to five years in the Atlanta Peniten-
tiary. After his prosecution the First
National Bank of High Bridge be-
gan suit here against c. 1. Hudson
& Co., Beavers's agents.
The trial before Justice Davis
lasted for seven days and the case
hung on the banks allegation that
the brokers had received money and
securities from Beavers after sufii-
securities had been Incorporated.
The evidence on this point was
wholly circumstantial. Through let
tiers and statements of accounts it
was shown that Beavers, a man of
small means, was carrying as high
as 5000 shares of stock on margin,
but there was no contention that the
defendants had knowledge of their
clients thefts.
Beavers was one of the witnesses
called by the bank. He was brought
from the Atlanta penitentiary on
writ of habeas corpus and told of his
dealings with the brokerage firm and
how he lost the banks money.
The depositors of the High Bridge
Bank did not suffer by Beavers's
specula lions, but a reorganiza-
ton of the bank was made
necessary. Ex-Governor Foster
NJ. voorhees,, of New Jersey,
became president of the bank after
its reorganization. Beavers's depos-
its with the brokerage firm amounted
TO about sS5, 900, and the verdict OF
1893. 51s.8 "a included all of these depos-
its plus the proceeds Of the sale OF
stock which Beavers had left with
the brokers as collateral. Beavers
had taken this stock from the vaults
of the bank.
Harold Nathan, of Leventritt, Cook
& Nathan, represented the High
Bridge Bank, and eX-State senator
John Godfrey SAKE and John a.
Carver represented the defendants.
1t was said yesterday that an ap-
peal would be taken.
If this verdict is sustained by the
higher courts, lawyers say, 1t Will
set a precedent as regards the per
sonal responsibility of stock brokers'.
Under the laws of the state proker-
age firms are forbidden to handle ac-
Counts for clerks of banking institu-
tions. In the case of the High Bridge
Bank. however, Beavers was an OIL
| Ger of the bank. Under the verdict
| c. I. Hudson 81 Co. are held respon-
sible for every misappropriated dol
lar which Beavers deposited for his
Wall Street operations.

The convicts of Joliet are is

Post" the material for which is
contributed by prisoners. They
have to get it printed outside
the penetentiary, however, as a
search among the 2,l5O convicts
in the pen failed TO reveal a
single printer. Editors were
minus also, and they had to
get a real estate man to edit
the paper. Trere were bank
ers, preachers, doctors and

so many times in regard to the
inspection Of my cattle l would
like to inform the public of the
facts in regard to the same,

in regard to the present inspec-
ton law.
Some time ago l shipped q
car load of hogs to Omaha, they
tagged seven head for tubercu-
losis In about ten days l was
served with notice that my cat
tie and the rest of my hogs had
to be inspected which terminal
ed in eight head out of seven
teen head of cattle being con-
demned and also two hogs.
shipped all my cattle and
the two condemned hogs to
Sioux City at a loss of about
five hundred dollars, as l did
not want to keep any of the
calves from the same COWS on
the farm.
Now what l want to know, is,
after l have sacrificed what ]
have, to protect the public,
what protection have l when
go to buy more cows unless
there was a law to compel all
the cattle in the state to be
tested, for l don't believe that
my cattle are the only ones that
are infected, therefore / might
buy a worse bunch than the
ones that sold.
Now don't understand that
am not in favor of getting rio
of all that is diseased, for l am
but the way the present lawt
are they have about the same
effects towards stopping the
spread of diseases as to pour
pint of water in the ocean t.
help drown a man that you
wanted to get rid of.
If the law was passed fol
graft it is perfect, but if it wa
passed to protect the public

is, unless all cattle are inspect

Make homes attractive
Out of them that amt. "

The Iowa State board of health
designates that, beginning
with Monday, May q, 1914. ev-
cry city, town and hamlet in
the State begin to clean up the
alleys, back yards and front
yards, to make sanitary and at
tractive the store fronts and
residence fronts with a fresh
coat of paint, to start sodding
and planting and parking, AND
to make q general cleaning, in
order to prevent diseases. We
know and believe that the peo.
pie of Iowa will join US, and
this can be made an annual
event Of immense value in
arousing civic consciousness in
practical sanitation and conser-
vation-and in actual business
activity in the community-in
labor and advertising and sales
incident to focusing the public
interest on these important and
seasonable matters.
Many people spend hundreds
of dollars on the furnishings of
their homes and only an occa-
sional caller gets to admire
them. A much smaller amount
spent in a good coat of fresh
paint to the exterior, a general
cleaning up of the premises
and q few flowers would give
pleasure to thousands of pass
ers by and their friends as we'll.
Will your paper assist us in
this campaign by helping in
the publicity and in urging
your advertisers to feature the
idea and the goods appropriate
to it.
Every school boy and eir1
should come to the aid of their
parents in cleaning out the
