objection to Raising More Cash.

Secretary McAdoo was told that the
New York banks felt that they were doing
all that was required OF them in raising
the agreed amount and that II an attempt
was made to increase that amount II
might not be forthcoming. The belief
was expressed. however. that the Secre-
tary would eventually get the funds he
wanted from the banks outside OF New
York II was pointed out that II neces-
sary Government funds could be deposited
with the banks TO facilitate the cotton
loans. Many bankers hold that the cotton
situation Is not as bad as the South and
the Secretary OF the Treasury would make
II appear.
MIR Johnsons opinion on the cotton
pool in part was as follows:
IL am very decidedly OF the opinion
that no bank should participate in the
proposed cotton pool. II Is the duty OF
the directors Of each bank 10 retain the
custody OF its funds under their own con-
troll and TO exercise their judgment, acting
directly and through their agents and In
accordance with the usual course OF busi-
ness in the use TO be made OF the banks
funds
Tine proposed plan takes certain
amount OF money TO the extent OF the CON
trlbution out OF the custody OF the banks
directors and vests In outside parties the
discretion OF its use. The only terms pre-
scribed to those TO whom the bank en-
trusts the funds II contributes Is that
they shall not lend on cotton at greater
rate than six cents a pound.

DENY SLIPPING IN
SALARY INCREASES
G.. L. Tirrell and Tilden Adam

ONE ALDERMAN CHANGES

George l.. Tirrell and Tildcn Adamson,
directors OF Board of Estimate bureaus,
whose salaries are raised from $4,000 to
$500 In the budget for 1913 said In
Joint statement last night that they had
been wrongfuly accused of having used
their positions to obtain increases for
themselves when other salaries were being
cut and city employees were being dis
charged.

We took advantage Of our positions TO
play trick and to slip into the budget
Increases OF $500 each for ourselves
also that those Increases were concealed
in lump sum appropriations which were
slipped into the budget at the last minute
and adopted by the Board OF Estimate
without the knowledge OF the members OF
the hoard
THE only fact Tn this charge is that
We were both members OF the sub-com-
mlttoe on the tax budget All the other
statements are haselpss f1brications which
are fully dsproved by official records"

Mr. Tirrcn is the director OF the bureau

tor of the bureau Of contract supervision.
They say that because they were members
OF the Uoard ~ Estimates sub committee
on tax budget they ins sted that no in

approval by the entire board. They say
that Increases for themselves were not
slipped into the budget at the last minute,
hu; were made almost twelve hours before
the budget was adopted with the knowl-
edge and approval OF every member OF
the board
THE Increases" says their statement,
were not hidden in q lump sum. but were
set forth in salary schedules that even a
little child could understand. Every mem
Der Of the board voted for the increases
on a definite motion"
These increases. according 10 Tirrell
and Adamson. are only two Of almost
400 for resular employees and l.40O
for temporary employees OF the Street
Cleaning Department.
THE truth is" the statement goes on
shat We did not vote for our own in
creases and that We did not sp ak one
word in favor Of our Increases when the
matter was considered by the Board OF
Estimate although We did plead for in
creases for nderpaid employees In our
Offices
THE truth is that these increases were
fully known to scores OF persons before
they were adopted by the Board OF ESti-
mate and that they were set forth each in
line by itself in scheduled bulge,
officially transmitted TO the Board Of

leading corporation lawyers In the United
States. on the proposed slS5.000.o0o cot
ton pool. in which he stated that no bank
should participate in the pool. aroused
great interest in the financial district
yesterday, where there had already been
some objection to the proposition that New
York give 10000. 900 for the relief of the
South.
Mr.. Johnsons implied comment that
participation In the pool was not good

been felt for long time that money

be tied up for year or more A bank.
according to conservative estimates, eS-

times year. New York institutions,
with $4,000. 900 tied up In the cotton
pool would have to stand by and see
just that amount OF money Invested once
and then lying dormant I'm a venture
which would last for year. and which
would perhaps be extended for six months.
Authoritative confirmation was secured
yesterday of tho fact that Secretary
McAdoo had asked several New York
bankers who had been particularly active
in the cotton pool negotiations 60 aid In
raising more than the s50000,0O0 which
this city had agreed to put into the poo

The case of F. E. Leuhe VS..

services rendered as a public ac-
countant was on in district court
when we went to press last week.
The case came to trial Friday and

that time until Monday morning
when they brought in a verdict
for $1Ol.50, being about half the

committee of citizens during the

check up the city books and rem

only a little over SO, 100000 when
the true amount was over $685.

The Mckenzie County Murder
Mystery Further Complicated

Schafer, N. D., Aug. 5.-The
body found in the Missouri river
near Nesson and identified at the
time as that of Henry Sexse. for
whose murder Sam Burns is held
without bonds, was not that Of
Sexse, but was that of Carl Rad
nitz of Minneapolis.
This last discovery increases
the mystery of the disappearance
of Sexse and leaves the position
of Burns more in doubt. Sexse
a claim holder, disappeared. A
few days later a body thought to
have been his. with bullet hole
in the breast, was found in the
river. A short time afterwards
Sam Burns. neighbor. stated
that he had purchased Sexse' 8
farm and the latter had gone to
Canada. He also is alleged to
ave sold some personal articles
that were known to have belong
ed to Sexse. This led to his ar
rest and so excited did some
people become that there was
talk of lynching and Burns was
transferred to the Jail at Minot.

and are endeavoring to take back

American bankers for these
reasons find it necessary to con-
serve all gold, and currency ex-
changeable for gold, now held in
reserve by the banks of this coun-
try and are issuing clearing house
certificates where currency or
gold is demanded.
1t is very simple precaution-
ary proposition and need cause
no uneasiness whatever when un-
derstood.

hat will be readily and quickly
turned into cash or credits as it
is marketed and as the crop is
sold for export, gold which has

must be returned, so that the
present precautionary measure
can only be temporary.
We are assured by the Grain Re
ceivers' association of the north
west that ample provision is be-
ing made to take care of the crop
now being harvested no matter
what export conditions may be,
and it only remains for bankers
and business men of the state to
accept the situation as it is and
conserve their cash resources for
the time being. Business con-
ditions are sound and the present
trouble which is merely an inter-
ference with established trade
and commerce will right itself as
soon as normal trade conditions
are re-established.
Our food supplies will be
needed and eagerly sought for
by the foreign countries in a very
short time. and we have every
reason to believe at such prices
as will bring handsome returns to
our producers. In the meantime
we have the assurance that our
crop movement will be financed
without hindrance and with this
credit assurance we have nothing
to fear.

body of the Aoater showed key

bore the name of Carl Radnitz of
Minneapolis. Relatives came
here and through dental work
and other means identified the
body as that of Radnitz instead
of Sexse. Radnitz had been in
Mondak, Mont, and was i'll from
blood poisoning last winter. after
which he disappeared. That he
was murdered at Mondak and
his body thrown into the river
appears certain as there was "A

The officials will now endeav-

into the river or buried, as Burns
is said not to have any money
with which he could have pur-
chased the Sexse place. 1t is also
claimed the signature on the
deed produced by Burns is not
that of Sexse. 1t is probable
that Burns will be at once re-
leased and if new evidence is
found he can be re-arrested.

Within the past week practically all European
countries have suddenly plunged into war. Authentic
and detailed information regarding the situation is diff
cult to get, owing to strict censorship of all from

or less reliable regarding developments
which, boiled down. to some of the known facts are
about as follows:
Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, England
Belgium Russia and Servia are now actually at war;
Mobilization of troops being hurried in these and 9TH
countries Reservists are holding themselves ready
for call to Reports of battles are numerous but
confirmation is lacking; undoubtedly there has been
great bloodshed. Seemingly the situation is such that

report showed law violations and
errors. but in spite of this con-
dition the accountant supplement

The committee refused to ac-
