ROSEV|LLE BANK
FRAUD IS DENIED
BY CONTRACTORS
WestOrange Men Say Raymond
Smith Personally offered to
Back Baltimore Job.

That the Roseville Trust Company,
through Raymond e. Smith, its sec
retary treasurer, agreed to finance
their work in Baltimore, where they
were building sewer, until such
time as they received payments On it,
was the declaration of Antonio Miele
and Frank Bruno, of West Orange, m
their own defense to the charge of
conspiracy in the Court of Oyer and
Termfner today. Both asserted that
they never took cent from the bank
that they were not entitled to.
The indictment against Miele and
Bruno, who were partners in the con-
tracing business in West Orange,
charges that they conspired with
Smith to defraud the bank of ap-
proximately $4,000. Tt is probable
that the case will come to an end to-
morrow morning, the defense having
practically finished, and only rebuff
tai, summing up and the judges
charge to be put in yet.
The partners testified today that
they had a sewer contract in Balti-
more In 1913, and made an arrange
ment with Smith whereby they were
to be advanced money to meet pay
rolls and material bills until the city
paid for the work. They deposited
as collateral for the loans from the
bank a note for $4,000, check for
$4,000, a mortgage for s12,500 and
life insurance policies aggregating
$50, 900.
In Bankruptcy.
Their transactions were of a strictly
business nature, they said. and they
got nothing from the bank only what
was their due. Bruno testified that
the check books and papers of the
company were in the hands of the
Bankruptcy Court at Baltimore,
where the company was adjudged
bankrupt.
Miele had to testify through an in
terpreter. He said that he couldn't
write anything in English except his
signature.
Smith. he declared, wrote the notes
and checks which he signed and
Smith kept the memos of the stand
ing of their account. They were
never able to obtain a definite state
ment of the condition of their ac-
count from Smith, said Bruno.

took one position after another from

Tho German invasion of the Baltic
provinces of Russia, which is regard
ed lightly in Petrograd. is said in
Berlin to be an important movement,
under the personal direction of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. His aim
is believed to be the capture of
Libau and Riga, which would enable
him to harass Russian communion
tions with Petrograd
In Belgium further gains have been
made by the Germans. The official
French statement comedies that the
Germans won positions on the dis
puted Hill 60, near Ypres, and that

A REAL MUNICIPAL PROBLEM

Florida's municipalities are prob
ably more than those of other states
the victims of a drifting class of
hoboes during the winter months.
The particular class to which refer
ence is made is that which secures
from one town transportation to the
next. There are many who thus
work their way south in the fall and
north in the spring. They hunt up
the mayor when they reach a town,
put up hard luck story of heart
moving tendencies, get a ticket to
the DeXt town and so are passed
alon2. Occasionally there is a de-
serving case and the average mayor
soon becomes able to distinguish
these from the others. But if he
does not give the transportation
asked by the unworthy that undesir-
able will remain in that town at
least for time so that usually to
get rio of him the average mayor
joins in the passingalong game.
A conference of southern mayors
is to be held in Jacksonville in Jan
uary for the consideration of this
problem. If the various cities and
towns will get together upon the
matter it will soon be settled in such
a manner as to practically get rid
of the expense and nuisance. Tt
will reach a point where only the
deserving will receive attention. Or
lando is as much interested in the
problem as any other Florida city
and will be suitably represented at
the conference.-Orlando Reporter

| Mike and
His Job|
By GEORGE MUNSON
Copyright. 1915. by W. q. Chapman.)

VCopyright. 1915. by w. 9. Chapman.)
At six o'clock Mike Donahue's alarm
clock went of with bang and Mike
arose, dressed. and had his coffee,
and took the lunch which Nora put
up for him to the mill. He entered
as the whistle blew, and worked
there, except for the lunch hour, till
the whistle dismissed him at uix.
That was Mikes life, with the ex-
ception Of Sunday, when he got up to
help his wife with the washing of
dishes, and then went back to bed
again. He lay in bed all day. reading
the Sunday paper. He finished il by
night. had supper. and went to sleep
till Monday.
In appearance he was a clean old
man of sixty. He had once had those
ambitions which are supposed to be
the birthright Of every American, but
he had lost those when Ellery died.
Ellery had been the founder Of the
mill. 1t was Mike Donahue who, in
those early days, soon after the Civil
war. came from Belfast with the new
fiax-weaving process, not then in use
in the United States, and interested
Ellery. He could have had a partner
ship, but he was too simple and ignor-
ant to understand that, and Ellery
was not above turning the advantage
when the opportunity was so patent.
Mike had come to him and said
Mr. Ellery, don't know how much
this process is worth to you. but if
it's worth what it ought to be I'd look
for job in the mill for the rest of my
days"
Mike had Just married Nora Brady,
and the thought of unemployment
haunted him. Besides, there was a
baby coming. If he could secure
life position-well, what m.-e coE'd
any man hope for?
He could save dollar week even
at the start, and Ellery would certain
ly advance him And this was done.

Ellery became very rich man indeed.
The sight Of Mike, and the knowledge
Of the unfair advantage that he had
taken, haunted old Ellery. His only
son, who would inherit the MILL was a
worthless scamp. The thought that it
should have been half Mikes. that his
own son had gone to college on what
he had squeezed out of the old man.
was gall to him. He offered Mike
FIVE thousand dollars-the utmost that
his avarice would permit-if he would
leave.
Mike Donahue proved amazingly
obdurate. He liked the work. he loved
the old mill. he would not know what
to do with himself IL he left. He re-
fused the offer-and then Ellery died.
Jim Ellery's first act was to dis
charge the old employee. When Mike.
