BILLY LORLMERS GOOD PAL, CHARLIE DAWES,
NAMED IN BANK WRECK TRIAL

holder and director, may be named
before the Munday trial is over.
Hogan said:
"At the time of the opening of the
national Lorimer) bank, promi-
nent Chicago banker had agreed to
enter the institution.
"On the day the bank opened for
business, there was printed an alleg-
ed confession of Charles A. White, a
member of the state legislature.
White said he had received $1,000 to
vote for Lorimer as senator. From
that time on, Lorimer and his asso-
ciates were bounded by the newspa-
pers and powerful interests of Chi
cago.
When the White story appeared
the prominent banker backed down"

banks, more ana more OF Inen, VIII
be uncovered before the criminal
trials of Billy Lorimer and Charlie
Munday are over. One secret after
another is to be let out slowly. How
far Munday and Lorimer will go in
throwing the spotlight on accepted
and respectable fnanciers like Chas.
G. Dawes is yet to be seem.
1t was only starter yesterday
when John E. Hogan, attorney for
Munday, in the trial at Morris,
brought out the fact that Charles G.
Dawes, comptroller of the U. S. treas
ury under President Mckinley, presi-
dent of the Central Trust Co., was in
reality friend and pal of Billy Lori
mer when it came to the banking
game. Of the deal in which Dawes
trust company loaned 81, 100000 cash
to ten note makers of the Lorimer
bank for a few minutes while the
state bank examiner was in town,
Hogan said:
ct was carried on under the eyes
and with the knowledge of Mr.. Chas.
G. Dawes, former comptroller of the
treasury"
There was clash among the law
yers then as to whether it was w. r.
Dawes, a brother of Charlie, who
handled the cash in the deal. Who
ever it was, criminal offense was
probably carried on under the roof of
the Central Trust Co. and somebody
would have been indicted for it if the
statute of limitations had not run.
Asst States Atty Edwin G. Raber
stated:
1--WE might have indicted him (W.
R. Dawes) except for the fact that
his part in the conspiracy ended right
there and the statute of limitations
had run against that particular Incl
dent, so far as he was concerned. 1t
is quite possible, moreover, that Mr..
Dawes was a victim of that conspi-
racy, not party to it.

Band EntertainS
With Sweet Strains

Although the weather had been
threatening and some blustery dur
ing the afternoon, i'll the evening il
was better and there was a big crowo
on the street to hear the band play.
For better acoustic purposes and
to protect the musicians from the
threatened breeze, the bandstand was
set up on the west side Of the street,
opposite the postoffice, and promptly
at 8 o'clock the music started.
The walks were we'll lined with
people and many autos occupied the
street. The front steps of the post
office were made to serve as an audi
torium ;sid were crowded with
women and children to listen to the
sweet strains. 1t made a pretty
sight.
The several numbers as rendered
by the band were heartily applauded
by the assemblage. The concert last
ed just one hour.

Be There Sure
On Monday Night

The meeting OF the committee on
Fourth of July celebration last even
ing was not what might De termed a
bowling success. The counter at
traction Of the band concert served
as an excuse to keep some members
away and others, members of import
ant committees, had business out Of
town.
At the close of the concert, how
ever, the hall was lighted and quite
number of ladies who had been IN
vited to attend, appeared to lend aid
by their presence and to offer sug-
gcstions as TO how best to conduct
the celebration.
The meeting last night was to have
been one of the most important OF
the whole celebration, for the COM
mittees were to report on how much
money they each and collectively
wanted to carry out their ideas OF z
celebration and the committee on
finance was then to have had basis
on which to work.
Several of their committees were
ready to report, and their members
were present with schemes carrying
with them very heavy expense, and
ali of the schemes have the merit oi
practicability and are calculated .
add to the attractiveness of the cele-
bration.
Owing to the small attendance
however. it was deemed advisable not
t. try to do any business, and after
short general and informal chat
it was decided to adjourn till Mon
day evening at 7:30, when full al
tendance is hoped for.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2o.-Thc
Robert Dxflar company's steamer
Mackinaw, after wirelessing last
night that she was afire and in dis
tress, was located this morning drift
ing five miles off Motara, twenty
three miles south of San Francisco.
The steamers Beaver and Klamath
and the revenue cutter Mccullough
are enroute to aid and give tow to
the steamer. The Mackinaw's cap
tain wirelessed the Dollar company
after the first distress calls that it
would be impossible to send further
messages because of lack of power.
The steamer drifted throughout the
night, part of the crew taking to the
small boats. A pilot boat later res
cued them. The cause of the fire is
but it is not believed seri-
