churches was the work Of the devil"
Since l have been here to appear
before this commission" the clergyman
continued. II have been warned to be

ithreatened to withdraw from the case
and Justice Mccoy threatened to refuse
to hear the lawyers argument. Senator

between the bank and Lewis johnson
& Co., bankrupt stock brokers' Justice
Mccoy interrupted to say he had al
ready ruled it would be admitted and
that further argument only took time.

another counsel will argue the CASE
II the court feels that way about 1t
will withdraw from this case now"
DO as you please about that" re-
storted the Judge. "but don't make such
q remark again."
Several of the banks lawyers sur
rounded the attorney and later he said
to the court:
Il feel that owe to my clients a
duty. greater than owe myself and
therefore ! will remain"
ct also feel that I owe a duty to
your clients" said the court, "and that
Twill lead me to dismiss what you have
said from my mind"
Whereupon the argument proceeded.
The argument did not proceed, how
ever, until Justice Mccoy had, in en-
lphatic language, denounced q story in
a New York newspaper, to the effec,
that the court had ruled yesterday that
Comptroller Williams had exceeded his
Authority in flning the bank. The Judge
defined the story as q deliberate II
mot malicious misstatement," which
he said verged on contempt Of court
Mr.. Bailey contended the coYnptrol-
ler did not have power to assess that
penalty.
IL he had the power" said the law.
1yer, then we can not get satisfaction
But he is wrongfully withholding on,

Mr.. Bailey referred to Mr.. Inter

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS ] IN EUROPEAN WAR ]


 Although severe fighting has been going on in France, it has been rath- CT discounted by Russian successes against the Turks in Caucasus and against the Austrians in the Carpa- thians. In both eastern and western war theaters, the Germans have been exceedingly active. Steady progress is noted in their official statement re- garding operations in Poland and the French official bulletin reports violent German attacks in the Argonne, in the region of Verdun and around Steinbach in Alsace.
 Regarding operations in the west, a British eyewitness says that really marked progress has been achieved by the allies" He adds, however, that the German defensive is an active one."
 Berlin reports that a Turkish off, cial bulletin announces the occupation by the Ottoman troops of Urumiah, an important town of Persian Arme- mia.
 Activity by Austrian submarines, according to Berlin, has compelled the French admiral to withdraw his ships from the Strait of Otranto, at the entrance to the Adriatic sea.
 The British admiralty believes the sinking of the Formidable was due to two torpedoes fired by German sub- 
 Great Britain's preliminary reply to the American governments pro- test against delays to American con- merce is to be forwarded shortly.

TO MY FRIENDS AND PATRONS

I wish to take this method of thanking you for your patronage since I opened my new feed store on August 15 of last year. I also wish to say that I have received nice trade from you which I thank you for, and shall try in some degree to merit in the future confidence you have imposed in me in the past. Those of you who have been able to settle with me promptly each month, wish to thank and ask a continuance of your pleasant business relations. Those who could not settle with me promptly, also thank in the same hearty way and also ask a continu- ance of your business. But owing to my limited means, the present finan- cial situation, and the fact that have to pay cash for most of my feed, I will from this time ask my patrons who can to pay me cash, and those that it is not convenient to do this to settle with me promptly the first of each month, and by this means I can meet my obligations promptly and
