bundled or placed in the prescribed
containers and set out on the side

DAYS of the various districts. Peo-
pie should be careful to insure that
all waste paper, and similar articles,
intended for the attention of The rub
hish collectors. should be securely
tied together. so that wind or weather
may not scatter II all over the streets.
The Street and Sewer Department
is going to take care of streets and
public alleys which come under its
jurisdiction. but this does net mean
that they should be expected to cican
up every small alleyway between
houses. or which is in the joint ser
vice of a row of fouses. That Is up
20 the residents who use the alleys,
and should be kiYen careful attention
Disease breeders. whether they
come properly under the classidca
ton of dirt or rubbish should be re-
moved and turned over TO the ASH

 IN OPEN COURT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 CHICAGO, March 14.-William Lor- inner, whose seat in the United States senate was declared vacant on the grounds that it was the result of a po- ltcal crime, listened today to recital of his alleged financial crimes.
 The recital was by William H. Holly assistant states attorney, who told a jury in Judge Dever's branch of the criminal court that the defendant was charged with conspiracy and embezZle- ment in connection with the failure of the La Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank in Chicago two years ago.
 Mir. Lorimer remained imperturable throughout the denunciation. He ap- peared little changed since the days when Illinois called him the blond boss" and a legislature alleged to have been corrupted sent him to the upper house at Washington.
 Mir Holly said that testimony which was not adduced at the trial of C. B. Munday, senior vice president of the bank, who was convicted on similar charges, would be introduced during the present hearing.
 Lorimer's defense, it is said would he based largely on the contention that Mr. Lorimer although president of the institution, trusted the business to MT Munday and was absent much of the time.
 Mir. Holly said that two months af- ter the formation of the bank, Alder man Michael kenna, ("Hinkey Dink'' of the First ward, political partner ot Alderman Penthouse" John Coughlin was appealed to do his banking with the Lorimer- Munday house.
 The appeal for Kenna's business Mir Holly said was based largely, on the statement that the bank was not z member of the Clearing House Associ- ;ition, and that, consequently, the fi- nancial affairs of it's customers were absolutely secret.
 Mir. Lorimer started the La Sallt Street National Bank in 1910 when ht was in the United States senate. MT Holly stated.
 We shall contend" said MT. Holly that Mir. Lorimer was in position {, influence the national bank examiner There was large amount of bad pa. per in the bank The owners were DO litical friends of the then senator Banl officials made no effort to get rid O this paper, but instead the banl changed it's charter from the nationa to the state form, and became the Ls Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank.

mittee of parliament into the trans actions of the shell commission.
 MT. Pugsley asserted that the shell commission appointed by the Canadian minister of militia fixed excessive and unreasonable prices for shells and oth- CT munitions and goods to be furnished
 the British government, and that the
 prices were fixed without competition and were far in excess of what would
 have been paid if ordinary business methods had been pursued. He charges
 that orders were given to companies in which members of the shell commits
 sion were largely interested and in
 some cases were the directing heads. there had been unnecessary and unfOr- tunate delay he declared, in the deliv- cry of fuses for which orders were placed in the United States by the shell commission through the agency of pri vate individuals to the amount of $22,-
 100000
 |, MT. Pugsley charged also that the Canadian minister of militia improp- proper methods of the shell commis- sion and permitted them to continue l though having power to put an end to them at any time.
 The reply of the government was
 made by Solicitor General Meighan who refused to grant the investigation on the ground that the charges of MT l Bagsley were too vague and that il
 would not be in the public interest tC have the investigation conducted dur 1 ing the progress of the war. MT. Mei- ghan said the British government fixed
 the maximum price which the Cana { dian shell commission could allow and
 added that the prices paid in Canada
 and the United States were below those paid shell and fuse manufacturers ir Great Britain,

 Although steps were taken today in the formation of a home guard and a tabulation of the arms and ammunition in possession of citizens of NOgales was begun, both towns were tranquil tonight and the ex- citement existing in other border towns between Nogales and Fl Paso did not prevail here in any large measure.
 The reciprocal offer to permit Car ranza troops to cross the American border has done much. it was said, to allay fears. Members of the Car ranza garrison on the Mexican side today strolled through the streets others visited friends on this side of the street which marks the bound ary.

A detachment of the Twelfth infantry reported that it was based on the fact that fifteen heavily armed Yaqui Indians were making their way peaceably from Tucson to the border, as it is the annual custom of members of the tribe to come to Arizona for supplies.
 Colonel Sage has established a spe- cies of censorship on news concern ing troop movements to guard mili- tary plans. However, it is known that a part of the First cavalry from Monterey, Cal. is expected here to- night to relieve Troop M of the Tenth cavalry, which it is said will leave shortly to join the expeditionary force being organized at Columbus, N. M. Twenty-one Americans arrived here tonight from Guaymas, Hermosillo Magdalena, and other point along the west line of the Southern Pacific railroad of Mexico. Most of them , said that they were leaving Mexico as matter of precautiOn rather , than because of any unpleasant or l threatening experiences.
 l A number of the party were em- ployes of the Creston- Colorado gold mining company which operates a property west of Guaymas employing fifteen hundred men. The company

Meanwhile the censorship over move ments on the border was drawn tighter and few messages relating to troop movements were allowed to filter out either there or here. It is understood the department has cautioned General Funston against too full publication of his plans or of the purpose behind or ders to various units of his force.
