ternoon Attorney Harry Shaw for the

was not SO well prepare IA Tor the early

tanned u A.. z Meredf fth$ to assist him
in the case as his original assistant,
Scott c. Lowe was unable to be pres
ent at this time.

show that the bank had lost no money
by the@trapsactlons4 charged in the In
dictment and that no intent to injure

proved. Shaw said. that, all the dtrec-
tors and officers of both the bank and

/ riIliant Idea
But It Wont Work

LONDON, March 2S.-The sight OF
birds pecking mortar suggested to an
Englishman a bright idea Of demolish-
ing the Krupp works. The idea was
this:
Obtain a flock OF cormorants and
train them by putting their food in
horizontal and vertical lines against
q wall. They will thus associate
these lines with Their food. Take the
birds to Essen and; liberate them.
They would then attack the great
chtmneys at, Krupp's works with such
vigor as to destroy them.
The inventor sent his plan to. tho
War Inventions board, member OF
which told the story at the Royal
institution meeting this week. II
