Tom Smith, Prop.

"Ah, very supposable; g. on" The motive of this story is repeated in the following from current magazine:
 A negro who was we'll known to the judge had been haled into court on charge of having struck relative with a brick. After the usual preliminaries the court in quired:
 "Why did you hit this man?"
 "Jedge, he called me a black ras- cal"
 "Well, you are one, aren't you?"
 "Yessah, maybe is one. But, Jedge, s'pose some one should call you a black rascal, wouldn't you hit 'em?"
 "But, I'm not one, am r."
 "Naw, sa, nav sah, you ain't one; but s'pOse some one'd call you de kind of rascal you is, what'd you do?"

bor's wood instead.

Wm. Taylor, the local jeweler, confirmed the statement of Goonen and said that the wood removed by the Commission people belonged tn him and that it was subsequently, returned.
 Wm. Rodigkeit testified to hay ing borrowed beef from the Com mission and having returned same. He said that in every case he went personally to MT. Riggs, who gave instructions to the storekeeper to loan the meat.
 MT. R. E. Burns told of having borrowed a large quantity of saw mill equipment from the Commis- sion shortly after the fire at How. ell's sawmill. MT. Pratt again ob. jected to this evidence, but the Commissioner allowed the question Grady Summerlin, former chief steward, testified to having lent meat to Mike Goonan and borrowed potatoes from him with the know. ledge and consent of the proper authorities. He spoke of conver' sation with MT. Riggs about borrow ing and lending government prop erty and said that MT. Riggs told
The Nenana daily news., 1918-06-18
him that the Commission should be

him that the Commission should be neighborly in their attitude towards the people of the town and help in case of need MT. Riggs also told him to handle all future loans through the store department. This arrangement, he said, was after wards confirmed by MT. Curtis.
 William Gilcher was called, but could not be found at the time.
 Curtis took the stand on his own behalf and practically confirmed all of the evidence previously given with regard to the loan made to Waechter Bros., of 792 pounds of meat. He said that at MT. Pratt's request, he sent a telegram to MT Riggs and received reply worded similarly to the one received by MT. Pratt. The telegram was to the effect that MT. Riggs had au- ! thorized Curtis to make loans of goods to merchants and other busi- nessmen in town, after he had been satisfied that the goods needed were unobtainable locally. He told of several conversations he had with MT. Riggs regarding these matters.
 MT. Riggs taking the stand that oW- ing to conditions existing in the North, the difficulty of obtaining supplies at will that it would be in keeping with the traditions and
 customs of the country to be neigh borly and to lend and borrow when- ever occasion demanded, but that such transactions should not be done for any personal gain or profit. He told of how the Commission had
 been obliged to borrow from the
 N. c. Go. and others, great many tons of feed to keep the Commis- sion stock from starving. A lot, of about 50 tons, of feed borrowed
 from Howell was afterwards paid for he said He did not receive, at any time, one cent of profit from any of these or other transactions He had always consulted the head of affairs before making any big loans, but went ahead with other small loans, under the authority vested in him. He did not consider himself head of the Commission at self in possession of the government
 property except in constructive sense, by reason of his being placed in charge of same He was not in
 Nenana when the second loan of
 meat was made, although he was
 aware of the fact that the loan was made He satisfied himself that proper record of such loans were kept He said he had to pay out of his pocket a sum of about forty dollars for overtime work performed by one of the store employees,
 which the government refused to
 pay; and was also out of pocket several small sums for other things. He did not make any money out

MINERAL WAX IS
 AID ID GERMANS:
 FATS ARE SHORT
Scientists Find Improved Method of Extracting Products, of Value
 to Nation.

STOCKHOLM.-T great short age of fats in Germany and the resulting necessity of using more of all edible fats for human con- sumption have driven the empires scientific men to extensive experi- mentation with so-called mineral wax" The result has been both a more varied use of this product and a greatly improved method of securing it.
 Mineral wax is substance ex- tracted from brown coal with the aid of benzine, benxol or other tech nical solvents. Benzol is now used exclusively in Germany for this pur- pose. Old methods have been un- able to extract all of the wax from the coal treated, but the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for experimental tion with coal is now winning nearly the entire quantity in the coal treated.
 The main features of it's i'm proved system consists in extracting the wax under high pressure, as much as six atmospheres, and at a high temperature. A brown coal which had produced only eleven per cent of wax under the old system gives 25 per cent under the new treatment.
 Mineral wax was used in peace times mainly for the fabrication of shoe-polish, photograph records and the insulation of electric cables. Its high percentage of sebacic acid about 60 per cent of its entire con- tent-has been turned to account in the making of consistent fats It is also being used extensively in the paper industry as sizing, taking the place of colophonium. Experiments are now being con- ducted to find a method of refining the wax and giving it lighter color.

of the government, and had alto gether about $17OO in his possession as net result of working for the government.
 Ed Cronin verified the entries made in regard to the loans of the meat to Waechter Bros.
 Curtis recalled, told of letter from Riggs to Ward, acting division engineer and in charge of affairs at the time. The letter, a signed carbon copy of which was sent to Curtis and is now on file in the store office, relaxed to the extend ing of commissary privileges to the employees of the Geological survey and the General Land office. Mir. Ward, he said, did not know of such letter.
 Waechter was again recalled and examined with reference to the en- tries of beef borrowed from the Commission and his examination disclosed the fact that the Commis- sion was getting the return of 793 pounds of meat, while their records only called for 792 pounds. He could not explain how this mistake occurred.
 MT. Pratt, in his opening remarks to the court, stated that he had taken up the case started by MT. Roth and that he did not have full knowledge of MT. Roth's scheme, /; but that he would do the best he could. He confined his remarks then to the law governing the c,se. MT. De Journel, in reply, com menced by saying that he was aware of the tactics usually adopted by MT. Roth, whom he had known for many years; but was reminded, at this juncture, by the commissioner that MT. Roth was not on trial. H. then confined his remarks to the evidence given by both the prose- cution and defense and was of the opinion that the complaint charging embezzlement was faulty in that not scintilla of evidence was pro- duced to show that there was any intent on the part of Curtis to profit by these transactions and that he had acted in gucd faith and in accordance with instructions is- sued by MT. Riggs and with the knowledge and consent of those in authority over him.
 The commissi ,ner thought that the complaint was in order, but that no evidence was heard in substantial. tion of it and accordingly dismissed the case.
 Court adjourned about midnight

IN MEMoRrAM.

The late J.. P. Rogers, president of
the United States National bank, is
deserving of more than passing mention.
All that was said in commentator of
him in the newspapers was true, and a
great deal more could be said that is
true and deserved, and as one who
knew him ever since he was a boy upon
his arrival in Salem, it gives me pleas
ure to- add a few words of tribute.
With only a fair common school edu-
cation, he made himself a well-informed
man, not only in the banking business,
but ON the general public policies OF
our country and the world at large. His
Judgment in business matters was con-
sidered sound by many and he was con-
suited by prominent men ON public and
private business affairs.
He could probably claim the record
for building up a successful national
bank in a few years, from the small
Salem State Bank which it was when he
and his associates took it over. 1t ranks
with the best in the state and his man
agement as president has never been
called in question by any of the stock
holders or the public. How did he get
the experience and technical knowledge
of the bank businesss By hard study

GERMANY RELIED
(Continued from page onel

the financial and industrial market -
On March 8, 1914, the German i'm
perial staff began the census of the ma
terial it might have at its disposal for
the war then in view, with the aid of
all inspectors of mines and factories.
Then, on June 9, came the most in
dieative order of all. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
"Twenty four hours after the receipt
of this circular, telegraph orders to the
proprietors of all industrial enterprises
TO open the sealed envelopes containing
the drawings and plans of mobilization
Indicated in the circular of the com
~nission Of Count Waldersee and Count
Caprivi of June 81, 1887"
A Campaign of Terrorism.
From the very moment it became ap-
parent that Germany could win the war
by sheer brute force of her military
supremacy, there began a second "pre-
paration" to win, if possible, by the
other German means of sabotage, revo-
luton, terrorism and corruption.
On November "a, 1914, the German
general staff inaugurated. this new
preparation" by sending a circular
to all of its military agents on the
frontiers of Russia, France, Italy and
Norway, advising them that Gin all the
branches of German banks in Sweden,
