Judge Zed S. Stanton in Washington

the direct charge being that the defend

The case goes to the Supreme Court

allowed 20 go on the same bail that he
furnished before. namely. 5000, secured
by himself and Frank Plumley.
When the court was ready to take up
the matter to-day the respondent filed
two motions, both Of which were over

the case presented so many complications
that the jury was unable to grasp all Of
them and return a verdict as shown by

ONLY ONE MORE
BIG LOAN DRIVE

Washington. Jan. 1s.--Only one more
| big war loan drive is planned by the
treasury department, Secretary Glass
said to-day. This will be the Victory
Liberty Loan, to be floated probably the
last three weeks in April. The amount
will not be more than Sc 900, 10000 and
may be $1,000, 100000
"I expect the Victory Liberty Loan to
be the last intensive campaign for the
sale Of government bonds" said Mr..
Glass. reports that there would be
two more bond issues this year aggregat-
ing s12, 900 100000 are entirely without
foundation not only as to the amount.
but also as regards the number of cam
paigns."
More bonds probably will be issued by
the government even after the next cam
paign. but it is planned to market these
quietly through banks and other nnan-
cial institutions. without the usual cam
paign of advertising and soliciting The
amount of securities to be sold in this
manner will not be determined for
months, until the treasury gets more
definite idea of the volume Of expenses
growing out of liquidation of war con-
tracts, the allies needs for further loans.
and the demands arising from the con-
tinulng the pOllCN OF making loans 10
railroads, financing the next wheat crop,
Z 1tinuing ship building and other in
ternal obligations.
The misrepresentation regarding the
number and amount of remaining loans
may arise, treasury officials explained
to-day, over the fact that the treasury
had planned to float two loan issues
aggregatng about 81, 600 600 this fiscal

however, and ends next June 80, and the
Fourth Liberty Loan of nearly s700O,o00,
ocO already has been loated in that
period.
Most treasury officials believe that the
terms of the fifth, or Victory Loan. will
have to be made more attractive than
those of the past. either by raising the
interest rate above four and a quarter
Der cent. or by some other means.
