London Bank Observes
Venerable Customs

London.-The bank in which Samuel
Pepys kept an account-which remain
ed overdrawn when he died-has just
celebrated its 250th anniversary. 1t IS
one of the three oldest banks in Lon
don,and goes by the name of Messrs.
Hoare and Company. Since the be-
ginning it has been ruled by the Hoare
family, eldest son succeeding eldest
son as head of the firm.
Time has not changed many of the
customs begun by the founders. To
this day member of the house of
Hoare sleeps every night in one Of the
quiet bedrooms overlooking peace
full garden in the rear Of the banking
house, which is in Fleet street. Every
morning at nine o'clock he unlocks the
big front door with hugh key. This
tradition began in the seventeenth
century. In those days coaches could
not be depended upon to get one down
to business on time, so one of the part
ners was assigned to sleep at the bank.
In the old days leather blackjack
hung outside the door, the bank being
at the sign of aye Olde Leather Bot
tell" The blackjack is still part of
the bank, and so is fine old Georgian
stove, and quill pens. Adding machines
have not noised their way into the
business.
In the rear is a parlor said to be
built on the site of DR.. Johnson's
Mitre Tavern. Under the carpet is a
hole through which wine barrels used
to be lowered into the vaults, now pill
ed with deed and plate boxes.
A staircase leads to handsome family
apartments, where every day the part
ners still lunch around cleaning ma
hogany table, using an old sand sprink-
Ter for pepper pot. A wafer-holder
serves as a mustard jar. The chairs
about the table were made by Chip
pendale especially for the room, and
around the walls hang portraits of the
generations of eldest sons who have
ruled the bank.
Pepy's account is to be seen in The
earlier of the surviving ledgers. It
records that he deposited 200 pounds
in 1680-long after the diary stops.
Pepys soon overdrew the account by 13
pounds, and it never thereafter balanc-
ed. Later, Cromwell did business at the
Bank, but his account did not slip in
to the red

prepared for burial in keeping with
the wishes set out in the death letter
and plans are being made to hold the
funeral services at Union Grove as
requested.
No formal inquest was held neces-
sary by the coroner, as it was clearly
a case of suicide caused by despond-
ency over i'll health.
The deceased was widely Known in
the town of Paris where he had lived
the greater part of his life. He had
been a prosperous farmer there and
although he had lived rather retired
life had made many friends in the
community.

RUSSIA WARS
ON MOONSHINE
Special Rewards Are Offered to Of
ficers for the Discovery of
MOonshine Plants.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

Nby Associated freSS Leased Wlre.l
Moscow - The Russian government
has declared war on bootleggers and
manufacturers of illicit "hooch" and
che campaign is duplicating in many
scenes the situation in New York and
other American cities.
The sale of wines and beers is legal
in Russia, but the Soviet regime has
continued the war policy established
early in 1915, of banning Vodka and
other strong intoxicants. These are
now being made in huge quantities and
nearly every one of Moscow Reich has
private source of supply.
During the last three months of
1929, according to statistics furnished
the correspondent by the Moscow au-
thorities, the police made 5,S07 house
searches and discovered nearly 5000
private stills. Evidence obtained even
indicated that there were "vodka
trusts" or combinations OF capital to
produce the liquor in large quantities.
Restaurants have been raided and
quantities of brandies and high pow
err spirits seized while in some in
stances patrons bringing their own"
have been arrested.
Special rewards are made to police
men for discovering stills. Heavy pris-
on sentences or expulsion from Mos
cow are the penalties applied to vio-
lators of the law. A new decree makes
The chairman of each house committee
responsible for preservation of the
anti-vodka law in each apartment
building.

UNITED STATES NOT
PARTY TO TREATY
Bonar Law Holds 1t Improper to Ask
This Country to Interfere in
Ruhr Middle.
az Associated Press Leased Wirel

London, Eng. - Prime Minister
Bonar Law stated in the House Of
Commons today that it would not be
proper for Great Britain to initiate
discussion with the American gov
eminent as to whether the French &C
ton in the Ruhr was in accordance
with the treaty Of Versailles, since
the United States was not a party to
the treaty.
The premier's statement was in
answer to question by j. C. Wedg-
wood, laborite, whether Great Britain
would ascertain the views of the Unit.
ed States on the subject for the pur-
pose of adopting common policy
Seeing that the action of France IN
occupying the Ruhr without the CO.
operation of the Allies is hardly in
accordance with their legitimate pow
ers under the Versailles treaty and
in view of the expressed opinions Of
Senator Borah."

BURKE WINS AT
LAST MOMENT
Granted Stay Until March
Is After Frenied Hear
ing in Court.
TO COMPLETE APPEAL
Mandate Making Sentence Eff
fective Immediately
Is Recalled

Fighting a desperate battle against
time, Attorney Walter M. Burke, of
Kenosha, under a sentence of five
years at the federal penitentiary at
TT. Leavenworth and a fine of $14,500,
won last moment reprieve on Mon
day afternoon in the circuit court of
appeals in Chicago when the mandate,
issued on last Saturday making his
sentence effective instanter, was re-
called and he was granted until March
18th to complete his appeal to the
United States supreme court The
incident marked one of the most tense
moments in the long fight which the
Kenoshan has waged against the pris-
on sentence as the stay was granted
just in time to halt the serving of an
order of commitment to prison.
Bearing certified copy of the CO.
veted stay, Mr.. Burke returned to Ke-
nosha late Monday evening. This
morning he hurried to Milwaukee to
present to the court there the stay
granted him by the circuit court Of
appeals.
Fought Against Time.
Burke went to Chicago Monday
morning to stage last frantic legal
battle to stave off the serving of the
prison sentence. He knew that be-
fore the day was over in keeping with
the mandate issued on Saturday, he
would be expected to report to fed
eral officials in Milwaukee unless a
new stay was granted.
Some intimation had been given that
hearing would be allowed him on
Monday morning at ten o'clock. When
he reached the court, he found that
the judge who had heard the Satur-
day proceedings was absent for the
day and there was no opportunity Of
renewing the fight before him. The
court docket was crowded but he was
promised hearing at two o'clock.
While he had received no official
summons to Milwaukee, it was certain
that he must leave Chicago not later
than four o'clock if he arrived in that
city in time to answer the mandate
Consequently his hearing must be
completed and stay gained before
that time.
Granted Just in Time.
Finally after two o'clock the adj
journed hearing was called before
Judges A1schuler and Page. On mo-
ton for counsel for plaintiff in error
after a hearing it was ordered by the
court that the mandate heretofore is
sued be recalled. The stay came just
in time-an hour later might have
been too late.
The stay was granted to allow Burke
to complete the appeal which he has
filed before the supreme court. 1t
is anticipated that an additional stay
will be sought pending the outcome
of the appeal before the United States
supreme court.
At least Burke has gained another
breathing spell" in which to continue
his fight Tor freedom.

MORE SUITS IN
RUSSELL TANGLE
William Hinrichs and A. M.
Russell Named i'm New
Suits Now Filed.
CHARGES NOT NAMED

Out of the tangled affairs of the
Russell company came two more law
cases today when it became known
that new suit asking for $5,050.15
had been filed against A. M. Russell,
former president of the Russell COM
pany, by w. G. Miner, present presi-
dent Of the company, and that William
Hinrichs, treasurer of the Whittier
company had been summoned to ap-
pear in court within twenty days to
answer the summons of The Russell
company. The nature Of the complaint
to be made against MIR. Hinrichs was
not made public in the summons.
These suits come, as the second step
in the legal fight which the Russell
company has started against former
officials and others connected with the
management of the affairs of the COM
pany before its reorganization. On
Saturday A. M. Russell was arrested
on five warrants of embezzlement
sworn out by Harold I. Chayes, di-
rector Of the company.
The suit brought against Russell to-
day by w. C. Minor is largely for
money which the plaintiff alleges was
borrowed from him at various times
during the past year. The complaint
stipulates that $3,55O.15 of the amount
claimed is for money which Minor
loaned to Russell out of his private
funds and for which he has no notes.
He claims, however, to have the can
celled checks as an evidence of the
transactions.
The remainder of the sum named is
alleged to be due to Minor on the
purchase of a Franklin sedan, which
Minor alleged he sold to Russell on an
agreement that $S,100 in cash or $4,000
in stock Of the company would be paid
him for the car. He declares that
after using it for several months the
car was returned and he was not COM
pensated for the use Of the car. He
asks for $1,000 for this reason.
The summons for Hinrichs to appear
in court gave no intimation of the
nature of the charges which would be
lodged against him. A notice of re-
tainer and demand for copy of the
complaint was served this morning by
Hinrich's attorneys upon the attorney
Of the Russell company. 1t is anti
cipated that copy of the complaint
setting forth the specific charges made
against Hinrichs will be filed in the
near future.

DEMOCRATS TO
SAVE STATE
Meeting to be Held in Mil
Waukee Saturday to
Outline Fight.
KEARNEY ISSUES CALL
(By Associated Press)

= Madison, Wis. -. Sounding the plea
that Wisconsin must either "turn to
the old democracy or go to Socialism"
the Democratic party in the state to-
day called gathering of its political
adherent to be held in Milwaukee,
February ID.
Now is the moment, now the hour,
now the day, when Democrats should
come to the defense of the state" a
special committee composed of Thorn
as M. Kearney, Martin L. Lueck,
Joseph Martin, Hubert o. Wolfe and
H. A. Moehlenpah, declared in it's call
to democracy. "The time is here when
the party must either admit its i'm
potency or assert its power" the
committee added.
Democrats are asked whether they
shall "turn away from the ideals of
the fathers of the republic and con-
tribute through indifference, to the
continuation of the conditions of alb
solute political chaos now existing in
this state"
Would Not Wreck Business.
"Shall Democrats join the wreckers
of business the destroyers of peace
full relations, the teachers of Hatred
and class prejudices, or shall they
lend the fullest measure of power to
protect the interests of the state, to
protect its magnificent industries, it's
farmers, it's wage earners, it's homes,
all that is dear to the people, from
total destruction through the malad-
ministration of the state government"
the call asked
IF the Democrats of Wisconsin
cannot save the state from these
threatening dangers" it adds, ''then
the state stands defenseless. Those
in power are killing every interest by
reckless, unnecessary, extravagant
taxation; by imposing government by
boards, bureaus and commissions
which give political employment for
political purposes to great army
of unnecessary time servers.
"The Republican party, as repre-
sented or misrepresented by the ma
chine dominated element now in pow
er, is helpless. The state must turn
to the old democracy to turn to So
cialism. 1t is inevitable. The time is
here and now-appealing to our patri-
otism, to our loyalty to the old creed
of democracy-when we must either
admit our impotency or assert our
power"

REMINGTON SLAIN
WITH OWN SHOTGUN
Shotgun Was Only Article Not Recov-
cred When Office Was Ransacked
by Burglars.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles, Cal. - Earle Reming-
ton, electrical engineer may have been
slain with his own shotgun, according
to declarations by police detectives
today.
That announcement came after the
discovery that sixteen guage double
barreled shotgun was the only article
stolen and not recovered when his Of
fees we're entered presumably by burg
lars several weeks ago.
The autopsy surgeon testified at the
inquest yesterday that Remington's
death came when his heart was pierced
by shot from gun similar to that
stolen although he also was stabbed
The police said Remington had
number of revolvers and shotguns in
both his office and residence, as he and
Mrs. Remington were both expert trap
shooters, but they were unable to find
any Of them.
Mrs. Remington has been stricken
with bronchial pneumonia according to
her physicians and so the police have
abandoned temporarily their plans to
question her, they said.

SCHOOL GRIZZLIES
AT DEATHS DOOR
Louis Feldschau is Arrest.
ed on Statutory Charge
in Connection.
HE BLAMES SELF ONLY
He Declares Girl Innocent. but
Counsel Says mot Guilty"
to the Charge.
HE BLAMES SELF ONLY

A schoolgirl of fifteen years OF age
is named in the charges of statutory
nature placed against Louis Feldschau,
who was arraigned in the municipal
court this morning following his ar
rest late Friday afternoon at Wauke-
gan, Ill. Feldschau, through his attor-
ney, Roy S. Stephenson, waived read
ing of the information and entered a
plea of not guilty. Bonds were fixed
at $4,000 and furnished for appearance
at preliminary hearing February 9th.
There have been so many cases of
the same nature within the last eight
months that persons about the court
this morning commented upon the fact,
declaring that it seemed as if there
was virtually an epidemic" Young
girls seem to be surrounded with more
peril or less guardianship than form
erly, if the incidents that have been
brought to public notice are any criter-
ion, according to observers.
Declares Girl All Right.
Feldschau, who is a Kenoshan and %
years old and newspaper pressman
employed at Waukegan, made no effort
to cover to the police when he was
arrested his responsibility in the affair.
The young girl, Mildred Alberts, 416
South street, Kenosha, named Field
schau as her lover, as she lay Friday
in critical condition at hospital in
Waukegan, suffering from the effects
of an alleged illegal operation, for
which it is claimed Feldschau made the
arrangements.
The police said that when arrested at
Waukegan, Feldschau admitted that he
had been the young girls lover and
took the blame for the developments
that had followed. Contrary to the
practice followed by many men when
they are caught in the tolls Of the law
following an affair, he made no effort
to shield himself by throwing insinua-
tions at the girl, but on the contrary
insisted upon her character and worth.
"She is good straight girl" de-
clared Feldschau, "and cared and still
care for her, and I'm sorry for all this
that has happened"
Counsel Secured for Him.
Were it not for the dangerous condi-
ton which the girl is said to be in,
another solution might have been
found for the affair. The most serious
statutory charge has not been placed
against Feldschau, but the charge on
which he is held is grave enough. It
is expected that the young schoolgirl
will be removed to her home in Keno
sha from the hospital today or tomor-
row. Ee#8 %RgfS8#s%gS
That charges may be placed against
the practitioner in Waukegan alleged
to have performed the operation upon
the girl, is another angle which may
develop from the case, but this is one
for the Waukegan authorities to han
die. The Kenosha police expect how
ever that this matter will be taken up
there.
While young Feldschauj entered the
court room white visaged this morning
and in a state Of mind in which his
conscience smote him, his friends and
family had secured counsel for him and
the attorney indicated that the defense
would avail itself of the right to a
preliminary.
