RHODES. FACES
Two NEW BANK
Perjury Bills Send
Accusations to 30

Indictments against Fred B.
Rhodes, prominent attorney and
former president of the Fidelity
Building and Loan Association
that closed its doors last year,
mounted to 80 today as the Grand
Jury reported two new true bills,
charging him with perjury.
The two new indictments, out
growths of the failure of the build
ing loan concern, accuse the bank
er-lawyer Of having sworn to false
reports of the banks condition in
statements to the Comptroller Of
the Currency.
MANY CHARGES INVOLVED
Rhodes is charged in the first
indictment with having falsely
varified a report regarding the
banks condition for the six-month
period ending June 30, 1885, and
the second is based on similar
report for the period ending De-
cember 81, 1885.
In the first report, he is said
to have claimed that deposits,
which included installment dues,
aggregated 862.655.O2, when
the actual figure. Treasury audi
tors say, should have been ST.
951, 10000. He also is charged with
having reported the undivided sur
plus and profit to be $27, 190.61
instead of the $61,344.46 deficit
found at the time.
The second Indictment accuses
Rhodes Of having reported install
ment dues totaling $2,980,742 .99
instead of $3,065, 380.54 and with
claiming surplus of $77,776.35
instead Of a deficit of $10,861. 20.
RESIGNED UNDER FIRE
Rhodes resigned as president in
February, 1886, and on July 10
was arrested by Department of
Justice agents and the institution
closed.
Twenty larceny and four forgery
indictments were placed against
Rhodes shortly after his arrest.
Later four additional forgery
charges brought the total to %
true bills. One indictment was
tried twice during the winter and
spring, but the jury could not
agree and was discharged.

HoNGKoNG, Sept. 20 d.N.sJ.
Japanese bombing planes raided
the huge Chinese port of Canton
twice again today, but heavily
populated civilian centers evident
ly were spared the terror visited
upon them last week.
In the first raid, at noon, the
Whampoa military establishment
was damaged and the Chinese
sloop Shuwah disabled. There were
several casualties. In the second
raid, at 4 p. M, the Canton-Han-
kow Railroad was damaged.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 20 G.N.S).
The United States cruiser Au'
gusta, at anchor off Shanghai,
was endangered today by a spec
tacular Chinese attempt to blow
the japanese flagship Idzumo out
of the Whangpoo River.
The Chinese effort missed its
mark and neither vessel was dam
aged, but the mine, which had
been meant to blow the Idzumo
to bits, exploded with blast that
shook the city from end to end.
The defamation signalled the be-
ginning Of new battle that i'm
periled residents Of the foreign sec
ton.
BLAST LAID TO MINE
japanese authorities issued a
commul,.que stating the explosion
was csuSed by a mine detonated
from the shore in an effort to
wreck the Japanese flagship,
which repeatedly has bombarded
native quarters Of Shanghai, but
has escaped damage itself.
The Augusta, flagship Of Ad-
miral Harry E. Yarnell, comman-
der of the United States Asiatic
fleet, was anchored near the
Idzumo.
A series of violent explosions
marked the renewed hoStilities,
imperiling Americans and other
foreigners along the northern
fringes of the international settle
ment.
NIPPON CLAIMS DENIED
Japanese claim their troops had
occupied Liuhang. 10 miles north
west Of Shanghai, were denied by
Chinese officials.
With the Japanese apparently
preparing for their grand Of.

British consulate publicly warned

Brazil nuts, now in season all year
around, have made place for them
selves in the daily meal plan. Gone are
the days when this fat brown shelled nut
made it's appearance but once year to
adorn the Christmas table.
Nor is the Brazil nut still confined to
the nut cup and chocolate bar, the cookie
and fancy dessert Housewives have
learned that the creamy texture and
pleasing flavor of the Brazil nut may be
used to add distinction to many dishes
that appear on every day menus. The
Brazil nut has been introduced into the
field of vegetable and cereal cookery,
with the result that many palatable
dishes have been created to increase the
popularity Of these oft served foods.
The tempting dish at your right is rice
in a new disguise-Cooked to fiaky
tenderness, combined with beaten egg,
grated cheese, and chopped Brazil nuts,
expertly seasoned, rolled into croquettes
and fried to-a golden brown rice becomes
dish fit for king.

Around the House and III the Garden
Autumn Gardening

The approach of autumn brings
touch of sadness to the hearts of the
thousands of true gardeners the country
over, for it means that soon those daily
trips to the garden for baskets of vege-
tables and bouquets of flowers will be at
an end
If they know their hobby, however,
these same people will now be busy at
numerous garden tasks. Among other
things, they'll not fail to continue picking
the annual flowers regularly, for many
of them. particularly the calendula,
bachelors button, pansy, marigold and
snapdragon, will continue blooming right
through several light frosts, if properly
cared for
They will be sure, once cold weather
has definitely arrived, to clear the garden
of all old, dead plants. They often harbor
insects and fungus growths which may
survive the winter if not destroyed. Gar
den rubbish should not be spaded under.
but gathered up and burned.
Many gardeners who are reluctant to
let the frost kill some of their choicest
annual flowers have had real success in
taking up the plants, potting them, and
allowing them to continue growth for
several weeks in the house. This practice
is suggested OH the basis of tests con-
Quoted at the Ferry Morse Seed Breeding
Institute which reveal that the following
flowers survive best indoors: Ageratum,
begonia, calendula, carnation, coleus,
pinks, lobelia, dwarf marigold, pansy,
petunIa and snapdragon
True gardeners are also making plans
now for their next springs showing of
bulb flowers. Proper planting is vital to
successful bulb flower growing. Depth
must be carefully measured. Anemone
should be planted one inch deep; snow
drop and SELL, two inches deep; jonquil
and tulip, three inches; hyacinth, four,
and most lilies. FIVE inches. In measuring
depth, measure from the top of the
bulb. For instance, have the tip of the
hyacinth bulb u1deY four inches of soil.
Bulbs are planted in the fall to give
them opportunity to develop ample root
growth. It is the safer practice to protect
bulbs in the ground with a mulch of
leaves or straw, applied after the ground
is frozen hard. 1t is intended to protect
the bulbs from the damage of alternate
freezing and thawing, not from the cold.
Bulbs should be planted in well-drained
loan. Soil should be pressed around them
so there are no air spaces. 1t always pays
to buy bulbs of fine quality. Good, healthy
bulbs are firm and comparatively heavy
for their size.
