It was stated tonight that Jacobs would probably be called by the plaintiff in its rebuttal case" Monday to deny the evidence brought out against him. It was a surprise to the defense that Jacobs was not used ia the plaintiff's ca.se in chief. Bonn'r testified that Kirby Fitz Patrick told him that if Gore wrould put Roberti-on in the United States attorney's office he and Robertson would do nothing further in the Gore matter? Bonner said that James R. Jacobs talk?d with him in the State Na tional Bank building and offered to have the Boaid charges dropped for conference was concluded Jacobs offered to tsuppress the matter for $5,000, said Bonner. 'Wai3 there anything said about vht he"d lo with the money? ask ed Attorney A. Cruee, for Senator Gore. "There was." said Bonner. "I asked him what he would do with the money. He said he and Mrs. Bond would leave the country. I ask ed him what business he would enter and b.3 said they would start a news paper. I fisked him what would be come of Bond and he said 'To h with him: he don't amount to any thing anyway.' " He said, C. I. Gilbert, local law yer and A. L. Jennings, former ban it, were in the room when Jacobs made his offer. Several character witnesses were heard before Bonner testified. Judge A. Li. Rappole, of Durani, Okla., "was asked as to Minnie Bond's general reputation while ehe lived in Caddo. Okla., in 1902. "It was bad during the later part of her residence there," he said. Rev. V. F. Dodd, of Caddo, drug gist, member of the state chemistry board, spoke of Mrs. Bond's record for chastity and virtue in 1902. (CVmtinued on Page Fifteen.) Senator Bacon First Senator Elected Under Primary Plan and Was Veteran in Period of Service in Upper House Death Brings Surprise and Grief.

Of 7,49:;; na tional banks eligible to participate in the. federal reserve system 6,S39 have formally applied for membership and two have positively declined to "come in." Of the fi52 yet to be neard from, a substantial percentage have already indicated unofficially that they will join the system and from 50 to 150 appli cations are coming in the treasury de partment daily. Only C5 trust companies have signi fied a desire to join, though there are more than 2,500 of them in the coun try. This is believed to be because most of them make' only long term leans and are not, likely to need a large sum of money in a hurry. The large percentage of state banks' a ,- dy ing is also verv small lint, this is cause several states, the same law for bids such action. When Secretary cAdoo. Secretary Houston and Comptroller of Currency Williams.

Atlanta's claims were heard yesterday. Those who appeared before the committee today represented cities in Florida. Georgia, South Carolina. Ten nessee and Alabalna. Practically all of them agreed that, a community of financial interest in these states demanded that they be included in the same reserve bank district. Ad dition of various other states was re commended by several speakers, while representatives of Birmingham insisted that South Carolina he ex cluded from the district and ite bbundaries extended westward to in clude Louisiana and northward to the Ohio river.

McCullom immediately notified the jailer and the plan was frustrated. The plan to escape was engineered by Frank A. Hand, sentenced Satur day morning to fifteen years for -iigh--ay robbery. J. E. Jax, the "wooden nosed" man, did the sawing. The saws were procured through Ola McCullom, the fifteen -year-old sister of Hilliary, who confessed that she bought the saws and did not know it was any harm. The girl was not arivested. A thorough search of the cells failed to reveal the hiding place ot the saws. A close watch is being kept on the jail.

Ninety persons were injured, some ser- iotisly tonight when a neastbound trolley car known as the East X Liberty express ran into an open -V? switch at Millvale and Liberty avenues and turned upon its side. 5j That there is bright prospect of Charlotte securing another schoo , is the latest item of interest in educa tional and realty circles for the latter is responsible for the move to secure the school. The News learns that Mr. Paul Chat ham, of Chatham Estates, has made a definite offer to Rev. A. T. Lindsay, president of Lin wood College, located at All Healing Springs, if he will move the school to Charlotte and ' -cate in on Chatham Sstates. Th- offer of Mr. Chatham, it is understood, is 20 acres of land and a bonus of a cer tain sum. The school at present is a private school. Although Mr. Lindsay, the pres ident, is a member of the A. R. P. church, the school is non-sectarian. Recently a move was made to organ ize a stock company to have control or charge of the school. The "Seceders" are splendid school masters. If Mr. Chatham can persuade the managers of Lin wood College to locate on the Estates he will have done much for Charlotte educationally. the provision which, in providing for the complete transfer of the com missioner of corporations department to the new commission, made the present commissioner, Joseph E, Davies, of Wisconsin!!, not only a member of the commission, but its chirman for a seven year term at $10,000 a year. Davieri was bitterly opposed by many democrats in the senate when he was named for his present place. Then resident had to work his pow ers of persuasion over time to get him confirmed without an open fight. And now ihat an attempt is being made to legislate him into a job for an even longer term than that of a senator, tbe opposition is growing more bitter every day. WTortl reached the white house to night that an attempt will be made to strike this provision from the bill. The president, however, will, it is understood, make a determined tight to kee pDavies, whom he likes very much in the job. in. This added greatly to the .suffer ing of the poor, as well as the men who were bent out in an effort to clear the snow that tralTic might be resumed. At Albany. X.
