Receiver Earle after conference with the directors of the trust com pany, issued a statement announcing that he hopes soon to re-open the doors of the bank and that ail de positors will be protected. Held in Heavy Bail. The preliminary hearing of Adolf Scal, the promoter; Win. F. North, treasurer, and Marshall S. Colling wood, assistant treasure', of the Real Estate Trut Company, took place and the three were hld in heavy bail for trial. The evidence presented through witnesses by District Attorney Bell at the hearing of Segal, North and, Cpllingwood disclosed' the methods, by which Segal and Hippie wrecked the trust company. How Wreckers Worked. The most damaging testimony was to the effect that both Hippie and Segal had repeatedly overdrawn their accounts with the knowledge of the treasurer and assistant treasurer. These overdrafts were carried as cash accounts. On the day Hippie died there was an overdraft of $64, 000 against the president which was converted by Collingwood into a loan showing Hippie's account to be ap parently straight. These overdrafts of Hippie and Segalat times amount ed to more than $800,000. There was on deposit in the bank approxi mately $7,000,000 and the loans made to Segal amounted to $5,309,200. Many of the securities w7hich have since been found to be insufficient were bonds and stocks of the Segal enterprises and weer approved per sonally by Hippie. Although Receiver Earle appears hopeful of opening the bank at an early date, many of the creditors ex press some doubts as to his ability to do so. Many depositors who placed money in the bank on Monday and Tuesday after the directors knew that it was insolvent were allowed to withdraw their deposits. TABLET UNVEILED FOR "PEACE DAY."

H., SpecialThe treaty of Portsmouth which ended the war between Japan and Russia was signed here a year ago Thursday at 3.47 o'clock in the afternoon and at the same hour today a tablet was .uneviled to perpetuate the memory of the event. The day was observed as "Peace Day" by the ringing of all the bells of the. city at sunrise, noon and sunset.

SHAW ON POLITICS Secretary Discusses Republi can Principles BELIEVES IN RECIPROCAL TRADE Principles of the Republican Party and Pertinent Topics Discussed A Strong Speech. Salisbury, N. C, Special. Secre tary Shaw called the Salisbury audi ence small, but probably a thousand ! voters heard him. He arrived on No. 29, thirty minutes late. He was met by the HanfordVXorrTet Band, and as he entered the court house it played "Dixie." The pacific temperament of the speech made the song peculiar ly appropriate." Secretary Slmv said in part: "Our political oponents lay much stress on the fact that some American manufacturers are sold abroad cheap er than at home. That the practice prevails to some extent all must ad mit, but that it does not prevail gen erally or to any considerable extent is easily established. A nonpartisan industrial commission was appointed by Congress in 1898, which, after spending more than three years in the investigation, 'filed its report in. 1902, which was published in 18 largo volumes. This report contains all available evidence on this subject. After making careful compilations from the data therein contained, Sen ator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, stated on the floor of the United States Senate, in April, 1904, that ap proximately $1,000,000 worth of Am erican manufactured products are annually sold abroad cheaper than in our own domestic market. No one has ever attempted to disprove Sen ator Gallinger 's conclusions, though our political opponents continue to speak of the practice as well-night universal. . This $4,000,000 worth can be far more than acounted for it is quite likely the estimate is too low. "The Republican party from the time of its birth until now has pro tected the laborer who produces for the American market in every way possible for man to conceive. Repub lican legislation excludes Chinese la bor primarily because the Chinaman refuses to live on the American stand ard. The colie laborer is unpopular largely because of his inexpensive habits. He neither feeds himself, clothes himself nor bouses his family as do Americans. Living on a lower plane, he can of coui-se afford to work cheaper than American, and his pres ence is a menace, not so much to American morals as to American la bor. To the extent that he secures his pro rata share of American wages and fails to contribute proportionate ly to the consumptive capacity of the country his presence is undesirable. The Republican party therefore say to him: "Unless you consent to be an American consumer you shall not be an American producer. You shall be an American in both respects or in neither. " The greater part of the secretary's speech was devoted to an intelligent discussion of the tariff, with his views upon the co-related principles of reciprocity, rebates, drawbacks, etc. The speech was free from sen sational abuse, was calm and dignified an drew the close attention of those eo- y nm- Steamship is in Distress.

Bryan returned to his home and the "home folks',' welcomed . him with i every evidence of approval and sat isfaction. It was a neighborly wel come, planned as such, and carried out as planned. It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd than that which came to the city on Wednesday. It was a half-holiday in the city and ev ery train f rom over the State ar- rived loaded down, bringing not only Nebraskan people, but many from near-by States. The city was handsomely decorat ed. The non-partisan nature of the reception was emphasized -in every way possible. Two hours before the time for the exercises at the capitol grounds, 35, 000 persons struggled for points of vantage around the speaker's stand. Mr. Bryan was escorted to the stand by Governor Mickey from his private speech of welcome, Mayor Brown said: ' i Before introducing Governor Mickey who will extend the greetings of the State, Mr. Bryan, I, as mayor, welcome you homej not as a states man, not as a Democrat, but as that dearest to us all, our beloved neigh- bor.,? Governor Mickey spoke of the awakening of the public conscience to civic righteousness, and in this con nection spoke of "bogus reformers." The crowd seemingly misinterpreting his thought, indulged in some hiss ing. As Governor Mickey concluded and Mr. Bryan arose, there was renewd cheering and handclapping. Mr. Bry an began by saying that in his travels he had learned that the Arabic lan guage contained 600 words meaning camel, and that since returning to the United States he had wished that the American language contained as many words meaning "I thank you." He declared the happiest part of the long journey was the home-coming, and then went into a general descrip tion of his travels. Followi,) Mr. Bryan's speech, a reception took place in the capitol. There was a brilliant display of fire works on the State house grounds. No Postoffice Clerk's Union. Savannah, Ga., Special.

' THE 1 0 CENT LIMIT Southern Cotton Association Fixes Minimum Price CROP SHORTER THAN THOUGHT After Two Days' Deliberation Execu tive Committee Adopts Resolutions Declaring That Crop Has Greatly Deteriorated Since Aug. 15 and Urging All Southern Interests to Stand For 10-Cent Cotton as a Permanent Minimum. Hot Springs, Ark., Special. The executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association late Friday after noon recommended to its members and cotton growers of the South that no cotton be sold during the present season at 'less than 10 (?ents per pound. In a resolution adopted by the committee, it is stated that the crop is in a state of deterioration, and for that reason no estimate of the crop was made. The resolution states however, that the committee is satis fied that the crop will not be as large as the current estimate. The placing of the minimum price at 10 cents was in the nature of a victory for the con servative element ol the association. The resolution adopted by the com mittee, which is in the shape of an address to the public, follows: "Inasmuch as we, the cotton growl ers of the South, know that there has been great deterioration in the cotton cropsince August 15, and, "Whereas the consensus of opinion of the members of this committee is that the deterioration is still going on, we deem it unwise to make an estimate of the crop at this time'. We are satisfied the crop will not be as large as the current estimate. "We therefore suggest and urge upon all our members and producers throughout the South not to sell their cotton at a figure less than the cost of production. "We call unon all Southern in terests to aid in maintaining for all time this price as a minimum. We urge the necessity of marketing slow ly and only on an advancing market, and withdrawing all cotton from the market at every decline." The committee took up the charge against Secretaary Richard Cheatham of dealing in futures while an officer of the association. After a spirited debate, in which J. A. Brown, of North Carolina, led the opposition, the committee decided to go in exe cutive session to consider the charges. Mr. Brown then left the -room in which the committee were meeting and announced that he had refused to sit in executive session on the mat ter. Mr. Brown has maintained through out- the session that they should be open and not executive. Label Must State Contents, Washington, Special.
