EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., Nov. 26.—Indictments charging the embezzlement of $148,000 from the First National bank of Johnson City, 111., were returned last night by a federal grand jury against O, A. Harker, Jr., cashier of the bank, and H. J. Froelich and J. J. West, of Chicago.

Harker was arrested and released on $15,000 bond and warrants were issued for the arrest of Froelich and West

The First National bank of Johnson City closed August 18 and a receiver was appointed, but subsequently the bank reopened.

Harker is a son of Professor O. A. Hai-ker, dean of the law department of the University of Illinois, who, it is understood, deposited $75,000 in cash and securities to cover his son's loss, thereby enabling the bank to resume business.

The irregularities were discovered on August 18 when Charles Burton, national bank examiner, found in the vaults only $4,000 in cash and securities, whose face value was more then $100,000, but whose actual values he

SAYS HE TALKS WITH DEAD.

Sir Oliver Lodge Expresses Conviction In Future Life. LONDON, Nov. 2«.—Sir Olliver Lodge, president of the Society for Psychical Research, in a lecture lesterday in Browning hall, Wallworth, made a striking declaration of his spiritual faith, expressing his absolute conviction in the future existence, and Raying that he had conversed with friends who had passed away. "I say this," said Sir Oliver, "on definite scientific grounds. I say it because I know that certain friends of mine still exist, because I have talked to them. Communication is possible, but one must obey the laws to find out the conditions. I do not say it Is easy, but I say it is possible. "I tell you that these people still take an Interest in the things that are going on, that they will help us to know more about things than we do, and that they are able from time to time to communicate with us."

Sir Oliver said that once people realized the consciousness was something cutside of the mechanism it made use of, they realized that the survival of existence was the simplest thing. It was unreasonable that the soul should pass out of existence when the body was destroyed people were not limited to the few years they live on earth and they certainly continued to exist.

NEW PUN 1$ 10 USE PORTABLE COTTACES

Vigo Comity Tuberculosis Society Would Make Life Easier for the Stricken—Clinic Opens Friday.

A new improvement In the plan of the Vigo County Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is being contemplated. It Is the aim of the society to purchase portable cottages in the spring with part of the money raised by the sale of the Red Cross seals, which begins Tuesday, and use them for patients who find It Inconvenient to leave their own homes.

According to Miss Dora L. Burr, visiting nurse of the society and who had charge of the Twin Hills camp last year, in many cases persons demur against confining themselves at the Twin Hills camp and virtually severing home ties. This is especially noticed in the cases of heads of families. Under the portable cottage system, it will be unnecessary for the patient to leave his own home, and he will be no menace to hig family.

The intention of the society, in case the plan Is adopted, is to place the portable cottages in the rear of the patient's home. The patient may then be in continual communication with his family yet there will be no danger of spreading the disease. The visiting nurse will make regular calls and look after the sanitary conditions.

Clinic Opens Friday.

The tuberculosis clinic, which is a new thing in Terre Haute, is ready for opening Friday afternoon. Considerable interest is being taken among the doctors of the Vigo County Medical society in the clinic and two of the society will be in attendance when the clinic is open to the public, as wi}l the visiting nurse. "The patients who pre most desirable are those who have a 'hacking cough,'" said Miss Burr. In tfceee cases the patient will be given an examination, and told If he has any signs of tubercular germs. In case he has he will be given a course of treatment and the visiting nurse will look out for the case.

Plans for the opening of the Red Cross seal campaign are being, rapidly completed and it is thought that when the first seal is sold In the campaign Terre Haute will have one of the most active campaign organizations ever formed in the state. The number of canvassers Is now over the 80 mark and more than 100 are expected to be enlisted in the campaign Friday.

JUST LIKE FATHER.

A lesson In mythology was in progress: the subject for the day was Atlas. Ten minutes before the school closed the teacher devoted to asking questions. This was the time when she generally discovered what a lot of talking it is possible to do without being hee rd. "Now, Alice Ermyntrude, what did Atlas do?" "Supported the world on his shoulders, mlsB," replied Alice Ermyntrude with the calm confidence of certain knowledge. "That's right, dear," answered the gratified teacher. "Now, Gervangeline Ellen, if Atlas supported the world, what supported Atlas?"

Gervangeline Ellen's knowledge of the male sex was confined to a close observation of her father's habits. "Please, teacher," she arusmered, "his wife!"—Answers.

COLOMBIA HAS SMALL RAILROAD MILEAGE

Country of Half Million Square Miles' Territory Has Less Than 700 Miles of Transportation.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Nov. 26.—More railroads are what the Colombians are asking for constantly, and better facilities to move the raw products to the seaports, as well as better ways for getting the Imported articles into the interior are felt to be essential before the republic can claim a prominent commercial position among Its fellownations.

Despite the various drawbacks, the fact that the government has found it unnecessary to declare a moratorium in view of the financial conditions throughout the world would indicate that Colombia has in recent years been progressing in its trade and general development. In imports Colombia gained last year more than $3,000,000. Of the total amount of $27,000,000 the United States furnished 28 per cent, the United Kingdom 22 per cent and Germany 15 per cent.

There also has developed a good parcel post trade with Colombia. No record was kept of the countries of origin, but there is opportunity for largely increasing this kind of business.

Up to the beginning of the war abroad European manufacturers had agents and salesmen In Colombia, and the cotton textile trade was particularly inviting. It Is considered curious here that United States manufacturers and exports apparently have been neg­

Colombia's export business also increased in 1913, and of the more than $34,000,000 worth of products shipped out of the country, bananas headed the list to the value of $8,059,000. Gold mining is taking on considerable Importance considering the few mines in operation at present. The output in 1918 exceeded $4,Q0O,OOO, but there is some surprise expressed that good exports are below the 1912 figures to the extent of more than $2,1/00,000. The difference is explained as being due to shipments by private carriers, no records being kept.

Speaking of Columbia's railways, there are less than seven hundred miles in operation in the whole republic. There are thirteen different lines, the shortest elgtit miles long and the longest ninety-two miles. The Santa Maria railway runs from the Carrtbean port of Santa Marta to the town of Fundacion, on the river of the same name. The line traverses some of the richest banana country and extensions are planned into districts which would develop at once with railroad facilities. The $2,747,800 securities of the Santa Marta road are held mostly in Great Britian.

The Cauca line and its extension operates from the Pacific port of Buenaventura inland to Call.

WAITED 25 YEAES FOB SALE. Then Bell Foundry Got Contract From Hartford Cathedral.

HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 2«.—To wait twenty-five years before landing a contract is a long time, yet that is the experience of the Meneely Bell company of Troy, N. Y., the company furnishing the new chimes for St. Joseph's cathedral. The bells, ten In number, are in the city and will he baptised soon after which they will be Installed in the west tower. As soon as they are installed the manufacturers will give an afternoon concert on them.

How the bell company came to wait twenty-fivo years for the contract is an interesting story. Twenty-flve years a.go a representative of the Troy company was in the city and between trains he happened to pass the cathedral, then only in its beginnings. Als ways having an eye to business and thinking that possibly a set of chimes might be needed he inquired of those In charge of the erection of the edifice. He was told that the church did not have money enough at that time and to "come abound again in twentyflve years." In that time those who laughingly put off the chime maker/ by telling him to wait twenty-flve years have died or left Hartford, but recently when the contract was awarded. the man from Troy recalled the circumstances as soon as he knew who the buyers were and he told the story of the visit to Hartford twenty-flve years ago and of the "deferred order," which the Rev. T. S. Duggan, the rector of the cathedral, told to his parishioners when making his announcement as to the chimes.
