The witness then testified to the entries, which he was told to make in the "bank's bo.k. He aid that Instead of making them on the. blotter, as was the custom, he was told to put them directly üpon the -books. At the close of yesterday's session Judge .Anderson indicated that a night session of the trial will be held to-nisht. hs the case was taking too much of his tine. Immediately Attorney Kttcham and Judze Van ileet. of the defense, were on their feet, protesting against night sessions. They declared that thov are not as young es- their opposing attorneys, and by the nd of the day session are exhausted from the work. They also contend that they need ome time, nt least, in which to work cn their case. Judge Anderson, however, raid he would think about the matter, but jie instructed the Jurors, who go home over Jiight, to come prepared for a night session. Uoth attorneys for the defense are indignant over the prospect of lighting on into the night, and declared It would be an outrage. DELAY IN CLOSING QASE. Much more time than had been expected Is being required by the prosecution to close its case, it now seems certain that all the witnesses for the government canJiot testify before to-niht, at least, although the defease has been Instructed to Lave witnesses in court this afternoon. The morning session yesterday was largely devoted to an examination of the overdrafts of the National Manufacturing Company and the Consolidated Paper and liag Company, both of which were managed "by Brown. It was shown thr.t both companies were actually far overdrawn. The testimony also showed that in spite cf these heavy overdrafts, Hrown checked just before the failure of the bank almost 31.500. It is expected that Collins will go on the stand to-day the l;ist witness of the defense. Until the cross-examination of Mr. Thomas by Attorney Ketcham la completed the government cannot tell exactly when it will close Its' case. LI. T. II. S. PLAYERS -PRACTICE AT BROOKSIDE

The Shortridge High School freshmen track team will start training to-day at the Capitol City Tark, which they have leased for the season. For the present the regullar track team will also practice at the game place. The park contains a quartermile track, and with a little work can be put into shapo for a good running track. The committee appointed by the Shortridge Athletic Association to obtain a held for the track and baseball teams has up to this time accomplished nothing. The baseball team is practicing on vacant lots, but the track team, with a meet schedule with Earlham for April 9, has done nothing in the way of training, ami consequently in in very poor shape. The Capitol City Park Is Inadequate for good work, but will serve for preliminary practice until a more suitable place can be secured. All candidates for the team are to report at the park this afternoon at 2 o'clock. S. H. S. FRESHMEN OPEN SEASON BY WINNING The Shortridge High School freshman baseball team opened its season yesterday afternoon by defeating the Plunger Athletic Club team by a score of 28 to 4.

Chairman Herrmann, of the National Raseball Commission, announced three decisions to-day. The first concerns First Baseman Frank Dillon, whom the Los Angeles club desires to use until his case has been passed upon again by the commission. As the original decision In the Dillon case awards him to Brooklyn, he cannot play elsewhere until his case has been passed upon agnin. The claim of the Shreveport club for $317 and the Spokane club for $22 advance money paid Frank uiseman, outneuier, was allowed, and the Chicago American League club, which drafted him, was notltied to see that the amounts were returned In order to retain JIulseman, outfielder, was allowed, and the to the St. Louis Americans. William O.'Hara, an intlelder, was awarded to the Toledo club, it being provel that he had been reserved by that club when Cleveland signed him. i SALARY LIMIT MAY BE AGREED UPON ON FRIDAY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., April 4. Manager Sebum, of the Elwood polo team, predicts that the most Important action that will bo takei by the directors of the Western League at their meeting next Friday will be the placing of a' salary limit, and the adoption of a percentage basis of dividing the receipts of games. It Is said that the teams that opposed the percentage plan when it was voted down recently now favor it. and will vote for the change. It is not likely that the directors will endeavor to prevent a manager paying so much money for any one min, but that it will limit the combined salaries of the six men which are hereafter to be carried to about $225. As all the players are held under a reserve clause, the probabilities are that none will be signed for another season until the salary limit is agreed upon and ratified by the Central 'League. - . .

This action means that horses and horsemen who race at the New Union Jockey Club's track at St. Ixmis will not be allowed to take part in any meeting held under either Western or Pacific coast Jockey Club Jurisdiction and will probably deter " many horses from shipping their stables to St. Louis as had been contemplated.

OIL MEN ME

DIVIDED III

TARIFF WAR Owners of Eleven Thousand Wells Are Backed by Two Big Refining Companies." REDUCTION' OK THE DUTY PETROLIA, Ontario, April 4. A careful scrutiny of the conflicting forces In the Canadian oil region reveal a paradoxical situation. The 11,(00 wells are owned by more than GOO individuals. A much larger number are Interested in royalties. Single individuals own as many as 700 wells strung out over the whole region. The interest of all these producers of crude would, as an original proposition, appear to be identical, liut from" their division on the chief Issue of tariff regulation, the inevitable conclusion is that iullueuces other than appear on the surface re the controlling sense. In fact the property interests are almost evenly divided. The owners of about onehalf of the wells have signed a petition to Parliament to reduce tho duty the crude product from 5 cents per gallon to 2 cents. The other half are petitioning Parliament not to lower the duty unless the government would destroy the oil industry of Canada. While the petition for a reduction contains but 113 names, and the opposition numbers 395, each controls equal proportions of the oil properties of Kent, Essex and Iambton counties. The forces are sharply aligned on this issue. The theories of the two differ so widely, and each maintains so persistently that if Its views are not accepted by Parliament the oil industry will be absolutely ruined, that a crisis would seem unavoidable. There are two big refining companies handling the product of the Canadian fields. Each is backing one of these factions. In the meantime the price of Canadian crude oil here is I2.2U per barrel, higher than it was ever known to go except ouring periods of wild speculation in the States, and the surface prospects are pronounced superior to anything witnessed here in years. Those resisting a decrease of duty Insist that if Parliament seriously contemplates the reduction a committee should be sejit to the oil fields to carefully investigate local conditions. They pretend to think this will be done if the negotiations reach a stage of development where a change Is probable. The logic of the situation would appear to require just such a visit of inspection before a step was taken that would Invite the dire consequences to a really important industry fered by many producers. J. E. Armstrong, M. P., for Eaet Lambton, said to-day that action by Parliament be regarded as a remote possibility. He is a practical oil producer, owns directly 250 wells, and has no interest In the refining business. He expresses regret that the subject of tariff changes being agitated. In fact the representatives of all factions interested in production or refining of oil deplore the unstable condition of the tariff. They maintain it is the source of the greatest insecurity to the industry. Those desiring a reduction in the duty as well as the opposition insist that the uncertainty of parliamentary action from year to year on the oil tariff is the wrost element they have to overcome, J. H. Fairbank, the most influential man who favors the reduction, and Mayor John IX Noble, who occupies a corresponding position with the producers opposing the change, unite on this proposition the menace of tariff instability. Roth arc pioneers In the Petrolla oil field. Roth came here forty years ago. Roth have followed the industry from its Inception, have contributed in no small degree to the development of the business.

Thomas Malia, , a ten-year-old boy, who for four years has been an inmate of the Home of the Merciful Savior, having lost ooth hands under train wheels in Allegheny when a mere babe has gladdened the hearts of his friends in jPittsburg by writing them a letter.

SMALL ADVERTISER VilliS," ADSCRIPT CLUB'S VERDICT Debaters Discuss Possibilities of Meager Business Publicity Now and Two Decades Ago. MANY ARGUMENTS USED That the small advertiser to-day has as good an opportunity of success through advertising as he had twenty years ago was the consensus of opinion of members of the Adscript Club last night when the question of the present status of the small advertiser was discussed. The affirmative, which won. was led by H. H. Paramore, the negative by G. W. Grlbble. Their addresses were followed by general discus-, sion by the entire club. The next meeting will debate "Resolved, That any business that can be profitably advertised at all. can profitably spend 4 per tent, at least of its gross receipt in advertising." An adlress on the subject, will be made by Horace E. Ryan, of L. S. Ayres & Co., followed by personal experiences of club members. Durfhg last night's session many interesting personal experiences were recited by club member of their success as small advertisers in Indianapolis. Some of the strong points made were brilliant and convincing, as: "Some small advertisers are afraid of being overshadowed by the big fellows." "The great overshadower is the bogie of many timid little people who are afraid to advertise lest somebody have an ad twice as big, or twice as often as they themselves can afford." "Little stores make money under good management." "Little advertisers prosper by the sensible use of their small spaces." "The little man, if he be a wise little man, will not attempt to overshadow his more pretentious rival he will outshine him." "Owing to our more rapid presses, the cost of advertising per l.OuO of circulation' is being steadily lowered." "You can reach l.OoO people .with your message for less money 4han ever before," "It used to be thought that we had to build an advertisement like a trapdoor. The unwary reader would step on It, and then maybe we had him." "Now we construct an ad like a glorious gate that swings open at the willing reader's glance. More people read ads than ever before. They read them because they want to. You can't hide an ad in any reputable publication where it will not be found ajid receive all the serious consideration that Is its due." "The most important advantage possessed by the advertiser of to-day is that he has the light of experience to guide him. Twenty years ago advertising appropriations were expended in experimental work." "They staked large sums In as uncertain a game as was ever played in the. world of business. " Now thq man with a small business and small capital to advertisewith can reckon results with nearly as great precision as the farmer can estimate the value of his crop at time he sows his seed." "Ignorance in business Is not bliss. The man starting in business now can place an advertising appropriation accoruing to methods tried and proven." BIG WHALE IS SEEN IN DELAWARE BAY Fishermen Now Fear to Put to Sea in Oyster Boats. PHILADELPHIA, Arril 4.-Men who go down the bay In oyster boats, fishing smacks and other small craft now pursue their avocation? In fear and trembling and keep a sharp lookout for a monster of the deep, which is said to be haunting those waters. The creature which the sailormen dread is said to be a monster whale, which has found its way Into the bay and does not seem to want to discover the return route to deep water. Ben Johnson and Charley Jackson, two fishermen who Jive in Southwark, are authority for the fish story. They say they sighted the whale In the Delaware bay on Wednesday last. They were in an open boat and had a good opportunity to view the leviathan. They did not venture near it, for they had no weapons at hand. The story of the fishermen is corroborated by the passengers of the steamship Switzer land, which arrived later. They reported sighting the whale as they came inside the capes, but their story "was laughed at. as it has lcen many years since a fish of that kind has been seen in the bay. Those to whom they told the tale on arriving here ridiculed it aud Insisted that the flsh was merely an overgrown porpoise. The big fish is a great traveler, or it has a mate, for the captain of the schooner North Carolina, which arrived at Raltlmore on March" 2$, reported having sighted a whale in the Chesapeake bay, off Wolf Trap. The skipper declares the whale was sixty feet long and while lying apparently asleep was taken for a capsized vessel. One of the crew "threw a marlin spike at the creature, whereupon it sounded aud was seen no more. NO CRIME FOR MAN TO EAT WITHOUT PAYING Court Holds that New Jersey Laws Do Not Cover "DeadBeating." TRENTON. N. J.. April 4. That it is no crime for a hungry man to "beat his way" at the table of a hotel or restaurant is a ruling of Police Justice Harris, of this city. The opinion was delivered when Frank Smith, of Coatesville, Pa., was arraigned on the charge of easing a full meal, topping oft with desert, including two kinds of pie, using finger bowl and napkin and then telling the waiter of a local restaurant that he had no money to pay the bill. Smith was arrested at the instance of the management of the restaurant, and when he was arraigned his only explanation was that he was penniless and starving. He knew he would be arrested if he begged on the streets, and so he took chances in the restaurant. Jnstice Harris decided that the man had been guilty of no false pretense, inasmuch as he had made, no promises , to pay when he sat down to the table. Neither had he been guilty of ary disorder, inasmuch as he had not resisted when placed under arrest. The justice, declaring it was not his fault if the law failed to protect merchants in such cases, discharged the prisoner and Smith left the court, promising he would pay the bill and tip the waiter as soon as he got the moaey. FARTHING FOR LOVE IS A BOON TO WIDOW Monev Received in Breach of Promise Suit Makes Attractive Advertisement. LONDON. April 4.

WAR AGAINST STUFFED GOSLINGS FOR EASTER Audubon Society Leaders Will Try to Suppress Future Sale of Souvenirs. DENVER, Col.. April 4. The local Audubon Society is already planning to make a vigorous campaign next year against the 'marketing of stuffed chickens and goslings as Easter souvenirs. This is the first year that Denver stores have been stocked with the peculiar Easlern favors and it has created quite a furor among the members of the eociety. ' Merchants say the sale has been phenomenal and are indignant at the Idea of suppressing them in future, but the society has determined to take active steps before the next spring season. For four years "the stuffed goslings and chickens have been widely sold as Easter souvenirs, but this was the first time Denver attempted to market them, and if the Audubon Society can exert its influence it will be the last. In previous years artistic confections in these designs have been placed on sale and have been quite as dainty. The goslings and tiny chickens are chloroformed when but a few days old and then treated. Thonsands of them were fold this year at from 35 to 50 cents. The DenTer branch of the society has been successful In all Its work this year, and, while still practically a new organization, it expects to accomplish good results in the future. Steps will be taken to Interest other cities in the work, and it is believed that next year will be a return to the artificial birds, as Easter favors. OLDEST NATIONAL BANK .
