Evansville lawyers, charged with aiding and abetting iu misappropriation of funds of the Mercantile-Com-mercial Bank of Evansville, which went to trial before Judge Albert B. Anderson in Federal Court, was expected to reach the jury late today. Carl B. Heldt, assistant cashier of the hank, who was Indicted with Ingle and Hull, changed his plea of not guilty to guilty when the case was called today and was the principal witness for the Government. He testified that Ingle and null had overdrawn their accounts to the extent of about $12,000 Jointly. These overdrafts had started, he said, by acci lent In April, 1920. when the bank was s lort of help and there was some disorganization as the result of a fire. A number of checks slipped through and after that he was afraid not to carry the overdrafts for fear the matter would come to light, and he would be discharged, he snid. He testified that he had called the attention of the defendants to the overdrafts but that they had failed to make them good. Attempts of attorneys for the defense to show that it was a practice at the bank to permit overdrafts in other cases failed when Judge Anderson ruled that t even though other persons were guilty Os the same offense in other cases it would not have any bearing on the guilt or innocence of the defendants.

Root is Shown to Be Maker of Nation Combine Senator Watson Reveals Him as the Originator of Association. By J. BART CAMPBELL. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Elihu Root was revealed today by Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, one' - of the Administration leaders, as the originator of the association of nations’ plan, by which President Harding Is seeking to give permanency to the present Washington conference. “It is not generally known,” Senator Watson said, “that the association of nations’ planks, adopted by the 1920 convention at Chicago, was written by Elihu Root. “Mr. Root is a strong advocate of the association of nations’ Idea, and that I believe is the basis of the splendid suggestion made by tho President. “We can enter such an association, and that is as far as we can go, although no one has a thought of destroying or quarreling with the League of Nations. “There is no reason why such an association of nations as the Administration is committed to, and in favor of which the Republican party went on„record at Chicago, cannot bring about an enlarged conference on a permanent basis, and for a friendly discussion between the nations of international questions.” Watson indicated that in the congressional campaign next year the Republican party Is prepared to go before the American people on the same Issue of an assocltion of nations as President Harding enunciated during his presidential campaign.

Ind., Nov. 28— Have yon any conscientious scruples which would cause you to hesitate in pronouncing the death penalty in a criminal case providing the evidence was strong enough to warrant a verdict of that kind? Have you formed an opinion ns to the guilt or Innocence of tho defendant, Fred Decker? Those two questions stand in the way of obtaining n Jury in the trial of the second of three Decker brothers to face charges of murder in an alleged insurance plot. Decker is charged with conspiring to slay Leroy I,ovett. whose body was fdund near Atwood, In an effort to collect $24,000 life insurance Virgil Decker carried by identifying the dead body as that of Virgil.

that her teacher called on me to find out why she had gone back so in her lessons. When I asked her why she had failed so in her school work she cried and said she studied as hard as ever, but couldn't seein to remember. Only a mother can understand what I suffered when I saw my daughter slowly but surely', fading away each day. I could hardly keep back the tears when I looked at her. “Six months ago wo took her out of school, thinking this might help her, but she continued to grow worse. We were told she would get better when she got older, but I was afraid she couldn't live and have shed many a tear over her condition. In fact, my husband and myself, both, were downright sick from worry over her, and yet, nothing did her any good. “One day my husband said, ‘Why not ‘have Mary try Tanlac? Each morning T have read in the papers of someone be ing helped by it and It may' be what she needs.’ “Well, I had tried everything else, so as a last resort I had Mary try Tanlac and I have felt thankful a thousand times that I did. Before she finished the first bottle she was eating like I have been wanting to see her eat for three years. Now she is the first to the table and the last to leave. She has gained fifteen pounds and is still gaining, and her face is as round and rosy ns It over was. Her eyes sparkle with health, her steps are light, and she is as full of life as a kitten. It does my heart good to hear her running around, singing and laughing and enjoying life and good health again. My gratitude to Tanlac is unbounded.” Tanlac is sold in Indianapolis by Hook Drug Company and leading druggists everywhere.—Adv.
