HIT BY ANINDICTMENT

Latest Victim of a Grand Jury Inquisition Is F. Augustus Heinze. ACCUSED OF A PENAL OFFENSE Over-Certification of Checks That Aggregated $400,000. Echo of the Beginning of the PanicUnder Bond in 180.000-Coun-Sel Sajri the Grand Jury la “Off.’'

New York. Jan. 8. —Indicted by the federal grand Jury for the over-certifi-cation of fifteen checks representing in the aggregate over $400,000 and drawn by the firm of Otto Heinze & Co. on the Mercantile National bank, F. Augustus Heinze, the copper magnate and ex-presidcnt of the Mercantile National bank, surrendered himself to United States Commissioner Shields and later was released on $50,000 ball. Ed,ward Lauterbach, counsel for Heinze, stated that his client did not wilfully over-certify the checks, as he had drawn a check to the credit of Otto Heinze A Co. to the amount of $500:000 which the bookkeeiier of the bank possibly failed to enter on tbe book 4 until a day after tbe certification of the checks in question. Heinze Was Given the Tip. Heinze had been Informed quietly that indictments charging him with the over-certification of fifteen checks, all drawn on Oct. 14, Just before the smash in United Copper, bnfl been found by the federal grand jury on Pec. 2, and that his appearance would be required. Without awaiting the service of a bench warrant he, in company with his counsel, appeared before Commissioner Shields. The proceedings were short. Heinze pleaded not guilty and ball was supplied immediately by a surety company. When these pro ceedings were concluded Heinze told the newspapermen that he did not care to make any statement and hurried away with his counsel. After an examination of the Indictment, which contains thirty counts. Counsel Edward Lauterbach made the following statement: “The indictment is based upon certification of fifteen checks amounting to something over $400,000 drawn by Otto lleluze & Co. on the 14th day of October last. Refold the certification' was made F. Augustus Heinze obtained the d>B count of a note of $500,000, secured by abundant stock exchange collateral, worth at the market rates of that day more than SBOO,OOO, and drew his check for sf<oo,ooo to the credit of Otto neinze & Co., the amount of which should have been passed to their credit, as I think it was.”

GRAND JURY WAS MISTAKEN

Bo Lauterbach Saj's—What the Indictment Charger. Lauterbach then* said tliere was no willful intent to over-certify, and "I believe that if the grand jury could have understood the situation correctly no indictment would have been found." Tlie indictment specifically charges that Heinze, while president of the 'Mercantile ''National bank, over-certi-fied fifteen checks. That is, that In* guaranteed by the bank signature that tlie slims indicated in the checks word held by the institution to tlie credit of the drawer. To over-,ertil’y bank pa per Is under the federal statute an offense punishable by imi>riso;:inent of not less than five years and not more than ten years. The troubles of F. Augustus lleluze began with the bull campaign started by Otto Heinze A: Co. and associates in the stock of the United Copper company, which Heinze had organized and developed after his long fight with tk: Amalgamated Copper interests in Montana. The stock was selling about fk) when a mysterious selling was detected. Believing It to be an effort to raid the stock by short selling Ottcs Heinze & Co. gavp unlimited buying order* to various brokers, believing that when the time came the bear operators would be unable to cover their contracts except at such price* as the Heinzcs dictated.

Heavy selling of United Copper continued, and to purchase the stock offered Otto Heinze & Co. was forced to draw check* for large amounts to various brokers. When the source of the selling was the He.nzes declared that they had ffieen betrayed by frlendawho sold their holdings of United Copper on the high market. The United Copper stock slumped, and Gross & Kleeberg, stock brokers, su* pended, alleging }hat Otto Heinze & Co. had failed to take up the stock of the United Copper company which had been l>ought for them. A crisis was provoked In the affairs of the Mercantile National bank and the clearing house committee made au examination, following which Heinze withdrew from the institution as an official, bnt with bis friends, still maintained a stock control, which he had purchased several months before from Kdwin Gould. HatnM Pleads Not Guilty. Heinze, who was arrested charged with the over-certification of checks while president of the Mercantile National bank, entered a plea of not guiltjr when arraigned before Judge Chat

field In tbe United States court Through his counsel Heinze reserved tbe right to withdraw the plea of not guilty and demur to the Indictment any time before Jan. 20. Tbe bail bond of $50,000, wWeh Mr. Heinze fur nlshed after his arrest, waa allowed to stand.

ONE VENIRE IS EXHAUSTED

And Only Six Jurors Accepted In the Thaw Trial—Defense Springs a Big Surprise.

New York, Jan. 9. —The work 6f securing a Jury to try Harry K. Thaw a second time for killing Stanford White was half complete when court adjourned shortly before 6 p. m. The original venire of three hundred special service Jurors had been exhausted at that hour and the customary night sitting was not held. The oath of service was administered to three men, making six In all who have been finally accepted.

Tlie tactics of the defense are visible in the tray Littleton questions the veniremen, which shows that he intends to force tbe state to prove Thaw sane when he killed White, and also In a surprise In the matter of witnesses, the defense admitting that it had subpoenaed several of the expert witnesses used by the state at the first trial. Intending to prove by them that Thaw was ingane when fired the shot, and then force the state to prove that he is insane now.

ALL FOR THE BANKS

John at. Walsh Says His Deals Were Entirely for tbe Benefit of His Institutions. Chicago, Jan. 9. John R. Walsh took the witness stand In the United States district court to defend himself against charges of misapplying fufids of the Chicago National bank. He took the entire responsibility for everything that was done, including the famous “memorandum notes,” but denied that he undertook these transactions with any thought of personal gain, alleging that the interests of the bank and its allied institutions —the Equitable Trust company and the Home Savings bank —were his chief concern.

The “memorandum note”system was adopted because it waseonvenlent, and the rernon for putting the names of others than himself as signers was “to keep the transactions separate. A memorandum note made for tbe benefit of the Illinois Southern had an Illinois Southern man’s name to it and so with tlie Wisconsin and Michigan.”

The raiders did not fire any shots in either place, but went ahout their work quietly, leaving as soon as the, work had been accomplished. The men were all masked and heavily armed and created a reign of terror •among the citizens of the little villages.

CONTROVERSY ENDED

So Far as the President It Concerned, as to Command of Hospital Ships. MEDICAL MEN ABE SUSTAINED All Such Vessel* To Be Controlled by Officers of the Staff Some Very Sharp Comment on Admiral Brownaon's Resignation and on Line Officer* aa Commanders.

Washington, Jan. 6. President Roosevelt’s attitude on the question of the command of hospital ships In the navy, which resulted In the resignation of Rear Admiral Brownson, and Incidentally some caustic observations ou that Incident and the controversies among the naval officers and their adherents as to details of naval construction and methods of training were made known when Secretary Metcalf gave to the press two letters from the president addressed to him on these subjects. Doe* Not Mince His Words.

In the first of these letters President Roosevelt, without mincing words, con demns In unmeasured terms the act of Admiral Brownson. declaring It to be unseemly and improper. The question as to which Admiral Brownson took Issue with the navy department the president declares Is one as to which there can he entirely legitimate dlf ferenees of opinion, but he adds “there Is no room for difference of opinion as to tbe gross impropriety of the ad nilral’s conduct in resigning sooner than carry out the orders of his su perlor officers In such a matter. The officers of the navy must remember that it is not merely childish, but in the highest degree reprehensible, to permit either personal pique, woundeJ vanity, or factional feeling on behalf of some particular bureau or organization. to render them disloyal to the interests of the navy and therefore of the country as a whole.” Ananias Society Prospers.

Regarding the controversies in the navy the president admits there always are and always will be defects to correct. It is well, he says, that these defects he pointed out, but it is also well that they should be pointed ont without “hysterical exaggeration or malicious untruthfulness.” He scathingly rebukes those guilty of exploiting them in grossly exaggerated form in the fancied interest of an individual or clique of individuals or for the sake of supplying sensational material matter to newspapers. AH this in the irat letter.

HE SETTLES THE CONTROVERSY

So Far as His Administration Is Con« cerned—Characteristic Comment. The president’s second letter to Metcalf is an argument to sustain his decision to assign medical officers to the command of hospital ships. It also directs shall hereafter, unless otherwise directed by congress, h ispital ships be placed under the control and command of medical officers, their navigation being exclusively controlled by a competentsailing master and civilian < rew, the sailing master having the complete responsibility for everything connected with the navigation of the ship. In this letter the president says, among other characteristic comment: “The hospital ship now in question, the Relief,, has already been used by the United States army as such. -It I was then commanded by a medical officer, with a sailing master under him. This arrangement lias worked we 1, and it is preposterous to suppose that it will not work as well under a medical officer of the navy as under a medical officer of the army.” The president | says that in other navies the hospital ship is thus commanded, and the practice was followed in our civil war, and he declares that “Tbs command of a hospital ship should unquestionably be vested in a medical officer, and no line officer should be ahftard it.” Then the president tells how United States ships when commanded by line officers, but flying the Red Cross flag and therefore neutral took belligerent part in the Spanish war, and adds: “In time of war the presence of combatants — that is. of line officer* 4»r crew—'would certainly cast a suspicion upon the neutrality of the ship; and no line officer worth his salt would wish to be on such a ship, while it seems Incredible that any line officer should desire to have another line officer on board such a ship.” Admiral Brownson was shown Hie president’s letter by a representative of the Associated Press and asked ff in view of the fact that Roosevelt’s side of the subject had been stated in these communications he would not feel at liberty to say something in his own behalf. “Not a *vord,” was his prompt reply, and this attitude he maintained to all inquiries for his views. The admiral has consistently declined to say anything for publication.

Liability Law Unconstitutional.

Washington, Jan. 7.—ln an opinion by Justice White the supreme court of the United States held to be unconstitutional the congressional enactment of June 11, ipo6, known as “the employers’ liability law,” making railroads and other common carriers responsible to employes in accidents due to the negligence of fellow servants or to ineffective appliances. The decision of the lower courts was affirmed.
