tion; would turn his holdings to the
Standard association to carry in the
future.
On redirect Mr. Tidd stated short
ages had made necessary liquidation,
as the association had not the funds
to pay the demand of stockholders.
Said stockholders numbered between
300 and 320.
Back on cross examination. Mr.
Tidd stated strikers were stockhold
ers and many had withdrawn. Again

testified that he lived in west part
of city. Was sexton of the Platts
mouth cemetery. Had found some

ness called by the defense after the
state rested at 10:30 this morning.
Witness had examined the ledger
accounts charged under indictments.
Was a general record and showed a
general and not individual balance.
Was not an individual record. Had
checked over entire ledger account,
taking paid up stock register, jour

the entries made in debit record.
Necessary to have full access to all
records. All items necessary to make
determination. In the cases In the
ledger accounts, charged the same as
caEh in making cancellation. System
in handling the running stock was
to issue warrants. If behind In pay
ments the back payments were taken
out. Record was an over statement
of stock liability. If the amount had
been accurate would not have been
necessary to have made correction.
Under the handling of the books, the
on'y wny to ccrroct error was to make
additional record.
Witness was asfced to give result
of his finding as to items of $300 and
$900 made in debit entries In Rys
case and also $3,000 item in Samp
son case and item of $5,250 entered
in the books of the association. In an

was recorded either as a payment or
a correction; Item of $900 in Rys
matter. Journal entry carried expla
nation as a correction. Sampson ac
count, total made $3,300 when should
be $2,100. In correction the defend
ant had overcharged amount. In the
Jahrig case there was an error prior
to the correction made. The original
certificate to Cecelia Jahrig for sum
of $1,500, surrendered for payment
by warrant of $300 on March 2, 1921.
A new certificate for $1,200 made.
In this the treasurer was charged
with $1,200 as though received in
cash. Correction should be made of
$1,200 In accounts. The aggregate
amount shown was correct after the
correction made. Balance indicated
that entries were to correct errors.

An error was made in bringing for
ward balance. Concerned over liabil
ity of $2,000.
An error of $200 also apparent in
the account of Martha PeterEon, who
held certificate for $400, which was
returned and received a warrant for
$200 and new certificate for $200.
Proper debit entry not made and this
made necessary a $200 correction in
the account.
The $9,850 item was made, witness
said as a correction and not false
entry.
An error was made on certificate
issued to C. G. Fricke. Original was
for $1,400; returned and a with
drawal of $400 made, payable by
warrant, a new certificate for $1,000
being Issued. Ne debit was made for
the cancellation of $1,000, leaving
an over statement of the sum of one
thousand dollars.
Another error in certificate to Mrs.
Martha Bates for $C00, a liability
entered when indication made show
ed that it bad never been issued and

Slatinsky. Certificate for $2,200 re
turned April 6. 1921; received the
sum of $200 and new certificate for
$2,000 Issued. Entry showed $200,

record of pavment or indicating that
it had been canceled. Entry debiting
certificate necessary and not made

The certificate issued to Frank
Schuldlce for $450, indication wit
ness said had been returned with
$50 in cash and new certificate for
$500 made. Debit for amount had not
been made and left an overliability
of 1450.
In the certificate of Mike Rys for
$800 in October, 1920. and one in
February, 1921, for $200 were re

Another certificate, issued to Fran-
ces Janda for $2,000, returned Oc-
tober 14. 1921 ; withdrew on it the
sum of $1,000, receiving a new cer-
tificate for $1,000. No proper entry
made. The state objected to the de-
fense witness trying to show items
occuring in September and October,
1921, when the alleged balance to
correct figures had been in August,
1921. Sustained by the court.
F. G. Egenberer certificate for

1921, returned, for payment of $1,300

ed the overstatement of liability of
the assaciation. The $2,700 was di
vided into $1,000 for John Egenberg
er and $1,700 to F. G. Egenberger.
The total amount was shown on the
association books, as there was no
record of the payment of the $1,300.1
The total liability was $6,400. as set
forth in the books, making necessary
a correction,
The next item referred to by the
witness was that of Alia Bezdek for
$250. A warrant for $150 was drawn
and a new certificate for $200 made.
No entry of canceling the old cer
tificate, thereby increasing the stock
liability.
State objected on the ground that
the evidence had no bearing on the
balance entered of $9,850 charered in
indictment.
The certificate of Rose Cloidt for'ne knew- This is indeed a very saa

$1 000 had been turned in and an-'
other $500 withdrawn. The Incor-
rect handling of these items had ad
ded $S.000 over liability to the
i association. Indication on books was
that there was an overstatement of
$5,000 appearing due to the stock
holders, a debit entry of $5,000 be
ing necessary.
Witness stated had made up total
including errors in footing of $52,
532.75, the debits showing a lia
bility of $42,062.75, actual liability,
of $13,350 and excess liability due
to improper entries, of $2S,000. The
balances were struck, witness said,
on May 19, 1921; June 2Q, Septem
ber 18. October 20. November 20 and
December 21. and January 20, 1922.
Witness said "out-of-order" entry
made in August, 1921, should have
been for correspondin date in ep
tember. Mr. Greenfield was still on the
stand giving direct testimony at the
time the Journal went to press, and
with prospects of facing a long cross
examination. Is is not expected to
complete the case before some time
tomorrow and it is probable it will
reach the Jury about noon Saturday.
The tedious expert testimony is dry
compared with the startling crimin
al testimony of the other trials, and
as a result only a mere handful of
listeners are in the court room.
From Saturday' Daily
The cross examination of Mr. L.
A. Greenfield, expert accountant and
defense witness, was undertaken yes
terday afternoon shortly after the
Journal went to press, being conduct
ed by Attorney D. O. Dwyer, special
state prosecutor.
Mr. Dwyer asked the witness con
cerning the Rys claim, $400 on one
date, another item of $900 and in an
other place an item of $600. Said it
might have been either pajments or
correction of errors. D. Sampson's

on none of dates of attempted balance
had errors been found corresponding
in amount to the entries.
Judge Troup inquired as to wheth
er the corrections alleged to have
been made covered the amounts due
on over liability. Witness answerel
that the corrections were less than
the liability. One Item of $64,000 un
derstated liability. A person makin :
an examination would be deceived in
the figures. Items appeared as the
record of Daid-uD stock. The Iprfirpr

on his personal note from E. L. Do
heny, California oil magnate, Mr.
Doheny testified today before the
senate investigating committee.
The date of the loan was given as
November 30, 1921, or more than a
year before the secretary signed the
no relation to any of the subsequent '

him "personally" and that "in con-1 home runs made off his pitching,

"The transactions themselves in
the order in which they occurred,"
Mr. Doheny said, "dispose of any
contention that they were influenced
by my making a personal loan to a
lifelong friend."
The oil magnate testified that he
had advanced the omney to enable
Mr. Fall to enlarge his New Mexico
ranch holdings and that he had fully
intended to collect the loan if Mr.
Fall s health remained good and that
if necessary he had planned to em
ploy the former secretary to look af
ter his Mexio holdings so as to en
able him to repay the debt.
Mr. Doheny's testimony threw a
bombshell into what already has de-
veloped into one of the most sensa
tional investigations conducted by a
congressional committee in recent
years In view of it Mr. Fall will be
questioned when he appears before
the committee next Monday regard
ing his statement of December 27 to
the committee, in which he said:
"It should be needless for me to

Chicago, Jan. 23. Grover Alex

in baseball. His record for thirteen
seasons tells us that. Grover has
pitched 510 games during his time,
of which 406 counted in the won or
lost column. His percentage in vic
tories stands .658, which is about the
best in baseball.
For a hurler of his rating there
nas Deen an unusual number or
than the big Nebraskan, but fewer
homers were made off the hurling
of this trio than were niade off the
curves of G. Alexander.
In the 510 games or, part of games
that Alex has taken part in, 87 home
runs were annexed off his delivery.
"Cy" Young pitched 85S games, al
lowing only 84 home runs. Mathew

DRY RESOLUTION
PROVIDES WORLD
WIDE PROHIBITION
Iowa Anti-Saloon League Would
Have Americans Set Example
Plan State Crusade.
Des Moines, la., Jan. 25. An ap
peal to the people that "Americans
set an example for all nations, to the
end that world-wide prohibition may
soon be realized." was made in a
i resolution adopted today by the state
'anti-saloon league, in convention
here. The resolution declared the
fight against bootleggers must not be
given up until every section of the
country is entirely dry. The resolu
tions denounced persons "who call
themselves American citizens and at
the same time flagrantly violate the
constitution."
I Plans were made for the most ex
tensive crusade ever launched in
( Iowa. Through the churches, the
'campaign is to be carried into every
city of the state and a particular ef
fort is to be made to oust from pub
lic office, officials who are not prop
erly enforcing the liquor laws. The
main effort will be centered in local
campaigns.
Rev. John L. Hillman, president
; of Simpson college, was re-elected
president, and C. N. Millan, Sioux
City, was elected secretary.
