rer's l.lnhlllty.
The particular charge which Charles T.
Officer, Indicted for fraudulent banking,
will l'ave to answer, la that of having ac
cepted deposits while cognizant of the
bank's Insolvency. Tho Indictment Is found
on the charge that Officer accepted a de
posit of $1,100 made by John T, Oliver of
this city on April 6, 1900, and that Mr.
Officer was In tho employ of the .Officer &
.Pusey bank and had charge of that part of
the bank's buslnosB which generally and
usually devolvts upon tho cashier and re
ceiving teller of a banking Institution, It
Is further charged In tho Indictment that
the bank was Insolvent at tho time and
that Mr. Officer's action In the acceptance
of tho deposit under such Insolvency was
"unlawful, fraudulent and felonous."
Tho witnesses examined by tho gran I
Jury were Charles B. Walters, expert ac
countant employed by thn creditors to ex
amine tho books of the bank: L. F. Mur
phy, formerly bookkeeper In the bank, and
at present one of the rocelvcrs; J. It. Mc
Phcrson. S. a. Underwood, J. J. Klein,
Albert J. Fntil, formerly In tho employ of
the bank; William II. Kuhn, J. J. Stewart,
attorney for a number of tho creditors and
himself a heavy creditor of the bank; Fre
mont Denjamln and John T. Oliver.
John T. Oliver's testimony was to the
effect that he had been a depositor In tho
Ofiicer & Puiey bank for nearly forty years
and that on the day he deposited tho $1,100
Charles T. Officer received the money nnd
wrote out a certificate of deposit for six
months, bearing 3 per cent Interest.
Testify ItranrdliiR llrpoRlts.
J. It. McPherson testified that he had
deposited $200 In the bank the Saturday be
fore It was placed In tho hands of receivers.
S. O. Underwood's evldcnco was that a fow
days before the bank closed ho had depos
ited $402. J. J. Klein testified that he had
also shortly before tho bank closed Its doors
deposited $344 to tho account of John Lin
dcr. J. J. Stewart testlnod that on July 2.
1900, he placed $1,000 on deposit lu the bank.
A. J. Faul, who was employed ns clerk
In the bank for ten years, testified that
Charles T. Officer was tho cashier and re
ceiving' teller of the institution. He also
testified that notes which were outlawed
were carried on the books us assets at J00
cents on the dollar.
The testimony of Expert Walters was that
bis examination of the books and accounts
of the firm showed that Charles T. Officer
had acted ss cashier of the bank, fi'ilng
the firm's name to drafts, certificates of
depoalt and other paper of tho bank, be
sides handling the -cash. His testimony
also related to the loose manner In which
the business had been conducted. Ho testi
fied that his examination showed conclu
sively that tho bank had been Insolvent for
at least ten years prior to Its suspension.
An to Charles T. Officer s knowledgo of the
insolvency of tho bank, Mr. Walters' evi
dence was that he thought Officer testified
In the district court at the hearing of tho
receivership case that ho know tho bank
had been Insolvont for about three years be
fore It was closed. This portion of his tes
timony, however, was based only on hli re
membrance of Charles T. Officer's evldonce.
Worthies I'nprr nn Asuetn.
L. F. Murphy's testimony related par
ticularly to the fact that outlawed and
worthless paper to the amount of $75,000
had been carried on the books of tho bank
for eighteen years at 100 conts on the dol
lar. Ho testified that on the morning tho
rccelvors took charge of tho bank Charles
T. Officer opened the rcsorvo cotupnrtmcnt
of the safe and told them, that thero was
not as much cash there by jiu.uuu as mo
slips called for. Mr. Murphy said Officer
oxplalned that this difference was made, tin
of personal checks of Thomas Officer and
W. H. M. Pusey, which had been stamped
pold. but which had never been charged up
to their accounts. He testified that he had
been bookkeeper in the bank for fifteen
ytars nnd that "Charles T. Officer usually
counted the cash and mado the slip stating
the amount of cash In tho safe and the cash
out of the safe nnd handed It to me."

MOTOR COMPANY'S PAVING
Clly rotitirll In Spr-Plnl Session Ad
JnslM llsiu(e Orrr tlrlck
nnd 'I'rnr-Us.
The matter of paving between the trucks
of thi? motor company on Upper Hroadway
caused the city council to hold n special
meeting yesterday afternoon. Thn motor
company had begun to pave between Its
tracks with but one course of brick, claim
ing that on account of the height of the
ties there was not room for the two qoitrsej.
Tho brick was being laid on n foundation
of sand. At the meeting of the city council
Monday, when attention was culled to this,
the aldermen .passed a resolution to tho
effect that tho motor company pave be
tween its tracks with tho same material
and In tho samo manner ns the rest "of tho
thoroughfaro was paved.
In order to comply with this order tho
motor company would have been compelled
to lower Its tics and this would have meant
a complete relaying of the tracks on Knst
Droadwny. Some of tho nldermen suggested
that Ihe company bo permitted to lay n
foundation of concreto In plnco of the
lower tier of brick, but this wns objected
to by tho motor company. A compromise
was reached yesterday afternoon, nftcr tho
aldermen had inspected the street. It was
decided to permit the motor compan to lay
but one course of brick on tho tics, but that
It should lay two courses between them.
Property owners on East liroadway who
hnvo to pay their share of tho paving are
not satisfied with this concession to thn
motor rompnny. They point out that tho
company was fully aware when It relnld Its
tracks that tho street was to bo pnved with
two courses of brick nnd they claim that It
should have mndo proper provision so that
tho paving between tho tracks would con
form with the rest of tho thoroughfare.
It Is said that a formal protest on behalf of
the abutting property owners will bo made
at tho meeting of the city council Monday
night. Tho protesting property owners
Btatc they would bo satisfied If the motor
company laid n foundation of concreto In
place of tho lower tier of brick, but ob
ject to but one tier of brick over tho tics
oil thi! croundR that In n shnrt I lino Ihn
surface of tho street between tho tracks '
will become uneven, If not full of holes. I
Dr. P. J. Montgomery, owner of consid
erable property fronting on Fourth street,
In a written communication alleged, that )
the paving recently completed In front of
his holdings wan not according to contract ,
and In several places tho concrete baso was ,
from one to two Inches less than tho speci
fications cnlled for. He also called ntton- !
Hon to tho fact that his property at thn
corner of Fourth and Worth streets would
not stand the assessment for the Improve
ment. Tho acccptanco of Drinker Hnnnan and E.
A. Wlckham of the resolution granting them
nlno Inches of Hroadway nnd North Main
streets was .received and approved.
Assistant. City Engineer Judson submitted
a list of streets on which sidewalks had
been ordered and which were Included In
two separate contracts. Action on the ro
port was deferred until the meeting next
Monday.
City Solicitor Wadsworth submitted a ro
port on the matter of repairing the curb
ing on Qlen avenue, now being paved. He
said tho specifications which formed a pnrt
of tho paving contract with Wlckham pro
vided that alt old curbing should bo ro
placed without extra charge nnd that all
now curbing should be set by tho con
tractor at specified price In accordance
with this report the city engineer wns In
structed to- see that the contract wns
cnrrled out.
Attorney J. J. Stewart, representing Itev.
II. L. Knox, In his personal injury dam
ago suit ngalnst the city, which Ih assigned
for trial In tho district court next Monday,
submitted n proposition to tho council to
sottlo the enso out of court. Ho did not give
any figures, but Alderman Lougco said he
understood that Rev. Mr. Knox would sot
tlo for $500. After discussing the matter
It was decided to offer $150 In settlement.
Tho council adjourned to Monday even

PES MOINES, Sept. 14. (Special.) Tho
trunrterly conference of tho superintendents
and heads of staio institutions wns held
today at tho stato capltol, with good at
tendance. Tho feature of tho conference
was the discussion of tho modern methods
of caring for the Insane, participated In by
tho four superintendents of the stato hospi
tals for the Insane lu lown, a paper on tho
subject being read by Dr. William F. Woggo
of Milwaukee, Wis, In this paper, Dr.
Weggo presented tho result of cxtenslvo
Investigation of tho methods of caring (or
Insnno In uso In this country and In Europe.
Ho called attention to tho fact that what
is known as tho boarding out system Is In
uso In Scotland and some of tho countries
of tho continent, hut In not popular here,
whero tho old corridor system Is bolng
gradually superseded by a mixed system
In which tho corridor nnd ward system Is
partly used and the cottngo system Is used.
Ho concluded, from his Investigations, that
In tho future thero will ho greater liberty
granted to the patleuts In Insano hospitals,
as tbo tendency is nil In thnt direction:
that whero reforms aro not accomplished
It Is not becauso of lack of progresslvcness
on tho pnrt of tho superintendents, but
because they have not the facilities: that
many of tho reforms aimed nt In American
hospl'tnls have fnlled becauso they have
not gone fnr enough, while In others thero
hns been misdirection of effort; that there
Is a marked disposition to adopt generally
In this country tho mixed corridor anil col
ony system and that lu the future all hos
platls would be built nn this plan; and
furthor that nothing Is gained by provid
ing searato hospttnls for tho chronic nnd
acute Insnno cases.
