O. o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o big, stolen warrant is the one (and probably the only one) exception to this rule: Why? Is it a groundless reflection to say that the whole trans action has ear-marks which show that both banks were suspicious that there was something wrong about the sale of the warrant? i yA banker out in Harlan county some years ago borrowed some county funds money which" he knew was county funds without having, under the de pository law, a legal right to receive it. Both the banker who borrowed it and the county treasurer who loaned it, as far as can be ascertained, were men of good reputation and standing in the community in which they resided. Un fortunately for them this simple little transaction of loaning and borrowing was In contravention of section 124 of our criminal code. The banker and the county treasurer were Doth sent to the penitentiary. It must be con fessed that our supreme court has at different times in the past placed a little different construction on the legal effect of a bank deposit. The case of State ex rel First National Bank vs. Bartley, 39 Neb. 353, declares a de posit of state funds to be a loan; the case of State vs. Hill. 47 Neb. 456, de clares that the term 'loan' has no ap plication to the deposit of state funds in a bank while in the case in re State Treasurer's settlement, 51 Neb. 117, the holding is that a deposit in a legal ly constituted depository is in sub stance and legal effect a loan. Un doubtedly the rule is, as regards a gen eral deposit, that the depositor be comes the creditor of the person re ceiving the. deposit. Mr. Millard, as president of the bank, borrowed this state money from the state treasurer money which he knew should be deposited in a regularly des ignated depository bank. The state treasurer is now in the penitentiary, and Mr, Millard is in the United States senate. Is it a groundless reflection to say that no criminal prosecution was ever brought against Mr. Millard and that, under the . statute of limitations, it is now too late to do so? It requires higher powers of discrimination lian are possessed by the average mortal to see any material difference between the acts of Banker Mills and those of Banker Millard in the two transactions mentioned. The parallel is not com plete, because Mills was prosecuted. C. Q. DE FRANC a. willingly be Bade parti to Croufcl ttUonM against a rrpoUbi eitltea. however much they rsay oppose Liza politically.

For a iocs; time, however, the repat-acae oSHcial wilfully disobeyed the law. The the state treasurer. Hill. had. aa there is good reaaca to believe (al though tbe fact has not been clearly proven), shortly prior to the Capital National hank failure, about $180,000 of trust funds deposited in that bank. He was disobeying the depository law with reference to his curent funds at that time, and not a dollar of state fund were deposited in depository banks. The officials of the bank knew that a crash wa coming. If the bank failed. Treasurer Hill and his bond would be responsible for the trust funds lost in the crash. So an at tempted and pretended depository bond wa fixed up, containing the largest possible amount of "straw;" it was cot. In fact, a bond at all, viewed In a legal light. Governor Crounse, who then occupied the executive chair, approved tne pre tended bond of the Capital National bank a a state depository and Treas urer Hill pretended to deposit in that bank about fiSO.000 of sinking funds. Beyond a doubt no deposit of such funds was ever made, out the bank simply transferred .the trust funds it was holding for Treasurer Hill to the sinking fund account and pretended that it had received a deposit of sink ing funds. In any event, not long af ter, the bank failed and the state lost llbO.000 of It money, supposed to be sinking funds. - Litigation grew out of these trans actions, but it is cot necessary at this time to go into details regarding it, further than to say that it was not determined at the time the republican legislature of 1895 convened. Here wa a chance to do some smooth work under cover of doing what appeared on the surface to be a proper act. . Al though the J 180.000 had been lost In the Capital National bank failure, yet the state up to that time denied that it had lost anything; if any state money had been lost the state treasurer had lost it, and he wa responsible. No proper depository bond having been given by the Capital National bank. the treasurer could cot fall back on that a a defense. The mcney was not ia fact lost la a state depository, be cause the Capital National bank had never complied with the law and was cot a duly authorized state depository. Accordingly, several smooth republi can lawyers lobbied through an amend ment to one of the appropriation bills, appropriating enough money to cover the amount lost In the Capital Na tional Bank failure. The appropria tion waa for $180,101.75 out of the gen eral fund to "reimburse the state sink ing fund for money "tied up in the Capital National bank." Here was an official recognition that the state had lost some money; hence Treasurer Hill wa guiltless. And the supreme court record show that this appropriation was the key that released him from re sponsibility. Trere waa no cession to reimburse the sinking fund, even if the state was compelled to lose the I1S0.000. The state bond would cot be due for over two years and there was ample left in the sinking fund to keep the interest paid op. Under Treasurer . Meserve's regime all the 'state bon is were paid off and a surplus left to bn turned back Into the general fund yet not a dollar of that $180,000 appropriation ever paid any interest or principal on state bonds. Hardly was the ink dry on the gov ernor's signature to the appropriation bill which contained this $180,000 item when Treasurer Bartley had a voucher made out in his individual name as claimant of the $180,000; the deputy secretary of state approved it, and Deputy Auditor Hedlund audited it and drew the warrant. Then Bartley hied himself to Omaha to sell it. There was no necessity of drawing a warrant to make this transfer from the general fund to the sinking fund, or, if a war rant were drawn, it should have been Immediately registered in the name of the sinking fund and held in trust by the treasurer until it should be called for payment, at which time both inter est and principal should have iseen taken from the general fund to swell the sinking fund. -But Bartley wanted to sell the warrant. He had ideas. It wasn't such a warrant as could be bounght by any little warrant broker or bank and he had to go to a big bank. This he did. Now, the World-Herald may not have overdrawn Its picture of Senator Millard. Again, it may. He doubtless has a great many friends over the state. He doubtless has a good repu tation, aside from the questionable dealings in this particular transac tion. But there are several things about this warrant transaction which do not throw any large-sized halo about his head. ' The warrant was drawn in the name of J. S. Bartley. That was all. Not Bartley, treasurer, but plain Bartley. If 'issued at all It ought not to have been drawn In his name, but simply to "sinking fund." That is another evi dence of republican incompetency or worse. Mr. Millard runs a big bank, but not so big that he would cash an $180,000 warrant withing giving It more than a passing glance. The warrant reads as follows: State of Nebraska. $180,101.75. No. 95241. Office of Auditor of Public Accounts Lincoln, Neb., April 10, 1895. Treasurer of Nebraska. Pay to J. S. Bartley or order one hundred and eighty thousand one hun dred and one 75-100 dollars for to reim burse the 6tate sinking fund In accord ance with legislative appropriation ap proved April 10, 1895, and charge gen eral fund. EUGENE MOORE, s Auditor of Public Accounts. P. O. HEDLUND, DepuSy. Countersigned: J. S. BARTLEY, State Treasurer. Now, Mr. Millard could have had but one of two ideas about the warrant at first: Either the warrant belonged to Bartley as an Individual, or It was held by him in trust as state funds. If the Educate Your Bowels. Your bowels can be trained as well as your muscles or your brain. Cas carets Candy Cathartic train your bowels to do right. Genuine tablets stamped C. C. C. Never sold in bulk. All druggists, ioc former, then the most natural thing would be to inquire what service Bart ley had rendered" which entitled him to such a large sum. Further reading of the warant Itself showed that it did not belong to Bartley personally; and the court has held that Mr. Millard was charged with notice that it was state funds. It is quite likely that he had no suspicion that Bartley had made up his mind to steal the whole amount; but after the sale had been negotiated with the New York bank, and Bartley had deposited tbe amount of face and premium In Mr. Millard's bank to Bartley's personal account, Mr Millard knew that he was assisting Bartley to violate the state depository law and was aiding Bartley to defraud the state out of its rightful Interest on the amount deposited. He certain ly knew this much or it is very evi dent that it doesn't require even com mon horse sense to build up a big banking business. As 'to the circumstances surround Ing the sale of the warant, the populist plank errs technically regarding the "indorsement." As this word is tech nically understood, it would mean that Mr. Millard signed his name as in- i dorsee on the back of the warrant. This he did not do. On the back of the warrant is Mr. Millard's name writ ten by somebody else and In light pen cil. That is all, save for Bartley's own signature in Ink. And that is the dark feature of the whole transaction. Or dinarlly, and in perhaps every other case except this, when the payee of a warrant sells it to a bank, he indorses; then if the bank transfers to another bank, it indorses, usually with rubber stamp as is customary with nearly all banks; the final purchaser has the war rant registered, if that has not been done before, and holds it until called for payment. Then the custom Is for the bank holding the warrant, if an eastern bank, to make a rubber stamp indorsement to some bank in Omaha or Lincoln and send to that bank for collection; the receiving bank also stamps, its indorsement and presents to the state treasurer, who pays the war rant and retains it on file in his office. But this big, stolen warrant is an ex ception to the almost Invariable rule. There is nothing on its back to Indi cate that any other person than J. S. Bartley ever had It in his possession, so far as legal indorsements go. The lightly pencilled name of J. H. Millard on the warrant's back was the only clue which finally brought the whole transaction to light. Mr. Millard, when confronted with the facts, told the whole story and he is to be compli mented for his frankness, at least. Why , did the Omaha National bank and the New York bank so carefully avoid indorsing the warrant? Take a look at the cancelled warrants in the state treasury. You will find, thou sands of them with their backs literal ly covered with bank stamp indorse ments; warrants which were sold by the payees, passed from one bank to another in the course of business, per haps were registered and -held by a bank; later, when called for payment, rubber stamped and forwarded for col lection through one or more other banks to the state treasurer.

Dear Chesslsts: I have been chosen to manage a game of political chess, having been selected by the people s in dependent party of Nebraska as chair man of the .state central committee. In playing this sort of chess, exhibi tions simultaneous or sans voir are ex tremely difficult and should not be at tempted. Hence, I am obliged to ask the indulgence of my friends who play the truly scientific and more enjoy able game of Phllidor and Morphy, Lasker and Pillsbury, until about tne middle of November. It is barely pos sible that part of the time I may have opportunity to wield a pair of 18-inch scissors and give my readers a glimpse of what is appearing in my chess ex changes; but, to be on the safe side, let us declare a "lock-out" in tnis depart ment until after election.

A file of this excellent magazine reached me the other day. The editor advises me that a U. S. $2 note enclosed In a letter addressed "The Editor, Brit ish Chess Magazine, 38 Park Cross St., Leeds, England, will secure it post free for 12 months; and I am sure no chess player will feel that he ever made a better investment of two dollars. Of course I can't agree with the F. C. M. in its violent attacks on Frank lin K. Young and his books altho I am free to confess it is doing a great work for him in the way of advertis ing his books, for people will buy the books most mercilessly attacked by the critics. I was a little amused at the resent ment shown by the B. C. M. because Mr. Young' lays down the proposition that all of the pieces are of equal strength; and its assertion that Mr. Y. "appears to have no clear idea of It at all either in chess or war or . mathe matics." Now, mobility Is one thing and the power to kill is quite another. The queen's mobility is vastly greater than that of a pawn; but the meanest pawn., when he gets. near enough, can slay an adverse piece with the same ease as does the queen. Young's mili tary training makes him a stickler for exactness In expression, and.it seems to me he has not failed here. But the B. C. M. deserves the sup port of all chess enthusiasts the world over. No better magazine can be found for the correspondence player. Every Issue contains many weir played and well annotated correspondence games for our British cousins know the benefits of correspondence play.
