Robert H. Holme. rnemKr of the last
legislature, author of the fire warden bill
and pre-prlmary candidate for the demo
crats nomination for the council from the
Fourth ward. U a candidate for the posi
tion of fire warden and has told the mayor
that If appointed he will take Ms chances
on getting paid.-
City Attorney Bumam believe the money
to pay the salary of the fire warden, the
new office created by the lat legislature,
mut come from the general fund, Inaa
much as the legislature failed to designate
any fund and he Is also of the opinion that
this fund could withstand a drain of S7W
to pay the new official for the balance of
the year. The general fund Is now In a
bnd condition, but It Is figured that tlicie
will be more money later In the year.
Mayor Dahlman haa made no promise aa
to whom he will appoint to the new posi
tion In the event the city attorney advise
him thht he can nominate a man for fire
warden at this time, but It Is generally
understK)d that Mr. H01tr.ee will get the
place.
Holme started out to make a strenuous
campaign agalnat Councilman Johnaon, but
a ahort time before the prlmarlee he was
pulled out largely through the Influence
of the mayor. It waa understood at that
time tht the mayor had promised him a
good position If he would lie down.
The atate constitution bars any member
of the legislature from holding any other
state office or any office appointive by the
governor during hla legislative term, but
City Attorney Burnam saya he falla to
find where tills section would hare any
bearing on a city office and he bellevea
Mr. Holme could take the position, despite
the fact that he la the author of the bill
which created the office.
Should the mayor make an appointment
the appointee must be confirmed by the
Board cf Fire and Police Contmisaionara.
William F. Cowger, republican, la another
candidate for the position.

a rush of the IS.OOO banka at the smaller

Into effect until the first of next month
no banks have yet shown any Indication of

that any great number of banka will take

MRS. CLEVELAND ON STAND
Widow of Former President Testifies
in Brandenburg- Case.
DEFENDANT IS LAST WITNESS
Denies He Told Flnley Cleveland Hud
Signed Flrt Typewritten Docu
mentSecond Photographer
Not Preseat.
NEW YORK, June Attorneys for
Broughton Brandenburg, charged with
grand larceny, In connection with the al
leged spurious letter of Grover Cleveland,
placed their final witnesses on the stand
and closed th case for the defnse.
George E. Fleming, a lawyer, said he hsd
seen the artiele with defendant's signature
attached, on June 4, 190. A stenographer,
for the prosecution, had previously testi
fied to typ'tis the article June 10. Ran
dolph E. Lewis, Sunday editor of the New
York Heeatd, testified he had the signed
article tn hi possession before August 16.
On cross-examination Mr. Lewis stated
that the article he had was a ribbon, not
a carbon copy. Brandenburg had testified
that Mr. Cleveland signed a carbon copy.
In rebuttal, the prosecution called Charles
R. Miller, editor of the Times, who de
clared that Mr. Cleveland's signature In
evidence, was the one attached to the ar
ticle when It was received by the Times.
It had been claimed by the defense that
the signature before the court, which had
been pronounced a forgery, waa not the
one originally attached to the Times ar
ticle. Mrs, Cleveland on S'ud,
Mrs. Cleveland .attired In deep mourn
ing, was called. She was asked as to her
esaminatlon of Mr. Cleveland's signature
submitted to her in the New 'York Times
office. In the presence of Mr. Hastings,
one of the executor of Mr. Cleveland's
estate. She testified that Mr. Hastings had
not told her that the signature she ex
amined waa not the one he saw on the
article when It first came to him. Mrs.
Cleveland was not cross-examined.
President John Flnley of the College of
the City of New York testified that
Brandenburg had told him that he
(Brandenburg), had transcribed Mr. Cleve
land's notes of the article and had taken
them back and had them signed. Branden
burg had told him, Mr. Flnley said, that
there were two photographers present when
the article was signed.
Brandenburg, himself, took the stand
as the last witness In the case. Hla attor
ney asked him:
"Did you hear President Flnley's state
ment that you said Mr. Cleveland signed
the first typewritten document you took
him. Is that true?"
"Absolutely false," was the reply.
"Did you tell him a second photographer
was present?"
"I did not," said Brandenburg.
Both sides then rested. A motion to dis
miss the complaint was denied.. m
The end of the trial drew near today,
with the commencement of the summing
up, by the attorney for the defense and
prosecution. The case will go to the Jury
tomorrow.
Oswald N. Jacoby, summing up for
Brandenburg, referred at length to the
fact that F. S. Hastings, executor of the
Cleveland estate, though called before the
grand Jury, was not called as a witness by
the district attorney. He declared there
had been powerful Interests at work to
attach the authenticity of the article, and
said that former secretary of the treasury,
John G. Carlisle and President Finley of
the City college "had made up their mind
to discredit the article, if possible," and
that "the only way open to them was to
attack the only living man who really
knows whether Mr. Cleveland wrote it or
not."
