Slightly Mixed.?The late Dean Sthnley tells of a clergyman In the north of England who was extremely deaf, but made every effort to disguise Ms affliction from his parishioners by pretending to -hear everything that went on around him. One Sunday he directed the clerk to mak?j the announcement in church that (a) anybody who had a baby to baptize might bring it to the vestry after the service, and (b) that the new hymn books \v9uld be used the following Sunday. ' *The clerk inadvertently reversed the order of the announcements and ended by saying that anybody who had a baby to baptize might bring it to the vestry after ^ervlce, whereupon the vicar added, to the astonishment of the congregation: "And I may say for the benefit of those who have not got them, that they may be obtained at the vestrv after the service, plain black ones for a shilling apiece and extra ones with red backs for two and sixpence." 'Didn't Liks His Looks. ? Ernest Lawford, the English comedian, who ufced to be a lawyer, said that while in the English criminal courts every effort is made to assign competent counsel to pauper criminals it does not fellow that these legal practitioners are of the same smart appearance as their more successful brethren. A bookmaker's clerk was recently on trial for murder and after he was placed in the dock, he turned to the policeman beside him and said, "I say, who's the Johnny iu the wig over there?" .^That's the barrister who's going to defend you,'r the policeman said. JThe defendant gazed long and critically at his newly appointed defender. "Dismal looking beggar, isn't he?" he.,'said.

The earth suddenly heaved and shook under the terrific impact of a German H. E. exploding near them. The old,timer cast a bored, professional glance at the spouting geyser of. dirt and steel fragments and remarked nonchalantly: "Nothin' but 'nothcr of them G. I. cans." "G. I. can, bunk!" howled the youngster, seeking to squirm yet deeper into the protecting bosom of mother earth. "Them's roi'.ln' kitchens." Still Saving.?It is extremely difficult to perstliade the restaurant proprietor that the necessity for food conservation has passed. Recently a customer called the waiter who had just finished serving him and pointed indignantly to the dish in front of him. "I ordered a portion of duck and green peas," he said. "Where's the duck?" The waiter examined the dish critically. ."Why, there it is, sir," he said, "right behind that other pea." Kee-rect!?General Parker and his j aide were traveling lrom one post to another on inspection. The general noted that the driver of the four-line team seemed to know his mules well and always addressed them name. "Get up dar, Tom! Frow yo'se'f inter dat collar, Sam! Steady dar, Jim!

He looked long and searchlngly, looked admiringly as well, foe, Kitty Marsfnlrs was certainly good to look upon. , IJe had known Jedro Marstalrs very intlmntely at Yale, and liked hlin imI raensely. A big, handsome, cleansouled sort of chap; general all-around good fellow, good at study, sports and play. His marriage to Kitty had been the culmination of a romantic love affair, and Jarredson shared the opinion their social world thinking that the marriage would be an Ideally happy one. Just three months had the happiness lasted. Then Kitty, accompanied wily by her aunt, had gone to Aiken for the spring season?and slipped away from there very quietly nnd gone to some nine ooscure w?ivm iunn, where she had remained until now, when she had returned to her former social world?its very latest divorcee. Jedro Mnrstalrs had been among the first to join the fighting forces. He had been "over the top," and through letters received from mutual friends "over there" Jarredson learned that Mnrstalrs had won the croIx de guerre for distinctive bravery under fire, saving, by his quick wit and action, his entire company from slaughter. He had suffered severe personal Injuries, however, and upon his partial recovery, had been Invalided home. That day, Jarredson, during a few hours' stop-over In the city en route from Washington to attend the dance his wife was giving that night at their country home, naa run inio juarstairs, and not knowing that Kitty was among his wife's house guests, hnd insisted upon Marstalrs coming home with him, Mrs. JaiTedson always had n welcome for any if Jimmy's friends, but there was consternation in her eyes when she saw who the unexpected guest was. "It's all right, dear," Jimmy had assured her, confidently. "Jedro didn't want to come on account of the house party; but I Insisted, explaining that they were all leaving tomorrow, and that we'd have a quiet, restful weekend together. He finally agreed? stipulating that he'd have dinner in his rooms tonight and be allowed to eachew the dance." The explanation had pacified Mrs. .Tarredson, and she had gone down to dinner carefree and happy. Dancing was not to begin until late. The guests had an hour of freedom and were generally scattered. Kitty at the end of the card game thought she would like a stroll through the beautiful grounds, and ran upstairs for a cape. All out-of-doors wns Dnrneu in ine light of the extra hour of day, and Kitty chose the flower-banked winding path that led down to the rirer. At the last turn In the road, at a point from where one could, most enjoyably, watch the sunset, she found several very spacious garden chairs, and Into one she cuddled. She hated sunsets. Why had she come? And tonight?of all nights! The anniversary of her engagement to Jed. Just such another scene as this? the river hank, the garden chair, just big enough for two; the music of the softly lapping water, and the rn- j dlantly beautiful glow of the setting sun! "The glow of her love," he had said, "would never let the sun set In his life. It would be shining for him always In her eyes." And she, loving deeply, had believed hiui. And all the time, even after they were married, there was that other girl. Well, she thought bitterly, she had shown him. The increasing twilight warned her that she must return. With head held high, she strode up the path with the air of an injured queen. And there hefore her! There?at the curve of the road, watching the sunset?was the material form and semblance of her thoughts. Was it an apparition, or was it Jedro in the flesh? Her Inarticulate "O-o-ohl" caused Mm to turn quickly. With bared head and rigid dignity he stepped aside, waiting for her to pass. But Kitty stood motionless, his eyes holding hers. He, too, she thought, had remembered this night's sunset. And why? The next Instant the fur cape had slipped from her shoulders to the ground. He sprang forward to restore It. For a second he held it irresolutely?then, replacing it upon her shoulders, crushed her in his arms. "Kitty, Kitty." he murqiureri, "love of my heart, why did you not trust me?" "Jeddy?don't?don't?reproach me," Kitty cried brokenly. "I, too, have suffered, because of my pride, but .Teddy,' she snid, almost whlsperlngly, ' "I've always loved you?loved you most. I truly think, when my anger against you was deepest." He kissed her In answer. Kls?ed her hungrily?again and again. "We'll begin anew, dear one." he j said, "acri now at this, our sunset j hour, v.e'll solemnly promise each other never again to let the sun sat on our anger."

(Continued from Page Five). drawn against anyone's aocount. The examiner further stated that if the cash had been balanced up it would have shown $7,500 deficit to offset these two checks. I He then showed how a check from the Lancaster Mercantile company of March 11, 1921, took up these two checks of December 28, 1920. He said that, therefore, there was an actual shortage in the bank's cash of $7,500 between these two dates. Mr. Schcchtcr said that he Interviewed Mr. Jones after he had made the examination and found these checks; but said that MV. Jones gave him no satisfactory explanation of them. Cross Examination. Upon cross examination Mr. Sapp asked the witness why he had come all the way down here to try to convict Mr. Jones, and the witness said the comptroller of the currency had ins*?"*ted him that it was his duty to come here. Mr. Sapp grew somewhat vitriolic in J his attacks on the witness and the wit[ ness replied in kind. Several hot words passed and the court instructed them { that they would have to control themselves better. "What business have you got down here anyway ?" queried the attorney. "It is my business as a federal bank examine* to safeguard the peoI pie of this community in their bank ' deposits," replied the witness. The lawyer then asked a line of questions to show that Mr. Schcchter had been unusually close to Leroy Springs for some months and when the witness stated that he had been in conference with Mr. Springs even before defense counsel knew of it, Mr. Sapp asked in somewhat agitated tones: "Something Further Beck." "O, there is something further back than we thought?" Vou bet there is," shouted back the bank examiner. After some argument as to what the bank examiner had to do with the Lancaster Mercantile company, the attorney asked him what he meant by going into the mercantile's affairs. He replied that he only wont into the mercantile's affairs as far as those affairs entered into the transactions of the bank. The attorney asked him about a trip] that Leroy Springs made to Washington and the witness told of this trip. Affidavits were then produced, signed by George Ferguson and B. Y. Funderburk, in which they stated that statements made by Mr. Schechter in his report on the affairs of the First National bank, as it affected them as borrowers, was incorrect. Upon examina- j tion by Mr. Sapp, Mr. Schechter said thai thp affidavits were not in line with the statements those men made to him and as were incorporated in his report. He said the affidavits were untrue, when asked a direct question by Mr. Sapp as to which statement was true: i. o. the bank examiner's report or the affidavits. Meeting in Charlotte. The bank examiner told of a meeting in the Mecklenburg hotel in Charlotte, between Mr. Schechter, W. H. Twitty, if the Charlotte National bank, and Mr. Rice, private secretary to Leroy Springs. It was then brought out that VV. H. Twitty, Bascom Heath and the defendant, C. D. Jones, are the executors of the estate of the late B. D. Heath, of Charlotte. Mr. Sapp wanted to know if, as a resu.t of that conference in the Mecklen)ui'g hotel, a part of the funds of the B. D. Heath estate were not moved from the First National bank of Lancaster, and Mr. Schechtcr replied that he said nothing about any such transactions. He said that if they had been moved they had been moved for some >ther reason than that conference. He idmitted talking to W. H. Twitty about the deposit in the First National bank of Lancaster. "Why were you always buddying with1 Lcroy^ Springs?'* queried Mr. Sapp. More Sparring. "if vou'll admit this record. I'll show you!" Mr. Schechter threw back to him. "Yes, but I'm not going to admit it," said the attorney. "I didn't think you would." .ho replied. "I give you credit for more sense than that," was the bank examiner's retort. Upon re-examination by D. W. Robinson, of counsef, for the state, Mr. Schechter stated that he has been a bank examiner for about 11 years. He showed that he has a right to go anywhere in his district at any time and make any kind of examinations, either J oublic or private, that he can for the [ benefit of depositors in national banks. Following his release from the witness chair the state rested its case, after a conference in one of the private rooms, just in the rear of the judge's stand. C. D. Jones Takes Stand. Couneil for the defendant placed their client, Q. I). Jones, upon the stand as the first witness for the de fense. He remained upon the stand until the noon recess, upon direct examination, and was prilled by.the state during the afternoon session. Mr. Jones explained that his position formerly was president and general manager of the Lancaster Mercantile company, being made a director February 10, 1916, and elected as an officer November 7, 1917, and that he was "fired out," July 11, 1921. He was called ,unon to explain the two checks upon which he stands indicted; one for $5,000, the other for $2,500. He stnted that one check was drawn on the Lancaster Mercantile company to cover the two checks, stati ing that he had carried the account in his own name for the mercantile company and declaring that there would have been but one check if there had been a dozen separate charges against the mercantile company. One check, he said, tVas drawn to cover the entire transaction. He stated that he had advanced $2,500 of his own money for a margin for the company and * that he took this amount and credited the other $5,000 against the Lancaster Mercantile company. Says Springs Knew. He had all of the necessary books of the First National bank and showed the entries, which he stated were in their proper form, and representing the entire transaction. He told of buying 200 bales of cotton for the Lancaster Mercantile company. stating that Leroy Springs not only knew of (he transactions, hut that Leroy Springs himself bought the 500 I bales for the I^ancaster Mercantile company at the same time. "Leroy Springs knew we were lontr on cotton, for in addition to this 700 bales, we had about 300 bales of spot cotton on hand," the witness testified. "I wrs informed that Springs had i himself been hit for around $800,000 on J cotton, and he made immediate call on j the I-ancaster Mercantile company for I $.10,000 which 1 had placed to his crodj it in the Hank of Commerce, at Baltij more. The witness stated that on Novem| her 27, 1921. the T/monster Mercantile company drew a check to Leroy Springs for $1,000 in favor of fJwathj mev Co., to cover margins on 100 1 bales of cotton; that this check was not cashed by Gwathmey & Co., until February 2, 1921, "If I misappropriated funds from December 28 until March 11: then Leroy Springs misappropriated funds from November 27 until February 2, the date the check was cashed," said the witness. "That check was drawn for another firm and it seems they did not get it until after all this trouble started," said the witness. Challenges Scott's Statement. The witness challenged the statements of G. C. Scott, of Charlotte, certified public accountant, who was ' on the stand Saturday, stating that some of the statements made by Mr. Scott were untrue. This related to the 57,500 check. Mr. Jones stated that it was another 57,500 check that Mr. Scott asked him nhout. He stated what check it was and what it was for. He declined to show Mr. Scott any checks of the Lancaster Mercantile company, btecausc he honored no names with the exception of Mr. Springs, Mr. Stevens and the manager of the mercantile company, hence he would show Mr. Scott nothing without a written order from one of these three gentlemen. In direct answer to a question from counsel, the witness stated that he had never been allowed to "see the books of the Lancaster Mercantile company until a few nights ago, and that upon order of the court. Who Sees the Books. He testified that Mr. Rice, private secretary to Le'roy Springs, went into the booka whenever he wanted to, stating: "Yes, Rice had access to the books. I saw him coming out of the store the other night at 10 o'clock," said the witness. The witness stated that when he did see the books that items had been copied or changed overnight. One specific item, he declared, had been placed in the books between 10 o'clock Tuesday night, when he (Jones) and his counsel had copied a certain record, and when the same record was handed to them again the next morning. He stated, when asked about the $50,000 paid to Leroy Springs, that: 'Yes, and I hope to get that back by civil action." He stated: "If I had wanted to put over anything on the mercantile company I would have put that other 100 bales in too. I bought 100 bales under mv own name, for the operator in Mr. Spring's private office." Profit of $400. The witness showed by the records that the 200 bales which he had bought for the Lancaster Mercantile company were finally sold at a profit of some tdna "And," said the witness, "if they are charging: me with misappropriation, why don't they take off that $400 from the original $7,500, as the mercantile company got the profit?" He said the cotton was sold upon order of Leroy Springs, and that Mr. Springs held to his other 500 boles and made a bigger profit. He said that he was being tried criminally for misappropriation of $7,500, and was being sued civilly for $10,134 upon the same transactions. He said there were five warrants out for him and that there were civil actions for some $163,000 against him. They are trying to convict me criminally so as to close my mouth in the courts and then take all of my property away from me," declared the witness In referring to the criminal actions. , lie rnid that Springs had accused him of buying cotton'celow the market nrice and selling it ,to the Lancaster cotton millH at as much as 10. cents profit on the pound. Bought Low;..iSold High. The witness explained this by sayv>o/i Hrkiifirhf Antfnn whon it was low and that i^hnd been bought by the mills when it Was high. "Sometimes we mfidc as high as 10 cents profit on the cotton," said the witness; "but we always paid the market price when we bought it. The fact that it went up and that the mills had to pay more for it, was good business for the Lancaster Mercantile company. I was working for the Lancaster Mercantile company and not for the Lancaster mills. We made $43,000 which I hope to collect from the I^oncaster cottori mills under civil suit," said the witness. He told of being thrown out of his position on July 11, last, and of a conversation with Leroy Springs when the latter said, according to the witness, ' I've got you Where I want you now." He charged that Bank Examiner Schechter, Leroy Springs and others were in a conspiracy to ruin him, and then contradicted much of the testimony of Mr. Schechter. He said that Mr. Schechter took the two checks in question and did not return them, untik forced to do so by counsel f&r the bank in Washington. He said he never gave any pel-mission to Mr. Schechter to take the checks i f V* Him Afternoon Ses*ion. At this period the court recessed until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Upon the re-opening of court the witness continued with the direct examination. He denied telling' Frank Barrett that these accounts with Munds, Rogers & Stackpole were his individual accounts. (Barrett swore Saturday that Jones so stated.) As to the certificate of sales from a New York house wherein the losses to the Lancaster Mercantile company were $7,500 on a transaction of 1,000 bales, the witness declareu that the original had been tampered with. He showed the jury where the word "cotton" had been erased and the word "mercantile" inserted instead. "I wish I could see the books of the compauy that handled this transac" " 4 - -.14 ??.wl 1 Ixnllntrn null, niiiu nil- wuuusa, nuu wvi.vtv it would show the loss was sustained by the Lancaster Cotton mills and charged to thi Lancaster Mercantile company, instead." He then introduced sales slips showing the movement of the 200 hales of cotton involved in the trial, showing how they were carried forward upon each "tender" day and re-entered upon another hid. and of how the whole transaction with the loss was charged off on June 30 to make the semi-annual statement of the Lancaster Mercantile company, and that how after that, the profit of $400 was made by the subsequent sales of the cotton. At this point Attorney Sapp attempted to shown that there was a conspiracy to wreck the defendant, financially. socially, etc.. and upon objection hy the state the court sustained the objection. Trading in Jones' Name. The witness then showed a profit of some $2,K00 made for H. B. Ludington, operator in Leroy Springs' private office. declaring that the transaction was carried on under the name of *'C. D. Jones." "Here is the check showing: that 1 paid hi-* this amount." stated the witness, "and I have also made other transactions for him and several others, trading under my own name. I pay them their winning's and I expect them to pav their losses as well," he concluded. ! The witness claimed that as president and general manager and half owner of the Lancaster Mercantile! Company, he had a right to trade fori the company in this way, "and," he i said, "if I lost it was no misappropriation, ot' funds." Cross Examination. /ifnoc ovo minn t Inn wa a mncilpt cd by ex-Judge Mendel Smith and con- ; sumed the remainder of the afternoon session. Air. Smith took the witness at 3:40 o'clock in the afternoon and the session for the afternoon ended at 6 o'clock. Among the first questions asked of the witness was: "Is there a single instance in which .a similar transaction was carried on, j where you traded for the company | | and traded under your name, or where any other member of ^the f.rm so traded and where when the loss was sustained it was transferred to the account of the Lancaster Mercantile company?" The witness said that he did not remember a similar transaction, but , would not swear that there had been no other ones like it. He testified, however, that he had i carried other accounts in his name for different people and showed checks for them, as well as referring again to the transaction for Mr. Springs' operator. A'.ways Pay and Collect. He showed a transaction while In j New York which amounted, to some >500 in which George T. Stevens and [ another friend each shared with him and showed the cancelled checks to the effect that ho had paid them, reading a letter from one showing that "I really thought you were Joking and had no idea you included me in the deal." "I always pay the winnings and I always collect the losings In my transactions; I act on the square,' declared the witness. At this time there was right much of a ripple fo amusement created when, after Smith had declared that if required to post a bond in the sum of >300,000 he would "either have to go to jail or take the bankruptcy act." Judge Spiith informed him that he would not have such a bond to post. "Let me ask you a question?" said the witness. Judge Smith indicated that he might do so. . "If you had asked for that bond, how tnuch yould you have asked the court to p!ace me upder?" The audience laughed and then Judge Smith replied:' "I would have asked a sufficient amount to have safeguarded Colonel Springs' assets and to have been Just to you.' The witness then was put through the line of questions that had been put by the counsel on tne direct examination, in which the fight in the office of the Lancaster Mercanti'e company was refemd to and other matters regarding the attempt at getting an audit of the books. Shut Out of Offico. lie testified that H. R. Ride, Mr. Spring's secretary, had got into his (Jones') office and had put a spring lock on it so that even he (Jones) couldn't get itno it. He admitted on cross-examination 1 that all the time the >7,500 indebtedness was outstanding against the Lancaster Mercanti'e company, that the company had around >25,000 on deposit in the First Nationa bank of Lancaster and that the amount could hav& i been paid at any timo the* bank had seen fit to call for'it. He slated that he was very much hurt by the attitude of John T. StevI n.iir,,,, ninimoft had "deserted" him. "I would not have cared if Loroy Springs had. never spoken to me," said 1 the witness, "hut John T. Stevens and myself have been friends ever since boyhood, and that part of It hurt me very much. I cannot understand why he has turned against me as he has." The afternoon session closed with the defendant still on the stand, with the indication that n good pai't of tomorrow's session will be taken up in continuing his cross-examination. No statement was forthcoming as to how many witnesses for the defense will take the stand, though the state will place Col. Springs and John T. .Stevens on the stand to contradict some of the statements made by Mr. Jones, it was stated. ? All the income tax blanks are out now. We who are about to lie salute you. r SILKS!

Leon Trotsky, soviet minister of war, addressing, an extraordinary session on the Moscow soviet, a few days ago, on the subject or the uenoa conference. presented documentary, newspaper and circumstantial evidence designed to show threatening interventionist and counter revolutionary activities against Russia this spring. For perhaps the first time Trotzky included American capitalists, with "Paris and London" as behind the curtain schemes particularly in the Caucasus where the said Baku oil was the motive behind foreign Capitalists who he declared were backing former Grand Duke Nicholas. Although reasserting Russia's desire for peace Trotsky's speech struck a militant note and through his address he advised preparations of the Red army. The war minister paid tribute to the humanitarian work of thp Arneri can relief administration which he raid was feeding ten times as many famine sufferers as all the European relief agencies combined. "But who do we praise Dr. Frltjof Nansen and only express gratitude to the American administration?" he asked rhetorically. "Because we don't know what America wants. Some officials higher in the American relief administration have been opponents to the soviet government. The day when America openly declares she will not support Kolchaklsm will be a treat holiday In Russia. Then the significance of the American relief administration's work will be really known. TROUBLE wiTH AFRICANS. British Authorities Kill Twenty and Wound Thirty. Twenty natives were killed and thlr ty wounded at Nairobi, British East Africa,' Thursday, in fighting: which followed demonstrations over the arrest of the Indian agitator Thuku, says a Central News dispatch to London. Thuku was arrested Wednesday and trouble immediately followed. About 1,000 natives armed with sticks assembled before the police station and demanded his release, but were dispersed by police forces who used bayonets. Earlyi yesterday a strike of house boys and other native workers wan mnounced and further disturbances occurred in which' large numbers from the surrounding district participated. Mobs halted riknhaws and forced all Europeans to alight and walk. Tire efforts of armed police to clear the streets failed. When the situation became menacing the riot act was read and the demonstrators were exhorted to dispcrs? iiuietly. Instead, they advanced toward the police palisade, waving flags and shouting. Women were used as shields by the men to delay the police fire. Meanwhile military forces had arrived. When the mob attempted to rush the palisade the troops were ornrrea iu Are. Seeing fifty of their number cut down by the bullets, the remainder of the mob stampeded. The demonstrations then ce.ased. Willing to Arbitrate.?Thomas F.
