The prosecution. of Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Ku kunft. by Count Kuno von Moltke. who Is attempting to vindicate himself in the accusations brought out at the pre vious hearing , of the Harden-Von Moltke case, lias been postponed until next Thursday, because Herr Harden is too 111 to appear In court. Count von Moltke and many other titled wit nesses were in court today. Prince Philip zu Bulenburg. who at fine time was the most brilliant and the most powerful personality at the Imperial court, is In a pitiable condi tion, bent and tottering, his features set and mask-like. In the retiring room he sat with his elbows on a table and his head resting on his hands. . Count von Moltke also was shocking ly changed. Instead of bis previous severe military erectness, his shoulders today curved forward and his head pro truded. giving an appearance of ex treme weariness; his cheek-bones were prominent and his eyes sunken. In court he sat heavily forward in his arm-chair, staring at the floor, as If unwilling: to meet the curious glances of th crowd.

DEPOSITORS GO TO COURT Oppose Appointment of Receiver and Will Incorporate ' to Keep Bank Alive Colton Securities Were Burned In the Great. Fire. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16. James Treadwell, until Friday a director In the Safe Deposit & Trust Company, and R. B. Fry, another director, were in court this morning as witnesses, when J. Dalzell Brown and.W. J. Bartnett came up for preliminary examination. Mr. Treadwell denied that he controlled the bulk of the stock of the corporation. He refused to discuss the loans which were made to him or to companies in which he was interested, but admitted that he was no longer a member of the board of directors. William C. Peyton has like wise resigned and Fry declares that he stands ready to take the same action whenever his resignation Is desired. : A complaint in Intervention was filed this morning In the suit of Attorney-General Webb and the Bank-Commissioner against the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company and its board of direc tors. The representatives of the state had brought suit for the appointment of a receiver, but the lntervenor, Frank W. Warren, who had J4000 on deposit In the bank at the time it suspended, prays that the petition be denied. Mr. Warren contends that the bank is not insolvent, but Is able to pay all its creditors and depositors the whole amount of money due them. He alleges that the appointment of a receiver at this time would be useless and would re sult in a waste of money. After the filing of the suit In Interven tion, Charles F. O'Callaghan and Milton T. U'Ren, attorneys for Mr. Warren stated that the suit was brought on be half of all the depositors, who desire to protect their interests in this manner. Tha depositors will incorporate in order that their claims may be better prose cuted. This was decided on at a meeting held this morning by the committee of 21. Another committee on rehabilitation was also selected, to look into the assets of the collapsed Institution, and In general pave the way toward carrying on the business of the bank. The privilege of further being at liberty In the custody of detectives for the pur pose of seeking bondsmen was today de nied to Brown and Bartnett. The detec tives today protested to - Judge Dunne against the further issuance of such or ders, declaring that they feared an at tack upon .their "prisoners' by some irre sponsible depositor. The hearing was continued until Wednesday morninr upon request of the District Attorney and against the protest of Bartnett. Brown today again denied that he ha knowledge of, or any part in, the relief of the Colton securities, or that he had eent them to New York. This, however, is at variance with a statoment said to have been made by him to the Bank Commissioners. According to Commis sioner Lynch, Bartnett stated that a part of the securities were destroyed lil the Are of April 18, 1906, and the remainder had been removed and deposited in a box with the Atlantic Trust Company In New York, to which both he and Walker had keys. Bartnett. declared untrue the report that he had drawn $200,000 from the bank a few days before it failed. Brown declined to make any statement beyond saying that he would tell his story when the time came, adding: "And I will not be ashamed to tell it, either." BROKEN BATfK REORGANIZED Oliver, Foreman of "Graft" Grand .Jury, Chosen President. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16. A com plete reorganization of the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company was ef fected today. The directors and officers tendered their resignations and a new set was promptly selected. B. P.

A. iYoung. A. Aronson, B. P. Oliver, Louis Saronla and David F. Walker. it was stated that Walker was asked to remain in the board of directors in order that he might assist the new officers in reorganizing the bank. Walker is ac quainted with the New York end of the bank's affairs and the New York office desired to be enlightened on this phase of the business. Church Stands by Jenkins. NEW YORK, Deo. 16.
