New Haven and a shorter one at Port
Chester on the return trip to New
Tork. was one of comparative ease
for the Republican candidate, the calls
that, were made upon him In Brooklyn

continued long enough to give managers
and participants some concern. The rain
fall ceased, however, some time before
the parade was scheduled to start, and
the function was carried out with all the
elaborateness planned. Similarly success
ful and enthusiastic were the meetings
of the night, particularly those In the
Clermont Rink and the Academy of
Music, where Mr. Taft made his principal
addresses.

the campaign issues. In which he held
uppermost the Importance of the main
tenance of the protective principle and
the rehabilitation of business confidence.
The speech was punctuated by the Tale
yell, which ended with "Taft, Taft, Taft."
Enthusiasm and friendliness were appar

When the candidate arrived at New
Haven, he Inquired at once for his son.
Robert. After the meeting. Robert, who
is a Junior at Tale, and had been mak
ing frantic efforts to get to his father
through the crowds, finally reached him
at the station.
"My son." said Mr. Taft. as he placed
the boy's ruddy face between his hands

listed Stocks and Bonds of
Doubtful Value Heinze Got
All He Wished.
NEW YORK,' Oct 26. After the ad
mission of the testimony of John W.
Gates, ex-Justice Morgan J. O'Brien,
Charles M.' Schwab. John H. Flagler,
and W. E. Havemeyer, to the effect
that as directors of the National Bank
of North America, they had never au
thorized the honoring of overdrafts
by Charles W. Morse, the vice-president
of the bank, and had never known
of the existence of such practice, the
prosecution late today rested its case
In the United States Court here against
the former banker and promoter and
his fellow defendant, A. H, Curtis, who
are being tried for alleged violation
of the National banking laws.
The day's session furnished a num
ber of sensations, not the least of
which was the declaration by W. W.
Lee. a former vice-president of the
bank, that on the day of the institu
tion's collapse, Curtis, the president,
had said to him:
Repudiated Loan.
"I have just told Morse that he has
'busted the bank.' "
Mr. Lee was questioned at length
concerning the happenings behind the
closed doors of the bank during the
evening hours of October 16, 1907, the
day ' of ' the collapse. After the ac
counts of the day's transactions had
been closed. It was discovered, Mr.
Lee testified, that Mr. Mocse had over
drawn his account $211,000. In order
to make good this deficiency, Morse
had turned Into the bank a quantity
of securities for the most part stocks
and bonds not listed on the stock ex
change, and of doubtful value, as col
lateral for a loan of 8211,000. This
loan the directors repudiated on the
following day.
Testimony intended to show the
dominating Influence exercised over
the National Bank of North America
by Morse was given by W. A. Nash,
president of the Corn Exchange Bank
and a member of the clearing house
committee.

evening from his lumber camp, about
15 miles from here, driving In a buggy,

threatened with having my ears cut off
