"One of my clients came to me sev eral months ago and rave me notes for 11750 In return for that amount of money, which I was to lend him on a plrr of property." said Mr. Melrln. "I found that It would not be convenient for me to make the loan and Interested Mr. Myers. Me examined the abstract and found It was all riKht.

Mr. Melrln declared that he demand ed the money at the expiration of the SO days, but was put oft with a plausi ble excuse. He repeated the demand, he declares, from time to time, bvt al ways with the same result. He was told that Mr. Myera waa not In and that the loan waa a subject demanding Ms personal attention, or whs evaded In some similar manner.

The quarters were fixed up as a bank." said Woodward. -There were two large safes, one for coin and the other for books. I cannot say whether or not a banking business was trans acted. It seems that hardly any of ' the fixtures were paid for. as the tradesmen from whom they were pur chased swooped down and carried them sway. The elertrlcal fixtures shared the same fate." Mr. Woodward says that Myers paid Mm $100 a month rent for several months, always In advance, and did not owe anything t the time the -bank" closed Its doors. -Many Italians have come to me demanding- to know where Myers mleht be found." said Mr. Woodward. "The majorltr seemed to be very snsry and 1 pity Myers If he should fall Into the hands of such hot-tempered people, me of them coolly Informed me that must either have his money back or he would kt:i Myers on sight.

"lie also gave me a large stack of business cards on which Ferrers name was printed as holding that office. This wss two or three days previous to the date on which Kerrara signed a prom issory note for !5i worth of stock. I t..ok the cards to Ferrara s office when 1 went to discuss with Mm the question if a stock subscription. He looked them ever and did not demur to being pa-nd as president of the bank.

The Conserva tives in the Diet announce In energetic terms their Intention to demand that the Prussian Government give the rea sons which led It to consent to the pro posed constitution for Alsace-Lorraine. Herr Heydebrand. voicing the partys viewpoint, declared that the question of the constitutional position of Alsace-Lorraine was of the greatest im portance to the security of the empire, and mistakes made In connection with It eventually must be corrected by Prussian blood. Prussia's self-denial In weakening her own Influence In the Federal Coun cil was not to be commended. He added that In political life Prussia's power was not founded on self-denial, but on order, a strong army and a monarchy. The Conservative attack that precipi tated a series of assaults upon the gov ernment from various quarters evoked a reply from Chancellor ron Bethmann Hollweg. who rigorously defended the present form of the Alsace-Lorraine con stftution. He said that from the first he had favored the representation of Alsace. Lorraine in the Bundesrath, and believed, with other governments represented in the Bundesrath, the development of au tonomous conditions In Alsace-Lorraine was necemary to the Interests of both the empire and province They had been conquered to serve as a bulwark against France in the event of war. which God forbid." but to bo In corporated as closely as possible In the empire. There was no question of the weakening of the Influence of Prussia In the Federal Council, which was not based on arithmetical tables, but on historic deeds and historic mission.
