Warsaw.

commissions paid out. he said, was
131.007.63. Thla waa approximately
SO per cent.
Of these commissions. Mr. House tes
tified that Mr. Menefea received in
cash IS0.609.SJ; '. M. LeMonn. salea
manager. 17.640.13: and stock sales
men In tha field S23:.957.S.
Additional amounts, however, were
received by Mr. Menefea and Mr.
LeMonn. tha witness said.
Mr. House testified that the total
amount paid In. cash to Mr. Menefce
for commissions and miscellaneous
services was tl27.311.S3. Besides this.
according to the witness, he recelvea
real estate listed at H3.523. and 11.000
sharea of United Statea Cashier Com
pany stock, the par value of which
waa f 10 a share.
Big Seas Advaaeed to Cesapaay.
However, Mr. House went on to testi
fy. Mr. Menefea advanced to the com
pany at different times a total of J88.
145.44 in cash. This left him a net
cash balance for his work as head of
the company of S3S.345.44.
This, however, does not Include the
$110,000 worth of stock, on the sale of
which Mr. House testified that he
thought Mr. Menefee "broke about
even." or the S43.S23 In real estate.
Adding thla latter and other small
earninga to the cash balance gave Mr.
Menefee. according to the witness, a
total balance In his favor ot J82.954.85.
To Mr. LeMonn. the witness said, was
paid a total of S79.C8S.20. and he re
ceived 1000 shares of stock besides.
On cross-examination by A. P. Dob-
son, Mr. Le.Monn'a attorney, the witness
said he did not anow oi nj
Mr. LeMonn or Mr. Menefee had re
ceived commissions that were not al
lowable under their contracts. By
these contracts they received stock
bonuses and 10 per cent commissions,
on all stock sold. In lieu of salaries.
Excessive Censalsaions Alleged.
The Government takes the stand that,
even though these stock commissions
were In lieu of salary, the evidence
ahowa that they were excessive.
Robert Magulre, attorney for O. E.
Gernert. ex-asalstant sales manager of
the company, on cross-examination con
tended that the book value of stock,
which Mr. House had previously testi
fied was considerably under the 110 par
value of each share, did not necessarily
determine Ita real value. He made this
point when Judge Bean atopped his
questioning of tha witness with tha re
mark that It waa a waste of time, as
tha point waa understood.
Mr. Magulre, aa did Attorney Walter
McHenry for Salesmen Bonne well and
Todd, also brought out that Mr. Gernert
had agenta under him, and that when
he received 25 and 10 per cent com
missions he had to divide with the sub
agents. Other Dlsbaraesaeata lulsted.
On direct examination Mr. House also
testified to other disbursements of the
United Statea Cashier Company. Pay
ments for the Potter and Bilyeu patents
totaled S110.579.1S, he said; for factory
site, factory equipment and the like.
S314.975.21 was expended: and for de
velopment of models of machines prior
to removal of the plant to Kenton. S30,
450.23 was paid out; cash paid for
realty, mortgagee and taxes amounted
to S13.3i-0.47.
United States Attorney Reames
brought out that In the sales of the
machines, for the manufacture of which
the company purported to be organised.
Just $314 waa realised.
On redirect examination. Mr. Reames
asked the witness only one question.
"Did the United States Cashier Com
pany ever declare or pay any divi
dend?" he queried.
"Well." said Mr. House, "the records
show, that one man. J. L. Stockton,
had some kind of arrangement with
Mr. Menefee by which he was to get
$250. This was paid. Whether Mr.
Menefee sdvanced the money himself.
1 can't say.
"Otherwise, however, no stockholder
aver received Ji dividend."
Most of the afternoon session of
court was devoted by the Government
to Introducing letters cited in the in
dictment against the defendants as
constituting overt acts In the alleged
conspiracy to use the malls to defraud.
One of these letters, to Joseph Hun
ter, a salesman then at Reno, Nev.,
January SO, 1913, to which waa signed
the name of Frank Menefee, was as
follows:
"We are trying to round out our
stork-selling as rapidly as possible.
The fact Is, we have deals on at $30
which will amply take care of the
company's treasury stock, and we have
to handle. In 6rder to keep the market
clear, a quantity of stock for private
parties, and wa are trying to take off
the market all we possibly can.
"We can handle thla situation- ver
nicely If we can rush up our miscel
laneous sales In some way.
"I cannot put this proposition up to
very many and do not want to except
In Isolated places, where It won't inter
fere with other sales and our stock
selling generally. You are one of per
haps two or three that we have work
ing for us that we can put this con
lldentlal proposition up to, and we
would not put it up to you except that
you are going to a new location where
I think there will not be much com
munication between the stockholders
there and other places.
Advantage la Cited.
"If you do not want to work the
proposition in this way, all you have
to do Is to say so and go at it in the
same old way that you have been
4olng.
What I want to propose Is that you
could work like you did in Northern
California last Summer at $20 per share,
only at that rate we would have to
realise SIS per share, which would only
leave you with a commission of 25 per
cent. -
"This advantage In the price would
rush up the business so that you
would make more money at thst com
mission than at 30 per cent, insisting
on selling at $30 per share.
"You understand if you work In this
way that your subscriptions must be
taken on the blanks that read Joseph
Hunter, and your argument would be
that the company stock was practical
ly all placed and all provided for by
contracts already made with a pos
sibility of one or two falling and hav
ing to be sold to outside parties.
With such a contingency no com
pany stock was to be had, but that you
could sell a couple Of hundred shares
or whatever amount you think proper
to work on and then sell It as long as
you had sales, regardless of whether
the amount runs out or not. and the
stock you sell is either some of your
previous sales at that price which your
people have not been able to pay for.
and which you can get by turning in
the money quickly, or else that you got
hold of a small block from a party
that was hard up and had to realize
some money, and in that way you were
able to let them have the Inside figure,
unknown to the company, of course.
Matter Declared Private.
"As a matter of fact, this is a private
matter and must not be considered as
company business.
"I do not mean to say more to you.
aa you are so used to these situations,
and will readily realize whether you
had better work it this way or not.
and. if so. on what plan you want to
work. Whatever plan you do adopt, if
you go to working this way, write me
fully personally, so I will know what
to say If inquiries are made."
After United States Attorney Reames
at 3:33 o'clock announced that the
Government would rest. Attorney Wal
ter McHenry. of Des Moines, repre
senting B. F. Bonnewell and H. M.
Todd, presented a motion for a di
rected verdict of not guilty for his
clients, on the ground of Insufficient
evidence to connect them with the con
spiracy. Judge Bean, said . he could
not consider such a motion until all
the testimony was in, but permitted
Mr. McHenry to submit it for the
record.

but Abandoned Provinces
Are Sorely Tried.
. WARSAW, Aug. 1. (By mail to Pet
rograd, Aug. 3. via London.! The
Governor-General of Warsaw is still at
his post and Russian authority here Is
Intact. There Is talk In military circles
to the effect If the Russian lines hold
a week longer the city will never be
abandoned. '
The Warsaw civic committee and
central committee, embracing all the
local civic committees, are working to
gether harmoniously with the Russian
authorities. Prince Lubomlrsky is tem
porary president of both, the Warsaw
and central committees. The organi
zation of civic guards is managed by
separate committees, subordinate 'to
the civic committees. .
200,000 Have Left for Interior.
Twenty thousand guards have been
enrolled at Warsaw. Approximately
200,000 persons have left the capital for
the Interior of Russia. Hunger has not
yet been felt and trade is brisker than
usual, there being ample work In con
nection with the war.
Warsaw has grown so accustomed to
the nearness of military lines that
there is no disposition to a panic The
streets of the capital are livlier than
those of the average Russian city and
the town has not . suffered materially
from the campaign.
The situation is far different from
this in the provinces from which the
Russian army has withdrawn. Lublin,
Lomza, Plotsk, Suwalkl and the rural
parts of Warsaw province have been
sorely visited. When the retirement
began, the Russian commanders were
impressed with the desirability of leav
ing nothing that might sustain the
German armies. Orders were issued
for the withdrawal of entire popula
tions, the destruction of villages, forests
and crops, and the removal of cattle,
horses, implements and . various other
kinds of property.
Order of Destroetloa Modified.
In some cases the villagers were di
rected to execute these orders them
selves, on promise of speedy compen
sation. Few complied, as the villagers
feared they would not be able to make
a record of their losses.
About July 1 the Warsaw civic and
general committee appealed to Grand
Duke Nicholas for a modification of
the order. The committee had the sup
port of the archbishop of Warsaw. The
Grand Duke accordingly issued instruc
tions that property should not be . de
stroyed except 'in case of military ne
cessity and permitting the populations
to remain.
A clear majority of the people are
loyal to Russia, and seemingly the
loyalty of the Poles has been strength
ened by Premier Goremykin's promise
of autonomy.

DETAILS NOT OUTLINED
Secretary Lansing Denies Invasion
for Relief Would Bo Act of War
and Cites Boxer Rebellion
Policy as Precedent. '
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. President
wilann'a determination to seek the co
operation of South and Central Ameri
can governments In restoration or peace
in Mexico was reached last June, when
his appeal to the Mexican factionists
to end the strife brought no results.
The invitation to the Ambassadors
from Argentina. Brazil and Chile, and
the Ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay,
.and Guatemala, to confer with Secre-Tannine-
on the problem, was ex
tended June 30, while the statement to
the Mexican people was issued June i.
Announcement of the plan was held up
until each of the diplomats had re
ceived the sanction of his government
to participate in the conference, a step
hj(a vi A MR a TP V hv the fact that the
affairs of a third country Mexico
were to be reviewed.
Conference Set for Thursday.
T-t.- r.-..,... will ha held at the
State Department next Thursday. It
has been announced as an inioruii uu
confidential meeting. -
All details of President Wilson s plan
for settlement of the Mexican problem
have not. it Is reported, been com
municated to the six Southern gov
ernments, but their representatives,
who are to take part in the conference,
have received in confidence a general
outline of what is to be proposed
by the Washington Administration.
Prompt and determined action, it is
declared. Is the foundation of the
President's plan, which will be sub
mitted to the .conferees by Secretary
Lansing.
Final Appeal First Step.
It is believed the first step proposed
will be a final appeal to Mexican lead
ers to end hostilities and arrange for
restoration of constitutional govern
ment by peaceful means. A time limit
for compliance, it Is thought, will be
suggested.
Should this be Ignored by any of
the Mexican factions, the plan is said
to Include procedure to promote es
tablishment by the other factions of a
government to be supported . morally
and financially by the United States
arid other American governments. An
embargo on munitions of war would
be imposed, it is said, against revolt
ing factions.
Demand will be made for immediate
relief of the food situation in Mexico
City and maintenance of railroad and
telegraphic communication between
Vera Crus and Mexico City, it is un
derstood. If Mexican leaders cannot do
this, the United States, aided possibly
by the Latin-American governments,
may find it necessary to take control
of the capital and the railroad by
force and hold it until peace Is re
stored. Act Xot One of War.
Replying to questions today. Secre
tary Lansing sata the .sending of
troops into Mexico 'City to take food
to starving Americans and other for
eigners could not be considered an act
of war. He cited the action of thfl
United States and other powers in
China during the Boxer rebellion. Mi.
Lansing would not say. however, that
such a plan was In contemplation.
Reports from Vera Cruz tonight an
nounced the formal entrance of Gen
eral Gonzales into Mexico City. Earlier
reports said telegraphic communication
with the capital had been restored for
transmission of official business.
American Consul Silliman at Vera
Cruz denied this later, but the Asso
ciated Press received a direct report,
filed today at a station a few miles
outside of Mexico City, telling of the
arrival of food supplies with Gonzales
forces. -
' Carraasa Says He Sends Food.
General Carranza telegraphed his
agents' here the following:
"Besides inaugurating the relief
work with the suplies carried into the
capital with the army under General
Gonzales, I am making provision for
the transportation of additional food
supplies for immediate delivery in
Mexico City and distribution for the
points where distress is most apparent.
This supply will be adequate for the
present needs of the population of
the capital and will be continued as
long as necessity exists for govern
ment relief. Further, 1 am arranging
for food distribution in other portions
of the territory lately coming under
the complete control of the armies of
the constitutionalist government."
The American Red Cross announced
that it would attempt to send to
Mexico City via New Orleans and Vera
Crux $6000 worth of groceries asked
for by Americans. C. J. O'Connor, Red
