Uses Paper as Collateral for Per sonal Jjoana lor Benefit of Others Many Recovered. PITTSBURG. May 16. The discovery that valuable securities were missing from the vaults of the Allegheny National Bank resulted today in National Bank Examiner Folds making a second informa tion against William Montgomery, the former cashier of that institution, charg ing him with misapplication .of bonds be longing to the hank valued at J12S.000. The accused official, who had previously given ball in the sum of $100,000 on a charge of embezzling J469.000 of the bank's funds, was again placed under arrest and taken before United State Commis sioner William T. JUindsay. The bond on the second charge was fixed at 5,000, and, his first bondsman having surren dered him, he was lodged in the County Jail in default of $125,000. The bonds which Montgomery Is al leged to have misapplied are said to have been left wtih the bank as collateral for loans of customers and are claimed gilt edged securities. The charge is made that Montgomery followed the same methods used by T. Lee Clarke, ex-cashier of the Enterprise National Bank, who states that he used the bonds as collateral for personal loans for the benefit of others, thus re-hypothecating them. Examiner Folds stated tonight that he had already recovered a number of the bonds and he knew where most of the others were. Before going to Jail this evening Mont gomery exonerated aU the other em ployes of the bank in the matter of the defalcation. He said that none of them had anything to do with it. While Montgomery has mentioned some persons outside of the bank as having been connected with him in some of his deals. It is understood their relation to the deals was 'not such as to warrant the inclusion of them In the prosecu tion. Montgomery has practically as sumed all the responsibility. DEBATE ON SINGLE TJX E.

May 16. The bill providing for the continuance of the Inland Waterways Commission, intro duced Thursday by Representative Bur ton, of Ohio, was passed by the House today under suspension of the rules. -A remark attributed to President Roosevelt, that he would continue the commission whether Congress author ized it or not, was the subject of much adverse criticism on the Democratic side, particularly by Clayton of Ala bama, and Williams of Mississippi. Burton came tothe defense of the President and said that the members of the commission stood ready again to volunteer their services. "We hope," he said, to accomplish a degree of order where now a degree of chaos exists." HOUSE HVRRXIXG CLEAX-VP Acts on Appropriation Bills and Two Important Measures. WASHINGTON, May 16.

APPRAISEMENT OF VOTES Gallagher Says Boss Fixed It andTIe Acted as Paymaster to Grafters. Tempted by loyalty to First 'Crime. BAN FRANCISCO. May IS. At .today's session of the Ruef bribery trial, ex-Su pervisor Gallagher was recalled and questioned by Aslstarit District Attorney Heney as to the "number of . bribes that were actually passed, or offered. " During the examination of th witness by Henry Ach, it was learned that Ruef had asked Mr. Ach, who is now defending' him. to take the office of District Attorney the. time the Board of Supervisors tried, to remove District Attorney William ' H Langdon from office. .Atjcording to Gal lagher, the suggestion . was made; in the private office of Ruef with Gallagher, Ruef. Mr. Ach and Thomas V.' CateR formerly a candidate for United" States Former Upholds Proposed Amend ment to the State Constitution. E. S. J. McAUiBter, a strong adherent of the proposed single tax amendment to the state constitution, engaged in a debate with Judge M. C. George, on that measure, in tho Y. M. C. A. auditorium last night. The house was crowded to overflowing and after the principals had finished their arguments all members of the audience who so desired were given three minutes each in which to express their views. Mr. McAllister made the opening ad dress. The drift of his argument was strongly toward socialism. He urged the adoption of the. proposed amendment and throughout his address eulogized the doc trines of Henry George. He was loudly applauded at the close of his address. Judge George followed and at once proceeded to shatter the strongest points of his opponent's speech. He urged the election of honest officials to office, rather than a change in the present syetem of taxation, as a means of abolishing the present evils of tax ation. He compared the poor farmer, owning a small ttact of land with a few improvements, to the retired capitalists owning the same amount of land, but with extensive improvements, and con tended that it is not Just that they should be taxed the same. "The single tax is all theory," said the speaker, "and has never prevailed in a civilized country. It has flour ished among the Indians and the bar barous nations of the world, but does not exist in a single highly-civilized country at the present time. It is .simply a move toward socialism. It would only be a matter of time when private property would be aboll6hed and the Government would become the owner of all the land. The tax on land would be raised from year to year till the tax would finally become so high that the Government would own the land. It is another case of cutting off a small piece of dog's tail at a time to keep from hurting the dog. "Of course. Brother McAllister and Henry George may be right and the whole world wrong, but it is the consensus of opinion at the present time among the great economists of the world that the single tax is a practical Impossibility." It was in answer to Judge George's ar gument that a tax on personal property is necessary for the protection of personal liberty that Mr. McAllister showed a strong tendency toward the strengthening of the Individual rights of man, and his argument at this point savored strongly of the doctrine of anarchism. The audience was apparently out of sympathy with Mr. McAllister and his single-tax argument, and each time Jndge George landed a telling blow prolonged epplause followed.

Gal lagher said that he had nothing to say about prices to be paid for votes, tha everything relative to such matters was left in the hands of Ruef. Gallagher said that Ruef always gave him currency which he in turn handed to the Supervis ors, they taking what was given to them. Mr. Ach had questioned Gallagher on the 5 per cent- rakeoff on the prizefight bribe the witness declared that he had. never commuted a crime before he met Abraham Ruef, and his loyalty to the political boss had tirst ' paused him to act as a briber.

THE FIRST COMPLETE PIANO Early Predictions Realized HEN the Aeolian Company brought out tho PIANOLA PIANO and announced it as the . "First Complete Piano, " they prophesied that here was an instrument . that was "destined . to revolutionize the entire piano situation.". No other piano manufacturer at that time had anything similar to offer to the public. So enthusiastic had been the acceptance of the Pianola, however so confident were they of the success of this new instrument that they predicted that eventually all other piano manufacturers would be obliged to incorporate some , kind of a Piano Player in their own instruments. Time has since shown how amply justified was this prediction. Today there is hardly a piano man ufacturer left who is not offering some thing he claims is just as good as the Pianola Piano. Those who are not now doing so will ultimately be obliged to follow the Aeolian Company's lead. It is important to remember, however, that be fore any other so-called Player-Piano had been put upon the market, the Player Piano had already be come famous throughout the entire musical world. The genuine Pianola Piano is marie only by the Aeolian Company. Without exception, instruments which attempt to compete with it contain piano-players which are inferior to the Tianola and which lack its vital musical fea tures, like the Themodist and the Metrostyle. The Pianola $215.00 and $300.00. The Pianola Piano $575 and up. Purchasable by Moder ate Monthly Payments Sold in the Northwest Only By A L.arice Shipment of New M n 1 c Just Received.
