tor. The court, Including Judge F. St.
Uourne, and Prosecuting Attorney H.
Wilkinson, both of whom were spe

British government, at the suggestion
of Ambassador McDonald at Tokio.
Paper Was Responsible.
The prosecution said that It would
prove that the publications In Beth

ly responsible for all the disturbances
in Korea. M. Miura asserted that
the Korean government exists only
subject to the direction of Japan. He
further said that he believed that
there were 20.000 troops now In Ko
rea and that half the country was
disturbed. Consequently the publica
tions were creating a false Impression
regarding the real intentions of the
Japanese government, increasing the
difficulties of the government and
causing much bloodshed.

CHORUS OF 2300 MEN.
Greatest MuHleal Event Ever Oelo-
bra ted in lie United States.
Indlanaoolls. Ind.. June 17. A
massed male chorus of 2500 will sing
during the thirty-second national mu
sical festival of the North American
Saengerbund, which begins today at
the Colloseum. A children's chorus
of 2000 voices will also be . a feature.
Thousands of German singers from
all over the land are In the city and
the festival promises to be the most
notable of Its kind ever held In the
United States.
The soloists engaged are Madame

ame Schumann-HeinK ana imvia
BlsDham: also Walter Damrosch,
one of the most attractive personali
ties In the musical world, conducting
the New York Symphony Orchestra
of 100 men.
The National Saengerfest has been
a part of the musical development of
this country. This organization, or
bund, had its origin in Cincinnati In
1849. when 118 singers from five so
cieties met and held the first Ger
man son festival In America. In
June. 1899. the North American
Saeneerbund celebrated at its place
of birth Its golden jubilee. At this
celebration 2760 singers appeared and
received cordial congratulations from
all large associations of singers of this
country and likewise from the Qen
eral German Rgengerbund In Ger
many.
The president of the association. Is
J. Hanno Deller of New Orleans, pro
fessor at the University of Louisiana,
a man well known for his artistic ap-
nrerlatlon and tremendous force.
The object of the Saengermund at
present Is to promote the real char
acter of the festival of song and to
obtain for the massed chorus the
prominent place which it deserve.

"Known For Its Strength"
What It Means
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of
A Bank's Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
This bank has a
