Should nil accounts on the books be collected and this is deemed unlikely by the probers the figure 4 scarcely will change. Calls Colflesh "Squealer" Walter O. Colflesh is "a squealer." Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey thus des ignates the head bookkeeper at the North Penn, who yesterday gave such - Amazing testimony of the juggling of accounts at thebank, at the sensational further hearing of the cashier, Ralph T. Moycr. The cashier is now held for trial in $25,000 bail. , - Colonel Pusey, who is the state's chief prober in the bank wreck, denied today that Colflesh was a state wit ness at the hearing. Colonel Pusey said Colflesh collapsed under the fire of Assistant District At torney Taulane. "Colflesh," said Colonel Pusey, "did not tell all. No, not by any means. lie did not turn state's evidence. He squeal ed; he collapsed." ' And Colonel Pusey added that the man owes the bank far more than the ?200 which he admitted on the witness stand. It was learned, from another source, that Colflesh's overdrafts would approximate $12,000. Speaks In Military Terms The colonel, who was quartermaster of the Keystone Division in France, spoke of the bank failure in military 1 terms. fi.'Weli," he said, "we have had our Mirmisn, we jam our artillery bar rage. There was some machine-gun firing and now we have the mopping up to do and battlefield reclamation. We must take the broken pieces and sort them on the salvage dump to see what we can save." He changed the subject to the tenta tive offers made by downtown financial concerns which have offered to take ci. over tne banK wncn a statement of its affairs has been made. "Offers," he said, "made by finan cial institutions to take over the bank still hold good. They depend, how ever, upon the flotsam and jetsam wc , are able to sho'w. The bank has an excellent business location and a val uable plant. The building itself is Vrorth $100,000 and the vaults at least $25,000. "Under the new banking laws the state bank commissioner has the power to sell the assets of a bank, including the plant, and can apply the proceeds to the benefit of creditors. He can do ' this with the approval of the court." ,'" Directors Liable for Loss "Are the directors liable for any loss df the deposits?" Colonel Pusey was 1 asked. ''Yes," was the reply. "They are liable and we shall exhaust these lia bilities,"" "Could any of the bank officials dodge liability by the transferring of their property to some one else?" "Emphatically not. We could get i such property through bankruptcy pro ceedings. Even it the transfer was made before the bank failed we could go after I j theproperty so transferred and re cover It."

State Supreme Court Rules That No Error Has Been Made by Lower Tribunals MEN MUST SERVE TERMS The Supreme Court today denied the petition for a new trial of the Fifth ward murder case. Acting" upon the plea of counsel for Lieutenant David Bennett and tho live patrolmen-defendants, the seven mem bers of the court denied a rehearing of the case on the ground that no error had been made in the lower courts. This means that the bondsmen of the defendants will have to surrender the convicted men to the West Chester court to servo their sentences. The defendants, with Lieutenant Ben nett, arc: Former Patrolmen John Wirtschnftcr and Kmanuel Uram, and Patrolmen Michael Murphy, Louis Feldmau nnd Clarence Hayden. Hayden is a negro.

MOVEMENT AS MAYOR GROWING, Congressman Declared Still to Be a Possibility, Despite Reports to Contrary R0TAN, "PRACTICAL MAN," IS GIVEN CONSIDERATION Committee of 100 Praised In dependents Ready to Begin Gas Attack By OEOROK NOX McCAI, Notwithstanding his assertion that he would not be the candidate of a fac tion, nnd thnt he would ouly accept a nomination for Mayor from the entire party, the name of Congressman J. Ilnmpton Moore has again sprung into renewed nnd conspicuous prominence on the list of candidates. There has been n genernl and voeifer-. ous denial on nil sides that any deal is oointcniplntcd ; that there is any deep down maneuver or scheme to jockey the situation to where the Varc organiza tion wouM be compelled to decide whether or not they would accept Con gressman Moore as a candidate. Even friends of Senator Vnrc are dis inclined to believe such an attempt is under way. There are those, however, who insist upon the facts and decline to take any other view. The sudden playing up of Congress man Moore's name in spite of his dec laration lends, they say, additional color to the report. Senator Penrose, who has been in Washington for the past two dnjs, is expected to return in a day or so. He has had a fatherly tali with the "big little man" from the Third congressional district und his coming is awaited with interest. Acker Remains Silent While A. Lincoln Acker is, and has been, the first choice of the Republican Alliance particularly, rather than of .the Town Meeting party, that gentle man has made no definite declaration as to his intentions up to the present. Should Mr. Acker decline to become the target for political bowmen the question of second choice becomes very interesting, with the Moore arrange ment slicked. District Attorney Samuel P. Rotan is seriously considered. He has n vig orous nicutnlity, ' wide acquaintance, political experience and tho various other qualities that would render him acceptable. Ho would size up to the description of the man desired by Sena tor Penrose. No "pussyfooting" iu his campaign. He would be against the Varc organization from the start. The only obstacle in the way, as in the case of Mr. Acker, is Mr. Rntiin himself. Both of them, I understand, hnve been repeatedly interviewed on the subject, but hesitate to plunge into the muck of a campaign thnt will be the most objectionable this city has ever seen. It is the horror of having one's peccadillos picked to pieces before the public. And politienl nnntomists will be very industrious this fall dissectiug candidates in tho limelight. Rotan a "Practical Man" The district attorney is regarded ns the "practical man" from the political standpoint who will answer the re quirements of the workers, the seekers after the loaves and fishes. At the same time he would consistently fill the vision of tho reformers ns to bruins and a high grade of citizenship. He would be satisfactory to the Contlnued on Tare Fourteen Column File T- One New "Article of War Also Recommended by Board of Investigators NO TRIAL AFTER ACQUITTAL By the Associated Press Washington, July HO. One new ar ticle of war and changes in thirty others have been recommended by the special board of officers nppointed early in the war to investigate the nrmy court-martial system. In making this announcement today, Secretury Baker said he soon would transmit the board's report to Congress. "It ma bo said." Mr. Baker said. "that the board upon the whole fiuds no radical defects in the system nnd it attributes the greater part of the just criticism not to inherent faults of the system itself, but rather to the inex perienced personnel called upon to ad minister It nt n time of stress when the great thing wns to get 4,000.000 men quickly in shape for the fighting line."

Press Chicago, July SO. Comparative calm marked this morning's situation in the Chicago race ynr. No serious trouble had been reported, the sporadic fights were few and mostly between individ uals, nnd in only one instance were po lice compelled to shoot. In that case a negro wns killed while resisting search by two patrolmen. j Governor Frank O.

Although virtually ever j mllltlnninn In the state wns either ini the city or en route here, it wns indi cated that they probably would not he cnlled to active duty in the streets. "I believe thnt wo hnve passed the crisis," said Governor Lowden. "(If course, the troops will rcmnin ns long ns there is possibility of danger and their services are nt the command of the city authorities. "I believe, however, thnt the mnnr and chief of police arc right in refrain ing from nsking for soldiers. Sending the troops into the trouble district might nrousc some antagonism and then when the regiments were withdrawn fresh trouble might break out." Twenty-six in Official Death List The governor questioned intcmrwers closely about conditions in the riot dis trict nnd also received reports from Frnnk S. Dickson, niljutaut general of the state, who toured the "black belt" with Charles Fitzmorris, secretary to Major Thompson. They took three hours to go over the ground and re ported to their chiefs that conditions were satisfactory. With the lull in rioting the police took stock. They checked the coroner's official death Hat of twenty-six and said that was complete. They also found that the list of injured reported to them had increased to .'li", One policeman. John II. Simpson, u negro, was killed and upward of thirty were hurt In the three nights of lighting. The official list of twenty-six dead included n dozen white and fourteen negroes. Of these nil Jincl been Identified except one white man and three negroes. No women or children were dead, but scores of them hnve been hurt, some in the nctunl fighting. "Gun Toting" Under Police Ban Police today redoubled their repres sive measures. Commanding officers were given copies of n drastic law on "gun toting" passed by the lust Legis lature, and told to bring changes under it whenever pocsible. All public gath erings iu the South Side negro district were forbidden, the prohibition extend ing to a jubilee celebration of a chapel, whose pastor assured the police that he intended to counsel his fcllow-ue-groes to be calm. Few negroes went to work today. The riots and the street car strike gave them a double excuse for remaining home. The most seriously affected district was the stock jards, where only half the working forces reported, despite heavy police guards along the chief thorough fares lending to the yards. The negroes evidently kept under cover, ns almost none appeared on the streets nnd the railroads reported that there had been no noticeable exodus of blacks from tho city. Reports thnt the ".",000 southern negroes who came to Chicago to get the high war wages had begun to drift South ngain were scouted by rail road men. The police committee of the city Council nt n special meeting today au thorized Chief of Police Gnrrity to swear in ns many specinl policemen ns may be necessary to restore order. Chief Garrity snld he would deputize 1000 bpecial policemen nt once.

July .-JO. Informal dis cussion among senators today developed thnt opposition to the specinl defensive treaty with France which was sent to the Senate jesterday by President Wil on is likely to be centered along two general lines that it is directly antag onistic to the tradition of no entangling nllinnees nnd that it subverts the con stitutional right of the Congress to de termine questions of war or peace. Although the President has taken the position that the treaty is not properly an alliance, Senator Borah. Republi can, Idaho, and others maintain that it has nil the force of the alliances which hnc been common among Euro pean nations. Likened to 'Article X Tn the view of this group the treaty will be evcji more in contradiction of American traditions than Article X of the leagne of nntlons covenant, tinder which the members of the league would "undertake to respect and preserve ns against externnl nggrcssion the terri torial integrity" of all members of the league. . In view of the administration neither Article X nor the French treaty would go-fiirthTr'tWln "the Monroe Doctrine In curtailing the power of CongrcN to dC clnre war. They argue that, while a moral obligation is imposed bj such ngreements, it is left to Congress In nny specific case to decide by declaring war or refusing to do so whether the time has come to fulfill that obligation. Advocates nnd Foes Confident Most senators have refrained from announcing any definite position re garding the French treaty, but the lenders opposing it declare it will be de feated and thnt among those who line up ngnlust it will be found some of the Republicans who nre willing to accept Article X of the covenant without res ervations. On the other hand, the ad ministration leaders say it is sure to hr ratified. Senator Dilliughnm, of Vermont, first of the Republican tenators to sec Pres ident Wilson today when he resumed his discussion of the treaty with members of the Senate majority, announced on leaving the White House thnt he ex pected to vote for the treaty with res ervations. Senator Dillingham said he iiad a very "satisfactory and delightful talk" with the President, who nnswered frankly many questions concerning the negotiations nt Paris, including the Shantung settlement.
