I IRV BREESE
OF EMBEZZLEMENT
Famous North Carolina Case
Will Probably Be Called
at Asheville.
f.„ n al to The Georgian.
Greensboro, N. C„ Nov. 3.—Gener
ally it was supposed that the “Breese
' which was probably the longest
and hardest fought Indictment ever
tried In the Federal courts of this state,
closed, but It seems that It will
be thrashed over again.
In July, 1897, the First National
Bank of Asheville failed, and great
havoc was wrought In all that section,
depositors losing large sums of money.
Breese, the president, Lawrence Pul
liam. the cashier, and Joseph Dlcker-
ijm, one of the directors, were Indicted
f ov ' embezzlement and conspiracy to
defraud, the sum named being $250,000.
Pulliam escaped and after being absent
several years, voluntarily returned, and
after a sensational trial was convicted
and sent to the Atlanta penitentiary,
and Is now serving sentence, or has
completed his term.
.Major W. E. Breese. the president,
wan tried three times. In two trials
the jury failed to agree. In the third
trial a conviction was had. Each of
these trials occupied weeks of time,
anti on account of alleged local preju
dice against the defendant, the case
removed from Asheville to Char-
Breese took an appeal to the
circuit court of appeals and this court
declared lie was illegally convicted, bc-
one of the grand Jurors who
found me bill of indictment had not
paid his taxes and Breese wan dls-
narged from custody, a free man. be-
ause between the time of finding the
dll of indictment In 1887 and the ren
dition of the judgment on appeal the
tatute had barred any further finding
if a bill of indictment. The. bill of
Indictment which the United States
nut declared was defective and under
which Breese was three times tried
and finally convicted was a bill found
by n grand Jury at the November term,
1M7. of the United States court at
Asheville.
Compromise Rumored.
An examination of the docket of the
United States court held In Greensboro
Xtober, 1897, shows that at that
i the grand Jury found a true bill
against XV. K. Breese, president of the
First National Bunk of Asheville, for
the alleged wrecking of the bank In
1897. The amount he Is charged
with embezzling Is $225,000. The rec
ord further shows that J. M. Allen was
foreman of the Greensboro grand Jury
which found this bill. It was on this
dll that Breese was arrested. It now
penis that another bill waa found at
ihe November term at Asheville; that
Breese was tried under this and that
October bill is still good,
n effort to reach District Attorney
Holton and get Information on this new
development has been ineffectual.
Judge Bynum, who prosecuted the case
special employee of the govern
ment fur two trials, when asked about
* absolutely non-committal, say
ing he knew nothing of the new phase
f the case.
Judge Boyd decline*! to be Inter
bred on the subject. Hut the clerkV
locket shows that a bill was found at
• October term and the case was
nsfewed to the Asheville docket for
trial. .
That some further development will
r«*»uit at the term of Federal court in
Asheville next week, showing that the
Breese case is not settled,” Is among
the probabilities.

BOARD OF TRADE
IS WELL INDORSED
Chamber of Commerce Will
Probably Move Quar
ters Up Town.
A fund of $2,500 was reported actual
ly in hand at the meeting of promi
nent citizens held Friday afternoon in
the office of C. C. Hanson for the pur
pose of organizing an Atlanta Board
of Trade. This amount practically
guarantees the organization of the ex
change about January 1.
Nearly all of the committees appoint
ed at the last meeting to make a can
vass of the different branches of trade
for stock In the exchange were present,
nnd the chairmen made favorable re
ports In every Instance. The banks of
the city and several out-of-town cot
ton men are yet to be heard from, and
these will in all probability subscribe
tho remaining sum necessary.
The Board of Trade for 1907 will
be merely an experiment, and It has
been estimated that about $4,500 will
be actually In hand before the exchange
cun be organized. The Chamber of
Commerce Is to have control of the
Board of Trade, and If the move Is suc
cessful new and more adequate quar
ters will be secured for both commer
cial organizations.
During the general discussion in the
Informal meeting Friday afternoon it
was decided to encourage the general
public to participate In the Board of
Trade and invite the membership of
every citizen who was a member of the
Chamber of Commerce. Huch members
would be allowed one share, the non
resident members would be considered
as associate members.
It was the sense of the meeting that
the Board of Trade was to be made a
place where the business men of the
city could meet and spend a social
hour to the benefit of the business and
commercial Interests. A location will
probably be secured where noon lunch
can he served and the quarters made
as attractive a* possible. Tho details
of the organization will be discussed at
the meeting to be held ut the same
place next Friday afternoon at ‘
o'clock.

*New York, Nov. 3.—Democratic lead
ers make no secret of their egltutlon
over the fact that the Independence
I-eaguers are doing everything In their
power to have the followers of Hearst
cast their ballots under the emblem of
the Independence League Instead of
under the emblem of the Democratic
party. The object of this Is to obtain,
if possible, the registration and elec
tion day patronage for the Hearst or-
gunlsutlon instead of for the regular
party at the next election.
In these closing days ot the cam
paign It becomes more and more ap
parent that Hearst has ahoved the reg
ular Democratic party Into the back
ground and that he Is, together with
Ills managers and speakers, exploiting
the Independence League, nnd relegat
ing the regular party farther and far
ther to the rear. Tho Democratic state
headquarters In the Victoria hotel are
as dead as the catacombs ot Egypt, and
William J. Conners, the state chair
man. has few of his stenographers and
his employees to keep him company.
League Men Art Busy.
Up at the Gllsey house, where the
Independence League has Its headquar
ters, an entirely different state of af
fairs Is to be found. There everything
Is bustle and Industry and the Inde
pendence League managers are priding
themselves on the fact that, after the
coming election their party will be a
recognised party under the laws of the
state.
It will only be necessary to poll 10,-
000 votes for the Independence League
to establish the organisation as a reg
ular party so that It can hold conven
tions and select entire tickets for fu
ture state end local elections. That
the league will poll many times the
necessary 10.000 rotes Is a certainty,
and the regular party leaders look with
Jealous eyes upon the strides that the
new organisation has taken.
Ballot is Cumbersome.
The ballot this year Is the most cum
bersome ever known since the, Inaugu
ration of the Australian system In this
state. There will be nine full columns
on the ballot and in some of the col
umns there will be several different
emblems for various Independent con
gressional, atate and assembly nomi
nees. For Manhattan and the Bronx
there will bo seventeen Independent
emblems, many of which are gro
tesque.
One assembly candidate lias selected
a but as an emblem, unother a pair of
nippers, another an open hand, another
a horseshoe, another a moose, another
a four-leaf clover, and another a
shamrock. One Independent candidate
for congress has selected a horse nnd
a Hon and another has a ferocious
looking ox. Some of the odd emblems
that appear on the ballot include a can
non, and a horse car.
Lawyer, Form Committes.
The lawyers have formed an Inde
pendent committee of which Joseph H.
Choate Is chairman and Alton B. Park
er, vice chairman. This committee
nominated a full non-partisan ticket
for the ten places on the supreme court
bench and the three minor Judicial of
fices to be filled at the coming election,
They took the official title of Judiciary
nominators, and adopted a black trlnn-
gle as their emblem. This title and
emblem will go on the official ballot
over the names of their candidates.
Tammany Hall got up a special ticket
by petition, containing the names of nil
the regular Tammany nominees for
the bench, and nominated them all
over again as Independents. This
pseudo-independent ticket goes on the
ballot right next to the ticket of the
Judiciary nominators and It has "Inde
pendent nominators" for Its title, and
a blackened anvil aa an emblem.
Hope to Confuse Voters.
The Idea of this whole proposition la
to confuse voters, so that many who
Intend to vi te the ticket of the Judi
ciary nominators, which haa been In
dorsed by tho Republicans nnd stands
a fair chance of election, will put their
mark In the circle under the anvil,
and, therefore, cant their votes by mis
take for the Tammany nominees,
which would mean that the combined
voteN ot the tatter would be counted.
Protest to the board of elections
against this has been unavailing, and
the time Is too short to allow the at
torneys for the judiciary nominators
to carry their case Into court. Thus
the Tummnny men hope that In their
confusion many voters, hesitating to
split tlielr ballots, for fear of Invulldat
Ing them, will vote straight party tick
cts, while still others will vote the on
vil ticket by mistake.

TREATED TO CONCERT
Patleui* of Wesley Memorial hospl

The treat wan given through an ar-
rangomeni of telephones running from
New York, Nov. 3.—Although pom-
mender Robert E. Peary, qf the United
States navy, failed to reach the north
pole, he went within 203 mllee of It.
According to n message received
from Peary by Herbert L. Brldgeman,
secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, the
explorer penetrated the wilderness of
Ice to 87 degress 6 minutes, which Is
the record of "farthest north.”
Tho Duke of Abruxzl expedition's
record was ,6 degrees 34 minutes. ,
From the wording ot the message
received last night, Mr. Brldgeman Is
of the opinion that Commander Peary
Is now on his way home In the Roose
velt. The message was mailed at
Hopodale, a Moravian mission station
on the east coast of Labrador, and
reached Twlllingate, on the east coast
of New Foundland, from which point It
