On Saturday February 5th, 1910 the Missouri State Bank and Walton Trust Company will have the ‘‘open- ting’ of the new building in which these well known institutions will hereafter be located. | The Missouri State Bank and Wal- ton Trust Company have for years had their office in a building 25x100 on the lot where the new institution now stands, but of late years these quar- ters have been found much too small to accommodate the rapid increase of both institutions. On August 19th, 1909, the work of re-modeling: the institution was be- gun, The building adjoining on the east, belonging to the bank, was razed and the new building was built to ex- tend over the lot occupied by this building. The new building, which will be |fully completed upon the day set for the opening, stands as one of the | handsomest and most imposing struc- tures in the county. The front entrance or portico is | purely colonial in design, and is con- |structed of cement. It consists of | four massive three foot columns thirty |feet in heighth upon which the roof jrests. The pillars to the left and right |of the large double doors, bear re-| |spectively the name plates of the |Bank and Trust Company, heavily | cast in bronze. Entrance is made in to a beautifully finished lobby 14x48 feet into which | opens on the left, the customers rest room, to the left of which is situated the customers private room. Direct- ly back of these rooms is the officers low rail section occupied by the Presi- | dent, cashier and ass’t cashier. | To the right of the lobby the Wal- jton Trust-Company has provided a | convenient and handsome rest room |S the use of its customers, back of | which is the low rail section occupied | by the officers of that institution. Ad- Both front and rear of the room are almost entirely of glass, which with a number of large windows on | the west and the large skylight at the * least make this as well lighted and ventilated building as is possible to construct. The hours of the opening are from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. and from 7:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m. ROOSEVELT’S LIBEL SUITS QUASHED. Judge Rules United States Court Has No Jurisdiction. New York, Jan.—The indictment against the Press Publishing Com- pany, publishers of the New York World, charging Joseph Pulitizer and others with criminal libel against Taft and others, was quashed in the United States district court. Judge Hough ruled that the statute upon which the indictment rested was not sufficient in authority; or in other words, that the court had no jurisdiction, Delancey Nicoll, counsel for the defendants, interpreted the decision as a signal victory for the freedom of the press. “The curious and inegn- ious mind,"’ he said, “that brought to life for the first time in eighty-five years the law under which this prose- cution was begun, has retired to pri- vate life, but has left this legacy be- hind it. | “This is not prosecution brought by aggrieved or injured private indi- viduals. It was begun by the presi- dent of the United States in an at- tempt to show that a libel had been committed upon the American people. “The statute under which this suit was brought was drafted to punish offenses not covered by the laws of the section in which they were com- mitted. In construing the statute, it is not for WS to consider what a fair minded Attorney General might do under it; it is for us to consider what can be done with it.
