Y., Siegel, indicted owner, now on trial at Geneseo in the supreme court on a charge of grand larceny, will not take the stand to testify in his own behalf. This de- cision was announced today by Siegel's attorney in chief, John B. Stanchfield. State Rests Case. With the identification of several books at the resumption of the trial today by Joseph E. Pridday, former manager of the Henry Siegel company of Boston, the state rested its case. The prosecution has called as wit- nesses several of the leading men in the employ of Siege]l, who testified to the manner in which the finances of the various enterprises were run, In building up its case the prosecution ciployed the assistance of skilled ac- countants for nearly a year, and over three tons of records were brought to Geneseo to be used in an attempt to show that the accounts of the stores were manipulated. The defense believes that but twa days will be necessary to present its case, and it is probable that Siegel will know his fate Tuesday night or Wed- nesday morning, Considerable stress is placed by Stanchfield on the testi- mony of Oscar A. Prall, Siegel's former confidential secretary, who gwore that no conspiracy was hatched in preparing the statements on which $100,000 was obtained from the Na- tional Bank of Commerce. It is on this charge that the case hinges, and Mr. Stanchfield will ask the court to order stricken out of the records all reference to conspiracy. Confident of Acquittal. When the testimony is all in, Charles B. Newton, of Siegel’'s counsel, will make the opening address and Mr. Stanchfleld will close. Siegel professes to feel confident of acquittal. Nov. department MICHIGAN NOW FREE OF INFECTED CATTLE Government Officials Believe They Have Disease Under Control. ‘Washington, Nov. 23.—The lifting of the quarantine against Canada because of the foot and mouth dis- ease is regarded by officials of the department of agriculture as encour- aging evidence that they are “on the outside' of the disease.” “This means,” says a statement to- day by the department, ‘““‘that there are grounds for the belief that quar- antines already declared have been sufficient to stop the movement of infected cattle and that the disease can now be held within the limits of the areas already quarantined. States Seriously Affected. “At the present time the states most seriously affected are Ohio, Il- linois, Indiana and Pennsylvania. “Outside this belt the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Mass- achusetts are perhaps the subject of the greatest concern. Although the actual number of cattle already infected is comparatiyely small, it will probably be some time before any of the quarantines can be lifted in this region.” Situation Well in Hand, It is stated that the situation in New York, Delaware and New Jersey seem to be well in hand. The hope is expressed that a portion at least of the latter two states may be re- leased from quarantine shortly. “The greatest encouragement of all however is probably found in Mich- jgan,” the statement continues. “The outbreak originated in Michigan and it first spread fast. Now, however, it is believed that ail infected stock have been buried and the state, it is hoped, 1is really clean. To make certain of this, however, a farm to farm inspection is now being made in all regions previously infected. Six Months Necessary. “Although the spread of the dis- ease into areas previously uninfected seems to have been in a great mea- sure checked. it is estimated that it will take at least six months to stamp out all traces of the infection. In this work, it will be of great as- sistance If snow comes quickly. Quar- antines of whole or' parts of states will he lifted as rapldly as safety permits.” SCHOOL SUPTS.

Lima, Peru, Nov. 23.—It is de- clared here today on seemingly good authority that the Germans have been maintaining what is described as | a naval station outside of Valparaiso, Chile. Here they brought together & number of vessels having on board coal and provisions. Chilean papers reaching here say that the government is determined to stop these branches of neutrality even at the cost of war. TO SING UNDER TREE. Again this year plans are being| made to establish another Christmas | tree in Central park and to have Xmas | songs and carols sung under it dur- ing the holidays. An effort will be made to have the choruses from the different Sunday schools sing on vari- | ous evenings as was the case last| year. | CAUSED BY GVEREATIRG Deficient gastric secretion, meaning a lack of the guids necessary for digestion, is a prevalent condition. ~You may have it now and not know it because you are able to get along without actual discom- fort even with your enfeebled digestion. But if you overeat—then you are in ! trouble. “You have indigestion because you have given your weakened stomach too much to do. The deficient gastric secretion was what doctors call the pre- disposing cause, the overeating was the exciting cause. It is easy not to repeat the overeating but the predisposing cause must be corrected if you are to be well. The secretions that digest the food come from glands that are nourished di- rectly by the blood. When these secre- tions are insufficient, the only way to re- store their healthful condition is by build- ing up the blood. ~ This can be done by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the_ non-alco- holic tonic that assists nature in keeping the body in health. _Proper attention to diet and the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be tried in cases of disorder- ed digestion because it is the simple and natural way to correct the trouble.
