HARRY sEYBoLO's sTeALINes.
He Makes Full Confession And the
Money is Recovered.


Money is Recovered.
WHEELING, ". Va, Aug. Harry Sey-
bold, the teller OF the bank of Wheeling who,
with George Hennig, another employee. was
arrested last night charged with embezzling
funds of the bank, made full confession at
o'clock this morning. He exonerated Hennig
from all blame and said he took the money on
the 10th day of last May. The package con-
tanned $4,000 in cash and was removed from
the vault TO Seybold's lsDme. There he kept it
until June when he deposited $4,000 in
various banks TO the joint credit of himself and
Hennig, telling all who asked about it that
they had won the money in the Louisiana lot
terry. To Hennig he said he had borrowed the
money and intended to buy a gold NINE with
II. About $4,000 of the money has been re-
covered and property to about like amount
has been attached, so the bank will be amply
protected.
Seybold was released on bail this afternoon,
his father going his security. 1t is absolutely
certain that Hennig is entirely innocent of any
criminal connection with the theft. Hennig is
a brother Of Frank Hennig, the well-knOwn
actor. The total amount of Ssybold's stealings
was S33, 700

The head was shaped like a snakes

NAMING SUBCOMMITTEEs.
When Mr.. Britton appointed other members
of the executive committee he designated the
subcommittee of which he wished them to be
chairmen. The members of the various sub
committees were selected by the respective
chairmen and in all instances the appointments
were made without regard to politics. The idea
OF q nOn-partisan celebration Of the Inaugural
ton of the new President was consistently MAIN
tanned in bringing together the men VINO were
to control and direct the preparations The
suocommittees were required to make reports
to the executive committee Of the progress OF
the work under their charge. The zeal and en-
ergy displayed by the committees was manifested
In the rapid progress made In the arrangements
and as far as possible all the details were COM
peted at least month before Inauguration day.
Weekly meetings of the main committee have
been held and reports made by the chairman OF
each subcommittee as to what had been done.
No action was final unless IL had the approval OF
the executive committee, and as the chairmen
or the committees were present the results OF
the work Of the subcOmmittees were fully an0
clearly presented to the general committee. In
this way every step was carefully considered
and the chances Of making mistakes were re-
duced to O minimum.
THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
By the end of January the executive commit
tee had received reports from the subcommittee
that enabled them to make contracts for the
printing Of souvenir cards, tickets, and pro-
grams of every kind, for the music at the inau-
gural ball, both promenade and dance music;
for hat boxes In the cloak rooms of the ball
room; for the floral decorations Of the ballroom
and for all other decorations, such as bunting,
flags. shields. &C.; for badges for the use OF
some /, 900 members Of the committees and the
employees; for the fireworks; for furnishing the
side and outside Of the Pension building. In
addition, arrangements were In course Of COM
pietion for marshalllug procession numbering
some 40, 900 mem; for the conservation of public
order during the inaugural period, and for the
entertainment and comfort OF large crowd Of
people.

Preparations for Mondays Pageant
The Part That Citizens of Washington Play
in Making President

The orderly arrangement OF a popular display
such as will attend the Inauguration of Mr.. Har-
rison as President next Monday requires much
preliminary preparation and the expenditure of
considerable money. This work. requiring the
exercise of much organizing ability. is per-
formed by citizens Of the District, and the funds
are contributed by citizens Of the District.
There is no government appropriation to defray
the expenses of the Inauguration. voluntary
subscriptions from private citizens furnish the
means which insure suitable and appropriate
popular demonstration. The display of fire.
works at night and the great ball. held in a
magnifcently decorated ballroom, form a fit
ting close of a memorable day.
Without the active cooperation of the cti-
zens the grand procession would probably be
an insignificant marshaling of a few mil
tary companies and civic associations.
By means of an admirable system
committees Of citizens devote time and labor in
corresponding with organizations throughout
the country. They provide suitable quarters
for them In this city at moderate prices and re-
ceive them upon their arrival and see that they
are properly cared for. All the innumerabe
details OF an affair of this magnitude are care
fully considered months before hand and when
the city is filled with great throng of strangers
there is not little confusion. The details are
managed with such nicely that even individuals
are supplied with quarters through the agency
of the committee. The citizens NAV well be
proud Of the record that no one on such &C.
casions has suffered for lack of accommodations
or has been left to the mercy of extortionate de-
mands
HOW 1T WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
How all this is accomplished is a story of I'M
usual interest. Shortly after the presidential
election In November last Senator Quay, the
chairman of the national republican committee.
was requested to name some citizen of the Dis
trict to be chairman of the inaugural commit
tee. As the Inauguration is a national. not a
local event. although the popular display is
managed by and is under the management of
the citizens of the District 1t was
garded as fitting that the brilliant leader
Of the successful campaign should be con-
suited in regard to the inaugural preparations.
