ANOTHER BANK PRESIDENT

Arrested In New York Tor Alleged Misuse
OF Bnuls Funds.
New YoRE. May 6.-Charles Pink
ham, jr., former president OF tho Bank
OF Harlem, was arrested this afternoon
on an indictment charging him with
misappropriatins $4,000 OF the funds
OF that bank. The discovery OF President
Pinkhams alleged deialcalion was mado
when n plan OF consolidation OF the
Harlem with the Hamilton bank was
put into execution.
Charles B. Fordick, OF the Hide and
Leather Bank, and W. ?. st. John, OF
tho Mercantile National Bank, wcro mp
pointed committee to look into the
affairs Of the Bank OF Harlem and they
discovered n shortage.
Superintendent Preston, OF the state
banking department, appeared before
the grand jury and the Indictment fol.
lowed.
David T. Porter, successor to Pink
ham as president OF the bank OF Har-
lem, said this afternoon: "AIr. Pink
ham was one OF the organizers OF the
bank of Harlem in 1888. He has wife
and five or six children. He lived In
good style. We do not know what. he
did with the money"
The charge against Pinkham grows
out of transaction in 1889 and came to
tho surface in the recent work OF con-
solidating tho Harlem bank with the
Hamilton bank.
Pinkham in his capacity rs president
OF the bank gave two promissory notes
to \. B. Wood, a theatrical man, now in
prison for swindling in connection with
the erection OF Harlem theatre.
Mr.. Pinkham after his arrest said that
ho was too much porturbed to make Il
statement. lie stated, however. that it
appeared strange to him that after two
years the banks should take such action
against him when they have known the
circumstances long time. He admit
ted that there was deficit in the banks
account, which fact the board of dircc-
tors he said had been acquainted With
right along. Mr.. Pinkham said he did not
care for his arrest much on his own ac-
count, but felt bad on account OF his
wife and six children.

OF Az newspaper opinions, taken from

and North Carolina. The ISrELLIGry-

Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, who has
reported from the senate committee an
amendment TO the postoltice appropria-
tion bill appropriating $500, 900 to con.
tinue the Postmaster Generals
FREE DELIVERY EXPERIMENTS,
said to-day that he had overy reason 10
believe that SO far as tho senate was con-
cerned, at least, the amendment would
be adopted. "As to what the house OF
representatives may do" hc continued,
OF course have no means OF forming IN
opinion; but judging from the great
number OF letters and petitions received
by members OF Congress from all parts
OF the country strongly iavoring this
test, ] should conclude that tho house,
rs well as the senate, would cheerfully
respond to the demand"
What are your views rs to the ulti-
mate success in this country OF the effort
being made to extend the free delivery
OF mails into the rural districts ?n
II regard the scheme US entirely prac-
ticable and one which will be adopted
eventually in this country. 1t may re.
qulre some time OF course TO extend the
service in the new states where the
population is sparse, but in the older
states and in the well-settlcd portions
of the new states see nothing in the
way OF establishing this service
AT VERY EARLY DATE.
"What England and other countries
have done in this regard can be done in
the United States. In view OF the fact
that the people in large cities and
towns have their mails delivered ut
their doors, at least once, and in many
instances several times each day, it is
but 4 matter OF simple justice that the
people residing in the country should
have infinitely superior mail facilities
to those enjoyed by them at the present
time. The postmaster generals efforts
are meeting with hearty response from
the masses OF the people throughout
the country, and the result, as / say,
finally, | have no doubt, will be an en-
tire success"
The house postofiice committee to-day
agreed to report favorably bills appro-
priating 100000 for the extension Of
free delivery in rural districts and pro.
viding ior the issue OF fractional posta.
notes. Tho sum OF $4,000 is appropri-
atcd to carry out the provisions OF the
latter bill.
