A HUGE CONSPIRACY
To Defraud Chicago Banks-The Em-
bezzlers Wined and Dined Off the
ed-They Were Implicitly Trusted-
A GO-BetWeen Makes the Exposures.
CHICAGO, Ang. 2.-The flight of George
Bartels, paying teller of the Central Trust
and Savings bank, with So, 900 of the banks
cash has brought to light an apparent con-
spiracy to defraud five Chicago banks. Over
$50, was secured from Bartels' former
employers, but has since been made good.
Another bank is said to have lost $40, 900,
which was also made good. Three men,
formerly connected with the Chicago Bank
note company, have been arrested, charged
with conspiracy to defraud and the issu-
ance of fraudulent paper.
These are William A. Forbes, N. w.
Burnside and Charles Manson. Bartels
was the fourth man wanted. Charles
Nichols, go-between, has made affidavit
which purports to expose the scheme.
Forbes and Manson we're vouched for by
General A. G. Fuller and men of wealth,
who appear to have trusted them, owing
to their connection with Burnside. They
opened accounts with five banks, deposited
fraudulent checks, drafts, etc, and later
drew out the cash. By collision
with Bartels the great run of the pa
per was dumped on the Central Trust and
Savings bank Nichols SAYS the con-
epirators wined, dined and clothed Bar

teller and friends nightly at houses of ill

IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.

The United States Government Maxi
ing Considerable Preparation for
Viewing Mars-Snoyv Discovered on
Small and Near.
WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-The approach of
the planet Mars and it's satellites is being
closely watched by the scientists at the
United States naval observatory under
the direction of Professor Asaph Hall,
who first announced the presence of
the moons of Mars. Mr.. Hall said
to-day that the calculations previous
ly made upon the movements of the
satellites have been verified. He thinks
the whitish looking mass at the planets
south pole is snow. He has seen the mass
diminish as the movement of the planet
brings it more directly under the sun.
Professor Hall has looked in vain for the
double canals of Schiaparelli. He finds
that one satellite makes three revolutions
within twenty four hours. The
smaller satellite is only eight
miles in diameter and is
less than 4 900 miles from the planet. The
other one is $4,000 miles distant and is
about twenty miles in diameter. If view
ed from the surface of Mars they would
appear to be about one-fifth the size of the
full moon of this earth, and they revolve
80 rapidly that the inner one appears to
move through the sky from west to east.
The astronomers expect important dis
coveries will be made within the next few
