to permit him to have counsel and con-

under advisement until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
By direction of the commissioners OF
the District of Columbia, the inquest
was continued publicly this morning In
Wizards hall, instead of in the First
precinct police station. Yesterdays
exciting proceedings, when Col. Aims
worth was beset by several hundred OF
his Subordinates and threats of hanging
him were made, were conducive to the
presence of large crowds. When the
inquest began clerks and others were
crowded in nearly every part of the
hall. In order to prevent a repetition
of the trouble of yesterday, squad OF
police attended. Many prominent
persons were present. Just be-
fore the inquest began Judge
Jere Wilson, we'll known Washington
lawyer, entered the hall with Smith
Thompson, the elderly clerk who pre-
sided over the Indignation meeting yes
terday. Judge Wilson had volunteered
his services in the interest of the en-
ployes of the record pension division,
and his appearance was the signal for
an outburst of applause from the clerks
of that office. Hugh Taggart, assistant
district attorney; S. M. Thomas, attor-
ney for the District of Columbia. were
there. Col. Ainsworth and his attorney,
r. Ross Perry, did not appear. Several

OFFICERS AS INDIAN AGENTS.
Bottineau Heartily Approves the
New Policy.


New Policy.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Post
this morning says:
Judge j. b. Bottineau, Of st. Paul,
who has large percentage of Indian
blood in his veins, and who represents
the interests of the Chippewa Indians
OF Minnesota and North Dakota. is in
the city. He has no great opinion for
the utility of the new league recently
organized in New York city for the pur-
pose of aiding the red man, and its
scheme as to the land question he thinks
visionary. What l want to see
changed he said. lis the present system
of sending Indian children to Eastern
schools like Carlisle, Pa. 1t does no
good whatever. What the government
should do is to put the schools on the
reservations. 1t would be far more
humane and beneficial. | endorse heart
lily the policy of appointing army Off
GERS as Indian agents. The army men
as a rule are familiar with the Indian
character, while civilians are not. Be-
sides, an officer of the army would be
far too jealous of his reputation and
honor to yield to any temptation to
treat the wards of the nation with in
justice. He could not afford to cheat
them or try to use his position to make
money illegally, as not few of the old
agents did"

FOUND $4,000 SHORT.
Three Officers of a New York
City Savings Bank Discovered
to Be Defaulters.
Part OF the Money Returned-The
Defalcations Extend Over
Twenty Years.

New YORK, June 13.-Defalcations
aggregating $4,000 have been discov-
cred in the Irving Savings institution,
96 Warren street, New York. The short
age was discovered by the state bank
examiners, who are still at work on the
books, and will not complete their work
of scrutiniZing the banks accounts for
some time, as there are 1000 individual
accounts to investigate, besides the
regular bank books. The Off
GERS implicated by the statement

dent of the institution, and has over
drawn his account to the extent Of S27,-

of this city, and Paying Teller ID. ID.
1ompkins. After the defalcations were
discovered the designations of the three
officers named were received and ac-
cepted. and the state bank superintend-
ent, Charles M. Preston, reported the
facts in the case to the district attorney.
Messrs. Sterne and Rushmore, counsel
for the Irving Savings Institution, to-
night gave out the following statement:
''On the Oath of April last. Charles M.
Preston, superintendent of banks OF the
state of New York, commenced an eX-
animation of the Irving Savings insti-
tuition, 96 Warren street, which is not
yetterminated. On making the inves-
LEGATION the superintendent discovered a
deficiency of $70,800. caused partly
by the oYerdrafts of Clarence ID. Heaton
and William H. Buxton, officers of
the institution, and the abstraction OF
funds by ID. D. Tompkins, the paying
nj ,fvyG fIntr dnII In rC
of overdrafts, made by w. III. Buxton,
the secretary, were at once made good
by him. by the payment of such cash,
and he also gave first-class security for
the payment of any further sum which
might at any time be found to be due by
him to the institution. About 81, 200 was
paid over to the institution by Clarence
ID. Heaton, the president. The
president and secretary presented
their designations, which were
accepted. Under the circum-
stances, there will be no loss of money
whatever TO the institutions; even If it
had made loss of $45,0 900 (being about
the balance of the deficiency. it could
not in any wise affect the institution or
its depositors, as the bank has now a
clean surplus of $675,000. Supt. Preston
has placed the facts in his possession
before the district attorney, and further
developments as to the guilty parties will
probably follow"
Lawyer Stern said he could place his
hands on the ex.president, secretary
and paving teller whenever required to
| do SO, but that the case is one for the
district attorney to act upon. Tomp-
kins is sixty years of age and has been
with the bank more than twenty years.
Mr.. Heaton and Mr.. Buxton had eaeh
been connected with the bank fol
about thirty years. Supt. Preston to
night said that the defalcations had been
going on for twenty years. Tompkins
said that he had used the money he alb
stracted for living expenses. and Heaton
said that he had lost $4,000 by going or
