4 Shortage OF $780,,
BrookIine National Bank
Teller Accused.
Mr.. THATCHER IS UNDER ARREST.
Matter VIII Probably BE Settled Out
side OF Court-He Was Formerly
Connected with the Now Defunct
Maverick Bank.

Boston, March wv. Percy Thatcher.
che teller of the Brookline National bank,
Is charged by the officials of that bank
with the embezzlement Of 5000.
Thatcher was arrested Monday night
about $50 O'Clock, after the books of the
institution had been examined. He was
taken to the police station. where he re-
mained over night, and yesterday ap'
peared before the district court. He
pleaded not guilty, and the case was con-
tinued.
Thatcher has been in the employ of the
Brookline National bank for two years,
and was previously in the employ of the
Maverick National bank OF this city up to
the time when that institution collapsed.
At the Maverick he was one of the con-
fidential clerks of President Potter, and
he was highly recommended to the Brook
line bank officials He entered that insti-
tuition as a clerk. but his knowledge OF
banks and banking affairs made him an
invaluable man, aud, consequently, he
was promoted to the position of paying
teller.
The patrons of the bank held the young
man in the greatest esteem, and on every
hand .he opportunity for advancement
opened up for him brighter prospects, but
the temptation was too great and the
much trusted teller became victim to
the appetite for gain.
The discrepancies I'm Thatcher's ac-
counts were not discovered until several
days ago, and an expert was put to work
upon the books.
He Confessed.
Thatcher had no idea as to what was
going on until Monday afternoon, when
he was requested to wait until the expert
had completed an examination of certain
books He was confronted with lthe facts
and protested his innocence, but finally
confessed in view of the disclosures made.
Thatcher took his arrest very coolly, and
refused to talk. The bank officials also
were quite reticent regarding the real
facts in the affair, but admitted that
there was shortage of $500. Whether
1t would reach higher figure or not they
would not state.
May he Settled Up.
This phase of the case leads many
Brookline people to express the opinion
that the matter will not be prosecuted in
the courts the bank officials manifesting
. disposition to fix mp the matter.
Thatcher's bond will amply compensate
for any loss.
Thatcher's friends to help him out of his
difficulty, and unless the amount which
the bank is short Is increased. the end of
the criminal proceedings will take place
IN the district court.

WHO is THE SIXTH N. BE-. MAN?
The Famous Narragansett SIx-oared
Crew that Rem Rowcd In.

The Famous Narragansett Six-oared
Crew that Rem Rowcd In.
In the biographical notices in the press
of the late Orville M. Remington men
tion has been made of the fact that he
was one of a famous Dared crew of the
Narragansett Boat Club. An old member
OF the Club said last evening that he and
several members of the Club had tried to
figure up who the sixth man in the old
crew was--they could name i've and most
of these are dead.
The five recalled were Harry IT. Cornett,
Jr., Phil Sayles, Seth Brownell, Charles
M. Smith and Major Remington. Cornett
was stroke and the six -oared shell was
named after his father, whose money set
the crew up I'm business. The shell was
one of the old fashioned kind, built before
the days of sliding seats. Sayies
was bow oar. Remington was In the
waist. Cornett, Brownell and Remington
are dead. Sayles went to New Jersey and
has passed out OF the ken OF the N. Ii. G.
men. Smith, who was superintendent OF
lights under Mayor Doyle, is In Boston and
was in this city two summers ago as q
prime pusher, perhaps the inventor, OF
the well remembered cylindrical steel car
which B. A. Atkinson, the Hub furniture
man advertised himself with for time.
1t Is interesting to note that the
"famous" six cared crew OF the N. B. c.
would probably have inconsiderable
claims to fame In these days, although
they were gallant and sturdy body OF
young men. They did not. however, wipe
up the country, as has been reported, or
anything like il. Back in the '70's they beat
the Harvard freshmen on the Seekonk,
and on this victory rests their chief claim
to a niche in fame's temple. The New
York Nassaus, now still thriving organi-
zation, beat them, however, i'm one OF the
old-fashioncd -oared races, but the
n. B. c. six carried off their share of
honors, and wiped up everything in the
nearby country.
Remington, by the way, was the second
president OF the National Association OF
American Oarsmen of America. The late
Arthur +. Dexter was the first president.
Who was the sixth man in the famous
six-oared crew? Doubtless he may be
alive and well known in town and n good
many OF the N. B. G.. men will find the
name on their tongues IL anybody could
pronounce IL.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SIR--I have not seen any very striking
evidence in your columns of the tempest
that is now agitating the gambling ele-
ment OF this city. In view of the request
that Captain Stevens made TO those who
were reported to be conducting gambling
establishments-or perhaps 1t was a COM
mand-to close their places of business; i
would like to inquire in the name of law
and order why certain class OF law
breakers should be treated with so much
tenderness and consideration? IL people
are violating the law, why should
they not be arrested and brought
TO trial? Why should the gam
bling fraternity be treated any differ
emily than any other class OF law breakers?
What particular authority docs Captain
Stevens possess more than any other citi-
zeu to request PEOPLE to cease violating
the law? IL, i'm the absence OF any proof,
but upon mere rumor, Captain Stevens
can command any person TO close his place
OF business, why can he not close every
place of business in the city IL IL should
once be ETuited about that they were all
engaged i'm unlawful practices? Upon
what system does our executive authori-
ties, of which the police are part, pro-
coed in performing their duties OF enforc-
ing the law? Do they proceed upon evidence
or rumor in their treatment OF crime and
criminals? IL upon evidence, then
why not test its value and c-es;sility be-
fore the proper tribunal? II upon rumor,
who Is safef The city OF Providence is
rich and powerful. II has clothed its
executive authorities with ample power
TO punish crime. IL would seem that IA
was hardly their province TO engage in
the business OF requesting criminals 90
cease to ply their avocation. II we have
a set of executive officers that have no
higher conception OF their duties as sworn
guardians of law and order than Co simply
read the riot act To men detected in the
cool, deliberate violation OF criminal law
IL is time they were retired Co private life
and their places occupied by men made
OF little sterner stuff.

Portrayal Of Noble Frenchman By Phil

1t was after the review that made
the personal acquaintance of the off,
GERS with whom was to have the good
fortune to fight for a cause which was
already dear to me. All made me most
cordially welcome. but it was with
Kearny that 4 found myself most at
home. He it was who could speak to
me of the French army in Algeria in
1910, and of the memories left by NV
family in that country. He did so in
terms which deeply touched the heart
of the exile, the son of the Due dor
leans Kearny had participated ia one
of those campaigns on African ground
which brought out strongly the merits
of the French soldier. He had also as.
sociated himself with the triumphs of
France in the Italian campaign of 1859.
One who saw Philip Kearny reco4-
nized in him the typical soldier. AS
early as 1S49 the young and brilliant
cavalry officer had lost his left arm be-

battle of Churubusco. His infirmity
did not prevent him from always

horses, which he controlled on the
march with rare elegance, holding in
his only hand his reins and his naked
sword. A head, the picture of energy.
framed by the cape which almost in
variably hung about his shoulders. a
strongly marked nose and a piercing
eye, gave him the look of an eagle.
His abrupt speech and his imperious
manner denoted a proud disposition,
and character incapable of fattery
or of discrimination. But though at
first his manner was not always fitted
