ROBBED ABANK FOR YEARS.
EDWARD CARTER, 4 COUPON CLERK,
 ADMITS HIS GUILT.

4 Discrepancy of Nearly Thirty Thousand
 Dol nrs was Found Yesterday by tho
 onicers on Comparing . Baiance-he is
 Placed UEder Arrest.
 New York, Dec. 26.-President w. w. Sherman, of the Bank of Commerce. made this statement to-day:
 The National Bank of Commerce has discovered dedication by It's trans fer and coupon clerk. Edward R. Car ter, amounting to about $3o.oOO. Car ter has been in the bank twenty-nine years, beginning as messenger boy and being promoted from time to time till he reached his present position. Among his other duties he was required to re- ceive and pay coupons and maturing or called bonds. On comparing a pal ance this morning the officers discov- cred discrepancy of some $2S,OOO, which he accounted for by claiming to have paid in error that amount of bonds be- fore their maturity. When asked to produce the bonds he was unable to do so, and admitted his guilt. It Is not learned that he speculated or indulged in any vices. He claims to have used the money in his living expenses. He has been placed under arrest The loss, of course. Is not a serious one for the bank, which has capital of $5,OOOO0O and surplus and undivided profits of co h,s% hn none the less distressing as Garter had the confidence of all who came in con- tact with him, and has wife and two children.
 The directors of the bank are J. Pier pont Morgan. William Libbey, Fred Sturges, Charles Lanier. c. H. Russell, A. E. Orr, J. s. Kennedy, Woodbury Langdon and w. w. Sherman.
 President Sherman said that the de- falcation must have extended over a considerable space of time as Carter's books were balanced every month. He concealed the dedication by covering into various accounts of railroads and corporations smaller sums which, of course, were not paid, but were so cleverly hidden so that 1t was by an ac- cident that the dedication was dis covered.
 If it had not been for recent defalca- tions, which put all bank officials on their guard, it is very probable that Carters statement to the effect that he paid coupons ahead of time would have been accepted. The exact amount of the dedication can only be ascertained by an inspsetion or thA hooks fas4a long period, but the amount Is stated on Carter's confession. g }r

MOST DELEGATE oUEIrc ON
Asked of the Attorney aener.i nrains
 Stamp Collectors.


 Washington, Dec. 26.-one the most delicate and intricate qd lions ever submitted for a legal opinion to the department of justice has been asked of Attorney General olney by the treasury department. It Is whether stamp collectors have the right to print and sell fac-similes of United States and foreign postage stamps.
 The business has attained consid- erable proportions and the stamps turned out have gradually reached a perfection in artistic finish and color ing that makes them hardly distln- guishable from genuine. The best en- gravers and printers are employed in the work and while Chief Hazen Of the secret service does not charge that any such stamps are used illegally he contends that the possibilities for fraud on revenue are startling.
