Los ANGELES, March 24-The most i'm

disappearance at the time was teiegraphed
all over the country.
Cronkhte was elected County Treasurer

County. He was very popular. and at the
end of his first term was reelected. SO

presented on the county treasury for
$4,000. The holder demanded the money
and was told by Cronkhite that there was
no money in the treasury and he was uH-
able TO pay any amount. Immediately
after the presentation of this warrant
Cronkhite disappeared and no trace could

dicted him, but the officials of Warren
County we're not able to find him.
The Sheriff of an adjoining county got
a elew to Cronkhite's whereabouts and
took it up. He found that Mrs. Cronkhite
was receiving letters through another
party from her husband, the letters bear
ing the date and postmark of Los An
geles. He arrived in this city about two
weeks ago and reported the case to Chief
Gass and detectives were put on the
matter.
Cronkite came to the postoffice this
morning to get letters from his wife and
was arrested. He acknowledged that he
was the guilty party and only desired to
transact a little business before he was
taken back to Indiana on the requisition.
Cronkite is bout 30 years of age and does
not gamble or drink. He says he lost
money in an unfortunate real estate spec

important criticism advanced by Mr..
Cleveland was that the phraseOl0gy OF the
Bland bill was defective in the judgment
of eminent legal authorities. The Presi-

section directing the coinage of the seign-
forage was such that while it seemed to
authorize $50 600, 900 it was open to the
construction that the amount should pe

Even Geary Joins in the Praise of

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The members
of the California and the entire Pacific

mitting themselves in favor of or against
the proposed new Chinese treaty. When
asked for opinions Republicans and
Democrats alike have been loath to express
themselves and have evaded answers by

certaining definitely. or from an authorita-
tive source, just what the treaty provided.

One point raised by the defendants was that
Nathan Blum's plea OF guilty was conviction
of crime. which rendered him incompetent to
testify. The court referring 10 this, said:
The rule Is we'll settled that there must be a
judgment of conviction pronounced by the

is matter of doubt whether the charge to
which the witness pleaded guilty Is punishable
