PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
A Chicago Mans Story of Bank Defaica-
lion and Wrongf full Accusation.

"The author who proposes to write
the real and only American novel may
find a very fair plot In the story l am
about to relate" said Frank n. Harris
of Chicago, TO a writer for the WASH
ington Star. Several years ago the peo-
pie of a small western city began 10
wonder how the cashier of the leading
bank could afford TO live as well as ne
appeared to be doing. His salary, 1t Is
true, was very liberal, but his expendi-
lures far exceeded II. He built himself
a splendid residence, had his horses anu
carriages. and altogether conducted MIN
self like man who owned rather IMAM

dence of the bank directors. however. and
the rumors and gossip that reached their
ears apparently had no effect upon them.
'"rhe cashier was suddenly taken sick
with a lingering malady, and lay In
barely conscious condition for two or
three months. when death finally Claimed
him. An examination of his books wnich
followed his death showed an apparent
deficiency of over $4,000. His real friends
were thunderstruck, and would not De-

English Shipping Statistics.
Uondon Times, July 7th)

From an advance copy OF 'Iloyds
Register Book" which IL now being Is
sued, we gather many interesting facts
IN connection with out mercantile marine.
Ii appears that 2.il0 iron steamers Of
tonnage of 21G9.5jj tons. and 1908 steel
steamers of tonnage of 4,3i7,iT tons. are
classed In the United Kingdom out OF
total OF 3,l32 iron steamers of 3,l3s.3i0 tons
and 2.1l6 steel steamers Of 5,JO5,Di tons
or sailing vessels, l,l09 ships of l,4l6,lOl
tons and AGA steel ships OF sj7,59l tons are
classed in the United Kingdom and Of
wooden ships. including composite vessels,
$50 Of a tonnage OF ll9, 1856 tons are also
classed. The total number of vessels
classed in the book for the present year
is 30,72l, with total tonnage Of A,JG9, 1876
tons. This compared with last years
book. which had 5000 vessels Of a total
tonnage of 24.2JS.375 tons, shows de-
crease in the number of vessels. but an
increase in the total tonnage, from which
we gather that the vessels added during
the year continue to be OF larger size
than formerly. Another table gives d list
Of vessels removed from the Register"
owing to loss, breaking UP, etc. During
the year GA vessels of a tonnage of 265,-
$50 tons were either lost or broken up.
In addition to these, 800 vessels of 2i1, C5S
tons were also removed from the istbls-
ter" of which 27l of 225,O79 tons were sold
to foreigners, II of oops tons neSerred
to British colonies, and the bal - for
other reasons. During the year 1924
i05 steel vessels of a tonnage of s32.569
tons were built in the United Kingdom,
as well as 81 iron vessels OF S.i99 TONS
one composite vessel OF 1870 tons. and eight
wooden vessels of 1,l2i tons. 1t will thus
be seen that steel has replaced almost
entirely iron and its forerunner, wood, in
the composition OF vessels. In Germany
81 steel vessels OF a tonnage OF 53,62
tons, and in the United States q steel
vessels OF a tonnage Of 53.0l2, were built
during the same period. Another very
interesting table is that referring 10 the
speed of the various steamers. Among
the list of those steaming 10 knots and
over figure the "grayhounds OF the At
lantic," as we'll as several fast river
steamers and channel boats. 1t Is typical
of the changes that have been made
I'm the speed of steamers to find that the
Alaska, which not very long ago held
the blue riband' of the Atlantic, IS now
relocated to the list OF II knots. and her
sister ship. the Arizona, to those OF 10
knots

feated by Kltte Halvorson, the candidate

fitting here that general argument

others to which ! ask brief attention
1t Is the effort to place capital on an
equal footing with, II not above, labor

assumed that labor Is available only III

pendent Of capital. Capital Is only the
fruit of labor. and could never have ex'
