CASHIERS BIG SHORTAGE.
Confidential Clerk to Herman OeIrich
g Co. Defaulter.

New York. Oct. THE World says:
When the North German Lloyd steam
er Barbarossa steams into port she
will be boarded by detectives who will
search the ship for Carl Faber, said to
be a cabin passenger.
Faber has been for many years en-
ployed as cashier with the firm of Her
man Oelrich K Co, agents for the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany in this city.
Faber has charge of the financial di-
vision of the importing department of
the firm.
Four weeks ago Faber went to Mr..
Oelrich's and asked for a vacation. Fa-
Der said he was run down in health and
his employers suggested that a trip
abroad might benefit him. He left for
Europe soon after.
At that time there was no suspicion
of the mans honesty. But an exami-
nation of his books was made by the
clerk who took his place and it was
discovered, it is said that something
was wrong with the accounts.
Experts were put to work and re-
ported it is said, that there was a
shortage of at least $4,000. It was
limited that the amount may reach as
high as $500, 900.

"CASSIO'' KALOUNER.
He Values His Reputation Above All
Else.

Yesterday afternoon Constable VIII
Stewart of Justice Guys court went
out to the insane asylum to notify John
KaIOuner to appear in court this morn
ing to testify against Carrie Alexander
and Jennie Williams who robbed him in
an alley on the night of September 26.
KalOuner had been taking in the
town and why he was in the alley he
did not say but suddenly the quiet of
the night was broken into by yells of
murder, police, robbers and help" A
policeman rushed to the scene of the
trouble expecting to find a crowd of
militiamen trying to kidnap some of the
jointests of Topeka but instead he
found KalOuner holding two dusky
damsels and yelling for help. He told
the officer that he had been robbed of
his money and the officer arrested the
two women and took them down to
police station. In the morning Ka-
lOuner was not there to appear against
them and the officer then swore out a
warrant and held them and the case
was set for today.
When Stewart arrived at the asy-
Ium he asked for Kalouner and found
him in the tailor shop. Stewart went
in and read the summons to him and
before he had gotten half way through
the document the iTate Bohemian COM
menced to swear and tear his hair. He
locked the door and started toward
heavy pair of cutting shears such as
tailOrS use. Stewart thought that per-
haps he had made a mistake and had
gotten a patient instead of an emplOye
and he felt for his weapons. KaIouner
roasted the justice court and the judge,
and the constable for coming after him.
The constable stood on one side of a
large table and the maddened Kalouner
stood on the other side and swore that
he would not go to court and lose his
reputation. The case came up this
morning and KaIOuner was not there
The case was postponed until October
16, and the court says if the witness is
not there he will be brought in. Stew
art says that hereafter he will get
some one else to serve papers on per

WAS A RECORD BREAKER.
Yesterdays Deaths and New Cases of
Fever at New Orleans Increased.

New Orleans, Oct. Even as early
as o'clock yesterday afternoon the
day had proved a record breaker, both
as to the number of cases and as to
the number of deaths that had been
reported.
The increase of cases was not unex-
pected. The weather had been warm
during the afternoon and especially as
the large territory the board of health
has to cover makes perfect scrutiny i'm
possible, the germs are being distribut-
ed which, if the totality of cases was
fewer, would easily be restrained.
While the number of cases under
treatment is in the neighbOrhOOd of 250
there are many houses which have not
yet been disinfected but in which the
patients have been declared well. Less
restraint than usual is imposed on the
inmates of such places, and the result
has been that the number of foci has
been increased. But the total death
rate is still small in proportion to the
number of cases.
At s o'clock 40 new cases had been re-
ported and the following deaths:
Jean M COrte, Isolation hospital;
Emma We'll, 1921 CambrOnne Carroll
ton); Adeline Rogers. % Hospital; Rob
ert Parry, 1901 Laurel; NJ. P. Brady,
Jackson Barracks.
Two of the days new cases are in AL
giers, making seven that have appear
ed in that suburb, The disease has ap-
parently died out at Ocean Springs.

BIG CUBAN BATTLE.
Insurgents, Strongly Intrenched,
Easily Defeat the Spanish.


Easily Defeat the Spanish.
New York, Oct IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana, says:
A big battle occurred October 2, in
Camarones Hills, not far from Matan-
zas between the Spanish under General
Molina and rebels under the command
of Betancourt, Sanguily and Raoul
Arrange The fight began at 9 o'clock
in the morning and continued all day.
The official report published here
states that Molina attacked rebel posi-
ton and drove the rebels out with great
loss. The reports state that General
Molina had his horse shot under him.
The Herald'S correspondent at Matan-
zas has obtained an account of the
fight from a Spanish official who was
present. From it appears that the reb-
el infantry were strongly entrenched
In an almost inaccessible position in
the hills and all efforts to dislodge
them We're futile, resulting only in
heavy loss for the attacking forces.
The insurgents had only a few meI
killed and jeered and taunted the
Spanish during the whole engagement.
General Molina narrowly escaped
death.
Enraged at his failure, he returned
to the attack the next day but with no
better success. A large number of
wounded and dying Spanish soldiers
were brought into Matanzas.

PERU ON GOLD BASIS.
Policy Adopted After a Long
CLOSE Fight.

New York. Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
After a discussion. which continued
for several days, the chamber of depu-
ties of Peru. adopted the gold standard
by a majority of one vote.
The plan for the gold standard was
sent to the chamber some time ago. af-
ter it had been approved by the presi-
dent and the cabinet. The cabinet be-
lieved that it is the only possible solu~
tiOn of the financial troubles which be-
set Peru on every side.
There was a long fight over the qUes-
tion in the senate, the government sup
porters arraying themselves unani-
mousIy in favor of the gold standard
The narrow margin of their victory
shows how persistently the question
was contested.
