Ex-Banker Spalding's Theft
From the University of
Illinois.
Now Accused of Graver Crimes
Committed While He Was
Treasurer.
Ex Governor Altgeld Found to Have
Been ponsibe for His
Appointment.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 14.-C. w. Spald-
ing has admitted that he hypothecated
the missing bonds belonging to the State
University. This admission was made to
f. M. Mckay. the University's president,
at the office of Oliver, Spalding's attor-
ney, on Monday evening.
I'VE saw Spalding only few minutes"
said President Mckay to-day. He ad-
mitted that he had hypothecatsd the
bonds. though not all of them. We ex-
pect that complete report of his doings
will be presented to Mr.. Keith as soon as
the latter qualities as treasurer"
SpaIding is either in hiding or has fed.
Nobody seems 10 know his wherea bouts.
An examination of the Globe Savings
Banks vaults disclosed no paper of any
value. Several thousand dollars in worth
less bonds were about all the assets dis
closed IN the search. 1t is claimed many
bonds belonging TO the university have
been altered. From the face of the bonds
the University's warning that the bonds
were not negotiable has been erased. 1t
now looks as though Spalding will have
hard time to keep out af the penitentiary.
Lawyers say he committed grave crime
if he made the erasure.
The statement that Ex-Governor Alt
geld was responsible for Spalling's elec
tion as treasurer of the university was re-
iterated by President Mckay to-day. The
latter also declared that it was upon the
advice of Altgeid alone that Spalding's
first bond was accepted In 1898. Mckay
said:
'Spalding was elected treasurer on the
Governors recommendation in the first
place. 1t was understood all along that
Altseld wanted him for the position and
that was why he was given it.
1t is becoming more apparent that the
ex bankers business Irregularities have
been to a considerable extent the result of
domestic Irregularities. Spaldlng's in
fatuation for his former typewriter and
stenogra pher, Louise Ervine, has been
the root OF more evil than is generally
conceded. 1t is known that he layished
money upon her. The scandal was SO no.
torious that Mrs. Spalding secured separa-
ton papers several years ago.
Inquiry at the Office of the State Auditor
to-day developed the fact that not soli-
tary cent of the big appropriation made to
the university two years ago remains to
the credit of the institution in the State
treasury. With the official approvsI OF
Ex-Governor Altgeld, whose signature was
necessary before any OF these funds could
be withdrawn. every cent was transferred
long ago to the custody of Spalding.

Not Be Admitted.

Swarms of Chinese who expected to get
into the United States under the very
broad authority given by the act for the
admission OF alien contract laborers con-
nected with exhibits at the Tennessee ex-
position have been checked by the Treas
ury Department. Yesterday the first con-
signment from the Flowery Kingdom
arrived at Portal, a North Dakota Gus
toms station on the Canadian line. The
party consists of 179 persons.
The department ordered the Collector
OF Customs at Pembina, in whose dis rct
Portal is situated. to hold the party and
wre all information btainable about il.
When the news of yesterdays arrival was
received to-day Secretary Gage directed
the Collector to detain the Chinese until
further orders. Then he asked Colonel
Budd Reeve, Solicitor Of the Treasury,
for his opinion on the right of Chinese TO
make entrance under the law concerning
alien Iaborers needed at the exposition.
