WANAMAKER TELLS.
Refuses to Run for State Treasurer
of Pennsylvania and Gives His
Reasons.

Philadelphia. April 12.-John Wanna
maker this afternoon declined to be a
candidate for State Treasurer Of Penn
svlvania. In his letter OF declination
10 the committee of the National Re-
publican League of Business Men,
which urged him TO stand for the office,
he makes some interesting statements.
One reason for his action is stated to
be the conclusion reached after full in
CURRY, that the present legislature will
enact a law providing for the payment
of interest upon State deposits, and
thus correct the most vicious evils in
the conduct of the State treasury.
Continuing, Mr.. Wanamaker says:
"The present system of electing a State
treasurer to conduct the State treasury
as an adjunct to the State committee Of
the Republican party is fraught with
incalcuIable evil. FavOrite banks and
trust COMPARES sometimes specially
organized and Differed. receive depOs-
its and CONTROL State moneys far out Of
PROMOTION TO the capital paid in. and
are not subject to any supervision OF
investments except under the same
power that elects the State treasurer
Could ANYTHING but powerful polit-
zeal machine holding the treasury IN
der control. deprive the public schools
and suffering charities Of the State for
months at a time of the moneys due
them whica are lying idle for some
body's benefit in the faVorite deposit
tories?"

How Safe Burglars Can Tell When They
Strike a Combination Figure.

Cleveland Leader.
In the county Jail yesterday afternoon
John Atkinson, the alleged robber and
PAL Of ONeil who is now serving a
long term in the penitentiary for one OF
the most daring "holdups" in the his
tory Of the city did not know that the
Leader reporter was newspaper man.
consequently talked more freely than
is his wont. The conversation drifted
from one subject to another, and all
the while Deputy Barry was playing
with the combination lock on the door
Of the bull pen
That's pretty good lock-" said
Atkinson.
Did you ever work any of these kind
of locks?" asked the deputy.
Atkinson smiled. THAT lock on a
safe would be easy" said he.
Come out and let us sec how you
would go about anything like that,
said the deputy, at the same time open
ing the door. Atkinson did as he was
hidden, and at once commenced to eX-
plain the mechanism of the lock.
well, let's see you try il" said the
deputy, becoming interested. Atkinson
hesitated for several minutes, saying
that he could not work that combl-
nation because it did not have the
same backing as a safe lock. Deputy
Barry insisted upon being shown how
it was done Atkinson got down upon
his knees and went to work. He kneel-
ed as close to the lock as possible, and
put his tongue upon the metal ring
around the knob of the combination.
Then he slowly turned the knob OF the
combination. Deputy Barry watched
him intentiy, and suddenly stopped Az
kinsCn in his work. He had made the
first move in the combination correctly,
and the deputy thought this enough.
Atkinson was willing to stop, and then
explained his work.
"You perhaps know" said Atkinson
chat the nerves in the end Of the
tongue are very delicate and sensitive.
Well, when the combination gets to the
right point, the minutest click is sent
at once to abe brain. That's how we
know we are right"
The deputy was astounded. William
Clark. the alleged murderer, was stand
Ing near at the time. He seemed to be
perfectly familiar with Atkinson's meth
DDS. and Immediately proposed another
and better method. He said: 1T is
much easier if you have a darning
needle, place it on the tumblers and
nut the other end in hollow tooth. If
there is nerve in the tooth the first
click, no matter how slight, sends a
thrill through your head.
I've tried the scheme too" said At
kinson. land have found it to be a
good one"
