WANTS Bail RETURNED.
Bwindler Reeds Counsel Trying to Re-
cover the Forfeited Bonds.

WORCESTER, Mass. Feb. 3.-Colo-
mel w. A. Gile. counsel for John Spen-
Ger, alias Reed. the alleged New Jersey
swindler, filed in the district courts in
Gardner. South Framingham, Lowell
and Brockton, where defaults have been
recorded against his client, a petition
for review Of the proceedings. In the
numerous cases against Reed il is set
forth in the petition that he gave cash
bail in recognizance, and when he de-
faulted the money deposited was ad-
judged forfeited.
The defendants counsel claims in his
petition that before the time for Reeds
appearance in either of these cases an
order for his arrest was made on civil
claim in favor Of a claimant from out Of
this state, the ad damnum Of which was
for $1,000; that to prevent arrest on this
civil process he asked the court 70 con-
tinue his case until he could obtain a
writ Of protection against arrest on
civil process, but that said case was not
continued. and he was defaulted and
the amount deposited.
The petition asks that the order of
forfeiture be reconsidered and reversed
and that the amount forfeited be paid
TO the defendant. Reed is now In the
East Cambridge jail.

OUINLAN'S MISTAKE.
NewYork Bank Cashier Makes
Unauthorized Loans.
HIS RESIGNATION IS ACCEPTED.
The Amount Involved Is s393,OO0, and
One of the Directors Says 1t Is Con-
sldered Total Loss. Despite
the Securities Given.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-At the meeting
Of the directors Of the Chemical Nation
al bank the resignation Of Cashier w. ].
Quinlan, Jr., was received in the ac-
companying self explanatory letter:
"Gentlemen-Within the last few
months I have made loans without con-
sulting the president to the amount Of
about s393000 on collaterais which I
knew that you would not approve, and
hence have concealed these loans from
you by methods which were not right.
81 have not been interested person.
ally in them and have not received one
dollar of the proceeds of them, nor in
but one instance received any benefit
from them, and then but for a moderate
about. nor have / ever speculated to
the extent of a single share in Wall
street. My error has arisen from over
confidence in the representations Of
those to whom these loans were made,
and while hope eventually no loss will
arise from them I acknowledge the jus
tiee of the request for my resignation,
which is hereby presented, both as a
director and as cashier of the Chemical
National bank. This terminates a
faithful service (until the above) Of SO
years to the institution. which has just
ly been the pride Of my life"
The resignation was accepted.
The loans had been made to Francis
Cradle, who is a promoter of mining
and land irrigation schemes in the west,
and to John S. Silver, president Of a
carbon company. The revelation Of
these loans was made voluntarily by
Quinlan. who called on President
George G. Williams at his home.
The securities on which the loans
We're made consist Of western securi-
ties Of various sorts. among them those
of the International Land and Ditch
company. AS cashier. Mr.. Quinlan had
the right to make the loans, though he
should have consulted with the presi-
dent when such an amount was in
Volved.
President Williams made the follow
ing statement:
Mr.. Quinlan's letter tells the whole
story. We think that absolutely the
worst is known, and we are strongly in
the hope that Mr. Quinlan's expecta-
tions are true and that a large part of
the money will be recovered. We would
rather face the matter and let the pub
lie know the whole truth"
A director of the bank had this 10
say:
I'VE may recover all this money, but
for the present we prefer to look upon
it as a total loss, and then see what
we can recover later"

NEWBURG, N. Y. Feb. 3.-The en-
ployees of the two big overall shops OF

struck yesterday in sympathy with the
30 men who refused to work under the
schedule of prices agreed on by the

day, and the pressers declared that they
found the rates in the schedule below

present schedule, and II. White OF New
York, secretary Of the executive board
Of United Garment Workers of Ameri-
ca, has ordered the strikers TO return to
work, saying they were in error. At a
meeting last night the strikers deter
mined to stay out regardless Of the ex-
ecutive board. The strikers have been
assured aid from the Central Labor
union.
The Newburg branch, No. Is, of the
United Garment Workers of America is

MADE 5000 IN TwO MONTHS.

There are many boys at Ithaca who
are hewing their own way. One OF them
here is a Freshman in the Sibley Col
lege of Mechanic Arts.
He was born in a small village near
Buffalo. After he was graduated from
the local high school he secured a
teachers certificate and taught school
long enough to realize that to obtain
any great success in this line he would
have tolhave a university education. A
year ago he went to Buffalo and enter
ed the high school. In spite of odds,
which would have been overwhelming
to most boys, he finished the school
year Last June he won i'm open COM
petition a state scholarship which en-
titles him to free tuition at Cornell for
the full undergraduate course of four
years.
With only the proceeds OF the sale of
two barrels Of vinegar, he came 10
Ithaca. Here he entered the Summer
school of Professor Jones, where a
marked mathematical ability soon gave
him prominence. In September he COM
peted with fifty other students for the
university scholarships, which are
worth $400 cash to the winners. He

A PosrMAN ON sTILTs.

Between Bordeaux and BayOnne lies
that stretch of open country known as
the "Landes" A great part of this
tract, which was formerly waste land,
has been now partially reclaimed and
planted with pine trees, which are cul-
tivated for the sake of the resin that
is exacted from them. The rest of ii,
however, remains wild and covered
with gOrse and groom. The villages
and groups of dwellings in the Ian
des" are very scattered, and in order
to traverse the ewide extent OF the plains
with ease the inhabitants use stills,
which are tied to their legs. Mounted
on these the shepherds watch their
hocks in the brushwOOd, and can cross
pools, marshes and peat without diff
cu.ty. They carry with them a long
pole which serves as a support when
resting. The pOstmen, to, employ this
means of getting about. In Winter
time. when the "Landes" are covered
with snow, getting about on stills is,
of course, difficult. and in order to OBJ
viate the inconvenience and TO enable
him to get over the ground without
loss Of time the pOstman has lately fit
ted to his stills a kind of thin wooden
skate. which enables him to walk on
top Of the snow without sinking in.
The postman is clad in a white cloak
called "capot," lined with sheepskin
and provided with a hood. His legs
are also covered with sheepskin. In
the dunes the postal service is carried
on by the shepherds on horseback, for
it would be impossible to traverse the
sandy tracts on stilts.-London
