WHOSE WAS THE LOSS?
That $4,000 of State Money in the Pied
mont Bank.

mont Bank.
Last year when the Piedmont Bank at
MOrganton broke there was i'll it $4,000
Of State money. The security was
worthless and so the loss was complete.
The State Treasurer had placed this
money there to the credit, and for the
use, of the asylum ut Morganton After
the bank had failed and it was seen
that the money was gone, Mr. Worth
held that the loss must be sustained by
the asylum and not by the State.
This the directors of that institution
contend, is not fair that the money.
though intended for them. had never
come into their possession and could not,
therefore. be properly charged up to
them: that the loss must be sustained by
the State and not by the institution.
Yesterday. by direction of his fellow
members on the board of directors, Mr..
J. Gather Hall. of Hickory. came here
to see the State Treasu in regard TO
this matter and try to have it adjusted.
E,e hoDeS to be able to convince the
State Treasurer of the business and cor
rectness of the contention set up by the
directors.
In case he falls to do 50 he will go to
Lexington to see the Attorney General
lii regard TO the matter.

Toledo, Ohio, July y27.-General 1. r.
Sherwood, in speaking of his candi-

on the Democratic ticket, had the fol-
lowing to say:
"It is true that I am candidate be-
fore the Lucas county convention, and

Vile convention, but if do not receive
the Lucas county endorsement on
August 8, shall not be candidate.
81 am making no canvass, and have

simply announced my name,
and will leave it to the Democrats of
Lucas county to vote without any So
licitation on my part. have no liter
ary bureau, no newspaper retained in
my interest, no machine and no barrel.
I have lived in northwestern Ohio, all
told, about 40 years, and in Toledo a
quarter Of century, and if the Demo
cratic citizens of this county think
am not entitled to support l am pre-
pared to accept their verdict. In case
Lucas county declares for me feel safe
in saying from information at hand
that l will go to the GAINESVILLE con.
vention with 100 to 125 delegates. |
have made no deals with any candidate
and do not intend to. If l go to Zanes.
Vile as candidate I expect my friends
to use their own judgment on second
choice. During the civil war I heard
General Sherman say that he never
made any calculation in advance of a
battle where he would 60 in case he
was forced to retreat. They call me an
old man now, and | know | am old
according to years, but l shall never
get old enough, so long as the good
God gives me a sound mind, to make
a deal with any man to get any office
however high. I have been, during
my life, seven times elected to civil Of
fees, two of which l resigned in April
1861, to enter the war as a soldier at $l1
month. That man does not live who
can say that l ever made deal to gel
a nomination or an election"

Special to the News-Democrat
Cleveland, July 27.-There has been
no excitement or violence along the
Big Consolidated lines today. All
troops from outside the city are held in
reserve at the central armory, except
the Newark and Norwalk.
The cars are running on
regular schedule time on all lines
except the Union street line. The COM
pany is evidently afraid to run their
cars in that part Of Newburg. The
members OF the state board of arbitra-
tion left the city today temporarily.
The general sentiment In this city is
that the state board OF arbitration Is q
farce. Although things are quieting
down, it is very likely that the
troops will be kept here until over
Sunday. A petition signed by repre-
sentatives of Union street car men and
other union labor was issued today
praying sympathizers not to use vic
leuce but to aid the strikers in other
ways than by lawlessness. The state
ment says that violence Is doing the
strikers much harm.

WORK IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Where Moit Of the Cheap Labor From
Abroad Gets To To-Immigration
Investi cation.

New YORK, July 2T.--At the session
of the subcommittee of the United
States industrial commission Roman
Dobbler, chief of the boarding inspec'
tors of immigration at the barge office,
testified that many persons came in the
second cabin in order to avoid the rigid
scrutiny at the barge office. He believed
many of the new arrivals had been
coached as TO theiI answers to questions
put to them here.
DIR. Lorenzo Ullo, legal adviser of the
immigration bureau, said there was
great difficulty in enforcing the laws
owing TO the many contradictions found
in the statutes relative to immigration.
A case III point was the law regarding
criminals coming to this country, whom
the law requires shall be returned to the
nation to which they belong and the
port from which they came. Sometimes
the.criminal was an Oriental and came
from Bremen. He thought the law
should say such persons should simply
not be permitted to land and the steam
ship companies left to do with them as
| they believed best.
Witness said that in none of the i'm
| migration laws was there an express
| provision for the deportation of con-
| tract laborers. The laws of 1891 did
| SO by implication and it was under this
act that the department was working.
| The witness said he favored amend
ing the law regarding contract labor
ers so as to include any agreement to
| come here to work, not rlgldly con-
tract.
Mrs. Virginia Stuckler, the chief ma
tron at the barge office, testified regard
ing the treatment of enciente women
arriving here. OF the / AL women ar
irving during this month in that cond1-
ton 90 were married at the barge office,
28 were admitted on appeal and the 9TH
| ers were found to be married women.
Mr., Stuokler said that there was an
average of one marriage a day at the
landing bureau. Thirty.one women ar
rived who had been unfaithful to their
husbands, but except in three cases
they were permitted to land.
Mrs. Stuckler thought the laws
should include an act prohibiting the
landing of girls brought here for inn
moral purposes. There was no such
prohibition in the present laws.
; William Weihe of the contract labor
bureau, who was formerly president Of
the Ama1gamated Association of Iron
and SteeA Workers, said 80 per cent of
all the cheap labor coming here-Slo,
, vaks, PolaCks and Russian Poles-went
to Pennsylvania, where they not only
worked on railroads and in the mines,
but entered into competition III the in
dustrial centers in the iron and glass
works.
at has been shown" said Mr.
, Weihe, THAT the companies give the
preference to foreigners, even when
skilled American wOrkmen offer tC
work for the same wages. In 1897 a
tinplate mill at Harrisburg brought tc
: this county two rOll.lruerS from

GEN. WEYLER TAUNTED.
Reminded That with 100000 Men He
Failed to Suppress the Cuban
Rebellion.

MADRID, July 27.-The discussion of
the army bill in the senate led TO an ex
citing scene. General Weyler, arguing
against any reduction of the strength of
the army, warned the government that
the present situation made a revolution
highly probable, since it had never been
so easy for tie army and the people to
make common cause. He himself, he
said, had never thought Of heading a
rising, but it must be confessed that
revolutions sometimes cleared the politi-
cal atmosphere and accomplished the
work of regeneration.
Senor Dato, minister of the interior,
replying, severely denounced General
Weyler, declaring that a general who,
with 300, 900 men, had failed to suppress
the Cuban rebellion, had no right to
make such threats, and that any attempt
at revolution, no matter bY whom,
would be proceeded against with the
utmost rigor of the law.
The senators warmly applauded Senior
Dato's speech.
The army bill was adOpted

KITTINGER
IS MISSING.
Canal Fulton Lawyer Said to be
Absent.
WELL KNOWN IN CANTON
Had Brought Suit Against Proprietors OF
Alleged Gambling Places to
Recover Money Said to
BE Lost.

A. ]. Kittinger, Canal Fulton law
yer, we'll known in this city, has, it is
said, left for parts unknown leaving
long list of creditors and wife and six
children behind. His shortage, it is
said, will amount to about 81, co., part
of which is secured. Kittinger, it is
said, has been too fond of the paste
boards. 1t was suspected for some
time that Kittinger was financially en-
barrassed. 1t will be remembered that
some years ago he caused suit to be
brought against a number of Canton
proprietors OF gambling rooms, effect
ing settlement for money he alleged he
lost at poker, and, in one instance, re-
covering on judgment obtained in
common pleas court. Attorney Ster-
ling, with whom Kittinger read law
years ago, represented him In those
cases.
Kittinger some time ago engaged At
torney Sterling to assist him in look
ing after the interests OF Kiefer & Coon,
wholesale carpet dealers of Philadel-
phia, who had case on with the as
signees of the Robinson estate, of Ca
nal Fulton. Mr.. Sterling tried the
case in the common pleas court and
afterwards carried it to the supreme
courts. The assignees obtained judg-
ment for few cents less than $500.
Kiefer & Coon sent check for the
amount to Kittinger, authorizing him
to pay the money over to the assignees.
This, says Attorney Sterling, was
never done.
Mr.. Sterling says he called upon Kit
finger who acknowledged having re-
ceived the money which he also said he
had disposed of but promised to come
to Canton and adjust the matter. Mr..
Sterling says he never came but went
to Cleveland and later left that city for
unknown parts.
Kittlnger was justice of the peace
for many years, was an officer In the
Reformed church and teacher in the
Sunday school.
Attorneys Miller & Pomerene who
represented the Philadelphia firm stat
ed to News Democrat reporter that
they were not prepared to say whether
or not an effort would be made to locate
the missing man.
