WILL NEVER LET UP.
Bank President Will Pursue Schneider
RelentIesslY.

New York. Oct. 12.-President Neid-
ritter, of the Elizabethport Banking COM
pany, which has been Systematically
robbed, as alleged, by VIM. Schneider,
the missing young bookkeeper, is quoted
by the press as saying:
7 will spend the last cent of my
private fortune to put that boy behind
the bars. Wen never let up on him. Our
bank is in the Pinkerton combination
and we have set other detectives at
work with promise of large rewards.
Personally, I think Schneider is in
Europe, and we shall soon catch him.
His pronounced stammering and his
dwarfsh size will make him noticeable
wherever he goes. Then. too, we have
reason to believe he has only a small
supply of money, which he will soon run
through.
AS for Mrs. Hart, whatever property
she may have in the way of furniture,
gowns, jewels and horses belongs by
right and by law to US and we mean
to have them.
People are amazed to find that the
youngest employee Of a bank, hardly
more than a boy, could have looted
bank so thoroughly, stealing more than
the entire capital stock and the surplus,

Bert Waite, Is Years Old, Had High
OLD Time

San Francisco. Oct. 12-Bert Waite,
IS years old, who was arrested at Upper
Lake on Wednesday, charged with forg-
cry, by the president of the First Ma
tional bank of Berkeley, has confessed
to having robbed the United States Ex-
press company at Ravenna, Q. Early
in August last, Waite, who was acting
as agent of the express company at
Ravenna, absconded with over $4,000 in
money and bank notes. Three days be-
fore his departure he withheld from de-
livery every package of value that came
through his office. When he thought he
had enough he took the train for the
west, and has since been the prey of
SharDers.
Besides $500 in cash. Waite took with
him a package Of 81 900 in IS currency
notes of the Second National bank OF
Ravenna, consigned to that institution
by the treasury department at Washing
ton. The bills We're in sheets, and lacked
the signatures of the president and
cashier of the bank He also took a

pany, upon which he has since raised
$500 by forgery. He arrived here on
September IA, and Immediately began a
career of dissipation. AS his funds de-
creased he moved to Berkeley, where
with his remaining capital he became
hail fellow with the university students.
The supply finally gave out, and he was
obliged to raise money on his book Of
express orders One of these forged or
ders came back to the First National
bank and LED to his arrest.

WOMAN'S WORK.
Takes Up the Time of Christian Mis-
sionarY Convention.


Kansas City, Oct 12.-Several hundred
additional delegates and visitors to the
annual convention of the three allied
missionary societies of the Christian
church arrived last night and this
morning. The work of the Christian
Woman's Board of Missions was taken
up in earnest. The day opened with
Bible study, conducted by Burris A.
Jenkins of New York, and was followed
by the annual address of the president,
Mrs o. A. Burgess. of Indianapolis, who
spoke encouragingly of the 1abors during
the past year in mission fields in the
United States, Jamaica, India, Mexico
and Porto Rico, and made many sugges-
tons for the coming twelve months.
The usual reports were then presented,
a most interesting one being that of
Miss Matte Pounds, of Indianapolis, ma
tiona1 superintendent of the young peo-
pies department
Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Jes-
sic Brown Pounds, of Ohio, on Young
Peoples Work.; by Mrs. A. K. Thur

One business-li1e examination of the
bank would have discovered the steal
at the beginning.
THE whole steal was possible because
of the construction of an old Office and
it was continued because of the marvel
Gus head for figures Schneider had. 1t
is the old, old story of a bank employee
having access to both the books and the
cash. When we moved into our new
quarters in July insisted on having the
cash included in a separate iron barred
Office, where Schneider could get at
neither the teller's department nor the
vault Since then Schneider did not steal
a cent. He could not get at it. When
I demanded that Cashier Smith verify
the books on various occasions he let
Schneider handle one set of books. So
quick was Schneider at figures that he
mentally added every item of his en-
bezzlement at the proper place, making
the balance perfect from the figures he
called out to Smith"

cut away all the original or seeding
branches, leaving only the navel orange
branches to bear fruit. In this way he
easily created navel orange trees, and the
problem of growing seedless oranges was
solved.
The planting of groves of seedless orange
trees propagated from buds from the two
original trees on the Tibbetts place began
in earnes throughout southern California,
in the winter of 1882. In the following
year the demand for buds from the Tibbetts
trees was so large that dozen buds sold
frequently for S. and some growers, desir-
GUS of getting navel orange buds of genuine
quality, paid 81 each for buds. In 1884
the two Hbbetts trees furnished buds that
sold for 81, 500, and tall fence was built
about them to keep people from stealing
buds. A year or two later the orange trees
that had been propagated from the Tib-
belts trees began to bear and they them
selves furnished tens of thousands of navel
buds as good as those from the two origi-
nal trees. Then the first navel orange
groves began to bear fruit, and from that
time the boom in navel orange groves has
continued No one plants seeding orange
trees nowadays, and tens of thousands Of
seeding trees have been budded into navel
orange trees. The average returns from
seeding orange groves in southern Cali
fornia during the last ten years have been
less than 500 an acre, while they are
many navel orange groves in this region
that have yielded net profits Of $3.50 and
$500 an acre year.
The two trees from which have come
directly and indirectly all the navel oranges
in the world are still on the old Tibbetts
ranch in Riverside. Since Mr.. Tibbetts re-
ceived the shoots from the Agricultural De
partment and began propagating the frs
seedless oranges, Riverside has growr
from hamlet of less than thirty American
residents to beautiful, prosperous city O
IA, 600 population, with an assessed valu
aticn of SO, 275, 900. 1t is the creates
orange producing locality in the world
Some 16, 900 acres of land is devoted t,
orange growing. The average annual ship
ments of oranges from Riverside are /,
600, 900 boxes, valued at So, 100, 900
All this has come from the introduction o
Tibbett's s seedless navel oranges, and jus
now the Riverside Press and the leadin:
citizens of Riverside are urging that th'
two trees should be removed to the publi
park and there surrounded by an iron fence
SO that the interesting history of the seed
less navel orange may be the better pre-
served in another generation.
