ALVoRD's PROPERTY ATTACHED.
Papers Issued In Favor of the Rank
He Looted.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Jrstice Lawrence,
of the Supreme Court, has granted an at
tachment for 100000 against the prop
erty of Cornelius L. Alvord. jr. the Trust
National Bank defaulter, in favor of the
bank. The attachment was granted on
the ground that Alyord wrongfuily con-
verted to mis- own use funds belonging to
the Institution.
It is said that the officers Of the bank
have come to the conclusion that, in all
probability, comparatively little of Al
words stealings remain in his possession
This conclusion was reached, it is report
ed, after a further examina ion had been
made of the banks accounts. While this
did not reveal any additions TO the thefts
it showed that for months pa 1t AlVord had
not taken any money.
One reason for the delay in taking the
case into court is said to be that the bank
officers were not inclined 20 make any
public move until they had ali their plans
completed. 1t was for the same reason
that there was delay in calling on the
police

Miners Fight Emphasizes the Need
for Arbitration.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Mr. Bryan today
gave out the following statement concern
ing the ending OF the strike in the anthra-
cite coal region of Pennsylvania:
Il am glad to learn that the strike is
settled. The fact that the men have Sc
cured an advance is not only gratifying,
but it shows that there was just cause for
their complaints.
But the fact that they were idle a
month and that the consumers Of coal had
to pay higher price for coal, because of
the strike, shows how important it is to
have arbitration for the settlement of dif-
ferences between labor and capital.
"A just system of arbitration would have
secured TO the miners the advantage which
they have gained, and probably a still
greater advantage without the loss which
they have suffered, auI would have saved
