Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Ma
son rep, I'D arose soon after the
senate convened to question Of priv
ilege. He sharply attacked the British
government and the British vice-con-
sui at New Orleans because of an in
terview in which the vice-consul had
assailed Mr.. Mason for the position he
had taken in behalf of the rransvaal
republic. Senator Mason attacked not
only the consul but the policy of Great
Britain in leyying war upon an infe-
rior nation Senator Hoar rep,
Mass) thought the consuls remarks so
serious the matter ought to be in
vestigated by the government but at
the same time he deprecated the attack
upon Great Britain with which the
American people ought not only to live
in peace, but as devoted and loving
friends Senator Lodge rep, Mass
sharply arraigned the British consul
for his utterances against Senator Ma
son and believed they ought not to be
lightly passed. The matter was then
referred to the committee on foreign
relations. The resolution Of Senator
Pettigrew pop, S. D., declaring food
products not to be contraband of war,
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations. Senator Carter pre-
scented the conference report OF the
census administration bill and it was
agreed to- The joint resolution grant
ing permission for the erection in
Washington of monument in honor
of Samuel Hahnemann was passed.
Senator Tilman dem, S. CD deliv-
cred a forceful and characteristic
speech on the Philippine question in
which he maintained that this govern
ment ought to extend to the Filipino5
the right to govern themselves, the
United States guarding them against
the aggression of other nations. The
senate then passed % pension bills In

bitterly fought by the opponents of the
civil pension rolls on account Of the
life tenure provisions it contained and
was sidetracked on test vote OF 81 TO

it remained unfinished business, the
opponents of the measure believe the
action of Monday kills it. The
early portion of the day was devoted
to a lively scrimmage over the Sulzer
resolution to investigate the actions Of
Secretary Gage, which the committee
on rules recommended should be sent
to the ways and means committee, as

ALyoRD, THE BANK DKrAuLrER
No News as to His MISREPRESENTATION
He Was Able to steal 20 Much

New York. October s4-Cornelius L.
Alvord. the defaultng teller OF the
First national bank has not been ar
rested. and il Is aid no news has been
received of him. Mrs. Aivord left her
home in Mount Vernon and came TO
this city this morning. Il il aid she
does not intend TO return TO Noun,
Vernon
Many personal friends OF Alyprd In
Mount Vernon believe he has committed
suicide. John II. Murphy, one OF the
bankers most intimate friends. said
today he firmly believed that Anyord
has taken his own life. He II lust
the sort OF a a who would do such
a thing" said Mr.. Murphy. while he
Is phlegematic and apparently takes
matters as they come. he Is In reality
q sensitive man I wish, as his personal
r1end, TO deny the story current THAI
there was another woman in whom he
was Interested He was deeply attach
ed TO his wife and family and Id not
associate with a fast set"
The following supplementary state
ment was given out by the First ma
tional bank officials this afternoons:
"Aiyord's false entries appear to have
commenced about five years ago. one
OF his duties was to collect drafts and
notes not payable through the clearing
house, a onsiderable part of these
usually being paid in cash. He ap-
p~ropriated a portion OF this cash from
time to time, as opportunity offered.
before any Of it was turned over TO the
money clerk The discrepancy was con-
cealed by adding to the item of 'ex-
changes for clearing house on the note
tsfler'S balance book an amoun equal
to the sum Of distractions.
Until his recent disappearance, AL
vCFd had not been absent from the
bank during n business day this year.
He did not take his usual vacation last
summer, requesting that instead he
trip to California"
The interesting feature Of the sup
Elementary Statements is the positive
assertion that Alvord had not been alb
sent from the bank one business day
this year. Mr.. Hire repeated this state
menr orally after an examination of the
time books in which every days leave
of absence by any employee of the
bank Is entered. This contradicts the
numerous reports that AIvord was a
regular attendant and heavy better at
the Saratoga this a. season.
The paragraph in the same statement
explaining how Alvord operated was
shown to several experienced bank Of
ficials. The only point made clear to
them a that Alvord's opportunity
came chiefly in his handling of the
banks cash as collector and also that
it a been admitted that he always
carried cash balances An important
official Of n of the leading banks
said:
In most, banks the note teller Is
obliged to adjust his balances after the
close of every days business and his
accounts should be checked off by his
clerks and proved by h other tellers.
Had this system obtained at the First
national / DON'T see how .Alvord could
have worked his game longer than for
a few months at the utmost"
In spite of Vice President Hines de-
MIA it is regarded as extremely prob
ably that Alvord % a large sum of
money shortly before he left
