YOUNG BOYS
With Bad Records, Will

Chief Harrison Writes a Few Words
About Juvenile Thieves.

Chief Of Police Harrison writes as
follows, concerning the many acts of
petty thieving by young boys:
''Thesc juvenile burglars are among
the evil results of our not having n
curfcw ordinance in this city. The
South End also has a gang, the only
difference between IL and the down
town gang being that the South Enders
seem to have a particular mania for
stealing brass, anything from brass
thmble to rolling mill shaft box is
good enough for them to steal while
the Bank alley gang prefers the clean
cash.
''Thc fact of the matter is, the par
ents in many instances are 10 blame
for all this They do not pay enough
attention to their boys. They seem to
have no concern as to what time Of
night they come home or whether they
come home at all.
"About year ago | presented a cur

for some reason or other, the members
saw fit to defeat it, / received about

A Pretty Kitchen Experiment.

Dissolve teaspoonful of pure cream
of tartar baking powder in half glass
Of cold water and there is liquid
charged with carbonic acid gas, and
the gas, having nothing TO retain it,
passes off in bubbles like the foam of
a lively champagne.
Mix tablespoonful of the same
powder with the same quantity of
flour, pour into it half Il glassful of
cold water, and stir up quickly. The
carbonic acid gas liberated is then
prevented from rapid escape by the
-four, and the mixture rises, foaming
and creamy, like yeast, over the top
of the glass. This effect has been iro-
duced by adulterating the baking
powder, making it half -four and may
be rendered still more marked by the
addition of little albumen. The
great show Of creamy foam in Il baking
powder is proof not only Of adultera-
tion but inferior strength.

Skim milk masquerades as cream"

gave him So, insisting on him getting
a marriage license. He declares he
was married before he got sober.

Havana, Jan. Z, 1S99,' his salary was
| 81 800. The report says he was at this
time financially embarrassed. His ac-
count with the Union National bank
Of Muncie was frequently overdrawn,
"Tcb. &, 1890, he sent a deposit Of $500
to the Muncie bank, and in February
and March his additional deposits ag-
gregated 1880. Thus Neely, with a
salary of $3.50 month, was able
within three months to deposit $3.50,
conclusive proof that his embezzle-
ment began in February, 1899. In
May he deposited SSS7, June $775, July
$963, August $13,125, October S20,250.
and number of deposits of lesser
amounts were made aftcrward.'
The report deals sat considerable
length with the speculative ventures
into which Neely branched out in
Cuba. They included the West III
dia Trading Co., in which he invested
$12,5OO; a brick plant in Havana, in
which he invested $4,000, and some
mining schemes in South America.
The report says that Q. M. Rich, who
was brought to Havana as Neely's
assistant, told Rathbonc in April that
Neely was CROOKED" Rathbone dc.
MED any such conversation with Rich.
The report, continuing, says:
erich claims to be innocent, but he
at least had knowledge of Neely's
embezzlemerts long before he claims
to have told sRathbone. Reeves con-
fesses that Neely paid him $4,000 for
concealing the fraud in the destruction
Of the stamps. Both Rich and Reeves
protest against any criminal designs.
How much credit should be given to
their statements it is difficult to de-
termine."
December 81, 1898, when Rathbone
was appointed director general Of
posts, his salary was fixed at $4,000.
At his request the postmaster general

Washington, July 26.--(Spi)-Maj.
Estes G.. Rathbone, formerly director
OF posts in tn eisland of Cuba, who has
been practically under arrest ever
since he was removed from Office, will
be formally arrested rs result Of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow's report, duplicating him in
the postal frauds.
Copies OF Mr.. Bristow's complete re-
port were furnished yesterday to Sen
ator Platt, chairman of the specific
committee of the Senate investigating
the Cuban postal frauds, and to Secre-
tary of War Root, for transmittal to
Gov. Gen. Wood at Havana. 1t is ex-
pected that upon the receipt of the re-
port Gen. Wood will at once order the
arrest of Mr.. Rathbonc. 1t is under
stood that the full report and exhibits
are to be printed for the senate COM
mittee and will then be made public.
In the meantime Postmaster General
Smith gave out summary of the re-
port today. This summary gives sub
stantially what has been heretofore
published regarding the speculations of
G. r. w. Neely, as chief of the bureau
of finance, but it makes out worse
case against Director Rathbone than
had been generally expected.
Heretofore no one connected with
the postoffice department would take
the responsibility of saying that Mr..
Rathbone had been guilty of anything
the administration of the department
posts, and of extravaganza in his per-
sonal expenses which were charged
TO the Cuban postal revenues. Mr..
BrIstow's report alleges not only care
lessness and extravaganza, but fraud
as well, charging that Rathbone had
warrants for 81 900 drawn in his favor,
that he had them cashed, and that he
failed to account for the money.
The total direct embezzlements are
rather smaller than had been supposed
ut the time that Neely was arrested.
Mr.. Rristow coots them up MS amount
ing to $751;, 1889. This total would
he considerably increased IL it could
be ascertained exactly how much
money had been expended in uuneces-
sary expenses or charged up as Eek
pcnscs' aud pocketed.
Mr.. Bristow finds that Neely's en-
bezzlcments aggregated at least $751;
I1S, and says lie was justified in re-
commenting the removal of Director
General Rathbone.
Whether or not the latter was guilty
with Neely In the embezzlcments, he
says there can be no doubt that in the
matter of unauthorized per diem allow
ances, personal expenses and warrants
cashcd and unaccounted for, he unlaw-
fully appropriated to his own use
money of the Cuban revenues. For
this, Mr.. Bristow says, he believes
Mr.. Rathbone should be required to
answer.
The connection between Neely and
the Nicely Printing company of Mum
Gle, Ind, of which he was the proprle-
tor before he went to Cuba, is then
explained. The alleged sale Of the
plant of this company to Cowan, Nee
iy's business associate, the report says,
was not bona fide transaction, as II
Is not believed Cowan ever paid Nee
ly any money. of his pretended interest
