reach of any but an exceedingly wealthy
man. More than that, it now seems that
his tendencies toward fast life were
recognized by those around him, and
that he was a regular frequenter of the
New York race tracks and one of the
leading patrons of the bookmakers on
those tracks.
When the facts thus far revealed con-
corning the methods of operation chosen
by Alvord in carrying on his robberies
and the mode of life pursued by him are
considered in connection with his being
at the present moment repeatedly access
sible to the officials of the law and the
officers of the bank, without any steps

employees to manage their roguery so that
it may reach extraordinary figures, and
thus enable them in the last event to
negotiate immunity from punishment by
a return of part of the proceeds of Their
robberies.
The bank officials, as one Of them de-

to secure the recovery of as large an
amount of the stolen moneys as they hnd

of such proceeding could not be worse;
and it is not surprising if the thought is
entertained as the outcome of such ne

that robbery, to be successful, must in

which might come within the reach of
any ordinary thief.
This transaction has now become
matter of national interest 1t is duty

CRIMINAL NEGLECT.

al the developments of the past few
days regarding the defalcation of Teller
Alvord. of the First National Bank of
New York, go toward justifying the most
severe structures on the management of
the bank. Nothing has thus far appeared
which can satisfactorily explain the re-
inissness which enabled a comparatively
minor official of the bank to carry on
populations undisturbed for a number of
years until they had reached the enor-
nous total of $500, GEO. That he had had
access to the mail of the bank, the pub,
lie is told, enabled him to cover up his
dishonest transactions and precluded the
possibility of his discovery. The answer
to this is that he ought not, nor ought
any otheIasuch Official as he to have had
control of the incoming mail of the bank.
which must necessarily represent a large
proportion of the business done, and
which, on its face, was capable of manip-
ulation by any person having access to
and control of it who had dishonest
schemes to accomplish.
In the routine work of bank it is
always possible. ard probably always will
remain possible for thieving employee to
rob his employers fer q limited length of
time. But the facilities which seem to
have been placed in this mans power
were in themselves a temptation greater
than any but the most upright and con-
scientious could withstand.
Whatever excuse the leading officials
of the bank may have to offer for the
n-discovery of the immense populations,
or fer the renlissness in management
which rendered them possible. there can
be nothing whatever said to palliate the
shameful neglect involved in the now
recognized truth that this man was living
on a scale which was utterly beyond the

Rev. Father M F. Fallon. of Ottawa
university, Canada, was regis tered at the
Merchants yesterday. He was on his
Way from Seattle to Chicago and stop
ped off for a few hours only.
The reverend father is known all over
the continent as football enthusiast,
and for twelve years he has managed his
college team, which has been for six
years and still is, the champion team
of Canada.
Father FaLon is over six feet in height
and is built in proportion; for years he
was known as an irresistible center

college, he assumed the managershp of
the team. position he has only re-
linquished a few months.
Being an expert player and fine all
round athlete he soon brought his team
to the front, and today he is recognized
as the foremost football authority and
manager in the Dominion
Father Fallon has seen football in
Europe, in Canada and in the United
States and is well informed on the diff
ferent styles of games played, but pre-
, fers the Canadian, which he has done
much to model.
Speaking on the subject to a G b e
reporter yesterday afternoon, he said:
''The Canadian style of rugby, IS, to
my mind, by far the best. Last year
saw a game between two crack American
college teams and the bali was not kicked
ten times during the game Admirable
tactics and strategy were displayed but
it could scarcely be called football be-
cause the ball was hardly ever kicked.
''In the game there is much more run
ming, infinitely more kicking and general
ly much opener play. This gives scope
for both individual skill and team work,
while from a spectators standpoint there
is absolutely no comparison

In 1888 when Joseph Jefferson was only

share of the responsibility. Whatever adj
ditional facilities are to be created will
be enjoyed in common. No one road
should stand in the way of an arrange
ment which will be for the common good.
The location of those warehouses is such
as that their removal will be a necessity
sooner or later. The present is the time
for their removal Whatever compensa-
ton the corporation which owns them
may have made to it, the situation is sucj1
that it cannot afford, and should not be
allowed, to stand in the way of an am
icable adjustment.
The citys interest is greater than that
of any of the roads involved and the
city should see to it through its officers
that the existing difficulty at the Union
depot in the path of the development of
st. Paul's carrying commerce shall be re-
moved as speedily as possible.

TAWNEY AND oLEO.

Congressman Tawney is visiting his
constituents in the First district and
giving expression to his love for the
farmer He will do anything for the
farmer and dairymen now. But deeds
prove love where words fail to convince,
and words are wasted on the man VINO
has waited in vain for deeds.
The dairy interests of the First dis
trict are a source of great profit to the
farmers but it is known to all men that
their profit could be largely increased
if they did not have to face the unfair
and fraudulent competition of the Geo
margarine manufacturers. When the

constituents of Mr.. Tawney gave him
to understand that they wanted 1t pass

parading of the latter as choice dairy

Congressman Tawney had an oppor
tunity to choose between serving his
own dairymen constituents and the GEO
makers of the East. That was a time
Tor him to have shown his love and
loyalty toward the First district by
deeds, and he could have done it in
most signal manner. 1T vas his own
word and influence that decided the
question of postponement of the Grout
bill in the affirmative, and he acted in
opposition to Mr.. Grout, the author, as
we'll as to the thousands of dairymen
throughout the country.
There was nothing in the world to
hinder the passage of the Grout bill
last June, but the opposition of the cleo
manufacturers. The dairymen said Yes,
and the Oleo people said No. Congress

How can the dairy interests Of the
First district believe Tawney's protesta-
lions of love and loyalty now? He can
not be their friend and the friend of the
oleo trusts at the same tine. If he is

Mr.. Markham's opinion removes the
Instructions which have been placed in
the path--of such an adjustment by the
spirit of sheer demagogism, in which the
subject has been approached from GER
tain quarters. 1t will not be hard to
reach an understanding as to what con-
stitutes a reasonable compensation for
the exercise of the easement which is in
volved in the use of the levy by the
several roads. There never was any
interference with shore. rights designed
through any proposed arrangement. It
is not necessary for Mr.. Markham to point
out that the riparian rights Of the city
and the general right of access to the
river bank cannot be wholly disposed of
through official action. The emil ghtened
general public is quite aware of all these
things, They are aware, too that with
! mutual concession it is quite feasible to

The opinion OF the city attorney ought
TO suffice to relieve the situation of
many of the embarassments which have
been thrown around it. The delay in
coming to an adjustment has been a
detriment to the city Every day which

The explanation throws light on what
might otherwise be an inexplicatable ac-
ton. The city railway company de-
clares that the leak on Fifth street was
simply caused through exceptionally
heavy voltage caused by lightning strik-
ing the trolley wires.
1t is set UP that the copper wire which
leads from the rails to the water main
