A Spanish-American War of Work
men Brewing,

Chicago, Nov. s. The Spanish
speaking cigarmakers in Tampa, Fla.
have started a strike against the
American workmen and the official re-
ports received at the headquarters Of
the international union in this city
today indicate that the trouble is as
sumipg serious proportions.
Nearly 1000 English speaking
workmen have been made idle in con-
sequence of the position of their OPP
ponents, and it is said that a clash
may take place at any time,
For years the Spanish speaking
workmen have had control of the
c~igarmaking business at Tampa. They
have had q union of their own and
have guarded it z%ealously, No Eng

United to become members, A year
ago the International organization de-

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BIG
EMBEZZLER.
LOOSE BANKING METHODS
An Easy Thing for the Note Teller
to Rob the First Nation
al of 100000.

New York, Nov. 8-Cornelius l..
Alvord, Jr., formerly note teller OF
the First National bank, who is ac-
cused of embezzling $500. 900 of the
banks funds, was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Shields
in the criminal branch of the United
States circuit court today. He was
represented by Counsel Miller. United
States District Attorney Henry T..
Burnett and his assistant, Ernest E.
Baldwin, appeared for the government.
The examination was conducted by
Baldwin. The first witness was Whit
ing E. Snow, assistant cashier of the
First National bank.
Snow said he had known Alvord
for twenty years, the past ten of
which he had been note teller of the
First National bank. He explained in
detail the duties of note teller and
the banks clearing house transactions.
He explained the balance sheets,
which showed a shortage of $500, 900
in Alvord's department.
The figures showed that the short
age varied, and that from October 10
to October ID it was $500, 900.
"You know that Alvord's accounts
were made up from statements hand
ed him by other persons in the bank 2"
asked Miller.
Eyes sir, partly" answered Snow.
"Alvord is supposed to take these
statements Of other employees as COR
rect?"
Yes"
Miller then led Snow to admit that
since the latter first became an officer
of the bank twenty years ago he has
never known an officer of the bank to
examine the assets Of that institution.
William F. Reed, cashier of the
First National bank, was the next
witness. He said the last time the
bank had an examination was Oh Octo-
Der Is. He had no personal knowl-
edge OF any report of that examina-
ton.
Morton v. Moore, settling clerk for
the bank, identified a column of
figures on a sheet that was prepared
for and sent to the clearing house, as
having been made by himself. He
explained the details of making up
the sheets for the clearing house.
Then, n by one, he identified the
sheets made up for the banking days
of October.
Moore testified that two figures in
the sheet made up for October 10 had
been changed. The figures as they
stood were not his. He did not know
who had made the changes. 1t was
brought out that the sheet had been
in possession of Alvord after it had
been made up by Moore.
An adjournment was taken to 2
O'Clock tomorrow.

TWO MEN or N
One Was Ont For Blood and Got Die
Satisfaction,


A tail, lop shouldered negro who
worked about the freighthouse had
taken a sea on the platform with his
back against a cotton bale for a rest
when a fat and stocky colored man
came across the street and stood before
him and gazed upon him in undisguised
contempt. This had continued for d
minute when the one on the platform
queried:
'Steve BOLSTER, who yo' lookin at
in dat distinguished wayT"
Size lookin at yo', sah."
"What yo' lookin at me furT'
1.-TWO weeks ago." said the stocky
man as he fourished his right arm in
the air, "yo' slandered my character"
"Hu!'' @

"Hu!''
Il sent it frew de mail. an I disclosed

goin to do about it."

yo', sab! Doan' yo' reckon yo' kin
bulldoze me. Steve Bollister!"
He took from his hip pocket an old
handkerchief and from the folds Of the
handkerchief a piece of brown paper,
and after two minutes hunting he
found a postage stamp and handed it
out with the remark:
"If yo' dun thought l hadn't de manly
honor to save an return dat stamp. den
yo' didn't know me. ~sah-didn't know

Sah," replied the stocky man as he
examined the stamp and put it away.

"If yo' hain't mad. den I hain't mad"
rejoined the other, and presently they
went across the street with their arms
around each other to get a drink.

There is an eloquent tribute to the
power of the modern newspaper in the
new society novel written by Helen
Stark under the title 1.-The Bacillus of

the appearance of her picture in the
New York Sunday newspapers, begins
to reckon upon their circulation as af-

ice foes.

concludes the soliloquy. 1t may be
questioned whether the beauty Of a
woman-eyen If she were the most
beautiful in the world, which this
heroine is represented as being-would
