Predicting what the journals of the
twentieth century viii be he says:
I feel certain that the newspapers
of the twentieth century VIII be drawn
into the vortex of combination and cen
traiizaton- In fact, given the mater
TAI, the capital, organization and man
agement, there seems to be no reason
why one or two newspapers may not
presently dominate great sections of
the United States or almost the whole
of Great Britain. In other words,
where there are row multitude Of pa
peTs. good, bad and Indifferent there
VIII then be one or two little journals
The p ethOd by which such journals
WOULD De established would he precise
ly that employed in the formation of
any ordinary trust. Possessing its own
cables, wires, dispatch boats and spec
ial trains, the simultaneous newspaper
concern would soon have its own pa
per mills, printing ink factories, ma
chinery shops and the like.
Vast Enterprises Possible.
THE simultaneous newspaper would
represent a standard Of excellence
which has never before been attained.
and with it's vast resources it would
be able to carry out on an unpTecedent
ed scale enterprises outside II the strict
news a@er field.

journalistic genius in connection with

such a state OF things would be a
terror to eviIdoers and to the support

Mr.. Hsrmsworth is strongly of the
opinion that the newspapers should not
be partisan in a political sense, but
should endeavor TO represent The viii

TREASURER SENT TO JAIL.
NEWARK DIME SAVINGS BANK De
FRAUDED TO THE EXTENT OF
ABOUT 100000

Charles R. Westervelt, secretary and treasurer
of the Dime Savings Bank, in Newark was ar
rested last evening on a charge of having raised
a withdrawal check drawn to the order of
Pauline Rube for 5000 to $1,000. This was the
specific charge.
An examination Of Westervelt's accounts
shows that the bank has been defrauded to the
extent of $4,000 WesterveIt was taken into
custody by Private Detective Francis J. Gregory.
and arraigned before Justice Of the Peace Louis
f. Haywood, Of East Orange The complaint
was made by Assistant State Bank Examiner
Martin b. Dagger. of Asbury Park The Justice
committed the accused man for the Grand Jury,
and fixed his bail at $4,000.
A week ago suspicion was aroused that the
affairs of the bank were not right and the State
Banking Commissioners were informed and ex-
aminers We're sent TO examine the books and
vouchers. The Board of Directors also insti-
tuted a separate Investigation on their own ac-
count. A trail was soon struck that revealed
startling Inaccuracies in the accounts, and ex-
animation Of withdrawal checks showed how
the defaIcations were covered up in the daily
balances. WestervelJ. it is aIIeged. raised the
checks TO any amount necessary to cover the
sums taken by him-the system he had pursued
for several years without detection or suspicion.
The president Of the bank is James D Orton.
The yice-presidents are Cyrus Dettelbach and
John o. TrUesdale- Among the directors
Postmaster Hayes, John H. Meeber. Samuel
Meeker Peter Witzel, William VI. Clarke, James
c. Beach. Horace F. Baldwin. Theodore Horn
and the defauIting treasurer. The bank was
incorporated in 1864, and in 1882 it suspended
payment, afterward resuming business. Wester-
Welt had been conected with the bank for about
twenty-five years He lived at No. 40 Clinton
ave, Newark, and has wife and SON and
adopted son. He is about ffty-twO years old
WesterveIts habits have always been correct
and the presumption is that the money was lost
in stock gambling
Vice President TruesdaIe said last night that
Westervelts bonds would probably cover the
amount Of his defaIcations The bank also has
a surplus Of Il per cent WesterveIt appeared
several times before the Board of Directors while
the examination was in progress. and made
acknowledgements and finally virtually confessed.
He was under suspension for a week before his
arrest AS no bail could be furnished he was
sent to iail. The whole amount Of the defalCa-
tions viii not be known until the Bank Exam
