rolled convict. The police believe that

with Captain Parker OF the detective de-
partment and the deputy chief OF police.
On the return OF the committee, the
meeting OF the band was held. This was
presided over by President John Miller.
At this meeting the resignation OF Mr..
Church was received and laid on the
table pending an investigation into his
accounts. u was also voted that Prof.
Alexander McCabe act as temporary lead
er until a permanent leader should be
chosen.
It was stated on behalf Of tho band
that there was no percentage, but an
agreement was made without specifica-
tion for the Roger Williams park
concerts. The city appropriated S2500 for
the band. concerts, and. 10 this. the Union
Rallroady company added $1,000. According
~ the bylaws the treasurer should re-
celve and dsburse the funds, but Mr..
Church has done this 10 some extent, as
had Mr.. Reeves before him.
II Is alleged that in some cases the
amount which the books OF the band show
was paid by Mr. Church is not as much
as the receipts signed by Mr. Church call
for.
The band will ask Herbert r. Clarke 10
become tho permanent leader. Mr.
Clarke. one OF the best known cornet
sololsts Of the country. is now filling an
engagement with Sousa's band and Will
not be at liberty until December.

Mr.. Church stated this afternoon that
the band agreed some time ago 20 give
him Ave per cent. and that during the
past year the band had done $4,000 more
business than during any previous year in
It's existence.
He said that his position and actions
were fully justified by the agreement and
that he was ready for any action that
the band might take.

MAJOR ANDRES DIARY
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY ny LORD
GREY AMONG OLD PAPERS.
Said to Throw New Light on the Mo-
tives That Actuated the spy
Speech by Queen Alexandra.

LONDON, March 30.-The diary Of Major
Andre, after lying hidden for a hundred
years, has been discovered in England.
This interesting find was made by Lord
Grey, the other day, while he was going
over a lot of old family papers that prob
ably had not been disturbed since the con-
clusion of the American war of i~ndepend-
ence. Lord Grey's great-grandfather was
a commander of British troops in America
at that time, and Andre served on his
staff, and this accounts for the diary being
in possession of the present peer. The diary
is apparently the original, but TO make sure
that it is not a copy Lord Grey is sendiuS
over to the United States to secure samples
of Andres handwriting, none Of which can
be obtained here. The diary is a story Of
the campaign, day by day, during the
years 1|777-177S. 1t is simply but interest
ingly told from the soldiers standpoint,
and is accompanied by maps, apparently
drawn by Andre himself, and with a skill
that would make him the equal of any
military photographer of to-day.
The diary ceases too early to throw new
light on the motives which prompted the
tragic ending of his career, but Ii gives in
teresting glimpses of the personality OF one
of the historical figures of the revolution.

HIDDEN
Are There Millions Lying Idle In
British Banks.

IOIuOl Mail.
Are there really vast sums Of money lying
Great Britain awaiting owners, which might
with justice TO the community and injustice to
no one be claimed by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer in aid of revenue?
A correspondent writes combating the state
ment of a well-known banker, published In yes
terdays Daily Mail. that the total of such lost
funds is only about $50, 900, and that it would
be robbery on the part of the exchequer to seize
money that does not belong to the nation.
From recent inyestigatins he IS convinced that
an enormous amount Of unclaimed m~oney-large-
ly composed, 1T may be true. of comparatively
small sums-is deliberately hidden by ths banks.
in order that they may reap the profits accru-
ing from IL without mourning taxation. The
Bank of England. he states. distinctly evades
the law in this respect, for, according TO the
national debt commissioners act of 1872. 1t should
give public access TO the list Of such lost moneys,
whereas it never does anything of the sort.
When challenged il invites legal action, but no
one cares for a legal contest with the Bank Of
England, so the question is never faced.
How do these unclaimed moneys accumulate?
Largely. says this correspondent. through the
omission of stockholders to claim dividends, and
through the fact that many people die without
leaving behind them "A strict account OF their
investments. The banks do nothing to help
next-of-kin to discover hidden money; in fact,
they offer passive resistance TO such endeavors.
Few people, except those with an inside knowl-
edge, he says, have any conception OF the enorm-
gus deposits which lie ownerless in the various
banks throughout the country What injustice,
he asks, would be done to the banks IL the treas
TRY took over these unclaimed moneys. with the
obligation of repayment to the rightful owner
in case of a successful claim? The money does
not belong to the banks. And yet at present II
is not even taxed.
in replying on behalf of the postmaster general
to Mr.. Arnold White, recalls the official state
ment given in the House of Commons on Feb.

accounts not recently operated on interest is add
ed and the money accumulates in the same man.
ner as in other accounts. and that the depart
ment can at any time be called upon to dis
charge its liability to the depositors.
