LOOKING FOR COMPROMISE
Middle Course Urged Upon President
Roosevelt in Regard TO the Much
Discussed Ship Subsidy.
MESSAGE MAY Be h0H-C0MMITTAL
The President Lis Quoted Believing in
Encouraging the Merchant Marine, But
Will Not Commit Himself to Al ny scheme
for Substituting the Fast Steamers
the Expense of Slow Freight Carriers.

Washington, Oct. 19.-President
Roosevelt has heard from both sides
on the ship subsidy bill senator
Spooner explained the general objec-
tons to that measure which are ex
hibited in the west, and Senator Frye
gave his idea as to the demand along
the Atlgntic coast for a direct sub
sidy in favor of American shipping.
Representative Minor, of Wiscon-
sin. urged upon President Roosevelt
middle course in regard to the ship
subsidy scheme. Mr.. Minor suggests
that two bills be drawn and passed
upon as separate propositions. He
would have one measure a direct sub
sidy upon American freight carrying
ships. based on actual amount of ton
mage carried. and not upon mere ca
pacity. The other bill. he suggested,
might be a subsidy for fast passenger
steamers.
There is good ground for the belief
that President Roosevelt believes in
encouraging the American merchant
marine, but that he will not commit
himself in his message to any scheme
for substituting the fast steamers at
the expense of the slow freight car
riers. He will it is said, Incorporate
in his message a paragraph in general
terms favoring the building up of the
American merchant marine, but the
language of the recommendation to
congress will be such that it cannot be
specifically referred to the passenger
steamers. In this the president will
follow the example of his predecessor,
for it is a remarkab BILE fact that, while
the sponsors of the ship subsidy
scheme constantly claimed it was
party measure, President Mckinley
Endorsed only the freight feature of
the subsidy idea.

TELLS A STRANGE STORY.
New York Bank Messenger Who
Fled with Six Thousand Dollars
Unexpectedly Surrenders.
CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN ROBBED.
Confesses to Having Been In a Disreputabie
Resort with "A Mysterious Woman and
When He became Intoxicated She Took
Practically All He Had Stolen. Sending
the Checks to the Bank by "a Negroes.

New York. Oct. 19.-George Arnit-
age, the missing messenger of The
Bank OF New Amsterdam, walked into
the Tendcrloin police station ~atur-
day and gave himself up. He first de
clined to make a statement as to the
missing funds of the bank amounting
TO $1,000. Armitage was fashionabiy
dressed and did not seem disturbed by
his position. The detectives tried 10
get him to make d statement but he
declined to discuss his case. Its Ho
use, sergeant" he said, ''yon cant
pump me. ! have decided TO say moth
ing until | see my lawyer and maybe
: won't say anything then" Armitage
only had $3.50 on him when arrested.
After he disappeared drafts and col
lections representing many thou
sands of dollars were returned to the
bank by mysterious colored woman,
who has not been found by the police.
This incident gave rise to a theory
of foul play, which the police later
discredited. Armitage's accounts, ac-
cording to the bank officials show Il
shortage of 5000, cf which sum $1,000
is covered by a fidelity bond.
Armitagc subsequently made u re-
markable confession which sent the
police scurrying after four supposed
accomplices who, as alleged, has in
turn robbed the dishonest bank mes
senger of practically all the money
he had stolen. Armitagr said that he
had met n woman whom he knew
only Marie at a roadhouse at which
they both frequenteI. She was a
friend OF the piano player in the re-
sort. The wife of the piano player and
a yioIinist who also furnished music in
the place and Armitage, introduced tC
the party by Marie, became friendly
with all during months intimacy.
Armitegc said that after he stole the
money he got drunk and was unable
to return the checks. Marie and the
wife Of the piano player agreed To do
it for him and taking ne hank wallet
to brooklyn. hired II negro woman to
return it to the bank. .trmitage said
that as the woman left him Marie
suggested that she had better take
charge of the stolen money for safety.
Armitage said he gave up the money
and the woman never came back. 1t
is believed that the police have the
names of the entire party and will
arrest all four.
