BANK SWINDLED.
Chicago Institution Loses $780,
600 by Sharp Work.

Chicago, Aug. BIT leaked out here
today that one of the Chicago banks
was recently swindled out of $4,000 in
cash in a skillful manner. An effort is
being made to keep the matter secret
and not even the name of the bank is
given. It seems that a. depositor of
several years standing appeared one
day in the bank presidents office with
a draft on London for $4,000 which
was perfectly good The depositor in
formed the president he desired to de-
posit his London draft, and at the
same time to check against it, present
ing his check for $4,000 for the presi-
dent to 0. x. The latter put his initials
on it and thought nothing of It. 1t
seems, however, that the depositor went
out into the bank and deposited his
London draft and on the following day
presented a check for $50 900 which was
paid. the teller knowing that amount
was to his credit on the books. Later
in the day he again appeared at the
window and presented the check for
$50, 900 which had been initiated by the
president This check was also paid.
Nothing has since been seen of the
depOSitOr.

John Werner was drowned at the foot

citizens of the Wisconsin city, but Ihe
romance that had played an important
part in his life had been broken by a
lovers quarrel, and he left kenosha
fourteen years ago, declaring that he
would never return He kept his word
until last evening, when pine box

of the son who had been missing for
so many years. All this time he had

For years the Werner family had
been searching for him. Three years
ago the father Peter Werner, died and
left an estate. When the heirs sought
to settle it in the courts advertisements
were placed in the papers in all parts
of the country, asking for some trace of
John Werner, but if he saw the notices
he was dumb to the appeals, and never
wrote.
An insurance policy was all that
identified the body.

delights to mislead every inquirer and
keep his plans enveloped in mystery,
but unless those usually in his conf

ander c. Botkin, of Montana, chairman
of the United States code commission,
has arrived here to spend several
weeks. Mr.. BOtkin is accompanied by

present engaged in pursuance of the
special direction of congress in revising
the laws relating to the organization,
jurisdiction and practice of the federal
courts.
In an interview Commissioner Botl1in
said:
THE commission will recommend a
number of more or less radical changes.
The most important of these is the
consolidation Of all original jurisdiction
IN the United States district court. and
making the circuit court take the place
of the present circuit court of appeals
as the intermediate court Of review. If
the changes proposed are adopted by
congress, judges of the circuit court
viii be wholly relieved of the trial of
cases in the first instance, and will
perform only the duties attaching to
an appellate court Various changes
in practice viii also be embodied in the
report Of the commission in the inter
est OF uniformity, simplicity and con-
Venience."
Mr.. Botkin believes that the com mis-
sion viii be able to report the revision
of the judiciary title before the next
session of congress 1t recently sub
