STOLE SITS, 600 IN THREE YEARS
II. III. Matteson Looted Bank at Great
Falls, Mont,

GREAT FALLS, Mont. February 19.-H.
H. Matteson. who, on January 8. confessed
to embezzling $4,000 from the First Ma
tional Bank while acting as cashier, Is now
alleged to have taken Sl7S.O00 his opera
tions extending over three years. The state
ment was made at q meeting of the bank
directors yesterday. and another complaint
was sworn out against Matteson. who was
out on S. 900 bail. He was taken before
commissioner and his bail fixed at $4,000.
the new charge being that he embexzled
S65 900 on October 90
Matteson was -n6t found until late last
night He could not furnish the new bond.
and <..e will probably be taken to Helena
and lodged In jail.
National Bank Examiner La4sar states
that If Matteson should secure bail on the
second charge he viii be at once rearrested
on a charge OF enbezxling $4,000. The
bank offlcials became convinced that Matte
son was preparing TO leave, and that was
the principal reason for having him arrest
ed on a second charge and having the bail
increased. 1t now develops that the alleged
embellishments began In December. 1893.

Mr.. Hamilton on Trusts.

Mr.. Hamilton (Mich.). in a general speech.
discussed the question of trusts. He argued
that combinations were inevitable; that
they existed everywhere in Europe, anu
that only combinations here could meet
them. Commerce ad resolved itself into
race of giants
Mr.. Hamiltons speech, which consumed
about an hour in it's delivery, was pictur-
esque and attracted much attention. He
was very sarcastic and witty In his refer
ences to the democratic party, and repeat
edly drew applause and laughter from both
sides of the House. When he concluded ne
received an ovation. The proceedings We're
interrupted for several minutes by mem
bers crowding up the aisle to shake his
hand.
Mr. Vandiver (Mo). who followed Mr.
Hamilton remarked that 1t was strange
that the author of the first speech on the
floor in defense of trusts and combinations
should be so heartily congratulated by his
colleagues. He then proceeded to answer
some of Mr.. Hamilton's statements.

The biggest feature of the returns in
The Tribune's Educational Contest yes
terday was the big advance of Frank B.
McCreary, of Hallstead, who went
from twenty-second to nineteenth place.
Hugh Johnston, of Forest City, also
succeeded in breaking the tie which
existed yesterday morning between
advanced one place in the table. Four
OF the five young men who head the
list added to their scores, although the
positions remain unchanged.
Among the leading contestants for
June there was a big advance made by
Charles Burns, of Vandling. Yesterday
he appeared for the first time among
the leading six, when he was in last
place. Yesterday he scored sufficient
points to pass two others in the list
and this morning appears in third place.
A contestant must now have forty-six
points to get within the table. Several
contestants are very near this number
and some of those now appearing in the
table may soon drop out of sight.
Another new contestant entered yes
terday. Henry +. Collins, of kiZers,
sent for book of blanks and a can
vasser's equipment and will start work
in earnest today. There is still plenty
of room for new workers in the contest,
as but one yearly subscription, counting
twelve. points, would place beginner
we'll up in the list.

CAROUSEL MUST STOP.
Injunction Against James Robin
son Granted at the Instance of
Colonel Herman Osthaus.

Prof George Howell made his first
appearance in court yesterday as Il
practicing attorney, when on the petit
tion of Colonel Herman Osthaus, he
asked for a preliminary injunction to
restrain James Robinson from conduct
ing u merry-go-round at Mulberry
street and Wheeler avenue, at the en-
trance to Nay Aug park.
Colonel Osthaus lives near the en-
trance to the park and has a daughter
who is dangerously i'll. The music of
the merry go-round has had the effect
of disturbing her sleep and exciting her
condition generally to such an extent
that it is believed that she will not re-
cover unless the merry -go-round is
stopped.
Prof Howell made his application in
open court to the three judges just be-
fore the close of argument court yes
terday afternoon and urged the serious
condition of the young woman and the
necessity for prompt action. His maid
Ell effort ut the bar was listened to
with close attention by the large num-
Der of lawyers in the court room, and
when he concluded he was cOngratu-
lated for his excellent presentation Of
his case.
The judges agreed to grant prelim-
mary injunction and made it return.

CONTROLLER WAS FIRM.
Even eddie" Coleman Couldn't Get
inside the Breastworks.

select Councilman II. j. Coleman
came out of Controller Costello's office
yesterday afternoon looking very glum.
whats the matter, t,dde?" some
one asked. Lose some money on the
suburban handicap?"
NO" was the reply. Got a solar
plexus Inside just now" and he jerked
his thumb over his shoulder towards
the controllers Office. Got an ordi-
nance for an electric light in Oakford
court and asked the controller to certify
1t last week as an emergency appropria-
tion. Said he wouldn't, but I thought
he was fooling and let 1t rest for II
week. Came in again just now and he
gave me a knockout Won't certify 1t
under any consideration. Says 1t isn't
II case Of emergency. Mighty firm
young man is Costello"
This is only one case out of many in
which Controller Costello has put his
foot down on the plans of councilmen
with % desire to expend some of the
surplus for this year or some of the un-
expended balances left over from last
year.
Some little doubt as to the soundness
of his position as regards unexpected
balances has arisen. 1t Is held by some
that IL the money is really unexpended
and has not been transferred or merged
into any other account that it requires
no certificate from the recorder and
controller to appropriate it. This may
be tested in the case of the stone
crusher ordinance provided the chair
men Of councils allow that measure to
be considered without a certificate.

AMENDED ANSWERS FILED
Attorney John F. Scragg Succeeds in
Finding Some More Flaws in
the Old South Ward.

Attorney John T.. Scragg yesterday
filed amended answers for Poor Direc-
tors w. A. Paine and f. j. Dickert to
the applications for writs of quo war
rants of James Evans and John j.
Murphy, who claim to be the legal
poor directors for Hyde Park borough
and the old South ward of Scranton
respectfully by virtue of an election
held last February.
The amended answer to the applica-
tion OF James Evans does not contain
anything of a special nature not con-
tained in the original answer.
In the case of Mr.. Murphy, however,
it is alleged that the district in which
! r was a candidate does not correspond
to the old South ward for the reason
that the territory east of the Roaring
Brook which is now a part of the Tenth
ward was originally included in the
South ward and that the voters living
in that part of the ward were deprived
of their right to vote for a director for
the South ward.
Attorney c. S. Oliver, representing Mr..
Evans, demurred to the amended an
swer in the latter's case and Mr.. Muir
ply will act this morning. Court will
today fix time when the case will be
argued.

ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE.
Victim Is Richard Bowen Of 1914
Eynon Street.

DR.. j. w. HOuser, who has charge of
the smallpox cases in the city, yester-
day reported to the bureau of health
that Richard Bowen, of 1914 Eynon
street, is the latest victim of the dis
ease His son is also victim, and he
has been at the Emergency hospital
for some time. The father was taken
there yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Houser says that of over fifty
cases that have come to his notice,
only four of the victims We're ever vac
cinated, and the most recent of any
of these four vaccinations is fifteen
years.
Another positive argument in favor
of vaccination is the fact that of all
the people who We're vaccinated in this
city since the smallpox siege first be-
gan, not one person of them has con-
tracted the disease
At the present time there are nine
patients at the Emergency hospital
The air there is pure and fresh, water
Is plentiful and good and the patients
receive first class treatment.
