TRUST PRESIDENT SKIPPED.
United States Trust Company of
Philadelphia Assigns and officers
Are Looking for ~. IL. McDoweII.

Are Looking for ~. IL. mcdowell.
Philadelphia, June 20.--As a result
of the assignment of the United
States Trust Company, the police are
looking for Henry r. Mcdowell, its
president. member of the New York
bar, to arrest him on the information
sworn to by Charles l.. Brown. as
signee, charging him with larceny of
it's securities and embezzlement of its
funds to the value of $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved, however. that Mcdowell is al
ready on his way to Europe.
Mcdowell was elected president of
the company about six months ago.
There were 10000 shares of stock at
a par value of $26. The first thing
Mcdowell did. 1t is said. was to secure
the authorization of 10000 additional
shares with a face value, of $500
which were given him to negotiate. In
addition to this when he was made
president, there was entrusted to him
securities to the value of $50, 900, To
notes were given. These matured
within the last few days and the
amount necessary to pay them could
not be found by the treasurer A
meeting of the officers was called and
an assignment was made Tuesday to
Charles l.. Brown.
Mr. Brown, after an investigation,
demanded return of the securities,
but was informed that Mcdowell had
left New York for Boston. Further in
quiries have led him to the belief that
the missing president has taken a
steamer from New York.
The authorities of Boston and New
York have been requested to arrest
Mcdowell and to have all steamers In
port searched.

shop.
Augusta, Ga. June 20,-wiliam E.
Bush. a prominent young real estate
dealer. and Charlie Sylvester. a young
cotton buyer, had lively fight to-day
in Murphy q Co.'S bucket shop. In the
presence of a number of men. Bush
said he didn't think Recorder C. A..
Picquet was fit for the Office sylvester,
who heard 1t, repeated Bush's state
ment to Recorder Picquet and the two
repaired to Bush's office TO demand re-
traction or satisfaction. When the Re-
Corder told Bush what he had heard,
Bush promptly admitted saying it. and
added that he didn't think Picquet had
either the capacity or the good judg-
ment needed in the position. The Re-
corder said his understanding had been
that Bush had reflected on his char
acter or integrity, which he would
have resented. but, of course. he
couldn't, help what a man might think
of his intelligence. They parted with
out blows.
But to-day the subject was renewed
in the bucket shop between Bush and
Sylvester and after some sharp words.
fight ensued in which Sylvester re-
ceived several severe punches before
they were separated.
Tomorrow Bush and Sylvester Will
be before the Recorder for disorderly
conduct, but Recorder Picquet will
probably consider himself disqualified
from presiding, as the fight was about
him-unless he should seize this oppor-
tunity to convince Bush of his ability.
The affair has been the sensation of
the day.

ILLINOIS. RACE TROUBLE.
Not Race War Declares Adjutnni
General Ewert, But Negroes Are
Nearly All Gone.

49,
Nearly All Gone.
Springfield, ILL.,, June 20.-Col. Theo-
dore Ewert, assistant adjutant general
of Illinois, returned to-day from Edo
RADIO, Saline county. where he investi-
gated the alleged outrages on negroes,
In accordance with instructions OF Gov.
Yates. He submitted to the Governor
report of existing conditions In Sa-
line county, in which he says the re-
ports have been greatly exaggera:e tel.
A summary of his report follows:
80 hat the law In Eldorado and Sa-
line counties was violated by pc song
unknown.
That none In Saline county can
designate any person connectei with
these violations of law.
THAT two families received warning
to leave: that others moved away of
their own accord being frightened, and
that inmates of the colored industrial
school left on advice of the sheriff of
Saline county.
THAT the disturbances did not con-
stitute race war, nor any organized
body of citizens against colored resi-
dents.
That in my opinion the trouble orig
mated from a spirit of fun, deviltry or
bravado on the, part of the young and
irresponsible persons, and was kept up
because some of the colored residents
became frightened.
That the citizens of Eldorado and
Saline county generally, deplore the
acts OF these unknown persons.
That the citizens will endeavor to
stop all further lawless acts"
Col, Ewart does not believe that any
negro residents of Saline county are
endangered in respect to life or prop
erty.

MINERS TAKING A REST.

strikers to Make Grand March
Through Entire Field To-day.
Bluefield. w. Va, June 20.-For the
past two days there have been no new
developments in the strike situation.
The army of striking miners has been
taking rest, having discontinued their
march for a day or so in order to be
in shape for a grand march to take
place tomorrow throughout the entire
field. The forty-odd collieries pay
off their employees tomorrow and the
strikers claim that the majority of
the men not now out will strike after
getting paid. 1t is generally conceded
by both operators and strikers that to-
morrow, so far as the Flat Top region
is concerned, will decide whether the
strike continues or whether the men
return to work on Monday.

So far as the Freshman race is con-
