OFFICIAL LOOTS A BANK.
Vice President of Detroit Institution
Causes Its Ruin.

wee PRESIDENT OF Detroit Institution
Causes Its Ruin.
The City Savings Bank Of Detroit
with deposits of S3,300,000 is insolvent
and in the hands of State Bank Commits
sioner George l.. Maltz, because its vice
president, Frank G. Andrews, has over
drawn his account $914,000, owes the
bank $214,000 more, and in addition has
outstanding certified checks against the
institution for $662 900. Mr. Andrews
was arrested on a warrant charging him
with "Willfully, fraudulently and know
ingly" securing from the bank without
security and without the knowledge of
the other directors a sum exceeding ST.
100000.
The most remarkable operations which
resulted ia the wrecking Of the bank
have all taken place within the last six
weeks. Mr.. Andrews is a man Of 80,
who made million dollars by speculation
in few years. and who now has lost his
fortune, ruined his reputation and caused
great losses to hundreds Of poor people
by the same methods which gave him
wealth before.
Stock market speculation and taking
long chances are responsible for An
drews' downfall. He scorned the slow
plodding saver of earnings and declared
no man could get rich by boarding his
savings, but that wealth comes only TO
those who take chances. Speculation was
his mania and his luck was marvellous for
years. A few months ago it turned, but
he chung to his belief in predestination
to the extent of wrecking a bank and
sweeping away the savings of thousands
of depositors.
Vice President Andrews made use CT
his influence over the cashier, Henry G.
Andrews, who is no relative of his, 10
carry out his plans. What he did was
entirely outside of the knowledge Of any
of the other directors, and when they
discovered the facts they at once began
the investigation which resulted in the
closing of the hank.
Andrews was born on a farm in Ma
comb County, Michigan. When he was
10 he went to Detroit with a capital
of IS, and Of this he owed 1913, so that
al ne could call his own was S1.25. He
became a clerk in a real estate Office
and his shrewdness and business ability
soon attracted attention. Nobody seems
to know where ne got the capital for the
first deal, but it was not long before be
had put through some big deals on his
own account and cleaned up a small for
tune. He them became a partner Of his
employer. and in 1890 started a series Of
bold real estate operations that gave the
firm big profits and Andrews a reputa-
ton Of being the cleyerest real estate
man in Detroit.
From real estate speculation TO stock
speculation was(but q short step, and
before long Andrews had startled De-
troit with the fortune he was piling mp.
His plan was to take quick returns, and
also to buy when the public was selling.
and then sell when the public began to
buy in much higher prices. He became
a heavy investor ia street railroad
schemes two years ago and sold three
interurban lines to the Everett Moore
syndicate

WONDERFUL TIDE CALCULATOR.

as 70 sny other man.
The clock is tide-predicting machine
Day after day a woman Keeps turning a
little handle. causing the hands on the
center dial and the smaller ones az each
side TO rev6lve until they reach certain
cures which indicate the time and height
OF the tide AT all principal Seaports On
the North American coast. In Ike man
nes.. the time OF low tides IS ascertained-
At some Seanorts TIE tides rise higher
and fall lower than the averase. and the
pressing Of q handle makes the neces-
sary connections for such places.
no attempt 10 describe the intricate
arranScment OF this wonderful machine
would be futile. Suffice X 70 say that in
a day the woman operator can compute
the tides for : month. and she will not
have 10 add or subtract number-Simply

CARPET-WEAVING IN PERSIA.
Finest Work Done by Boys from to
IL Years Old.

Finest Work Done by Boys from to
IL Years Old.
A replica of the famous carpet from
the mosque of Ardaibil, which is now
preserved in the South Kensington mu-
scum. London, is being made at Ia
breez. Persia. the center of the car
pet-making industry of that country.
The Towering and designing of this
carpet are absolutely unique. A hand
painted design of the Original has been
furnished to the Persian weavers. and
so skillfully is the work being car
ried out that it is stated by the Eng
lish consul general that when COM
pleted it will be equal in every respect
to the original carpet, so faithfully is
the work being reproduced, both with
regard TO coloring and detail.
The carpet is being woven by boys
ranging from to y years of age. They
sit IN serried rows before their looms.
Their method of procedure is to pull
the wool from reel suspended above
their heads in their left hands and
with a fiat knife provided with a
crooked point in their right dash the
thread with three movements through
the web strings, hook it into the de-
sired knot, cut off the surplus ends
and start another knot. The work is
carried out with such remarkable rap
idity that it is almost impossible to
follow the movements of the weaver.
Before setting to work the weavers
closely study the painted design which
they have to reproduce and then de-
pend entirely upon their memories to
enable the work to be completed. Their
memories are so reliable that it is very
seldom they will refer back to the
painted design. When working upon
a complicated pattern the foreman Of
the loom-a boy about IA years of age
walks up and down calling out in a
curious monotone the number Of
stitches aud the threads TO be used.
Persian rugs and carpets are made
by hand throughout. says the Scien-
tific American, and none but vegetable
or natural dyes are employed. 1t is to
this fact that the longevity and dura-
bility of the Persian rugs are attribu-

colorings.
