Bank Employe Steals $7o,ooo and
 Makes Terms to Restore it.
 Berlin. March H.-while the Board of Directors of the Mayence Peoples Rank was In session a few days ago, the cashier. Hermann. who had been with the bank for twenty-seven years, entered the room and told them he had taken s70 mn Of the banks funds. The amazed di- rectors. when they were really convinced that this was true and that the old em ploye had not suddenly gone mad, asked him why he had robbed the bank. Her mann replied: This Is my revenge for not having been elected a director in 1900 as was promised. l had been pre- pairing this stroke for three years.'
 The cashier added that he was willing to go to the penitentiary for life as he had "got even by infiicting life panss on the directors and stockholders by taking the money" The banks officers dropping the high tone which they had at first assumed toward Hermann, begged him to restore the money and retain their esteem. Hermann slowly yielded so far as to say that if they would give him $6,250 down and a life pension of 800 a year he would return the stolen money. It was daylight when the directors prom ised to give the cashier $6, ,250 and a pen sion. Hermann then went to the outer office, brought in $7o.000. counted out $S3, 75O and put $6.250 in his pocket. The directors said this was not fair. that he must return all the money and then he would receive the $6,250 promised to him. Hermann, however, refused and the bank has now brought legal proceedings to recover the $6,250.

THE CHOICEOF TARNSEY
KANSAS JUDGE SPEAKS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES
He Thinks That Mr. Cleveland Would Be Very Strong Before the People on a Demo-
 cratic Platform.

Washington. March 3.-(special )-John s. Tarsney of Kansas City. former Judge and for several terms Democratic mem Der of Congress. being a member of the Ways and Means Committee. when Will liam l.. Wilson was its chairman. is in Washington on law business.
 Judge Tarsney is another Westerner who is convinced that in order to win, the Democrats must take a candidate from the East. He thinks now that the Grasshopper State is no longer a burden and the sage brush regions have resolved themselves back into the Republican party, it Is time to resume fundamental Issues and get back the old Democratic strength in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
 Said the Judge. speaking of former President Cleveland:
 T have no idea that he would be a candidate. l have not seen him for a long time, and have no authority what ever to speak in his behalf. but I do not believe he contemplates seeking renomin- alton.
 If Mir. Cleveland could pass the ordeal of politicians, he would be a tremen- dously strong candidate before the peo- pie.
 He is not too old. He is the kind of man who was able to put this country above his party when fantastic and dan. gerous ideas were thust upon 1t. His personal attitude as an ex-President has been admirable.
 His self-poise has been splendid. He has endured vituperation with dignity and without rushing into newspaper inter- views and denunciation of his accusers.
 The country has confidence in him, and the Democratic party next year must stand for his principles and embody something of his personality. II beieve the South would accept Mir. Cleveland; it is Democratic. anyway, and was never populistic at heart. It recognized populism. but that started in the fear of negro domination and was encouraged by hard times.''
 Of others whose names have been men, tioned in connection with the nomina ton for President, Judge Tarsney said:
 "I do not know Judge Parker, except as a jurist but as a jurist I have gained a high opinion of him. l infer that he must be a man of great ability, and that he is capable of other than judicial attain ments.'
 Richard Olney. Judge Tarsney thinks, would be strong candidate. As to whether MT. Bryan will be an important factor in the next convention depended very much upon the composition of the

PHILIPPINES HEMP CROP.
April Monsoon Should Increase Yielt
 for Season. f}

Washington, March H.-In answer to hundreds of inquiries which have reach- ed the War Department relative to the prospects of the Philippine hemp crop. the following statement has been made:
 The Bureau of Insular Affairs reports that there has been some delay in get ting the hemp. crop of the province of Albay to the two chief shipping points of the province. Legaspi and Tabaco. It is not thought that the outbreak of la dronism will seriously affect the situa- ton. as the Governor of the province of Albay has reported to Governor Taft that the output of hemp in March will be a little in excess of February and that indications for April are for a small output, due in part to a disturbed con- di.ion, but chiefly to the drought. The southwest monsoon in April usu- ally brings rain, which would save the hemp crop.

PENNELL IS THE ACCUSED Result of the Burdick
 InQueg
 R OPINION e5 OeH MURPHY Says Ay d Lawyer Had Mo t 4or Killing Burdick.
Mrs. Hull and Her Daughter are Gen. E sured, While Mrs. Paine and Miss Hutchinson are Exonerated
 by the Judge.

Buffalo, N. r.. March U.-The verdict in the Burdick inquest. handed down by Judge Murphy today. while stating that the identity of the murderer of Edwin L. Burdick has not been proven. prac- tically charges Arthur R. Pennell, the dead lawyer. with the crime.
 Pennell had a stronger motive than any one else for putting Burdick out of the way. Judge Murphy says. and all the facts brought out by the inquest consti- tute just grounds for the issuance of . warrant agairst Penneu if he were alive. The verdict is softened somewhat so far as it relates to Pennell by the statement that if Pennell was alive he would be given the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
 In the opinion of Judge Murphy, Bur- dick had no women guest in his den on the night of the murder, and the crime was not the work of burglar. He ex- onerates Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine and Miss Hutchinson from any connection with the crime, and in conclusion criti- cises Mrs. Martha A. Hull and censures Mrs. Burdick. the former for her atti- tude toward the authorities and the in- consistency of her actions with the the- ory that she had no knowledge of the murder.
 Judge Murphy stated this afternoon that he will hold the inquest into the death of Arthur R. Pennell the latter part of this week or the first of next week.
 ''The Burdick incident has taught us ons thing" said Judge Murphy. that is to hold such investigations promptly. Tho police court inquest is the most na- tural machinery under the law form of Investigating such matters. Under it persons under suspicion aan be brought before magistrate and compelled to tell what they know. while there arc no sen. timental persons to shout against third degree.''
