GroCsrs at Chicago.

spread conspiracy by which they have
lost thousands of dollars worth OF mer-

receiving clerk and retail grocer.
other arrests will be made today and
II Is believed that 80 or more men--em-
ployes OF the wholesale houses, as well as
retail groccrs-will be involved In the
charges.
According to the confession OF one OF
the prisoners the scheme was worked In
this manner:
A driver would take 90 bags OF sugar
out OF the Warehouse. Then he would
drive around to some retail grocer VINO
was 'in" on the play and would deliver
perhaps IS of the bags to him. That done.
he would deliver the As TO the wholesale
house.
OF course, to make the records seem
right, II would be necessary for the driv-
ers TO have an understanding with some
receiving clerk In the wholesale house.
The receiving clerk would check UP for
60 sacks recorded IN this way and the
theft would not have been detected until
IL was found the stock on hand was De-
coming depleted.

nation had passed successfully through
one OF the most tremendous conflicts that
ever tested the stability Of a state; the
church had safely weathered the storms
that ragged within and about It,
OF all these changes. Bishop Clark was
a part. and I'm all his influence was
mighty. AS priest and bishop he was AL
ways conservative. Strongly grounded
In his own beliefs. and master OF an elo-
quence that was convincing when he
attempted 10 set forth his convictions,
he was yet wisely tolerant OF the faith
which others professed. In no diocese
in the land therefore was there less OF
discord and more OF brotherly love than
In the diocese OF Rhode Island during
all his long episcopate.
OF what citizen should be, the dead
bishop may he held up as a model. His
voice was constantly heard In advocacy
Of everything that tended 10 advance the
welfare OF the state. At home in Rhode
Island. he was always an earnest worker
In missions, In charities, in municipal re-
forms. out side the narrow confines of
this little commonwealth, his powers were
acknowledged. When the Civil war al
most sapped the foundations OF the state.
he was one OF the great pillars upor.

strength was most sorely tried
As man. who shall measure his in
fiuence? Courtly in presence. affable in
conversation, most eloquent I'm discourse,
past master I'm diplomacy, possessor OF a
delicious humor which carried all men
captive, the diocese of Rhode Island for
almost half century looked upon him
with a respect rarely accorded to men,
with a love and admiration which never
