A MESSENGERS CRIME.
Clarence l.. Leonard, IS Years Old.
Said To Have Secured $4,000 from
New York hanks by Means Of Forged
Checks.

New York, Oct. 16.-Haskins & Sells,
certified public accountants, asked the
local police yesterday to send out Il
general alarm for Clarence l.. Leon
ard, IS years old, of East Orange, n.
j., messenger employed by the firm.
1t is alleged that Leonard forged two
checks, one for $500 and the other
for $2,j76, using the firms name, on
two local banks, presented them at
the banks and collected the money.
He is said to have secured the money
last Tuesday at noon and to have dis
appeared Immediately afterward. 1t
Is also said that a young woman liv-
ing in East Orange disappeared at the
same time. Leonard had been atten-
tive to her and the supposition of the
bank officials and the police is that
they have eloped. Leonard comes
from prominent family of East
Orange and had the full confidence of
his employers.
1t was part of Leonard's duties as
messenger, to make deposits and to
draw money for current uses of the
firm from the BANKS He was well
known at the banks. and there was
no question when the checks were
presented for payment.
The forgery is considered to be
clever work and, the bank officials
say, was undoubtedly traced. The
discovery was made. however, in one
of the banks almost Immediately af-
ter the check had been cashed there.
The suspicion of the cashier was
aroused because Leonard. he said
seemed nervous and because the
check called for $500, larger
amount than he had ever presented a
check for before.
Haskins & Sells were communicated
with and member of the firm hur-
ried to the bank, examined the check
and pronounced it a forgery. In
quiry at another bank where the
firm had an account disclosed the
fact that Leonard had cashed a check
for $2,57G there.
A description of Leonard has been
telegraphed to all the principal cities
of the country and all steamship
lines and railroads have been watch
ed. \ detective agency has also sent
out description of the young wom-
an in the case.

CRUCIBLE STEELCO.
Will be Made a Powerful Com
petitOr of the Trust.
The Charlton. Pa. Plant To be En-
Iarged and Improved - Company
Owns Ore Lands, Coal Mines
and Coking PIants-Neces-
sary Funds Provided.

Pittsburg, Oct. 15.-Since the
United States Steel Corporation has
declined to take over half interest
in the Clarion Steel Co., now owned
by the Crucible Steel Co., and after
contract had been made to do So,
the officers of the Crucible Steel Co.
will go ahead with the original plans
to make this plant a powerful COM
petitor of the combine and will them
selves furnish the necessary funds to
do So The fact that the company
owns its ore lands. coking plants and
coal mines, its officers say, puts it in
an independent position for raw ma
terial. All ii has to do now is to build
finishing mills to its already enor-
nous works at Charlton to have one
of the most modern works in the
country.
Yesterday after a long conference
by the executive officers or the Cruel
BILE Steel Co., the following announce
ment was made by President Frank
B. SMITH
by reason of the failure of the
consummation of the, sale of the
Clarion Steel Co. property, under
the contract which had been executed
which the officers of the Crucible
Steel Co. had every reason to believe
would be carried out, it became neces-
sary to have additional funds for the
working capital of the Charlton plant
and taking care of its indeDtedess.
AT meeting sufficient subscrip-
tlons have been obtained to effect this
plan. 1t has also been considered ad-
visable to effect reorganization of
the company, and il has been ar
ranged to have William q. Park be-
come chairman, in fun control.
1T is probable that the large oper-
ations of the Charlton Steel Co. may
require the company to discontinue
the dividends on the preferred stock
If this proves to be so the directors
will not hesitate to suspend dividends
while this necessity exists"
The change in the officers an
nounced brings back into harness
William &. Park, who had retired
from active participation in the steel
business, and Reuben Miller, who
has been out of Office for some time.
W. P. Snyder, who remains at the
head of the Clarion Co., is said to be
one of the most skillful iron and
steel manufacturers in the city
The company will turn out sheets
anu OARS IOf the independent mills
and possibly enter the rail market
Finishing lines will be added to the
works TO form an outlet for the
heavy tonnage of billets and blooms
that are available for open market
The Crucible Steel Co. has a capital
Of SjO,OO0,OOO. Its own plants are
large consumers of open hearth bill
lets. 1t was organized in 1900 and
while never paying a common stock
dividend has accumulated u surnlu,
