Condemns Low Water Alarms.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 25.-Prof. M.
Z. Cooley of the university, in a con-
versation with state official here
condemned the Michigan statute re-
quiring that all stationary boilers be
equipped with low water alarms. Prof.
Cooley states that the best of these
alarms are not perfect, that they clog
up with dirt and become useless. Far
more explosions occur, he says, where
they are used than in cases where
they are not employed, and he had adj
vised firms for whom he is consulting
engineer not TO comply with the law.

JAMES Wallace Of Marquette Charged
With Big Theft.
WAS ARRESTED IN LIVERPOOL
Sailed Under Name Of James Wilson
Woman With Him-TraveIed as
Man and Wfe--Not Known to Have
Been Married.

New York. Nov. 25.---James Wal.
lace, who Is charged with the theft OF
stock certificates valued at nearly
$4,000 from Edward NJ. Breitung, a
Marquette, Mich, banker, by whom he
was employed as confidential secre-
tary, has been arrested in Liverpool.
Nearly $4,000 of the sum alleged to
have been stolen from Breitung was
recovered. Arrangements are now be-
ing made looking to the extradition Of
Wallace to this country.
Wallace fed from Marquette on Oct.
so, leaving word with his employer
that he was going to an institution
for the cure Of inebriety in Illinois.
When he cid not return Mr.. Breitung
began an Investigation, with the re-
tult that $50 shares of Michigan cop
per mining stock and 200 shares of
United States Steel preferred stock
were found to be missing. He at once
reported the case to the American
Bankers association, with the result
that search was begun for Wallace.
1t was found that he took passage
from Boston on the Cunard liner Sax
onia for Liverpool on Nov. IL with
woman said TO be his wife, under the
names of Mr.. and Mrs. James Wilson
1t was subsequently learned that Wal
lace had obtained letter of credit in
Boston for G. 400. When the steamer
reached England detective was at
the pier and the man and woman who
lad gone over under the name Of viii.
son were followed until the man was
positively identified as Wallace Wal
lace was then taken into custody. The
G4,400 and the money which Wallace
had in his possession was recovered.
Marquette, Mich, Nov. 25.-The re-
port that James Wallace of this city,
the missing confidential clerk Of e. N.
Breitung, arrived in Liverpool with a
woman was received with surprise in
this city. Wallace Is about 40 years
old and is not known to have ever
been married.
What will happen to James Wallace
ia matter Of conjecture here. It can
not be stated whether OF not Mr. Bret
tung, having recovered most Of tho
value of the missing stocks, worth in
the aggregate $26,500, will see fit to
prosecute, but 1t is said that 1t may be
no easy thing to save Wallace from
the legitimate consequences of his al
legged misdeeds. This will also largely
depend upon the state of his accounts.
His books have not yet been examined.

Marshall, Mich, Nov. 25.--It was 80

ground of ignorance Of the law In re-
spect to burial permits. Drake showed
that the child, which doctors swore
had been born dead, had been buried
so peculiarly because he had too many
expenses to meet to warrant his pur.
chasing lot in the cemetery, while it
was also the wish of his wife to have
the child buried on the lot where they
intend to build their home later

A Real Christmas Story.

one of the most charming Christmas

of James Hopper. Any one who read
Mr.. Hopper's story in the November
McClure's, startingly real interpreta-
tion of the physical and mental stress
Of football, will find it difficult to asso
ciate his name with this exquisitely
tender and sympathetic sketch of the
heart life of little French lad. In such
a remarkable contrast Mr.. Hopper
shows his true art. His Christmas
story is literary gem, excelling in
both quality and workmanship. 1t has
caught and reflects the Christmas spirit
IN all of its beauty and sentiment. 1t is
snre to bring tears of appreciation into
many an eye before this children slide
is past,

About 4 o'clock in the morning the
seven railroad men whose names are
mentioned above walked down to the
dock and asked the night ferryman
to be taken across to Sarnia. The
wind was blowing a gale from the
northwest, causing heavy sea, and
as the seven men piled into the small
boat William Briggs, who runs the
craft, was warned that he had too
many aboard for such a night. The
warning was unheeded, however, and
the party started for the Canadian
shore
They got along fairly we'll until they
were within about 500 feet of the dock
when an extra heavy swell caused the
boat to careen, partially filling it with
water. The men became frightened
and nearly all of them stood up The
next wave that struck them sent the
boat over and all were thrown into
the water.

steamer Stephen c. Hall, which was
lying near, witnessed the catastrophe
and threw. out lines to the struggling

four passengers, however, were either
too frightened or were unable to reach
the lines, and went down.

The Century

There is always one by which
the rest are measured. In the
magazine world, that one has al
ways been and is to-day The
CENTURY. Ask writer's where
their best productions are first Of
fered; ask editors which magazine
they would rather conduct; ask
public men where articles carry
most influence; ask artists where
they would prefer to be represent
ed; ask the public what magazine
is the first choice among people of
real influence, and the answer to
each question is the same: "THE

the best in 1905?

printed, in pamphlet form, the first his
tory Of Michigan ever published. This

contains in addition to the earliest
events, the details of the war of 1912,

Mr.. Burton offers to mail copy of this
history to any person in Michigan who
will make known his or her address,

Only one copy will be sent to single

FEMININE FIDELITY.
Increasing Demand For Women In
PoaitiOna of Trust.

Increasing Demand For Women In
Positions of Trust.
The increasing tendency toward the
employment Of women in positions Of
trust by financial institutions is thus
explained by the president of one of
Che largest banks in the country: 1.-THE
feeling Is gaining ground that women
are on the whole more honest than
men. A considerable number of wom-
en- are now rendering satisfactory serv-
ice as cashiers and tellers, handling
large sums daily without loss or error.
One OF the most conspicuous traits in
the feminine nature is fidelity to trust.
Speculation, the chief pitfall of default
ing employees, does not attract wom-
en- as 1t does men. Cards and drink
also drag down many male employee.
and these, again, are more particular
~ masculine vices. Some of the largest
banks in New York are employing
women In positions of heavy RESPONSE
billy. Banking is an occupation In
which men no longer have a monopo-
p.r
AS to the question whether women
are by nature more honest than men.
certain masculine critics aver that
women have gained that reputation on
~ because they are subject to fewer
temptations to steal than are men. But
IS this the case? asks Robert Webster
Jones I'm the Housekeeper. What &C.
cupation offers a more severe test OF
honesty than domestic Service? 1t is
impossible for a mistress TO lock up
her belongings from her servants, and
opportunities for pilfering are numer-
GUS, yet stealing is comparatively rare.
The majority of business men arc con-
vinccd Of womans fidelity In response
bic positions and her ability TO dis.
charge important duties. Never were
there such opportunities for capable.
energetic women as at present await
them in the business world.-Brookly
