OF Myers insanity. They think they
have proof that he not only acted ia

faithful IN his marital relations. The
police are reticent as to the nature Of
the facts in their possession, but a high
officer IN the department said last niglIS

Myers as q most peculiar person. He
was a man Of moods and kept TO him

with the bank he never had an intimate
friend among his fellOw-emplOyes AT
times he snapped at anyone asking
him a question. and It frequently hap
pened that other clerks who had to get
information from him on business wrote
their questions on paper and handed
them 70 Myers. who would reply I'm the
same manner.
That the crime OF Myers was not
premcditated is shown by the fact that
he had access to all sorts Of securities,
easily negotiable. and could have gotten
away with much more than he did He

FRIENDS THINK HIM INSANE

Motion VIII be made tomorrow or
Tuesday by the attorneys for the Ma
tional Safe Deposit. Savings. and Trust
Company and the Fidelity and Deposit
Company. Of Baltimore, for action by
the local courts under which the com
panies can seize the property left by
Willard II. Myers. the bookkeeper of the
National Company, who is missing with

This will more than pay the amount ha

1t was reported yesterday that Myers
had been seen In or on bis way to New
York. The police Of that city have. with
those Of number OF other cities, been
asked to look out for the missing man.
Friends OF Myers were insistent yes
terday with the assertion that the fugi-
tive must have gone temporarily insane.
They scoffed at the Idea that he had
fed with a woman. One woman. who
it was suspected had left the city in the
company Of the fugitive. is still in the
city, having married not long ago.

A gentleman who is intimately &C
ouainted with Myers. and who is also
connected with the Myers family, scouts
the idea OF woman in the case" and
is firmly convinced that the defaulting
bank clerks mind was affected when he
took the stock.
1T Is not reasonable to suppose" said
this man yesterday in discussing the
case that a man with the exemplary
habits OF Myers found time to go with
women. He attended strictly TO his
business, and was always at home in the
evenings. He went directly from his
home TO the bank, and returned 10 his
family as soon as his work was done.
His act was caused. / am sure. by tenn
porary alteration. This opinion is held
by the president Of the bank, Mr.. Jones,
who has known Myers for twenty years.
Myers entered the banks service
quite young, and was always a peculiar
sort OF fellow. When he was a child he
had a severe attack Of the scarlet fever.
When a young man he had the typhoid
fever and later received an injury in
gymnasium which in my opinion injured
the brain.
He was at work on parallel bars and
was jumping backw ard. He misjudged
the distance and. missing his hold. fell

not thought much OF at the time. but
there have been many cases where the
after effects were quite serious. Many

CAREER OF AUSTIN HERR

CAREER OF AUSTIN HERR

A suit filed in the District Supreme
Court yesterday by the Lyman D. Morse
Advertising Company against a concern
known as the Eureka Instantaneous Cor
set Steel Company. brings into new
prominence the career Of Austin Herr,
a resident OF Georgetown. Herr, in his
lifetime founded many enterprises and
patented many inventions of which the
Eureka Corset Company is the last 10

The petitioner in this suit claims an
unpaid Dill OF over 5000. and prays the
court 70 declare the Eureka Iustan-
taneous Corset Company a bankrupt.
Fortune Slipped Away.
The formation OF this company was
the last accomplishment OF Herr, who
died a short time ago. He had pre-
viously made himself we'll known local
~ by disposing Of a fortune of $500. 900
within four years, most of the money
being dissiDated in various sorts Of
schemes. apparently Of a chimerical
character.
Herr started life as a miller in George
town. He married the daughter OF an
other miller named WEIGH and his
wtfe's doSry. added TO his own, made
considerable fortune.
Among the most famous of his enter
prises was the establishment or a modal
SWISS dairy farm at Bowie. Md, about
tweuty-seven miles outside Of Balti-
more. For this dairy Herr purchased n
house with twenty-seven rooms on ore
floor, imported a number OF genuine
Swiss dairy maids. and then. TO cap the

thing to have hogs always breaking
out of the yards and pastures and hav-

the common sorts are hard to drive
and It Is no easy matter to return
them to their pens and yards once

The Kerry Cow.

The Kerry cow Is being written
about quite extensively In our foreign
exchanges, and II Is not improbable
that she Is among the breeds that Will
some time be known IN this country.
Whether she possesses any points that
would adapt her to some particular re-
gions of this country Is a matter Of
conjecture. Perhaps in some of our
more mountainous districts in the
south and I'm the far west she might
supply n demand for dairy COW that
Is poorly supplied at the present time.
The cow nas already assumed consid-
cradle importance In England on ac-
count of being small in size and being
also able to thrive on poor short pas
ture. Evidently she has been devel-
oped under hard conditions. Some of
her English friends claim for her that
she will give more milk and butter &C.
cording TO her weight and on poor pas
turage than any other breed OF cattle
on the same kind Of pasturbge. On
she other hand, the use of good pas
turago seems to be against the Kerry
COW, as she at once begins to take
on flesh and shrink In her milk. One
man says that the Kerry will live and
do well where Jersey cow would
starye. She Is said to possess one
quality that certainly Is not common
with COWS and that Is the ability to
regain her milk flow when it has been
shrunk for months from poor feed
This is point in her favor, If 1t can
be established. The Kerry is said
to be very hardy and to be able to
pass the Irish winter without shelter,
