Records Falsifed.

The method adopted was an old one.
Collection accounts were manipulated
to the extent of 40 and in some in
stances SO per cent. to make it appear
that the reserve fund was intact. and
the amount of the increased collection
fund was diverted to special stock OPP
erations. The reserve maintained in
eastern banks were tempered with, the
books OF the First National being fixed
so that the reserve appeared to be
larger by several hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars than it really was.
These and other methods were pursued
by Bigelow in footing the bank. In the
classifying of records and the manipu-
lation of the reserves Bigelow declares
he was aided by Assistant Cashier
Coll and two bookkeepers in the bank.

WAUKEE, GOES WRONG.
Confesses to Misuse of Nearly 81 $780,
900 of Banks Funds-Is Arrested
and Held to Grand Jury Directors
Make Good the Shortage.

Milwaukee, April 25.-Frank G. Bige-
low, until Monday president of the
First National bank of Milwaukee, and
lex president of the American Bankers
association. has been arrested, charged
with the embezzlement of over $780,
GOO of the banks funds. The arrest
OF Mr.. Bigelow followed his confession
to the board of directors of the bank
that he was a defaulter to the extent
of $1,450,00 Following Mr.. BigeloW's
confession, he was removed from the
presidency of the bank and the facts
in the case were laid before the federal
authorities.
The complaint was sworn to by
United States District Attorney H. K.
Butterfeld. 1t charges that BlgeloW
as president of the First National
bank, embezzled sum exceeding $780,
e00. A complaint and warrant iden-
teal with those in Bigelow's case were
made out to Henry G. Coll, assistant
cashier of the bank, but Coll could
day night. President BigeIow was
taken before United States Court Com
missioner Bloodgood and bail was
fxed at $25, 600.
Lost in Speculation.
President Bigelow's confession was
made at special meeting of the board
OF directors held Saturday evening and
continued. Sunday and all OF Sunday
night. In addressing his fellow direc-
tors, President Bigelow said he had a
painful statement to make-a confess
sion that he had misdirected the funds
of his books and comparison of fig
ures would show that he was indebted
to the bank to the amount 5f over ST.
100000. This moHey, he said, had been
lost in speculation in wheat and stocks.
Not dollar of it could be recovered
and the only sum he could offer to-
ward recompensating the bank was
personal securities valued at approx
mately 100000.
In making his statement to the di-
rectors of the bank, Mr.. Bigelow said
he had become involved in speculation
several months ago. This was on
Wall street. More recently he had been
persistent bull in the wheat market
and recent loss there had added to
heavy reverses on Wall street. From
small manipulations of the banks
funds he had extended the defalca-
lions until his shortage had reached
the present stage He saw no oppor-
tunity Or possibility of making up the
amount and therefore confessed.
The board of directors of the bank
decided that no attempt should be
made to shield the chief defaulter and
his associates in the crime from their
full measure of punishment, and they
will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.

SWIFT WANTS INVESTIGATION.

Chicago. Another attack was made
| Tuesday afternoon upon the Interna-
tional Harvester company by Rodney
B. Swift, formeraly head of the expert
mental department of the Mccormick
branch of the harvester company.
Swift's connection with the company
was severed some months ago and suit
commenced against him by the officials
oft he company, who alleged that he
had defrauded the company out of the
proceeds of the sale of patent. In
his bill filled Swift, as stakeholder, de-
mands an accounting from the COM
pany and demands that the court force
the company to cease taking rebates
from the railroad companies and also
compel the company to return to the
railroads money said by Swift to have
been Illegally exacted from the rail-
roads in the past.
Swift declares that up to September
80, 1902, the Mccormick branch of the
harvester company alone forced the
railroads to pay it, Through rebates and
the operation of the Illinois Northern
road, sum in excess of So, 900 900.
Up to the same date the money paid
in rebates to the Plano branch of the
harvester company through the agency
of the Chicago, West Pullman q South
ern railroad amounted to $500, 900.
Since September 30, 1902, it is de-
clared that nine other railway COM
panies have been making payments of
rebates to the International Harvester
company, declaring that shortly after
its formationna arrangement was made
between President Cyrus H. McCor-
mick, Charles Deering, George w. Per-
kins and William G. Lane, to the effect
that all of the stock of the company
had been under voting trust COM
posed of the men until 1912. Swift
demands the disbandment of the voting
trust.
Swift says that his demands for an
examination of the company's books
have been refused.

New Russian Envoy

ST. Petersburg, July AN. Mura-
vieff has resigned his position as chief
peace plenipotentia1y 1t is practical
ly certain that he will be replaced by
NJ. White, president of the committee
of ministers.
Though the emperor on two previous
occasions has fatty declined to accept
NJ. White, he has now indicated his
readiness to make the appointment.
M. Whites selection undoubtedly
will hailed be as a practical assurance
of peace, While it would be a mistake
to denominate him as ''peace at any
price" man, M. White earnestly be-
lieves that the struggle should be ended
and should be succeeded by an under
standing between Russia and Japan
which would insure peace in the far
east for half century. Indeed, he is
personally believed to be in favor a
Russo-Japanese alliance.
The only handicap under which M.
Witte labors is his lack of familiarity
with the English language, as the only
foreign languages he speaks are Ger
man and French.
M. Muraieff's retirement, ostensibly
owing to reasons of i'll health, is in
reality due to the fact that the emperor
became convinced that the negotiations
might be jeopardized if he went to
Washington. M. Muravieff himself,
upon consideration, quite frankly re-
cognized his lack of diplomatic train
ing and his want of acquaintance with
the questions involved, and with equal
frankness expressed satisfaction that
he had been relieved.
The change in the chief of the pleni-
poteI t aries does not involve any post
ponement of the date of sailing of the
peace mission for Washington.

The Chicago Daily News cor

The Chicago Daily News correspon-
dent at Stock holm cables as follows:
War between Sweden and Norway,
with the Norwegians as the aggressors,
is declared to be an imminent danger
by DR.. Sven Hedin, the we'll known ex-
plorer, who has addressed passionate
appeal to the Swedes in America to
come to the rescue of the father land
by raising a naval defense fund of S.
100000. Hedin asserts that the people
of Sweden have lapsod into unbeliev.
able apathy with regard to the union
crisis and require urgently to have ag-
gressive patriotism preached to them
by Sweden's sons and daughters across
the sea. Norway, according to Hedin,
is realizing Sweden's indifference and
unpreparedness and is preparing for at
tack. 1t has made all its plans for
falling upon Sweden, when it deems
the psychological moment has arrived.

O'Clock at the family home at Latah,
