Mr. Girard was astonished;
he was not accustomed to

the young man that unless
he could obey lnstl tluctions he
must give up his position,
and the young man went.

Ten Bank Oflcers In one Prison.

Wilmington Messenger,
The penitentiary at Colum
bus. Ohio. opened its doors
on Saturday to receive A. B.
Spear, late cashier OF the O.
berlin bank, tn close upon
him for seven long years. He
is the terth bank official on
the present roll Of that instl-
tuition.
Just think of it-ten bank
officials and no two OF them,
we suppose, from the sa e
bank, serving terms at the
same time in one prison for
emhezzl"ment and o. h e r
fraudulent transactions with
the money entrusted to their
keeping by the patrons of the
banks. Some of these a re
men who occupied positions
of trust and responsibility
for years. Some had, by ap-
plicatiOn, attention to duty
and tried honestly to work
their way up from low-grade
clerkships to the leading pos
sitiDns in the banks. No
doubt some OF them, before
they fell had been more than
Onre soreIy tempted to COM
NIT criminal breaches OF their
trusts. but had resisted the
temptation. But the t m e
ca me with each one Of these
when the strain on their NOR
al strength was greater r than
they could bear and con-
science gave way. Moral for.
titude to stand up against
some temporary pecunlary
embarra sSment d sert e q
them. The tempter told them
they could take the money
entrusted to their safe keep
ing for their pressing needs
and return it before their ac-
ton was found out; t h a t
there were many men no "
living in wealth and stand
ing high in the estimation of
the mora, financial world
who had done the same; that
it would be easy by specula
ton to make enough money
TO pay back what they had
taken and leave a gOodly
sum for themselves.
No doubt there are among
these ten men some who fall
sitied accounts, made false
entries 10 their books, swore
to false statements, who, be.
fore they had given way to
the first temptation, would
have recoiled with horror at
the bare suggestion t h a t
they should make temproa,
ry Use Of any of any OF t b e
money of others over which
they had control, but after
awhile they began to listen
to the tempter, but still res
fused to do his bidding. Then
they began to argue the mat
ter with him, still resisting.
though that resistance grew
weaker and weaker until at
last the ia tai step was taken
with the idea OF early restOo
ration and some of t b q
banks money was secretly
'bOrrOwed.' Thence the down
ward road was easy which
ended in disgrace and a cell
in the penitentiary.

Deferred.

sen, for Mr. O'Beirne. the British charge de af-
faires and requested him to ask the British gov

ton of the water for power purposes. The Cana

CATION of the ST. John River. while the Washing
ton government has taken the position that the
river was not intended to be included. There
has been considerable anxiety the part of the
Canadians lest the obstruction in the river should
not be removed, and there have been threats that
the Canadians might take the matter in their own
hands AS the result of the conference between
Secretary Taft and Mr. O'Beirne this afternoon, 1t

OBeirne tonight sent cablegram to Lord Lans-
downe the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
transmitting the request of Secretary Taft that the
Canadian authorities be requested withhold any
action the present. 1t is stated here tonight
