HOW THE STORY CAME OUT.
Brother of Defaulter Unwittingly Re
vealed Banks Condition.

CHICAGO, April pa special to the
Daily News from Milwaukee says that
William Bigelow, vice president of the
Firce National Bank and brother of Frank
G. Bigelow defaulter, accidentally exposed
his brother to the directors, is the story
that is accepted in banking circles as the
true version as to how the crime became
known Saturday night.
1t seems that Frank G. Bigelow was
called out of town Saturday and that the
affairs of the bank We're left in the hands
of his brother. Saturday morning a tele-
gram came, addressed to BigeloW, from a
New York bank, stating that it was WILL
ing to take care of a draft for $4,000, even
though the bank was already indebted to
the New York house for 100000.
William Bigelow could not understand
the matter and was more puzzled when he
discovered that the New York bank was
charged in the books with being indebted
to the First National for 100000 He asked
the bank TO explain and found that the
telegram was correct. An examination or
the books followed and he found so many
queer things that he decided not to walt
for his brother to return. but to consult
with Mr. Pfster. They Immediately sus-
pected one of the cashiers of defaulting,
and called a special meeting of the direc-
tors.
Frank G. Bigelow returned but did not
see his brother until he reached the bank
in the evening to attend the meeting. When
the directors had assembled William Bige-
low told what he had discovered and stated
that he had no idea of the amount taken
or who the criminal was. Thereupon his
brother arose and made the startling dis
closure that he was defaulter for over
81 100000.

doors were kept closed, the reason assigned
being to prevent pickets learning what

STARTLING CHARGES
Made in Report of Municipal League at
Baltimore.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. April 27.-Startling
charges are made in the report of the
Municipal League, made public this morning,
In the case of each councilmanic candidate
the league declares the facts have been
proved. The league advises the public to
support the loans, and 1t says that the re-
fusal of Mayor Timanus to appoint COM
mission does not justify any public-minded
citizen in refusing to vote for the loans.
In the preamble the league report says:
I'VE regret to express our conviction, made
much more positive by recent investigation,
that money has been corruptly used In a
number of measures in our council.
1T Is well known that the usual way for
corruption is for the bribe-giver to first
see the party bosses. There are no wit
nesses to the transaction, as it Is done In
secret.
I'm some cases counclmen do not even
know that their votes have been purchased
but in most cases the councilman is fully
aware of the situation and shares in the
bride. This shameful condition Of affairs
must be brought to an end.
The Municipal League is a permanent
body. and will keep a watch on all these
matters. but the experience of st. Louis
and elsewhere demonstrates the fact that
the chief protection against corruption must
depend on vigorous investigation and
prosecution at the hands of the executive
committee OF the league

SEES NOTE OF WARNING
RUSSIAN PAPER CALLS ATTEN-
TIoN TO HAMMOND SPEECH.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 27.-The Novoe
Vremya calls attention to the statements
of John Hays Hammond before the Ameri-
can Academy of Political and Social Science
at Philadelphia April as being the utter
ances of a friend of President Roosevelt
and as constituting note of warning to
Japanophles in America and England, both
politically and industrially.
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Hammond, among other things, said that
Japan's strategic position commercially, by
reason of the suZerainty she will establish
over Korea, would render her the most
formidable competitor of the United States
in the far east, and added: Americas In
terests in this respect will undoubtedly run
counter to those Of Japan. Japan Is the
only nation, as 1 view it, which can serious
ly compete with us for commercial suprem-
acy in that part of the world The contest
will undoubtedly be a bitter one. not only
because of our conflicting commercial in
tereStS, but aggravated by those racial an
tipathies even now agitating our Pacific
coast states.
If Japan secures war indemnity from
Russia large portion of this undoubtedly
will be expended on increasing her fleet.
THE war involves then that we and Great
Britain also must maintain formidable nav
al forces, with strong Pacific bases, and
that the most intimate relations must char
acterize the diplomacy of the two great
English-Speaking nations"
