The bill provides for the construc

thus Uncle Sans navy continues

Cincinnati Enquirer has this TO
say:
The purpose to build a great
navy is not a sudden inspiration.
Ii has had definite shape for TWEEN
ty years. The people were quick
in patriotic response when the
new naval program was adopted
in the irst Cleveland administra-
ton, aud there has since been no
abatement in general zeal. Our
expansion policy has quickened
the nerves and spirit of the coun-
try, and any backward or tardy
step in the naval program would
be nothing less thing than dis
graceful. The pace has been sci

Chicago, Ill.-Traf1c in American

and Chinese ports in under investiga-

that two women in this city, who have
agents in Shanghai and Hong Kong,
induce the girls to make the trip by
telling of fabulous sums they can earn
as maids in wealthy Chinese families.
AS further bait the applicant for the
position is told that her travelling and
living expenses will be paid and all
necessary clothing furnished. When
the women reach China they are placed
unde guard and sent to the purchas-
ers. Many are supposed to be held in
palaces of wealthy Chinese.

BANK B CLEARED
J~anitor C~onfesses 10 Stealing $4,000
From Vault
Former Bank Omsial Gave Him Safe
Combination and locked Him
in Vault.

Lima, Ohio.-TLe mystery surround
ing the robbery ven years ago of the
American National Bank here Of $1S.-
600 was cleared by the confession to
Prosecutor William Klinger. of Elijah
B~owsher, formerly janitor of the Fau-
rot Opera House Block, in which the
institution was located.
Bowsher and Thomas Wilkins a real
estate agent. were indicted by the
Grand Jury last week for the robbery.
and Bowsher exonerated wilkins, but
implicated Benjamin G. Faurot, for
merly a millionaire and president of
the old National Bank. Faurot died in
SanduSky a year ago, practically PEN
niless.
The robbery of the American Bank
defied the work of the PinkertOnS and
dozen other detective bureaus. None
of the vault doors, locks or time locks
was damaged, and the theory was that
Cashier Kalb and Vice-President
Michael had committed the crime.
Michael was indicted two years later.
but believing he could gain stronger
evidence against him, Prosecutor
KIincer nolled the indictment to gain
time.
Later Mrs. Wilkins told Klinger in
idle conversation that Kalb and Mich.
ael were not guilty. The prosecutor
finally got Mrs. Wilkins assistance q
month ago, a meeting being arranged
where the conversation between Will
kins and BowSher was overheard and
taken down by the court ~stenographer.
Bowsher and Wilkins were then ar
rested. Bowsher claimed that Faurot
gave him the combination of the inner
safe. which had lever been changed
since the failure Of the Lima National.
Bowsher says he gave Faurot $4,000
and hid the rest in the gas pipe in the
basement of the block. He further
adds that he wanted to confess when
Faurot was living. as Mrs. Wilkins
was persistent in her demands, to
whom he had confessed the crime
when she once cornered him about it
in her husbands Office. He said he
would plead guilty.
With Prosecutor Klinger, BowSher
was locked in the vault after his con-
fessiOn. He got out in just eight min
utes and forty seconds.
