PRESIDENT OF FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF MILWAUKEE PLUM.
DERS THE INSTITUTION.
IMMENSE SUM LOST IN SPECULATION
DIRECTORS SUBSCRIBE AMOUNT
SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT
ALL DEPOSiTORS.

Milwaukee, April 25.-Frank G.
Bigelow, president of the First Ma
tional bank of this city and former
president of the American Bankers
association, has defaulted the bank s
funds to the extent of $15OO,OOO. The
directors Of the bank have deposited
in the bank sum sufficient to make
the institution perfectly solid.
The capital of the First National
bank Is Sl,5OG,000 and the surplus is
$l,200,OOO. Mr.. Bigelow has signed
over property to the bank amounting
to 100000, making his net defalca-
tion about s1,200,OOO.
Aside from the surplus, which will
meet the amount of the defalcation,
the sum OF $l,535, 900 has been sub
scribed by directors to meet any de-
mands which may be made on the
bank. The comptroller of the cur
rency has been notified and has been
asked to make an immediate examina-
tion Of the bank.
Mr.. BigelOW's detalcatiOn became
known to the directors of the bank on
Saturday night. He admitted that
the amount had been lost in specula-
ton and that he had falsiied the
books to cover UP the defalcation.
Assistant Cashier Implicated.
Henry G. Coll, assistant cashier of
the bank, has been removed charged
with having been party to the falsi-
fication Of the figures in the ban s
books. The announcements OF the de-
falcatiOn was made by George P. Mil
ler, one Of the directors OF the bank.
notice has been issued by the
directors announcing that a sum has
been subscribed sufficient to protect
the depositors. Charles f. Pfster
headed the list of directors, who sub
Scrlbed large amounts to meet the
deficit. Mr.. Pfister's subscription is
$GOO,OO0.
Mr. Bigelow was in his Office at the
bank as usual up to noon taking over
books and papers. His manner was
greatly agitated.
Mr.. Bigelow has long occupied
foremost place in the financial trans
actions Of Milwaukee. Only last year
he was president Of the American
Bankers association. He is also prom
inent in MilWaukees social set.
Up to noon the defalcation was
known to only a few and while the
news is likely to create CONSERVATION
among the depcsitors ample provision
has been made to more than meet
any emergency.
Wheat Speculation the Cause.
An intimate friend of President
Bigelow, discussing the case, said:
Wheat speculation has cost the
BigelOws their name and the bank
large sum OF money. 1t is a family
tragedy as well as a tremendous shock
to the financial circles of the city.
The father, Frank G.. Bigelow, had
Chicago speculative connections with
the firm of Tracy & Co., in which his
son, Gordon Bigelow, was a member"

Unique Decision in Damage Suit In
Illinois Court.

Bloomington, ILL.,, April 25. = A
unique point in damage suit has
been brought out by a decision Of
Judge Wright in the Champaign coun-
ty court. Last fall railroad dining
car was derailed and Ralph O. Rob-
erts, a student of the University Of
Illinois, was killed. He was prom
inent athlete and the case attracted
considerable attention, his admins
traitor bringing suit for $4,000. The
defendants attorney moved that the
suit be dismissed on the plea that
the plaintiff had not introduced evi-
dence To show that any person was
depending upon Roberts for support
and that. being a college man, he
really was an expense to his parents
during that period of life. The Judge
decides that the point is we'll taken
and has dismissed the case An ap-
peal will be taken.

FAITH IN JOHN HAY,

It is extraordinary what faith the whole country puts in our poet secreta- ry of state, John Hay. Those who crit icise MT. Roosevelt as the man with the ''big stick" praise MT. Hay, who agrees with him precisely and on whose advice he does everything. They will have it that MT. Roosevelt would run amuck among the republics if MT Hay did not hold restraining hand. We see no kind of evidence that this is so, but yet the country is rejoiced that the election keeps at the head of our foreign affairs a diplomat who has no superior the world over. We can boast that our country falls behind no coun- try abroad in the honor it has put on the literary man, whether President or premier And we have with us fresh illustration of the fact that the literary imagination finds successful field in di- plomacy.-Independ

Rose from the Sea, Formed an Island
 and Sank Again.
 On June Is, 1S10, the Sabrina, a Brit ish sloop of war, observed smoke aris- ing from the sea near St. Michael's of the Azores and made for it believing that naval engagement was in prog ress. Her crew found, however, that great tongues of flame were issuing along the smoke, and that they had cleared for action to fight volcano.
 Forty-eight hours later an island made it's appearance, having risen from a depth of forty fathoms in that period and in another day it was fifty-one feet above the surface, with length of about three-quarters of mile. By July the Sabrina's people were able to iand on this new shore which was then 300 feet high, with a circumference of fully mile, with a stream six yards wide, running from the centre to the sea.
 They took formal possession of it for his Britannia majesty, hoisting the un- ion jack on it's most conspicuous point but by degrees the island sank until about the middle of October it vanished below the surface with the union jack still on it, like a battleship sinking with colors flying after fatal engage ment.- London Standard.

laid himself out to astonish the white nag" He put down his head, doubled himself up, and went tearing up the asphalt street. For about a minute il all was rather surprising to the un. shaven white; he couldn't understand the changing of the gong ust over his tail; he didn't like the way the wagor | swayed from side to side. Then ht caught on to the game. He discov- cred that he was expected to run, and l run like-well, as hard as he could. II | about three blocks he had the eyes oi the black horse bulging out like tea ! cups; two blocks more and about 6 foot and g. half of the black horses tongue was dangling out; another block and the black horse suggested 1 that they slow up a bit, >
 No use overexerting yourself" hC
 gasped to the white horse. "1'his i: just fun, you know;t there isn't any fire. and so whats thelu in going SC
 like the blazes?' s4
 "oh, come on,'' replied the white
 don't be so lazy" .hzs When they got back to the fire de- partment headquarters, the white horse was hauling about three-fourths of the weight of the wagon and the black horse was covered with thick layer oi soap suds. ~@t ". The horse doctors and veterinary ex. perts decided that the white horse would do. He was bought, and will be
 put into service at once on the big fire
 steamer where his running mate will
 be Rex, the handsome sorrel. Chiei
 Wilmarth said:
 You can't always tell horse by it's
 coat. The white horse has fine foot and leg, an intelligent head, is broad through the breast and has good back. He has fine disposition, and will be good horse wherever we put him. Three months from now, when that horse gets into training, you won't know him.
 The horse weighs 1,475 pounds, is ten and one-half hands high and seven years old, It was brought in by Brat ton & Son, horse buyers, from the northern part of the state.
 As soon as the harness can be made, the new fire steamer will go into regu- lar service and will run to all fires In the business part of the eity.--Topeka Journal.

 They hitched up the bedraggled white horse to the hose wagon with a spirited black animal, the fastest run- her in the whole department. The handsome black paved and pranced; le was anxious for a chance to show Up his humble white running mate, and make him look like thirty cents. The black horse was overheard to say to hitched:
 You think you can be a fire horse, do you? Well, we'll just see about it. l must say you don't look very good to me. Yours legs are toot stubby and you'll get your feet tangled up in your fetlocks if you aren't careful.
