CLAIMS KINSHIP.
Salt Lake Woman Says Yandaw Was
Her Father.

Norfolk, Va, April 25-Chlef of
Police Bousch today received a letter
from Mary Hall. of Salt Lake City,
Utah, in which the latter asks the
chief to give her any information
that he may have concerning her
father, Thomas YandaW. She makes
no reference to the recent develop
ment that Yandaw, who died in an
asylum, was entitled to the larger por-
ton of a California estate of $780,
600, but writes as if in total ignorance
of this matter. She says that she left
home II years ago. The writer says
she has learned that Yandaw was in
Virginia asylum at Williamsburg. She
remembers that her father often spoke
of the fortune to which he was en-
titled in California and says he ought
to be a very rich man but that she
has not heard from him since she left
home. She says that she was his only
daughter.
Investigation here fails to show that
Yandaw ever had a daughter. John
S. Weber, assistant chief of the Nor
folk city fire department, says he
knew Yandaw from the time he came
to Norfolk before the civil war ard
that he never heard of his having a
child with the exception of William J.
Hudgins, a blind stepson who is now
living here.

Frank G. BigeIOw, DefauIting Mil
Waukee Bank President.

The complaint was sworn to by the
United States district attorney, H K
Butterheld. A complaint and warrant
identical with those in Bigelow's case
were made out to Henry G. Coll assist
ant cashier of the bank. but Coll could
not be found.
President Bigelow was taken before
the United States court commissioner,
Mr.. Bloodgood. He waived a hearing
and was held to the federal grand il1rv
under $4,000 bond. Dr. Horace Nj.
Brown and Arthur n. McGeoch certi-
fed as sureties and Mr.. Bigelow was re-
leased. The next federal grand jury
has not yet been summoned, but it is
expected it will meet some time next
month.
In addressing his fellow directors at
the meeting President Bigelow said he
had a painful statement to make-a
confession that he had misdirected the
funds of the bank and that an exanaina-
ton of his books and d comparison of
figures would show that he was in
debted to the bank to the amount of
fully 81, 450 coo. This money, he said,
had been lost in speculation in wheat
and stocks Not dollar of it could be
recovered and the only sums he could
offer toward recOmpensating the bank
were personal securities valued at ap-
proximately $500 900.
In making his statement to the direc-
tors of the bank Mr. BigeloW said he
had become involved in speculation sew
eral months ago. This was on Wall
street. More recently he had been a
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 defalcations until his
shortage had reached the present stage.
He saw no opportunity or possibility of
making up the amount and therefore
confessed.
Meeting Was Stormy.
Tt is stated that the meeting of the
directors which was almost continuous
for So hours. was stormy It times. Sew
ing the interests of the bank. One was
to accept the resignation of the presi-
dent, permit him to go to Europe and
the directors make good the amount of
his shortage. This would effectually
protect the bank. The proposal met with
determined opposition from directors
who demanded that the defaulter be
punished. The plan to make up the
shortage was then approved. Bigelow
was removed from the presidency of
the bank and the case was referred to
the federal authorities.
When the federal marshal called at
the Bigelcw residence to serve the war
rant the ex-bank president was in the
library with his wife. Mrs. Bigelow re-
fused to withdraw and the warrant was
read in her presence.
I'll be ready to go with you at once. %
said the banker. Then he kissed his
wife an affectionate farewell and left
with the officer the two walking to
the federal building, where court COM
missioner was in waiting None of Mr..
Bigelow's friends was in the court room
during the brief proceedings.
