IN new YORK CITY.
SECURITIES VALUED AT $685. 900
STOLEN IN WALL STREET..

Loss.

New York, Sept. 2S.--Through the
carelessness of loan clerk, who ac-
cepted a forged check from a stranger
In pretended payment of a call loan,
one of the largest national banks in
the financial district has sustained at
least temporary loss of more than
$359,000. Stocks and bonds having a
market value to that amount are
somewhere in the possession of man
who perpetrated a swindle which was
clever In its execution, but is likely
to cause the thief no end of trouble
before he succeeds In turning his prof
its into cash.
On Wednesday AFTERNOON man
walked up to the loan window of big
downtown bank and called for the Sc
curities OF a certain 100000 loan which
the institution had made the day be-
fore to Pearl & Co.. a well knowL stock
exchange firm at q William street.
At the same time he presented check
for $500, ,037.50, and otherwise satisfied
the busy loan clerk that he was famil-
lar with the transactions and the firms
business.
The regularity of the transaction
was not doubted by the bank which
had made the loan until the check went
through the clearing house exchanges
this morning. 1t is customary in Wall
street to let call loans run unless no
tice Is received from the bank for the
borrower to pay the loan. to renew It

supplement the security, or give 1t
some other attention. Hence Pearl C
Co. learned nothing of the theft until
today. The bank on which the check
was drawn returned the check to the
bank which had accepted 1t, declaring
1t to be a forgery.
The name of the bank which will
bear the burden of the loss. and all
information as to the appearance of
the man who got the securities is being
withheld.
This is list of the securities, with
their present market value:

A LAOY'S MAN
FOR LONG TIME, PREACHER WAN
AMAKER SAYS HE HAS BEEN
Escorted Woman Home Many, Many
Times, But That 10 Not Business
Of the Church.

= Elyria, o.. Sept. 28.-Because the
public has taken what he considers an
improper interest In his domestic af-
fairs, because 1t has linked over the tea
cups his name with that of woman
member Of his congregation, Rev. Hen
ry s. Wanamaker. pastor of the Sec
ond Congregational church, says he
will satisfy the public's curiosity to
surfeiting by renting the opera house
Sunday and explaining his troubles
with his wife. Wanamaker created a
sensation last Monday night by calling
a meeting of the congregation, and.
with his wife present. explained that
he and his life companion could not
agree and that they had decided to
separate.
The wife the next day filed suit for
divorce. Since then the scandal has
been common talk, and the name of
Mrs. Fulton, young widow. has been
brought into the discussion in such a
manner as to make statement by the
Rev. Mr.. Wanamaker imperative.
Tonight the Rev. Wanamaker said:
II have always been lady's man, and
of late | have escorted Mrs. Fulton
home, possibly a great many times In
the past seven years. likely 1t was a
very great many times. But the church
council will not have anything to do
with that 1t is purely private mat
ter. My wife and talked over the di-
vorce, and agreed to let her do as she
pleased"

Of Flatiron 5uilding.
New York, Sept. 2S.-Clinging like a
fly to the surface Of the Flatiron Build
ing. John Garrick Of Brooklyn. q
steeple-jack, walked down the side of
the building from the twentieth story
to the street and up again several times
today, while thousands below stood
trembling at the daring feat.
Women tainted from the strain on
their nerves; men turned white, while
Garrick, as unconcerned as though
strolling along the street. was rapidly
ascending and descending, stopping to
pose for his photograph. clinging all
the while to the sheer wall with his
fingers and toes in the inch and a quar-
ter deep groves that indent the build
ing's service. And all to earn a 81 bet!
Garrick did not touch q window sill
save to leave or enter a window. His
hair-raising performance Is unequalled
in daring in the annals Of steeple-jack
work.
The Flatiron Building is 2S6 feet
high, and the window through which
Garrick made his first appearance Is
270 feet from the ground.

A TEXAS TRAGEDY
THAT rs LIKELY TO RESULT IN A
LYNCHlNG.
Mother and Daughter Outraged and
Murdered-WhoIe Population
Searching For Perpetrators


Edna, Tex, Sept. 28.-A most horri-
BILE tragedy was enacted this afternoon
at the home of A. J. Condit, living a
mile and a half from town. Tonight
the whole population of Jackson coun-
ty is searching for the perpetrator Of
the crime, and as soon as they are
caught there will be burning. The
victims were Mrs. Condit, her daugh-
ter, aged 13, and her three sons, 6, 8
and 10 years old. All of them had
their heads beaten In and their throats
cut with razor or sharp knife. A
baby boy of two years was the only
one left alive. Condit was away from
home working in the rice field.
The bodies of the mother and daugh-
ter showed that they had been out
ragged. A negro boy of IL was working
in a field near the house when he
heard the children screaming and saw
Mrs. Condit running, with a man after
her. The boy was afraid to 60 to the
house and ran to neighbor's to give
the alarm. When the neghbors arrived
the woman and girl were found in the
house. the three little boys about 100
yards away, all dead. The baby was
crying near its mother. The blood was
all fresh and showed that the crime
was of recent occurrence.
1t Is the opinion OF the physicians
that the woman and girl we're struck
down, the boys run down and mur-
dered and that afterward the throats
of the women were cut. The alarm
was given and the town closed up,
while the male population took up the
search.
Wires have been sent to the peni-
tentiary guards for dogs. and they are
coming ON an early morning train.

NEVER BREAK CONTRACT
Says Grand Chief Of Brotherhood o:
Locomotive Engineers.

Lincoln, Neb.. Sept. 28.-The annual
convention for the middle western
states of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers began two days ses-
sion In this city today. Gov. Mickey
Of Nebraska welcomed the delegates.
Discussions of Brotherhood Facts" by
Grand Chief Warren Stone of Cleve-
land followed. He said: There should
be fair and impartial discussions OF
differences between labor and capital.
and the matter should be submitted to
arbitration when the organization and
employers cannot agree.
Labor organizations must never
break contract. When one Is made
1t should be lived up to with fidelity.
If employer and employe would come
face to face and calmly discuss mat
ters mutually, labor troubles would
disappear. They come largely through
misunderstandings."

to loan of s1,O0O,000 made by the
New York Life on Nov. ss. 1908. to the
New York Surety & Trust Co.
Five and one-half per cent was paid
by the trust company for the loan.
Mr.. Hughes showed from the records
of the New York Life that the loan
had been paid back the very next day,
or on Nov. "a, 1908.
What Is the meaning of this?" said
Mr.. Hughes.
81 give 1t up; don't know" said Mr..
Perkins
Something of a sensation was caused
when Mr.. Perkins, who is a partner Of
], P. Morgan, refused to produce the
books of Morgan & Co.. which, he said,
contained an entry of the purchase of
$4000,O0O worth of bonds of the st.
Louis Terminal railroad.
Mr.. Hughes had been questioning Mr..
Perkins for some time regarding the
St. LOUIS Terminal transactions and
had found that, although Morgan & Co.
had agreed to deliver the s4.000.00O in
bonds before stated time, other bonds
had been delivered in their stead.
Suppose you had suddenly died.
what would J. p. Morgan G Co. have
to show that they were bound to de-
liver $4,000. 900 St. Louis Terminal?"'
asked Mr. Hughes.
They would have had the memoran-
the bonds should have been sold at that
price"
"Then there would be that memo

"At the time of the purchase on Sept.
8, or some time thereabouts."

duced."
"No. sir: not the book; but I will
bring you the entry item from the
book. You mean J. P. Morgan G Co.'s
book?"
"Yes."
well. I will bring you the entry
from that book"
81 want the book showing that en-
try produced"
well. can't say as to that, Mr..
Hughes"
well. we will have to require the
production of it,
VERY well; that we can take up
later"
1t is known that Mr.. Perkins. as a
representative of j.. p. Morgan G Co..
will fight against bringing the books
into the committee room. The opinion
expressed tonight is that the commit
tee will take a short cut to get the
books by calling Morgan as a witness
and then demanding the books of him.
Revelations of surprising nature
were brought forth from the testimony
of Henry Greayes, a clerk in the en-
ploy of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. the first witness today.
Counsel Hughes forced the witness
to admit that bank book containing
the George II. Squire trustee account
was missing and could not be traced by
expert accountants now at work on the
books of the society. With the disap-
pearance of this bank book all traces
of trust fund of $62,770.S1 has also
been lost.
Although the witness, when on the
stand yesterday, answered every ques-
ton put to him without hesitation, Mr..
Hughes had hard work today to get
from him the information he desired
