JUDGE FLAYS EQUITABLE
IN GIVING A SENTENCE
Clerk Who Stole Insurance Policy sert
to Elmira, After Comment on
eBungling Methods"

New York, July 13.-Emil II. Neumer,
young Equitable Life Assurance So
eiety clerk, indicted with Samuel Lobley,
Jr., another Equitable clerk, and the
latter's uncle, Samuel Lobley, now serv-
ing a sentence in Sing Sing for the
same otlense, was yesterday sentenced
TO the Elmira reformatory for compile
ity in the robbery OF the Equitable of
$4,000 BY means of q stolen policy
upon which the elder Lobley borrowed
$4,000 Young Neumer's part in the
swindle was to abstract the policy from
the safe Of tile Equitable society.
In sentencing the youthful prisoner,
Judge Noster took occasion To COM
ment on certain phases Of the recent
scandal in the Equitable BY comparing
Neumer's crime with methods By which
the Equitable has been robbed by men
higher UP. The Judge said:
'You stole from the Equitable, but
yom methods were very crude and bung-
ling. II you had, instead Of collision
with an outsider, colluded with an I'M
slider and thereby had your salary raised
to $4,000 and then divided with the
other men, the result would not have
been a bit more Objectionable from a
moral or ethical standpoint, and would
have been no more hurtful to the poll
icy holders; but possibly you would
not have been at the bar Of justice"

Of Late Visit Of Squadron.

Paris, July 81 Former Foreign Min
lister Deleasse, in the course of an in.
terview published BY the Gaulois yes
terday upon the British and French ma
val amenities at Brest, was induced to
discuss his general policy relative to
Great Britain and Germany. He said.
"Ihe policy Of nations nowadays IS
not based on sentiment or antipathv,
but upon their material interests. As
between Germany and Great Britain our
commercial balance shows where our I'M
terests lie. Great Britain Is our best
purchaser while Germany buys almost
nothing Of us and tries to sell Us all
she can. Moreover, it Is evident that
we could not leave open irritating con-
troversies with Great Britain which
might precipitate an armed struggle, fol
Great Britain holds indisputably the
empire Of the seas. For every warship
We build she builds four or FIVE. 1t Is
therefore well to accept these manifest
facts, and consider the value which Brit.
ish cooperation would give us in Ger.
ltain eyentualities. The greatest intrin-
SIC value of such cooperation would be
the virtual impossibility in which it
would place Germany Of making war
upon us.

Morocco as being serious. He replied
Not at all. In case of war Great
Britain would be surely with us against

.MILL STONE HILL
North Side Was Originally Known as
stallion Hill"


Editor Times: Owing to an extract
from my letter sent you on April sth,
1905, on the subject of the early granite
industry in Barre, which appeared in
Sound Finance, a monthly magazine
printed in Boston, for june, feel con-
strained to write that l omitted to
fully state in that letter what 1 sun
posed everyone knew as well as /, that
originally the west side Of what IS now
known as Milestone Hill only, was known
as such, the north side at an early dav
being known as Stallion Hill owing to
the blooded horses owned there on the
Abbott homestead by my father before
my remembrance.
When / wrote before, l supposed it
had always been generally known that
the first granite taken from what Is
now known as Milestone Hill was from
the west side Of the hill above what
was then known as Days pasture, and
was for millstones for both New England
and Canada, which is what gave that To-
cality only, originally the name of Mill
stone Hill. Recently, however, the name
very appropriately has been applied to
the whole mountain.
In stating in my etter Of April S,
that the Abbott Harrington quarries
were the first opened on Stallion Hill,
/ did not intend to include the west
side Of what was then known as Mill
stone Hill as from there the millstones
before mentioned we're taken and was
the first granite shipped to distant
points from what is now known as
whole as Milestone Hill. About ST.
simultaneously, however, granite was used
Tor neighborhood and other purposes
from the Abbott Harrington quarries.
Yours truly,
