One of the leading commercial mag mates in New York said the other day:
 Every month there is poured into Wall people throughout the country who are anxious to pick up a little something for nothing on a quick gamble.

By Associated Press.
BOSTON, June ia robbery inv olv-
ing the loss of S120,O0O in securities by
Henry w. Comstock of Boston, which
occurred on board the steamer Puritan
during her trip from New York to Fall
river last night, was reported to the
police authorities of this city today. The
securities, which included 90 certificates
of stock of various railroads and of the
United States Steel corporation, were
taken from under pillow in Mr.. Com
stocks stateroom by some one who, it
is believed, had climbed through
window.
The securities were received by Mr..
Comstock in business transaction at
New York hotel on Saturday. and it
is suspected that some one who wit
messed the incident followed the man on
board the boat and then committed the
robbery.
Shortly after Mr.. Comstock had
reached this city he received a tele-
phone message from New York telling
him that he could regain the lost prop

FORT MONROE. Va, June 12.-Up
to o'clock this morning Admiral Dick
ins has made no attack on Fort Mon
roe and nothing concerning the move
ments of his fleet during the eleven
hours is known here. Conditions are
favorable to him, as rain has been
steadily falling since shortly before
dark, and in consequence the search
light at the fort and its outlying sta
tions are less effective than they would
be In clear weather.
Just before daylight a small craft was
discovered by a searchlight which at
first was taken to be a destroyer maxi
ing observations of the positions of the
lights. Closer scrutiny showed the
craft to be fishing boat. This con-
stituted the only reward of the nights
work.
The practice of the searchlights was
declared to be most satisfactory. Their
range however, is far short of the
twelve miles channel available to Ad-
miral Dickins, and the supposition is
that he could have run the capes and
proceeded to washington and Balti-
more from the ocean unobserved If he
had so elected.

numerous terms in local jails, was de-
tected while shoplifting today, but be-
fore he could be turned over to the
police he took poison that caused his
death within a short time. His body
was taken to the morgue.
Roberts was caught taking a package
Of playing cards in a local stationery
store. He was seen by one of the
employees of the store to place the
cards in a specially constructed box
carried under his arm.
When charged of the theft Roberts
admitted the crime but said that he
preferred death to arrest and would
commit suicide if an officer was called.
When a policeman was sent for
Roberts carried out his threat and
clerks who grappled with him could
not prevent his taking a portion of the
contents of a bottle of morphine.
Roberts became unconscious before an
ambulance from the Harbor emergency
hospital arrived and died when placed
upon the operating table.

CLEVELAND HITS INSURANCE

EQUITABLE NOT THE ONLY ONE
Former President Says That Misuse

Of Stealing
Ry Associated Press.

t5y Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The organi-
cation of the largest trust company
in the United States and one of the
largest financial institutions of the
world was said today to be a part oi
the plan of Thomas Ryan In negotiat-
ing the purchase of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance society held
by James Hyde.
Mr.. Ryan's plan was reported to-
day to be to consolidate the Equitable
Trust company, the Mercantile Trust
company and the Morton Trust COM
pany, all Of this city, with the last
named in control. 1t is expected that
this would result in creating finan-
only to those of the National City
bank of New York, which has depos-
its of S1S5 100000. The deposits of the
proposed consolidated trust company
would amount to $169 900; the cap
ital stock to $1,000, 900 and the surplus
to $22 2OOO,OOO
Former President Cleveland has
written a letter to Thomas F. Ryan
concerning the trusteeship of the stock
OF the Equitable, which he accepts
The letter was made public today and
Is as follows:
after little reflection have deter
mined I ought to accept this service
I assume this duty upon the express
condition that, so far as the trus-
tees are to be vested with discretion
IN the selection of directors, they are
to be absolutely free and undisturbed
in the exercise of their judgment; and
that so far as they are to act formally
iE voting for the directors conceded
to policy holders, a fair and undoubted
expression of policy holding choice
will be forthcoming.
while the hope that I might aid in
improving the plight of the Equitable
society has led me to accept the trus-
teeship you tender, cannot rid myself
of the belief that what has overtaken
this company is liable to happen 70
other insurance companies and f1duci-
ary organizations as long as lax ideas
of responsibility in places Of trust are
tolerated by our people. The high
pressure of speculation, the madness
of inordinate business scheming and
the chances taken in new and uncer-
tain enterprises are constantly-present
temptations, too often successful in
leading managers and directors away
from scrupulous loyalty and fidelity
to the. interests of others confided to
their care.
1--WE can better afford to slacken our
pace than to abandon our old, simple
standards of honesty; and we shall be
safer If we regain our old habit o.
looking at the appropriation to personal
uses of property and interests held IN
trust in the same light as other forms
of stealing.
