STORY Is TOLD BY The
MAN WHO WAS JANiTOs
implicated One Who Is Now Dead
and Who Was Formerly
Millionaire,
ROBBERY RAFFLEo PINkERToNs
Gave Practical Illustration of How He
Hid in the Safe and Looted
the Bank.

Lima, o., Oct. 16.-The mystery sur.
rounding the robbery several years
ago Of the American National bank
here OF $4,000 was cleared up today
by the confession of Elijah Bowsher,
formerly janitor of the Faurot Opera
house block in which the institution
was located. Bowsher and Thomas
Wilkins, real estate agent were in
dicted by the grand jury last week
for the robbery and today Bowsher
exonerated Wilkins but implicated Ben
jamin c. Faurot, formerly a million
iare and president of the old Lima
National bank. Faurot died III San
dusky a year ago, practically pennl-
less.
The robbery of the American banR
defied the work of the Pinkertons and
dozen other detective bureaus. AS
none of the vault doors. locks or time
locks were damaged the theory was
that Cashier Kalb and Vice Presideu
Michael knew something OF the crime
Michael was indicted two years
later, but believing he could gain
stronger evidence against him, Prose.
cutor Klinger nolled the indictment to
gain time.
Today Bowsher confessed to Prose-
cutor Klinger that he robbed the bank
and that Faurot held the stolen money
for him. He declares that he hid IN
the safe, was locked in and after the
bank force left for the night made his
way out.
Bowsher was accompanied to the
bank vault this evening by the prose
cutting attorney and eight minutes
after being locked in he mad unlocked
the vault doors and freed himself. His
story is now believed by almost every
body.

THE POST EXCHANGE
EARNEsTLY RECOMMENDED BY
GEN. BARRY.
Army OFFICER Who Favors the
Restoration OF the Csnteen.
HE Reasons.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 16.-In his
annual report, just received by the war
department, Brigadier General Thomas
H. Barry, commanding the department
of the gulf, follows the other depart
ment commanders in making an urgent
recommendation made by him year
ago that the discipline and content
ment of the enlisted men would be
greatly increased were the post ex-
change fully established with the priv
ilege of selling beer and light wines.
The denial Of this privilege, says Gen.
Barry, led to the killing Of one enlist
ed man in his command.
Gen. Barry reports that marvellous
results have been obtained BY the artil-
lery troops in his department in their
practice with big guns. He thinks, and
80 recommends, that the pay Of the en-
listed men of the artillery should be In
creased With regard to the promo
tion of officers to be brigadier generals,
Gen. Barry says:
"The policy has been announced of
not considering for appointment as
DTlSdulST BtutTdl tuOSe OluCclS WIZ oi Z
eligible for retirement In, that grade
by reason Of service in the civil war.
This wise policy will gain for those de-
serving war veterans the promotion or
retirement to which their long service
fits them and will make eligible for pro-
motion to the grade of general officers
those who are in the prime of life and
who can give several years service to
the country"

EXODUS OF BOYS
When New Law Went Into Effect IN
Anthracite Region.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 16.-The new
law forbidding the employment of
breaker boys under IA years of age in
the breakers and outside the anthra-
cite mines and boys under IL inside the
mines went into effect today and was
marked by the exodus of large numbers
Of boys from the breakers and a few
from the mines who obtained places in
the breakers.
1t will be some days before the mine
workers leaders are able to say how
well the law is being observed, as in
cases where there is doubt as to, the
ages of the boys they must obtain GER
tifcates showing that they are the re-
quired age and can read English at
sight and write it legibly.
Many of the boys have not made any
effort to obtain such certificates. The
law will not be rigidly enforced until
after reasonable time has elapsed.
1t is estimated, as a result of recent
Investigations, that of the $4,000 break
er boys about half are between the
ages of 10 and Ia years, and will have
to leave the breakers. Most of the boys
will go INTO the schools, and this causes
the directors of some townships, where
the accommodations are now taxed,
much embarrassment.

WIFE AND CHILDREN BEGGED
HIM TO STOP.
But Anton Peterling Said He Had a
Message From Heaven to
Mutiiate His Body.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 16.-While his
wife and children, on bended knees,
begged him to stop, Anton Peterling
cut himself to strips today because he
said he had been ordered by heaven to
mutilate his body and bleed to death.
He slashed his throat, face and arms
with dirk until his clothes were
soaked with blood. His face, arms and
breast show the terrible effects OF his
frenzy. There is hardly a piece of skin
visible on the left forearm. Policemen
arrived in time to prevent him from
bleeding to death. If Peterling lives he
will be sent to an asylum.

John has not been captured.

FEDERAL CONTROL
Of Insurance a Question for the Fut,

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 16.-In an inter
view, dictated today at his home in
Dubuque, Senator William B. Allison,
who has sat longer in the United
States senate than any other man,
gave his views of public questions gen.
orally.
Regarding the presidential candidacy
Of Secretary Shaw, he said:
His services have brought him into
prominence as one of the men who
ought to be considered for that exalted
Office. If Secretary Shaw should be-
come a candidate, with reasonable sup
port in other states, the state of Iowa
should be glad to bring forward his
name"
The tariff question will not be
touched upon, in his opinion, at the
next session of congress. Some meas
ure, however, he believes will be passed
embodying in general way the Pres
ident's views on railroad rates. Fed
eral control Of insurance, he says, will
be left for the future.
