ATTORNEY FIELDS
FINALLY CAUGHT
IN CHATHAM, n. Y.
Man Accused of Embezzling
$4,000 Spotted by Detective, and Will
Be Brought Here by Tyser Tonight.

Personal acquaintance with Detective
Tyser and his habitual practice of car
rying a cane, resulted in the capture or
Attorney Thomas NJ. Fields, in Chat
ham. n. Y, and he is now on his way
to Washington. Here he will have TO
stand trial on charges of forgery and
embezziement, it icing alleged that he
r1isappropriated $4,000 of the funds of
the Washington Endowment Associa-
ton, for which he was receiver.
Captain Boardman today received the
following dispatch from Detective Ty-
ser: "Wiu leave Chatham with Thomas
Fields at 9 O'Clock this morning. Prob
ably arrive tonight" The dispatch tends
to indicate that Fields did not fight
extradition or demand a preliminary
hearing in New York State.
Accer ltng TO the police, Fields, law
yer, forty years old, was appointed as
one of the ereeivers for the Washington
Endowment Association and handled
large sums OF money. It is intimated
that between January and June 1904,
he forged the names of prominent OFF,
ciaIs of the organization and thereby
got possession OF large amounts. It is
also alleged that moneys which came
into his hands from time to time from
outside sources and the members Of the
association We're never put to their
proper use, but pocketed bv Fields
Known as a "Jo1ly Good Fellow"
The man under arrest long since
earned for himself the sobriquet of
'jolly good fellow" To maintain his
reputation as such an individual 1T was
necessary to have more money than he
could get legitimately and it is be-
lieved that this led him on. Speculation
on the stock market and women are
also believed to have lent their aid
toward bringing about his downfall.
Fields office in Washington was To-
Gated within a stones throw of Police
Headquarters and almost daily he came
in contact with the members Of Cap
tain Boardman' corps of detectives. He
was a good fellowb among them. and
his ALE ged defaleations were learned
OF with more surprise by the sleuths
than any other persons in the city.
Fields is said to have been an habitual
user of tr.fhAcco and intoxicants and
when he LETT Washington he usually
stopped at the best hotels in other
cities.

ceiver, that he had not appeared in his

at his home, and it was learned there
that he had not been seen since May 10

West This Evening.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Seth Bull
locks cowboys are doing New York to-
day. They arrived last night from the
National Capital. and when they had
rounded up their numbers at the Union
Square Hotel there were surprises on
all sides.
The ranchers from the West were sur
prised at the size of the settlement
and the citizens of New York were sur
prfsed at the cowboys, because they
did not lock like the pictures of cow
boys they had seen in the books,
but were good American citizens, plain,
unassuming and wide-awake men. They
took In New York and enjoyed it and
were not taken in themselves.
Most of them will leave for the West

HOPES FOR DEMOCRACY

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 1o-In an
interview given here. Col. William J.
Bryan says:
The question OF the hour is the ques-
tion of corporate wealth against the
people
"Will the Democratic party get upon
the right side of that question next
timeo" he was asked.
''Well.'' be replied with his inimitable
smile. 'it Is progressing and will
progress In that direction
at did not get on the right side last
time" was suggested In a tentative
way.

Bryan replied like flash. land you

he answered

continued President Roosevelt has
called attention to abuses OF the trusts,
and there is a wonderful educational
movement going on. These questions
are being discussed by the people as
they never were before. Those who talk
about these things now are not looked
upon as disturbers OF the peace, as they
were a few years ago. Statements
against the methods of Wall Street
which were considered almost anar-
chistic not far back, sound really mild

Oregon apples have commanded the
highest price ever paid for any apples
sold in the European market. This fact
is stated today by E. l.. Smith. of the
Oregon Development League, who has
lust received advice from London that
Hood River Pippins were selling there
for 22s sd per box, equivalent to IS 43.
At the same time lot of 1000 boxes of
Newton Pippins sent to Edinburgh,
Scotland, sold at 2)s per box, equivalent
to $4 SO, while apples grown in Scotland
wee selling at Is Sd per box.
These prices are equivae ent to abou'

NEED CASH.
Russia and Japan Both Seek Ex.
tensive Loans.

ST. Petersburg, March l7.-An in
ternal credit loan of 100000, 900 on
per cent credit basis is now being nego-
tiated by the Ministry of Finance. The
loan will be foated probably in short
time. The price of issuance has not
been determined. but probably will be
90 to 95. The Associated Press was in
formed at the Ministry that the issuance
o. this loan is entirely Independent Of
the French negotiations, which haye
not vet been concluded. Domestic
.ntes will be issued for long term
and will, as in the case of the internal
credit loan, not be subject to the obli-
cations of foreign loans. The payment
of the interest and principal will be in
gold and probably will be taxable.
The determination of the government
to turn to Russia itself for funds was
taken only recently. Yesterday the
Minister of Finance conferred with a
number OF the principal bankers OF St.
Petersburg and Russia generally, and
re oelved the assurance that the project
was feasible. The banks are prepared
to underwrite on suitable terms. The
Government Savings Bank, it is said,
will assume $25 100000 of The total, and
such banks as the Moscow Merchant,
Vo ga and the Kama banks are we'll
able to underwrite large portions of the
loan from their resources.
A director of a prominent bank said |
that thu banks of Russia could, if re-
luired, take the bonds aud hold them
n their own vaults. Questioned about
he price, he declared that SO would be
very cheap" but he said the condi-
ions on that point had not yet been de-
er mined.
Practically the loan is similar in
erms to the one issued last Fall, which
vas fully subscribed in half an hour.
