WIFE HEARS THE WARRANT READ
Pathetic Scene in the Life of Heightened
Bank 1hief.


Bank 1hief.
In making his statement to the di-
rectOrs of the bank Bigelow said he
had become involved in speculation
several months ago. This was on Wall
street. More recently he had been a
persistent bull in the wheat market,
and recent loss there had added to
heavy reverses on Wall street. From
small manipulatonso Of the banks funds
he had extended the defalcatiOns until
his shortage had reached the present
stage. AT the meeting of the direc-
tors several plans were suggested for
protecting the interests of the bank.
One was to accept the resignation Of
the president, permit him to 60 to Eu-
rope, and the directors make good the
amount Of his shortage. The proposal
met with determined opposition from
directors who demanded that the de-
faulter be punished. The plan to make
up the shortage was then approved
When the federal marshal called at
the Bigelow residence to serve the
warrant the eX-bank president was in
the library with his wife. Mrs. Bigelow
refused to withdraw, and the warrant
was read in her presence. "rll be ready
to go with you at once," said the bank
er. Then he kissed his wife an affec-
tomato farewell and left with the Of
ficers, the two walking to the federal
building, where a court commissioner
was in waiting. None of Bigelows
friends was in the court room during
the brief proceedings.
When the resolution was adopted re-
moving Bigelow from the presidency
Of the bank, Henry G. Coll, assistant
cashier, was also removed. The re-
moval of the assistant cashier was due
to the statement of President Bigelow
that he was aided by Coll in conceal
Ing the shortage in the banks accounts.
The method adopted was an old one.
Collection accounts were manipulated
to the extent of 40 and in some in
stances so per cent, to make it appear
that the reserve fund was intact, and
the amount Of the increased collection
fund was diverted to special stock op-
erations. The reserve maintained in
eastern banks was tempered with, the
books Of the First National being fixed
so that the reserve appeared to be
larger by several hundreds of thou
sands of dollars than it really was.
These things were so cleverly per-
formed that those whose duty it was
to examine the banks affairs were un-
able to discover anything wrong. In
the falsifying Of records and the man
ipulation of the reserves Bigelow de-
Clares he was aided by Assistant Cash
Ter Coll and two bookkeepers in the
bank. These bookkeepers acted on the
Urders of Bigelow, but they have
neither been discharged nor suspend.
ed, and they will be called as wit.

The Most Rev. Archbishop
Performs Ceremony Before

st. Mary's Cathedral was crowed
last night and a large part Of the con-
gregation was composed Of the Knights
of Columbus and the Immaculate Con-
ception Sodality. Archbishop Rfordan

mony of blessing and unwilling two
beautiful. pure while marble statues,
one OF the Blessed Virgin on the right
of the main altar and the other of St
Joseph to the left.
Both statues were surrounded with
Gala and Bermuda lilies and innum-
erable lights. The Very Rev. Father
Prendergast, vicar general, was cele-
brant at vespers and the Very Rev.
Father Charles Ramm and Rev. Father
j. w. Sullivan were the deacons, the
attendants of honor with the Arch
bishop being the Rev. Father Cantweli
and Rev. Father OConnell

he blessed and unveiled the statue of
st. Joseph.
His grace then delivered an address.
beginning by thanking the two organ
izations for the beautiful gifts. He said
that in some quarters it has been said
that Catholics divided their worship of
God and statues, and said he thought
those who made such statements must
know better. In the walls of homes
they have pictures Of friends. of
heroes, and of those near and dear to
them. Then why should they not have
in the church, in fresco, In statue and
in painting, the image of the blessed
Lord and the Virgin Mary.
His grace said that Catholics be-
lieved in having beautiful churches. It
was sign of the Catholic heart to see
its church the most beautiful In the
parish.
The Catholic church. said the Arch
bishop. was where the ever living
Savior dwelt and should they not
place upon Its altars the statues of
their saints, of their Lord and the Holy
Mother who gave Christ to them7
He spoke of the humble shelterfnx of
Jesus, Joseph and Mary, and there In
that little family, he said. was the en-
tire church.
AT the close Of the service the big
congregation filed before the statues,
which are wonderfully beautiful They
were chosen by Archbishop Riordan
when he was in the East.

Drunken Debauch of Quartet
of Alamedans Ends in the
Sudden Demise of One Man
BROTHER ALSO SUFFERS

ALAMEDA, March 1s.-Excessive
drinking of alcoholic liquors and eating
of tainted CLAIMS are supposed to have
been the cause of the sudden death of
William G. Carey, who expired in
frightful agony this afternoon in the
and Mound streets. Carey was stricken
with excruciating stomach pains and
suffered for almost an hour before
death relieved him His brother.
Thomas Carey, was taken with convul-
sions about the same time, but the lat
ter's dangerous condition yielded to
treatment by Dr. Maurice w. Brown.
who was summoned to attend both
men. William C. Carey was dead when
the physician arrived.
With William Tully and Henry Ca
rey. their cousin, the Carey brothers
had been drinking and dissipating for
some time. When the supply OF pro-
visions in the Carey shanty ran short
the revelers obtained a quantity Of
CLAIMS, which were carelessly cooked
and partaken Of by the men. Remains
of clans in a tainted condition were
found in the Carey house by Deputy
Coroner H. c. Gallagher. DR.. Brown
was unable to determine the cause Of
Carey's demise and an. autopsy and In

MUST
AID new HOME
Archbishop Directs Pastors
to Donate Money Raised
in 1907 to Asylum Fund

During the year 1907 all the Catholic
churches in the archdiocese of San
Francisco will turn over every cent of
money they derive from church fairs
or entertainments to the fund of the
erected under supervision of the Arch
bishop. This was the order read yes
terday from the affairs Of all the
churches in the archdiocese.
The communication comes direct from
Archbishop Riordan and it was sent
at this early date so that the pastors
of the various churches might receive
the word in time and not plan to hold
any fairs, bazaars or entertainments
for the benefit of their respective
churches. The order will be lived up
to strictly to the letter.
This means that an immense amount
of money will be raised by the various
churches for the good cause. There are
fairs, bazaars and entertainments be-
ing held almost daily In the different
churches of the archdiocese and when
the funds derived from these sources
during a whole year are turned over to
Archbishop Riordan 1t can easily be
imagined what a handsome sum will
be realized.
In his communication, the Arch
bishop did not specify that the pastors
give entertainments for the benefit of
the new orphanage. He left this to
the discretion and generosity of his
subordinates. But it is expected that
as many If not more money raising
events will be held that the sum may
be made as great as possible.
It has long been the desire of Arch
bishop Riordan to erect a great orphan
asylIlm that will be second To none in
the West. The undertaking will entail
an enormous outlay and the head of
the archdiocese has been figuring for
a long time on how the money could
be raised. The perplexing question
has not been entirely solved, but the
order which was yesterday issued will
do much toward starting the fund
and giving the Archbishop handsome
amount for the worthy undertaking.

BATTLE
AGAINST SIN
Thousands Attend Last Ser
vices of the Great Re-
vival Meetings in Oakland
CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL
After Two Weeks Fighting
Good Fellowship Session
Will Conclude It's Work

OAKLAND, March 1S.-The cam
paign against sin which for the tpast
two weeks has been waged in Oakland
will go on, but the great revival meet
ings ended to-day.
Thousands of people crowded the
churches to attend the last services of
the revival. Never before has this city
been so stirred with religious fervor,
and the great work Of the evangelists
has led hundreds to forsake the path
of vice. In every church in the city
were heard expressions of regret that
the work of DR. Chapman and his as
sociates was ended. and many ex-
pressed the hope that they might
again visit Oakland, where they have
accomplished SO much good.
The services began this morning with
decision. day meetings in the Sunday
schools. These services were followed
at IL O'Clock by the regular morning
services In the churches, conducted by
the local pastors. -Four great meetings
were held by the evangelists In the aft
ernoon.
One, Of the most dramatic incidents
of the great campaign took place at one
of the evening meetings at the First
Congregational Church during one Of
DR.. Cfapman's. services. A man en-
tered the church and walked down the
aisle calling down curses upon the
evangelist and profaning the Christian
church. He was approached by J. L.
McComb, known as the "open-air
evangelist" who quietly led him from
the church to the chapel, and there
plead with the sinner to give up the
life he was leading. The man was at
first obdurate, finally listened to the
words of the evangelist and at last,
overcome by the pleadings Of Mr.. Nc
Comb, burst into tears and begged that
he be forgiven for his actions.
The last meeting of the evangelists
will be held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock This will be a good-fellowship
meeting and with 1t will close Oak
lands great campaign.
