CLERK UNDER ARREST.
EmpIoye of Des Moines National Al
Ieued EmbezzTer.

Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Carl N. Spenc-
er, former cashier, and later head OF
the collection department or the Des
Moines National bank, was arrested
yesterday, charged with embezzling
SO, 400. He was a trusted employe OF
the institution for years. 1t had been
reported in banking circles that the
shortage would exceed $175OO, but
President Reynolds declares it will
not reach $4,000. Spencer has con-
fessed to the defalcation.
His arrest is attended by pathetic
circumstances. A large share of the
shortage is claimed to have been
spent to secure medical attendance
for an S-year-old son who was para
lyzed' when but two years of age, and
that the first embellishments were
brought on by the need Of funds for
this purpose, Spencer's salary of 500
per month at the bank not being am
pie to supply the money.

FOREIGN POWERS ON WATCH.
Relations Between United States and
Venezuela Given Attention.

Paris, Jan. 22.-The relations of the
United States and Venezuela are re-
ceiving close attention at the Europ-
can chancellories, which are kept con-
stantly advised from Caracas. 1t Is
said that this is due to the desire of
the European countries to maintain
the same commercial rights at Ven
ezuelan ports as now exist. The last
, enezuelan controversy led to an
agreement of the powers to have Bel
gian officials administer the customs
at certain Venezuelan ports, and it is
not desired that the present contro-
versy shall lead to the displacement
of the Belgians and their possible re-
placement by Americans at the lead
ing Venezuelan PORTS. 1t is also de-
sired to maintain equality on tariff
rates for Europeans and Americans.
The idea prevails in high quarters that
the controversy may lead to the Euro
pean nations being placed at COM
mercial disadvantage

GUILTY OF ARSON.
w. G. Harvey and Wife Convicted In
Trial at Carroll

Carroll, Jan. 19.-The Harvey case,
in which the defendants were accused
Of setting fire to the hotel at Glidden,
where the Hobbs brothers were
burned to death, went to the jury at
noon yesterday and verdict of
guilty was returned last evening at
O'Clock. Saturday the defense made
motion that the case be taken from
the jury and verdict of acquittal be
rendered. The court took 1t under
advisement until Monday and the
motion was overruled.
Neither of the defendants in this
case is over % years of age. They
have been married a little more than
year. Harvey was born and raised
in Glidden and his wife came from
Dexter. For several months prior to
the fire the Harveys were in charge
of the City hotel at Glidden and at
the time 1t was consumed it was
rumored that Harvey and his wife set
the fire.
Many peculiar circumstances de-
veloped during the progress of the
trial. The state showed that the de-
PENDANTS had removed some boxes OF
household goods from the hotel a few
days prior to the fire ana had subse-
quently brought them to Carroll and
shipped them to Dexter. Thomas
Harvey and his wife came to Carroll
and took the train for Dexter, passing
through Glidden, and that when pass
ing through Glidden they tried to con-
ceal themselves; that the piano had
been removed previous to the fire;
that the property was insured for
$500 when it was worth only about
$500.
The sympathy Of the public was
with the defendants on account or
their age, for it did not seem posi-
bic that a couple so young in years
could carry out such a scheme.
