1oND THIEF ARRESTED.
NEW YORK BROKERS' CLERK RE.
bPoNs,RLE FOR RECENT SIG
LOSS OF SECURITIES.
ACT NOT DONE WITH CRIMINAL INTENT
SIMPLY WANTED TO SHOW HOW
EASILY THE SCHEME COULD
BE CARRIED OUT.

New York, Oct. 3.-Henry A. Leon
Ard, who was employed by Halle &
Stieglitz, a prominent firm of brokers,
rs a clerk, made confession during
! the day that it was he who robbed the
National City bank of securities worth
e359,000. Leonard had been for sew
eral years a trusted employee of Halle
y Stieglitz and lived quietly with his
mother, in Harlem. He is about twen-
ty-hve years old.
Leonard told the police that he con-
three Or 1our months ago and had
been planning during that time to exc
cute it and show how easy such a
i scheme could be practiced on the
banks of New York. On Sept. &c he
said he found four blank checks on
the Hanover National bank. That was
in the forenoon. Later on the same
day, he said, he was in the corridor
OF the National City bank and among
the men waiting in line he saw a man
holding in his hand an envelope
marked 100000 ~ per cent on the
envelope. He said he heard the loan
clerk tell the messenger that the in
terest was AZ per cent not ~ per
cent Then, he said, the messenger
ty-tive years old and has been regard
ed by his employers and by his
friends as a model of propriety and
honesty. His position was one of re-
sponsibility and trust.
Securities Easily Secured.
Leonard then had his cue and went
to the BoWery and there ordered a
rubber certifcation stamp, but before
doing SO he cut out the certifcation Of
an old check, from which the stamp
was to be copied. After he secured
the stamp he filled out the body of the
check drawn on the Hanover National
bank. Then he said he went to Wall
street and hailed passing boy and
asked him if he knew where the Ma
tional City bank was. The boy said
be did not. Leonard said he told him
to take this check to No. 81 Wall
-
Leonard meanwhile stood opposite the
customhouse and saw the boy take the
package end come out with the securi-
ties. Leonard said he took the securi-
ties to his home and with no delay
put them in a wrapper, affixed the
necessary stamp and took them to
mail box in the neighborhood of West
Ninety-second street and mailed them
to Dyer Pearl, who is a member of
the firm that owned the securities.
There were, however, only 100000
worth Of securities in the package,
which was received safely the next
day by Mr.. Pearl. There were $4,000
worth Of securities missing and Leon
ard explained that by saying that to
have enclosed them all in a package
by mail would have made the package
too bulky and he therefore kept them
out and only mailed 100000 worth.
In this connection 1t was noted by the
police that only about $4,000 worth
Of the securities were negotiable.

War on Patent Medicines

War on Patent Medicines
GOLFERS WEEKLY has joined
the Ladies Home Journal in a
crusade on patent medicines The
current issue of Golfers contains
two pages profusely and >trik

showing up the evils of all pro
prietarv medicines. Both maya
zines claim that their opposition
is based on the fact that ali
patent medicines contain more or
less alcohol and on this account
they refuse to accept patent
medicine advertise ments. An
editorial explanation If this fact
appeared in Golfers of about two
weeks ago and in the same issue
was printed a damboyant Whiskey
advertisement. It. IS highly
proba BILE that some patent medi-
cines contain hurtful ingredients
and it is certain that many of
them are made up Of mostly
colored water; nevertheless there
are many whose value has be.

will doubtless profit from the war
that is being waged upon them.
Meanwhile the people will keep

A Work of Great Value.

The state Typographical drain
age survey, now under way, and
to pe completed within the next
few months at a total cost not to
exceed $15, 900, will be the most
important step ever taken in this
state in furtl1erance of drainage.
The survey will show exactly
what is necessary to be done, will
Indicate the cost of the work and
will demonstrate the profit that
the state will reap from it. It
will be the cost powerful argu-
ment ever made in behalf of
drainage and we believe that it
will result in the states adopt
ing a comprehensive system Of
drainage which will within the
next few years entirely solve the
drainage problem and add
enormously to the tillable lands
and so indirectly to the popula-
ton and development of the
state.
