POWELL MAY
Be RECALLED
Special Dispatch to The Can

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The re-
call of Minister Powell may be made
necessary because of his report to the
State Department that revolution is
impending in Hayti and his request
that warship be sent there to protect
American interests. Minister Leger of
Hayti to-day sent letter to Acting
Secretary Adee, in which he repeated
his previous declarations that absolute
quiet prevails in Hayti and that no dis
turbances are expected. This was fol-
lowed by a formal memorandum in
which regret was politely expressed
that Minister Powell should advise the
department that revolution is threat
ened in the island. 1t was pointed out
that such utteranees are damaging, be-
cause they impair the ccuntry's f1nan-
cial standing and mitigate against it's
commercial interests. The Brooklyn has
not yet reached Guantanamo, and con-
sequently has not received her orders to
proceed to Port au Prince, 18G miles

CHURCH v ANTS
MORE FREEDOM

ST. PETERSBURG, April IA move
ment for severing the traditional rela-
tions between church and state and
giving to the Holy Orthodox church in
dependence and separate rule. which
will increase its influence among the
people of Russia, has found favor with
an important group of clergymen at
the capital. A noteworthy document
setting forth the views of those of this
persuasion, which was presented to the
Metropolitan Antonius of st. Peters
burg, has been received with sufficient
consideration to insure its publication
in the Church Messenger, the official
organ of the diocese of st. Petersburg
and one of the most important re-
ligious papers in the realm.
The document, after arguing that the
church should free itself of obligations
to the state in order to lend all its en-
ergies to the prosecution of its own
special work and eliminate the suspi-
cion that its ministrations may be
inclined toward worldly ends and in
terests. demands the summoning of a
general council of the church to con-
slider means of attaining the greater
freedom required.

INSANE WOMAN
DUPES WOOERS
special Dispatch to rhe can.

OMAHA, March 31.-Sixteen gold
rings, about 500 In money and much
valuable raiment is what Mrs. Edna
Kenton, an inmate of the Lincoln hos
pital for the insane secured through
the medium of Denver matrimonial
bureau and her promises to marry
more than a score of men. Pestoffiee
inspectors who have been investigating
the actions of the woman declare they
have found one of the strangest cases
in their experiences. Though clearly
insane, the woman has shown extraor-
dinary skill in letter writing and has
found host OF admirers in all parts of
the country. To all OF them she repre-
sented herself as dwelling lin a mag
pificent castle of stone and brick. sur
rounded by the most beautiful grounds
and abundant flowers with scores of
servants to attend and administer to
her every want. The description of her
castles tallies well with that of the hos
pital where she is confined. Finally one
of her jealous admirers, who is said to
have come all the way from California
to marry a beautiful heiress, reported
to the postoffice authorities how he had
been misled The fact of her insanity
saves her from being amenable to the
law.

BOLD ROBBER
ADMITS CRIMES

LOS ANGELES. March 81
Charles Patterson, who was arrested
in Bakersfield for highway robbery
committed in Los Angeles, was re-
turned to this city to-day. Under
oath. he made confessions of no less
than a dozen robberies.
With two companions, whose
names he gave, he held up and robbed
a gambling house east of the city,
more than a month ago, securing
nearly $500.
The following night the same gang
held up roadhouse east of the city
and robbed seven men, securing five
watches and about $40. He told of
several cases where single pedestrians
were robbed in this city. Near OK
nard, the trio held up five men. Then
they robbed a dairy and later the
same night held up the inmates of a
disorderly house, near Ventura, and
secured nearly 800.

be pause before the next move
occurs.
The diplomatists here generally be-
lieve that the negotiations, once be-
gun. will be conducted directly between
representatives of the warning coun-
tries. One very prominent diplomat,
however, expressed the opinion that all
the powers are likely to be drawn In
and that there might be a congress of
Berlin. He pointed out that the pow
ers interested commercially in China
were vitality concerned in safeguard
ing the open-door policy to which they
were pledged, and must be consulted
as to the future status of Manchuria
and collateral questions, such as the
possible Observation-Disclosures of the
Eastern Chinese Railroad, etc. He de-
sired 1t to be understood, however, that
he did not mean that the powers would
attempt to rob Japan of the fruits Of
victory. Such congress might be held
after Russia and Japan had concluded
peace.

Judge Conlan yesterday for the arrest
of w. E. Bamber. cashier for the COM
pany, on two charges of felony embez-
Element. The amounts named in the
complaints are $7S so on March 10 and
$5S on March II, but 1t is said that the
total amount so far discovered will
reachfabout $1,000, and this sum may be
considerably augmented after next col

Bamber has been cashier for the COM
pany for about three years. He lived in
apartments at the ST. Kathryn Hotel,
Jones and Ellis streets. He has a wife
and child who are at present in Los
Gatos, and his father Is real estate
agent in Santa Cruz.
He was last seen in the office on Sat-
urday, March Is, and when he failed to
make his appearance on the following
Monday suspicion was aroused. A few
days ago a customer called at the Of
flee and he was asked If he had paid
his account, and he replied that he had
paid the cashier on March IL. An ex-
animation of the cash book showed no
entry for the amount on that or any
subsequent date. An expert was called
in and it soon developed that Bamber
had been receiving money from GUS
toners and appropriating it to his own
uses.
The police were notified and Detec-
tives Dinan and Wren were detailed on
the case. They ascertained that Bam-
ber had been a prominent figure in the
'redlight district and squandered
money lavishly on women of the half
world. His whereabouts are at present
unknown. but Dinan and Wren expect
to be able to get on his trail soon.

LORAIN, Ohio. March 31.-At the
usual time for opening the doors OF the
Citizens Savings Bank to-day there
were several hundred depositors, most
ly foreigners, on hand to draw out
their money. Posted on the door was a
notice which read:
This bank closed for business. The
affairs of the bank have been placed
in the hands of I. F. Fancher as as
signee.
THE DIRECTORS OF THE CITI-
ZENS' SAVINGS BANK"
There was no demonstration on the
part of those gathered about the build
Ing. The individual deposits amount
to 1914, 900. While the directors are
reticent it is known that the closing
of the institution resulted from defal-
cations by three of it's employees, and
that the sum taken aggregates $97. .0OO
To offset this the three defaulting en-
ployes carried indemnity bonds in
favor of the bank aggregating $40, 900.
and in addition have turned over real
estate and other property to the bank
to the value of $4,000 leaving the net
loss to the institution $4,000. Presi-
dent Honecker says the depOsitOrs will
receive every cent due them.

nounced to-day that he expected to

wick operations were in any way re-
sponsible for the failure. President
Honecker said:

capped Mrs. Chadwick completely and
that the closing of our bank is in no

CHINESE BANDITS ACTIVE.
Japanese Success is Doing Much II

GUNSHU PASS, March 31.-Recon-
noissances disclose special activity on
the part of the Japanese on the west
near the Mongolian frontier. 1t is re-
ported that an anti-foreign propa-
ganda is conducted among the Chinese,
who are stirred up to a renewal OF
the Boxer disturbances. The Hun
yuanmin societies of Mukden and
kirin and the Tsai Lii Society, which
is strong In Tsitsihar and Northern
Manchuria, are said to be working to
spread this agitation among the Man
churian population, and japanese sue
cess is doing much to augment the
movement. Many Chinese bandit
chieftains are leaders in numerous
secret societies extending throughout
China and their influence may have a
powerful effect on the attitude of the
Chinese Government and people.

ness and the anarchy resulting there
from were prejudicial 10 everybody,
and especially to France, in Algeria
We had TO seek a remedy for the intol-
cradle situation without allowing our
action TO awaken the suspicious OF
other nations. France does not pretend
TO base her interests on disregard for
the interests of others. Thence arose
negotiations resulting in agreements
proclaiming that France possesses such
a special standing in Morocco. The
Anglo French treaty recognizes that II
is Frances task TO assist in opening
Morocco to civilization, and also that
from the economic point of view all ma
tions have an equal footing there. The
Franco Spanish agreement confirms
these views. The terms Of the Anglo
French treaty were Immediately COM
municated to the Sultan; of this fact
the issue Of the Moroccan loan by
France is proof. If France sought a

own interests, France merely pointed
out the necessity for establishing order.
That position We still hold.
The resistance Of parties interested
in maintaining the present anarchical
condition Of affairs leaves no room for
illusion. But this will not modify our
policy. Morocco is aware both of our
good viii and OF our strength, and also
that we do not seek to expand the ma
