Frank Maxwell, X. of Il. The lodge
starts out under suspicious circum-

completed its work, which has been pro-
ductive Of much good. Mr.. Borlini, the
chairman, states that the OWL is now

Meetino of EMS.

\ largely attended meeting OF mem-
beers OF the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, now residents of the
Goldtield mining district, was held at
the Brown Palace hotel last "Wednesday
evening. The meeting was called for
the purpose OF taking some steps toward
the formation OF an Elk's club. State
Senator, Samuel V. Newell of Central
City, Colorado, was chosen chairman
and p. j. Donahue, who owes allegiance
to the Cripple Creek lodge of Elks, sec
rotary. There was a lengthy discussion
which was participated in by a dozen or
more present. All were of the opinion
that it was absolutely necessary to
bring the members OF the organization
together so that they can act as a unit
in the care of sick members and assist
ing those in need. According to a
recent law adopted by the Grand Lodge
no lodge can be organized in a new min
ing camp until it is at least five years
old, no matter what the population
might be. 1t was also brought out at
the meeting that an Elk's club was
organized in Tonopah some two years
ago but the officers were notified by the
Grand Exalted Ruler to disband and
this was qkickly done. 1t was the sense
OF the meeting that nothing should be
dene to antagonize the Grand Lodge
officers or the Reno lodge, which has
jurisdiction over all southwestern Ne
vada. IN executive committee OF seven
was appointed. These selected were f.
j, Harris, belonging to Spokane lodge;
John Quinn, kingman: W. G. Doane,
Reno; P J. Donahue, Cripple Creek !;
Or. W. T. Liggett, Cripple Creek

The Capture of Cunliffe.

E. G., Cunliffe, the Adams Express Co.
thief, turned out to be an ordinary.
everyday common fool .,4a +.
He yielded to temptation on Monday
evening, the 9th, stole $f01. 900; went tc
the railroad station and went to New
York and from there to Bridgeport,
Conn. where he had worked and was
known
At Bridgeport he registered at hotel
under an assumed name and had a gay
! time until Thursday afternoon last,
when he was arrested as he was leaviD 9
his hotel. Hssi ati-a t"
He took, the money with him to
Bridgeport, burned up about 81, 900 OF
ii, which was in new Pittsburg bills,
and expressed about $50, 900 of it in the
valise to his brother-in-law in a neigh
boring town. where it was found and
recovered. rl''''
On the morning of the day he stole
the hundred thousand, four times that
amount passed through his hands, and
he says he yielded to sudden tempta-
tion that evening, and was sorry few
minutes after that he did it. On Friday
about $10, 900 more of the stolen money,
SOhCCoIOu III oOlo SOllcu sulTJS, was re-
covered, and Cunliffe was brought to
Rlttsburg that evening, and put in jail
The incident will probably result in
the express companies taking greater
care in the handling of large amounts,
and also in keeping a better record of
the packsges that pass through their
hands, for they would not have found
the $4,000 had not Cunliffe himself
told what he did with it. :. He handed
the valise to an express company driver
on the street, and it was sent to the ad-
dress marked upon it, and no record
made of it; and his brother -in-law re-
ceiEed it and not knowing its contents
threw it into the closet where it was
found. .ss,e-. t.Ats. .,-.-. f
As for Cunliffe, he has ruined his own
life and disgraced his family for one
drunken spree.

The State Treasury Graft.

Philadelphia Press-Rep.)
The whole system on which the state
treasury is conducted is utterly PERM
cious and dangerous. 1t treats the state
money as simply medium for the per
sonal jobs and the political schemes OF
the state ring.
Under this system the public FUNDS
are deposited where the masters OF the
ring dictate. The controlling considera-
tion is that the peoples money is to be
made tributary to the speculative enter
prises of the ruling politicians and 70
the political requirements of the ma
chine. It has repeatedly happened that
the payment of school moneys has been
DELAYED because the funds were absorb
ed in these jobs.
This facility of misuse breeds the most
reckless chances. The nominal custo-
dian of the funds is compelled to obey
the behests of the masters who take the
largest risks. He walks on a volcano.
The nervous strain is fearful. The per-
ilous pathway Is strewn with suicides
and several of the officers have been
fugitives.
Every one cohversant with the his
tory Of the state recalls the tragic cpl
sode when a large amount was taken
directly from the treasury, ventured on
= speculative cast and lost. That trans
action cost one life, and another of more
distinction hung on a thread until
friends came forward and made good
the loss. If the annals of the treasury
could be fully written they would en-
brace many similar chapters.
The fact that the state may not have
lost does not affect the danger. The
risk is always there. But even If the
state is fully protected by surety bonds
thousands of individuals suffer. The
bank. which has been robbed, as the En-
terpsise at Allegheny was. goes down,
and while the state may be secured the
Individual depositors sust ain the loss.
The system is fraught with every evil.
1t is vicious, corrnpting and utterly de-
basing. It carries into the state the
same rule of graft which has been so
deadly in this,city.
A robber who walks into bank, puts
: pistol to the cashiers head and helps
himself to the money is criminal.
When caught the robber usually does a
long term in prison. The public
breathes sigh of satisfaction that one
more vicious character is safely behind
iron bars
When powerful political grafters en-
ter 4 bank and give the cashier $500. 0OO
belonging to the state they are regarded
possibly as benefactor Of the institu.
ton. Later, when these same individ-
uals put thumbscrews on the cashier
and force him to loan them all the $500
600 on virtually worthless paper" how
shall their action be designateds What
shall be their punishment
A dead cashier and a looted bank
This is an impressive tableau. There
may be something heroic in the bold
highwayman who takes his own life In
his hand for the lust of money, but how
desperate and cowardly is the sneakine
action Of the rolitical thumbscrew
maraudersl Is it possible for the people
Of this mighty commonwealth to tolerats
any Ioncer auch a avatem "a this?
