CLERK DIDN'T
STEAL RIGHT
Judge Foster Hits Grafters in
Sentencing Neumer, Who
Helped Crook Lobby.

In sentencing Emil II. Neumer. the
Equitable Life Assurance clerk. who
assisted the veteran crook, Sam Lob
lev, to s,enl $4,000 OF Equitable FUNDS.
Judge Warren w. Foster commented
Indirectly upon the larger grating or
the society in q way that created n
sensation in court to-day.
Judge Foster told the young a IN
effect, tina he would have done better
for him had he allied himself with
powers on The inside rather than with
q crook - the outside OF the company,
and compared his crime with mat OF
ORA wing an exorbitant salary.
Because of the services you have
rendered the people in giving testimony
against your accomplices you are enti-
tied to a degree of mercy" said Judge
Foster. II will send you to Elmira Re-
instead of sending you to
prison for q term of years.
Your crime was q serious one. You
were a trusted clerk of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. BY reason OF
your previous good reputation you were
trusted by your employers and you were
recreant to your trust. Through your
fundamentally the Equitable Life AS
Society was robbed Of more than
$4,000.
You stole from the Equitable, but
your methods were crude n bungling.
II you had, instead OF collusion with
an outsider. been in COLLISION with an
inslder and merely had your salary
raised to $50, 900 a year and then divided
with the otter man, the result would
not have been a bit more Objectionable
from a moral or ethical standpoint and
would have been no more hurtful to
the policy-holders, and very possibly
you would not have been at the bar of
Justice"
Neumer aided Sam Lobby in securing
from the Equitable nc loans OF $1,000
each on a policy which, was held by the
company as coils teral for another loan.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. President,

the conducting Of their common busi-
ness.
81 beg to request that a Full investi-
cation be made of the methods which
led to the corruption. with tho view
of preventing the possibility Of recur-
renee. and that the guilty ones be ade-
Quately punished.
'Oficial reports should be above the
suspicion OF publication IN tho inter-
est of any persons for their individual
beneht, and as President OF this Elk

What the outcome of the investiga-

The members of the New York Pro-

FOUND SECRET OF GREEKS.
Hungarian Professor Knows How te

A Hungarian professor and chemist
of the Brunn university claims to have
~lediscovered the secret of the ancient
|. Greeks by which they were able to
render mortar imperishable. The rea.
son for the remarkable preservation
and hard texture of the sealing ma
terial of the Acropolis at Athens.
which is as good to-day as it was
when first laid centuries ago, has
always puzzled scientists and archae-
OlOgists. This Hungarian some twenty
five years ago procured a piece of this
fintlike mortar and ever since has
been engaged upon ascertaining the
secret of its manufacture. He has in
vented a chemical compound, liquid in
character and yellowish color. The
claims of this inventor are that by the
application of this compound the den
sity of nearly every description of
stone, including granite, is doubled,
and is rendered absolutely impervious
to water; it imparts to all metals the
power to resist rust and is a great,
powerful germicide. These properties
are not transient, but everlasting.

if any of the gang assaulted Hamilton
it must have been Pierre and his com

By dint Of vigorous questioning, con-

Archbishop Ryan, at a dinner that
was given in his honor in Philadel-
phia. said, anent a man who had
bought a sailed mine:
"The gentleman's disappointment on
discovery of the salt must have been
great. 1t resembled a little, perhaps,
the emotion of a certain Frankfort
man. ~"
This man had a small nephew of
whom he was very fond. One night,
in evening dress, he called at the
Youngsters house, and, taking him on
his knee, gave a demonstration of an
opera hats mechanism. First he would
crush his tall black hat into a pan
cake. Then, with a loud report, he
would spring it back into its proper
shape again.
THE little fellow was amused. He
took the hat. He, too, found he could
crush it and open it again with ease.
He played with it for half an hour.
He had a good time. The episode
made an impression on him.
The uncle called the next month
on a Sunday afternoon. This time he
wore a frock coat and a silk hat. He
placed the silk hat on a table in the
hall, entered the parlor, and began to
converse with his brother.
AN hour passed. Then the little
nephew entered, with something
black ard shapeless in his hand.
"'Uncle.' he said, this hat is hard

Therefore she never entered the

they were as well filled or better than
