Railroads and Politics Crop Ont.
PHILADELPHIA, June "A. j. Cassatt.
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
visited Mayor Weaver at City Hall to-day
and was closeted with him for moro than
an hour. 1t il the first time in municipal
history that president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad has entered the Office OF Mayor
Of Philadelphia, Usually the Mayors call
on the president or that officials wishes
are conveyed to Philadelphia executive
by some employee.
It was given out officially from Mr.. Cas-
satt's office that he had seen the Mayo r
regarding new trackage for a low grade
freight line having its terminus in West
Philadelphia. Nobody could lie found who
believed that this was the case.
The most persistent story on the street
was that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
been getting more and more alarmed at
the hostile attitude Of the Mayor and his
advisers toward corporations allied with
the Pennsylvania Railroad. and had found
special cause for anxiety in the reports
that there is Gould finger in the present
Philadelphia political pie, and therefore
Mr.. Cassatt called to determine just how
much fire is under the smoke.
The Pennsylvania Railroad controls the
state organization and controlled also the
broken city machine. John NJ. Mack. the
asphalt man, has been reported as being
ne agent of the Gouids in the new organi-
2ation.
Another story was that the Mayor had
asked Mr.. Oassatt to come to his Office and
had sounoled him on the position of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in the fall election.
Those responsible for this yarn told also
of an angry reply on the part of Cassatt
hat it was none of the Mayors business.
Men who were in the room adjacent to
The Mayors office say that several times
he voices of the Mayor and Mr.. Cassatt
were raised angrily.

NATIONAL MUSEUM ROBBED.
karr, the Disturbing Omeer. COnfesses II
Have Taken About SAC yOOO.


WASHINGTON, June Wv. ". Karr. the
disbursing officer of the National Museum
which is operated as a bureau Of the Smith
sonan Institution, was arrested to-day on
complaint Of Samuel P Langley, secretary
of the institution. on the charge OF en-
bezzlenent. Karr admitted his guilt and
confessed to having stolen about $4,000.
His peculations, he admitted. began about
fifteen years ago.
On Monday, when bills against the Ma
tional Museum we're received by the Smith
sonian Institution, IL was found that there
was no money in the treasury to the par
ticular account out Of which these bills
were to be paid. The officers Of the institu-
ton were very much astonished over this
condition, as they had supposed that there
was a credit OF about $4,000 to the fund in
question.
Karr did not appear at his Office on Mon
day. On Tuesday the institution was in
formed that a check which 1t had drawn
on the Riggs National Bank OF this city in
favor Of the United States Treasury had
been Gishcnored by the hank for the reason
that there were 70 funds there to the in
stitution's credit. karr was then sus-
pected. and when officers Of the institu-
ton called on him at his residence he con-
fesssd that he was an embezzler. He made
no effort to get away.
Karr, It Is said, had no bad habits and had
made no expenditures beyo nd his means.
In his confession he said that he did not
know what had become Of the money and
that nobody else was implicated in his
populations.
Karr il 81 years old and has wife and
four children. He was born in Louisiana
and was appointed disbursing officer Of tho
National Museum from Tennessee about
twenty years ago.
II N probable that Karrs shorta ge is
greater than $4,000, which was tn o amount
OF his embezzlement at the end Of the fiscal
year 1904.
