police, charged with having robbed the
National City bank of $685., 900 worth
Of securities by presenting forged
check. Later he made full confession
and declared that his purpose was to
give Wall street lesson showing how
easily any bank could be robbed on
account Of the lax system of trans
ferring securities. On the night of the
robbery he had returned $26O,OOO of
the securities to their rightful owner
and when caught told where the re-
mainder Of the loot was. The clew
which led to Leonard's arrest was
copy he had left with the stamp maker
for the certifcation stamp This was
an old check containing the name of
his employers. When arraigned in

ball. The National City bank officials
decided to press the case against him,
Notwithstanding that the securities
were recovered, for the sake of the

New York City Nominations.
The various party organizations have
made their nominations for New York
city officers during the past week, and
District Attorney Jerome, with 1000
petitions, was duly entered as an indie
pendent contestant. The effort for
antiTammany fusion having fallen
through, the Citizens Union contented
itself with Endorsing Jerome, and the
Municipal Ownership league loudly de
manded that Hearst be its candidate
for mayor, even after he had written a
letter declining the suggested honor.
The Tammany organization, in COM
plete harmony and without a contest,
renominated Mayor Mcclellan for an
other term The Republican organiza-
ton experienced some difficulty in find
ing an available leader for what was
regarded as forlorn hope, but final

naming Charles E. Hughes, the insur-
ance inquisitor.
Why Roosevelt Won't Run.
In conversation with Senator Sim

Roosevelt replied to the suggestion that
the people would want him to serve
another term by saying that he would
not allow himself to become candi-
date in 1908 and that his mind had
not changed in regard to this matter.
He explained further that the con-
seriousness of this unalterable resolu-
ton was the complement of his free
dom from pledges when he entered on
the Office. 1t made him free to act as
he thought was right, gave him great
and enabled him to enjoy
his official life better than he could if
he had been striving for some political
ambition.

Mr.. Loomis' Parting Shot.
On formally retiring from the Office
of assistant secretary of state Francis
B. Loomis gave to the press copies
of correspondence between President
Roosevelt and himself in regard to an
alleged disagreement between the pres
ident and the late Secretary Hay over
LOOMS conduct. In his letter to the
president Mr.. LOOMS makes caustic
reference to his former assistant, Her
bert w. Bowen, and tells Of his init
mate relations with Mr.. Hay. In reply
the president says that the reports of
differences between himself and Mr..
Hay are false. On the contrary, he
testifies that Mr. Hay had fully con-
Cured in the dismissal Of Bowen and
dissented only from the mild censure
of LOOMS in the Taft report.
Mr.. Bowen's statement Of what took
place at his last interview with the
president is contradicted, however, by
Secretary Taft, who was present, to-
gether with Mr. Bowen's brother. Taft
Says CDdC BOWEN was ulSLdheu LII LIS
Interpretation of what the president
said-nanely, that he wished the whole

Former Minister Bowen made retort
in a statement to the press in which
he quoted letters from Secretary Hay

sertion that in the presence Of wit
nesses just prior to his dismissal Presi-
dent Roosevelt said he would have
done a great deal to hush up the sean

WATKINS 4 VICTIM
OF winters R|C0R
Baseball Magnate Has Been Suf-
/, fering from Attack of Rheu-
i. matte Pneumonia.

Indianapolis, Dec. 23.-W. H. Wat
! kins has been confined to his bed at
the Grand hotel most Of the week, but
is convalescing. He was to have
been installed as master of the An
cient Landmark lodge Of Masons, Mon
day night, but during the day he was
taken i'll and the attending physician
would not permit him to leave the
room. He passed very bad night,
but after the danger point Tuesday
morning, he was apprised that he had
suffered with an attack of rheumatic
pneumonia and but for careful atten-
ton he might have been confined to
his bed for many days.
The baseball magnate's constitution
is undermined and as he expressed it
his vitality had received a severe
strain during the past few weeks and
temporarily he was all in. His break
down is the direct result of the day
and night work he did at New York
during the recent meeting of the Ma
tional League, when he worked SO
hard in the interest of the minor
leagues to obtain suitable legislation
from the majors on the draft question
For several weeks Watty has been
jumping around the country and has
been under a severe strain. He is
much improved, but his physician de,
manded that he have absolute rest fol-
several days.

added daily to attract the multitudes.
Thousands and thousands of dollars are
being expended both for Madison
Square Garden and the Armory.
But the cry for earlier automobile
shows is going to be stronger this year
than ever, as the agents and makers
have found that the prospective users
of 1906 cars are inclined not to await
the shows. -. ..-. -~-.r
Orders are being placed now. for the
well-known makes, and by show time
it is quite probable that there will be
no real necessity to exhibit on the part
of many Of the makers, as their allot-
ments for the east will already be sold.
Allotment of space at Madison
Square has been made, and the new
diagrams, showing the location of each
exhibitor, are almost ready. They will
probably be given out the end Of this
week. ~.

To show how much weight can be
saved in building an automobile, pro-
vided a maker is willing to indulge
literally in the use of expensive alumni

saves eleven pounds in weight.

Michigan at Ann Arbor. Manager w.
C. Lansdon, has received letter from
the athletic manager at Ann Arbor, in
which it was stated that %the prospect
for Kansas-Michigan game was very
favorable, and that at present there
seemed to be no reason that would pre-
vent the playing of the game. Manager
Lansdon has been in communication
with Michigan all fall endeavoring to
schedule Yost IS men. The last letter
from them stated that the date of the
game could not be set until spring, but
that the wolverines were counting on
playing the jayhawkers next fall.
On New Years Day at Lincoln Neb.,
will be decided whether or not there will
be a Kansas-Nebraska game next season.
If the jayhawkers can add Michigan
and Nebraska to the coming schedule
