President Of Milwaukee Bank Embezzles
Entire Capital Of institution.

MILWAUKEE, April 2~4.-Frank G.
Bigelow, president of the First Ma.
tional bank of this city, and former
president OF the American Bankers
association, has defaulted to the
banks funds to the extent of 81, 5OO,-
600. The directors of the bank have
deposited in the bank a sum sufficient
to make the institution perfectly solid.
The capital of the First National
bank is s l,500, 900 and the surplus is
81 200 1000. MIR. Bigelow has signed
over property to the bank amounting
to $1,000 making his net defalca.
ton about 81, 200, 900.
Aside from the surplus. which will
meet the amount of the defalcation,
the sum of 81, 1886, 600 has been SUBJ
scribed by directors to meet any de.
mands which may be made on the
bank. The aggregate wealth of the
directors who subscribed the funds to
meet any requirements of the bank ap.
proximate over $40, 600, 600.
The arrest of Mr.. Bigelow followed
his confession to the board of direc-
tor of the bank that he was a de.
faulter to the extent Of 81, 450, 900.
Following Mr.. Bigelow's confession,
he was removed from the presidency
of the bank, and the facts in the case
were laid before the federal authori.
ties.
The complaint vas sworn to by

ant cashier of the bank, but Coll

that he had misdirected the funds

Suits Against Labor Unions.

DENVER, April 24.-Suits for dam
ages aggregating 81, O0O, 900 have filed
in the state and federal courts by the
United States Reduction Il Refining
company, and a number of Cripple
Creek mining companies against the
Western Federation of Miners and its
officers. The complaints are all of a
similar nature. They charge the de-
PENDANTS with unlawfully conspiring to
iniure the plaintiffs by preventing the
mining and shipment of ore. The
Nindicator Gold Mining company
asks for $50, 900 damages for losses
occasioned by the stoppage of its
pumps. The suits are an outcome OF
the strike which was ordered in the
Cripple Creek district August 10, 1908,
and has not yet been declared Off, al
though all the mines are now operat.
ing with full forces.

THE BUCK WOOL CIR AFT.

In a few of the reports of receu,
wool sales in northern Nor tana, it Is
announced that the price paid for the
clip applies also to the buck wool, bu,
In most of the trans actions it Is under.
stood that the ''rules of sale" oripi.
mated and proclaimed by a syndicate
of eastern buyers some years ago
form part of the contract. These
'rules' require the grower to sell his
buck wool for one.half the price paid
for the bulk of his clip.
This rule is simply q graft for the
benefit of the buyer, as the buck wool
of most Montana clips is not of such
inferior value as indicate by this
requirement. In fact, some time ago
the River Press gave particu l lars of a
transaction in which the buck wool of
a certain clip was excluded from a
local sale, and shipped east to be
sold on its merits, and which brought
a higher net price than the other part
OF the clip. Had it been subject to
the local buyers rules Of sale, its
owner would have received less than
one.half its market value.
This may have been an exceptional
case, but we are informed by practi.
cal sheepmen that they consider their
buck wool worth considerably more
than the price contemplated by this
arbitrary rule. Some of them say it
is the best part Of their clip, and
others claim that while its shrinkage
may be slightly greater than that of
the other wool, it is of Ion ger staple
and has other desirable qualities.
In view of the injustice Of this So
called ''rule Of sale'' applying to
buck wool, the River Press would
suggest that growers reserve this por-
ton of their clip from any proposed
transaction in which it is to be sold
at half-price. If it is worth as much
per pound as the bulk of his clip, the
grower is entitled to the same price
as is paid for the latter. II it is of
less value, let it be sold on its merits
to the buyer who will pay the best
price.
The buck wool graft should go, and
the present season is an appropriate
time for its departure.

PAYS HIS OWN WAY.

CARELESS of previous political afjlia.
lions, have come to admire this siren.
uOus, manly president. An official of
one of the western roads over which
the president has travelled has given
out this statement:
''The presidents train on this road
will be paid for at regular rates and
all bills for transportation will be set.
tied through the auditing department.
of the Pennsylvania road and will be
paid for by the president. The only
special courtesy which will be accept.
ed by the president will be permission
to ride on the engine through Red
Rock canyon
In declining to accept special favors
from various railroad lines which
would undoubtedly be eager to
extend them, President Roosevelt
shows no greater diversion from the
methods of other presidents than he
has in many of his official acts.
The assertion is safe that no other
president yer placed himself in Il po-
si,ion where the accepting of favors
from railroad would be more incou.
si>tent with his plans and evident de.
examinations. President Roosevelt is
not forgetting for Il moment that con
gress and himself have railroad mat
tiers to attend to at II special session
Of congress before the year ends.
He is evidently broad minded enough
to see that there are evils on both sides
of the railroad question, and that the
public is not wholly blamcless.
one OF the evils committed by the
public and public officials in various
positions against railroads is the
enormous and unreasonable demands
made upon railroads for ''deadhead''
transportation on any and every pos
sible preteNt. 1t has long been ar.
gued by railroad men that the freigh,
department is compelled to contribute
largely to the support of the passen.
ger department on most roads.
President Roosevelt is evidently de.
termined to do what he can toward
rendering the passenger department
of the roads over which he travels
selt-sustaining. In return he undoubt-
eddy feels that the railroads can afford
to regulate freight as close to cost of
operating expenses aud a fair profit
as they may for the good of the pub.
