PRESIDENTS
SECRETARY
Defendant in Damage Suit Brought by
Nadage Doree, Jewish Writer.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 10.-Wm. Loeb,
Jr., Secretary to President Roosevelt,
was made defendant in a $4,000 dam
age suit today, in which he is charged
with having caused the false arrest
of .Nadage Doree, Jewish writer.
The arrest was made last winter in
Washington, when Miss Doree was
distributing leaflets advertising her
work in the defense of Russian Jews
at st. Johns Episcopal Church. The
papers were served on Mr.. Loeb today
by a New York firm of lawyers. They
require him to make answer within
twenty days in New York. Mr.. Loeb
will be defended by the Department
of Justice. The arrest, he says, was
made by the Washington police force
without his knowledge. Miss Doree
made an unsuccessful effort to see
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
last summer.

SOME REAL
TREASURE ISLANDS
Many Of the South Pacific Groups are
VeritabIe Minis.

There are 26 islands In the group
known as the Farce Islands, and they
were first discovered 100 years ago
by Tfoke-a Morse pirate who put
sheep upon them. Fare" is the old
Scandinavian word for sheep. They
are famous, too, as being the lands
where Columbus first heard of the ex-
istence of America.
In 1903 a British cruiser captured
these islands, but in 1914 they were
abandoned and worthless and went
back to Denmark. Yeb Sudero, the
Southern-most of the group, which is
about 80 miles long by ~ wide, is
nothing but one gigantic mass Of coal.
Big ships steam right into land
locked bay and there fill their bunkers
from the seams which crop through
the cliffs. And by steam this island
is only 4S hours from our southern
ports. Is it not enough to make the
patriotic British tear his hair to think
that we gave away this treasure is
land as worthless?
The treasure island has always been
a favorite theme for the writer of
fiction, and without doubt there are,
in actual fact, such things as pirates
hordes of gold buried in certain is
land cliffs and beaches. Such men as
Palliser and Earl Fitzwilliam
do not risk money and time as they
have done for nothing, and there is
pretty good proof that Keating's treas
ure of three millions sterling was ac-
tually buried in Cocos Island, and that
another huge mass of loot was secreted
in Trinidad. Whether either will be
discovered is quite another matter.
But there Is really no need to go
and dig for buried millions when so
many of the tens of thousands of is
lands which strew the oceans with
such natural riches, like the island of
Sudero already mentioned. Another
instance is White Island in the Bay
Of Plenty, New Zealand. About three
miles in circumference and rising in
its center to 800 feet above sea level,

LUCKY BOY.
Got Silver Dollar Worth $500 for Saw.
ing Wood.

(Lesuer., Mimi, cor. st. Louis Repub
lic.)
Harry Trimbo, of Mountainville, 8
boy Is years old, had streak Of
luck as he calls it, yesterday.
He had been saving some wood for
"a man in town, whose name Is of nc
importance in the story, and went
around to the mans office to get his
pay. The job came to $1.25, and he
absolutely had to have the money to
get sack of flour for the family use,
|or they would have to go without
their supper. He found his employer
with his overcoat on, ready to go
home, and when he told him what the
bill was, the man said that 1t was too
much; that 1t should not be worth
more than dollar. The boy insisted
that he was right, and the man said
he knew the bill was too much, but
that he would go up and look the pile
over the next day.
Now, this would not do at all, for
unless he got the money there would
be no supper. He could make dol
lar do by getting an inferior grade of
flour, but disliked very much to do
this, for his mother Is delicate and
cannot we'll eat coarse food.
1t seemed to be case of necessity,
however, and driven to desperation
by the emergency, he agreed to accept
the dollar in full, but his hart swelled
with rage as he did so, and he longed
to be a fullgrown man that he might
take the balance of it "out of the old
skinfiint's hide
The man handed him out dollar,
made him sign a receipt in full for
the bill, and then told him to "git"
out of the office.
He started to go willingly enough,
but as he did so the money, silver
dollar, fell out through hole in his
pocket and rolled along the floor.
It was picked up by a gentleman
who had been in the Office during the
controversy, and he was just going to
hand it back to Harry when, happen
ing to glance at the coin, he started
and cried. 1904! Well, my boy, you
are lucky fellow, after all. This

been missing over century and is
now worth exactly $500 in the market

The stingy employer jumped up at
this and tried to take the money back
again, but he had not the least chance
in the world to DO so. for the strange
gentleman Immediately took 1t upon
himself to arrange the matter accord
ing to law and justice. He kept the

JAPAN'S ADVANTAGE
She Could Easily Take and Hold the
Philippines, Says Captain Hobson.

1T would not be fair to say that the
unfortunate incident is the Pribilof
Islands would be utilized by Japan to
seek a quarrel with the United
States" said Captain Hobson at the
New Willard last night, 'for investi-
cation will probably show that it was
the act of fishermen seeking seals in
defiance of law and that no Interior
purpose was behind 1t.
IF, however, the Japanese Govern
ment were to take it up and make it
the pretext of quarrel with US and
the affair reached a critical stage,
Japan would have the advantage In
every way. What l mean is. that If
Japan wants a row with this country
now is the time for her to have it
out, and if we got into fight with her
she could easily take the Philippines.
I'VE have neglected our opportuni-
ties in those islands. Eight years
have passed and we have done moth
ing looking to their defense. Without
a proper naval base there we cannot
maintain our prestige in the Orient II
any one seeks to contest 1t with us;
and If we cannot maintain our military
prestige, we will lose our commercial
prestige as well.
you can depend upon it, If japan
were to take the Philippine Island she
would not lose a single hour In MAX
ing their defense so strong that we
nor any other nation could retake
them. We can do nothing in the
Orient with navy working from our
Pacific Coast. Hawaii affords us little
II any advantage; we have erected
few Notifications there, but nothing
like naval base, and If the day comes
that we lose the Philippines through
BUR failure to take the proper precau-
ions, we might as well give up all
hope of developing our trade with
China and the Orient.

SPECULATION IN
COTTON FUTURES
CAUSES RUIN OF PROMISING
YOUNG MAN-PAYINc TELL
ER IN BANK.
GETS $4,000 FROM FIRST Ma
TIoNAL AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 49,
Within twelve hours today Alexander
r. Chisolm, Paying Teller Of the First
National Bank, was arrested charged
with the embezzlement of $4,000 OF
the banks funds, given preliminary
hearing before United States Commits
sionerd r. B. Watts. put under bond
of $4,000 and failing to make 1t he
is tonight in the custody OF United
States ofIicials at one OF the princi-
pal hotel of the city.
During the afternoon W. L. Sims
and G. M. Hayes, Manager and Assis-
tant Manager Of one of the chief stock
and cotton brokerage houses in the
city were arrested charged with aid
ing and abetting the embezzlement OF
National Bank funds. They were also
given a preliminary hearing this
morning and Sims bond was fixed at
$4,000 and Hayes at $4,000. Both
have made bond and are at liberty
The shortage at the First National
Bank was discovered while Chisolm
was on his annual vacation. The
bank keeps a large reserve fund on
hand and it was from this that the
amount was taken. There was no
regular 0ime for counting the cash in
the reserve fund, which accounts for
the fact that the shortage was not
discovered sooner.
Oficials decided to wait and allow
Chisolm to return voluntarily. When
he stepped from the train this morn
ing he was confronted by the FEEDER
al officials and several Directors of
the bank. He at first stoutly denied
any knowledge of any shortage, but
later, in the presence Of the Directors
made full confession.
w. P. G. Harding. President of the
First National Bank, made state
ment during the afternoon to the eff
feet that the bank would not lose the
amount and that it will not affect
the INSTITUTION.
The bank has a capital of $1,000
900 and surplus of 100000 and $751;
900 undivided profits, When Chisolm
was arrested $4,000 was taken from
his suit case. He was bonded by one
of the large bond companies for $780,
900. The difference between these
amounts and the shortage has already
been taken from the undivided prof
its account of the bank and charged |
to profit and loss.
Young Chisolm was one of the most /
popular young men socially and per-
sonally in Birmingham. He comes
from one Of the best families in the
South and numbered his friends by |
the hundreds. The announcement to-
day that Alex Chisolm was default !,

clear sky and no one was more sur
prised than his most intimate asso-
ciates.
