BLAME FORGERIES on 4 WONAN.

wife Of waynesburg Bank OficIsI May BE
Arrested Girl Clerks Dismissed.

PITTsBURG, Dec 2l.-It is now alleged
that most of the forged notes Of the Farmers
and Drovers' National Bank of Waynes-
burg were executed by a woman, the wife
of one of the officials of the bank, and that
she will be arrested.
IL was also announced to-day that the
seven young Women clerks who were in
the bank under Cashier j. b. +. Rinehart
are under suspicion and that they may
he implicated in the failure. These young
women were all dismissed by Bank Ex-
aminer Cunningham when he took charge
Of the banks affairs.
To-day J. V. Thompson of Uniontown
took 200 acres of coal and OF the hands Of
Rinehart for $40 900. The money was i'm
mediately applied to the two $40, 900 notes
held by the Greensburg Trust Company
whereupon the latter Withdrew the charge
Of forgery against Rinehart.
This afternoon a Baltimore trust COM
pany in which Rinehart had 500, 900 Of
stock, wired him offering 500 900 cash for
his holdings. Rinehart immedistely ac-
cepted the offer.
In an interview here to-day Rinehart de-
clares that politics was responsible for
the failure OF the bank. He declares he is
innocent of any wrongdoing, but admits
that he might have been negligent. He
insists, however, that the affairs Of the
bank will be Strengthened out and that no
person will lose a penny.

LEITER-CURZON GOODNESS?
Chicago GOssips Hint AT Differences Over
settlement OF Marriage Portion.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-A series of incidents
connected with the recent visit to America
Of Lord Curzon, eliminating in his depart
ure for England on a different vessel from
that taken by Mrs. Levi z. Letter and her
daughters, the Countess of Suffolk and Mrs.
Colin Campbell, has given Chicago people
opportunity 20 guess that there has been
an estrangement.
IL Is limited that is the outgrowth of the
settlement of Lady Curzon's estate and the
disbursement Of the 81 500 900 marriage
settlement. To-day, when IL was learned
that Lord Curzon sailed on a different
steamer from that taken by his relatives,
the following incidents we're recalled:
The morning after Lord Curzon's arrival
in Chicago Joe Letter, his brother-in-law,
left the city for a routine visit" TO his coal
mines at Zeigler. ILL.,, Notwithstanding il
was only the second visit his distinguished
relative ever had made TO Chicago and
might be the last.
Joe did not invite Lord Curzon TO be the
guest at his apartments, 294 Lincoln Park
boulevard, blu arranged for a suite at the
Auditorium Annex instead.
Joe Letter spent only five minutes with
his brother-in-law, according to his own
admission, during the ~latter's stay in Chi
cago.
When Lord Curzon was in Washington
he did not visit the Letter home, but was a
guest at the residence of the Persian Am
b~assador, although Mrs. Letter and her
daughter we're in the city and the beautiful
home in Dupont Circle was open at the
time.
Another fact il that Joe Letter took prac-
tically no part in the financial conferences
with Lord Curzon, but left that matter
almost entirely in the hands of Robert T.
Lincoln, who Is one of the executors Of the
Letter estate.
Joe Letter to-day p~ooh-poohed the idea
of an encouragement, and laughed at the
story. He admitted. however. that the
Washington incidents looked funny"
When asked if he did not think it wa odd
that he should have looked after routine
business at a time when his famous rela-
tive was in the city, probably for the last
time, he said;
We'll, 1 hadn't thought OF that, but |
assure you it had nothing to do with our
relations

track ahead and a goodly number Of pas
sengers. Alonzo Jewell, the yardman
here who runs the switch engine, in putting
away cars for the night was running down
another track ahead Of the passenger train
to the switch.
When he reached the switch. which
crosses the main track on which the pas
senger train was running, instead OF
stopping TO let the train go by he ran a
short distance on the main track. The
passenger engine crashed into the side
of the switch engine and was thrown to one
side of the track 70 the edge Of a deep ditch,
where it stopped.
Engineer Frederick Handy OF the pas
senger train reversed his engine as 300
as he saw a collision was imminent, but
could not avert the crash. He was hurled
out of the engine to the bottom of the ditch
and was badly hurt, but will probably re-
cover. George Davis, the fireman, had
one OF his hands crushed. Mail Agent
Morrison, who was on the passenger train.
had his nose broken, and two passengers
were slightly hurt The track was blocked
for several hours Inc passengers who
came up from the city were obliged TO leave

In making known last night the selection
Of Mr.. Keep the ~Governor-elect said
II has been most gratifying to me TO secure
the services Of Mr.. Keep for the important
position Of Superintenden of Banks. He
represents the beat type of public Official. and
is a man Of the highest cha racter and Of rare
administrative efficiency. He is a resident OF
Buffalo, an expert in financial natter and
his depa { mental work in Washin gton. 1 am
informed, has been Of the greatest value. Mr..
Keep has agreed TO accept the position at my
earnest solicitation.
Mr.. Keep was born in Lockport, N. ",
in 1851. He graduated from Harvard in
1882 and from Harvard Law School i'm 1885.
He practised law in Buffalo from that year
until 1908. when he was appointed an Assist
ant Secretary in the United States Treasury
Department. The salary Of this Office IL

he will receive 81 900 a year.

State Superintendent Of Public Works, TO
succeed Nicholas v. V. Franchot. Only
three names nave been under considera-
ton for this place, Henry A. Var Alstyne,
Winslow VI. Mead and McDouRall Hawkes..
Mr.. Van Alstyne il the candidate Of the
Odell-Payn wing Of the party, Mr.. Mead
is the candidate of George W. Aldridge
and his friends, and MIR. Hawkes. has had a
certain support from President Parsons of
the Republican county committee. .
The statement was made last night that
Mr.. Hughes, who il to leave for Albany
on Thursday, will not seriously consider
the appointment of the successor TO Mr..
FranChot until he arrives there, and even
then he may not make a selection for some
time. but that the department could ne
run by Mr.. Mead, the Deputy Superin-
tendent until a permanent selection il
made. The point was made that Frederick
Skene, the new Democratic State Engi-
neer and Surveyor, il TO some extent in
experienced. and that it IL quite necessary
that the State Superintendent Of Public
Works should be a nan familiar with the
doinGs on the canals.

a man OF whom he had successfully per-
formed transportation Of the cornea.
Tn patient had lost the sight of both eyes.
BY chance the surgeon had to take out
the eve Of an eleven-yesr-old boy. The
eye was ruined by a steel splinter in the
interior, but the coTnea was intact. The
operator therefore cut Sits in the opaque
cornea Of the mans eyes and inserted
pieces from the boys eye.
The experiment failed as to the right
eye, az the transplanted window also thick
ened. but in the left eye it retained its
transparency and almost normal vision
was restored. A very close examination
revealed a slight veil over the left eye.
which. however. does not prevent the patient
from reading small print. From being
stone blind he is now able to go about his
work.
The surgeon attributed numberless
previous failures to the fact that the cornea
Of animals had heretofore been employed,
whereas in this case human material was
provided.

Gas COMPANY WINS on APPEAL.
Appellate Division UphOlds Lower Court
In Refusing an Injunction.

The Appellate Division affirmed yester-
day without opinion the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Bischof in refusing TO grant
To Harry Dinkelspiel of 219 East 18th
street a peremptory mandamus directing
the Consolidated Gas Company TO supply
him with gas at 81 cents per thousand feet.
Justice Bischof based his refusal on the
ground that there was an issue of fact raised
between the parties concerning the pro-
duction cost of gas, and that where such
an issue is raised n peremptory mandamus
will not be granted On mere ~afidavits, but
only where necessary after a trial.
A large number OF similar applications
were dependent on the Dinkelspiel case,
and the action of the Appellate Division in
affirming the decision without opinion is
considered a victory by counse for the
gas company.
