Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The PENNSYLVANIA varsity

"SHORT-C CHANGED" DEALERS
Man Who Tried to Rob Los Angeles
Bank Arrested on Petty
Larceny Charge
By Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-J. J.
Mccarthy, alias John Baldwin, one
time member of the Matheny band of
bank robbers, has been arrested for
victimizing several merchants by the
''short change game. The man who,
with his associates three years ago
confined himself to jobs in which there
were thousands in sight, is now in the
city prison, and when his name is
transferred to the prisonsregister from
the detlnue book the charge against
him will be petty larceny.
Mccarthy, or as he calls himself,
Baldwin, was released from San Quen-
tin a few months ago, after serving a
ten-years' sentence for his share in
the Los Angeles tunneling bank rob-
berry scheme, which was nipped in the
bud just as he and Louis Matheny, the
leader of the band, were about to place
hands on the surplus of the First Ma
tional bank of the southern metrop-
oils. He came directly to San Fran
cisco after his release. He was ar
rested on Saturday night with COM
panion known as John Coleman, but
1t was not until today that Mccarthy
was recognized as having formerly
been one of the most noted burglars
in America. He has admitted his
identity. Louis Matheny, with whom
he formerly was associated, was re-
ported to have been killed in Seattle,
but many police officers think that he
is still alive.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The correspond

News has reached here Of another
attack on foreign mission at Ngan-
king province of Nganhwei, on the
left bank of the Yang Use Kiang. No
loss of life is reported.
Yesterday an attempt was made by
a trusted Chinese servant to murder
the secretary of the French municipal
council while he was asleep. The at
tempt was frustrated and the assailant
was arrested.
Many of the great provincial vice.
roys are displaying a marked anti
foreign attitude, which they would
hardly dare to so openly assume un-

proved their conduct. In the foreign
settlements of treaty ports efforts are
being made quietly to recover priv
ileges granted to foreigners.
In some quarters japan is believed to
view with equanimity the possibility
of armed intervention being necessary,
since it would provide her with occa-
sion to obtain from China what she
failed to exact from Russia.
In Shanghai two additional conf
panies of volunteers are being raised.

ell favors strengthening the Sikh police
force by 500 men. Unfortunately it is

BONI NOT AFTER
LARGE AMOUNT
WILL ACCEPT SUM EQUAL ONLY
TO FORMER INCOME
States EmphatlcalIy to the Countess
Lawyers That He Is Looking
for Nothing Further
Than Thia
By Associated Press.


PARIS, Feb. 15.-+The financial nego-
tiations in the Castellane case do not
relate to Count Bonis allowance after
separation from his wife, formerly
Annie Gould of New York, as he has
simplified this branch by stating that
he does not expect large amount.
The counts announcement was made
to one of the lawyers of the countess.
1t was most emphatic and substanti-
ally in the following tone:
81 declare to you and l swear to the
exactness of my declaration, that 1 not
only do not demand, but that l will
amount which constituted my income
before my marriage"
The count thus disposes of the state
ment to the effect that he contempt
uously refused $4,000 a year on the
ground that it was not sufficient for
his pocket money.
The attitude of the count leaves the
lawyers of the countess to consider
only his outstanding Indebtedness,
which reaches an enormous sum. The
Castellane marriage contract gives the
countess her separate income not sub
ject to claims for the debts of her
husband This contract insures the
protection of the countess fortune
against being absorbed in the present
controversy and also prevents the
counts creditors from taking legal ac-
ton against the countess. At the same
time she does not appear disposed to
exact the strict letter of the contract,
and the financial negotiations are for
the purpose of making some arrange
ment for a compromise with the count S
creditors.
The amount involved has been
swollen to enormous proportions by ex-
cessive charges for money advanced.
The extent of which the countess will
voluntarily liquidate these claims is the
chief question under negotiation, and
the determination of this will prob
ably determine all the other proceed
ings.
The court has made second inef-
fectual attempt to bring about a re-
cancellation. The next step will be the
service of a writ upon the defendant,
but the clerk of the court has not yet
received orders to serve the document.
