HOUSE RESOLVES TO STOP
PUBLIC PRINTING WASTE

Washington, Mar. 26.-Following
the presidents suggestion, the house
today passed resolutions to correct the
useless printing of public documents
and to empower the printing commit
tees of the two legislative bodies to fix
the number of documents to be print
ed and should the demand arise for
additional copies of a publication,
then to have authority to order an
other. 1t was claimed this action
would result in saving the government
upward of a million dollars annually.
Nearly the entire day was devoted
to District of Columbia business.

the failure of the Enterprise National
Bank of Allegheny, which suddenly
closed its doors last October, which
followed the sensational suicide of its
cashier, Lee Clark. The arrests today
were made by Deputy United States
marshals, who took into custody For
rest B. Nichols private secretary to
William II. Andrews; Charles Menu
mer. George B. Ralston and Edward
p. Mcmillan, employees of the Enter
prise bank, and George e. Cook, an
alleged partner of Cashier Clark in
several real estate deals.
A warrant was also issued for Thos
Harvey, former paying teller of the
bank. but he has not ben placed un-
der arrest as he could not be found.
The charge against Menzmer is that
as clerk of the bank he certified
checks drawn upon the bank by per-
sons who had not sufficient funds on
deposit with the bank to meet the
checks drawn and so certified, this
constituting a false certification. Mich
OILS is charged with conspiring with
an officer of the bank, who is not
named, to abstract and wilfully apply
unlawfully moneys, funds and credits
of the bank. Ralston and Mcmillan
who We're clerks in the banks, are
charged with making false entries in
the books to defraud the bank and
Cook is charged with conspiring to
defraud the bank by getting false
credits.
In all there are sixty-eight counts
against the six men. Twenty-Five are
against Nichols, seventeen against Raj
ston, six against Menzmer, eleven
against Mcmillan, eleven against Cook
and one against Harvey. All the
charges are for acts alleged to have
been done between June, 1908, and
the date of the closing of the bank.
The dates of the hearings will be
set when Bank Examiner Moxey, who
is in Philadelphia, returns to this
city, probably on Tuesday next.
The cases will probably be tried at
the May term of the United States
district court.
The arrests are a climax in one of
the most sensational financial COLLAPSE
es that has occurred in western Penn
sylvania and are the result of an in
vestigation made by Bank Examiner
Edward p. Moxey, who furnished the
information to United States Commits
sioner William T. Lindsay. The in
formation was based on the alleged
conspiracy of Nichols to use funds of
the Enterprise bank in the interest of
the Santa Central Railroad company
and the Pennsylvania Construction
company.

USED To KILL
THE VICTIM
TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY
SOLVED IN SAN FRANCISCO
MCViCar'S Wife ConfesseS to Part in
FiendiSh Crime to Get $4,000
Insurance Policy.

San Francisco, Mar. 26.--The mys-
terry connected with the finding of the
dead body of Albert N. McV!car in a
trunk at the Southern Pacific depot
at Stockton on Saturday night, has
practically been solved. The identifi-
cation of the body yesterday, coupled
with the fact that a woman who pass
ed as McNicars wife, but whose real
name is Mrs. Emma Ledoux, had left
stockton shortly after the tragedy,
was followed today by the arrest of
the woman at Antioch in Contra Cos
Ia county. Mrs. Ledoux made the
following statement:
I'VE had all been drinking and Nc
Vicar and / were drunk. McVicar had
lots of money and Joe Miller gave him
carbolic acid. Then [ don't know just
what happened. Miller and l put the
body in the trunk and sent it to the
depot.

continued. "and | do not know how
much there was, but he got it."
The local police learned that Mrs.
Ledoux was visited in this city ON Sat
urday night by Joseph Healy, a plum
ber and he admitted to them that he
did so in response to a telegram from
several years. He said:
Il remained at the lodging house
quite late Saturday night, and went
back again on Sunday | was sitting
in the ladies' parlor reading, when
happened to notice the story of the
stockton murder. | told her 1t was a
terrible thing. She was very cool,
and said:
"It was"
"Then / did not know it was Nc
Vicar who had been killed, so / asked
her what had become of McVicar
She said he had died at Sonora, and
that McVicar's brother had shipped
the body to Denver Col. She also told
me McVicar had a $4,000 insurance
policy that had been made out to her
as beneficiary"
Healy visited police quarters vol
unfairly. The police believe his story
and find a motive for the Stockton
crime in the references to the Insurance
policy on McVicar's life and the
money he was known to possess.
