Bank Officers Arrested.

Alexander r. Chisolm, paying teller
of the First National Bank, in Birming-
ham, Ala, was arrested yesterday chsrg-
ed with the embezzlement Of $97 900 OF
the banks funds. He was held by
United States Commissioner K. +. Wat
son.
During the afternoon w. L. Sims and
G. NJ. Hays, manager and assistant man
aper of one of the chief stock and cotton
brokerage houses in Birmingham, we're
arrested, charged with aiding and abet-
ting the embezzlement of national bank
funds. They were released yesterday
evening on bonds.
The shortage at the First National
Bank was discovered while Chisolm was
on vacation. The bank has large re-
serve fund on hand, and it was from this
that the amount was taken. There was
no regular time for counting the cash in
the reserve funds, which accounts for
the fact that the shortage was not dis
covered sooner. 1t was decided TO wait
until Chisolm returned. When he STEP
ped from a train yesterday morning, he
was confronted by the federal officers and
several directors of the bank. He lsteI
made a full confession.
W.P. G. Harding, president, said thai
the bank would not lose the whole

amount, and that the loss would not al
feet the institution. The bank has q
capital of 81, 900, 900, and surplus OF
$400. .0H0.
When Chisclm was arrested SO, 900
was taken from his suit case. he was
bonded for $4,000 The difference,
$64, 600, between these amounts and the
shortage, has already been taken from
the undivided profits account OF the bank
and charged 10 profit aud loss.
Young Chisolm was one OF the most
popular young men socially and person
ally in Birmingham. 1t is said tnst
nearly ell the money embezzled by him
was used In speculation in cotton futures,
and that his losses have extended over
period of several mouths. 1t is said that
he traded under en- assumed naue, and
made all his payments for margins IN
cash.

The effete east, which some years
ago was aroused to the realization that
she was coming to Indiana for litera-
ture, poetry and pork and beans, has
just been Jared again. Her statistical
wonders have just discovered that the
tomato can has been following the
westward bound star of empire. The
statisticans in the east are now dis
cove ring the fact that, unless figures
lie terribly-the old standard states
are coming to Indiana and her sur
rounding states for their timed
goods" canned tomatoes, canned corn
and peas and even canned milk.
1t has been discovered, over in the
European mummy markets, that the
finest Egyptian mummies of the time
of the Rameses are being manufac-
tured in Italy, but this discovery is no
more startling than the one that Della
ware, Maryland, New York and New
England are beginning to awaken to
the fact that the finest brand of New
Hampshire" maple strip" comes out
Of the Chicago hickory bark factories
and that the finest New England"
East" brands of canned goods are COM
ing out of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
Standards are becoming the western
brands and many of the Indiana can
ners have stopped labelling their fine
goods with the names of high standing
down east. states and are beginning to
build regulations on the good old
styled name 'HooSier."
An expert on the shifting scene has
made an elaborate diagnosis of the
rolling of the vegetable can from the
east to the west, and attributes it to
the changing of the center of popula-
ton and of the money supply from the
east to the west. He has, however,
overlooked the fact that even the far
mers out west" have trained their
palates to canned goods, though they
have not been educated up to point
to say timed goods"

ship Proves Much More Satisfactory
Than the Experiment at Muncie-

The Muncie Times of yesterday con-
tanned the following:
The Municipal electric lighting
plant at Richmond, unlike the one in
Muncie, furnishes light and power for
commercial purposes instead of mere
ly for street lighting. During the
month of April the Richmond plant
netted $995.14 above expenses, includ-
ing new equipment and maintenance
beside furnishing street lighting W. CHI
would have cost the city $1,S12.50
without charge. The Muncie- plant
has at times proven SO expensive as to
cause some of the officials to suggest
the advisability of selling the plant
and buying street lights from a pri
vate company. No action along this
line has been taken, however, although
numerous suggestions have been made
looking to an increase in the efficiency
of the plant. The constant changes
and improvements which are being
made in electrical machinery soor
renders modern plant obsolete ant
this has been one source of the trouble
in Muncie. However changes have
been made by Superintendent Harry
Mccullough which are expected to Sc
cure satisfactory results.

SEEDING COMPANY'S PROPOSE
TON

The proposition submitted to the
Board of Public Works by the Ameri-
can Seeding Company providing for
the vacation of North Fourteenth
street from street to the tracks of
the Pennsylvania System, in order to
afford room for increasing the Hoosier
plants capacity If accepted and fav-
orably acted upon, ought to be Of
great benefit to Richmond. The
proposition, which has been present
ed In straight forward fashion allow
ing not even the slightest suspicion
of trickery or intentional deceit, def
nitely states that If the street in ques
ton be vacated the American Seeding
Company will at once close contracts
with contractors, and the new addition
to the plant, barring unexpected de-
lays, will be under roof before the end
of the year. The proposed addition
will cost In the neighborhood of $780,
900, and will afford employment for
from three to four hundred more lab
orers. Three hundred or four humid
red laborers together with their famil-
les will mean an increase in popula-
ton for Richmond of about one thous-
and souls, fact which should be TAX
en- to heart by those ambitious to see
our city grow in size and in the num-
Der of inhabitants. Then there is
another point to consider Richmond
today is essentially a manufacturing
city, and its prosperity depends al
most altogether on its various factor
les. Therefore 1t is clearly Richmond
duty to do everything in it's power to
promote and encourage the expansion
of any industry located here. The
proposed closing of Fourteenth street
will occasion very little damage to
anyone else concerned, as it will simp-
ly divert traffic to Thirteenth street or
to Fifteenth street. Furthermore the
American Seeding Company has a
greed to settle all damages itself, re-
lieving the city from all responsible
ity. 1t is to be hoped that PROPOSE
ton of such undoubted benefit to
Richmond will be accepted

BRICK EXPLAINS VOTE
HAS BEEN misunderstood
Indiana Congressman Believes That
Money Used For Seeds Could Be
Better Applied to Making Expert
ments in New Fruit Trees.
Publishers Press1

Washington, D. c., May 10.-Repre
sentative Brick, of Indiana, who voted
against the free seed distribution says
that his vote was misunderstood by
many persons. He is not against the
idea of distributing seeds to the far
mers, and he has done his share along
with the other members of the House
and Senate. But he thinks that the
money and distribution could be made
in better and more progressive way.
Mr.. Brick says that the government
spends for garden and flower seeds
between 100000 and 100000 each
year. This amount Of money includes
the purchase of seeds, pays the en-
ployes for packing them, ranking
them through the mails and pays for
the railroad expenses in sending them
out broadcast over the country. He is
not in favor of sending out seeds of
the common variety, but favors send
ing out new. and rare plants, trees and
seeds that are best adapted to the soil
and would add to the cultivation of
crops not now commonly known and
USED Dy FARMERS In various parts OF
the United States.
He believes that a part of the fund
could be we'll used by the department
in experimental purposes and then
give the people something new. The
old kind of seeds any one can get ev-
erywhere. He says that right now the
Agricultural department is working
secretly on cultivating a new species
of pear in this country, which will
keep as we'll as apples through a sea-
son. If this be accomplished it will
work wonders in the fruit business of
the United States. Mr.. Brick con.
tends that the department ought to
have a part of his money for just this
sort of work

The eastern statisticans find that In

and that in the production OF canned
tomatoes Indiana, among the western
states, has had a most notable rise
and she is now next to Maryland. Della

gaining almost in proportion, although
Ohio is sharing the benefit. Illinois,

AS TO HOUSE CLEANING.

Some of the Democratic papers who
rally to the defense Of Taggartism are
advising Republican house cleaning
before attention is called to Democra-
tic dirt. The Republicans are amply
able to do their own house cleaning
and this has been done most effective
ly within the past year. 1t is far more
important to the people to keep the
Republican party clean than it is to
attempt to reform the Democratic
party. The cause of Democracy is
hopeless, and the people may be de-
pended upon to see that it never gets
into power-Greenfield Tribune.
