two companies the public, largely in
Philadelphia, dropped upward of $780,

In nearly every suicide caused by
wildcat finance, attempts have been
made to suppress the facts. as

innate acquaintanceship. Three or four
years ago, he suddenly disappeared ana
it was announced that he was an en-
bezzler for large sum. \ general be-
lief grew up that he had gone to Hon
duras. Whatever ground there was for
this belief is now probably forgotten
That is one of the few countries from
which Vice could not have been extra
dited on the charge made against him
From time to time there came APP
parently circumstantial accounts of his
being in the Honduran capital. Most
of those who had any interest in the
case believed that he was there.
But he was not. Instead of going to
Honduras he had gone to the little
town of MADEIRA in the San Joaquin
Valley, and there started a collection
agency, and afterwards was admitted
to practice law in the lower courts.
MADEIRA is on a main line of travel.
Scores of those who knew him in San
Francisco saw him. The only disguise
he adopted was to wear a full beard
instead of a smooth face Here he liv-
ed and made living, entering into the
life of the town, and becoming a we'll
liked citizen.
A few weeks ago his identity was
discovered, and he is now having a
preliminary hearing on the charges
against him. His defense is that no
embezzlement was committed, the re-
lation between him and his former en-
ployer being simply that of debtor and
creditor.
What a contrast this to Stensland of
Chicago who FASTENED away to Tan
gier, putting thousand of miles of land
and ocean between himself and those
he had wronged, and being so speedily
found and brought back. Safety is not
always in the long flight.
