asked
"Poof," was the reply. HE may go
as far as he likes"
William Nelson Cromwell counsel for
the assignee of the assigned firm, would
not talk of the legal aspects concerning
extradition.
However" said Mr. Cromwell. "you
gentlemen may rest assured that we
have put in motion the forces that we
consider best calculated 10 bring Slveira
to justice. We have acted promptly and,
we hope, effectively, and are not de-
spondent over the outcome. We have
engaged the best detective forces in the
world.
William s. Safomuu & Co, it became
known. had lent $1,000 to Ceballos g. Co.
This loan. it was said at the offices OF the
firm. was made on collateral amply se-
curing the loan.
The special partner in Silveira's bank
ing house was Jose Beola. the wealthest
man in Cuba, and one OF the most prom
inent Ceballos & Co, expressly and
emphatically OF knowledge OF Slveira' s
transaction. on the other hand, he Is
doing everything in his power to
straighten matters out for the suspended
firm. Late this afternoon the firm re-
ceived this cablegram from him;
'T find the deficit 81, 100000. Outside La
bilities OF the firm are 100000. Letters
received from Manuel dated FIVE days
after sailing on Carmelina state that his
destination Is unknown"
The 100000 deficit applies to the loss
OF Cebalos e. Co. the $20O. 900. II Is be-
lleved. 10 business transactions OF vari-
Gus kinds in Cuba, William Nelson Crom-
we'll said he considered that the letters
from Manuel had been left by him In
trusty hands 10 he turned over to his
partner as soon as he had had time To
get far away from there.
The incident supplies extraordinarily
strong corrboration Of the theory that
silveira' plans were carefully laid To take
his family. his friends and his own and
other peoples money to a place where he
might live IN luxury and In safety.

GOOD MEN MUST
Be DEMOCRATS
SAYS SULLIVAN

IT insist" said Edward NJ. Sullivan in
an interview today that so long as the
Republican party organization in Rhode
Island is controlled by boss whose
wages and expenses are paid by the fran
chise-holding corporations I'm order that
the Republican party may deliver to them
property stolen from the state. no man
having the intelligence 10 distinguish be-
tween right and wrong and a conscience
10 guide him to the right instead OF TO
the wrong can be anything else than a
Democrat, no matter what he may call
himself
mo such man can support the Republi-
can machine with its coarse and brutal
disregard of all the sacred principles of
government dear TO every patriotic Amer
lean citizen and no such man can really
oppose the Republican machine I'm any
other way than through support OF the
only instrument available 10 accomplish
its defeat-the Democdatic party.
we have come to a condition where
the government OF Rhode Island repre-
sents the franchised corporation bond
holders, not the men who work I'm mill
and factory, on farm and field, or I'm any
Of the pursuits OF manual labor
Rhode Island can stand a government
by a few. If those few are honest and
acting for the best interests OF the whole
people but the state cannot always stand
such government when those few are
dishonest and corrupt and acting In a
manner harmful to the common interests
Of the people who make Rhode Island a
state"

oh, where are the grannies Of long
ago,
The kind that we find in books,
Who loved to sit and knit all day
In the sheltered ingle hooks?
They are always CARRIED in softest
gray,
Wore their hair in soft, little curIs,
And had generous pockets Of pepper,
minis
For good little boys and girls!
They read Pilgrims Progress" and
Bakers saint Rest"
And oh, twas variety rare
To don best cap and go out to tea,
Or play at two-hand solitaire!
This is, at least, what the story books
say.
Now where are those grannies Of yes

All grandmothers now refuse to grow
gray .
Or old; at the years they mock;
Hair dressed in pompadour trim fig
ure hooked
Into a smart Princess frock!
CARRIED la chauffeuce, she runs her
own ear,
Young as the youngest herself.
In fact, matrimony may snare her

For grandma won't stay on the

To amuse her by day until dinner.
Then "bride" until morning, and a
