Sails Tomorrow
To Get Banker"
In Holland.
MAY CONTEST.

Lawyer Stephen F. Somogyi, of
this city, has been named by Prose
cutor Berdine to go to Holland and
bring Joseph Deutsch, the abscond-
ing banker of this city back to
this country, and he will leave at /
o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. The
steamer will land Mr. Somogyi at
Cherebourg, France, whence he will
go by rail to The Hauge, Holland,
where Deutsch is now held.
1t has been learned that the Aus
trian government has contested the
right to hold Deutsch, claiming that
he is not the man wanted in this
country and that he is one of that
country's subjects. Mr.. Somogyi
will depend on the American minister
at The Hague and, if necessary, coun-
sci will be employed to contest the
right to bring the prisoner to this
country. The warrant for Deutschs
extradition has been issued by the
state department at Washington and
the necessary papers were delivered
to Mr. Somogyi by the prosecutor to-
day
Mr.. Somogyi is the county court in
terpreter at New Brunswick and it
is understood that the reason he was
chosen to make the journey was on
account of his knowledge of the Ian
guage and of his acquaintance with
Deutsch. Mr.. Somogyi is busy to-
day preparing for his trip, which will
take about three weeks.
Deutsch will be taken to New
Brunswick when he is landed in this
country.

SAVES $4,000 FROM
SALARY OF $50 A MONTH

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 12. -
That it is possible to save money on a
comparatively small salary and lay
aside "snug sum" for old age, was
exemplified in the life of Roger Nc
Cormack who for many years had been
working as janitor and night watch
man in a downtown building.
Mccormack died at the Presbyterian
hospital, leaving a will disposing of
10000. Being a bachelor and man
of quiet habits, Mccormack kept most
of his affairs to himself, not even con-
fidng in his relatives No one had any
inkling that the janitor was compare
lively independent financially and the
discovery that he had money was
therefore a great surprise to all, who
knew him.
Last week Mr.. Currier found him ly-
ing on the floor, apparently in great
pain. He complained of his stomach.
He was taken to the Presbyterian
hospital, where his niece. Elizabeth
Mccormack. who is employed in the
laundry of the hospital, could Took
in" at him. Elizabeth ana her brother,
Matthew, are the children of McCor-
mack's only brother and the two are
his only relatives in America. His
two relatives learned that they. with
their father in Ireland, were to be the
joint beneficaries of their uncle's will.
