Mckown, a local agent for Fairbanks,

night on advices from Webster City,
Iowa, on a charge of arson and en-
bezzlement. He has admitted that he
is the same man the Iowa authorities
name in the warrant. In Webster city
he was the manager and secretary OF
the Northwestern Felt Shoe Company.
He denies that he embezzled any OF
the funds of the company, or that he
was responsible for the fire which de-
stroyed the factory. He says he Is

Kown, former manager of the ill-fated
Northwestern Felt Shoe Company OF
this city, who Is charged not only with
tile financial wrecking of the concern,
but also the burning of the big plant
had been arrested in Bakersfield, Cal,
upon indictments made in this city
nearly four years ago.
The meteoric career of the man
reads like dime novel with whirl-
wind finish, the plot Of which revolves
about the story of a COOL calculating,
smooth, fearless, diplomatic, resource
full and absolutely cold-blooded hero,
who, in the brief space of but little
more than a year, assumes manage
ment of a 100000 factory, by forgery
robs the company of some $4,000 to
$4,000, runs it upon the financial
shoals, wrecks it completely and with
the utmost concern, and then to hide
this train of crime, fires the plant,
burning it to the ground with every
vestage of machinery, stock and the
books.

GEORGETOWN INDIFFERENT.
Lack of Interest in the Crews Pros

The conditions surrounding Georgetown's
desire to maintain crew and be properly
represented at the Poughkeepsie interna-
ional regatta are, to say the least. not the
brightest and the whole trouble lies In the
lack of that greatest necessity, college
spirit.
This lack of interest is not shared by the

ISOLATION proper, but 1t is among the student
body Manager John McH Stuart and
Capt. Billy Rice will not give up, however,
and they bend every effort to get the
students of the several departments warm
ed up to the subject. The current issue of
the Georgetown College Journal goes after
the siothfui in this manner:

supported with more zeal than 1t Is at

With but few sets yet to be rolled, Bow
sher Of the Navy Yard team, who has
bowled his first full season in the De-
partmental League, appears to have clinch-
ed the championship. Two weeks ago he

years champion. by four points, and in the
Sailors three matches he has maintained
his vantage. Bowsher also holds high set
of 666.

boys, who, off to a bad start. are coming

selves and the net proceeds Of all these 20
toward supporting the crew.
In addition to this the resources of the
college store and the constant drains on the
alumni are necessary to keep the navy out
OF debt. And what Is the reason of such
an effort? 1t Is because rowing Is the only
recognized clean sport; 1t Is the sport of
gentlemen, and ringers are unheard of In
its ranks. The alumni. despite all dis
couraging results, have fought to keep the
crew on a firm basis. They have recognized
the Importance and benefit of aquatics, and
in consequence have been forward in their
support, both moral and financial They
have backed the crew from It's infancy.
And what are the results? Not more than
sixteen regular candidates have appeared
for daily practice. Last year sixty men re-
ported on the first squad, and the outcome
at Poughkeepsie was not startling. But
what kind of a crew can be expected from
sixteen men?'
The article was a singing rebuke to the
students, and that Ii had a good effect is
recognized by the fact that the squad now
numbers twenty-seven. The crew will be
seen on the Hudson this year. but as the
article says. aquatics will soon become de-
funct IL such a quality Of support Is given.
