MISSING SECURITIES LOCATED.
Cashier Walker Disposed of Them to
Brokerage Houses.

New York. Feb. 1S.-It is stated to-
day that most of the securities stolen
from the New Britain Savings bank by
William F. Walker, it's former treas
urer, have been located. Most of them
have been found with reputable
brokerage houses and efforts are now
being made for their restoration to the
Connecticut institution.
Walker. it is understood. disposed of
about 100000 worth of the securities
a few days before he vanished from
the Hotel Cumberland, and he is be-
lieved to have had large amount of
cash when he departed.
officials of the bank had lengthy
conference last night at the Waldorf
Astoria. with Noah Cornwell Rogers,
attorney for the bank. II will say
only this said Mr.. Rogers. 1--WE are
making every possible effort to locate
Mr.. Walker and we have hope of sue
ceeding. To tell all we know of the
case would not aid in our search and
so we have decided to work secretly. :"
1t IS known that persons interested
in the case expect that Walker will be
located within a week. They scout
the idea that he committed suicide and
believe he left New York in disguise.

BREWER ON THE NEGRO
Religion the Factor to Make Them a
Valuable Asset

New York. Feb. 1S.-Justice David
j. Brewer of the United States SUI
preme court told the congregation in
the Broadway tabernacle yesterday
that in his opinion. religion was the
principal factor by which the negroes
of the south could be converted into a
valuable asset of the nation
we know that there is ignorance.
criminality and immortality among the
negroes" he said, "and it remains with
US to change present conditions so that
the negro will become helpful factor
in our civilization and progress.
Il believe that there is a divine
Providence which will so shape our
history that the negro will be a help
full factor. We must all assist in
bringing about this end. Industrial
development, cleanliness, education
and other benevolent and useful things
are good for the negro, but I believe
nothing will help him so much as the
influence of the cross of Christ, and
nothing will SO move him to being
good and useful citizen as the gospel
of the Prince of Peace

One Chorus Girl Wouldn't Have An

New York, Feb. 1S.-Has a girl in the

one of the principals? And if her dress
is duplicated does she cease to be a
gentlewoman if she tears the offending
duplication from the shoulders of the

dressing rooms at Days.
THE Belle of Mayfair is playing at
the theater. 1t was this piece that
caused the temperature to drop in the
vicinity of Camille Clifford and Edna
May in London. Miss Clifford married
a real duke and Miss May left the cast
because she became jealous of the at
tention Miss Clifford received in the
large type on the billboards.
The row in Days, however, is not be-
tween principals, but between Miss Va
leska Surratt and Miss jeanette Hor-

one she herself had on.

that the floor was Uttered with pieces
