POTTS STILL ELUDES OFFICERS.
Efforts 20 Locate Missing Bank
Clerk Futile Thus Far.

Omcials of the American National Bank
and the police department said yesterday
that they had received no trace Of Z. II.
Potts. for whom a warrant has been is
sued. accusing him of the theft Of securi-
ties worth Sl1.000 from the bank.
After the failure TO locate Potts at Tue
son, Ariz., the police hoped TO get some
clew TO tho whereabouts of the fleeing
clerk on the Pacific Coast but up to last
night nothing had been heard OF him. II
was suggested at police headquarters that
the letter from tho Baltimore bank. re-
ceived IN Arizona, may have been the
means of putting Potts upon his guard,
and It IS thought that he may have al
tered his journey. 1t was said yesterday
that the advisability OF flooding the Pa
cihc Coast cities with circulars descrip-
tive of the missing clerk, and also send
ing them TO Mexico and Canada, IS under
advisement.
1t was learned yesterday that Potts had
a conversation with the president of the
Manassas National Bank with reference
to the sale Of certain securities which
he held. He did not have the securities
with him at the time, and did not tell
the president Of the bank what they
were. HIS proposition was not given
much encouragement by the Manassas
bank official. and it is thought that Potts
decided it was not worth while to show
his hand further with that bank 1t Is
also supposed that the securities ne
sought TO dispose of were some of those
taken from the American National Bank.

pleasantly, when suddenly the latter

Il have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for

YOU the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are mighty dry source Of news. You
may have nose for news, but |
doubt it; at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when newspaper man
