INDICTED FOR FORGERY.
Three Brooklyn Financiers Arrested
and Released Under Bond.

New York, Nov. 27.-John G. Jen-
kins, Jr., until recently president of
the Jenkins Trust company of Brook
lyn; Frank jenkins, deposed head of
the Williamsburg Trust company, and
Fred Jenkins, formerly a director of
the latter institution, have been joint
ly indicated for forgery in the third
degree.
The indicted men are brothers and
the charge against them grew out Of
loans made the brokerage firm of F.
and J. G. Jenkins, Jr., & Co. by the
Jenkins Trust company. The transac-
lions were disclosed during the eXami-
nation of the trust company's books
made by the state banking depart
ment after the institution had sus-
pended. These revelations, with 9TH
ers, brought about the receivership
and later were laid before the Kings
county grand jury, which has con-
cerned itself with banking Irregular
ties in Brooklyn.
The three men indicted were ar
raigned and after entering pleas of not
guilty We're released, each under a
bond of $4,000.
The Jenkinses are jointly indicted
on four counts alleging that they
caused false entries to be made in the
books of the Jenkins Trust company
whereby loans made by the trust COM
pany to the president, in excess of
what he could have legally secured as
an officer Of the institution, We're made
to appear as loans to employees of the
firm of F. and j. G. Jenkins, Jr., & Co.
The specific charge against Former
President Jenkins is that a certain
part of the $4,000 secured as loan
from the trust company on Oct. 1, and
standing in the names of several
clerks of F. and j. G. Jenkins. Jr., &
Co., was in reality a loan to him, and
that the whole amount had been
loaned to him and his firm and not to-
the clerks to whom it was nominally

Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov 26.-The
State bank at Clinton was held up and
robbed of $4,000 in coin by two men,
who made their escape. 1t was just a
few minutes after closing time when
the men appeared in the bank and
with drawn revolvers forced Assistant
Cashier George Argo, Cashier Murphy
and Bookkeeper John Young to enter
the big vault, which they locked. The
bulk of the money had already been
placed in the currency safe of the
vault and the time lock set, but 81, 200
in gold and silver remained on the
counter. This the robbers shoveled
into a bag and took with them to the
Hotel Renion, where they had pre-
viously engaged a room. They had
arranged the money in rolls so that
it could be easily carried and were
just about to leave the hotel when Of.
fcers learned of their presence and
attempted to break in the door.
Before they succeeded, however, the
robbers jumped from a window on to
an adjoining roof, taking $7e@. IN gold
and leaving $1,000 in silver in the
room 1t was dark when the men es-
capped from the hotel and all trace Of
them was lost A posse was orga-
nized and the country is being
secured.
Before the highwaymen left the
bank building they called up the tele-
phone operator and requested her to
send some one to the bank and re-
lease the three bank officials impris-
oned in the vault. Charles Parker
collector for the bank, was the only
person who knew the combination to
the vault and after a short search he
was found and hurried to the assis.
lance of the imprisoned men, When
Parker opened the vault door the
three men were almost suffocated.
Two men suspected of being the
Clinton bank robbers have been ar
rested, one at Kenney and the other
at Spaulding. They are being taken

THE CENSUS IN CUBA.
Said to Be Actually an Enforced Reg
istration of Voters.

Havana, Nov. 25.-With the compile
ton of enumeration of the population
OF Cuba, there has been accomplished
the first step in the direction of the
termination of the American interven-
ton and the establishment of the
Cuban republic.
While officially described as cen
sus, this enumeration was actually an
enforced registration of voters, the de-
termination of the population of the
island being of scant Importance COM
pared to that of registering all per-
sons entitled to the electoral franchise,
in order to insure the purity of the
election of the next Cuban president.
No pains have been spared to accom-
plish this, but the results probably will
not be known for some weeks.
An estimate by one of the most &C.
complished statisticans in the service
of the provisional government places
the population of the island at 2,000,-
600, OF which about 100000 are for
eigners not entitled to the franchise.
In estimating the voting population.
the election of 1905, owing to its
grossly fraudulent character, affords
no ground for comparison, but accord
ing to the registration of the election
of 1904 there were 301, 593. 1t is i'm
probable that the present census will
show any marked difference in these
figures. The provinces of Havana,
Santa Clara and Camaguey were the
Liberal strOngholds and probably are
now. They then contained about $780,
900 voters. The indications are that
there has been no great change
in the political complexion of the
of Pinar Del Rio, where the influence
of the Pine Guerra, the military lead
er of the last uprising, is very great.
Even to speculate on the outcome OF
the next election is futile, owing to the
confusion consequent on the dissen-
sions in the Liberal party and the un-
defined attitude of the Conservatives.
The Liberal party is hopelessly divid-
ed between the followers of Jose Mi
guei Gomez and Alfredo Zayas, and an
excellent opportunity is offered for the
Conservatives to organize and nomi-
nate a leader who will command the
respect of the country, the active sup
port of the best native element inter
ests and the moral support of the great
foreign property interests. Should
they obtain the consent of such a man
as General Mario Menocal to run for
the presidency there can hardly be
any doubt that he would attract a
great following from the better class
of Liberals and be elected His per-
sonal business interests are such,
however, that it is very doubtful
whether he could be tempted to enter
the presidential arena.

COAL SHORTAGE PROBABLE

shortage in the East is repC: ted as

eral weeks, during which receipts here
have been light. Coal has been COM
ing here in punched quantities for the
past few days. A large number of
cargoes would be received on one day
and then days would pass with but
few. This has caused the belief to
spread that coal was being rushed in
here in great quantities, but such has
not been the actual case.
