DECLINE OF BANK eUs sLARY
Combustion Of Bankers Has Driven
Professionals from a Lucrative
Field.

Previous to 1896 there was sel-
Tom a year that the losses through
bank burgiaries did not amount to
100000, and in a number of years
the losses amounted to several times
that amount. The decline of profess
sional bank burglary dates from
1895. In that year the American
Bankers association formed a pro
tectiye committee for the extermina-
ton of bank burglars, and a contract
was entered into with m of the
leading detective agencies in the
0ountry.
In 1895 the banks of the country
lost more than $2a0,O00 through
burelaries. OF the 1888 members
last year, having an aggregate sur
plus, capital and deposits of more
Than 81, 500, 0OO, 900, only. four
members suffered losses from bur
e~laries. the total loss Of these four
members amon1tins to only $4,s17.

Did VERY
LITTLE GOOD
Congress Took Up Most of Its
Time Before Xmas Adjournment
In TaIk...ExtenSive Plans.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Con-
gress stands adjourned until after the
holidays without having accomplished
ANYTHING in the way of legislation,
previous to its close. This is simply
recurrence of the annual reminder
that it would be far better if the date
for the opening of the lawmaking
branch of the country's government
were the first Monday in January in
stead of the first Monday in Decem-
ber.
The leaders, however, have had
their heads together, and have map
ped out in broad and comprehensive
way what congress will do when 1t
gets down to business after the
Christmas festivities are over and for
gotten. The congressional leaders
have habit of deciding in advance
what the legislative program shall be,
and the first intimation the ordinary
congressman has of it is when he
reads about it in the newspapers.
Speaker Cannon, of course, is the
leader of leaders in the house. What
he says goes. When Uncle Joe, rep
resenting the house, and Senators
Aldrich. Allison and Hale, represent
ing the senate, agree as to what shall
be done or what shall not be done,
there is practically nothing left for
the everyday congressman to do eX-
cept toe the mark.
These men, pre-eminent as direct
ors of legislation, are in harmonious
agreement ON all essential features
of the legislative program. The fol-
lowing are some of the conclusions
unanimously reached by the manag-
ers of legislation:
First-There shall be no pork
bills of any kind OR description.
Second-There shall be no legisla-
ton imposing further restrictions on
immigration.
Third-There shall be no legisa-
ton for postal savings banks or a
parcels post.
Fourth-There shall be no finan-
cial legisla ton except possibly very
simple bill providing for emergency
currency, with a heavy tax to retire
it when the financial stress that calls
it out is over.
The decision to throttle all pork
bills means that the Indiana public
building bills will still be slumberine
in committee when the gavel falls foI
the last time on adjournment day
1t also sounds the death knell to all
measures for river and harbor i'm
provements that carry appropriations
Although the Pacific slope mem
bers are displaying great vigor in de-
manding that a Japanese exclusion
bill be passed, the legislative man

Nevada who was indicted recently by
the federal grand jury, was arrested
yesterday and placed under $1,000
bonds in the United States district
court for his appearance in Nevada
January 4, Hardin and A. w. Riley
of Santa Rosa are accused of unlaw-
fully seizing and inclosing 6,954
acres of government land. Riley was
visited by United States Deputy Mar
shal Lynch yesterday, but owing to
his critical illness the warrant for his
arrest was not served.
Riley is nearly so years old, and
his physician was afraid that Il sud
den shock might kill him.
The land in question extends on
both sides of the Truckee river, and
many cattlemen in that district have
complained to the government that
the Hardin cattle company so fenced
in the land tina was impossible for
them to use the stream for watering
their stock. Hardin denied all know
ledge of the erection of the fences,
and said tnat they we're built before
the company.

THREE TIED
IN CONTEST
Guesses of the Trio We're Only Off
0ne.FOurth of Pound on Beef
Weisht---Mayor Clark Way Off.

A few persons in Ely are good
hook Mayor Clark is not one of
these. This fact was brought out
yesterday morning when two range
fed beeves which had been exhibited
for several days before the Ely Meat
company's shop were taken from l1e
place of honor they had occupied,
and were weighed, to decide the Win
ners of the guessing contest which
had been inaugurated just before
Christmas by the management of the
Ely Meat company.
The beeves weighed respectively
772% pounds and 71S pounds, max
ing a total of 1909 pounds. There
were three persons who guessed with
ing three fourths of pound of the
actual weight of the carcasses. They
were II. b. Nelson, j. l.. Turner and
Myrtle Fulmer. AS only one 10
pound turkey is to be given away as
the prize. the three persons named
will meet at the shop today and draw
lots for the prize.
Among others who guessed close to
the mark were Frank Blake, Mrs.
Wade, w. n. Bowen and II. Good
man, each guessing 1892 pounds.
Another guess which was within
shooting distance of the prize was
that of Russell Moy1e, who guessed
| 4SS pounds. Two guessed that the
beeves would weigh 1887 y pounds.
They were J. p. Dairy and j. Aber-
nathy.
Mayor Clark proved that he was
not good Judge of weights, by
guessing 3770 pounds, the highest
guess made, while l.. C. Jones guess
ed $50. Other guesses which were
entirely out of range were as fol-
lows; A. J. Stevens, 2350 pounds;
Thomas Powell, 3700 pounds; George
Acocks, 300 pounds. Justice of the
peace A. J. Cartwright, who was one
of those selected to scan the guesses,
placed his faith on 1868 pounds.
The judges of the contest were
Justice of the peace A. J. Cartwright.
Roy W. Schenck and Gordon H.
Place. The guesses attracted much
attention, and AS persons made
hazards during the few days the
beeves were on exhibition.
