difference.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Clothiers didn't jump the fence until
the ninth, the game was certainly d
hard one, In the first the long hornS

NOT RESPONSIBLE,
MONEY PASSED HIM,
He FIRMLY SAYS
Man Accused BY Ameri-
can National ReleaS-
ed on Bond.

Emphatically denying his guilt,
Thomas G. Hayes, for three years
receiving teller of the American Ma
tional Bank, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on warrant charging
him with the embezzIement OF
S535.32 from that institution
From the Bond building, where
the arrest was made in the office Of
his attorney, H. Winship Wheatley,
Hayes was taken to Police Head
quarters. Bond was later secured
in the sum of $500. c. J. Butler,
the accused mans personal friend,
was his surety.
In making his denial, Hayes init
mated that some other empIoye of
the bank might be responsible for
the missing money.
Banker Ten Years.
Hayes has a beautiful young wife.
about whom he refused to converse in
any way when questioned regarding
her. He is twenty-five years of age
and has been in the banking business
about ten years. He has worked in
New York. Chicago, and other Western
cities.
Detectives Warren. AIullin, Barbee.
and Vermnlion served the warrant on
Hayes, who was taken Immediately to
Police Headquarters, where he denied all
knowledge Of the cash.
Robert n. Harper, president OF the
bank who sWore out the warrant on
which Hayes was arrested. said last
evening that Hayes had been under sus-
picion for about a week or ten davs.
and that 1t was decided to attempt to
trap the man in his alleged defalcations.
Accordingly, James T. Shea, member
of the board Of directors, sent an en-
ploye to the bank with s535.32, which
the latter deposited with Hayes. This
took place shortly before noon Thurs
day. and when. on the same evening. it
was discovered that Hayes had made
no entry on the books OF the bank In
favor OF the depositor, the. officials de-
cided TO make an investigation OF the
affair.
Books Examined.
He said an examination of the books
led the cfhcials TO believe Hayes was
the man responsible for the loss. and
when he appeared at the Offices for
work Friday morning. December 13, hs
was called into the office Of Presiden-
Harper and asked if he could explain
the shortage. Hayes denied all knowI-
edge OF the affair. and. according to
President Harper. made the request
that he be allowed To 20 TO some other
place to talk over The case. as he didn't
want The other clerks in the bank 70
have knowledge or the charge against
him.

CLEVELAND, Chic, Dec. Give
are passing through strange expe-

propositions with respect TO great
business transactions are whistIed
down the wind if they do not hap
pen to suit the excited fancy of a
lot Of self-eonstituted representa-
tives of an alleged moral regenera-
tion of the business world. All Of
this is unnatural, unwarranted, and
injurious, and We are now paying
the penalty"
In these striking words United
States Senator J. B. Foraker, Presi-
Dental candidate and an openly
avowed opponent of the Roosevelt
policies, raped the Administration
over the knuckles at a banquet to-
night, given by the Merchants Ma
rine League.

Raps the Rate Law.

He attributed TO the railroad rate law
the chief responsibility for the trouble
a measure which he characterized as
absurd, impractical. unnecessary. and
unwise.
The trouble is not due to a scarcity
Of currency he declared; FOR we have
more money and better money today
than ever before It is not due to over
speculation nor to inflated prices. for
there has not been anything unreason-
ably extravagant in either respect. It
is not due to a conspiracy OF rich men
to bankrupt themselves and the whole
country for political purposes"
he said that calumny was he reward
of all who offered proper reasons why
the law should not be enacted. NO
matter what the consequence" he ex-
claimed. "a new leaf must be turned; +;
not only the railroads. but everything
else that was successful must be put
under surveillance and be hedged about
by laws that restricted rather than reg
ulated- 1t was useless to predict con-
sequences. No one would heed, but at
last these consequences are upon us.

MEANING OF explode" CHANGED
Formerly Meant to Send Out From
Actors Exploded

Explosive" was first used in it's mod
ern sense in the first quarter of the nine
teenth century. Explode" in the sense
of "blow up or $50 off" is scarcely
century older.
Before that people talked of ball be
ing "exploded' from a gun, the clouds
Exploding" lightning, or a volcano Eek
ploding" lava. But that was very much
near the words original sense of driv-
ing away with scorn.
"Explode," in fact, is literally to clap
away, and was technical word for drlV-
ing an actor off the stage by contemp,,
tuous handclapping. That is the real
meaning of an exploded idea"
