Thirteen Bankers in One Iail.

Thirteen rich eX bankers locked up
in jail. Such is the spectacle pre-
sented at Leavenworth, Kan, where
the United States Penitentiary draws
interesting recruits from various com
monwe alths. The high fnancie rs
conspicuous on the Leavenworth rolls.
dressed in the prison gray, wearing
each his penitentiary number and
getting no privileges for his accom-
plishments in money matters, are
these:
John P. Cooper, McGregor, Tex. :,
who loaned the First National Bank 5
money over the limit to cotton spe-
culators.
Justus l.. Broderick, Wilson &.
Collins, Walter Brown, former presi-
dent, cashier and director of the First
National Bank, Elkhart, Ind.
Alfred G. Parker, ex cashier First
National Bank, Bedford, Ind.
Cyrus E. McCrady, ex cashier First
National Bank, Seymour, Ind. An
excellent man at the Bertillon
measurements.
Robert B, Taylor, bank forger, from
Missouri, transferred from Jefferson
City.
James H. Wood, another former
cashier from Indiana.
Frank G. Biglow, former president
of First National Bank of Milwaukee,
who used S3,000,00 not exactly his
own.
Henry G. Coll, ex cashier of said
Bigelow's bank will be released in
1918, year after his superior.

the detectives chase to South Africa.
Francis B. Wright, former national

These financiers are employed in
various clerkships about the peniten-
tiary. Their sole distinction in prison
treatment lies in their being SO placed
in the DINING room that prisoners
from the shops shall not rub against
them, imparting such CRIME of toll as
might afterward be transferred to the
prison books the bankers keep.

Daily Suspends Publ
cation.

An important newspaper change IN
kennebec county is announced. The
Waterville Evening Mail has ceased
independent publication and been
merged with the Kennebec Journal.
He .bert c. Libby, the former editor
of the mail is to have charge of the
interests of the Journal in Water
vile and adjoining towns, and it
is proposed to give particular atten
ton TO that part of the field. The
subscription lists of the Mail have
been taken over by the Journal, and
the Subscribers will hereafter re-
ceive the morning paper The Even
ing Mail was established in 1895. At
ter an existence of twelve years it
passes, and along with it the old
Waterville Mail, which has had a
much longer career as a weekly. But
the old Mail is not to 60 altogether,
for the five weeklies heretofore pub
lished by Mr.. Libby in several coun-
ties have been consolidated and will
here after appear under the name of
the Weekly Mail. Mr.. Libby has is
sued bright, clean paper, and it is
gratifyin ing to learn that the craft is
not to lose him. The arrangement is
no doubt for the best interests of all
conce rned.
