HIGH FINANCIER
 COMES TO GRIEF
ABRAHAM WHITE, WHO BID ON $18,0oo,ooo OF NEW YORK CITY BONDS, LOSES HIS POSITION. BID TURNED DOWN.

New York, September 15.-(Specia1.) J. Abraham White. whose meteoric bid for s1S,Ooo.oO0 of the new city bond issue was turned down by Comptroller Metz because of the failure of the Greater New York Security company to pay over Its ss00,OOO draft, Is no longer president of the Uni ted Wireless Telegraph company.
 It developed today that White had been deposed from the presidency of that cor poration several months ago, and that he only holds 60,ooo shares of American De Forest Wireless Telegraph company stock. The United Wireless was organized by White and had s2o. 900 capitaliza- tion, half of which was preferred and half common stock.
 As a holding company 1t took over the stock of the American De Forest Wire less, the Atlantic Wireless, De Forest Wireless, Oriental and Occidental Wire less companies.
 White Is still president of the American De Forest Wireless and of the Atlantic Wireless, but 1t was stated yesterday he will lose his presidencies at the next meetings of their respective boards, when the United Wireless will absorb them.
 At present the United, according to S. S. Bogart, its treasurer, controls all but 11S shares of the 200. 900 shares of At lantic, and four-fifths of the 10000 shares of American De Forest.
 Stories published to the effect that White had disappeared because of efforts on the part of the United States officers to serve him with subpoenas in an action brought to prove that he had converted the assets of the wireless corporations to his own use and had ruined the stock holders were disproven today when White appeared in the city and made public answer to the charges made against him.
 He boasted that he was once wont to secure loans from the late Russell Sage and declared with great positiveness that he would bid on every issue of city bonds as long as he lives.
 Nevertheless the wizard of the bond market, who once astonished the coun- try by securing 100000 of United States 4s, failed to clearly explain why his $500, 900 was not properly certified.

PoPE'S ENcYcLIcAL.
Declaration Is Made In Support of
 Scientific Progress.

Rome, September 15.-(Special Cable.)- On Monday night will appear one of the most important documents of the pres ent pontificate, rivaling in interest even the decrees of the last vatican council. It Is a long encyclical defining the atti- tude of the Catholic church toward the latest scientific developments.
 The Pope declares that tue church, in- stead of opposing science. eagerly well comes all true scientific progress, know ing that this cannot contradict but will rather confirm Christian revelations.
 Pope Plus. however. condemns vigor- ously the alleged vagaries of the false re- ligious science called modernism, laying down the true principles oS Catholic teaching concerning scientific criticism of the Bible and the nature of ecclesiastical authority.

WY. Dreamer Gets 0n
 Snbject 0f Baseball
BY JAMES B. KEELING.

Holy smoke chuckled the man with the y>agging eaas my brain feels like 1t had foated about on an ocean of ago ny for a year without a compass. A a rule follow along the path of common. sensible men, but vocal tbursts two crazy baseball fans twisted my dreams like a corkscrew the other night and presented me with a glimpse of the land of terror which leaves only shudders as a remembrance.
 Back to town 1 was roaming, spraw1ed on the seat of a shaky electric car. which bounced on it's springs and lurched about as if 1t were trying to go in all seven di- rections at the same time. This bound ing motion was very pleasant for the first two or three seconds after boarded the car. but when my small bay windows be- gan houncing in perfect time with the bounce of the car 1t caused a reversal of sentiment.
 This juggling and o',rpng baui keft up for several minutes and l was quickly beginning to feel like too much was plenty when to add to all this dscom- fort two loose tongue freaks boarded the car and took the seat behind me. They had evidently been talking baseball, for liiIleIldltlN upon pelHB Sedleu they plG,-ed into the very depths of it. Darn TO, >ss umpire; that fellow couldn't hit baby carriage with a 5O-inch plank; course he was safe;, l know he was wasn't looking right at him and he was never touched by the ball; know some-
 thing about baseball myself; no such thing, the ball naver came in ten feet of the plate. greeted my ears Louder and fercer grew tho debate.
 ~f A1.a AaI fa7 hearing everything that was being said. for which I was exceedingly glad, but as if enough had not already been done to plunge mo to the very bottom depths of despair, the current had to give out. | The stopping of the car, of course. caused the bouncing to cease. l chuokled to my self and mumbled Now for a nap and proceeded to get in position to take one, by slipping down In the seat as far as possible and placing my feet high above
 my head on the window easing. But I had failed to count on the two talking machines.
 "The conversation was still sulphuric and every word of 1t was plainly 9udihle
 to me now that the car had stopped. Why, he called that man out at third
 when the first baseman had the ball; and then he went and called every strike a ball! My eyes had closed and the voices
 were becoming fainter, then suddenly T was standing in a. baseball diamond. Grandstand, smoker and bleachers as well as that part of the grounds just inside the railings were packed with humanity.
 The noise arising from all this great as-
 semblage sounded like the roar of a
 large machine shop. I plnched myself
 and in doing so noticed that my clothes
 were different from those I usually wore.
 l looked at them and found to my sur
 prise that I was clad fin a regulation um-
 pire's uniform. I gazed about me, looked
 at the score board and saw that eight and
 one-half innings had been played, and
 that the score stood 23 to 20 in favor of
 the team in the field. The bases were full
 and consulting the indicator which I held

 Tie Up Traffic.

New Orleans, September 15.-Owing to strike of the longshoremen here the Austro Americap line steamer Sofia Hoh henberg is being held at this port in definitely without being able to dis charge her cargo. An effort was made to send the steamer to New York and unload the cargo there, but the collec- tor of the port today informed tn e steamship officials that the regula- tions required the unloading of a cargo at the port to which it is consigned and that no variation from this rule e i'd be allowed.
 The Sofia Hohenberg has cargo principally made up of magnesite for 6 Pittsburg firm. It will probably have to remain in the hold of the vessel here untl local labor troubles are settled.

Achievements of Men in Modern Science of Preventive Me cine-How They Have Conquered Yellow Jack-How People Died in the Good Old Days"-Present Condi-
 tions and Promise of the Future

phoid fever in the United States in 1900 According to the census returns there were 111.OO0 deaths from tuberculosis in the same year and it is probable that the total number was at least 145, GOO. Yet with increasing numbers of young men studying preventive medicine in schools such as that maintained by the George Washington university, with greater pub lie knowledge of sanitation and with i'm proved conditions of living, the triumphs of the past will be surpassed by the vic tories of the future. So the doctor who never makes a cure will be one of the most useful members of the community, devoting his life to research work and to service on boards of health and similar bodies.

The story of the triumphs of the men who believe in the ounce of prevention rather than the pound of cure Is graph ically told by another set of figures. Dr. Sternberg finds that according to the best estimates. the average length of human life in the sixteenth century was less than twenty years. At the present time IL is more than twice as long, and during the past twenty-five years the average duration of life has been length ened by about six years. During the first thirty-five years of the past century the vital statistics of the city of London showed a mortality of about twenty-nine to a thousand. At the present time the mortality in that great city has been re- duced to from seventeen to nineteen per thousand Even more notable results have been obatined in many parts of the civilized world as knowledge and methods in the prevention of infectious diseases have increased and improved and as hy
 gienc conditions have been bettered.
 Notwithstanding the story told by such statistics. there is plenty of work ahead for the experts in the prevention of disease The census bureau found that more than s5.ooo people died of ty-

DEFAULTER NOW INMATE OF
 ASYLUM
Iowa Bank Cashier Is a Maniac and May Never Recover His ReaSon-ReCeiVer To Be Appointed.

OTTUMWA, Iowa, April 30.-Leroy Ware, the defaulting cashier of the Farmers and Drovers' bank of Sey- mour which recently went into the hands of State Bank Examiner Leland Windsor, is a maniac, and, in the opin' ion of his physician, may never recoy- CT his reason. It is the general be lief that if Ware survives the delirium into which he was plunged when his shortage was discovered he will end his days in an asylum.
 The latest development in the case, aside from the condition of Ware, is the fact that a receiver will be ap- pointed for the institution and it's af- fairs wound up.
 Attachment suits were begun against Harlan Marsh and two others, who are believed to have secured the loans that accounted for Wares shortage. These men. according to a statement made by Windsor, who discovered the shortage, are believed to have secured large loans for speculative purposes from Ware and all records of the deals were kept off the books.
 Ware, when he confessed his short. age, asserted that he did not benefit from his transactions in receiving de posits without making them a matter of record on the banks books. He claimed that pressure had been brought to bear upon him to lend this money to wealthy men in the comnlu nifty, but he refused to make public the names of the men he claimed prof tied by his dishonesty.
 
 ever, and two others were suspected as having a part. In the proceeding and attachment suits begun against the trio, tying up their property until the matter can be brought into the courts. Marsh executed a deed tC valuable Appanoose county land to SC cure the bank.
 The shortage will be much more than S100, 900, and will doubtless reach close to $200,000," said Examiner Windsor this afternoon. How much more it will be I can not say at this time. but it is sure to reach that fig ure."
 The Farmers and Drovers' Bank is the direct descendant of the oldest bank in Seymour. There was first a private bank, then a small savings bank and twelve years ago the insn tuition became 8 state bank under much the same management as that which controlled it at the time Exam iner Windsor took charge Of it's af fairs. .
 Ware entered the employ ef the bank fourteen years ago and gained the confidence Of the officials. Mrs Ware. the youthful wife of the default CT, says her husband was forced into what he did. Further than that she refused to discuss the case. Mrs Ware, mother of Ware. says her son will be vindicated, but predicts that he will not live to see 1t.
