CAUGHT BYCOMPANYS PRESIDENT
AFTER EXCITING CHASE WAS THE
ALLEGED EMBEzzLER,
Who Confessed That He Stole $780, ,ooI
Worth of Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Bonds.

New York, April 22-Oakieigh
Thorne, millionaire, president of the
Trust Company of America, after an
exciting chase, lasting more than II
hours, in which he was aided by % oi
the concerns employees, caused the ar
rest of William C. Douglass, assistant
loan clerk, who is charged with steal
ing $250,000 worth of Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad bonds, me-
gotiable anywhere.
The capture was made under mort
dramatic circumstances. Douglass,
with his wife, under the names of Mr..
and Mrs. w. r. Gray, Boston, Mass,
had registered in the Hotel Portland
No. 13O West Forty-sventh street, but
a few minutes before the arrival of the
trust company's president and his
raiding party. 1t was necessary to
break into the room occupied by the
alleged embezzler to effect the cap
ture
After spending several hours in the
West Forty-seventh street police sta
tion and being submitted to the third
degree" Douglass admitted that his
peculations amounted to $250,00O and
in a written statement confessed to
the facts, naming one of the most
prominent men in the financial district
as the party to whom the securities
had been disposed of.
!, Noc@H Hun
resided in an humble but elaborately
furnished home in No. $50 Elton street
Brooklyn. He was prominent in the
better social circles of that district
and his beautiful young wife is the
daughter of a prominent dry goods
merchant. They have no children
and were always looked upon by theii
neighbors as a loving and prosperous
couple.

Are All Criminals Insane?

II the murderer may escape legal
punishment far his crime because the
emotional explosion which brought
about the homicide is adjudged to be
a temporary insanity, where is the
line between an irresponsible condi-
ton and mere hate? asks Golfers
Weekly. How many emotional ltal-
ians, poorly nourished, badly bred, in.
heritorS of none knows what taint, are
yearly convicted of varying degrees of
homicide, and swiftly punished, who,
had they the money to employ able
experts and counsel, might prove that
the state of mind in which they jabbed
stilettos into the other men, was COM
parable to a neurotic cyclone, in
which their poor physical members
whirled in a state of complete moral
anesthesia? In hundred years will
our whole crude legal machinery for
drawing hard lines about responsible
" seem as barbarOus as the ancient
tests for witchcraft? Plainly, in the
relation of punishment to crime, we
are as yet children cropping in the
dark 1t may be noted in this connec-
ton that bill has been introduced in
a state legislature to provide that muir
derers who have no money and wish
to enter the plea of insanity may en-
ploy a suitable medical expert at the
expense of the state.

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his in1'
tials on a dollar bill. The next day ne
went to the nearest town and spent II
with merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to-
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket OF his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bilb
will never pay any more school or
Eoad tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes OF the com
munity. He sent it entirely cut OF
the circle of usefulness to himself ana
his neighbors.

helps you to pay your taxes. support
your schools and churches, and lends
helping hand in times Of sickness
and trouble.

PLOT TO ExTERMlNATE FAMILY.
Parents Dead and Six Children
May Die.

Chicago, April 1S.--Three surviving
members of the Mettee family, of this
city, two Of whom recently died be-
cause of arsenical poisoning, were
made critically i'll by partaking of food
in which, the police declare, arsenic
had been placed.
Frank Mettee, the father of the
family, died last Saturday, and Mrs.
Mettee died April 6. Three other mem
bers of the family were also made i'll
and are now in the hospital. OF those
remaining in the house three sons
were poisoned by eating oatmeal
which had been brought into the
house since the father of the family
died.
1t is believed that a plot exists to
poison the entire family, but so far no
clew has been obtained to the guilty
person. 1t is doubtful whether any OF
those who we're poisoned will recover,

Birmingham, Ala, April 22.-As the
result of double wreck Oh the South

What Makes Spring Early or Late

Until recently it was taken for
granted that the heat given out by the
sun was always the same in amount,
not differing one day from another,
or one year from another. But it has
been finally ascertained, through
long series of experiments, that the
amount of heat given out by the sun
is constantly varying, and that at
times it is not less than one-siXth
greater than at other times, differ
ence amply sufficient to account for
exceptionally cool summers or warm
winters on the earth. Indeed, says
Rene Bache. in the Reader Magazine,
there can no longer be aay doubt
that we owe our weather, to great eX-
tent, TO the solar luminary; and our
government is at present engaged in
painstaking study of the subject in
the observatory on Mount Whitney,
Cal, the expectation being that, when
it has come to be more fully under
stood, science will be able, by obser-
walton of the suns activity, to make
forecasts of meteorological conditions
for at least six months in advance.
