BOUND FOR THE SOUTH SEAS
Embezzling Teller Believed to Be on
Board Sailing Vessel.

New York, July 5.-Chester B. Run
yam, defaulting teller of the Windsor
Trust company, whose amazing theft
Of $96,317 from the banks vaults was
chronicled Wednesday, is believed by
the detectives at work on the case to
be on board of sailing vessel bound
for the South seas The officers
learned that Runyan talked a great
deal of such a trip in search of health
and, as not trace of him has been
found, they think he arranged with
some South street skipper, who sailed
Saturday. for passage.
1t has been learned that Runyan
took with him large revolver, the
property of the trust company 1t
was used daily by the assistant teller
on his visits with large sums of money
to the National Bank Of Commerce,
with which the Windsor Trust COM
pany has large dealings. From this
it was assumed that the fugitive had
it in mind to kill himself if he were
captured in getting away with his
plunder.
That the sum total of Runyan's s
stealings will approximate larger
sum than that announced is denied by
the bank officers. They positively de-
clare the present case will in no way
resemble the Trust Company of Amer
lea theft, which grew from $4,000 to
$650,000. George W. Young, one of
the active members of the directorate,
asserted that the thorough examina-
tion made of all the records of the
trust company has not revealed a
penny shortage.

JAIL THE ONLY REMEDY.
Woodrow Wilson on Unlawful Prac.
tices Of Corporations.

Norfolk, Va, July 5.-Individual ac-
countability for the acts of corpora
tions, the arrest and Imprisonment of
corporation heads instead of the fining
or dissolution Of corporations them
selves, Is the remedy for the monop-
olistic tendencies and the unlawful
practice of. modern industries urged
by Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton university, in an address at
the jamestown exposition.
"One really responsible man in jail" !"
he said, "one real originator of the
schemes and transactions which are
contrary to the public interest legally
lodged in the penitentiary, would be
worth more than a thousand corpora
tions mulcted in fines, If the reform Is
to be genuine and permanent"
What this country needs, Mr.. Wilson
set forth, is not government owner
ship Of railroads, ETC., but laws that
will attack and punish presidents and
general managers of railroads for eva
sions and violations of the statutes.
Stock manipulations he calls "sheer
thefts" and says they should be pun
fshed as such.
Somebody in particular" the edu-
Gator stated, "is responsible for order
ing or sanctioning every Illegal act
committed by its agents or officers;
but neither our law Of personal dam
age nor our criminal law has sought
to seek the responsible persons out
and hold them accountable for the
acts complained of. We have never
attempted stch statutes"
President Wilson says it is just as
absurd to indict or dissolve corpora
t1ons for offenses against the public
as it would be to arrest and confiscate
automobiles because their owners
killed pedestrians. If the individual
Is made responsible he is convinced
the difficulty will be solved

HAS BRILLIANT RECORD.
Career of Prisoner Now In Hands of
Moorish Bandit.

London, July 5-No uneasiness is
felt here about the safety of Caid
General Harry MacLean, who is held
as a hostage by the notorious Moor
ish brigand, Rafsuli, until the sultan
of Morocco comes to his terms, but it
is believed that with SO powerful a
parsonage as a hostess Raisuli will
drive a hard bargain with the sultan.
MacLean's handsome daughter is
credited with having great influence
with the sultan In fact she is styled
"the empress of Morocco"
MacLean is the commander-in-chief
of the Moorish army, has splendid
palace in Fee and gets salary OF
$4,000 year. He became Moham-
medan many years ago and virtually
a Moor. His deeds of valor have been
numerous, but his greatest achieve
ment was when his patron, Sultan
Mulaj, died Of fatigue during cam
paign against some turbulent tribes.
MacLean concealed the death, carry
litter until he reached the capital,
where he smuggled the body in
through a hole in the wall and then
met and proclaimed the new sultan.
MacLean knew that news of the death
Of Mulaj would be the signal for a
military revolt which would result in
an enemy of his being placed ON the
throne.
The British government has COM
municated with the Moroccan govern
ment demanding that prompt steps be
taken to secure the release of Caid
Sir Harry MacLean, commander OF
the sultan's hodyguard, who was cap
eured by Raisuli, the bandit chief, and
is being held as a prisoner pending
The granting of Raisuli's terms for his
surrender.

Western Roads Plan Showing on Two
Cent Fare.

Chicago. July 5.-With view to
showing in the courts that there Is
not reasonable profit in passenger
rates of 2 cents per mile the Western
railroads have agreed not to make a
lower rate on any traffic in, to, from
or through the states of Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota and Nebraska for
ninety days.
One result Of this agreement will
be the abolition on July Of reduced
rates in the states named for clergy
men, disabled soldiers and all those
who have been given half rates for
years because engaged exclusively in
religious or charitable work.
Another result Of the agreement
which will have much greater effect
upon the passenger revenues Of the
railroads will be the cessation of all
excursions at popular prices.

DENOUNCED BY FOLK
Custom of Federal Courts in Null
lifying State Laws.
ENJOINED WITHOUT HEARING
Protests Against Legislative Statutes
Being Suspended as PresumptiveIy
Bad Until They Have Been Legally
Declared Invalid.


Evansville, Ind, July 5.-In a speech
here Governor Folk Of Missouri dis
cussed the question of state rights.
He said, in part:
II believe the real work of the next
few years is to be done in the states.
These are the great experimental sta
tions of representative government
and they have been most neglected.
''The states are supreme in their
sphere, limited only by their own con-
st1tutions and by the powers which
they have delegated to the federal
government. In the tendency to cen
tralize power in the federal govern
ment, which has been given such an
impetus of late, there is danger to our
institutions and the integrity and dig
nifty of the states, so necessary to the
preservation Of the ideas Of govern
ment that were crystallized in the
formation of the republic. Nowhere
is this encroachment on the rights of
the state more marked than in the
wholesale notification of state laws
by federal injunction without hearing
and before trial.
"The result is unless the consent of
q railroad can be obtained to pending
legislation the state becomes power
less. No good citizen desires to be
unjust to railroads. But that they
must be regulated and that the states
should not be left as mere subjects Of
their benevolence all must admit.
mo one could object to a court,
state or federal, declaring the statute
unconstitutional If found to be so
after hearing But there should be
protest against statutes of states being
Suspended as Presumptively Bad
until the case is determined. This is
like Furnishing a man first any trying
him afterwards. A number of impor-
tant laws of the state of Missouri are
now embalmed by the federal injunc-
tion veto. In the course of years,
when the cases are tried, the court
will probably hold they are valid, but
they might as well be killed as to be
chloroformed by Injunction until their
vitality is gone.
"The people of Missouri are not
prejudiced against railroads, as such,
and the same sentiment of justice
which brought the freight rate law
and the 2-cent fare law into being
will cause their repeal If they are
found to be unfair But the people Of
Missouri object to federal court
despotically enjoining the state from
enforcing its laws before they have
been declared invalid.
This is merely sample of what
is going ON all over the country. If
these conditions continue, as they viii
without vigorous protest from those
VINO believe in the rights of the state
to control their local affairs, state
sovereignty will soon be merely a
theory. This Is the greatest nation in
the world-great because it is an
'indissolnble union of independent
states Let us keep it so. for its de-
cline will commence when the self
government of the states, the source
Of its power. is destroyed
