WALKER HAD LARGESUM
Said to Hare Sold Bonds for $780,
900 Cash-s5 900 Re1card offered.

New Britain. Conn. Feb Let is said to have
been determined that Sunday last, when w
p. Walker the missing bank treasurer, was last
seen. he had about 100000 in ready cash in his
possession part Of the proceeds of the sale
within short time Of about 100000 worth Of
securities belonging TO the bank
The work Of tracing Walker is slowly bringing
about definite clews On Sunday last he was at
the Cumberland Hotel. in New York He had
shaved off his white whskers and had his mus
tache trimmed and waxed. When he had ap
peared at the hotel on the previous Friday and
asked for the room he usually had which was
an inexpensive one he told that It was oc-
cupied, and he took instead a suite Of two rooms
and bath, saying. "Oh! I have the money. I
might well enjoy myself before I die"
The clerk knew Walker well. but on Sunday
when Walker paid his bill his disguise was so
complete that the clerk did not recognize him.
Walker seemed TO be much elated at the surprise
shown by the clerk. He had on a suit, and
this fact explains the sending to A. J. Sloper his
brother-in-law, of his old coat and vest,
William r. Walker. the New Britain bank
treasurer who disappeared last week, is being
looked for by both the local police and the
Pinkerton detective agency. A reward of $4,000
for his capture alive has been offered, and $1,000
should he be dead when found.
There seems TO he no cew yet to his
whereabouts. but 1t is the general impression
that he is still in this city. He is reported to
have been by a Hartford clergyman, the
Rev Raymond Maplesden, last Monday 5Sth
street and Seventh avenue, and then in help
less condition. If he had just met with some
accident. Mr.. Maplesden did not know Of Mr..
Walkers disa ppearance al that time and paid
more attention TO the incident until he read
OF the defalcation.
The committee of the savings bank Of New
Britain, consisting of Henry f. Russell. William
II. Hart and Andrew ]. sloper, has engaged the
services of the Pnkerton detective agency, and
pictures of the missing man have been sent all
over the country.
At the offices Of Merrill & Rogers. attorneys
for the bank in this city. il said last night
that nothing had been learned by the committee
concerning Mr.. Walkers wherea bouts.

MRS. ROOSEVELT
TABOOS CORSETs
THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND
PUTS THE BAN ON ARTICLE OF
ToRTUE-WHAT SHE THINKS.

Special to the Herald.
Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 2O.-Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt has essayed the
role Of reformer. It is not the rail-
roads, the corporations nor the ma
ture takers that have fallen under the
ban of the first lady of the land. Ac-
cording TO an intimate friend, the
presidents wife has decided to discard
her corsets. All of the feminine in
struments of torture in her wardrobe
will be thrown into the garbage heap
ana she will hereafter wage unceasing
warfare against them. If Mrs. Roose-
welt is successful in her crusade, the
corset will be relegated to the limbo
of antiquity. along with the hoopskirt
and the hustle. As a result. the wasp
like waist bids fair to go out of fash
ion, and the Venus form. long admired
but seldom emulated, is to have its
inning
Mrs. Roosevelt's action as a sarto-
rial reformer is not without precedent.
When Mrs. Cleveland was America s
first lady, she placed an eternal tabo
on the hustle and put the ban of Off
cial displeasure on that hideous in
strument of deformity. At that time
the hustle had grown to enormous
size and caused the American woman
to assume a resemblance to the hump
backed ship of the desert. Mrs. Cleve-
lands example was speedily followed
by the nations femininty and the bus
tie became a back number.
The opposition of Mrs. Roosevelt to
the corset is based on hygenic facts
not unrelated to the subject of race
suicide. She believes that the COM
pressing of vital organs by means Of
stays has become a positive menace
and crime against future generations
Such a crusade will not be without it's
effect in the financial world, since
millions of dollars are invested in
corset manufacture in this country.
and any attempt to bring these arti-
cles of feminine attire into disrepute
will not be accomplished without de-
termined fight on the part of the vest
ed-or Observation-Disclosures of the
nation.
