DEFALCATION A FAKE.
Denial by officers Of the Chemical
National Bank.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 26-Sensational re-
ports to the effect that a defalcation had
been discovered in the Chemical National
Bank, at go Broadway, were declared by
officers OF that institution today to be abso-
lutely unfounded.
1T is the rankest kind of fake" said
Mr.. Francis Halpin. the cashier.
1t was learned that the expert account
ants who were busy all yesterday and
last night in the offices of the Chemical
National" as q result of the reported de-
falcation, were none other than a gang Of
carpenters employed in putting in new plate
glass windows. scaffolding had been
erected and inasmuch as the work could
not be carried on during business hours 1t
was decided to install the glass yesterday
and last night.
The fact that one of the banks junior Of
ficers Is away i'll from overwork Is be-
lieved TO have started the report of defal-
cation.
why, that man is one of our most
trusted employees" said Cashier Halpin,
land we'd leave the vaults open to him
without fearing anything wrong. He was
suddenly taken Ill last week, and is now
recuperating with our full permission"

subway trains run over the falls bridge to
Wayne Junction. The locomotive and the
baggage cars cleared the switch, but the
forward truck on the first of ME three pas
senger coaches left the rails when 1t struck
the intersection.
The passengers in the coach We're thrown
from their seats by the shock. When they
looked from the windows to the river, sixty
feet below, they realized their danger and
although badly shaken up, stampeded from
the cars.
Investigation showed that no damage had
been done 10 the car although the ties and
road bed had been badly torn up.

SAID HE WOULD SHOOT
MOB LYNCHED HIS PRISONER
NOTWITHSTANDING.

OMAHA, Neb., August 26.-Loris Higgins
who murdered w. L. Copple and wife near
Rosalie, Neb, May IL, was lynched at Ban
croft today. Sheriff Young of Thornton
county came to Omaha Sunday night to get
his prisoner who had been in the Douglas
county Jail here since his capture, and took
him to Bancroft on train which arrived
there about o'clock in the morning.
Twenty men took Higgins from the sheriff,
hauled him off in dray and hung him to a
tree When the sheriff left for Omaha Sun
day he was accosted by citizens at Bancroft,
who asked him what he would do If they
should attempt to lynch Higgins.
Shoot the first man who, tries it," he
said.
WELL We just wanted to know; chances
are you will have some shooting to do
Higgins crime was a wanton one He
had worked on the Couple farm and had had
some trivial dispute with Mr.. Copple. An
ger over this Is the only suggestion of rea-
son for the murder. He killed both in the
barnyard with gun. He was a young man,
and after his arrest became radically re-
ligious, participating in every service held
at the Jail.

CHICAGO MANAGERS SURPRISED
Over Action of Local Union in Elect
ing Committee.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, August 26-The action of the
Chicago union yesterday in taking steps
for the election of a committee of fifteen
to confer with the telegraph companies
came as a surprise to the local teleg raph
superintendent. They declared they had
heard of no change in the strike situa-
ton which would warrant the selection of
such a committee, and that the move was
simply of conciliatory nature.
The strikers, on the other hand, maintain
that 1t is no concession, but simply logi-
cal action. in keeping with conditions, and
necessary for an ultimate settlement of
the strike. Voting is in progress today in
every center where the operators are on
strike. 1t is expected the committee will
be ready for business about the time Presi-
dent Small makes his efforts to reach the
heads Of the telegraph companies in New
York AS the new committee will represent
the strikers at large, any settlement that
might be reached would end the whole dis
pute
Some of the unions throughout the coun-
try yesterday chose electors, who, in turn,
will choose one representative from each
company in each telegraph district. This
committee of fifteen from each company
will be in readiness to proceed to New
York at any time the telegraph companies
may show a willingness to meet them TO
discuss terms of settlement.

Letter to George Kemp.
Impatient at Headquarters.

Police officials at headquarters are in an
impatient mood today because they can
not hear anything regarding the positive
Identification eff the man arrested at Logan,
w. Va. and supposed TO be Kemp De-
tective McNamee was dispatched TO the
West Virginia mining town last night and
Is speeding in that direction as fast as
steam can carry him. but he will not reach
there until after O'Clock tonight, and until
that time the local officials cannot be GER
tain whether the missing defaulter has
been CAPTURED or not.
The Impotence began with the receipt of
the following message from Albert Moore,
chief of police of Logan, w. Va, yesterday
afternoon:
Il have arrested James Arthur Kemp,
alias J. II. Henderson,. five feet SIX inches,
weighing 1Jo pounds, cut left thumb.
ha.r thin on top and back of head, blue
eyes, smutty complexion, small dimple on
chin. Let ME hear from you at once"
The telegram was in such positive terms
that II startled the .ocal police ficias and
as IL came from a section where they little
thought the missing chief clerk would seek
refuge they were pcssimistic at flrsi, but
not wishing to lose any opportunity for
capturing the man they want so badly Maj.
Sylvester and Inspector Boardman ar
ranged to send man TO Logan to look the
prisoner over. Detective McNamee was
picked out as the nan to go, he having
been familiar with Kemp for many years
He was accompanied by a reporter for The
Star.
This morning further confirmation of
the Identification of the prisoner by the au-
thorites at Logan received in tele-
gram, which read as follows:
Am very sure it is Kemp
But the local police headquarters officials
are from Missouri IS far as this particular
arrest is concerned. and they must BE
shown before they viii believe that Kemp
is actually under arrest. Knowing his hab-
its well they do, the local police Off
Gals say that they do not believe that
Kemp would work a miner, as indicated
in the dispatches from Logan.

WELLMAN STILL WAITS
HAS NOT YET STARTED FOR THE
NORTH POLE.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 26-The Hamnerfest
correspondent of the Daily Mail says that
Walter Wellman did not start from his
camp at Spitzbergen for the north pole in
his airship on August %, as he hoped to
do. The last two tourist steamers of the
year arrived at the camp at Virgo bay on
August 90 They saw the balloon high in
the air, confined by anchor ropes.
Mr.. Wellman said he was not able to start
as the breeze was wrong. He could not
start in a southeast wind. The tourists
banqueted Mr.. Wellman and his scompan-
ions. Mr.. Wellman said to them: IF am
lucky you will hear from me and the north
pole in a week. II 1 am less lucky, in a
fortnight. If you do not hear from me in
three weeks you will never hear from me"
The steamers left twenty-four hours later
1t was then remarked that the balloon
seemed gradually being debated. They
passed Virgo bay for the last time on Au-
gust %, and no start had then been made
although the weather was calm and bright
The passengers doubt if Mr.. Wellman will
or can start this year.

MORE TROUBLE FOR PACKERS.
Teamsters to Strike Today If De-
mands Are Refused.

mands Are Refused.
Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, August 26.-Unless their ulti-
matum is granted. 100 packing house team
sters will strike at $50 o'clock this after
noon. Two months ago the packing house
men were on the point of striking A
strike vote was taken, and the walkout was
Endorsed by the teamsters' Joint council
and the international executive board of
the teamsters' union. At the last moment
the strike was prevented by proffer of
arbitration from the packers, which the
drivers accepted.
Arbitration, however proved to be a fail
ure. Four members of an arbitration board
two representing each side in the con-
troversy-were selected but it was found
Impossible to agree on the fifth man. The,
effort to complete the board was kept up
until week ago, when the teamsters an
nounced that they were tired of the pro-
ceedings,' and renewed their demands for
more wages.
Yesterday the packers hoping to avoid
strike, held out offer of a small in
crease in wages to some of thesmen. This
offer was rejected at a meeting Of the
Transfers in the afternoon. The sentiment
at the meeting was that unless every driver
gets an increase a strike should be called.

In anticipation of the arrival Of Secretary
Taft in the orient the gunboat Chattanooga
has put in at Vladivostok, the eastern
terminus of the Trans SHERMAN railroad
1t is a rare thing for an American war
ship to visit that port. and it is supposed
at the Navy Department that the object
of the visit to make sure that it will be
possible for the Chattanooga or a vessel
Of her type to enter the far northern har-
Dor as late as the middle Of next Novem-
Der, when Secretary Taft expects to en-
train after his Philippine visit, for western
Europe, on his hemeward journey. The
Russian government has stationed at Via
divostok the largest icebreaker in the
world, which manages to keep the harbor
open to a limited extent the greater part
of the fall and late spring, and 1t is ex-
pected that the Chattanooga can get in,
provided the attempt is made not later
than November 10. If the Secretary should
be delayed later than that date it Is posi-
BILE, that If he does not completely eliminate
the return to America by way Of Siberia
and Europe, he will be obliged to entrain

Hard Luck of Telegraph Operator

$1S is some misfortune, especially when you
are striking telegraph operator; but think
of being stripped of your hat, coat and
trousers on the lake shore and having to

orator from New York, experienced both
these mlsfortunes yesterday. After several
drinks with a new-found friend at the Re-
we're House he was induced to go to see
a mythical hole on the lake front" When
he reached the foot of Illinois street he was
knocked down, beaten and robbed of the
