NEW YORK. April 2s.-The big
bond robbery. in which the Trust Com
pany of America was the victim, con-
tinues an absorbing subject in the
financial district, where every develop
ment is eagerly scrutiniZed.
The robbery, at first put down as
s5O,O affair, has steadily grown I'M
til today it appears that securities ag-
gregating 100000 in value have been
taken by VIM. o. Douglass. the bond
clerk, now under arrest.
These figures are reached as the
result of an interview given by mem
Der of the Executive Committee of the
Trust Company, who said that it took
S165.OOO TO redeem the securities n.y.
pothecated with brokers for loans by
w. M. bennett, who is under arrest in
connection with the robbery. and the
securities were pledged for less than
one-third of their value. He also said
that it was 100000 and not $4,000
worth of securities that were hidden
in Broker Dement'S bed at the Man.
haitian Club.
Taken at the Executive Committee
mans own figuring, that Douglass and
bennett realized only part less than
a third on the average, it can be seen
that the $165,OOO that the Trust Com.
pany has lost on the outstanding Sc
curities represent a value of nearly
$500 900. Adding the $500, 900 found in
the bed of Broker bennett makes
100000.
What has become Of the money
Douglass and bennett raised Is unex-
planned. The trustee who talked yes
terday said that while he was Of the
opinion that much of this had been
lost in speculation. he felt sure that
the pair had snug sum tucked away
somewhere.

THE RICH WHO GIVE

Jacob H. Schiff was one of the
guests of honor at the dinner of the
New York POSTGRADUATE Medical
School at Delmonicos last night.
Il was invited ito the peace ban
quet," said he, but | decided | would
rather be with you After all, this is
as efficient peace meeting as the
congress. You who try to cure dis
eased minds and bodies, are the true
missionaries of peace"
Then he took as his text an an
nouncement made earlier in the even
ing by DR.. G. N. Miller, secretary of
the institution. The Jones bequest of
from $4,000 to $4,000, will be paid
next week, with $4,000 to 100000 to
come later. This will reduce the debt
of the POSTGRADUATE hospital to $780,
900. Mr.. Schiff congratulated the in
stitution upon the benefactions Of the
wealthy.
IF only rich men, he said, who do
so much for education and art would
do something for the medical schools,
they would effect more good. They
should support not only the schools
attached to universities, but those sit
uated in great cities where the ma
terial for medical study is plentiful.
I'VE hear much of the responsibility
of the classes to the masses. Gentle
men, am not sure whether the mass
es do their duty as thoroughly as do
the classes. l am filled with admira-
ton for men like Rockefeller and Nor
gan and the others of whom DR.. Miller
spoke. They have great fortunes, but
they direct their diffusion rightly
Their wealth is like reservoir. into
which run little streams from noun
tains, which OF themselves would be
of no ne to mankind"
Mr.. Schiff then pointed ont that the
medical profession could do much to as
sist the classes In the managefent Of
the wealth they had collected from the
masses by showing the general run of
mankind that it was good thing that
the means of doing things had been
concentrated in the hands OF the few
who could use them wisely.
You DOCTORS" he said, who come
into touch with the classes, cannot do
better than to teach federation of the
wealthy man. At present the men who
have gathered great fortunes are in
discriminatory condemned.

have accomplished. The city and
country have the right to be proud
of your achievements. Those who

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE

st. Paul, March S-City and coun
try clashed In the senate today anc
each succeeded in blocking an i'm,
portant measure for the other. The
city bill was that of Senator j. F.
Calhoun of Minneapolis establishing
free employment bureaus in Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Duluth, and came
up on the calendar, the last order fol
bill before its final passage. Its
author moved it's passage but F. HI.
Peterson of Moorhead, chairman Of
the finance committee objected. This
bill carried an appropriation. Under
the rules, it should therefore be re,
ferred to the finance committee in.
stead of being passed. After, lengthy
debate, In which Calhoun charged the
finance committee with continually
picking on my bills" the senate voted
to refer the bill to the finance com,
mittee. The city members voted
against the reference; the country
members with Senator Peterson.
A few minutes later, the bill ia
establish a farm machinery plant al
the state prison came up on calendar.
Senator Calhoun saw his opportunity,
and sliced it.
'Mr. President, he cried, securing
the floor 81 believe this bill carries an
appropriation for plont at the prison
under our rules and the precedent just
established, the bill should not be
passed at this time, but go to the
finance committee. I move it to be

Elbow Lake and B. e. sundberg oil
Kennedy both secured the floor and
started hurried explanations that the
bill did not carry a real appropriation
simply called for transfer of state
funds from one account to another.
1t was critical moment for the farm
implement bill. II vote had been
forced, it might have been lost for il
is not a popular measure in many
quarters. Albert Schaller of Hastings
saved the day for the bill, however,
by calling attention to the absence OF
the author of the bill, G.. HI. Sullivan
of Saltwater, and requesting as a
courtesy to him that definite action
on the bill be not taken until his re-
turn. This was granted.
No other "tilts" of Importance OF
interest took place in the legislature
today. 1t was case of Saving wood. F"
Each branch had a large number oil
bills on general orders and the cal
endar and they were ground out from
one step to another with roll call
after roll call. The senate cleared up
its work, but the house still had
about hundred bills awaiting action
of the committee of the whole.

short session Saturday, considered
few bills on general orders, advanced
some to the calendar, then adjourned
till Wednesday morning. This was
because many members desired to be
at their homes Tuesday when town
elections take place throughout the
state. The senate, however, will con-
vene Monday evening.
The jeint committee on redistricting
the state judicially, has decided not
to make any changes. George P.
Wilson of Minneapolis. who offered
the resolution in the senate creating
the special committee, thought that
in districts where judges are over
worked, territory could be taken of
and added to less busy adjoining dis
tricts. Judges in the less busy dis
tricts object to more work, and dis
tricts it was proposed to switch, object
to be charged. So the committee has
decided to keep the districts as they
are.
The two committees on appropria.
tions have decided that appropriations
for state institutions, which will come
close to $4,000, geo, will have to be
raised by an adjustment Of the state
tax levy. Because Of the fact that
the tax amendment which was appar-
entity carried at the last election may
be defeated by recount being de-
manded at Duluth, the finance com,
mittees Of both branches of the legis-
lature are fearful of trusting to
raising money to run the state
institutions thru special bills which
depend on the LEGALITY of the con-
stitutional amendment. 1t is possible
the half mill which State Auditor s..
G.. Iverson estimated would be all
that was necessary for rate, may be
increased to one mill.
There Is indication that the railroad
bill hearings which have been going
on for some weeks, may be drawn
out much longer time. Friday, the
whole afternoon was taken up in the
senate chamber with hearing on the
eastman distance tariff bill. A num-
Der Of delegations which desired to
be heard, especially one from Duluth,
didn't get chance to "get in word
edgeways," so will be given chance
later, the committee agreeing not to
take action on the bill till these peo-
pie are heard, The great objection
urged against the eastman measure
is the demand of an equality in the
"rate per ton, per mile" and it is
possible the measure may have this
section cut out.

ASSAULT CASE TRIED
Rocco Cslo Fined 50 and Costs and Three Months in Jail.

There were no wedding bells last Saturday morning for Joseph Perel- To. and he fears that whenever he may hear their first sound he will find Rocco Calo's knife in his ribs, or bullet from his revolver will whix through his brains. In the city court to-day before Judge Burpee, Perello told why there were no we'd ding bells for him. He was to have been married to Calo's sister-in-law last Saturday, but Calo and his wife did not favor the marriage. All the preliminaries had been gone through with, such as the church announce
 nent of the bans. inviting the guests, and so on, and last Wednes- day evening Perello set out for Calo's house on South Wilson street to invite him and his wife. He had invited them before, but he had heard they were not going to attend and he thought it better to renew the invitation. Calo offered him some supper and cider, but he did not care about eating or drinking. After being in the house some time, Calo asked his wife where his re- volver was, and he then went to a room and remained there a minute or two. Calo accompanied him some distance from the house on his way home and without any warning struck him twice on the head. Per o11o did mt LnOu, u,hck th1 xvnon used was, but heard since 1t was a sandbag. Previous to the assault he had heard that Calo had been after" him for three years. The blow broke PerellO's hat and made nasty wound on top of his head.
 Perello said that Calo showed him knife once and threatened to kill him if he married Mrs Cabs sister.
 pr John E. Farrell testified to the nature of the wound, saying it was a nasty one and required six stitches.
 Calo denied making any threats. He said Perello first struck him in the stomach; then he gave Perello one in the chin and seeing piece of fence picket on the street he picked 1t up and gave him another on the head. He denied writing his father in-law that he would kill Perello if he married Mrs Calo's sister, or that he had drawn his money out of the bank in preparation to skip town If he had seriously hurt Perello.
 Mrs Calo denied everything Perel- To stated. She had no objection to his marrying her sister. She was just mad at her father.
 Frank Spallone, IT, said he knew both Calo and Perello a few months. He was in saloon in Brooklyn last Friday night after the assault and Calo Jabbed his knife into the bar and said he was not through yet with Perello. The upshot of 1t all was that Perello was laid up with his wounds last Saturday forenoon, when, according to his expectations, he should have been married to Mrs Cabs sister.
 Attorney Russell represented the state in this matter and Attorney Guilfoile the defense. Calo was fined $50 and costs and given three months in jail An appeal under bail of $500 was taken.
