SAMUELS AN EMBEzzLER
SUCH is THE CHARGE MADE
Said That CoIored Man Took $50 En-
trusted to Him by Mrs. Mary Viii
Iiams and sPIaced in Bank for His
Own Use.

Robert Samuels, colored, was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon about $50 by
Sergeant McManus on charge of en-
bezzlement. Samuels maintains that
he is innocent of the charge and this
morning he will be arraigned in the
circuit court.
1t is alleged that several days ago
Samuels embezzled the sum of $50
from Mrs. Mary Williams, an aged
colored woman who resides on South
Fourth street and who was paid dam
ages by the street car company last
year for an injury she received while
riding on the car.
According to the police, Samuels,
who boarded with Mrs. Williams, was
intrusted by her with $50 which he
was to deposit for her in one of the
banks. Yesterday Mrs. Williams wish
to draw this amount out of the bank
and to her surprise there was no
money deposited there in her name.
She reported this matter to a friend
who at once notified the police. 1t
was learned that Samuels had deposit
ed the money given him in his own
name and has been drawing in small
sums from the deposit for several days
past. So far as known Samuels has
never been in trouble before.

WILL CAUSE A HOWL
Assessor OF Grant County Proposes
That the Franchises Of Corpor-
ations be Assessed.

Marion, Ind, March County As
SCISSOR Kilgore says he has ascertain
ed that corporations having loca,
franchises which are not taken into
consideration by the state board of rax
commissioners have not been assessed
on such franchises. He interprets
the law to mean that they shall be as
sessed on their franchises as things of
value. He says they are special pri-
and by theirpossession cor
porations are permitted to earn mon
ey. 1t is his belief the franchises are
made subject to taxation as personal
property, but must be assessed separ-
ate and apart from the material poss-
essions of the corporations. Assessor
Kilgore promises to urge on the tax
ing officers the assessing of these fran
chiseS.

IS GIVEN ANOTHER SLAP
HOUSE DISLIKES HANLY
The johnson Bill Strongly Urged for
Passage by the Governor Was Very
House.

indianapolis, Ind, March 6.-That
the house of representatives has it
in for the governor became evident
again today, when Johnson's bill on
the question of employers liability was
brought up. The day before Governor
Hanly had sent special message re-
questing that such a measure be pass
ed and recommending the passage of
the Johnson bill That seems to have
been the sign for representatives to
get busy and the result was that they
promptly killed the bill, which Cover
nor Hanly had requested enacted. The
action of the house is taken as indi-
eating that no slight or insult is to be
overlooked and as a gentle hint that
the house does not need advice from
the governors Office

TO TALK ON SHIP SUBSIDY
President Will Try to Change the
Views of Middle Westerners on
His Coming Trip.

Washington, ID. c., March 6.-The
president indicated to several senators
today that he will talk ship subsidy
on his trip to the middle west this
spring. He did not say whether he
would discuss the subject in his indi-
annapolis speech or his speech at
Lansing. In the course of the con-
versation he expressed deep regret
that the subsidy bill had failed, and
said he realized that it was the opposi-
tion in the middle west that killed
the bill. He believes he can do some
thing toward changing the attitude of
that section of the country on the pro-
posed legislation.

VERY MUCH CHICAGO
New Castle Man Doing Business in
Old Building While New Struc-
ture is Built Around II.

New Castle, Ind, March 6.-James
Banks is building a modern brick
building around a frame one without
the tenant being compelled to cease
business. The work began last Au-
gust. Little by little the frame build

by Banks as a saloon was shaved
down on all sides, propped up and
the sides cut off and the walls of the
more modern building built up around
it. The saloon continued to do busi-
ness and despite the fact that many
predicted the owner would lose mon
ey, he made more than usual, many
persons being drawn into the odd
looking saloon to investigate.

The Executive Committee
Took Such Action at Its
Meeting Last Night.
SUCCESS THEN OR NEVER
THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR
TIME TO SPLENDID CAUSE
FEEL THAT 1T SHOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO DRAG.

The Y. NJ. C. a fund must be raised
by April 80, or else Richmond will be
without Y NJ C. A.
Such action was taken at the meet
ing of the executive committee in
charge of the movement at its meet
ing last night. The committee can
vassed the matter very carefully and
came to the conclusion that if the
money were not raised by that time it
was useless to devote more time to the
work. BY then all who are able to
give will have been seen, and ii the
needed sum is not forthcoming, those
who have been working so hard for
the splendid cause, will feel that the
people do not want the Y. M. c. A.
With the contest now on between
the young mems committees, and in
view of the offer NJ. c. Henley has
made, the executive committee feels
that the collection of subscriptions
will move briskly. Although no 9th
er subscriptions of $4,000 have been
received to make up the nine needed
to secure Mr.. Henley's offer, favorable
reports were heard last night and the
committee is very hopeful.
Secretary Brown said last night
that no action had been taken in re-
gard to the disposition of the money
already secured in case the 100000
was not raised by the stipulated time.
So anxious are the promoters to get
the full amount that they have not
given a thought to conditions which
may arise out of their failure.

The Variety of Joe Cannon.

The December American Magazine con tains a remarkable character sketch or Uncle Joe Cannon by George Fitch, the brilliant young Illinois editor and numor- ist The cartoons are by McCutcheon or Chicago. Toward the end of the article, which sparxles with wit and wisdom, MT. Fitch sums up Cannon as follows: = "Mr. Cannon is composite of tastes and manners Possibly this is the secret of his success. He has gone through life absorbing. He has been Quaker. a farmer. a lawyer, bank CT, monopolist and statesman, and has gotten some of the flavor of each in his Inake-up so that when he tells quaint story to illustrate an up to date financial theory, while sipping saut- erne in his shirtsleeves, he is as likely to let thee slip into his conversation as not In Congress he has served IS terms. Only two men now there have served longer. Almost a thousand have come and gone in his time. Dur ing his 32 years in Congress he has watched the rise and fall of the vol canic leader. the vitriolic leader, the plous, the oily, the shrewd, the polished aph tho unlettered leader. He has understoodthem all and has absorbed each mans way un- til now he uses temperaments as an or ganist pulls out stops. He is in turn
 
 phere with huge, angular gestures and bombarding the enemy with short jagged words; Cannon the bland, peaceful and oleaginous; Cannon the correct, frockcoat- ed, grave and dgnifed; Cannon the rustic. redolent of the pralries and scornful of conventions; Cannon the fearless, with bridges burned and pontoon conveniently hidden; Cannon the contemplative. quot ing Scripture: Cannon the politician. franklyl commercial, and Cannon the patriot,b marching to the defense of his countrys prosperity with a blind faith in the integrity of figures.
 the mob of politician Cannons, is dlf- hcult to say. Even his friends are not sure they know. Perhaps 1t would not be a bad guess to think of man a little weary, little old, a little lonely; not fond of booklearnng nor particularly of people, but with a passion for his- tory and the romance of nation build ing; trife cynical regarding reforms and reformers and the millennium; be- lieying absolutely in two things a deity and the republican party; not particular 1y full of faith in men and impatient of any attempt to change the good old ways of getting there. Warm-hearted with common people. but cold-hearted in poli- tics, knowing the game from It's first principles. A grand old man of yester- day and pretty good young man of today as young men go. And may he round out his hundred years as he has sworn to do.'

Christmas In the Philippines.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Although they are dwellers in tropical country where the environments diner greatly from those in their own land. tho Americans now in the Philippine Islands will celebrate Christmas with quite as much zeal and in nearly the same fashion as the people of the states" So far as the soldiers stationed there are concerned the authorities at Washington have done their share to make the day pleasant one What is said to be the largest Christmas dinner ever sent from any port in the world" was shipped recently from San Francisco to Manila, on the transport Sherman. The good things thus charac- terized were intended for the military men in our Asiatic possessions and their families. Every member of the little army in the islands, including. also. it is to be hoped. the native constabulary, is to be supplied with regular Christmas meal of the occidental kind. For this pur- pose the Sherman carried from the Golden Gate not less than 5000 pounds of turkey 300 gallons of cranberry sauce, big cases of home made mince meat for pies and hundreds of tins of plum pudding. In or der to convey these delicacies in safety and good condition to their destination. an immense ice box was especially con structed to contain them. The fowls wero all raised in California, and were of the finest quality. This generous contribution by the government to the typical observ- ance of the great religious holiday Is ex- pected to put Uncle Sam's fighting men in good Eumor and to lessen to some ex- tent that "homeslek feeling" which ire quently attacks the exile. The personal friends in this country of the soldiers have also taken a hand in adding to the latters' contentmeut by forwarding to them multitudes of gifts of various kinds Nor will the American civilians there be forgotten by the relatives and friends from whom they are separated so far.
