VICTIM OF WIRE TAPPERS
BANK LooTER WALKER SAID TO
HAVE BEEN SWINDLED.
Lost $260,ooo to Confidence Men in
New York, According to
Report.

New York, Feb. 19.-The police are
investigating a report that William F.
Walker, the missing treasurer of the
New Britain, Conn, Savings bank,
lost more than $350,00O of the banks
funds in this city as a victim OF
| skilled workers of the overlapping
game This report Is to the effect that
one of the two men who operated the
game discovered last October that
Walker had suffered losses through
his ventures in stock speculation. The
pretended wiretapper then went to
New Britain and unfolded to Walker,
it is said, the usual scheme of tapping
the race wires to get the name of the
Winning horsre and then beating the
pool rooms by betting on the horse
before the pool room received the
name of the winner.
AS a result Walker is said to have
gone to New York, where he was
taken to a pretended pool room, where
he and the two conspirators acting as
his agents bet and lost $4,000. Walk
is said then to have gone back to New
Britain, but was again convinced by
the conspirators that the loss was due
to his own mistake in taking the name
of the winning horse. Walker is said
to have consented to try it again and
to have brought to New York lot Of
the banks securities and negotiated
them for $4,000 cash. He was al
lowed to win $4,000, according to the
report, but on the next trial lost the
entire amount, $260,0OO, including his
own winnings. The swindlers then
disappeared.
1t is stated that most Of the securi
ties stolen have been located. Most
of them have been found with reputa-
BILE brokerage houses, and efforts are
now being made for their restoration
to the Connecticut institution. Walk
er, it is understood, disposed of about
100000 worth of the securities few
days before he vanished from the Ho-
tel Cumberland, and he is believed to
have had large amount of cash when
he departed.

VOLUNTEER ARMY PLANS
BILL PREPARED BY THE GENER.
AL STAFF Is INTRODUCED.
Senate Makes Little Progress on Aqri.
cultural Measure House
Passes immigration Bill.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator War
rem, chairman of the senate commit
tee on military affairs, Monday intro
duced bill providing for the raising
of a volunteer army of the United
States during actual or threatened
war. The bill was prepared by the
general staff and is very scomprehen-
sive measure, outlining plans for the
organization and mobilization of the
proposed army in minute detail.
1t divides the military establish
ment into three branches, the regular
army, the national guard and the vol
unteer army. 1t provides that the
volunteer army shall be maintained
in time of war and when war is immi-
nent, and that it may be raised by
proclamation by the president after
congress shall have authorized such
act. The extent of the force is to de-
pend upon the emergency and the
troop are to be raised in the various
states in proportion to their popula-
ton.
The same bill was introduced in the
house by Chairman Hull of the COM
mittee on military affairs.
AS the result of more than five
hours consideration of the agricul-
tural appropriation bill, the senate
increased from $500 to $4,000 the
salary of Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
bureau of forestry. The debate was
devoted mostly to the methods of ad-
ministration and general policy of the
forest6ervice and at times broadened
to include the public land question
generally. Practically no progress
was made on the agricultural bill. The
senate will meet at II o'clock here
after.
Under suspension of the rules the
house adopted the conference report
on the immigration bill although the
Democrats generally made a party
issue against the passport provision
as well as to that requiring increased
air space in vessels.
The house refused to suspend the
rules and pass the bill recommended
by the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee as substitute for
the so-called La Toilette bill limiting
employment on railroads to 16 hours,
the Democrats voting solidly against
the substitute.
Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana asked
that general debate terminate on the
post Office appropriation bill at four
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, which was
agreed to.

ArisjnQ from Bed.

It was Wellington who said that
when a man turns in bed he should
turn out; it is time for him to arise.
Should a mother who has been kept
awake half the night by teething in
FAINT turn out whenever she turns, or
literary man who finds that his best
thoughts come to him the hour be-
fore he rises in the morning? Ger
tainly, if one expects to rise early he
should go to bed early, for it is false
economy Of time to deprive oneself
Of necessary sleep. But what is nee.
essary sleep? That depends upon
your age, your health, the work you
do, and the way you sleep; for there
is quality Of sleep as well as quantity,
and one man will sleep as much
dreamless sleep in an hour as an
other will in three or four who sees
disturbing visions or is attacked by
nightmare. We know what is laid
down as the regulation quantity Of
sleep. 1t Is six hours for a man,
seven for a woman, and eight for a
fool; but many of us are foolish in
this respect. When staying at no.
tel one may uotice young men who,
though they are neither at work nor
at play, but browsing in a chair in a
crowded smoking-room, will not go to
bed until one or two o'clock in the
morning. 1t looks as if they had
bound themselves under q solemn
vow not to do so. This is a sure way

IN RAIL DISASTER
NEW YORK CENTRAL SUBURBAN
ELECTRIC TRAIN is
WRECKED.
Cars Flung from Track-One Hundred
and Forty-five Passengers, Nearly
All of Them Women, Are MangIed
and Bruised.

New York, Feb. 18-Twenty-one
dead and las others more or less seri-
ously injured, is the result of the
wreck of an electric express train on
the New York Central railroad at
Two Hundred and Fifth street and
Webster avenue Saturday night.
OF the large number of injured, so
according to hospital and police re-
ports, are seriously hurt and the death
list may be increased within the next
"a hours Most of the others are suf-
fering from decorations or shock, and
will recover.
Cars Hurled from Track.
Four cars of the train, which was
drawn by two big electric locomotives
and running at high speed, left the
track and plunged down an embank-
ment.
The wreck occurred on a curve, and
so great was the momentum of the
train that the cars which left the
track were dragged along the ties and
shattered to bits. The rear coach,
which was filled mainly by women,
snapped from the train, rolled over
and over and finally collapsed, mass
of splintered wood and twisted steel,
while the bodies of dead and injured
passengers were strewn for 100 yards
along Woodlawn avenue.
Crowded with Women.
The train, which was made up of
the two motors, combination bag
gage car and smoker and four pas
senger coaches, left the Grand Central
station at 6:13 o'clock. 1t was crowd
ed with women on their way home
from matinees, and with commuters
for White Plains and points beyond.
After making the stop at One Hun
dred and Twenty-fifth street, the train
without stop. 1t had clear track,
and was making unusually fast time.
At Woodlawn avenue the four
tracks run through rocky cut and
take sharp curve. When the train
reached the curve both motors and
the smoking car swung safely around,
but the cars following left the rails
and, plung1ng over on their sides with
terrific crash, tore up the tracks and
after sliding 100 yards collapsed.
Dead StreWn on Track.
The dead and dying were strewn
along the tracks Many of the vic
Tins were almost unacceptable. In
being dragged along the cinders and
coal dust had been so ground into
their faces and the exposed parts of
their bodies that it was with difficulty
that the rescuers could tell whether
they were white or black. Many of
them had their clothing torn off and
were almost nude when found.
Ambulances and surgeons from
every hospital in Bronxborough and
from Bellevue, and the police reserves
from many stations were soon on hand
and the work of rescue was carried
on rapidly.
