Arrest caused sensation.

The arrest of Gimbel, a man OF
wealth and member OF prominent
and prosperous firm, married, and OF
hitherto spotless reputation, caused
great surprise Thursday afternoon. He
was taken from a cab in this city IN
company with lvor Clark. a 16-year-
old boy. by detectives who acted on
complaint Of Clark's parents. Gimbel.
according to the detectives, resorted "
an attempt at bribery, and offered the
detectives $4,000 IL they would release
him. The detectives apparently con-
sented, and demanding the cash, were
driven with Gimbel to his bankers Of
flee here, and given $4,000. They then
informed Gimbel that an additional
charge of attempted bribery would be
placed against him, and took him TO
the district attorneys office, where 1t -
alleged that Gimbel, who keenly felS
his >predicament, offered Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Krotel any amount oI
money to gain his release
Never Rsached Home.
Later Gimbel was released on heavy
bail. and started, ostensibly, for his
home In Philadelphia. He never reached
there. Instead, he went to the Palace
hotel in Hoboken, and there, with Jag
ged glass obtained from a water pitch
.er, which he broke, he cut his throat IN
many places, and gashed his left wrist.
He was discovered several hours ats
erward, almost dead from loss oI
blood. AT ST. aMary's hospital, to wAich
place he was removed Friday night, It
was thought for time that his life
might be saved, but Sunday he began
suddenly to fail. and late last night
hope was abandoned.

Washington, April 22.-In deciding
several cases brought to it by the saw
ings banks in Des Moines. the supreme
court of the United States today held
that government bonds in which the
capital stock of such banks is invested
are exempt from taxation. The text
of the opinion was delivered by Justice
Moody. The Iowa supreme court, in
deciding the cases.. laid down the gen
eral doctrine that general exemption
from state taxation with which bonds
Of the United States are clothed, does
not entitle the bank to deduct the
amounts Of such bonds from the value
OF the shares Of their stock, which are
assessed to it for the purpose of tax

versed that ruling on the ground that
the course outlined is "to clearly direct
a tax on securities of the United States
and is therefore not permissible" The
chief justice and Justices Harlan and
Peckham dissented.

tence Of death in st. Louis, on a
charge of numbering James p. Nc
