BOTH MEN HAVE CONFESSED

Pittsburg. March 2S.-Henry Reiber,
paying teller, and John Young, auditor
of the Farmers Deposit National
bank, accused of .misappIication of
funds to the extent of $1,105,000 of the
bank, are still held in $250,000 bail
each. This is the largest bail ever
asked for defendants in the United
States, court of this district.
Three important facts have been
ascertained in relation to the embez-
element. These are that the investi-
cation has closed and that the exact
amount taken is 81, 900, that the
two men have made a full confession
and that no one else in the bank is in
any way connected with the defalca-
ton. 1t is also known that of the to-
tai amount taken from the funds of
the bank $4,000 was stolen within
three years. Young and Reiber can be
indicted and sentenced on charges in
volving that amount. During the last
year 100000, in round figures was
stolen. Should the defendants be
sentenced for each of the many
charges of false entries and embezzle-
ment, the penalties would aggregate
$3.50 years in the penitentiary.

BLIND TO FORM SOCIETY

In order to bring about a condition
whereby they might enjoy at least some
of the pleasures of life of which they are
now bereft. the adult blind of the state
of Utah propose to form an organization,
whose object will be the closer union in
friendship of the afflicted ones, as well
as the helpful self-aid which il is hoped
the society will be the means of promot-
ing.
A call for convention has been issued
to be held in the Latter-day Saints univer-
sity, at 2 o'clock Tuesday, April Z. The
meeting will be held in room % The call
is made by a committee consisting of
Marie Hanson of Manti. COray Hanks of
Heber and S. w. Jenkins of Salt Lake
Miss Hanson is a graduate of the school
for the blind at Ogden and is now at the
L. ID. s. university. Mr.. Hanks, a grad
uate of the Brigham Young university,
was stricken after receiving his diploma
The aim of the promoters of the asso-
citation is TO render the unfortunate vic
Tins of blindness less dependable upon
their relatives by taking up cooperative
industry by means of which it is hoped
to put to the best uses the faculties which
remain to them. The further purpose,
and, indeed, the chief one, is the promo
ton of social life by reading and listen
ing to others read and otherwise becoming
sensible of many of the pleasures of life
Which, by reason of their affliction, the
blind are forbidden.

GIBSON APPEARS IN COURT

Doc" Gibson, a former stool pigeon"
of Sheriff Emery, was resurfected from
the county jail yesterday morning, after
he had waited more than three months for
a preliminary hearing on the charge of
burglary, and taken before Police Judge
Diehl. His examination was set for next
Monday.
Gibson, it is alleged, went to a rooming
house in Second South. street. near Com
mercial, on Dec q last, and, pretending
that he was a deputy sheriff. forced his
way into the room occupied by Big
Charlie" Larson, where he beat and rob-
bed the man. Larson. was laborer from
the salt works near Saltair and Gibson.
apparently thinking that he had consid-
cradle money, had followed him for two
days.
After his arrest. Gibson insisted that he
was connected with Sheriff Emery's Of
flee and had been ordered to search Lar
sons room.
The delay in taking Gibson into court
was caused by Sheriff Emery's desire to
detain Gibson until after the trial of Joe
Sullivan, the highWayman who was re-
Gently convicted of the murder of Po-
! liceman Charles S. Ford. 1t is said that
Gibson was to have been used as a wit
ness at the trial, but it was decided not

moment.
van at the state penitentiary when both
were confined there. He talked with the
highwayman a few hours before the Ford
murder and learned that Sullivan was
planning a robbery with Garcia and
Owen. He informed Sheriff Emery of
what he had learned and then invited
sullivan to his room, so as to detain him
until two deputy sheriffs arrived to
shadow the criminal. Sullivan managed
to elude the deputy sheriffs.

SIGNERS ARE WEAKENING,

While the county attorney and others
who have been called upon through pc
tition signed by twenty-four prominent
business men of Ogden to suppress gam
bling in this city apparently remain mac
tive. there is something doing between
those who circulated the petition and
those who signed the document.
On Friday ]. S. Carver. a local grocer,
came out with a statement that the firm
of ]. S. Carver & Sons was not placed on
the petition by him. This was taken by
that they had used the name without first
securing the proper permission. Yesterday
P. +. Sherwood, one of those who have
been active in promoting the present
movement against gambling. came out
with a statement over his own signature
which places a somewhat different color
on the matter. Me says of Mr.. Carver:
'In reply to your assertion which ap-
peared in last nights Journal and which
places the undersigned in an uncertain
light before the public, l will affirm that
we visited your store on March 10. / in
qured. for you and was told by your son,
supposedly a member of the firm of j.
S. Carver & Sons, that you were out. At
ter reading the petition addressed to
County Attorney II. j. Harris for the sup
preston of gambling in Ogden City, he,
as a member of said firm, signed the firm
name. Whether he exceeded his author
ity in so doing is matter of private
dealing between yourself and him.
Some of the others who attached their
names to the document apparently have
had a change of heart since doing so,
and have been busy since offering apol-
ogies to those against whom the petition
was directed

SECOND DIVISION IN OGDEN
Large Number Of Unemployed Are
Cared For-More Are Ex-
pected From West,

The second division of the vast army of
unemployed men moving eastward ar
rived in Ogden on Southern Pacific
freight train last evening. Eighty-six
men from all points of Nevada, Califor-
MIA and Washington made up the party.
The entire crowd was loaded into a re-
frigerator car At this point they were
met by the Southern Pacific and city
officers and fifty-eight were taken into
custody. One-half of this number were
cared for by the city last night.
At police headquarters each member of
the motley gathering was closely ques-
toned and all of those having money with
which to purchase a nights lodging were
allowed to go. Twenty-four were with
cut money and were given something to
eat and a place to sleep at. the police
station. All promised to leave Ogden this
Included in the throng were mechanics
representing all crafts. All expressed
eagerness to secure work and said they
were willing to go anywhere in search of
1t. The tWenty-fOur who were allowed
to leave the police station had amounts
ranging from 80 cents to $40 and with
the exception of a very few all presented
the appearance of worklngmen; Accord
ing to the story told by them other gangs
equally large may be expected on each
train from the west for some days.
One man in the crowd was evidently a
deserter from the navy. While others
were being examined at the station house
he entered the toilet room, where he dis
carded a navy uniform which he wore be-
meath suit of civilians clothing. He
was one of the number allowed to depart
and his scheme was not discovered until
he was gone.
The men boarded the train at Winnie
mucca, New, on Friday. News of their
coming was wired to Southern Pacific
headquarters and the local authorities
were appealed to. Although the officers
were waiting when the train arrived,
twenty-eight succeeded in escaping in the
darkness. Following the patrol wagon
the fifty-eight men lined up in a double
column and were marched up Twenty
fifth street by the officers. Many of them
carried bundles of blankets and clothing.
The spectacle was such as was never be-
fore seen in Ogden.
Mayor Brewer called at police headquar-
tiers while the men were being examined
and, upon learning that they had had
nothing to eat all day. ordered that they
be fed. Another meal will be provided
this morning.
One of the men, claiming to hail from
Kentucky, was so ill that the city ply
stefan was called to treat him. He will
be turned over to the county today

PLAIN TRUTH
From Thirty Years Experience.

The plain truth from simple, honest
folks, is the very best testimony any
one can ask. Here's what a n. H. man
says about coffee:
las 1 have had so years experience
with coffee and it's effects, 1 may be
permitted to say something pertinent
to the subject.
MY appetite began to fail, food dis
turbed my stomach, bowels became
badly constipated, was restless, sleep
so greatly disturbed I dreaded to go to
bed.
My stomach got so bad I could not
eat anything for supper but milk and a
cracker. In the evening 1 would be so
thirsty nothing would satisfy me but
cup of strong, cold coffee.
Coffee was my invariabIe drink for
breakfast, with doughnut or piece of
toast. ! was all the time consulting the
doctor, taking digestive preparations
TO help the stomach, and cathartics TO
move the bowels, frequently having at
tacks of terrible pain in the bowels
which would necessitate calling the
doctor.
After many years of this, I became
convinced that something must be
done.
AT last I got hold Of Postum and
began using 1t in place of coffee, and
have continued TO use it daily for the
past s years. The improvement was
gradual, but sure. For the system re-
quires time to recover from the dam
age done by coffee and feel the full
benefits of Postum.
Improvement has continued from
the very first to the present. Digestion
grew better. bowels became regular.

good snight's sleep with pleasure.
'-The change from coffee to Postum
has made wonderful change in my
condition. II could not be expected
that a man 81, when a years and II
months service in the army, could be
made young again. But 1 do honestly
believe I state the plain truth when /
say that if had not changed from cof-
fee 10 Postum I should have been. by
this time. a helpless invalid, il alive. -

TO BUILD RESIDENCE HALL
Young Women Who Attend West
minister College Will Have New
and Commodious Quarters.

The girls who attend Westminster col
lege will have a residence hall ready for
occupancy by August. The Rev. Robert
NJ. Stevenson, d. D., the president of the
college, announces that the $4,000 neces-
sary for the erection OF the building is
available and has instructed Edwin Lii
jenberg, architest, TO prepare the speci-
ficatiOns in accordance with tho plans
drawn by him and to advertise for bids
for the construction of the building. The
new building will rest on a foundation
already laid. The completion of the struc-
ture at the time of placing the founda-
ton was delayed because of the fact that
all of the money necessary was not at
hand.
The building will be lis feet long and 40
feet wide and will be three stories in
height, including the basement. II will
have accommodations for forty girls and
six teachers. There will be ample prOVi-
sion for kitchen, dining room, laundry
servants quarters and other necessary
branches of the residence service. Its To-
cation will be near Converse hall. the
handsome building completed last sum-
mer, toward whose erection John H.
Converse, the president of the Baldwin
Locomotive works, gave $4,000.
In addition to the new residence for the
girls it is proposed to erect a building for
boys, a large portion of the money nee
essary for the purpose being already in
the hands of DR.. Stevenson, or better
perhaps, to say that $31, 900 will be avail
able whenever the president calls for IT,
Among other improvements, a heating
plant to cost 900 is soon to be erected
Half of the money necessary for this pur-
pose is already available. The college has
its own water service, equipped with great
tanks and immense pumps. The supply is
of the purest.
All of the buildings of the college will
be located in the form of a crescent, the
idea being ultimately to form a circle
with driveways and flower gardens in the
center.
Much of the credit for the success of
the plans for the girls residence is due

Of the president. who, when her father
was i'll during the winter, visited eastern
cities in behalf of the residence. She is

BOYS MUST DRIVE WITH CARE
Crusade Against Reckless Delivery
Wagon Jehus Begins-Judge
Gunnell Makes Good.

War has been declared on the reckless
boys who drive delivery wagons and
whose recklessness has been declared a
menace to public safety by the police
department. which is cooperating with
the juvenile court in the matter. Some
of the boys were up in police court yes
terday morning and others have been
taken in charge by Juvenile Judge Gun
nell.
Reprimanding the boys repeatedly has
so far failed to bring about a betterment
of conditions and vigorous prosecution
has been determined upon as the only
means of remedying the evil.
After hearing which lasted for a
considerable time a boy named Nelson
who gave his age as 20 was fined SO by
Police Judge Murphy. He was arrested
yesterday morning for fast driving across
the street intersections. Among those who
testified against the boy was Juvenile
Judge Gunnen, who said that he had
asked the young man to cease his reck-
less driving on previous occasions
MyrOn Campbell charged with a SIM
liar offense, forfeited his bail bond by his
non-appearance when the case was called
in the city court yesterday morning
Clarence Nelson, blacksmith who in
terfered in an argument between Judge
Nelson's. had his nose pullel by the jurigt
and was aided from the entrance to the
police station by the judges right foot.
Later Nelson was arrested and put up a
bail bond of SO on charge of disturb
ing the peace.
The offending blacksmith's brother had
just been fined in police court for reck-
less driving and Judge Gunnell had APP
peared as witness against him. The
boy took some exception to what the
judge had said on the witness stand and
before the argument had gone very far
Clarence Nelson called the judge a liar
whereupon the judge seized him by the
nose, which he twisted with some vigor
He then grabbed Nelson by the ears and
forced him against the wall, Apparently
believing that the man had not been chas-
tised sufficiently the jurist seized him by
the coat collar and after forcing him
toward the door kicked him out. Nelson
began abusing the judge from outside the
door and was arrested for disturbing the

MAY USE ARMED GUARDS.
Southern Pacific Objects to Conduct
of Train Steafinu Hoboes.

The twelve hoboes arrested in the rail-
road yards Friday night after beating
their way to Ogden from the western
part of Nevada, in company with a score
or more of other weary Willies'' were
each sentenced to serve ten days on the
municipal rock pile by City Judge Muir
ply yesterday.
The railroad officials are considering the
question of what to do with this class of
men when they take possession of train
as was the case on Friday. They claim
it does but little if any good to arrest
them, and they are seriously considering
the plan of placing armed guards on all
freight trains to prevent repetition of
Fridays happening.
