Germ is ARRESTED.
Port Huron Man Pecuiates Funds Of
United Home Protectors, Using
Them in Speculation.

Port Huron, Mich.-An investigation
into the affairs of the United Home
Protectors fraternity of this city, or
dered by the state banking commits
sioner, ended Thursday with the an
nouncement that Supreme Secretary
w. l.. Wilson of this city is short
sum in excess of $4,000, and his ar
rest in the afternoon on the charge of
embezzlement.
State Banking Commissioner Zim-
norman, who took charge of the at-
fairs of the fraternity Thursday,
states that Secretary Wilson had been
investing heavily IN electric railroad
promotion and in oil and mining
stocks. He says that Wilson's pecula-
tions were committed by means OF
continuing on the books of the frater-
nifty, which operated a building and
loan business, as live assets mortgages
and certificates of the association
which had been paid. Mr.. thinner
man says that the fraternity is hope
lessly insolvent and that he will apply
for receiver.
Secretary Wilson, when confronted
with the facts discovered, admitted ap-
propriating the funds of the associa'
tion to his private use for many
years" says Mr.. Zimmerman.
The amount of his shortage is un-
certain. but as far as the investiga.
tion has proceeded it looks as though
the shortage will net a larger amount
than $4,000"

ternity was organized IA years age
under a special act of the legislature
and conducted building and loan
doing business only among it's own
members. There are about 100 subor-
dinate lodges scattered throughout
both the upper and lower peninsulas
of Michigan, with total membership
of about $500.

DiaboIo Not Popular Then.

A hundred and thirty-two boys and
72 girls in a Partisan school were in

81 voted for a railway train, 23 for

nine for building bricks and eight
each for toy typewriters and mechan-

CHINA MAY COME NEXT
Any Other Bids Probably Will Be De-

Arranged in Wash

Washington.-The American battle
ship fleet is to visit Japan. The de-

was laid before Secretary Root Thurs
day by Baron Takahira, the Japanese
ambassador.
The invitation which was couched
in most cordial terms, was made the
subject of extended consideration by
President Roosevelt and his entire
cabinet Friday. Secretary Root was
directed to accept the invitation and
the acceptance was laid before the
Japanese ambassador late in the day.
1t is regarded in official circles here
as more than likely that China will be
next to bid for look at the fleet, and
that should this be the case the invi-

Young Mems Chief Fault.

The fault with most young men is
that they are indolent and inclined to
Ehirk their duty. The man who always
tries to get off as easy as possible, and
when working for others does as little
as possible for the wages that he re-
ceives, viii never advance, and never
amount to anything in life. Every
young man should through all his bust
ness career constantly keep in mind
the parable of the faithful servant and
the reward given to him: Because
thou hast been faithful in very little,
have thou authority over ten cities. "
How many young men nowadays pay
any heed to this? asks the New York
Weekly. They all want to be great, 20
be successful, but they will not take
pains with little things and work their
way gradually to the top. They want
to jump to the top rung of the ladder
right away. They all desire to be-
come Vanderbilts or Rockefellers or
MOrgans, but they throw away fool
ishly whatever money they earn be-
cause they hope some day to make it
In great quantities. A young man am
bilious to succeed in life should from
the very start make it clear for him
self that he must work hard and plod
along, every day accomplishing the
duties belonging to that day, and if he
does this and leaves no duty undone,
he will be sure to find his reward,
first in a clear conscience. and ulti-
mately in success, but he must not ex,
pect success or wealth to drop down
into his lap without any effort on his
part.

Des Moines, Ia.-Des Moines is
facing a coal famine. On April
every mine in the state of Iowa will
close down. Not ton of coal will be
mined. Just how long the mines will
remain closed cannot be told now, but
coal dealers believe that the shutdown
will be for a month at least. Every
mining company in this city is storing
it's coal now. Factories and large con-
sumers OF coal have prepared for the
shutdown. Many of them have leased
extra ground and have been storing
coal.

The Standard Oil Company has in
stituted barge service across the Al
lantic ocean for the transportation Of
oil in bulk. Two large steel barges
will be towed back and forth by oil
carrying steamers. The fact that
the steel hawser Of one Of the barges
mas a length of 5000 feet is cited as
evidence Of the danger Of the new
service. A gap Of three-ffths Of 4
mile between steamer and tow is wide
enough to let in trouble during dark
