Talk of Traitors.

But the interesting development of the
day was the talk of traitors to the cause
of the Utah woolgrowers. 1t was claimed
that wool buyers have offered temptations
to leaders in the movement for the pur
pose of removing them from an active
participation in the fight for better
prices, in the expectation that the plan
for the storing of the '0s clip in Bos-
ton will then fan through. The names
of prominent sheepmen, 1t was said, are
being used by the buyers TO induce small
woolgrowers to consign their clips to COM
mission houses.
Secretary Stewart, when asked about
the rumOrs, refused to discuss them
f'What one or two men may do for selfish
reason will not affect the general re-
suit" he said. For my part. 1 would
be unwilling to believe that the buyers
could influence any of our men,"

Bank Came Through With
a Confession.

cry. cashier of the Allegheny National
bank of this city until last Thursday,
when he was arrested upon complaint of
National Bank Examiner William +.
Folds, charged with embezzlement of $780,
600, was late today surrendered by his
bondsmen.
II was generally reported that this ac-
ton was due to the discovery of pecula-
tions far in excess of the amount named
in the original charge. but this Examiner
Folds and the banks officials refused to
confirm tonight.
All concerned stated in most emphatic
terms that the bank would be bic to
survive whatever loss had been sustained.
and that it would open for business as
usual tomorrow morning and meet ali
demands.
Explaining his request to the bondsmen
to surrender the former cashier, Examiner
Folds said:
Ever since his arrest we have been
urging Mr.. Montgomery to make state
ment regarding the shortage. but he has
remained silent and | asked his bonds
which he did. / also asked the district
attorney to increase the bonds to $780,
GOO, believing that Mr.. Montgomery could
not provide such a bond. and that a pc
Rod in Jail would induce him to give US
information regarding the disposition of
the money which he had previously ad-
mitted taking from the bank. Confronted
by this situation, Mr.. Montgomery agreed
TO talk, and | took a statement from him.
That statement ] cannot make public at
this time. He also agreed to make de-
tailed sworn statement tomorrow.
in the meantime the bond had been
increased to 100000, and. upon condition
that Mr. Montgomery answer all ques-
tions, George Z. Tener and Richard r.
QUAY signed the bond.
Securities nave been recovered from
Montgomery in an amount TO insure. in
connection with certain other plans, the

LIFE SAVED BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
HAVE MONEY ENOUGH.

Laporte, Ind, May 12.-Evidence to es-
tablish the identity of three additional
victims of Mrs. Belle Guinness was the
most positive development of a day filled
with contradictory happenings here to-
day.
Both prosecution and defense. received
setbacks from the discoveries and revela-
tons, but, on the whole, substantial prog
ress was made toward bringing the case
TO the stage where ii will be transferred
TO the courts.
The reports of the four physicians who
conducted the pcst-mOTtem examination
on the bodies found in the ruins of the
Guinness home were given to the coroner
this morning. They fail 10 establish the
manner in which the women and three
children met death, and il is probable that
the corOners jury will return an open
verdict regarding them.

Result Still Doubtful.

Albany. y. Y. May 12.-With the cleo
ton of an additional senator pledged to

ton of Senator Foelker of Brooklyn. who

sence of any other change. the new sen
ator's vote would only preserve the tie of
