BANK CASHIER
STOLE $4,000
Pittsburg Institution Hard Hit Bot

THEFT LONG CONTINUED
Accused 10 Arrested and Placed Under Bond
Of $50, ,ooo-Had Been With the In
stitutioa for Twenty Years.
THEFT LONG CONTINUED

William Montgomery. cashier of the
Allegheny National Bank at Pittsburg,
Pa, for over twenty years. was ar
rested Thursday on a charge of en-
bezzling $4,000 of the banks fund&
He was later arraigned before United
States Commissioner Lindsay and
held for the federal grand jury under
Q bond Of $4,000. which was fur
nished.
The financial standing Of the bank is
IN no wise affected by the defalcation.
as 1t is in a position to bear the loss
without embarrassment.
The alleged defalcation was discov-
cred and the complaint filed by Ma
tional Bank Examiner William l.
Folds. Soon after the close of bank
ing hours the warrant was issued and
the arrest followed.
According to Examiner Folds. the
peculations have gone on for several
years and were covered up on the oc-
casion of each visit of the examiners
by means of a cashiers check.
The recent defalcation for more
than 100000 by two employees Of
the Farmers Deposit National Bank
is said to be indirectly responsible for
the discovery In the Allegheny Ma
tional Since the exposure of the pee
ulation in the Farmers, 1t is said.
most of the banks Of the city have
been shifting clerks from one posi-
ton to another for the purpose Of dis
covering Irregularities should any ex.
list. Through such shift suspicion
was aroused in connection with the
affairs with the Allegheny National.
The Allegheny National Is one oi
the Oldest and generally regarded al
one Of the strongest institutions In the
city. It has been more or less asso
ciated with the politics Of western
Pennsylvania, and its directors room
was the scene Of many important pol
itical conferences. particularly during
the life OF the late Senator Quay.
News of the arrest came as shocl
to his acQuaintancss. and has cause<
q sensation.

COSTLY BLAZE
In ATLANTA
Property Valued at Over Million
Dollars Totally Destroyed.
WHOLE BLOCK IN ASHES
Thirty-0ns Newly Erected Buildings in
Terminal Station District Gone and
Forty-Two Firms Burned Out.

The most disastrous confagration
that Atlanta. ever experienced in her
past history occurred last Friday morn
ing. when flames originating in big
bakery building, spread in three d.
rections and were not checked until
property valued at more than a mill
lion dollars was in ashes. There were
no casualties.
A total of thirty-one store houses
were destroyed In the section of the
city adjoining the terminal station.
The total loss on buildings and
stocks is estimated at $1,250,OOO.
One whole block, bounded by Mitch
ell street, Forsyth street, Madison ave-
nue. and Nelson street. and the north
side of Mitchell street, with three
stores of Forsyth street, were left a
mass of smoking ruins.
The insurance on property destroy
cu Is SoZf,OoO.
Fcrty-two firms were burned out.
Over one thousand people have been
thrown out of employment.
The fire originated in the candy de-
partment of the Schlesinger bakery,
at the corner of Nelson street and Mad
ison avenue, about 3:45 o'clock in the
morning, and it was under full head
way before 1t was discovered and the
alarm given. Men were at work in
the bakery CT the factory at the time.
How the fire originated Is not known.
The largest losers through the fire
are the following: s. NJ Inman, s400,-
900; Harry Schlesinger, 100000;
Liquid Carbonic Co., $4,000; Atlanta
Brewing and Ice Co., 100000; Dabney
H. Scoville, $4,000; w. P. Inman Es-
tate, $4,000; Mcclure Ten Cent Co.,
$4,000: Schlesinger-Meyer, $4,000 /;
Warren Manufacturing Co.. $4,000;
West Disinfecting Co., $4,000; Binder
Frame Manufacturing Co., $4,000;
Piedmont Hat Co., $4,000; Terminal
Hotel Furnishings, $4,000.
The other losses varied from $1,000
to $4,000 each, and there were 25
in this class listed among these WAC
were cleaned out.
Property owners announce that the
work of rebuilding will be begun as
soon as possible.
Never has the spirit which built At
lanta and which has made it famous
manifested itself to more remarkable
degree. While the flames were still
eating away their stocks Of goods,
merchants and manufacturers already
were making arrangements to reopen
their stores at some other available
| location.
Before the flames were well under
| control, tenants had contracted with
owners for the rebuilding of the stores
On old sites, and owners of buildings
were already making plans for the
erection of larger and better struc
lures.
The burned section Of the city has
grown faster probably in the last few
years-since the erection of the hand
some terminal station-than any 9th
er section has ever grown in the his
tory of Atlanta, with the exception
possibly of Whitehall street after the
completion OF the viaduct
The plans to make this section one
of the leading business districts O
Atlanta will be carried on with re
newed determination.

REPRESENTATIVES, KEEP
 TIMBER INDEFINITELY

oughly seasoned timber is both stronger and more durable than the same timber when green. Timber which was killed by fire or insects and which is still in a sound condition. differs from green tim Der chiefly In being thoroughly seasoned that Is to say 1t is stronger, more dur able and lighter. And so not only are the freight rates considerably reduced, but better grade of timber Is secured.
 Even in a thoroughly seasoned condi- ton, lodgepole pine, Englemann spruce, and the other species mentioned above, are by no means durable woods when compared with Douglas fir, Oregon cedar and the other kinds of wood which are used so extensively in construction work. And before they can successfully com pete with such timbers, in spite of their lower price, they must be made to last longer under unfavorable conditions
 After several years study, the United States forest service has proved that in many cases the complicated and expeD- sive plants are not necessary for the proper treatment of many kinds of tim

cal timbers, and careful record kept ot the cost of the work. The treated tim Der will then be placed in permanent po- sition, whefe it's future durability can be compared with untreated timber of the same or other kinds.
 Three such plants will be erected this spring, and it is expected that they will be in successful operation by early sum- mer. According to the present plans one plant will be erected at some local ity on or near the Black Hills national forest, South Dakota, another on the Holy Cross national forest in Colorado, and the third on the Henrys Lake na- tional forest. near St. Anthony, Idaho.
 The investigations in wood preservation by the use of creosote, which is nothing more than the dead oil of coal tar and zinc chlorid, is considered of such im- portance by the government that one branch of bureau in the department of agriculture--the office of wood preserva- tion" in the forest service-is given over entirely to the work of experiments in cooperation with railroad companies, mining corporations and individuals who desire to prolong the life of the timber which they use. Advice and practical as- sistance is furnished all who request 1t of the forester at Washington.
