BY BOLD ROBBER.
Takes One Mans Watch and Cash
and Lets Others Keep
Their Belongings.

| Special Dispatch to The Star
| NEWARK. \. j.. October 17.-One OF
the boldest hold-ups that has occurred in
| the state was pulled off tonight Just
! three miles out of Red Bank and on the
Rumson road. one of the most travelled
roads of the state.
Thomas NJ. McCarter. president OF the
public service corporation OF New Jersey
and former attorney general of New Jer-
sey: H. NJ. Alexander former president
OF the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
and j. NJ. Terry of New York were held
up by a highwayman and robbed while
in an automobile on their way to Nc
Carters country home at Oceanic.
Today was McCarters fortieth birth
day. lie and his wife had planned a
little celebration at their country home
at Oceanic. Among others invited were
Alexander and Terry, both old friends
of McCarters
The party left Newark in Mr.. McCar-
ters automobile shortly before O'clock
and planned to reach Oceanic in time
for dinner. There Mrs. McCarter and
some other guests awaited them.
Everything went without a hitch on
the trip down until the car neared Mid
dletown. 1t was then dark. The chauf-
four was running at slower rate of
speed.
Those in the tOnneau of the car were
laughing and chatting. when suddenly
the chauffeur brought the car to a
quick stop.
whats wrong asked McCarter
There's a tree across the road ahead.
I think" said the chauffeur.
The chauffeur then got out and found
a big tree stretching across the road and
found also that it was too heavy for him
to lift out of the way. All the gentlemen
got out of the car to assist him. While
they were bending over him man
stepped out of the clump of dense shub-
berry near the roadway.
Hands up everybody. please" he said.
McCarter was too amazed at first to
realize that he was being literally held
up by highwaymen within three miles of
Red Bank and was slow getting his hands
up.
BE quick" said the man. I'm sorry.
but I will have to take what cash and
jewelry you have" he said.
McCarter withOu. word handed over
a gold watch. fifty dollars in cash and
a stickpin.

Alexander said nothing. but he made

and then suddenly bolted back into the
woods and out of sight
1t was after o'clock when the automo-
bile party finally reached Oceanic, and
then it became known that while the
hghwayman got so in cash. there was
nearly $1,000 among the three men.

fAVORS A HIGHER STANDARD
LOCAL CHAPTER, INSTITUTE OF
BANKING. GIVES VIEWS.
Believes Examination Of Banks
Should Be More Thorough-Hold
Social Session.

The Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Banking went on record
last evening at the first meeting of the
sea son. held in the clubroomS al 1214 r
street. in favor of the raising of the
standard of the present system of bank
examinations by NATIONAL bank examin-
ers The recent efforts of Lawrence y.
Murray. controller of the currency, in the
direction indicated were approved.
resolution was adopted setting forth
that lit has long been apparent to bank
ers that the prest system of national
bank examinations is faulty. tending to
produce superficial examinations. and as
the banking business is based upon the
confidence the people generally have in
banking institutions. and the present
method of examinations weakens this
confidence. it is resolved that as the
American Institute of Banking. has gone
on record at the late convention held in
Providence in July as favoring number
of amendments to the national bank act.
the Washington Chapter should also vote
upon the question.
Urges Amendment of Law.
The recommendation was made that the
national bank act be amended as follows
THE payment of fees to bank exam
iners in compensation for examination of
national banks shall be abolished, and in
lieu thereof the payment of salaries COM
mensurate with the abilities required OF
said examiners and the duties they are
called upon to perform.
The number of national bank eXamin-
ers shall be increased to such an extent
as may be necessary to assure thor
ouSh and competent examination OF every
national bank twice a year.
mo person shall be appointed national
bank examiner until he has passed
thorough and rigid examination. estab-
fishing his competency to perform the du
ties required of such Office.
AFTER an examiner has been appointed
he shall not be removed from office except
for cause"

The story OF the glacial period has
not been half told. Its wonders are
increasing every day. 1t is the last of
the great geological epochs. and has
not yet passed away. Greenland is
still shivering under the rigors of
glacial conditions. With the excep-
ton Of a narrow belt of mountains
around the southern end, the whole
continent, some 100000 square miles
in extent is still buried beneath ice
from one mile to two miles deep.
while the antarctic continent, with a
still greater area, is so completely en-
veloped in ice that explorers have yet
been able to penetrate only the
merest fringe at two or three points.
But during the glacial period prop
er the ice to a depth of more than a
mile covered 100000 square miles

A granite bowlder near Lebanon, O.,
which was brought by the ice from
Canada, measures II by 13 feet, with
eight feet out of ground, and evidently

But Prof. Orton has described mass
of Clinton limestone in Freeport, War

northern Iowa contains a great num-
ber Of powders of exceptional size,
brought from several hundred miles
away. One Of them furnished build.
ing stone enough to construct an en-.

Although these transported powders
are such striking witnesses to the slow
but majestic movement Of glacial ice
during the glacial period, they are by
no means the only ones. As the ice
slowly crept over the surface frag-
ments of rock became frozen into its
lower strata. and powders, gravel,
sand and clay were dragged along be-
meath it. furrowing and scratching
and polishing the surface of the rock
to an astonishing degree Almost
anywhere over this glaciated area the
removal Of the soil will reveal
scratched and polished rocks under
meath. The direction of the scratches
and the grooves shows the direction
in which the ice was moving at the
time they were made. This was, in
the main, outward, toward the mar
gin Of the glaciated area which we
have described, but there were many
curious variations. In central Ohio
the direction Of the glacial scratches
Is southeast, whereas on the islands
in the western part of Lake Erie 1t
is very nearly west. At Logansport,
Ind, extensive grooves and scratches
have been found where the movement
is toward the north. This variation
in the direction of the grooves and
scratches indicates that there were
eddfes in the ice, such as are found in
the current of deep, slow-moving
stream of water. The grooves on the
islands in the western end of Lake
Erie are among the most remarkable
in the world. One groove, in hard
corniferous limestone, was about 20
feet broad and eight feet deep, extend
ing for long distance across Kelley
island. The surface of this groove is
most finely polished, corals and other
fossils being cut OF as sharply as
could be done by any graver's tool.
The direction of these grooves In the
bed o: Lake Erie is evidently due to
the act that the depression OF the
lake diverted the ice movement in its
closing stages in the direction of 1t:
longer diameter toward the natural
outlet on the vest.

conditions of Greenland, and found
them continuous for thousands of
miles. Alaska still retains the stumps
of this great glacier. several hundred
square miles being covered by the
Muir glacier alone, and still larger
area by the Malaspina glacier, which
comes down from Mount St. Elias.
In Europe the ice fields radiated from
the Scandinavian peninsula, extending
across the North sea to southern Eng
land, and across the Baltic to central
Germany and southeastern Russia.
In thinking of the glacial period 1t
should be kept clearly in mind that
glacial ice is simply compressed snow.
Glaciers are formed wherever there is
a snowfall which exceeds the melting
power Of the warm season. Everyone
is familiar with the fact that snow
ball may be made as hard as ice by
sufficient pressure in the hands.
That ice in great masses could flow
like cold tar or molasses or any other
semi-f1uid seemed, until short time
ago, impossible, and did not enter into
70 years ago it was demonstrated in
Switzerland that the ice was actually
moving down the valleys, proceeding,
not like an avalanche, but creeping
with true flow, and carrying on its
back and frozen into its mass frag-
ments of rock of varying sizes. some
of them being as large as a small
house. Under the lee Of one of these
rock masses on top of the Aar glacier
Agassiz built him hut, and conducted
many of his important observations.
The great extent of this glacial
movement in former times was shown
by the distance which some of these
powders had been carried.
In North America the transportation
of powders by glacial ice has been
even more remarkable. The back
bone of Cape Cod and Long Island. a
line of hills from one hundred to two
hundred feet high, and two or three
miles broad, is simply a pile of bowl
