New York, Nov. &C. L. Warmer.
until week ago local treasurer at Gin
cinnatl of the Big Four railroad, one
of the Vanderbilt lines, stole $643, zoo
from that company before he was ey-
en- suspected OF being a thief by his
superiors in the railroad service.
Announcement to this effect was
made from the office OF Albert H. Har.
ris, vice president of the Big Four:
whose headquarters are in the Grand
Central station.
This is the brief and formal type
written statement handed out by Mr..
Harris:
"The amount of the defalcation is
found to be $643, 900. Warmer has
turned over to the company property
amounting to more than 100000 and
there will be received from the surety
company on it's bond $4,000. leaving
the net amount of the shortage some
thing less than S500,000..F =
'The method which Warmer
adopted was to cover his defalcations
in the item of cash in transit. At the
end of each month there are consider.
able sums of money on their way to
the local treasurer from station agents
and others which have not been re-
ceived by him. 1t was by including
in this item the money he had stolen
that he was enabled to conceal his de
faications."

CROOKS HELPED WARHlNER
Official Says There Will Be Shake
Up In Cincinnati.

Up In CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, Nov. 9.-That a general
shake-up in the affairs of the auditing
and passenger departments is coming
within the next few weeks as one OF
the results of the Warmer theft of
$643,000 from the funds of the Big
Four railroad was stated here by a
high official in the service.
He said that the shortage was due
to clever working machine of crooks
in the company, only one of whom is
Warmer. 1t would be impossible, he
said, for one man to take this amount
from a railroad and not be found out.
AS a result of all this exposure sew
eral men in the auditing department
will lose their jobs, he said, and many
in the passenger department also will
go.

STATE BANK LAW
PL[AS[S OFFICIALS
French-American Will Not Ma
tionalize, It Is Announced,
Because of Statute

Although the French-American bank
officials announced few months ago
that they would nationalize. it is to re-
main a state institution, and all on ac-
count of the new banking law, which,
according to President Charles Carpy,
is ideal.
The officials of the bank are, how
ever, considering the feasibility of be-
coming a departmental bank. as pro-
vided for. in section % of the new state
banking law. If this should be done
the French savings bank, which is con-
trolled by the same officers and direc-
tors, will consolidate with the French
American.
Then the savings business will be
continued as before, only under the
name of the French-American bank.
The savings and commercial depart
ments will be separated and conducted
as if no consolidation had been effected.
In speaking of the plan yesterday
Carpy said:
I'VE intended to become national

BUCK TRAMPLFS
AND CORES Man
Farmer in Precarious Condition
as Result of an Encounter
With Animal

B HAYWARD. Sept 23.-Attacked yes
terday by buck in the deer paddock
OF the Patterson place near CentervilIe.
Max Saures. farmer, fought back ana
forth with the infuriated creature until
exhausted, and when he fell he was
so badly trampled by the buck that
his life is now in danger. During the
fight the animals horns pierced his
cheek, and the internal injuries he sus-
tanned are so severe that Doctor Emer-
son, who is attending him, now gives
him only slight chance of recovery.
The deer was supposed to be tame.
and when Saures entered the paddock
it was without fear. Hardly had Saures
entered the Enclosure before the buck
made rush for him. His first on
set caught Saures unprepared, and
the deer's horn struck the man in the
face. Saures was borne TO the ground.
He got up before the deer had chance
to trample him and endeavored to seize
the animal by the horns. He was only
partially successful and his grip failed
him shortly He was again knocked
to the ground and was soon made un-
conscious by the hammering of the
bucks feet on his head and body.

saw the attack rushed to his rescue

That the improper and unauthorized
use of the peoples money was deliber-
ate is evidenced by the fact that a
veteran senator appointed TO the junk
eting committee called the attention
of the other members of the party to
the illegality of the proposed expen-
diture and refused to participate in
the grab in spite of arguments pre-
sented by stanton. Transue and Sen

the law was not to be considered the
spirit of the thing was to furnish a
good time for the legislators con-

The association of Governor GflIett's
name in any way with the iunket grab
is unwarranted and does the governor
an injustice. The appropriation of
