ARRESTED FOR
LOOTING BANK
RObnett Invested Funds In SpO-
kane Orchards Irrigation
Scheme.

LEWISTON, Idaho, June S.-Clar-
ence Robnett, former bookkeeper of
the Lewiston National bank, was ar
rested and arraigned yesterday on
three charges pertaining to the al
legged embezzlement OF funds which
total not less than $91,715. Robnett
waived examination and promptly
furnished bonds of $4,000, Lee Pow
ell and Curtis Thatcher, well-known
merchants, signing the bonds.
r W. Kettenbach, president OF the
looted institution, swore to the COM
plant, which contains three counts,
one charging embezzlement and two
falsihcation of the records. The first
count is general as no specific dates
Of the alleged entertainments are
named. President Kettenbach swears
that RObnett, between December 81,
1904, and March IS. 1909, embezzled
at various times and appropriated to
his own use the sum of $91,715.
False Entries Alleged.
The charge of classifying the rec
Ords are more specific. The COM
PLANT states that December 1, 1908,
Rdbnett falsely entered in daily bal
ance book No. that the total am
cunt Of deposits on hand was $211,
i27.52 and that the outstanding
OVeFdrafts were $22,45S.O6, while in
ruth the deposits amounted to $685.
wool, and the overdrafts totaled
1S'SOOS2. The third count contains
'eharges of false entries in unnamed
amounts February 10, 1907, June II,
1908, and November IT, 1908.
While specific dates of embezzle-
nents are not named, the charges of
nxing the records cover a period
81 more than two years. While the
complaint is general in respect to the
emoezzlement, it, to a certain degree,
psposes of the statement that the
peeuiations have been within the last
year and Robnett's friends say that
also disposes of the theory that
most OF the money was sunk in the
'pORane Orchards, an irrigation

sEATTLEs BIG EXPOSITION
A GREAT SUCCESS


SEATTLE. June S.-The Alaska.
Yukon-Pacific Exposition has jumped
into popularity by leaps and bounds
from the moment the gates opened to
the public the morning of June !.
The first days count showed that
more than 10000 persons had
passed through the gates. Since the
opening the attendance has been far
above all expectations, or estimates
made by Exposition experts based on
the population of Seattle and the sur
rounding country.
The first day was typical Seattle
crowd and the holiday spirit pre-
vailed. There was not even the
slightest hitch anywhere. the exposi-
ton made good every promise and
now the fair that is ready will be the
show place of the Pacific until the
gates close October 16.
There is no best time to visit the
Exposition. Every day witnesses
some big feature. Airships soar high
above the tallest buildings on the
grounds, the Pay Streak, where the
Fun King reigns supreme, is simply
lined with attractions. Some are
educational. Others amusing.
The Midway is the night life OF
the big show and the band concerts
and illumination of the buildings in
the central court are even more beau
tiful than was ever dreamed of by
the men who planned the electrical
effects.
At night the Cascades and Geyser
Basin where the waters, colored by
hidden lights, dash and foam, hold
the attention Of the crowds for
hours. Innes' band concerts in the
Music Pavilion are alone a feature.
Such bands are seldom engaged for
an exposition and the A.-Y.-P. offers
a rare musical treat.
Added to the daily features this
coming summer will be the spec
ial attractions planned for hundreds
of Californians who will be in Seat

been set aside in the interest of the
California Promotion committee

NEW IORh, July A4, 1JOJ.
Great anxiety has been felt in the
leaf market on account of the prolong-
ed drouth which caused the growing
cigar leaf crop to wilt, particularly in
New England But relief has come in
the steady downpour of the past twenty
four hours, which will undoubtedly re-
vive the dropping tobacco plants, as
there is no plant given to speedier re-
covery than the tobacco plants. 1t is
to be hoped that the trade will exper-
ience like relief Wnen the tariff bill
gets out of the conference. For the.
news published in this issue of the
United States Tobacco Journal that
President Taft's hobby for the free adj
mission of 150,000,000 of Philippine CT
gars instead of the 10000, 600, as pro-
vided in the Aldrich draft, is likely to
be gratifed, will prove another source
of anxiety for the speedy recovery of
normal conditions in the leaf market.
If $50, 900, 600 of foreign cigars are to
come in free they are certain to take
the place of a like number of the do
mestic product, and its depressing eff
feet will be the greater in view of the
fact that the output of. our cigar in
dustry for the fiscal year closed on June
80 will show very large decrease in
comparison with the output of the pre-
ceding fiscal year, which was in the di-
rect path of the panic. But the trade
must have become accustomed by this
time to any kind of hard knocks, as it
has always been the stepchild of legis-
lation. And so it will have to adapt
itself to any consequence the fate of
the new tariff act may have in store for
it. Of business little is to be reported.
There is the usual routine trade with
the expectation of something like
rush when the new packings are being
sampled and the crowd of Western buy
ers invade our market, which is looked
for early next month. Lately large
Withdrawals of Sumatra have taken
place, a sure sign that factories must
have been in need of that commodity.

even if it is on a small scale.

insure a satisfactory growth. The

New Movement in the Normal Schools.

For some years past the accusation
has been brought against the Normal
schools that they are doing little for
the rural schools. 1t is true that most
of their graduates are picked up by the
cities, and only undergraduates, to any
extent, teach in the country. To meet
this situation, the County Training
school movement has been inaugurated
and nearly one-third of the counties of
the state have established such schools;
but the law does not permit their es-
tablishment in counties in which State
Normal school is located.
At the last session Of the legislature
a law was enacted which authorizes the
Normal schools to offer course of
study for country teachers similar to
that given in County Training schools
and grants to the person completing
this course third grade certificate
good for three years.
This new project will be tried out at
Whitewater and in one or two other
Normals this year. If successful, as it
surely ought to be, it will doubtless be
taken up by others later on.

the trade.
