POLICE DELvE BANK MYSTERY
HOPE TO DETERMINE HOW
STEVENS WAS WOUNDED.
Maj. Sylvester Says Too Much Has
Been Said, But Inspector Board
man Is on the Job Yet.

Il have nothing to say was the re-
sponse of Maj. Sylvester, chief of police,
when asked this morning by a Star re-
porter for his version of the shooting of
F. Bernard Stevens, paying teller at the
United States Savings Bank, Saturday
night.
There has already been too much talk
ing done about the affair."
Inspector Boardman, chief Of detectives,
said there have been no developments in
the case which will assist the men in his
office to solve the shooting. The case, he
said. is being further investigated. He
thinks, in the course of time, the police
will find out what happened.
Bank officials are still satisfied that the
wounded man has told only what oc-
Cured at the bank. Until something to
the contrary is shown their confidence In
him, they assert, will not be shaken.
The wounded man is still under treat
ment in the Emergency Hospital. 1t may
be several days before he Is able to
leave there.
Nan Patterson Ill.
Mrs. A. Martin, formerly Nan Patter-
son, is also still under treatment 1t was
stated at the Patterson apartment this
morning that she is seriously i'll, and that
She has had some heart trouble during
recent months, Star reporter was told.
Excitement following the notoriety given
her this week, he was informed. has made
her Ill.
Saturday night. about the time the
shooting occurred, Mrs. Martin was with
her brother at his place of employment
waiting to accompany him home. A tele-
phone message telling of the shooting was
received. Brother and sister hurried to
the hospital, reaching there about the
time the ambulance arrived with the
wounded man.
When young Stevens was taken into the
operating room Mr.. Patterson and his sis
ter followed and assisted in holding the
sufferer while the surgeons explored the
wound. Since then frequent visits have
been paid to the hospital by Charlie Pat
terson. his sister having also gone there
to see the patient until she became Ill.
F. Bernard Stevens. father of the
wounded man, lives in Norfolk, Va, and
is connected with the Monticello Wine
Company.
President Karrick Wants Truth.
James L. Karrick, president of the
United States Savings Bank, told a Star
reporter that nothing had yet developed
to shake the story of the shooting told
by Stevens.
Il am anxious to ascertain the truth
of the matter" he said. IF anybody has
any information to show that what Ste
vens said is not true / would only be too
glad to get hold of it,
Mr.. karrick repeated that he had every
reason to believe that Stevens version
of the shooting is the correct one.
DIR. Charles s. White, attending sur
geon. said this afternoon that the wound
ed bank clerk was much improved Ste
vens is still suffering from nervousness.
however, the physician stated, and may
remain in the hospital until Sunday. al
though he may leave there tomorrow.

Looking After Antitrust Cases.


The Attorney General is also going
slowly in the matter of the various anti
trust cases which are now in the hands
of his department. He has not made
| and will not make any attempt to lump
all the cases and pass upon them at
once.
These cases." said Mr.. Wickersham,
ARE being looked after by Mr.. Wade
Ellis. He is considering them singly,
and as he arrives at his conclusions in
each case he turns his report over to
me- / review the evidence and his find
ings and make my report to the Presi-
dent. 1t would be not only unjust, but
impossible, in my opinion, for me to at
tempt to arrive at any sweeping deci-
sion as to what should be done with all
the pending antitrust cases."
Among the first evidences of the dispo-
sition on the part of the present admin
istration to deal effectively with offenders
against the various federal laws is the
action of Secretary Ballinger in cleaning
out the legal branch of the Interior De-
partment. Several men who under the
last administration were engaged in inves-
legations under the assistant attorney
general for the Interior Department have
been taken off that work and given berths
a row. and Secretary Ballinger was ac-
cused of being hard-hearted.
In reply Mr.. Ballinger pointed to the
fact that the reports of some Of the in
spectors and investigators under his de-
partment. had resulted in an unnecessary
duplication of work. Many of these in
spectors had little knowledge Of what
constituted legal evidence. They found
certain facts and recommended the insti-
tuition of civil suits or the presentation of
the cases to grand juries. When their re-
ports were taken up by the Department of
Justice it was too frequently found that
the inspectors had gone off 'half-cocked'
and that there was no basis for either
suits or grand jury hearings.
Aiming to Get Results.
This duplication of work is one of the
things the President wishes to obviate by
his proposed reorganization of the gov
ernments legal machinery. When an in
spector or special attorney is sent into the
field under the Taft administration he
must be man capable of turning in
report that his superior officers can act
upon.
THE truth is.' said a prominent gov
ernment official today, that when we
start suit it will be with view to get
ting blood. Shooting rapidly and at ran
dom may attract a lot of attention, but
1t does little real harm to those shot at.
The President has gathered some pretty
good legal marksmen around him. and
they are the kind of men that hit what
they aim at. Furthermore, they are not
going to take aim until they get a real
good look. at the object they intend to
shoot at. There will be fewer suits filed
under the Taft administration, but there
will be more convictions.

DENIES REPORTS OF FRICTION

Attorney General Wickersham has made

for closer relationship between the De-
partment of Justice, the interstate COM
merce commission, the bureau of corpo-
rations of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor and the law branches Of the
other departments 1t has been thought
that perhaps drastic measures would be
taken and that an effort would be made
to '.clean up at once In the opinion Of
Mr.. Wickersham this work is summer
job one to be carefully considered after
Congress adjourns and when more urgent
matters have been disposed Of. Some
progress has already been made, but the
details of the plan are yet to be worked
out.
In discussing his program with Star

ther that there was absolutely no truth
In the reports that there was friction be-
tween the Department Of Justice and the
interstate commerce commission. From
the members of that body, Mr.. Wicker

support. Several of the members of the

SONG

fcon nosed by Mrs. Nancy Deits, OF Jas
nar Tam In CommemoratioD Of the
Great storm Of April ~, 1897
Teach us. Good Lord, thy frowns TO
dread,
While vast destruction around us
spread,
Thine arms of mercy are so free
That Thou can't save from misery
While slnmbering deep in sweet repose,
Behold the dreadful storm arose,
With roaring thunder and hghthih9
bright, 800.
Wind hurting things most out of sight.
What groans and pains were felt that
night,
Walked up by lightning in alright
Among flying rubbish as they fell,
Their feelings none but Goa can TELL
In heaps of rubbish flying around,
No house unhurt scarce could be found
A standing when the storm was Ger
That had a roof above the floor.
The churches some stood in its way,
Where people meet to sing and pray,
The walls the roof and steeple high
In heaps of rubbish now must lie.
And some dear ones from earth were
driven,
We hope their souls are crowned in
heaven,
Called ina moment to appear
To stand before Gods righteous bar,
Oh God, thy mercy is so strong,
That thou can't save amid the storm,
While homes were rent in fragments
torn,
Thou didn't save and thou alone
Alone in darkness, rain and hail,
The raging storm did prevail,
But God in mercy, love and power,
Saved from death in that sad hour.
So let us here a lesson take
And Gods commandments never break
Bnt to His will let all resign,
And never at loss repine,
SO shall our lives be pleasant here,
Having in death nothing to fear,
But lean our heads on Jesus breast
And sweetly die and fly to rest.
