BANK PRESIDENT ARRESTED.
He Is Charged Wrrs Wrong Use of
Banks Money.

Chicago, August 27.-E1bert w. Shirk.
president of the First National bank of
Upton, Ind was arrested at the Calumet
club here today charged with misappro-
priating 24,253 of the banks money. 1t
is alleged in a complaint lodged with
United States Commissioner Foote that he
obtained the money through drafts made
payable to himself.
The alleged shortage is said to have
occurred on July %. The bank suspended
for a few days but resumed business, and
the federal authorities began an investi-
CATION. The complaint made today was
signed by w. NJ. Bennett, special bank
examiner.
Shirk gave bond for $4,000 before United
States Commissioner Foote and was re-
leased.
Mr.. Shirk, in speaking of his arrest.
said:
II held a note on the bank for that
amount but Cashier Marker failed to give
me credit for 1t. When the bank examiner
came along and found an apparent short
age of s24,25S it was a natural thing for
him to presume that I was not entitled to
it. The Markers. because of their ex-
element, and l blame them In no way,
neglected to credit me with The bank S
note"

WORKMEN DESERT PLANT

Pittsburg, August 27.-At shutdown
tonight so state troopers mounted
guard at the plant of the Pressed Steel
Car company in Sch oenville, where
$500 employees of that concern are
striking, anticipating before another "a
hours a repetition of the bloody cor
ner" riots of last Sunday night.
Trouble is feared for several rea-
sons, the principal one being that all
during the day imported workmen have
been deserving the car plants in droves
unequivocally that sney have been mis-
used, suffered indgnities and forced to
work whether they chose to or not.
Tonight spirit of unrest pervadas
McKees Rocks and the strike zone. The
strikers declare that before morning
the Pressed Steel Car company will be
forced to suspend operations. But 800
workmen were left in the plant to-
night at shutdown, SO the deserving
workmen declare.
The grounds surrounding the river
gate of the Pressed Steel Car company
presented a picturesque sight tonight.
Encamped there were over 800 work
men who left the car works during the
day and who say they will stay near
the car plant Offices until they get at
least a portion of the wages due them.
The encamped workmen declare they
Will stay on watch at the car com
pany gates until they are forced to re-
tire by force. Stories told by the work.
men who have quit their jobs in the
car plant are almost unbelievable. Con-
ditions, according to these men, were
practically unbearable inside the car
stock ade. Soup prepared from rotting
vegetables was served them they de-
clare, by filthy negro walters, picked

These stories were made the subject OF

night when several men testified tina

Catarina river, rising at the rate OF two
feet an hour as a result of downpour
of rain which has been continuous In

AlRSHlP is NEARING BERLIN

Berlin, August 27.-Count Zeppelin
alone occupies the minds of the popula-
ton of Berlin tonight and welcome has
been prepared for his coming tomorrow,
in his big airship, such as has never been
equalled since Prince Bismarck returned
from Versailles after the coronation In
1871 of William I as Emperor of Ger
many Most of the factories and Of
fees and all of the schools will be
closed and the mayor has ordered all
public buildings decorated as is done on
the occasion of the Emperor's birth
day. He also has requested that the &C.
oupants of private dwellings make dis
plays of bunting and flags from their
windows.
Early this morning a thrill of joy went
through the people, thousands of whom
had gathered in front of the newspaper
offices when it was announced that the
Zeppelin III had departed at 4:3O o'clock
from Friedrichshafen for Berlin, a dis
lance, of about $50 miles. Throughout
the day throngs crowded about the bulle-
tin boards eagerly reading the rapidly ar
irving bulletins announcing the progress
of the dirigible over various cities. When
the news came, however, that a broken
propeller and a defective moter had
necessitated an unarranged-for landing
at Ostheim, near Nuremberg, the faces
of the people fell. They waited on,
nevertheless through a drenching rain,
In the expectation of better tidings, and
when the dispatches arrived announcing
the reaseension at Nuremburg they
greeted them with shouts of joy.
Again when the bulletins said that the
dirigsble had been brought to land at
Nuremburg, $50 miles on its journey and
there repairs would be made to the pro-
pellers and cylinders of the forward mo-
tor the disappointment was renewed and
was only relieved when a telegram was
received from Count Zeppelin saying it
was his confident belief that the voyage
would be continued during the night and
that the airship probably would arrive
at its destination on schedule time. The
revulsion of feeling in favor of Count
Zeppelin, as compared with that exist
ing three or four years ago. is most re-
markable. Then he was regarded as
visionary, throwing the family fortune to
the winds. Now he is honored as no liv-
ing German is. 1t is generally reported,
but without confirmation, that he will be
created a prince by Emperor William,
who arrived in Berlin tonight to be pres
ent at the landing place of the dirigible
I tomorrow.

now has the same legal and actual To-
cation. Judge William Galloway today
granted decree to reform the plat of
the city and to correct errors which,
though slight, made tremendous diff
ference in the legal location of the town.
The original town of Brownsville was
laid out in the late SOS by Capt. James
Blakely, who is yet living at Browns
vile at the age of 50 years, being the
oldest man in Linn county. Some mis-
takes were made by the surveyor who
plated the site, and when the plat was
recorded in the court house here in 1864
the clerk placed the letter e. instead
of the letter wv" in the starting point
of the description. thus tying the plat
to the northeast instead of the northwest
corner of the township, and getting the
town located six miles distant from its
real site. or just north of the town of
Charlottesville.

Rare Sight for Crowd.
At this hour the spectators were treated
to a rare sight The military dirigible
balloon, Colonel Renard, came up from
the south and unanswered over the plain
at a height of 1000 feet. The tiny aero
planes were sweeping around beneath the
balloon, and 1t seemed as though they
were preparing to attack the huge aerial
monster that dominated the scene The
Renard moved back and forth over the
sun-lit plain, while the vast crowd
watched the enchanting picture with ex-
pressions of delight. The dirigible balloon
Zodiac, which may appear in New York
in the Hudson Fulton celebration. was
brought out of its shed back of the
| tribunes and dragged upon the field by 100
men Juggling In unison on It's ropes. The
Zodiac then assembled and prepared for
its race with the Colonel Renard.
Bunau-Varilla and Captain Ferber end
