SAYS the CASE IS COMPLETE
STATES ATTORNEY COMMENTS
ON BALTIMORE SHORTAGE.
Expresses Absolute Confidence That
William F. Downs Will Be Con-
victed on Larceny Charges.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, April 3.-While the
work of the company which is auditing
the books in the city registers department
has not progressed far enough to make
clear the exact amount of shortage, the
belief at the city hall is that the alleged
populations of William F. Downs will not
exceed $67 600 This Is the opinion of
City Register Thomas. Deputy City Reg
lister Newman and Deputy City Controller
Freeman.
Absolute confidence in the conviction Of
Downs on charges of the larceny of
thousands of dollars from the office of
the city register was today expressed by
States Attorney Owens. Instead of re-
lying on evidence of a negative nature,
the state, 1t is pointed out. proposes to
produce positive proof of Downs guilt.
The defense anticipates proof by elimi-
nation. while the state will pursue an
aggressive course and will bring forth
positive evidence.
| AS the positive proof on which the state
| will largely rely will be the deposit slips
made out by Downs. in his handwriting,
which will be regarded as receipts. it is
said, just as though he had given a
signed acknowledgment of the receipts of
the funds for deposit.
Says Downs Prepared Slips.
"These Slips" Mr.. Owens explained.
were prepared by Downs, SO he cannot
allege any wrong doing or error on the
part Of another person in making out the
deposits Thus the fact is established
that he started for a bank with an amount
OF money figured out by himself and we
shall further prove that he failed in GER
tain instances to deposit such amounts
In brief. the state proposes to prove
that the moneys were stolen in transit
between the city hall and the banks. and
that Downs was the person who took it.
Comment on the course of the police
department in taking only perfunctory
action in the Downs case is heard. Regis
ter Thomas is said to feel keenly the al
legged neglect to warn him of any ex-
travagances on the part of Downs.
4 detail of detectives and policemen
proceeded to Downs home late this after
noon to conduct a search and also to
allow deputy sheriffs to seize the house.

A Missionary Got Wealth.

The recent death, in his eighty
fifth year, Of Rev. Dr. William Ash
more, distinguished foreign mission
airy Of the baptist Church Of Ameri-
ca, recalls the interesting fact that
when in 1863 he was appointed to
Swatow, China, he bargained for the
purchase of a lot for mission build
irgs, agreeing to pay $500. The
board in Boston refusing to sanction
the purchase DR.. Ashmore paid for the
lot himself, and the purchase made
him a rich man. The shoreward
frontage Of the lot was afterward
filled in for a considerable distance
out into the harbor, and this made
land was so valuable for warehouse
sites that the sale CT it brought the
missionary a fortune. Out of these
profits he gave $4,000 to found a
theological seminary at Swallow. in
1856 Dr. Ashmore was elected a mis-
sfonary secretary in Baptist head
quarters at Boston. He returned
home and tried the Office for a year,
but official responsibilities did not
suit him, and he resigned and went
back to China fer fifteen years more

Horsepower and Foot Pounds.


When the steam engine was placed
upon a commercial basis by Watt and
his successors it seemed entirely nat
ural that its power should be ex..
pressed in terms Of the effort OF the
horse, and in spite OF all later sug-
gestions for new units the horse-pow-
err remains as the measure of the
greatest aid to human effort which
has yet been produced.
The engines OF today have their
power expressed in terms of thou
sands Of horses, and this power is
distributed and applied very largely
by means Of electricity, this method
permitting both a convenient distribu-
ton and unequalled facility in con-
troll and manipulation.
The horsepower is expressed in
terms of foot pounds, or in other
words by means Of the idea of lift
ing a weight, and it is to the lifting
of weights that electrically transmit
ted power has been most effectively
applied.-Cassier's Magazine.
