Something New I'm the Way of
Wall Street Fleeing.

New York, April 29.--Although Il
speculator In Wall street for many
years, state Senator Patrick II. Me-
Carren of New York, has learned
something he did not before know
about 'high finance When the receiy-
or for the defunct brokerage firm of
Ennis 4 Stoppani called on him for
a settlement of his accounts Of $45O,-
600, the senator said he would pay
the amount if the receiver returned
to him 2,500 shares of Amalgamated
Copper, 1000 b. II. T. shares and
2 000 shares of the United states rub
Ter first preferred. The receiver was
unable TO find this stock as it long
ago had been disposed Of in the mar
ket. But accepting McCarren's offer,
the receiver went into the market and
purchased the required stock at about
100000 less than the similar shares
had originally cost McCarren. He
thereupon traded the shares for Nc
Carren's check for nearly 10 million.
On being questioned the receiver
as to any assets of the firm of which
he might have knowledge, Mrs. Thos.
\ Ennis wife of the head of the firm
expressed her Willingness to turn
over to the receiver all of her private

A MARINE CORPS
CAPTAIN lEi OUI
Prisoners Got Away From Him and
Board Decided He Was Not
Strict Enough.

Boston. April 2s.--After an in
quiry into the recent escape of five
prisoners from the naval prison here
Captain Charles c.. Carpenter, in
charge Of the institution, has been
detached on the ground that he was
not sufficiently strict in prison discip-
line. The prisoners have not been re-
captured. Captain Carpenter has
been commander OF the prison since
June s of last year.
II was believed in the yard that
Captain Carpenter had been prac-
tically eXonerated by the local board
which investigated the escape. Cap
tain Carpenter asked for court of
inquiry ON the escape, so that the
blame could be officially placed.
His request for such an inquiry has
not as yet been granted, which caus-
ed some of the local naval and ma
rine officers to feel that there might
be some error regarding the telegram
from Washington conveying the In
formation that he had been detached.

ing rescued from the Potomac river near

that the cries stopped. causing them to
conclude they were too late.
But when they reached the wall of the
tidal basin just south Of the engine house
they again heard the voice. Harper was
holding to a ledge of rock which pro-
jected a short distance above the surface
of the water From the wall the dis
lance to Harper was too great for one
man to reach, and the policemen found
1t necessary to- form d chain.
Policeman Walter locked his legs about
an iron post and suspended his body in
the direction of the water. holding to
Billman's legs while the latter reached
and got hold of Harper. who was soon
rescued and drawn to the top of the wall
He was nearly exhausted and was una BILE
to explain how he got overheard. He re-
vived soon after his rescue, and was able
to go hOmes
