SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.--At the
request of the chief of police of Reno,
New, Thomas Mccarthy aged 80. was
arrested here today and held on the
suspicion that he knows something OF
an alleged plot to swndle the Farmers
and Merchants bank OF Reno out of
$5S6O by means of a forged check
drawn on the Wells Fargo Nevada
National bank Of this city.
j. T.. Raymond, one Of three men
alleged to be implicated, was arrested
in Reno Thursday on a charge of
forgery.
1t IS alleged that Raymond presented
the check TO the Reno institution
Tuesday and that he expressed will
ingness to wait until the paper could
be sent to san Francisco for Verifica-
tion before drawing any money on it.
The check was sent by the Farmers
and Merchants bank to its correspon-
cent here and referred to the Wells
Fargo, which refused TO. honor it be-
cause 1t had no account with u. r.
Cavanaugh," the alleged maker of the
check.
Then the Reno bank received a tele-
gram purporting to be signed by its
local correspondent to the effect that
the check was all right. A copy of
this was shown to the bank here and
payment was stopped by telephone.
Raymond's drrest followed. Nc
Carthy when arrested told the police
that he returned from Reno last night
and therefore could have had nothing
TO do with the sending of the bogus
telegram.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Gen. A. w.
Greenly resigned as a member of the
Explorers club almost at the beginning
of the Peary-Cook controversy. This
became known today through the club $
secretary, Harris c. Walsh.
Il am not In a position to say
whether Gen. Greelys resignation was
due to the Cook-Peary controversy" "
said MIR. Walsh.
In view of his friendship for DR..
Cook, however and the confidence ne
expressed in him his resignation may
be so construed by many persons.
II can say he did not mention DR..
Cook in his letter to the club. 1t was
just a curt note Of resignation and did
not give any reason for the step"
1t was learned today that the mem
bers of the Explorers club had made
a strong effort TO persuade Gen. Greeley
to reconsider his intention to resign,
but without avail.
Gen. Greeley was president Of the
club prior to the election of Comman-
der Peary to that office. The latter
was reelected ut a meeting here last
night. In all the CoOk-Peary contro-
versy Gen. Greeley, himself an arctic
explorer of experience and reputation,
has stood stanchly by DR.. Cook
while l am not authorized to give n
statement regarding the whereabouts
of DR.. Frederick a. Cook, the Arctic
explorer, | can say without violating
any confidence that am satisfied he is
in Europe and that he viii appear next
week before the committee OF the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, which is exam
lining his polar data"
This statement was made last night by
an intimate friend of DR.. Cook, who in
sisted that he had every reason to be-
lieve that within the next forty-eight
hours the explorer will come out on Sc
clusion and issue a statement covering
every phase Of the polar controversy.

DREAMY WALTZ MUSIC LOSES CHARM
WHEN ROBBER DOES WORK TO TIME

Dreamy Hungarian waltzes, lively
two-steps and other music do not
have the charms they formerly had for
ID. l. Bernhard of the Loomis apart
ments, 621 Loomis street. He has a
good reason for hating all music, espe-
cially two-step selections, and as for
dance halls, he, wishes that all were
wiped off the earth. Up to Friday night
he was in favor of such places and
ne-er tired of listening to dance music.
His dislike for music and dance halls
is because he was robbed of diamond
ring valued at 5000 while dancing a new
waltz at the Airdome dance hall on
South Broadway Friday night.
To execute the figures in this dance
the men are required to join hands ana
promenade In a circle, while the women
who also join hands, step In clrcie
in the opposite direction from the men.
Bernhard decided to try this new
dance. He entered into the spirit OF

men dancers. He was so elated over
his SUCCESS in dancing the new steps
that he was oblivious to his surround
ings. He now remembers that the man
who grasped his left hand allowed his
fingers to slip through his grasp sew
eral times. He thought nothing of it
at the time, but when he started to
leave the dancers and go to his home
he felt for his ring and found it was
missing
He reported the matter to the man
agement of the dance hall, but the
latter said he could do nothing, and
advised Bernhard to report 1t to the
police.
Bernhard told the detectives about
his loss and declared he never would
dance again as long as he lives. SO
far the officers have been unable to
find a clew that would lead to the re-

Novel Method of Moving.

ST. JOI1NSBURY, VIA rare sight
in the streets of this town, but it was
seen a few days ago when I. J. Wheeler
and his wife passed through on their
way from Jay, Vermont, to their home
in Enfield, New Hampshire. The tent
wagon contained a mattress, trunk. two
chairs. oil stove. bale of hay, and nu-
merous cooking utensils.
They travelled about twelve miles a
day and remarked as they stopped here
short time that they didn't have to
be towed into garage every little
while. Their two sturdy oxen looked as
if they were capable of taking their
burden to its destination, and the COW
was contentedly chewing her cud at the
rear of the caravan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler left Jay, where
their home and small farm had recently
been sold, travelling in the way here
shown to avoid the cost of freighting
their belongings to Enfield, which would
have been about fifty dollars. They
were. hugely enjoying their mode of
travel, and besides saving money, they
considered it fine vacation trip

Ell PASO'S GOLF COURSE.
Taft Will Find Things Much to the
Liking of an Expert at the Texas Links.

Taft Will Find Things Much to the
Liking of an Expert at the Texas Links.
Ell PASO, Texas.-Three banquets and
a golf game over one of the sportiest
courses in the United States will be
among the diversions for William How
ard Taft, President of the United States
when he visits this city October l6 and
meets Porfrio Diaz, President of the
Republic of Mexico.
The golf course at the Ell Paso Coun-
try Club, where Mr. Taft will play golf,
after first reviewing the Ell Paso school
children in one of the city parks, is one
of the hardest courses in the United
States, and the President has written
that he is particularly anxious to try
it. The course is not sodded, but is
very rough in many places and, being
of white dirt and gravel, it is necessary
to use colored balls to prevent losing
them. Balls of green red, purple and
black are used, but never white-they
become lost too easily.
The second green" on this course is
very difficult hole and is known as
He'll Top. The drive is from tee down
in gulley-arroyo they are called in
this part of the country-and the green
is on top of an almost perpendicular
wall of white rock, up which the player
has a very laborious climb, if he sue
ceeds in putting the ball over the rim
If he fails in putting the ball on top of
the cliff at the first, or second drive
at the most, he generally has a pretty
hard task, if he ever gets it there. The
green is located on the Fort Bliss mill
tary reservation, as are many of the sue
ceeding holes of the course. The second
green is on level stretch of territory,
but there is some very rough interven-
ing ground between the tee and the
green. Some of the other holes are verv
difficult, especially Spion Kopje, which
is on the top of a young mountain,
that slopes beautifully in all directors.
A well directed drive may put the ball
on top of the hill directly on the green;
yet if the drive is a strong one the lit
tie ball will roll off on the opposite side.
and lofters, midirons and mashies galore
are necessary before the hole is made.
Mr.. Taft will find it truly Sporty"
course, one worthy of the mettle of a
President.-san Antonio Express.

1 WORD ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS

There has been 20 much said about
our schools lately that I came to the
conclusion to ask myself-what IL
wrong? School seems to be king
dom divided against ITSELF" The
teachers seem to turn against the
school board-the parent against the
teacher. Under such conditions NO
school will. nor can. prosper.
Frequently I have heard the re-
mark that some OF the teachers were
getting too old. 1 thought about this
carefully. Just think of the many ex-
psriences these older teachers have
gathered-how many prayers they
have offered to be able to meet certain
problems-how many tears they have
shed in their lonely rooms when hurt
By the sting Of ingratitude. We need
those older teachers-we need their
experiences and they in return need
our support.
Just think what these schooldays
are for our children. in particular the
high school days. Here the founda-
ton for their later lives Is laid. Each
time that a change in the faculty is
made 1t means a break in the studies
OF the pupils.
In the Senior Hash" OF 1908 is a
poem written by one Of the students.
1t refers to the many changes Of Prin-
cipals within three successive years.
| This little poem though written for
fun is quite a rebuke to the school
board. We spend a vast amount OF
money for education and We are en-
titled to the very best.
In the last Colorado teachers as
ISOLATION President Aylesworth made
the following remark:
The average high school Of Ameri-
ca leads nowhere. 1t has become
worse than expensive luxury"
Let us come together In one mind
let US work with more sincerity. sc
that our efforts may be crowned with
result. and the expensive luxury
will soon become a highly sought-for
necessity.
