gin at Once
STORY OF HIS TRAVELS

delphia and Brought to the Scene
of His Crime, Tells Of His Wander

he was arrested Monday after a pur-
suit began last April, told officials Of
the bank MS story as they visited him
in his cell at the Oneida county Jail
this afternoon. Lowery says now that
the end which he apprehended has
come he is anxious to have the term
Of Imprisonment begin as quickly as
possible, determined that when it is
over, and having learned terrible
lesson in terrible way, he can start
over and do better next time. He says
he desires no bail and desires to make
no defense and that he is perfectly
willing to make a clean breast of it
ed the stock market alone and un-
to the officials. Lowery said he play
time he owed the bank but $4,000
having returned all but that amount.
but soon after he lost $4,000 in one
slump and twice lost heavily by the
failure of New York concerns.
When his theft was discovered on
April 81, he left the bank and started
for Oneida Lake, he says, determined
to end his life. but missed his train
and went to Syracuse. From SYRIA
cuse he went to Philadelphia and
took the first outward bound boat.
This happened to be going to Port
Antonio, Jamaica, and he went there
travelling second class. He crossed
the island by train to Kingston en-
deavoring to get work He started
for Panama but was deferred by a
Cuban, whose discouraging accounts
of opportunities for work led Lowery
to return to the States. After about
week in Jamaica to took passage
on fruit steamer and went to Phila-
delphia, landing there with $40 in his
for work. For the first week the near
est he got to securing place was
when man who stood just in front
of him secured the place at s. a
week. He finally got chance to So
licit accident insurance and after
much effort disposed of one policy
The best and longest Job was with a
small publishing house. He solicited
orders for bill heads and job work
generally. He did work for the print
ing department such as running a
press cutting, folding. etc. He had to
live economically and there were
times when ten cents day was his
total expenditure for food He Sec
ured good clerical position in a
manufacturing establishment and gave
lit up the first day because man he
had known in Utica was with the con-
Germ.
From then until the time of his ar
rest he had no work of any account
When arrested he insisted on going
home by wy of BingSamton and the
detectives agreed. They arrived this
morning. He was arraigned before
/ United States Commissioner Senior
and held to await the action of the
Federal grand jury. Bail was fiXe(
at $4,000 and is not furnished.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 1S.-Gen-
eral Manager w. II. Myers of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the COM
mittee representing the $4,000 train
men and conductors employed on the
lines of the road east of PittsburC to-
day agreed on basis for the settle
ment of the wage controversy. Each
side claims to have gained al, that it
had been contending for in the nego-
tiations which have been in progress
for the past six months and which
eliminated last week in the strike
vote by the employees.
The proposal made today by the
railroad officials and accepted by the
men includes minimum day of 10
hours as detailed in the New York
Central award. On certain runs
where the company's present rate Is
higher the rate will not be disturbed.
The classification of these excep-
tional runs and the question OF over
time was left to be decided ct confer
ences between the various members
of the committees and the division
superintendents of the lines which
they represent
1t was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed 26 days work
month. While the men regard this
as concession the railroad officials
say that during the recent hard times
the men were benefited by being
worked on short time rather than be-
ing laid off all together.
Until tuuay's conference, the rail-
road officials, it was declared, were
under the impression that the men
were really demanding a ten hour
day with II hours pay. But the COM
pany today stated that it had all along
offered to grant the standard rate and
was satisfied not to reduce the pay
of any of its men if none was increas-
ed by the New York Central award
above that of the standard rate. An
official of the company said that by
readjusting the runs they can pay
the new rate without greatly increas-
ing the expenses of the company.

1t Varied in Shape With the Diff

Although universally used by the an

with different nations. The Scythian

ants of the Scythians, still keeps that
shape. The Greek bow was not more

metallic band. Afterward other mate
rial was used in their manufacture,
but they still retained their original
shape. These bows were too short to
be OF much use, and only small por-
ton of the troops were armed with
them.
The Romans brought the bow to
Britain, where it at once obtained ia.
vor and during the middle ages was
extensively used, forming an impor-
tant weapon of the armies of that
period. The English archers were said
to be the finest in the world, and their
skill decided the battles Of Crecy, Pol
tiers and Agincourt. The bows used
were of two kinds-the longbow and
the arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest
was made Of steel or horn and was OF
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend it and adjust the
string. The arbalesters carried quiz
ers with 80 arrows and were placed In

Baltimore.
The principal speech at the banquet was
made by Col. McElroy. editor of the Ma

toast THE American Citizen Volunteer
Soldier" He paid high tribute TO Coles
Cavalry, and said:
posed to speak slanderingly of the Union

the credit of leading the cavalry out

Col. McElroy said that the Union army
cause it was the first time In history that
any country had put all its young man
hood. its brains. its courage and its pa
triotc devotion into camp.
The terrific strain and incidents of the
war developed the men who went through
it into a far higher plane of manhood
This was illustrated after they came
home by these men becoming leaders in
everything that made for the greatness
prosperity and glory of the country.
They became Presidents of the United
States, senators, representatives, gova
ernors, railway magnates and builders

Every country had it's heroic age
which shaped and colored Ii for centuries
after. Our heroic age embraced the mo-
mentous days from 1851 to 1865, and for
thousands of years, like the heroic ages
of Greece and Rome. it will be, with its
men and incidents, a theme for song and
story, pen and pencil. For innumerabIe
