Billings GeIding UhIan Becomes King
of the Trotting Turf

Cleveland, Aug. 14.-Over the
North Randall track, under favorable
conditions, the famous black gelding
Uhlan, wearing the colors of c. K.
G. Billings of this city, trotted mile
in 1854 without a wind shield, thus
establishing a new worlds record for
a trotter.
The only mile that has been covered
faster than this was by Lou Dillon in
1905, when the former queen of light
harness racing Travelled mile in
l:58h, but it was back of wind
shield and the record does not count.

HuIaOr and
Philosophy
UNNATURAL.
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH

MAN never was intended
M To sit all day and scratch
Upon a sheet of paper
TIC make a balance match,
To be from morn till evening
Chained to a desk and chair
Away from light and sunshine
In heavy. stagnant air.
Man never was created
Or formed with the design
That he all day should labor
Down in a dismal mine
With only lamps i'll smelling
For artificial light,
Where hours the same were counted
The MONDAY as the night.
Man never was intended
For lots of other things
That he is busy doing
While round the old world swings.
You In a moments thinking
Could mention quite a few,
But man must earn his living,
So what is he to do?
He has to brace his courage
And do the best he can.
The world was not constructed
According to his plan.
So he must keep on writing
Or digging in the street.
He wasn't made to do it,
But really he must eat.

DELIBERATELY STARVED
Death of One of the WardlaW Sisters

Indicted For Snead Murder
Newark, N. j., Aug. 14.-Miss
Virginia Wardlaw, one of the mys-
terious sisters under Indictment for
the murder of Mrs. Ocey w. M.
Snead, the East Orange bathtub VIC
tim, died in the house of detention
here.
Death was due to starvation. The
fate of the aged woman in this re-
spect paralleled that of her alleged
victim, for doctors who examined
Ocey Snead before her death said her
ailments were all due to lack of nour
ishing food.
In the opinion of jail attendants
Miss Wardlaw deliberately starved
herself to death.

SMUGGLING ON
LARGE SCALE
MANY CHINESE ARE INCLUDED

Confirmed by Discovery of Eight
CeIestiaIs> on the Saxonia-Captain
of Liner VIII Be Held Accountable
For Escape of Stowaways-Two of
His Officers Are Held
Boston, Aug. 15.-Stricter inspec-
ton of incoming steamships at Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and New York will
probably be brought about by the re-
cent discovery of eight Chinese stow
aways aboard the steamship Saxonia.
The developments following the ar
rest of Joe Kee and his statements to
the federal authorities have fully con-
firmed suspicion long held in the
minds of the immigration officials
that large numbers of undesirable
aliens, including many Chinese, have
entered the country at various sea-
board ports as stowaways.
While the inspection Of incoming
liners is complete as far as the pas
sengers of all classes is concerned, and
Always landing here are taken by the
immigration authorities, the rigid
search of the many possible hiding
places in a big ocean steamship must
necessarily fall upon the crew and Of
ficers of the steamer.
The responsibility for all occur
rences upon a liner rests upon the
captain, and the action taken by the
federal authorities in issuing war
rant for Captain Benson of the Sax
onia is considered evidence of a
change in the methods of handling
this class of unwelcome travellers on
| the ships.
| Captain Benson will present him
self at the federal building to answer
a charge of negligence in allowing
| Cinnamon to land in this country.
The charge is technical, as it is not
pretended by the federal officers that
the Saxonia's commander had any
personal knowledge of the presence OF
the stowaway Cinnamon on his yes
sell
James Evans, master-at and
William Hackett, lamp trimmer, OF
the steamship Saxonia, were ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Darling, charged with aid
ing and abetting the smuggling OF
Chinese into the port. They were
held in $4,000 bonds for hearing or
Aug. %.
With the help of the local police
Chinese Inspector McCabe and the
other immigration inspectors are
searching the city for trace of the
seven Cinnamon who are supposed tt
have escaped at the time Joe Kee wa:
caught.
The stories told the federal authori
ties by Kee point to an extensive ant
long standing system of smuggling
Cinnamon into this country, and tn
immigration and federal authorize
are turning every effort to trace tn
matter to the men higher up.
1t is stated by men thoroughly &C
quainted with the workings of the i'm
! migration regulations at this port an
other Atlantic seaboard cities, tina
the number of aliens who enter thi
country annually, either as stowaWay
or as deserving seamen whose sole OBJ
j ject in signing the ships papers o
the other side of the water is to ente
u the United States, amounts to thou
sands.

PRIDE CAUSES
BANK TO CLOSE
Officer Falls In His Efforts to
Save Its Standing
new METHODSREvEAL SECRET


York County Savings Bank Kept
From knowledge of Directors by
Treasuur's Manipulation of Ac
counts-Strain Becomes Too Great
When Exposure Becomes Certain
Biddeford, Me-, Aug. 15.-Pride
In the financial standing of the insti-
tuition of which he had so long been
treasurer and fear lest the announce
ment of poor investments should hurt
that standing led Richmond H. Inger-
soil to make false entries in the books
of the York County Savings bank
quarter of a century ago and to con-
tinue the Justification through all these
years without detection, each year
getting deeper in the muddle of false
figures.
This is the accepted explanation of
the closing Of the doors of the York
County Savings bank after a discovery
of the shortage in the funds had been
made by the bank examiner. That
Ingersoll himself did not profit by his
manipulations Of the accounts has yet
TO be proved, but bank officials and
citizens generally do not believe he
did.
IngersOll had been president of the
bank for fifty years. OF recent years
he has had an assistant to relieve him
OF a portion of his duties, but he has
persistently declined to allow his as
sistant to work on the books and.
although that was the most ard
uous of his many tasks, has kept per-
sonal supervision of them.
For years the directors and officers
of the bank have urged, even entreat-
ed Ingersell to take vacation, but
he has always been firm in his re-
fusal and his declaration that he did
not need vacation.
A month or more ago the directors
of the bank voted to adopt a sug-
gestion of the state bank examiner
and advertise the accounts by number
in a local paper, giving the amount
of each account as shown by the books
of the bank and requesting depositor'
to compare the amounts with thell
pass books aud to report any discrep'
ANGLES.
That vote meant the discovery o
Treasurer Ingersoll's manipulation o
the books He knew it and yet con
tiuued to work at his desk each day.
a Wednesday Bank Examiner SkeltoI
of I.ewistSn appeared at the bank ant
started 10 make an investigation o
the books preparation to the publlca
ton of the lists of accounts. Mr.
Ingersoll worked with him Throughout
the day, but Thursday did not appea
at the bank, being taken suddenly II
from what Is believed to be over-in
diligence in headache powders.
Knowing that exposure was immi
nent IngerSoll had carefully prepare
statement, which was found in hi
desk at the bank after he was take
Ill. Just what the letter said official
of the institution decline to divulge
this time, but that it contained a
admission of the shortage. and
least a partial statement OF the meth
DDS employed to cover it up for S
many years, is not denied.
Treasurer Ingersoll himself is
the point OF death. He does not kno
that the bank has been closed, for
his few conscious moments those
the bedside have carefully led n
thoughts away from the affairs of tt
institution.
