Hall Didn't Dispose ofAI|
The Stolen 100000.
BrotheT-in-|aw Said to Hav e
Removed Two Tin Boxes
Containing Money, Bonds, Etc.,
From House and Given to Sister.

Boston, April 7.-Seeking to discover
how John A. Hall was able to dispose
Of the 100000 which he is charged with
having embezzled from the South
bridge Savings Bank of which he was
treasurer, the legislative investigating
committee today brought out the dis
closure that Rober B. Marin, brother
in-law of Hall. had gone to the treas
urer's house in Southbridge after his
fight and removed two tin boxes, con-
tanning money, town bonds and mort
cages, and delivered them to his sister,
Mrs. Hall.
Previous hearings have failed to
show that Treasurer Hall lost any
great sums in the stock market, in
fact. the evidence adduced today
proved that he had been almost uni
formally successful and while Mr. Hall
had confessed to having lost various
sums at poker the committee has still
to discover what became Of the greta
bulk of the missing money.
Stewart F. Martin, brother-in-law
Of Mr.. Hall. tried to account for the
mysterious disappearance of so much
money by the fact that Mr.. Hall was
extremely liberal with his friends and
relatives. but could remember but one
specific instance in which he had Civ
en- away money, that being loan OF
100000 to a brother in the West.
Early in the days hearing, represen-
tatives of Boston brokerage house
I testified that Hall had shown himself
very keen investor and that he usu.
ally was very successful.

WHAT HE DIDN'T SEE.
What A Traveller Observed On Trip
Through Illinois And Wisconsin.

The writer has just returned
from a tour of several hundred
miles Of farming country in Him
oi5 and Wisconsin among some
of the richest and most progress
i've farmers in the world. | am
going to tell what | saw that eX.
plains the almost unparaIjed
prosperity Of these farmers, but
perhaps better explanation may
be found in what | did NOT see.
For example, take this list:
No mules.
No cabins.
No gulles,
No old fields.
No forest fires.
No big plantations.
No one horse plows,
No loafers at depots.
No sheep-killing dogs.
No small work horses.
No stumps in the field.
No commercial fertilizers.
No factory-slave children,
No farm homes implanted,
No one-rOom school houses.
No farms without live stock,
No anaemic- looking children.
No land without cover crops.
No cows or males with ribs
showing.
No burning Of vegetable mat
Ter.
No parasite store at every
crossroads.
No farm cut up into piddling
patches.
No surface-scratchin miscall-
ed plowing.
No farm home without sanitary
convonienoes.
No farmer "bo5sing" hands
without working himself.
And it might DO said in con-
clusion that there were no negros
and consequently no white men
and women either waiting for
negros to do work they might do
themselves, or abstaining from
what their hands found to do
from any absurd idea that it was
"beneath them. ."-Clarenco Poe,
