$6OO,Q00 STOLEN.
Vast Sun Missing From
RuSSO-ChineSe Bank.
LOSS WAS UNDERESTIMATED.
Cashier Erwis Wider, Who Has Con-
fessed to Theft OF $4,000 and
Who Will Plead Guilty, Is
Still Hiding.

New York, July 26.-The announce
ment that the thefts at the New York
agency Of the Russo-Chinese bank
really total approximately 100000 in
stead of $4,000, as was first reported,
is today believed to be only the be-
ginning of a series of sensational ex-
posures I'm connection with the steal
ing of the bonds and securities of the
concern.
1t appears that Erwin Wider, the
cashier who has confessed that he took
considerably more than $4,000 worth
Of securities. II not held by the bank
to be responsible for the theft of the
whole amount.
you know that other persons are
concerned in this besides Wider" said
Mr.. Markowski, and moment later
he added: 81 want to make it clear
that any one concerned with Wider in
these thefts is entirely unconnected
with the bank"
Although the inspector was not will
ing to amplify this remark, his state
ment in itself confirmed belief in the
tigation into the affairs OF the local
agency may follow at the request Of
men in this country who are interested
in seeing whether there has been any
wrongdoing on II large scale by several
| persons. 1t has been learned that such
suggestion is being formulated and
| that it will be addressed to the Rus
sian minister of finance. His repre-
! sentative in this country Is Gregory
! Wilenkin. financial agent of the i'm
| perlal Russian government, whose Of
| fee is in New London, Conn.
A simultaneous request will probably
be sent to Edouard NoetZlin. chief off
Ger of the Russo-Chinese bank and also
head of the Bank of Paris and the
Low Countries. He is in Paris, and he
was one of the organizers Of the
Russo-Chi1ese bank in 1895. 1t was
stated by one familiar with the banks
history that month ago it absorbed
the Banque du Nord of st. Petersburg
but that the combination had not been
considered very successful step and
that a reorganization seemed quite
prObable: also that the conditions
which permitted theft of $6O0,0OC
would b. Investigated.
Wider, the cashier, is still missing
and a number of central office detec
tives have been sent by Inspector Rus
sell to get him. Exactly why he keeps
out of sight is not plain, for his law
yer, Samuel Ginsburg says he is goinG
to plead guilty to the charge of having
robbed the New York agency of the
RussO-Chinese bank and take hi
medicine"

A judicial Favor,

A verdant local reporter whose pro-
pensities incline to daring rather than
to Judgment and whose ardency in the
quest of news is one Of his marked
characteristics approached a Judge of
the United States district court and So
licited a little advance information on
n case in progress in the judges court
"You see, judge" said the youngster
to the astonished Jurist, 1--WE go to
press in a few moments. and we all
know your inclination to do a news
paper man a favor"
The venerable man eyed the youth
sternly and said slowly and empnat-
ically:
"Yes. young man, I'll do you a ia,
vor this time, and you viii see that
you don't ask me again."
That's 6ne, your honor. Thanks,
very much. Just few lines will do"
II will do you this favor. l shall not
send you to Jail this time, but II you
ever approach me again with such a
question your friends will not see you
for some time"

Interest Is Intense,

Ottawa, Ont, July 26.-Montreal de-
tectives and Canadian police every
where are on the alert for Dr. Crippen
and his stenographer, wanted in con-
nection with the Crippen murder. The
attention of all Europe is focused on
Canada. Interest in the Jeffries-John-
son fight was great here. but is entire
ly eclipsed by the dramatic develop
ments of this case.
Antwerp, July 26.-The two passen-
gers on the steamer MontrOse, which
sailed from here July 20 for Montreal,
who have been the object of minute
inquiries by the London police, were
booked at the steamship office as John
Robinson and John Robinson, Jr. The
elder person gave their ages as fifty
and seventeen years.

Definite Information TODAY.

Montreal, Que, July 26,-The G. P.
R. steamship officials at Montreal
stated that they had not yet received
any information respecting the report
that DR.. Crippen was on board the
steamer Montrose. They expect TO
get into communication with the YES
sci by Marconigram today when they
may receive definite information re-
specting the report.
The Montrose is expected to dock at
Quebec on Friday next The pilot
will go on board the steamer at Father
Point and he will be accompanied by
police officers. Under no circumstances
are passengers allowed to land at
Father Point, so if an arrest is made
the prisoner will be brought on to
Quebec. The ship will reach Montreal
probably on Saturday night.

AS the train sped on In the darkness
the girl leaned back and closed her
eyes wearily. She was sorry now that
she had decided to come, for she had
grown so tired Of these thoughtless,
pleasure loving people-tired of their
idle amusements. But anything had
seemed preferable at the time to the
desolate loneliness Of the place she had
left.

The door was thrust open suddenly,
and man entered, stamping the snow
from his heavy topboots. He wore a

bushy eyebrows. He looked about

berry. 1t was found that Sparks had
been rather careless In uttering and
passing worthless paper with several
Ogden merchants and under the charge
OF forgery he was brought back and
for weeks every possible effort known
TO the police profession was used in the
attempt to break the man down in his
stoical denial of criminal knowledge OF
tho daring train robbery. The descrip-
ton of Sparks tailed in every way

possess an unlimited Knowledge of

conceded among local officers as well
as railroad special agents that Sparks
was the most likely suspect arrested in
connection with the train robbery and
yet positively no information could be
obtained from either him or his wife.

the local jails he is again at liberty.
