The THEFT OF
$4,000 is
STILL RIDDLE

New York, July $50 complete has
been the disappearance of the $4,000
worth Of bonds from the strong box
of the New York agency of the Russo
Chinese bank that those who r to-
day striving to solve the riddle of the
remarkable theft are as far at sea as
In the beginning.
The exact time of the theft is not
known. and none of the employees OF
the bank, it was declared, is missing.
Gustav Gertz, the banks agent, left
for his vacation two weeks ago, and In
his absence a certain amount of uncer-
tainty seems to surround the tnstitu-
TONS search for the stolen bonds
Julius Goldman, counsel for the
agency, expressed the positive convic-
ton that the slightest suspicion bad
not been directed toward MIR. Gertz,
but he confessed that the bank was
at q complete loss to know where to
begin its investigation. Up to yester-
day afternoon the theft had not been
reported to the police and 1t had not
been placed In the hands of any pri-
yate detective bureau. Mr.. Goldman
said that this was because he wanted
to find a starting point before he In
trusted the case to any detectives. pub
lie or private, and he added that there
would be no move toward starting an
investigation of this kind until today.
AT the same time when the lawyer
was asked whether any one was al
ready under suspicion and whether he
was having any, one watched he de-
clared that he preferred not to answer.
The parent office of the Russo-Chi-
nese bank Is in St. Petersburg. and it
does a large business in China and
Manchuria. The agency here at 81
Pine street has been in existence for
several years and for most Of that
time Mfr. Gertz has been in charge. The
vacation for which he left recently
has been known about for some time.
He had made his plans to go away and
all his friends knew that he was going.
They said yesterday that he was In
know his exact location, so that they
couldn't communicate with him about
the theft. ...
The first intimation that Wall street
had that these bonds had disappeared
came through a notification to the
Stock Exchange. A few moments lat
err the news was sent out at MFR. Gold
mans suggestion over one of the ticker
services c~autioning brokers against
or purchasing any of the
securities.
Mr.. Goldman said that all these
bonds were the property Of the bank
itself and that they we're not collateral.
The strong box from which the Sc
curities were stolen was carried every
day to and fro between the banking
agency and a safety deposit vault. In
the box were kept a great many of the
securities Of the company. and to It's
lock several men had keys. Gertz,
and Schulz were among
these, and Goldman didn't know how
many keys were in existence. The Off
,inl who went to the lawyer with the
Of the missing bonds said that
hey had searched everywhere they
and that there was no trace of
the securities. They had simply drop
ped out of sight.

The operators refused to change their
former offer and the miners refused to

and will strike till the cows come

to be the miners always had to split
the difference, or in other words, al

that amount and then compromise.
They ask just what they intend to

No compromise or split the difference

miners ever demanded twice what they
are due, but they would have to if
these compromises and split the differ

throats, travelling around over the

Should Local Self Government or
Majority Rule Prevail?
BY SiIena NJ. Holman.

This may seem a strange question
TO ask in Democratic Government
But does itH Let us see.
In 1905 the slavery question was tn
absorbing issue in the United States
+ A majority of the people of the Sou Il
believed in slavery and wanted to b,
allowed to continue to hold theil
slaves. 1t was a question to them o.
local self government And it GER
tainly looks as if they might have
been Itrmitted to settle this question
for themselves. But they were not.
The people in the other states conclud.
I ed they too were interested in the mat.
! ter for it was question of right and
wrong-the keeping of human beings
in slavery. They took hold Of the
matter and slavery was done away
with.
Some years ago we had one large
section of this country, Utah, four
fifths of whose inhabitants believed
in and practiced polygamy at will.
People objected. Said 1t was all wrong
for man to have more than one wife
But Brigham Young with his twenty
one wives, said: "A majority of our
people believe in the Mormon doc
trine. You have no right to set up a
Standard for our people, and try to
compel us to live up to it. We believe
in the principal of local self govern
ment. Let us settle this question for
ourselves. y We're they permitted to
do it? Nay, verify. but law was
passed, making it a penitentiary Of
fence to have more than one wife, and
it was enforced. In short time, more
than one thousand polygamists were
behind the bars for violating that law.
The civil war left Louisiana, along
with other southern states, in bad
way financially. That state undertook
to recuperate its finances by establish
ing, under the protection of the state
government, the the great Louisiana
state lottery Millions of money be-
gan to pour into the state from other
states. Soon people began to say,
that's wrong, all wrong, it ought to
be prohibited. And it was prohibit
ed. Though large majority of the
people of that state wanted the lottery
to go on; the people of the nation took
hand, and the lottery was destroyed. |
They might have reasonably have ask.
ed to be allowed to settle the question
on the principle of local SELF govern
ment. But they were not permitted to
do SO.
Bringing the matter nearer home.
Down in the Reelfoot Lake Country,
the people inand around that county
were bitterly opposed to certain laws
relating to land and water ownership.
1t was purely local matter, and CON
cernga them more than any one else.
Why not permit them to settle this
question for themselves. But they
were not permitted to do SO. Instead,
the Governor called out the state mill
