New York, Aug. 1.-Weeping pitt
fully in cell in the Tombs and on
the verge of a physical collapse En-
win Johann Wider, the s25 a week
cashier who stole more than $4,000
worth of securities from his employ
ers, the Russo-Chinese bank agency,
attributed his downfall to his meager
salary.
Eyes, l took the money and securi-
ties" said Wider, furtively wiping the
tears from his eyes, "but it was only
to be expected of a man on starvation
wages handling millions of dollars in
cash and securities.
Il was getting $25 week and had
family to support. 1t was all the
fault of the bank. They should not
have put one man, paid a miserable
salary, in charge of everything"
Wider is awaiting arraignment on
a charge of grand larceny. He gave
himself up and was sent to jail in de-.
fault of $4,000 bail.
Il never thought of the conse.
quences of my act," complained Wi
der, who is scarcely five feet tall and
slight and seems like an erring boy
waiting punishment for some trivial
offense. He is hardly thirty years old
and, overweight by his experience,
weeps like a girl when he discusses
his misdeeds.

But I never had a chance. Every

seemed never to have enough. There

Quincy, Mass, Aug. 1.--Armed to

kill on sight, more than 200 picked
shots from Comapny K, Fifth Massa-

politan police and from the fire and
police forces of this city are searc1

Restelli, granite contractor, who
killed two persons and wounded five
others. III
Business difficulties with his family
and the Hardwick brothers are said
to have been the cause of Restelli's
murderous outbreak. Dashing through
the streets of the city in a buggy the
slayer picked out his victims and shot
them down as fast as the horse could
carry him from one location to an
other. Apparently he was determined
to STAY every person who had offend
ed him. =

At a regular session of the city
aouncli last night, another move III
the direction of reducing expenses
was made when 1t was decided that
me trash wagons, which have hereto
fore kept the streets and alleys in
the business section free of rubbish,
be dispensed with and citizens requir-
ed to keep their premises clean at
their own expense, as provided by
ordinance now in effect.
This action was taken after an ef-
fort had been made to induce busi-
ness men of the city to contribute
a certain amount each month to main.

ment having been given the sanitary
officer, who called upon several citi
zens for that purpose
After the result of Sanitary Officer
