1905, charged with the embezzlement
of s1.200,OOO from the funds of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee,. He
was Immediately admitted to bail in
the sum Of $4,000 and turned over all
Of his property to- the officials Of the
bank.
The next day he admitted that his
debts eyre $2.200.000 and on April %,
the Wisconsin Trust and Security COM
pany was named as receiver.
In his statement of liabilities and
assets on April % he claimed that his,
liabilities we're $3.327,0o0 and his as.
sets but $1,S49,s00, of which he said.
that $4,000 was exempt under the law.
On June IL. 1905, the federal grand
jury brought in an idictment on one
count. Bigelow pleaded guilty imme-
diately. One hour and half after
his sentence he was on his way to

little knowledge Of the conditions In
the interior, or. IL they have, they are
not permitting the facts to be known.
There are few or no foreigners In the
interior and conditions there for this
reason are not attracting much public
attention. It is impossible even to
estimate the number of deaths. DR..
Samuel Cochrane, an American who fs
engaged in the work Of relief, writes:
Zone million people will die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty. because the people have not
the strength to till the soil. and no
animals remain for blowing"
The Chinese are directing their ef-
forts to control the plague chiefly
along the railways and frontiers, for
political reasons. Since the recent
Russian request for permission to
cross the border and quarantine Chin.
ese towns along the Amur, China has
been attempting to check the plague
along that frontier, but the Russian
legation says that this has been done
ineftectively, because there are no doc
tors there who are familiar with mod.
ern methods of sanitation.
Foreigners Mistrusted.
Local authorities, including the po-
lice and soldiers, in former epidemfcs
left the people to die; now they do not
care or do not know how to maintain
adequate sanitary measures. Al
though the central government has
issued explicit orders and many OF
them, both supplies and funds are
lacking. Japanese and Russians have
both offered assistance, but only in
few places have these offers been &C.
eepted, the Chinese not liking to re.
ceive favors from foreigners, whose
Political motives they distrust.
Physicians engaged in combating
the disease are of the opinion that
warm weather will kill the germs, al
though this may bring only a tenn.
porary respite. II the plague were OF
the bubonic type; the summer heat
would serve to augment 1t, bubonic be-

The pneumonia type; on the other
hand. is transmitted through the res.
piratory apparatus, and as a conse.
quence when the Chinese emerge from
their winter quarters into the open air
they will escape much contamination.
It is said by the medical authorities
that such an epidemic as the present
one, which is entirely pneumonia, has
not visited the world since the middle

Washington, Jan. 17.-Senator AID
rich's long awaited 'plan for the re-

today He does not contemplate the
establishment of a central bank. This
is so far from what some people have

it may come as a surprise. Indeed
Mr.. Aldrich expects to disclaim his
belief in the advisability of central
bank.
What he does propose is the estab-
lishment of the Reserve Association
of America, representing what might
be called federation of local associa-
tions formed by national banks. He
says he believes such an association
would not be subject to the domina-
tion or influence of any political or
group. The association would
