BROKER, Sc, IS
ROBBED IN SAFETY
VAULT OF 100000
Bumped Into, He Falls and
Drops Envelope Containing
Negotiable Stocks.

NEW YORK, March 6.-George Ban
croft, ST., a broker. So years old, was
robbed last Thursday afternoon Of
securities worth approximately $500, 600,
in the vestibule of the Produce Ex-
change Safety Deposit and Storage
Company, but he did not discover his
loss until today.
For the last twenty-five years it has
been Mr.. Bancroft's habit every Thurs
day afternoon to deposit the FIRMS
valuables in a box rented by them
from the deposit and storage company.
The whole distance from his offices to
the vaults is not more than 200 feet,
and anyone making the trip is in con-
slant sight of the Office windows.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft, as
usual, PLACED securities worth that day
about 100000 in a large envelope, ap-
proximately ten inches by fourteen
square, tied with red tape and with the
FIRMS name printed in the corner.
Alone he walked from his office to the
Produce Exchange. A fight of steps
leads from the street level entrance to
the vaults. AS Mr.. Bancroft reached
the bottom of the steps he noticed a
young man whom he only remembers
as rather understood leaning against
the corridor wall.
Bumped Into, He Drops Envelope.
Mr.. Bancroft continued on his way
down the corridor, but just as he was
about to turn the corner at the end of
the corridor into the vaults a tall man
in a great hurry came running around
the corner in the opposite direction and
collided with him The shock threw
MT. Bancroft off his feet and in falling
he dropped the envelope.
That was the III for the understood
young man who had been leaning
against the corridor wall. He stepped
I'D to Mr.. Bancroft, assisted him to his
feet and was solicitous to tuck the
fallen envelope under his arm. At
least Mr.. Bancroft thought it was the
envelope which ne had dropped. He
went on to deposit it in his box as
usual.
This morning when his son., George
Bancroft, IT., unlocked the box to check
III the securities before the opening of
business for the week. he found that
the only envelope there contained three
old newspapers. A clever substitution
had been effected.
All Negotiable Securities.
The securities were made up of rail-
road and industrial stocks which could
easily be hypothecated in any stock
brokerage house in the United States
having connections with the New York
Stock Exchange. The certificates in
cluded 100 shares of Lehigh Valley, 800
shares of Shelters, 80 shares of New
York Central, 200 shares of Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, 500 Distillers' Secur-
tiles, go shares of Steel common, 10
shares of Atchison, 80 shares of Amer
lean Beet Sugar, 40 shares of Amalga-
mated Copper and 100 shares of Mis-
souri, Pacific.

DEMOGRATS Of
NEW HOUSE WAYS
AND MEANS MEET
Will Consider Reciprocity and
Radical and Conservative
Plans on Revision.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The ma
jority members of the new ways and
means committee of the new Demo-
cratic House of Representatives held
their first meeting today to begin the
formulation of a program which may
include the selections of all standing
committees as well as a decision in re-
gard to the extent to which the ex-
t%raordinary session will go in the mat
ter of revising the tariff. Chairman
Underwood, of Alabama, presided, and
all of the fourteen members were
present.
The committee will be compelled to
listen to two factions in formulating Its
plans. One is radical and demands
that all of the committees be named
Immediately, so that attention may be
given to all kinds of legislation. This
faction will favor the enactment of a
bill to carry out the terms of the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, but will
favor also the reporting of a schedule
by-schedule revision of the tariff, with
AT least the wooden and cotton sched-
ules tackled on to the Canadian agree
ment.
The purpose Of this is to compel the
Interpretation that a vote against the
revision of these schedules is a vote
against Canadian reciprocity.
other Plan More Conservative.
The other plan, urged by the ore
conservative members of the new
House In response to requests from
conservative Democrats of the Senate,
involves action on the Canadian agree
ment and the consideration Of a sched-
le-by-schedule revision in the regular
session next winter. Those who favor
this plan would have the ways and
means committee study the whole stu
alton as various other committees
study plans by which appropriations
for the departments might be scaled
down without Gripping the public
business.
Chairman Underwood, acting in ac-
cord with the views of himself, Speak
er-elect Clark and other leaders Of the
party, has formulated a tentative pro-
gram to submit to the committee.

other 541 bills introduced from the open
ing Of the session on January 10 to the
close of the eighth week on Wednes-
day last.
The two primary bills already passed
by the Senate are the Nichols bills,
which provide for e direct nomina-
ton of governor and congressman.
They fulfill ever. thing Il tina direction
promised by both parties in their plat
forms to such an extent the Demo-
craft senators could not consistently
oppose them, and they passed the
upper house without a dissenting vote.
The Nichols bills are essentially a
redemption of party pledges and if
held up IN the House to crafty the
caprice Of the authors of the Geran bill
the latter will likely meet a similar
fate in the Senate should it reach the
latter body In any form.
In the meantime II is expected the
Senate committee on railroads will re-

LAKE" COAL CASES ARE
BEFORE COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March ga
hearing of what is popularity known as
the Lake coal case" was begun today
by the Interstate Commerce Compis-
sion. The case involves the reasonable
ness Of advances in oal rates proposed
by the carriers from the Pocahontas
fields and the bituminous fields in West
Virginia and northern Kentucky. Ohio
and western Pennsylvania to ports on
the great lakes.
These advances were attacked by the
shippers, it being alleged, among other
things, that the Increases were induced
by the Pennsylvania railroad through
a conspiracy with other lines directly
interested in coal shipments.

"Meuen Joke" May Be More Serious Than He

Is Encouraging.
Is Encouraging.

Wall street laugh heartily to-day when
the Boston and Maine, d subsidiary of
the New Haven announced a deficit of
Sl,6O2, 9S3 for the year ended June 80. This
Joke is almost as funny as the one
attempted by ,..e Erie two years ago in
the announcement that the road would
go into hands of receiver.
The humorous part of the New Haven
situation is the fact that the heavy
shrinkage in earnings by the New Haven
system is due to the closing down of fac
tories. The New Haven controls prac-
England with the exception of the Bos-
ton and Albany, in which it has a half
interest. The figures. therefore. prove
that the manufaCturinc interests of the
country are suffering severely. New
Haven directors are expected to perpe-
trate another joke on investors this week
by reducing the dividend.
