ALBION. Mich, January 6.-That Cash

for the forgeries which led to the suspen-
sion of the Albion National Bank last
Tuesday was the statement made yester-
day by Miss Addie Hollon, stenographer
for the Cook Manufacturing Company.
who admits that she, at the inStigation of
officers of the company, played part in
issuing forged notes to the extent of more
than $4,000.
Miss Hollon further stated that not al
the money raised by these notes was sunk
in the effort to bolster up the Cook con-
Germ, of which the aged cashier was presi-
dent. Whatever p. NJ. bearing, son of
the cashier. and secretary-treasurer of
the manufacturing company. did, she said,

Did the Cook company pay its local
expenses by the aid of this stealing?' the
stenographer was asked.
Then came the startling answer: THE
Cook company, except in two instances,
sent money and good notes to the bank
to cover all local expenseS-that Is, all eX-
pense of the company which appeared on
the books and passed through this office.
IF that money was used for anything,

But She Gained Time to Postpone
impending Court Trial.

house Of detention, where she was
held to answer a charge of theft.
A physician was summoned. He was
unable to find any indication of a
prospective At, however, but the time
consumed had caused SO much delay
that Patsy, who is woman, could
not be sent to court today in time
to be tried.
Detectives Springmann and O'Brien
arrested Patsy last night and charged
her with having stolen a registered
mail package containing a ring, the
nronerty of Miss Ann Kuhn. 1443
Massachusetts, avenue northwest. and
sent to her as Christmas present.
Patsy Rencher was employed in the
house as domestic at the time the
theft was committed. The detectives
searched her room at 1905 r street
and, they say, found the ring and
some bedding belonging to Miss Kuhn.
Patsy will be tried in the Police Court

Having met with such phenomenal luck
on his last ducking trip on the Patuxent
river, when he killed more wild geese
than he could carry and one of the big
gest bags of quail killed by a local
sportsman this season, Norman Pruitt is
arranging another trip, to be taken in
the near future. This time he is going
to take with him two or three guests.
1t is the idea of the gunner to take
with him friends who are counted as
real sportsmen. He says he knows the
geese and ducks are to be had. and he is
anxious to see what his friends can do
from the blinds. A blast of wintry
weather about the time the start is made
is desired.
Norman Pruitt lays no claim to hOnors
for the big bag of game he killed on his
last trip to the PatuXent, but gives full
credit to Buck Payne. Familiarity known

EQUALITY OF POLICEMEN.
Commissioners Urged to Indorse
Bill for Crossings Officers.

Denying the authority OF the District
Commissioners to regulate the pay and
leaves Of absence of crossings policemen.
John r. Shields. representing the Cross
ings Policemen's Association. at hearing
today in the District building urged the
Commissioners to support the bill now
pending in Congress, which would place
the street intersection officials on an equal
footing with members Of the metropolitan
police force
At a recent hearing of the bill, which
twice has been favorably reported on by
the House District committee and Is
now pending before the District commit
tee Of the Senate, the suggestion was
made BY Engineer Commissioner Judson
that the matter was one which might
properly be regulated by the Commits
sioners. Attorney Shields today read an
opinion submitted by former Assistant
Corporation Counsel Duval. to the effect
that congressional legislation is neces-
sary to place crossings policemen on a
footing with members Of the metropolitan
police force with respect to pay and
leaves Of absence.
The Commissioners told Mr. Shields that
they would give early consideration TO his
request for favorable report on the bill.
At ii e time the measure was being con-
sdered by the House committee the Com
missioners did not report favorably on il,
although IL received the unanimous APP
prevail of the committee members.

Gen. Evans sets out at great length the
faults and virtues of the militia. and de-
scribes their needs. The result is not ell

Here are some of the things that Gen.
Evans wants: Federal pay for adjutants

by the government for the field artillery
and cavalry Of the militia: more sergeants
In the regular army who may de detailed
to duty as instructors to the militia; the

federal pay for militia service.
Nearly all of the seventy-four troops OF
militia cavalry are unframed In the use
of its most important weapon the horse
and are in fact nothing but infantry.
Touching the proposition to pay tor mi
litia service, Gen. Evans says it is be-
lieved that the limit of sacrifice that can
be asked of the militia under the pres
ent laws and without compensation has
about been reached. AS the people of the
United States are opposed to CONSUMPTION,
it would seem to be only just that those
men who are willing to sacrifice their
time in military service for the protection
of the country should at least be partially
COMPENSATED.

Justice Wright and William E. Ambrose
were on the PatuXent river near Benedict
part of last week, and they had good luck
while the weather conditions were favor
able. but a stiff nor'wester and rim of
ice along the shores ended their cunning.

jurist and his companion.
The second day they We're at Benedict
they had for their guests Harry A. Kite
and Thomas o. May, but the guests ar
rived in time to catch the bad weather
and consequently they had poor luck.
For many years the PatuXent river has

wealthy residents of New York. Philadel-

those who patronized the hotels at Bene-

where oystermen usually reap harvest

two miles from the town and did their

many anglers. There has been but few

Declaring that should Great Britain
become involved in war. India would
be the point of attack, and would be the
pivotal point of the empire, RustOm Rus
tomjee, a distinguished Indian scholar
and editor, who is in Washington at the
invitation Of the National Geographic So
ciety, today told a reporter for The Star
that England would be unwise not to
insist upon the integrity and independ-
ence Of Persia to act as q buffer state
between India and Russia. He said that
in his opinion the tacit division of Persia
between Russia and Great Britain, the
northern section going to Russia and the
southern to Great Britain, was not only
an outrage upon a weaker nation. but
also a poor move from the standpoint OF
British politics.
Il believe that the American treasurer
general of Persia. w. Morgan Shuster,
should have been retained. said Rustom-
lee. He was doing excellent work for
Persia, aiding to put the country on its
feet again But it was not Rnssia's de-
sire, apparently. that Persia should be-
come strong again. l do not think that
Russia will permit the employment of
Shuster or any other American by Persia
to straighten out her finances.
1T is with much suspicion that / see
any move by Russia toward India. The
northern part of Persia is rich in min
erals and other resources, while southern
Persia, which has been assigned to Grea
Britain. by the arrangement with Russia,
is comparatively poor
Indian Self-Government.
But / am more familiar with the
political situation in India continued
Rustomjee. He said that the Indians
were being granted more and more voice
| in the government of their own country,
and declared that the government estab-
| lished by England in India was admir-
| able.
There is one fallacy which hear re-
peated SO often-that England is levying
| heavy tribute upon India and is drain
| ing the country of its wealth." said
Rustomjee. This is absolutely untrue
! OF course India must pay the salaries
| of the officials who govern the country,
| just as Persia was paying the salary Of
| Shuster. it's treasurer general. These Of
| ficials are many of them Englishmen and
| when they retire they are pensioned and
| India pays for the pensions. But this
is just The great bulk Of midas money,
