-Rescues Her Body.

San Francisco, Feb. 2.-ConcIuding
cruise Of 22.O0O miles around the world
the big Hamburg American liner Cleve-
land, Captain Christian Dempwolf, is in
San Francisco harbor.
The 535 tourists on board the big Ham
American liner have met with ex-
ceptionably favorable weather conditions
since they left New York on October II.
Not a single storm was encountered on
the sea and but two deaths occurred on
board the ship.
The first death was that of Roland d.
Armstrong, a retired manufacturer OF
New York, who succumbed to a chronic
complaint soon after the vessel left Bonn
bay.
The other fatality was the death of
-1rs. Sherwood Hall, an elderly lady who
became afflicted with suicidal mania and
threw herself overheard while the CIeve-
land was in japanese waters. Marcus
Jordan Of Washington made a heroic
effort at rescue and recovered the body
after life was extinct. When the alarm
was given Jordan, who was standing on
the upper deck some forty feet from the
water, dove overheard Jordan is IS
years old and athlete. His action in
diving to Mrs. Halls rescue was espe-
cially courageous the sea at that place
was swarming with man-eating sharks.
The Cleveland will leave San Francisco
on its worlds tour for New York on Feb
ruary and a full passenger list has been
booked.
Those who arrived today have their

County Commissioners Decline Money

Several interpretations of the law
governing the distribution of fees in the

been secured both by Thomas and the
county board Acting on the advice of
his attorneys, J. J. Schenck and Major
A. M Harvey, the clerk this week sent
to the county treasury such funds as
the lawyers believed were due under the
law.
Now the commissioners believe that
the county should participate in the
earnings of the Office to a greater ex-
tent than under the Interpretation of
the clerks attorneys Asked for a state
ment concerning the amount claimed
by the county, members of the board
declined to give their figures. That they

from their special accountants before
making a statement, is generally con-
ceded. At the present time this report
is being compiled. 1t may be present
ed to the board in the next so days.
Work on Thomas books was started BY
the county September 5, last year.
Should the county board determine
to file suit against Thomas-and the
action now seems certain-it will be

county in Kansas Many counties have
experienced the same trouble as Thomas
has encountered in settlements with
the county as to fees, fines and costs

BLAMES The BANKER.
Fewer DefaIcations If Employees Were
Paid Larger Salaries.

Bank Commissioner Dolley has CIV
en- out the following statement which
is contained in a letter to Kansas
bankers:
Many of the defalcations of bank
employees should, in a large measure
be chargeable to the officers higher up.
In many cases the officials do not keep
to their daily habits, and often times
do not pay them sufficient salaries.
largely due to their eagerness for pay
ing large dividends.
Every employee of q bank should
receive a fair salary and be fully paid
on a basis of his worth to the institu-
ton. And when he is receiving a fair
salary and full compensation for his
services and cannot live within the
amount his services should at once be
discontinued. If it is impossible to do
this from the earnings of the bank, the
bank should liquidate and go out OF
business because it becomes q menace
to the banking world and the depOs-
iting public when its condition is such
that its earnings win not provide a
suitable wage for its servants.
1T has always seemed to me that when
a cashier. teller. bookkeeper or o.ner en-
ployee begins to put on extra style and
spend more money extravagantly in dress
or in other respects, that the president or
directors of the bank should call him be-
fore them to give information as to how
he is getting the money.
They could at least say to him. AS
you are working for us, it would be TO
the credit of this bank we'll as to your
own credit if you exhibit enough courage
and character to stand firm against
temptation to spend money that you
ought not to spend.
People not willing to be restricted by
abstemious habits and those not will
ing to deny themselves for the purpose
of accommodating money honestly have no
proper place in the banking business.
Proper and vigorous supervision of
this kind over the habits and aspirations
Of their clerks would save millions of
dollars to the banks of this country, be-
sides assisting their clerks to build up
