Clarence r. Edwards were present at a
dinner. and the conference followed. No
conclusion was reached as to any action
to be taken. 1t was said that President
Taft would decline to make any sugges-
tions of the name of a successor TO Judge
Dillon.
1t developed at the conference that
the President, Senator Burton. and all
the Ohio leaders would be glad TO have
Judge Dillon reconsider in regard to the
ticket, but none of them expects that
he will do so. It was agreed that the
vacancy would have to be filed by the

expressed the hope that some way might
be found to reconvene the State conven-
ton. believing that this would be
more satisfactory way. But the plan.
after being investigated, was found to
be impracticable.

EMbEzLED FUND
TO BE RETURNED
Friends of Bank Clerk to Try and
Make Good Shortage Of
$4,000.
BROKER MAY BE INVOLVED

Rumors were astir in financial circles
late yesterday afternoon to the effect
that the local broker. whose business
house executed the orders on the New
York Stock Exchange for the former
employe of the old National City Bank
and the Commercial National Bank, who
confessed having forged notes aggre-
eating nearly s25.0oo. was director OF
the former institution at the time OF the
speculatons.,
The broker could not be located last
night at his residence. and II lis SAID
that he Is in New York Although the
brokerage house is not a member OF the
New York Exchange, II transacts consid-
cradle business in Wall Street. One OF
the rules of the New York Exchange
prohibits brokers from executing orders
for employees of banks.
1t is said that the three banking COM
panies which went on the bond Of the self
confessed embezzler expect the local
broker to reimburse them for some por-
ton of the $4,000. This seems extremely
likely, in view of the fact that the broker
is said to be In New York. the headauar-
tiers of the National surety Company, one
OF the three companies.
Negotiations are now on foot between
the bonding companies and the fatner
and friends OF the young man. An oner
has already been made to restore be-
tween $1,000 and Si5000 OF the emoezzled
money officials of the bonding COM
panIes refuse to discuss the matter. The
Fidelity and Deposit Company, of Mary
land, is the second company involved 1t
| is understood that officials OF all three
companies have no desire to prosecute
the young clerk as long as they are
assured that the money will be returned
in full.
Considers Incident Ended.
As far as the Commercial National
Bank is concerned. the matter is over.
| A. G.. Chaplain, president OF the institu-
tion. said yesterday afternoon that the
bank officials will take no steps toward
the prosecution OF the former employe.
| The bank loses nothing by the embezzle-
ment. the bonding companies covering the
| loss.
II is not likely that immediate steps
toward prosecution will be taken by the
Office of the United States Attorney.
Reginald S. HuIdekoper. assistant United
States attorney, said yesterday that no
| investigation will be inaugurated unless
special grand jury is impaneled this
summer. The grand jury VIII meet in
September and IL is possible that an IN
vestigation will be made then No Tor
NAL presentation Of the case has been
made to the Office to the knowledge OF
| Mr. Huidekoper.
The mother OF the young clerk is still
| at the family cottage at Colonial Beach.
Va. The young man and his father are
| said to be in the city. They live in the
Northwest section.
| All attention is now centered on the re-
turn OF the broker who executed the
orders for the bank employe. 1t is be-
lieved by some that the transactions
were carried on through the house with
out the broker himself becoming aware
of the fact that the speculator was en-
ploycd at the bank with which he was
| connected.

YOM KIPPUR'S END

Yom Kippur, Hebraic for the Day OF

The sound Of the shofar OF trumpet
fromthe rams holm signaled the close
of a twenty-four-hour fast, and the
worshipers went home to partake OF
the first food or drink to pass their

The Day of Atonement is considered
so sacred that 1t is called the Sabbath

cidence, II fell this year ON the Sab
bath, making that day Of rest doubly
significant.
The Book of Fate. according TO an
ancient Orthodox tradition, was closed
with the blast Of the shofar. This
Book of Fate is pictured as q record
kept In Heaven of the inhabitants Of
the earth. During the ten days be-
tween Rosh Hashannah. or New Year,

do penance In order to be inscribed in

to make his peace with the Creator.
