BIG REPUBLICAN BANQUET

Chicago, April "a Republican
"get together" dollar dinner will
take place tonight, under the aus
pices of the Hamilton Club. This
will probably turn out to be the
most pretentious Republican rally
attempted in the past few years.
Special invitations have been sent
to the women voters of Illinois. One
of the possibilities is the launching
of presidential boom, probably for
Senator Cummings, who long has
been favorite. Gov. John K.
Tener, of Pennsylvania. Senator A.
B. Cumins, of Iowa; Congressman
James Manahan, of ST. Paul; Con-
gresham Simon D. Foss, of Yellow
Springs, o., and District Attorney
Charles l.. Whitman of New York,

BIG IRRIGATION MEETING

Denver, Col, April 9.-A ma
tional conference for the advance
ment of the irrigation interests of
the country will be held here today
Delegates from Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming
are present. 1t would be mistake
to assume that all these States are
uniformally dependent upon irriga-
tion in the raising of crops. Some
of them have much wider arid and
semi-arid area than others; to some
of them irrigation is of first impor-
tance, to others, secondary. This
convention will draw out facts,
which as a rule, receive little atten-
tion in official reports. Considera-
ton will be given to methods of CO.
operation between the States and
the federal government, the exten-
sion of irrigation projects, and the
financing of such work. Secretary
of the Interior Lane, at whose insti-
CATION the delegates convene, will
be represented by several members
of his staff Financial interests in
terested in the fotation of irriga-
tion bonds will have representatives
at the meeting.

be accomplished by the filing of a
deposition of the four men for use

the gunmen would confess.

C0RD0vA CASHIER
 SHORT oiF FUNDS
Arrasted Yesterday Charged With Having Taken $7,500 From Blum's
 Bank-Company Insured.

Charles A. Eby, who has been con- nected with s. Blum & Co.'s bank in Cordova for several years as cashier, was arrested yesterday charged with embedding $7,500 of the funds of the bank. The arrest caused sensation in the railroad town as the accused had occupied prominent position in the social and business life of Cor dova since his arrival there five years ago. The warrant upon which he was arrested was sworn out by the Amer ican Surety Company, who bonded the accused in the sum of $10,000. He was given a preliminary hearing yester- day afternoon before Commissioner Adams and was bound over to the grand jury with bail fixed at S5,000.
 The system of peculations is believ- ed to have extended over long per iod of time as the bank offic' als had the utmost confidence in his honesty and integrity The officials of the bank have, however. known of the shortage for several weeks and a no tice was recently published announc- ing that he was no longer connected with the bank The warrant upon which he was taken in charge is as follows:
 That said Chas. A. Eby on the 17th of February, 1914, was ah officer, az ent and employe of S. Blum X Co.,. as cashier of their bank, had in his possession and under his care the sum of $7,500. which money came in his possession and under his control by virtue of his employment in the bank and was the personal property of S. Blum & Co.,; that he unlawfully, will fully and fe1oniously did embezzle and fraudulently convert the same to his own use"
 The bank will not lose dollar, as the surety company have already wir- ed for statement and will make an immediate payment of the shortage. Experts are working on the books to uncover all peculations and will have statement in few days.
 The American Surety company, however, will prosecute the cashier, who is now in the Cordova jail, as he is unable to secure the necessary bail
