THE COST OF TOO
MUCH CONFIDENCE

Copyright. 1874. By @. NJ. Keys, New Yorf)
An old and respected lawyer who has
an office on Chambers street, New York.
has recently been indicted under a charge
Of fraud. The amount Of other peoples
money which he Is said to have lost for
its owners Is something like 100000. The
list Of people who had intrusted their
money to him for safekeeping is long
and impressive one. About one-third OF
the names are the names OF women. The
smallest amount lost by any one inves-
tor is $500 and the largest sA.152.
In this case, as in so many similar
cases, there does not appear to be any
Intentional dishonesty. Several OF the
people who lost all their money through
this trustee were relatives of his own,
and many others appear to have been
close friends Of the trustee and his fam
lily. It is reported that the lawyer Is not
at all of the pirate type, but that his un-
fortunate handling of other peoples
money has brought as much misery to
him as to any of his unfortunate follow
ers. He had not, It appears, invested In
wildcat schemes or Intentionally appro-
priated funds to his own use. 1t is the old
story Of a man who, having built up
through many years a reputation for
good, honest handling of money. grad
ually let things slip through his fingers
and became involved in heavier and
heavier losses Being afraid to face the
facts at any time. he went on and on,
hoping to recover lost ground and taking
longer chances until finally practically
everything was lost.
At the same time that this little news
item appears, comes the estimate from
Washington that something like $12o-
ooo,0 900 was lost last year by investors In
get-rich-quick financial concerns. This is
an annual announcement and the amount
varies only slightly year by year. 1t
does not seem to grow smaller, In spite
Of the fact that there Ii very large
amount Of publicity now given to the
Ret-rich-quick game as compared with q
few years aso, and that the government
itself prosecutes offenses Of this sort

Governor Will Order That Salary
Warrants for Last Year Be
Met at Once.

Following precedent set BY For
mer Governor Joseph VI Brown, and
10 line with an Interpretation Of the
law set by himself while Acting Gov
ernor in 1911, Governor Slston has
drawn his warrant for 100000, and
will order the common school teach
ers paid Immediately the balance due
them on salaries for 1913.
The law makes 1t mandatory upon
the Governor TO pay up last year 5
balance before this years approprta-
tons are touched Some pressure
was brought to bear upon the Execu-
tive to make him pay the Confeder-
ate pensions for this year before
squaring accounts with the teachers
for last, but under the law the Gov
ernor could not do that, even had he
wished TO. The pensions for 1913 all
have been paid, and those for 1914
will be paid before May /. The Gov
eTnor hopes TO be able 10 pay the
veterans well in advance of the final
date of payment permitted.
Superintendent of Schools Britain
made requisition for 100000 upon
the Governor late Thursday after
noon, and the Governor Immediately
notified him that the requisition
would be honored Friday.

1918 BABIES LUCKY YEAR
Their Death Rate Shows Big
Decrease Over 1912.

Fewer babies died in greater New
York during 1913 than in the preced-
ing year. according to the report just
issued by tn bureau Of child hygiene
of the Board OF Health. The total
number OF deaths e children under
one year OF age in the city last year
was 1872. In 1912 l4.269 died. The
infant death rate of 1912 was lO2 in
each thousand and last year only ISL.
Allowing for the increase in population,
this means that 1869 lives were saved.
Dr. s. Josephine Baker. chief OF the
child hygiene bureau, says in her re-
port that organized parental education
carried on by infant welfare organiza-
tions was responsible in large measure
for the satisfactory showing. Praise is
also given to the work of the milk sta
tons.
