CAPITAL PICKETS LEPER
Washington Guards Roads to Prevent
Return of Cradle.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington. Sept. l6.-Automobile
parties found almost as much difficulty
in getting into Washington this after
noon and tonight as though touring
roads in Northern France, so thickly
were pickets posted 10 guard against
the return of the leper, Emil R. Cradle,
who disappeared from Washington on
August l3 and appeared in Pittsburgh
the day following. The latter city has
announced its purpose to return Cradle
here.
Acting Health Officer John l.. Norris
proposed the plan of guarding all roads
to prevent his return, holding that he
was not in any sense a proper charge
upon the district. This plan was ap-
proved Dy the district commissioners
this afternoon, and guards at once
posted. Reports that he would come in
an automobile, TO be burned on arrival.
resulted in almost every car being ex-
amlned.

EX-MAYOR TAKEN
AS BANK ROBBER
Ansonia Institutions Officer Said
TO Have Admitted $4,000
TheftS.

Ansonia, Conn, Sept. 16.-Following
the discovery that Ex-Mayor Franklin
Burton, treasurer Of the Savings Bank
of Ansona. was short $4,000 in his cash
accounts, and that he was alleged to
have confessed TO embezzling $4,000,
State Bank Commissioner Sturgis or
dered the institution closed.
The news of the closing spread rap
idly through the city, and in a snort
time the entire police department had
its hands full handling the 5000 de-
positors who insisted on storming the
doors to draw out their money.
SO threatening became the crowd
that Mayor Schulmaker mounted the
steps Of the bank to address the crowd,
but his efforts were drowned in jeers
and roars of 1--WE want Burtonl" Re-
alizing the uselessness of talk, the
Mayor ordered the patrolmen to draw
their revolvers. He also sent in a gem
eral fire alarm. The men of both de-
partments by repeatedly charging the
crowl for two hours and by liberal
use of water and nightsticks succeeded
in breaking it up.
In public statement Bank Commits
sioner Sturgis said that Burton when
questioned about the cash shortage
confessed that for the last fifteen years
he had embezzled $4,000 by means of
bogus notes which appear in the banks
statement as assets. The money stolen.
Burton told the Commissioner, was
los. in realty deals. Following the
treasurer's statement, Mr.. Sturgis said,
he ordered the arrest of Burton.
Bank officials when they found that a
run had been started on the bank in
voked the sixty-day clause. Later a
statement was issued by William A.
Nelson notifying the depositors that he
would purchase ali passbooks up TO
100000
Last night bank officials issued a
statement that Burton's alleged pecu-
lations would not cripple the bank. as
1000 of the shortage was covered by
his surety bond.
"The bank" the statement continued,
"has a surplus Of s62,000, and all obi-
cations viii be met promptly when the
Bank Commissioner has finished his in
vestigation."
Burton was taken to the county Jail.
and up 70 an early hour this morning
had not been bailed. He is ft.y-five
years old, married, and has two chill
dren. He is prominent in church cir
cles, and besides serving twice as
Mayor has been in the State Senate.

GALLIPOLI COSTS
BRITISH $3.50
1850 Officers and Men Killed
Up to August 21-French
Loss Hidden.

London, Sept 16.-British casualties
at the Dardanelles up to August u
were $3.50. The number of killed in
that time was l7,60s.
These figures were included in the
grand total of British casualties pub
lished earlier in the week.
To-day's announcement says that the
number of officers killed was 1880 and
the number of men 16,478; wounded,
2.371 officers and 59,257 men; missing,
373 officers and S,02l men.
The first specific info. alton of the
price England is paying for her efforts
to win Constantinople is contained in
these figures. II has been now t, at
the fighting on the Gallipoli peninsula
was of the most deadly character, but
heretofore official statistics have been
lacking. To this total must be added
the losses sustained by tn" French,
which have not been revealed.
On Tuesday announcement was made
that the grand total of British casual
ties up to August 81 was 3sl,9s3. The
loss of 1880 at the Dardanelles shows
that the proportion of losses at the
Dardanelles to the casualties on all
fronts has been to 4.36.
Notwithstanding the intensity Of this
fighting, the proportion Of killed has
not been higher at the pardan- lies
than elsewhere. The ratio at the Oar
danelles has been nearly the same as
on all fronts, or approximately l
4l-3 in each instance. Before the
present war. with its scientific methods
of destruction, the proportion was
usually calculated at about to 10.

family of Jerome. 1t is a family which
for the last 800 years has played no

attorney of New York. He is the first

Admiral of the Fleet Jackie" Fisher is

responsible for the whole thing. Church

first remark on the situation was that he

German navy out of it's ports. Like

tunate phrase he used. The German
navy came out of its ports. but not ex-
actly like rats.

Baby killers!" shouted Churchill in
rage at the Germans who had outwitted
him. But the English government and
people were not satisfied with phrases.
They wanted deeds. Jackie" Fisher
was called to the helm and the deeds
began.
The German squadron in the South
Atlantic was destroyed by an English
fleet Another German squadron which
attempted to make a second attack on
the English coast was intercepted and
driven away. Fisher became the hero of
the English nation and Churchill be-
came an unnecessary burden in the ad-
miralty. What to do with Churchill be-
came the pressing question.
1t is table gossip in the London mill
tary and political clubs that Churchill
will soon be sent down to India to sue
coed Viceroy Lord Hardinge. whose term
expires very soon. Hints to this effect
have also appeared in the press OF Lon
don and particularly in those papers
which are supposed to be inspired by
the government.

he had run things automatically to tho
admiralty. he soon usurped all the au-
thority OF the sea lords. Prince louis
meekly permitted him to do this.
Churchill treated Prince Louis and the
other lords as mere subordinates. On
several occasions, to the disgust Of the
experienced and professional naval men.
he assumed the direction of naval ma
neuvers from on board ship. He acted
as If he were an admiral. although he
was entirely without professional train
ing Of any sort.
When Fisher was called to power,
Greek met Greek Fisher has a mastery
disposition. He will not permit the
slightest interference with any of his pre-
negatives or duties. When he was called
to the admiralty much against the
wishes of Churchill, everyone knew
that either Churchill or Fisher would go
into obscurity. The English people real
lied through the amount of work that
Kitchener had done how advantageous 1t
vas to have a professional man In a pro-
fessional position.
When Fisher. who had spent his life In
active service in the navy, was called to
assume control of 1t after the war had
broken out. the selection met with
hearty response from the people. He had
the entire nation behind his back. King
George, who dislikes Churchill very
much, because of the way in which he
had usurped all the authority in the
admiralty, was especially pleased at the
change.

about 10 O'Clock an alarm Of fire was
turned in from The Morrison County
Lumber yard. and the fire laddies i'm
dediately responded to the call. The
fire, which started in the engine room,
had gained considerable Roadway and
was burning in the sawdust between
the walls, and in places had reached
the ceiling. Some difficulty was ex-
perienced by the firemen in getting
control of the flames, as they were
hard to reach. But after an hour anil
half of hard work they succeeded in
overcoming the fire. The fire was cans
ed by a pot Of tar, which had been
placed upon the stove, and in some
way it caught fire during the absence
for few moments Of the workmen.
The extent of the damage reaches
about $50.
