tiers was dressed in excellent tatse.
His appearance and the turning over of
the certificate soon earned for him the
sobriquet of the millionaire Office
boy
While the actual charge against him
is larceny by means of forging and ut
tering the check for 81 500, it is said
BY the police that between $4,000 and
81 900 was secured by the young man
by means of the bad checks. 1t was
not indicated whether any further
charges would be put against him.

forged checks by tracing signatures of
members of the firm and then to have
made them doubly secure by stamping
them with the official stamp the com.
pany uses to protect their checks. The
$500 check was drawn on the First
National bank and was uttered on F

POMEROY DEMANDS PARDON.
Declines Removal from Solitary Con.
fnement as Insufficient.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.-Nathan d. Allen.
warden of the state prison at Charles
town, yesterday notified Jesse Pomeroy
that he had received the official mott
fcation of his release from solitary
confinement, to which he has been sub
jected for more than 40 years.
Pomeroy was apparently displeased
with the action of the executive coun-
ell, as he informed Warden Allen firm
~ that he would not accept the change
Of sentence granted him. He said he
was satisfied with his present cell.
When Warden Allen left him, Pom
eroy continued writing a letter he had
started to Gov. Mccall, in which he is
believed to have stated what he has
already told Warden Allen, that he
wants a pardon, in that he has already
served more than 40 years of his lif,
| in solitary confinement, which he be
| lieves is sufficient punishment for tn,
crimes for which he was committed.

Mr.. Hughes is Not Sorry.
providence Journal. }

Charles Evans Hughes, speaking at
dinner given in his honor by the bar
of New York city, said he did not regret
that he had resigned from the supreme
court, because he believed it was his
duty to do SO.
IF man viii do what he thinks he
ought to do added Mr.. Hughes,
whether he makes a mistake or hits
it right, he will have the generous sup
port of the people and strong backing
from all thoughtful citizens, and he does
not need to manipulate politics IN order
to succeed.
Regarding the last clause of these
noteworthy remarks by the Republican
standard bearer the thought cannot
be escaped that Mr.. Hughes would moi
now need to dwell on the topic of re
grets if there had been just a little more
intelligent manipulation of politics
in the state of California last autumn.

NO NOTE FROM DOM PEDRO.
Frederic Harrison's Hoax Causes
Fruitless Search of Archives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-In spite Of
the obvious character of the alleged note
from Dom Pedro, Emperor Of Brazil, to
President Lincoln, put forth by Frederic
Harrison in The London Morning Post
as showing that Dom Pedro tried to stop
the Civil war in America by such argu
ments as President Wilson used in his
lspeech to the senate last Monday, library
assistants and employees of other branches
lof the state department laboriously went
through the process of delving into musty
tones to show that the pretended note
was a hoax. 1t is perhaps hardly neces-
sary to say that the search made at the
state department failed to disclose that any
such document was in existence, published
or unpublished.

100000 Bond Issue.
Rutland News.)

Ex-senator Max L. Powell of Burling-
ton is in favor of issuing $2,0OO,OO0
bonds for the development of highways
in Vermont Let it be said that there
seems to be an increasing disposition
among the people of Vermont to favor
a bond issue. Probably if our highway
department is put upon strictly bust
ness basis so that the people may he
absolutely sure that the highway mon
ey will go where it is most needed, and
not go by favor, the bond issue of the
amount named would be voted. Under
the present arrangement it is doubtful
+, if it will be voted.

as to the Wood case. DIR. Wood was
promoted by Mckinley, not by Roose-
Welt In the early part of 1901, after
McKinley's election TO his second
term, but before his second Inaugural
tion, in recognition of DR.. Wood s ser
vices in cleaning up Havana, which
had been a yellow fever plague spot,
Wood was jumped from captain to
brigadier general. The only appoint
ment he received from Roosevelt was
when Roosevelt promoted him to major
general. Wood was then senior briga-
der general and was entitled by his
seniority to the vacancy to which he
was elevated. Roosevelt merely car
ried out the routine in that promo
tion.
: The cases of Pershing and Mills have
also been cited as presidents. These
officers were promoted from captain
to brigadier general by Roosevelt, but
not for personal attendance as the pres
| ident S health officer.
Albert Mills was at the battle OF
Santiago and was shot through tbs
head, his right eve being totally blind
ed and the left nearly obscured. He re
fused to be taken to the rear anC
| SldNtu uuIlHS the entire piOSitso VI th'
battle, and for this conspicuous bravery
in the field, received his promotion.
Captain Pershing earned his promo
tion by distinguished personal gal
lantry in the Philippines. He conduct
ed the memorial campaign against tn
Moros and received two medals from
congress for personal gallantry. II
was promoted before he became the son
in-law of Senator Warren of Wyoming
who was chairman of the senate con
mittee of military affairs.

DR.. Marks Weisen twenty-five years old,

Although the weather man expects the
temperature to reach 100 today, he asserts
that the humidity is considerably lower At
o'clock this morning the percentage OF
moisture in the air was 6t against 81 for
the same hour yesterday. The normal for
this time of year is 10. To the fact that the
humidity is below normal is due the COM
paratively few number of prostrations.
No hope of immediate relief from the
sweltering heat is held out by the local bu-
reau Tomorrow is expected to be hot, with
a likelihood of increased humidity. No
showers are in sight. although local storm
is not held improbable.
The temperature in Philadelphia has
not touched the hundred mark since July 3,
1901, on which day all high temperature
records in the forty-sx years history Of
the local bureau were broken with the mer-
curry at 103. The hottest day since then
occurred on July 3, 1911. exactly a decade
later when mark Of 80 was reached.

he has not the proper qualifications for a

A great hunt started throughout the
country today for draft evaders. Warned
by Attorney General Gregory that thou
sands of men failed to register June and
have been hiding ever since" the United
States attorneys in all districts enlisted
civilian help and started after the slackers.
When caught these men will go either to
prison to war.
The names of hundreds of young men
who thought themselves securely hidden
from the war boards have been forwarded
to local authorities from the Department OF
Justice.
Secret agents of the Department of JUS
tice were far more watchful Immediately
after registration day than the draft
evaders suspected. Hundreds of names
were quietly passed to Government agents
by neighbors and acquaintances. Among
the informants were many mothers whose
sons registered for the draft and who
couldn't bear to see other boys in the neigh
borhood slip through Uncle Sans net
The slackers caught will be jammed right
up at the top of the lists for examination
whenever possible. This will be done by
assigning them the numbers of men early
on the lists who were discharged for physi-
cal or other disability.
Volunteer workers have been enlisted to
compare registration lists with county tax
and voting lists, from which delinquent lists
will be made.
Although nothing official was obtainable
on the point, II was indicated that a large
percentage of the slackers will be fond
in some of the west-coast States.

SAVING BABIES HER PART

'war is about to kill our young men,
hence we must not let the summer sun XIII

nkhting the war. Now that the heat. al
most as deadly an enemy to babies as shells
and bullets and bayonets are to men, is
upon us the moment has come for women
Of America to take up arms" against it.
Miss Lathrop's bureau is doing its bit in
this. Out through the South and West to-
day her army of trained women is moving

men has brought England and France to
keen realization that they must fight the
battle for their babies" continued Miss
Lathrop.
