Where the Banjo Came From.

The moG2rn banjo was introduced
into England from the United States,
to which country I was probably
taken by the African slaves. who
originally obtained the idea from In
dla. The unnusical name "bnnIo"
seems to have been derived from
''banya," the name of Scncgambian
instrument OF the guitar species.

The sum of $23,80O, part OF the
$4,000 cash obtained by Keith Col
Inns bogus army officer and his con-
federates in the $5,000,000 mail
train robbery was recovered here
today by postal inspectors. The
money, most OF 1t in bills OF small
denominations had been cached by
Collins prior to his fight. He re-
vealed it's hiding place in his confess
sion at Kansas City.
The inspectors admitted they were
satisfied Collins had destroyed all the
bonds and securities he obtained in
his share Of the loot. This amounted
to from $1,000,00 to $4,000, 900,
the inspectors said.
Ceilings gave $4,000 cash to one
confederate. it was stated and spent
the remaining $1,000 in his flight.
He had only $4 when captured in
Oklahoma.
Collins, termed master mind" In
the train robbery, was held in Jail
today in default Of $4,000 bail. He
was arraigned before, a commissioner

Three to Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars Were
Stolen by the Cashier

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 30
Frederic w. French, assistant
cashier of the City Trust and. Saw
ings bank, was to be arraigned today
on charges of embezzling between
100000 and $500, 900 of the banks
funds He Is said to have confessed
relations extending over period Of
ten years.
French's method, according to his
alleged confession, was simple.
Whenever a bank examiner would
place securities in an envelope and
seal it French would lift the seal and
replace the securities with blank
paper. The next examiner, seeing
the seals on the envelop would pass
them. An examiner wishing to
trace small mortgage trapped
French. He discovered the blank
paper in one envelope and opened
others. French was arrested.
French told bank officials that he
had dreams Of piling up a fortune
that would rival that Of Rockefeller
or, Morgan. He said most of his
deals went wrong and produced a
card index purporting to show what
had become of the money he is ac-
cused of taking. His speculations
amount to 100000 more than the
capital stock Of the bank. Directors
deposited $4,000 in order to pre-
vent run.

LONDON PREPARED
BUILDS DEFENSES
Captured Documents Re-
veal Danger of Up
risings at Home

LONDON.-London and other big
English cities are grimly preparing
to meet conditions of domestic war
fare.
Red lights glowing on the night
barricades in Whitehall lend a sin
lister aspect to the official heart of
the empire" menaced by the twin
dangers of Sim Fein outrages and
the possibility of Bolshevist disturb
ances.
General Norwood, in the command
of the London area, threw up the
defenses in Downing street and
around the house Of parliament and
other public buildings the result Of
seizure of important documents.
These documents had hardly been
read when the defense Of the minis
trial offices was proclaimed, as the
papers disclosed plans to attack the
ministry and wreck historic govern
ment edifices.
There is no reason to doubt that
the defenses have been erected pri-
marily as protection against Irish
gunmen, but they incidentally enable
the police to deal more efficiently
with the grave problems Of London's
huge army of unemployed.
The sanguinary fight at White
hall in October when desperate at
tempt to storm Lloyd Geoge's resi-
dence was beaten of by the mounted
police, would have been avoided IL
the entrance to Downing street had
been barred, with only the present
small carriage way in the center
flanked by smaller doorways on
either side for the use of pedestrians.
The present arrangement blocks
free access to the residences of Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Bonar Law,
as we'll as to the foreign office, the
Indian office, the board OF public
works, the education office, though
visitors with satisfactory credentials
are allowed to pass, the barriers be-
ing thrown down only in the event
of surprise attack.
Within the beleagured area direct
telephone communication has been
established with the police and the
military.
At the Irish office nearby, the door
is chained, barred and guarded by
five hall porters, all Of whom are
former soldiers. One Of them was In
Dublin Castle In the 1916 rebellion
and knows most of the prominent
men who survived It.

The happy event closed with q
rapid-fire speech making of more
than six hours following the banquet
at the Bannock. About twenty diff.
ferent speakers held the attention oi
the company from start to finish and
there was not an idle moment in six
hours Of speech making. About thir-
ty-five newspaper men were present
from territory ranging from Salt
Lake City to western Idaho and the
discussion stimulated healthy in
terest in many phases of the news
paper business and public questions.
Byrd Trego of Blackfoot acted as
t0astmaster, and the addresses Of the
speakers following in rapid success
sion, held the attention of the as
semblage until the last number was
completed at ten minutes after two
in the morning.
In later issue of the paper, a
review of the meeting will be pub
lished chiefly for the press of this
state who were not at the meeting.
Other readers of the paper who are
not engaged in the newspaper bus
ness but who are interested in the
study Of the business of studying it
as it affects the public, will find the
report rejecting the sentiment of
some of the most active men engaged
in the newspaper business in the in
country today.
Especial interest attached to the
that Trego would talk
on the achievements of the Mystery
Club for the past several years. It
practically stopped the stealing of
in Bingham county near
ly. a year ago and Salt Lake men have
heretofore made inquiries to try to
find out just how it was done. There
was a general impression that the
operations of the Mystery club bore
some resemblance to the operations
Of the Vigilantes of. the early days
as applied to horse thieves and who
ever was operating it regarded it of
such serious nature that they would
give out no information aside from
that given to the membership.

WASHINGTON, Dec. President
Wilson today informed President
Paul Hymans Of the Assembly of the
League of Nations now sitting at
Geneva that while he was without
authority to offer or employ military
forces OF the United States in the
project for the relief Of Armenia,

WHALERS RESCUE
THIRTEEN PEOPLE
lce-Bound, Starving Pas
sengers Are Saved in
Far North

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA
thrilling tale of the rescue of thir-
teen ice-bound starving passengers OF
a passenger steamer which had been
wrecked near Cape Prince Of Wales,
was told here on the arrival of the
whaler Herman, one of the feet op-
Grated by H. Liebes & Companyx fur
riers, from cruise into the Arctic
Sea.
The whaler was loaded down with
whale oil, furs, salt fish and whale
bone, cargo valued at 100000.
The rescue was effected after the
shipwrecked passengers had been
wandering over the ice for two weeks
without food. There were three
women in the party and they told of
how they had baked the last of their
provisions into small sized cakes, CIV
ing one to each passenger. When
found the passengers were nearly ex-
hausted. Captain G. T. Peterson,
skipper of the whaler, was recon-
mended for official commentator by
the authorities at Nome.
An attempt was made by the party
of the Herman to rescue the lone
survivor of the Stephenson expedi-
tion, who, If still alive, is at Banks
Land. Three men were brought out
from this place by the Herman on its
last cruise. The lone survivor is be-
lieved to have fortune in furs. Fifty
miles was the closest the party at
tempting the rescue could get to the
place where the survivor is believed
to be. On the way north the Herman
took supplies to the Presbyterian
Hospital at Point Barrows.
In the whaling expedition there
was but one mishap and that was
when a giant bowhead, harpooned by
members Of boat in the command Of
Theodore Peterson, son of the cap
tain, and a veteran Of five cruises
into the frozen north, showed fight.
The boat was upset and the men res
cued only after their lives were en-
dangered
The Esquimaux have been inde-
pendent, owing to the increase in the
value of furs, according to George
Goheen, company representative, who
made the trip. He says they are wal
lowing in filth, refusing to hunt for
furs, employing the less Independent
members of the tribe to do the work
for them. The natives generally, says
Goheen, are in poor condition phys
ically.

It was announced Tuesday afternoon
by G. 8. Elmer. During the month Of

Never before, says the commits

Startling, too, are some Of the loans
asked for. One applicant wished to

Tuesday afternoon about half past
five, William Train, fourteen, was

declined to give them the informa-

out only by the organizers and the
active membership. That their opera

stealing Of packages from the ve-

Mystery Club Drilling Again
With winter coming on, with hard
times threatening and the income of
a good many people shut off, it is
expected that stealing packages from
on the streets, may be re-

tening their organization and getting
it in shape to handle the offenders
IL the practice is resumed with the
coming of the winter season. The
supposition is that some light finger
who do not know just what
happened to some Of their kind in
previous winters may try that kind
Of performances again.
Not Protecting Merchants
Requests have been made that the
Mystery club undertake to stop the
stealing of goods in the stores but
