TITE OMATTA DAILY REE: WEDNESDAY. MAY 3. 1003. - 1 WEIB WORKS ON OLD CASE Local Federal Officer Dii Into Tamoui Manhattan Bank Bobbery. FINDS NEPHEW OF MAN ARRESTED Relieves Odar Rapids Rnaprrt Inno centtrim Pcrprlratra Thlrlr Years AaoSllll Holds bs Irls. Captain John tVcbb has Just returned from Cedar Rapids, la., where he has for several days been Investigating the matter of a 10,OuO gold 4 rxr tent bond that was stolen from the Manhattan National bank Of New York over thirty years ago. The participation of the Cedar Rapids party In the affair grows out of the fact that Samuol Wlnlleld Miller of that city Is the uncle of tr. L. Arvlllo Wllcoxson of New Tork. who whs arrested In New York, February 9, J!Xio, at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, while attempting to dispose of ths $10,000 bond or to raise money on It. This was the first of these bonds to ap pear since the robbery of thirty years ago, at which time the Manhattan National bank was broken Into and robbed of $3,000, 000, largely of bonds of this denomination. The robbery was the most famous In the history of bank robberies In the United States and still ranks as the greatest of them. The recovery of this 10,000 bond from Da Wllcoxson, In February last is the first of the bonds to be recovered. Dr.' Wlleoaaon'a Story. Dr. Wllcoxson accounted for his posses sion of the oond In that he had bought It from a-miner In the' Klondike country, named Bam Warren Miller. He had not undertaken to dispose of it liitberto be cause of Jts large amount and that he was awaiting the arrival of Miller In New York In ordsr, (hat Miller endorse the bond, or rather "certify to his endorsement made at Dawson City some time before. The alleged (Killer put in an appearance In New York In February and proceedings for the negotiations of the . bond begun. The al leged' Miller confirmed the sale of the bond to Wllcoxson and the money was realized from .ft. The bond was subsequently Identified as 'one of those stolen from the Manhattan bank and WUcoxson's arrest promptly followed. - Miller had disappeared in the ttwantlnje" -.However, Immediately following WUcoxson's arrest he telegraphed to his uncle, Sam Wlnlleld Miller, at Cedar Rapids, to send him 11,000 Instanter, as he was in serious trouble. The telegram was Intercepted by the United States authorities, and, they believing that Sam Warren Miller and Sam Wlnlleld Miller were the same person, had the latter indicted by the fed eral grand, jury In New York, Jointly with Wllcoxson. ' 4 Miller Thought to Be Innocent. The Cedar Rapids Miller claims to be entirely ignorant of the transaction or any possible or probable participation In the bond deal. -However, he admits that Dr. Wllcoxson Is his nephew and that he had received the telegram from him asking for the $1,000 to help him out of his scrape. Dr. Wilooxson Is but 81 years of age. He bekrs the reputation of being a high liver In New York. It was conclusively shown t tho hearing .before the . federal grand Jury in New York, that the name of 8am W. Millor had been forged to the bond anl at the' same time that Sam Wlnlleld Miller of Cedar Rapids, answered the description of tho man, who passed himself off as Sam W. Miller at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel In February. The Cedar Rapids, Sam Wlnfleld Miller, was taken to New York and his preliminary hearing Is set for today In that city. Mr, Miller's, Cedar Rupids- friends are standing by him loyally and emphatically deny that ha Is in any way Implicated In the matter except through his relationship to Wllcox son. Captain Webb la also of the opinion that Sam Wlnfleld Miller Is an entirely Innocent party In the transaction. Captain Webb la of the further - opinion that Dr. Wllcoxson has been employed as a willing tool by the li. heritors of the profits of the Manhattan bank robbery to negotiate the $10,000 gold bonds, and that they have now dropped completely out of sight, and that the Cedar Rapids , Miller is simply the .Victim of WUcoxson's perfidy.

J. L. BRANDEIS & SONS, BOSTON STORE CURRENT LITERATURE. Mrs. Gabrlelle E. Jackson, in Mother, and Daughter, recently published by the Har pers, protests against some of the old cus toms that we have grown to think indis pensable factors in the bringing up of Chil dren, but of whose absurdity hardly a serious second thought is needed to con vince us. One thing against which ob jection is entered Is the telling of "Mother Ooose" stories to children. In chapter III; devoted to the "story-hour custom," she says: "Don't tell the terrifying, gory tales in Mother Goose, where giants do im possible things, and utterly Idiotic rhymes In atrocious English tell how the 'farmer's wife cut off their talis with a carving knife, or 'Moo Mulley Cow, why do you low?' (marvelous rhyming, forsooth!) or 'Has the butcher taken your baby? If Mother Goose' must be read to ohlldren forever and a day, let us, for pity's sake, draw the line at some of the rubbish, and stick to 'Old King Cole was a merry I old soul!' or one of the others with a happy ending. I have known more than one sensitive child to grieve bitterly be cause the dear- little 'mouses' lost their tails, or the 'poor dog' had to go hungry because 'the cupboard was bare.' " Sir Oliver Lodge, In an address to, teach- I ers at Birmingham university described arithmetic as being one of the most absurd of the complexities of pretended commerce. The terms of arithmetic were the worst things ever concocted by a nation emerg ing from semibarbarism. They were,' he said, neither arithmetic, mathematics,' nor common sense. Mastering them - was merely wasting a child's time. Thla is very true of the old style arith metics and of most of our modern books. A series which has recently been pub lished by. Glnn & Co., .however. Is noteworthy as being the first to make the subject vital and genuine. These books (Smith's Arithmetics) are thoroughly modern In treatment and at the same time they conserve all that made the older works useful. In' response to the very wide and long continued demand for "My Mamie Hose-, The Story of My Regeneration," by Owen Klldare, the Baker & Taylor Co. has Is sued an edition In cloth which sells at 1.(I0. The sheets and Illustrations of fhe new edition remain practically unchanged. The sale of this book has been extraordi nary for these days of rupld growth and early death, of even the most popular books. Kight editions have been Issued already, and the sale of the book is still almost as active as at any period in the year and a half of Its publication. The demand for the book to class It with works of action, and It is to take ad vantage of this widespread demand that the publishers have brought out this cheaper edition. Among the articles of special reminis cence about Joseph Jefferson, one of the most readable Is that by tho Outlook's "Spectator," printed, with several new pic tures. In the May magastne number of the Outlook. The Pilgrim for May contains, as a spe cial feature, a double page i of portraits of ."Living American Composers," the men and women who are breathing the Ameri can spirit into- music and creating a dis tinct American school of composition. Such a portrait feature as The Pilgrim tar May affords has never been published by any magaxlne, and. the. seemingly endless work of collecting the 175 portraits of living American composers has at last resulted In a group picture that, we venture, the assertion, will be preserved In every home the inagaslne enters. J" . .' 1 fillas' A. Umrliiga, New Jersey en thusiast who hunts birds with the camera, fitted up one summer a' bird box with a microphone, from which a Una ran to a telephone receiver la )b house. With this arrangement Mr. Lottrldge heard much of a bluebird family's chat for several weeks. He has written of his observations of these little neighbors and their bluebird ac quaintances for the May St. Nicholas. Alan Dale's humorous novel, "Wanted: A Cook." which has been an well In America since its issue last November by the Bobbs-Merrlll eomrmnv Tnriinna ro lls, has Just been brought out in England oy tne Putnams. , where It has alrnaslv been extensively and exhaustively praised by the leading' llterarv critics nf mh authorities as The Academy, the Edln- Durgn Scotsman, the London Leader and many others, who aaree that thl is the smartest thing in current literature.
