tt appear from eloae examination of
the booh- and record of tho bank tbat
Chamberlain had been unlawfully manipu
lating tha bank's fund for aome time, poa
slbly tw months. It has been found tbat
Chamberlain not only took a large block
;of eeeurtties, but aereral thousand dollars
of cash and eight exchange aa well, the
exact amount of which, however, has not
been determined. Chamberlain waa an ex
pert bookkeeper. Numerous cases have
been found where be took three notes for
single loan. All of these notes be nego
tiated with different institutions. Borne of
tha money received from the sal of these
duplicate notaa h would turn Into tha
bank, crediting one account and debiting
another In a manner which completely baf
fled tba bank examiner and others who
inspected the books and records prior to
the failure.
The patrons of the Chamberlain banking
house bad Implicit confidence in the cashier.
-This is shown in his inducing them to sign
duplioate notea. He told the customer that
he wished the aecond or duplicate note to
keep In th bank, ths original baring been
negotiated. He aald thla waa necessary to
meet the rigid requlrementa of ths bank
examiners. Ths unsuspecting patrons signed
the dupllcatea, which were afterwarda sold
to other banka. None Pf ths borrowers ques
tioned th motives of the caabler, nor did
they notice tbat the aecond or third notea
they signed were : jnafle , out In original
form, with nothing Vpon them to snow
Jiat they were duplicates.
t Swindles a Tra.tln Farmer.
l.Several month ago Charlea White, a
farmer residing lx mile from Tecumseh,
was summoned to the- offlce of Cashier
Chamberlain. Mr, WMis waa a borrower
of the bank.. ' "
"Aa gn accommodation 1 Fish you to give
me a; mortgage to secure your loan," said
Chamberlain t$ the farmer. "I don't de
mand thl a aurety for myself. It I im
ply because I wish to negotiate tha not
and it will b easier to do that with the
mortgage than without It."
Chamberlain had the 'mortgage prepared
and It waa duly signea ny wnue. Tu Swii
waa for $1.(00 and tha mortgage waa tor
th full amount. Th property listed waa
cattle, supposed by Whit to be th prop
erty of Chamberlain. In looking over th
steels th mortgage was found and upon
Investigation It waa learned tbat ths cat
tls Hated therein was th property of Fred
Halatead and bad been since sevoral montha
before the mortgage waa algned. Whit aa
serts that th brand of th cattle was in
aerted by Chamberlain without hie know!

Chamberlain kept a discount register in

known now that he frequently negotiated
notes without recording them or making
any record whatever of the tranaactlon.
The notes Chamberlain took with blra
when be left the bank laat week were re

MILWAUKEE, Wls.,J Sept. 4. The Wis
consin democratic state convention con
cluded It labors at a late hour tbl after
noon. Above Is the complete list of, nomi
nations. A. F. Warden of . Waukesha waa unani
mously chosen to succeed himself aa chair
man of the state central committee,
The convention . smashed many of th
slate which had been prepared early In the
day and atlll later In a conference held at
noon. One of the sensation of th day was
an attempt to Induce John W. Watuwa, th
nomine for lieutenant governor, to with
draw from th ticket because ot certain
rumor consenting him. Mr. Wattawa re
fused absolutely to entertain tbe proposi
tion and the conferee. bad to aet about to
fix up a slat for th balance of the ticket
which to their mind would, be a winner. In
thla they wer far from being successful,
for with but two exception mor than on
name went before th convention. ,
Th biggest surprise of tb day, and a
sensation at that, waa th turning down
of a resolution Just before tb convention
adjourned endorsing the national platform.
While, th delegates gave a respectful hear
ing to It reading it waa not entertained tor
an Instant. Juat before final adjournment
Delegate W. H. Roger of Madison offered
the resolution : ' '
We. the democrats of Wisconsin In con
vention assembled, reaffirm our allcplanoe
to the democratic tiartv and it Dollcy as
enunciated In its national platform.
Scarcely had Mr. Rogers finished reading
the resolution when another delegate arose
to a point fit order and stated that early to
the convention,. It ,waa decided to refer all
resolutions to a committa on resolution.
Still another delegate made a motion to ad-
ourn. This waa put and adopted with al
most a unanimous vote, there being not
over two or three feeble protest. Tb reso
lution therefor ', waa completely Ignored.
The convention then, at 6; 20, adjourned sine
die.

Minister Wu called In person at" the
State denartment early today to liaulri
At Acting Secretary, Ade whether a,y-ill
cpnsequenoes had followed yesterdays ao-
cldeatt-andV also to extend hie ongnjtul-
tlons to the president, v
Mr. B. F. Barnea, assistant secrets y td
the president, arrived In Washington tpdsy.
Mr: Barnes wa with tb presidential party
at Plttafleld yesterday, being tn the aicond
carriage behind that occupied by the presi
dent, Mr. Cortelyou and Governor Craji at
the time of tbe accident. '.
" Driver Partly to Blame.
Although Mr. .Barnes disclaims bavin r ani
special, knowledge a to, the circumstance
of tb accident not shared br many ovjiera.
yst from what he saw and heard jon tho spot
he think the responsibility for the act-ldenl.
lie between the driver of the president?
carriage and the motorman, with thl.
greater burden on the. latter.
Tbe trolley road at that oolnt. Mr. Barnea
aaya, I atraight for aome distance, aad tbe
motorman must have aeen and recoinlted.
tha president' carriage with its four whit
horses some time before tb crossing wa
reached, but Instead of stopping, or materi
ally reducing speed, he came on at a rat
tbat made It ' Impossible for him to stop
when he saw that a collision was imminent.
The driver ot the president's carriage, od.
the other hand, could hardly have had .
clear view of the track at. the point 'ot
crossing, as the outrldera on either sidi
must hav obstructed It to some extent al
least. . Among the people who gathered al
th scene of the disaster It was suggests,
that the driver of tb president' carriage
may hav taken greater chancei In .crossing-
the track than he usually would have takes.
He undoubtedly1 felt his Importance as thii
driver of th prealdent' landau, and wa
reported to have refuaed $1,000 to allow an
other man to take hla place for the day. .'
Mr. Barnea left th presidential party las'.
night at Bridgeport, Conn., and will Join V.
here again tomorrow .evening at 7:80 o'clocl;
for the trip to Chattanooga.

It a vet ran newspaper man accustomed to
making cloae Investigation of Incident. H
say in his judgment the car was going
about-twenty miles an hour.. He said
ther wer no shriek or yell at the mo
ment of, h collision, a a matter of fact
the allelic was appalling. Secretary Smith
eaya.be talked wlfh Motorman Madden di
rectly after, tha accident and th latter
stated that the car waa going about eight

thaA th carriage of th preeldent was
going to cross at the place It did.

president' carriage had been going, ter
minated. A greensward at this further
point came flush with the street car
tracts. The railway continued on straight
up Edward hill. 'Driver Pratt's object was,
of 'course,' to oroes the tracks and strike
the tearrlage road on the other side. -According
to him the carriage . could have

feet." "I am ef tba opinion that had It

-'The motormaai -.1 think, must - hav
