Building, Corner WOMAN ALLEGED EMBEZZLER Playinfr Card Company Causes Arrest of Former Coifidsn ial Employs. t SAID TO HAVE DABBLED IN STOCKS Hssbaad Expected to Make Good Pre lonaly Discovered Shortage Failed to Respond and Greater Loss Is Discovered. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Marie Layton John ! aon, aged 29, the wife of Albert M. John 4 son, a dentist of Larchmont, N. Y., with an office In this city,' waa arresUd tonlgnt 'on a warrant specifically charging her with 4 the grand larceny Of $2,0GO. The total 'amount of her defalcation, however, may, Jit Is said, amount to $60,000. The com 1 plalnants are officers of the United States i Playing Card company of Cincinnati and ) New York. ! Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden name was " 'Marie Layton, was bookkeeper In the New York office of the company, and In ad dition acted as private secretary to R. M. McCutcheon, secretary and treasurer and manager of the New York branch. , She was married to Dr. Johnson In 1901, ; but did not leave her position after the ' marriage. v In April of this year discrepancies are said to have been discovered In her ac counts according to the statement given out by Inspector McClusky, and an ex amination Is said to have revealed a short ' age of $10,000 between January 1 and April 1 16 In the accounts of the New York office. ' How She Operated. , The woman's modus operandi Is said to have been as fellows: The accounts of the , concern were kopt In the Hanover National bank, there being a New York and Cin cinnati account there. Cincinnati would send a bill of goods to New York, which would be, sold for 13,000, and that amount would be placed to the credit of the Cin cinnati account. But It la alleged Mrs. Johnson would charge the New York office ' account with $,000, taking the difference herself. To make the accounts balance she would then raise a small bill of goods Hipped from Cincinnati from say $9 to toot. Mrs. Johnson was discharged from the employ of the company In April when In spector McClusky says she admitted de falcations of $10,600. it waa thought at that time that her husband, Dr. Johnson, who has a large practice, would make up the loss, but this was not done. Further In vestigations were made into both the New York and Cincinnati account with the re suit. It is said, that the defalcations now amount to $33,000, with a possibility that they may reach fc,000. Mra. Johnson Is a tall, slim, pretty ' woman, with fair complexion and brown hair. It Is said that she speculated In . Wall street and lost considerable money there.. GETS IN AND 0UJWITH A ROPE , Roaraa Eaters Store and Departs vrlti Money Through tho ' Skylight. r A burglar or burglars of crafty art en .tered the store of C. E. Black. 107 South .' Sixteenth street, some time Thursday night ,uid secured tS, which Mr. Black had been very careful to hide In a box ot half hose, lie had selected a box at random from among the boxes on the shelf and had dropped In the money, which was In small change for use In the cash register the , next day. Just as a bait for any possible visitor oX thievish propensities Mr. Black had left $3 In the cash register and had left the drawer open and projecting about . eight Inches. . "If a thief cornea along he will grab this," mused Mr. Black, "and never sur mise what Is In that pile of box." But the thief was cunning. He raised ' a pans of glass out of the skylight and let himself down a distance of about ten feet Into the store by a strand of heavy rope. He found the pile of hose where Mr. Black . had hid his money, and after pulling out a few boxes hit the right one. With money In hand he departed as he came, by means S GREETING!

Carnival season having . opened, the crowds of rural and other visitors have begun on their annual pilgrimage to the city of the Great King and tho time of the street car men's unique experiences is . One of the conductors on the Farnam street line tells his first experience of the season: 'Our car was making an early morning trip and as we halted at the Union station on our way up town a large crowd of country people got on. Seems they had elected one of their number, a lull, lank fellow, to do the talking. " 'Take us up to the grounds,' he com manded of me. " 'All right,' I replied, 'but I'm afraid you won't find the gatekeeper there." " 'Not thorel Why soT' quickly a?k?d the spokesman as he peered Inquiringly out Into the half-darkness. " 'Well, It's a little early for him; I'm afraid you will have to stand outside for a while.' " 'Ain't no matter. We can do that.' "So when I reached Seventeenth and Farnam streets I told them where to find the carnival grounds and when I came back on my return I saw the crowd still faithfully waiting In the rain at the large entrance for the 'gatekeeper' to appear." POLICE WARN TE PUBLIC Prompted by Two Thefts to Caatlon People About Leaving Val uables Exposed.

These thefts suggest to the chief of police that the public should exercise every care lit putting valuables In a place of safety when called upon to leave premises tempo rarily. It Is the Intention of the police authorities to give every possible protection to the public against the raids of sneak thieves, but they cannot put a guard over the carelessness of people.

RICAN OFFICIALS LOSE PRIVILEGE A of postal Franks Cans Their Withdrawal Committee on Alaska "Will Make a Yolamlaons Report to Congress, WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-MaJor General Corbln, adjutant general of the army. Is 1o be assigned to the command of the De partment ot the East, with headqusrtrs at Governor's Island, N. Y. In explanation of the transfer of these two officers General Young, chief of staff, today Issued the following statement: With a view to enable Major General Chaffee to become familiar with the duties vested by law In chief of staff and to sscertaln the present condition of the mili tary establishment, before entering upon their active performance, the president has directed thst he be ordered to duty In the War department as assistant to the chief of staff, and that Major General Corbln be assigned to command the Department of the East. This assignment, which Is In accordance with the wishes of General Corbln, Is Intended as n. recognition of the eminent services rendered by him In the Important office of adjutant general during the war with Spain and the subsequent operations In China and the Philippines, snd Is made with a view to obtaining the benefit of his great administrative snd executive ability In the command of the lsrgest and most Important military de partment In the United States. Advantage will be tuken of the assignment to secure the close, harmonious nnd Intelligent co operation of officers and troops In carrying Into effect the new methods of administra tion which have b"n mad necessary by the establishment of a general staff. Franking Privilege Withdrawn. Postmaster General Payne and Secretary Wilson were In conference with the presi dent today. As there were only two cab inet members In the city, they said It could not be dignified by the name of a cabinet meeting. As tho result of an opinion rendered by the Department of Justice, It was decided that the franking privilege heretofore ex tended to the government officials of the Island of Porto Rico no longer could be allowed. The opinion of the attorney general for the Postofflce departnvfnt Is to the effect that the territorial and local offices of that territory are not entitled to the free use of the malls, because they are not officials of the United States. The agitation of the question Is due to the personal Investlga tlon made of affairs in Porto Rico by Post master General Payne when he was In that Island last spring. He found that the postal receipts were only about 40 per cent of tho postal revenues, and Investigation developed the faot that the malls were unduly burdened by the large quantities of free matter which they were required to carry. Even the most Insignificant Offl clals were found to be exercising the franking privilege and many of them for the transmission of private letters and private property. It Is said that one-third of the weight of the matter carried In the malls was sent free of all expense to the writer. Conditions In Alaskn. Senator Dillingham of Vermont, chair man of the subcommittee of the senate committee on territories, which, on reeom mendatlon of the president, made a thor ough Investigation of Alaskan affairs dur Ing the last summer, bad a half hour'i conference with President Roosevelt today, Besides Senator Dillingham, the members of the subcommittee, with Senators Burn- ham of New Hampshire, Nelson of Min nesota and Patterson of Colorado. The committee spent several weeks In Alasku, studying tho situation with .a view to sug gesting legislation for the advancement of the Interests of the territory. Senator Dillingham indicated to the president that the problem is a great one. Alaska contains almost as much territory Is Included In that part of the United States east of the Mississippi, river. The subcommittee considered the whole Alaskan situation carefully and gathered a vast amount of Information which will be Incorporated In a report to be submitted to the senate soon after congress shall convene. It Is expected that her report of the committee will form the basis of some Important legislation In the Interest of the Alaskan territory. Punishment for Officers. The president has acted upon the cases of First Lieutenants Louis M. Hamilton. Fourteenth Infantry, and Hamilton Foley, Fifth cavalry, and Becond Lieutenants Thomas E. Murtaugh, coast artillery, and Shelby L. Rucker, Philippine scouts, tried by court-martial and sentenced to dis missal from the army. He approved the sentence in the cases of Foley, Murtaugh and Rucker. A further sentence of Im prisonment Imposed on Lieutenant Foley, In addition to his dismissal, was disap proved. The sentence of Lieutenant Ham ilton was commuted to a reduction in rank of 116 numbers, which places him at the foot of the list of first lieutenants, and he Is required to make a publlo apology for certain remarks made In the presence of a lady which gave offense and on which his trial was based. Congress Must Meet. A good deal of pressure has been brought to bear on the president to Induce him not ,to call congress Into extraordinary session In November, but to all callers who nave spoken to him In that vein he has said that this government Is committed to the proposition that the Cuban reciprocity treaty be made effective at the earliest possible date, and he regards it as a mat ter of good faith that this country should keep Its word. He has declined, there. fore, to consider any proposition looking to the abandonment of the Idea of an ex traordinary session. Commend Act of Bailors. On the recommendation of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling has written commendatory letters to Assistant Surgeon R. H.

SMALL AMOUNT FOR HEIRS Hcitr for Relations of Minnesota Hermit Supposed to Reside la Omaha. Chief Donahue has received a query from Fergus Falls, Minn., regarding the where abouts of the nieces and nephews of one F. W. Tromble, who died there a few days ago. Tromble lived alone In an old shack, badly dilapidated. He was supposed to have been a miser and after his death hi house waa searched and yi.UtA In cash found In nooks and corners and any likely place to hide a tew coii.s. la a Utile memorandum book concealed In under the old man's bed two $10 bills were found. The report of the death of the man sent to the chief states he was over years old and that his relatives lived In this city. No persons bearing the name of Tromble have been located by the polite. MEET V1SS0NI1AL0R AT HOME (Continued from First Page.) was dropped. I thought so little or the matter at the time, and since that I don't believe I even mentioned It to my son or wife. Within rlxty days the money was obtslned snd the obligation met, and there was no question as to the securities. Mr. N. P. Dodge, whom no one will accuse of being of the machine wing of the party, met me on the street and told me he wns surprised that a question should be brought up over these securities that they are gllt edged. The published references to this matter are absolutely Inexcusable." Mr. Rosewater summarized the charges which have been made of careless and questionable management of the county judge's office during the Vlnsonhaler In cumbency, ns to the absence of reports or Information showing the amounts of money held In trust Snd the failure to mske ac countings for unclaimed witness fees. Judgo Vlnsonhaler' reluctance to place Informa tion In the hands of The Pee when an In vestigation of the office was In progress could not help but excite suspicion, said the speaker, and he declared he considered It a mistake to put such a man upon the ticket. Vlnsonhaler in Defense. Judge Vlnsonhaler was then called upon and said he disliked the personal trend the campaign against him had taken, but that he had nothing to hide or conceal and was asking for a third term on the strength ol his record of four years In the county judge's office. He said that he felt a cam paign of Insinuations, not charges, was being made against him, and that he was willing to faco all charges, confident that he could disprove them. He accounted for his failure to furnish Information to The Bee on the grbund that he did not think The Bee would deal fairly with him. Con cerning the Cooley Incident Judge Vlnson haler said the request waa not for a con tinuance, but did not say what It was. All trust funds placed In his hands were still there, he declared, ready for delivery at the proper time. Whenever they are capable of drawing Interest, he said, he has ar ranged for the same at the highest rate he could obtain, the Interest to go to th owner of the money. He had made no profit from the office, nor wanted any aside from the salary. Unclaimed witness fees to the extent of $138 had been received by the judge from his predecessor. Judge Baxter, he said and since that time fees to the amount of $12$, unclaimed, have accrued. Postal cards are sent out twice a year to the persona to whom this money la due. Pronoses to Make a Showing. ' Judge Vlnsonhaler announced that lists are being prepared showing the moneys received In trust for estates and for con demnation appraisements In litigation, al though it will take -considerable time to get It ready. The fact that bills and salaries In the county judge's office are paid out of the receipts upon order of the county commissioner, prevented quarterly payments to the county treasurer, he said, as frequently he fees of one quarter did not cover the expenses, whereas those of other quarters made up the deficiency. He denied having profited from the sale of marriage certificates In his office. He had discouraged the practice at first, he said, but after six months or a year per mitted It, and any profit made was gained by the clerk handling the certificates, the judge declared. . . . , When Judge Vlnsonhaler had flnlhed Mr. Rosewater took occasion to deny the truth of a report quoted by Judge Vlnsonhaler that he had sent an emissary to the judge's old home at Marysvllle, Mo., to look up his record there. Judge Vlnsonhaler ad mitted that he had merely heard the story and could not vouch for Its truthfulness 1 Gorier Tries His Haad. W. F. Gurley attempted to Impugn the good faith of The Bee by contorted state merits from The Weekly Bee, which, he said, had printed a ticket called "the har mony ticket," with the Intention of making voters throughout the county believe It had the endorsement of the harmony meet- ng. Mr. Rosewater explained that full perusal of the article would show that no attempt to deceive had been planned or carried Into effect and that the ticket had been presented solely as a combination that In his opinion best represented all classes of the republican party and stood for the much desired "harmony."

APPARENT 0ESTACLES ARE REMOVED Proposals Hate Iteen Considered and While Details Cannot Be Made Pabllc at This Time, Condi, tlons are Pressing. ST. LOUIS, Oct 2. The committees on co-operation and union of the Presbyterian church and the Cumberland Presbyterian church, which have been In session here foar days, two days of which were occu pied In Joint session, adjourned today and Issued the following statement: While no final agreements were reached at this meeting, encouraging progress was made toward outlining a proposal of a basis of union to be submitted to the two general ssseinblles. Tentative proposals of R basis of union, made by the Presbyterian committee, were responded to with llko proposals from the Cumberland Presbyterian committee. Pend ing the consideration of a second paper from the Presbyterian committee, the Cum berland Presbyterian committee agreed with the Presbyterian committee to submit the whole matter to n subcommittee of six. three from ench of the general com mittees, said subcommittee to formulste a concurrent report to be finally considered by a later Jotnt meeting of the two com mittees 'In St. Louis. , In all the association and negotiations of the two committees, both severally and Jointly, there was absolute cordiality and fraternity, and there wero no negative votes upon any question finally acted upon by either committee or In the Joint com mittee conference. Differences Are Removed. Such unanimity was the normal fruitage, we !elleve, of the devotional spirit that prevaded every session, tho answer to the prayers of the nimbers of both churches everywhere. While slight doctrinal and other differ ences were thought to exist by some mem bers of the committees, a thoughtful Hnd prayerful consideration of these supposed barriers has so far either removed these obstacles, or so nearly shown them not actunlly to exist, that we entertain the confident hope that within a very few years reunion may be accepted In a man ner wholly creditable to both churches and honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jasus Christ. Pending further negotiations and until further action has been taken. It Is Im possible to explain In detail the proposals under consideration or to announce the basis upon which we all expect to reach an ugrrement. WILLIAM HENRY ROBERTS. Chairman Presbyterian Committee. WILLIAM H. BLACK. Chairman Cumberland Presbyterian Com mittee. It Is authoritatively announced that In all the proposals under consideration, and In any agreement finally reached, provision will be made for the protection, promotion and preservation In their present form, of all the educational Institutions of tho Cum berland Presbyterian church. ADAMS MAY BE RELEASED White Snspeet In Blaine Case Mar do and Colored Man Be Held. 'This Is a most extraordinary case from the viewpoint of the police," said Captain of Detectives Dunn, when asked If any thing "new" In the Blaine murder mystery had developed during Thursday night. "We are working on slender clues," he con tinued, "and, as you know, we started with absolutely no clue whatever. We have ar rested Bert Adams, but I am not sure there Is anything In his esse. We have been In vestlgatlng Mr. Adams, and the only dam. aging thing In reference to him Is that ho made a remark in the presence of others that In the light of subsequent events was very Indiscreet." At this Juncture the wife and mother of Bert Adams appeared in the door of the outer office and the captain admitted them After talking with the captain Mrs. Adams stated that her husband had not been out of the house Wednesday evening. He had. she said, returned from work at the Bul la rd & Hoagland lumber yard at 6 o'clock and had remained home all the evening reading a book. Thursday he was at work, and but for his arrest would now be at work, v Captain Dunn had Adams brought In and he told substantially the same story as did his wife. The captain Immediately din patched men to substantiate the story and If it is found correct his release may fol low. The Adams live at 2213 Grace street and Bert Adams has of late been working extra for the C. B. Havens company as teamster For the last three days he bad bean with Dullard & Hoagland. Captain Dunn said: "We will pursue this case on the theory that a foul murder was committed until something develops. From the report of the doctor who made the autopsy it appears Blaine was hit with lead pipe or a heavy sand bag." The captain said that he intended holding Jeff Bates, colored, until a thorough In vestigation had been made. Bates was try ing to set up an alibi, but so far had failed to do so.
