In Drawer la Hla Ward
robs, NEW YORK, Oct. t-By the confession
t Henry A. Ieonrd, a young clerk In the
smpioy or Iiaue miegius. Drone ai u
3road street the mystery of the robbery on
Wednesday last of $359,000 worth of securi
ty from the National City bank was j
beared up today. Leonard, who lives with
.lis parent at W East 136th street, was
trrested yesterday and kept In close con
finement while the detectives continued
:helr search for the mlsr.ing securities,
very dollar of which was recovered to
lay. The prisoner, who Is only 24 years
ld, and who has previously borne the
eputation of an Industrious and thoroughly
reliable clerk made the astounding etate
nent In his confession that he had planned
ind carried out his scheme of forgery and
obbery not from any criminal motive, but
tolely to show by what a simple device
:he elaborate safeguards of New Tork
banks could be set at naught. That this
statement Is true is In a measure cor
roborated by the facts In the case and Is
the belief of the young man's employers
by whom he was highly esteemed.
All Seenrltles Recovered.
Soon after the theft Leonard mailed a
package containing 1300.000 In securities to
the residence of Dyer Pearl, senior mem
ber of the firm of Pearl & Co., by whom
they were owned. The package was re-
celved by Mr. Pearl yeaterday. Today
Leonard's father turned over to the police
the remaining 150,000 in stocks and bonds
which he said hud been found In a ward
robe In his house where his son had said
after his arrest he had secreted them.
The first clue that led to Leonard's ar
rest was obtained when the detective traced
the rubber stamp maker whom Leonard
had employed to make the Imitation certi
fication stamp used In the check he pre
sented at the National City bank. As a
model for the stamp he gave the maker
an old certified check bearing a fragment
of the signature of Halle ft 8tlegllta and
also a memorandum In his own hand which
was Identified by fellow clerks.
Leonard was held In the Tombs police
court In $50,000 ball for further examlna
' tion. ,
(VW.AIstc Was Planned,
, Leonard' told 'the police today that he'
conceived the idea ot the theft some three
or four months ago and had been plan
ning during that time to execute It and
show how easy such a scheme could be
practiced on the banks of New York. On
September to, be said, he found four blank
checks on the Hanover National bank.
That was In the forenoon. Later, -on the
same day, he said, he was in the corridor
ot tiie National City bank and among the
men waiting In line he saw a man holding
in hla hand an envelope marked (300,000,
4'4 per cent, on the envelope. He said
he heard th loan clerk tell the messen
ger that the Interest was 4H per cent and
not t4 Then, he said, the messenger de
parted. Leonard then bad his one and went to
th Bowery and ordered a rubber certifica
tion stamp, but before doing so he cut out
th certification of an old check for which
th stamp was to be copied. After he se
cured the stamp he tilled out the body
of the check drawn on the Hanover Na
tional bank. Then, he said, he went to
Wall street and hailed a passing boy and
asked htm if he knew where the National
City bank waa The boy said he did not.
Leonard said he -told him: "Take' this
check to No. M Wall street and hand It to
th loan clerk." Leonard meanwhile stood
oppoaii the customs house and saw th
boy take th package and com' out with
th, securities.
. teat Securities ta Owner,
Leonard said he took the securities to hi
house at fM East Hundred and Thirty
sixth street and with, no delay nut them
iu a wrapper, affixed the necessary stamp
and took them to a mail box in the neigh
borhood of West Ninety-second street and
mailed them to Dyer Pearl of 44 Went
Seventy-third street, who is a member of
th firm that owned the securities. There
wer. however, only liuO.OOo worth of secur
ities In th package, which were received
safely the next day by Mr. Pearl. There
wer S61.000 worth of securities missing and
Leonard explained that by saying that to
have incloaed them all in a package by
mail would have made the package too
bulky, and he therefore kept them out and
only mailed 1300.0ft) worth. In this connec
tion it was noted by the police that only
about tSO.000 worth of the securltlea was
negotiable
August Stelgiiti of the brokerage firm
that employed l,eonard made the" following
statement cWiicerning him:

waa known In our oRW. haa l.,-n i,

year old. He has always behaved well
and we always regarded him as thoroughly
honest and trustworthy. I believe It will he
found that this thing waa not diNiionctiiy,
but rather that the young man wanted to
show how easy It waa to perform such a
trick.
Mr. Stelglttx declined to say more than
this. In other quarters, however. It was
learned that th young man waa in the
stork and loan department of Halle ft
Btelgllta, who are Mg operators lu the stock

th nancial agent of Japan, .who shortly
r in to America, aaya there is no defl
n project for a new Japanese loan nor
h ) step bee taken for the conversion
Oi .. old loai.s. He anticipated however,
that the financial program to be submitted
at the coming aeaalon of the Diet will pro
pose a new loan to liquidate the high
priced bonds now outstanding. The last
loan la atlll Intact and will suffice to
repatriate the Japanese armies In Man
churia and defray the expenses of their
demobilisation. Regarding pensions and
compensation to widows and others they
will be paid in government bonds which
are -more likely to remain In possession of
the beneficiaries than cash.
Baron Klyoura, minister of agriculture
and commerce, today, said the government
was considering the Improvement and ex
tension of the means of comatunlcatlon
and carrying power by land and water, and
also lower transportation rates. The min
ister dwelt upon the Importance of the in
troduction of foreign capital and said it
was possible that the facilities for that
purpose would be extended. He hoped that
the business men would utilize to theail
most the moral and material benefits de
rived from the Japanese victories for de
veloping the' foreign trade of the country
and home Industries.
M. Sakatanl, the assistant minister of
finance, at the same meeting, said it would
be premature to divulge the government's
fiscal measures before the ratification of
the peace treaty, and called attention to
the fact that the amount of the Japanese
loan bonds taken by foreigners already
reached $600,000,000 Interest, on which would
be paid the hard money. Business men,
he added, were expected to exert their best
efforts to Increase the export trade, main
tain Jupan'a credit abroad and encourage
frugality so as to cope with Japan's In
creased Indebtedness abroad.
TROOPS ORDERED TO BERLIN

BERLIN, Oct 2. Two guard regiments
now maneuvering In the country have been
ordered to return Immediately to Berlin,
aa a precautionary measure agaiimt strike
excesses. They will arrive here tonlKht.
Half the street car service Is now stopped.
The negotiations between the electrical
companies and their employes for higher
wages were broken oft today and a general
strike In the works manufacturing elec
trical apparatus and supplies has been or
dered for tomorrow. Part of the employes
of the power and lighting works went out
on a sympathetic strike today without
awaiting the result of.the conference of the
labor leader with their employers. Con
sequently one-third of the street cars were
stopped. Electric lighting tonight may be
partially suspended. The municipal gov
ernment acting upon the principal that the
nnllghted streets are a danger to the pub-
tic has ordered out the engineers from
the fire companies to the various power
houses.
As the army contains many thousand of
trained workers every trade company has
applied to the minister of war for tern
porary details of engineers and stokers.
These have been refused on the grounds
that it is unnecessary at present, but ar
rangements have been 'made to bring J60
engineers from the torpedo battalions at
Kiel. The war ministry has also declined
to Issue an order announcing that dis
charged soldiers who have served out their
term as engineers and stokers could find
employment with the electrical companies.
but the army administration will after no
objection to battalion commanders giving
out such notices.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2. B. S. Cusev, who Is
traffic manager for Schwarxsehlld ft Sulz
berger, and was recently fined $.1,000 for
conspiracy In soliciting and appropriating
sales from railroad companies, testified to
day before the Interstate Commerce com
mission regarding freight rates on live stock
and llvw- Mock products from Missouri
river points -to Chicago. Mr. Cusey was
temporarily excused and was Instructed
by the court to return with the accounts
of Schwarxsehlld ft Sulxberger company
showing all rebates received on shipments
of dressed meats and packinghouse pro
ducts since 1901.
Four other traffic managers of the large
packing companies were today subpoenaed
aa witnesses They are: if. H. Fredericks,
traffic manager for Swift and Company; F. O.
Friable, traffic manager for Armour ft Co.;
Harry Wyatt, former . traffic manager for
Nelson Morris ft Co., and Patrick Caasldy,
traffic manager for the National Packing
company.
H. P. Buell, president of the Chicago
Live Stock exchange and a live stock com
mission dealer and shipper for twenty-nine
years, was on the stand the greater part
of the afternoon. He declared that under
present freight rates Kansas City was a
better market than Chicago. The best
prices ar paid in Chicago, but In shipping
cattle from Texas the freight rates make
it more advantageous to market them In
Kansas City," said the wltpess. "Up to
ten years ago practically all the Texas
cattle, were brought to Chicago, but re
cently most of these cattle have gone to
Kansas City. Chicago Is the greatest cat
tle market In the world, because of the
wide competition among buyers, and alt
the Texas cattle would continue to come
here if the shippers were given the right
rates. Under present conditions, however,
this is discriminated against In favor of
Kansas City."
'Have you not heard of un alleged com
bination among the packers which arbi
trarily fixes the price of cattle here in
Chicago, and do you not think that ship
pers for that reason may prefer to send
their products to Kansas City and other
markets?" the witness was aBked.
'I have heard of the alleged combina
tion of packers here to control prices of
live stock, but they cannot do It on all
classes of animals," replied Buell. "The
price of stock sold to export buyers and
speculators is never Influenced by anything
the packers' agents may do."
The hearing "sill be resumed tomorrow.

certain to give fresh stimulus to the fight
now In progress to drive out the fever be
fore the end of the present month. The
president's refusal to be swayed by the
fear of personal risk, which so many In
fluences have pressed upon him, has fur-

PAT CROWE SAID TO BE IN JAIL
Police at Untie. Mont., Think They
Have the Marh Waated
Omaha Maa.
BUTTE, Mont., Oct. J.-Opecial Tele
gram.) Th city police claim they have
Pat Crowe under arrest and behind the
bars of the county Jail. The man under
arrest says he Is Pat Crowe and the man
wanted In Omahn. He was arrested by
Detectives Mclnerney and McOrath about
8 o'clock this evening at the Northern Pa
cific depot, whe.- he was waiting for the
arrival of th westbound train. Mc
lnerney walked up to him and said:
"Hello, Pat," and the man turned quickly
to face a gun In the hands of McGrath.
Crowe was taken to the clt. Jail, where
he gave his name to the jailer as Pat
Crowe and asked permission to send a tel
egram to the chief of police at Omah.t,
which permission was denied him. He
then made a request of the detectives that
news of the arrest be not sent out until
later at night, after he had time to think
and had another Interview with the offi
cers, which request was granted.
No one was permitted to sec him, but
Mclnerney claims there Is no question as
to the man's Identity. The detective had
Information that Crowe was In the city
and had visited the home of his brother,
Anthony Crowe, where he spent some time
several years ago and that he would get
out of town tonlKht. The depots were all
guarded. Crowe walked alone to the North
ern Pacific depot, where he was captured.
It is said he claims he Is not a fugitive
and that the Omaha police do not want
him. He say they could have had him
before, yet when arrested he ssld to Mc
lnerney: "If I had my other gun I would have
got you Instead of your getting me."
The officer took one gun from him. They
say he has been In Butte off and on fre
quently ever since the Cudahy kidnaping.
Crowe's Identification has been made
complete through photographs sent to the
authorities by the Omaha officers. Crowe
declared he would return to Omaha with
out requisition papers. He cursed bitterly
at his arrest, expressing chagrin at his ap
prehension in a town the size of Butte,
when he, as he said, had traveled the
world over and evaded capture In large
cities. Crowe has two brother tn Mon
tana, one living In Butte and the other at
Great Falls.
A friend of Crowe's tipped the local
police of Crowe' presence In the city and
his arrest followed after photograph of
the fugitive had been secured from Omaha!
The police here have not been notified
yet of the arrest. They say, however, it
is possibly true. Pat ha a brother by
the name of Anthony, whom they ar in
formed live -in Montana and it would be
perfectly natural for Pat to go there.
