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: Henry Leonard, or Harry Leonard, as he waa known In our oRW. haa l.,-n i, employ three or four cars. He la 20 to J3 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 exchange.

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.

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.

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!
