WELSHER ON TRACK
Caught in Act of Eloping With
" Bettor's Money.
WINNERS CLAMOR FOR PAY
Emeryville Track Officials Are Too
kwift for Crosby, Though Auto
i mobile Awaits Him Winners
.. Paid . With Track Funds. '
SAM FRANCISCO, . Dec. 2g.-Soma ex
citement was caused at the Emeryville
racetrack this afternoon when it was
discovered that one of the bookmakers
'had disappeared with the money placed
by bettors in the first race. The book
was known as the Golden Gate Club and
was backed by E. J. Grover and F.
Crosby, who came recently to the track
officials and presented credentials.
Today Crosby as cashier took In $1040
on the first race.. While the race was
being run, George Palmer, one of the
clerks of the bookftig concern, ran into
the office of the track officials and re
ported that Crosby had placed all of the
money in a bag and was leaving the
grounds. Detectives pursued and ar
rested him near the gate, where an
automobile was awaiting him. Grover
was found in the grandstand and was
also taken into custody.
After the race the holders of winning
tickets gathered around the deserted
betting booth and began clamoring for
their money. The New California Jockey
Club immediately placed a new crew in
charge of the book and the winners were
paid out of the track funds.
GRAIN TRUST'S ENEMY DES
Worrall Takes Own Idfe to Escape
Torture of Sciatica,
1.TKCOLK. Neb., Pec. 28. Thomas D.
Worrall, one of the best-known men of
Lincoln and Eastern Nebraska, commit
ted suicide today In his office, by swal
lowing carbolic acid. He had been dead
several hours when found. Letters left
to members of his, family, a wife and
two sons, and to Thomas Allen, chairman
of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, showed that the aot was premedi
tated, the result, according to the letters,
of a fear of a return of an aggravated
attack of sciatica, from which he had
suffered frequently, combined with nerv
ous troubles.
He was in comfortable financial circum
stances, but brooded over what he called
the wrecking of a once profitable busi
ness. Mr. Worrall gained prominence by a
book he published some years ago, enti
tled "The Grain Trust Exposed." An ex
' pression in this book was as follows:
"My story Is of a band of broadclothed
'respectables' who have grown rich at
the expense of the farmers. Unlike the
James gang, this band has not ridden
the prairies armed with Winchesters,
taking .their lives in their hands to Com
mit crimes in bold and open violation of
the law. Methods now are more modern.
A plan has been evolved for obtaining
the maximum of loot with the minimum
of risk."
Mr. Worrall was a great admirer and
enthusiastic supporter of William J.
Bryan, and until recently took an active
part in the political contests of the
county and state. He had held a number
of appointive offices. He was 47 years
old.

SHIP STOCKTO HONDURAS
Queer Proceeding of Two Bankrupt
JVew Orleans Merchants.
NBW ORLEANS. Dec. 28. Of the many
ships which make mysterous and often
times venturesome voyages from New Or
leans to Central American ports, not one
has made such a perplexing trip as the
steamer Alps, today reported ashore on
Glover's Reef, off the coast of British
Honduras. Not a dozen persons knew
when the Alps left here that she carried
William Adler and Moses Schwartz, re
spectively the heads of two of New Or
leans' firms which have since gone into
the hands of receivers. Adler, in addi
tion, was one- of the city's leading
bankers.
The Alps carried about $25,000 worth of
groceries from Adler's wholesale grocery
firm.- The Honduran government, to
which this cargo was consigned, was
asked by its consul hero to detain the
shipment and also to look for arms on
the Alps. The consul declares the gro
ceries were not intended for his govern
ment. An explanation offered by Adler's
friends is that he hoped to recoup his
firm's losses by selling the groceries at
Central American ports.
TUNNEL WORKS PERFECTLY
Trial of Subway Under Hudson to
Jersey City.
NEW YORK, Dec 28. Another of the
series, of tunnels that are destined
eventually to solve the traffic problem of
Manhattan Island, was given its try-oat
today when the . first car was sent over
the route of the Hudson tunnel from
Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue be
neath the Hudson River to Hoboken, N.
J. The journey was made without a
single mishap and demonstrated that
every part of the structure . under the
Hudson River and the apparatus Installed
there Is in perfect wonting order.
Fifty cars will be put in operation on
February 1, which will run on a two
minute headway from Fourteenth street
to Hoboken. - By next October the Sub
way will be completed and In operation
to Herald square. It was also said that
the tunnels from Liberty and Church
streets to Jersey City would toe in opera
tion before January 1.
One of the tunnels through which the
trips were made today was begun thirty
years ago. The McAdoo Company took
up the work In 1903. .. .
WANTS NO OUTSIDE HELP
Mrs. Eddy to Give Entire $1,000,
000 Charitable Fund Herself.
BOSTON, Dec 28. The following
statement regarding the charitable
purposes of the fund of $1,000,000 do
nated by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
was issued today by Alfred Farlow, of
the Christian Science Publication Com
pany: . -
"There seems to be an Impression
that contributions to the funds are de
sired. This Is a mistake, since the an
nouncement of Mrs. Eddy's enterprise,
she has been in receipt of many letters
of appreciation from alt parts of the
world commending her efforts. Many
of these letters have been accompanied
by checks sent as contributions to aid
the funds. It should be well under
stood that Mrs. Eddy has set aside the
entire amount necessary for this fund,
namely $1,000,000, and donations from
others have not been asked for nor
are they expected."

DAHTHETTTHE HEAD
The "Big-Stick" in Wrecked
California Bank.
IMMUNITY NOT PROMISED
Rumor That He and Walker Are .Not
to Be Punished la Vehemently
Denied by Assistant District
Attorney Cook in Statement.
. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28. "The
.claim made, by Walter J. Bartnett that
he had no active part in the manage
ment of-the California Safe & Deposit
Trust Company has no foundation in
fact, and is absolutely untrue," was
the statement made today by Assist
ant District Attorney William HofC
Cook, who has had charge of the In
vestigation into the affairs of the in
solvent bank in which the money of
12,000 depositors is tied up.
"Bartnett, not Brown, as is generally
supposed, was the 'big stick' in the
bank," declared the Assistant District
Attorney. "Bartnett was vloe-presl-dent
of the company and my Investi
gation has disclosed that It was he
and not Brown who was the active
head of the institution. There was lit
tle done that was not first pasaed up
to Bartnett for his approval.
Cannot Shift Blame.
"Bartnett's attempts to shift all re
sponsibility for the disappearance of
the Colton securities, as well as for
the failure of the bank, upon Brown,
will not succeed. Examination of the
bank's correspondence has revealed
that Bartnett had authority to stop
Brown in anything that he did not
approve of."
Mr. Cook reiterated that the stocks
belonging to the Colton estate alleged
to have been found in the vaults of
the bank yesterday, were not a part
of the missing securities.
"The stocks referred to we aaver
lost or found. We knew where they
were and what they were," said he.'.
Walker Is Not Immune.
The Assistant District Attorney ve
hemently denied the reports that Bart
nett and David F. Walker, president
of the insolvent trust company, would
be given immunity.
"In my opinion, Bartnett materially
injured his defense in voluntarily tes
tifying before the grand Jury yester
day," said Mr. Cook. "As for Walker,
the evidence against Mm is more neg
ative and circumstantial but there is
no intention on the part of the Dis
trict Attorney's office to give him im
munity and his connection and respon
sibility will be laid before the grand
Jury as soon as it Is through with Bart
nett and Brown."

WIPING OUT THE DEFICTEXCY
New York Banks Attain Results by
Reduction of Loans.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28. The statement
Of the clearing-house banks for the five
days this week shows that the banks
hold $20,170,350 less than the require
ments of the 25 per cent rule. This is
an increase of $11,580,650 in the pro
portionate cash reserve, as compared
with last week. The statement follows:

$11,658,876.
The Financier will say tomorrow:
"The showing the associated banks
of New York City made in their state
ment of Saturday, December 28, was
by far the best since the subsidence of
the late financial flurry. The gain in
cash, amounting to $9,348,500, was
larger than had been estimated and
represents probably transactions be
tween banks not recorded in the ordi
nary transactions.
"The heavy liquidation in loans con
tinues, the decrease for the week hav
ing been $17,663,000. making a total
of nearly $44,500,000 since the middle
of November. Deposits fell off $8,
568,600, owing to loan liquidation, and
the deorease in this item, coupled with
the cash increase already noted,
brought the banks $11,580,650 nearer
the elimination of tha reserve de
ficiency, the latter now standing' at
$20,170,350, as against $54,000,000 re
ported six weeks ago. If the 2o per
cent reserve carried by the banks
against the $78,889,100 of Government
deposits be eliminated, the safety c
such deposits being secured by pledges
of bond security. It is found that the
reserve deficiency on commercial de
posits " has been made up, the per
centage on this class of business
amounting practically to 25 per cent.
"The disappearance of a premium on
currency at the end of the week and
the resales in London of gold engaged
for American import go to show that
normal conditions In banking are again
at hand. It is true that the New York
bank statement during the next week
or two will be affected temporarily by
the disbursement of January Interest
and dividend funds, but in this con
nection it is also true that large
amounts will be sent to New York to.
meet these requirements. At the pres
ent rate of progress the middle of
January should mark the extinguish
ment of the present reserve deficiency.

JACKSON. Tenn., Dec. 28. The Jack

Governor of North Carolina Re
pudiates Bonds.
STATE RECEIVED NOTHING
Renewed Attempt to Enforce Collec
.tlon of Bonds Issued In Recon
struction Bays Met With a .
Stern Negative by Glenn.
'NEW YORK, Dec 28. Governor Robert
B. Glenn, of North Carolina, in a letter
received today, replying to a communica
tion from Edward L. Andrews, who rep
resents holders of $11,000,000 of special tax
bonds . which matured three years ago
and which have, never been paid, declared
that the Legislature had twice repudiated
the bonds and that the state would not
pay one cent for them. Mr. Glenn de
clares that North Carolina has acted
fairly with Its creditors, but that it would
not pay for bonds "conceived in sin and
brought forth in iniquity."
Mr. Andrews urged that settlement be
effected, stating that arrangements were
being made to donate $3,000,000 of the
bonds to a foreign government for the
purpose of the suit, since under the law
Individuals cannot sue a state.
The question of payment of .the bonds
has been the subject matter of intermin
able litigation. Payment of the bonds
was declined because it was urged that
the agent who disposed of the bonds
failed to make proper return to the state.
GLEXX RESENTS ALL THREATS
Cannot Be Induced to Recognise
Bonds as Valid Debt.
(RALEIGH, N. C. Dec. 28. The bonds
referred to by Edward L. Andrews, of
New York, which North Carolina has
repudiated, are known in this state as
"special tax bonds," and were made dur
ing the reconstruction period, the stats
netting nothing. Many of these have
been collected by New York persons rep
resented by Johiv G. Carlisle. Henry H.
Melville and L. H Whicher, and offers
to - donate large amounts to . various
states by these bondholders so as to have
suit brought against North Carolina,
have been rejected.
Edward L Andrews asked Governor
Glenn to present the matter of paying
these bonds to a possible extra session
of the Legislature with the requirement
for a constitutional amendment election
to be put to a vote on paying the bonds,
threatening unless this is done, to give
three millions of the bonds to a foreign
nation so as to have suit brought, as
no Individual can sue a state. ' The bonds'
are considered fraudulent and twice tho
Legislature has declined to pay them,
while once the people, in a constitu
tional election, repudiated them.
Mr. Glenn wrote to Mr. Andrews de
clining to do anything but to resist any
action brought; that the bonds were
"conceived in sin and brought forth in"
