Mis Berth Muenter Declares She Does Not Believe Brother Haa Commit ted Suicide Thinks He Is Innocent CHICAGO, May 5.-The Inter-Occan today says The mysterious disappearance of Miss Bertha Muenter, sister of Profes sor Erich Muenter, who is charged with poisoning hi wife, was solved last night when reporters located the young woman at the home of her sisten Mrs. Farmer, in Rogers Park. Miss Muenter denied that she was hiding from the police, declared that she desired to con ceal nothing, and asserted that she only ought freedom from annoyance by the police. , "I have no information as to my brother's whereabouts," said MUs Muenter. "I am seeking him through advertisements in the papers and in every possible way that holds hop.' of success. I am firmly of my first opin ion that he is innocent of this horrible accusation against him, and lielieve if he can be found he can clear himself of the charge. "My visit to his former home in Cambridge was productive of nothing to inAinata iia oiiiH. His acauaiiitances luunm. . . . . ft"" j there repudiate the suggestion that he j could have killed his wife. Their con fidence in his innocence comes from knowledge of his home life and the love he had for his wife and family."

The inability of the police to locate Miss Muenter is explained by her de sire to avoid notoriety.

STOKES "GOOD CLOTHES FOR MEN WHO KNOW" TO PREVENT FRAUD Loan Certificate Devised to Stop Any Forgery. IS ELABORATELY ENGRAVED New Loan Certificate is so Printed ai to Prevent Any Alteration Be ing Made by Dishonest Persons. NEW YORK. May 3. -Many of the banks and trust companies of tni city says a morning paper, approved a plan deriied by Vice-IV-idcnt Horace K. Killxm of the National City Hank to prevent robberies of the sort perpetrat ed by Harry Ionanl. Leonard, who .aid afterward that he simply wanted to show the city bank how ea-ily he could rob it, got his money through forging the name of another firm to a fictitious check purporting to pay ofT a loan. Mr. KillMin's plan, bankers think, will prevent anything of the kind in the future. Briefly the plan consists in the issu ance of a loan cert ideate a little larger than the ordinary bank check to the in dividual who takes out the loan. The certificate is of paper makes changes in signatures impossible, and is elaltoratc ly engraved, both on the front and back in colors. The issuing bank does not have its name on the certificates, but uses a combination of letters in the upper right hand coiner and also has the combination of numbers at the bot tom. These establish the bank's iden tity and permit ijilOO.fMK) loans without duplication of any number. Automa tic duplicating machine in charge of the proper officers of the bank make the letters and niunliers. The borrower on paying off the loan must present the certificate to the bank. In the event of the loss of a cer tificate the finder could not. use it, since he could not, without the connivance of an oflicer in the lnk, asM'tain what bank had issued it.
