H BANK DEFAUL
TER 10 BE RELEASED
SHREWDEST SWINLDER OK
NEW YORK WILL SOON
SING SING PRISON.
NEW YORK, April I Within the
next ten days or two weeks-the exact
date has not been made known-the
great doors of Sing Sing prison will
swing open for the release of Cor
nelius L. Alvord, jr., "the shrewdest
bank defaulter New York has ever
known. Alvord stole three-quarters
of a million dollars from the First
National Bank of this city. In 19110
he was sentenced to ten years' impris
onment, which the regular time al
lowance for good behavior has reduc
ed. The Alvord defalcation was in many
respects the most sensational that
Wall street has ever known. When
the old First National Bank, noted
for its conservativeness. came out
ith a formal acknowledgement that
it had been robbed of $700,000 by an
humble and little-considered note-tel
ler, New York financiers could hardly
believe the report. But it proved
true. Alvord- the most orderly per
son imaginable at the banlc was
found to have been living a dual life.
For months and even years, as the
evidence at the trial showed, he had
been gambling at Saratoga so rashlv
as to attract the attention and admira
tion of the old-timers at that noted
resort. He had maintained in a
trainer's name, a string of race horses
of his own. He had owned motor
boats and automobiles and had lived,
in short, at an average rate of about
$300 a day on a salary of $3,500 a year.
To do this he had consistently and
systematically robbed the bank for a
period of about six years.
The exact way in which he stole
was never thoroughly revealed by the
bank officials. His peculations, they
said, were skilfully concealed by
clever manipulation of his "balance
books." That was as near as they
came to telling. The bank had a sur
plus from which to make good the
losses, and the defalcation caused no
embarrassment to the big institution.
It was on Oct. 23, 1900, when bank
examiners appeared suddenly at the
First National and introduced them
selves to Alvord the note teller, who
had enjoyed most unusual confidence
and privileges at the bank. Mr. Al
vord smilingly greeted them, then ex
cused himself and left the bank. He
was seen no more until arrested in
Boston six days later by detectives of
Captain Mc Clusky's staff. He came
back without requisition, smilingly ad -
mitted his guilt and was shortly after
ward sent to prison.
At Sing Sing he had a clerical posi
tion in the warden's office and has not
had to mix with the other prisoners.
His wife, it is said, has visited him
often, regardless of the rules that re
strict visitors to other prisoners. H
has even had especial meals cooked
.or mm Dy anorner prisoner ass.gned
10 ine rasK, to wnom ne is said to
have paid $3 a week.
Upon his release Alvord is expected
to return to his old home in the vil
lage of Stackport to live. Mrs- Al
vord has recently had built a cozy
home in the hills near Stockport. The
villagers hint that Alvord was wise
enough to "plant" a considerable part
but this is denied

BlIGSDESTROYIICH
TIMBER
FOREST SERVICE FIND LOCA
TIONS IN THE NORTHWEST
ARE MUCH AFFECTED.
PORTLAND, April l.-It is well
known how enormous is the damage
done by fires to the forests of the
Northwest, but there are other en
emies of the trees of this regiorr. In
sects are also active destroyers of live
timber.
The Forest Service has lately found
that in one locality in Washington a
species of barkbeetle-dendroctonus
ponderosae, the entomologists call
lias been killing spots of thrifty
young Douglas fir and doing thous
ands of dollars of damage. These
beetles ordinarily breed only in small
numbers between the bark and the
wood of damaged, dying, dead or re
cently felled trees, but when mitablo
j breeding places become particularly
numerous and favorable, they increase
so enormously in numbers that they
arc forced to take up their residence
in living trees, which they promptly
kill.
The fact that these barkbectles find
such favorable breeding places in old
logging works is a strong additional
reason, the Forest Service concludes,
for burning over slashings after log
ging. If the beetles become exces
sively abundant only when they have
the unconsumcd debris from logging
to breed in, and if they will kill valu
able timber when they do become ex
ccssively abundant, foresters ask why
leave this debris to facilitate propa
gation? THE FESTIVE GAMBLER

CHICAGO, April 1--A farm so
ciety that shall be active in politics
and represent the rural population in
the affairs of the nation is declared
to be the great need in the Unite!
States by Nerval D. Kemp of Dayton.
Ohio, former secretary of Roosevelt's
farm life commission in a communica
tion to the Chicago association of
commerce Mr. Kemp pictures country
life as a neighborhood community a
few years ago, and declares it has
been much disturbed by manufactur
ing progress.
From this community, he says,
came the men and women of the
United State and they were strong
and upstanding"
"City life has not replaced on the
farm the community life that center
ed in them, the quilting! and the husk
ing bees and the barn raising. There
is no longer any such thing as a trus
rural society founded on the life and
work of the country and embodying
high, constructive and realisable
ideals.
