FOR GOVERNORSHIP
$500,000 in Securities
in New York. V
WIFE CAUSED HIS ARREST
Detective Traced Him to Restaurant
Where He Was Hiding Sent o
Tombs Under $25,000 Bail.
Details of Arrest. : -
New York, July . 29. A frail . little
man with gray cheeks - land : hollow
eyes in whose manner 'and presence
there was nothing to' suggest thkt sin
gle handed he had I coolly, lifted 50O,
000 in bonds and - stocks from 1 the
strong box of a bank, was arrested,
day in a downtown restaurant, not five
minutes' walk from the. bank he. hi
robbed. He was Edwin ; .Wider,- the
missing cashier ' of the . Russo-Chlnese
bank. " -i : !t ; 'ill' tVI-''
In the court of general sessions his
lawyer, Leon Ginsberg, said that he
would plead guilty and he was commit
ted to the tombs in default of $25,000
bail. V..
Ginsberg pleaded vainly, with Judge
Warren Foster for a lower amount,
saying "none of this money is in my
client's possession. It was all 'swal
lowed up in Wall Street specuation."
Almost as Wider, was arrested, the
grand Jury handed up an indictment
against him, charging specifically, that
he stole three, certificates, one- of 50
shares and two others of 25 shares
each of Baltimore & Ohio stock.: and
that he disposed of them through the
brokerage house of Dick Brothers on
May last. These particulars indicate
that the process' of theft had been go
ing on for weeks '. land: possibly for
months before it. was" discovered.
How such, a state dt affairs could
i iive existed is difficult to understand, 1
. tor at least three-other; officers of the
bank had access to thg safety deposit
rWfclrflie 'banrssedrlUe
i iefe kept, and thd boi: Itself was
brought daily to' the ? offices of the
bank, where it -was kept during. busi
ness hours in the1 bank's safe. Brokers
with whom Wider traded have, said J
mat he called np. from the bank to
give them orders over the telephone.' '
The arrest today was due to the per
sistence with' which detectives, trailed
Wider's ,wife. She was in consulta
tion last ,n!ght with Mrs. Ginsberg,
whose-husband, besides being Wider's
lawyer was also his neighbor, ' and
thence she was traced today' to the
restaurant . where her own husband
was arrested. Wider himself was piti
fully broken. His lawyer said he was
a sick man and he looked it. As he
was led into the tombs he collapsed.
Ginsberg's statement today, that all
the sum stolen had been eaten In the
speculation would ' seem to indicate
that the bank will never recover . a
dollar. Wider will be arraigned for
Pleading next Monday.
Wider Explai ns His Undoing.
In his cell in the tombs Wider to
night made the following statement:
"I never thought of the probable
consenuences of my act. ' 1 never
thought of anything except that I had
an opportunity in Wall Street to mak
money. And it seemed safe too..
"My pay at the bank was ia small I
could not live and keep my family In
the way I saw my. friends keep
theirs." Wider's pay is said to have
bepn $1,200 a year. . , - M .. , ,
' I kept thinking about tne way . In
which money was made in the stock
Market. I heard how easy it was and
that any one could get in there and
speculate. The risk, J was told, was
nothing. v
"I talked the situation over careful
ly with men who told me they knew all
about stocks and speculation. Then I
aedd.-d to take a chance.
"Rut I never had a chance. It was
Jiwa.vs, always messages from the
brokers for 'more margin, margins,
njorfi margins.' They seemed insatia
ble. V
"Kot, however, until; I was in 'so

inink I was reckless at the beginning,
but I realize it now. -

the ; Nfcw Yoik potton operator and
Scott Dalgieish, of Cairo, Egypt, the
representative of the Hirsch syndi

: Briefly, the idea is to establisU
warehouses in all parts of the cotton
producing districts of this country, aa
well as in the manufacturing centers,
for storing the cotton crop, so that
instead of selling it - from hand to
mouth, as It has been practiced here
tofore, it will be marketed through"
the entire crop when desirable.
It is said' that economies will result
in a saving of not less than fifty mil
lion dollars annually., , "

Sully's Project Favorable. ;,v.
Atlanta, Ga., July. 29. The project
of -Daniel J. Sully and associates to
establish bonded cotton - warehouses
throughout .-the South and at various
manufacturing centers throughout the
country, the tentative plans of which
already have been laid before bankers
and cotton factors of the South by. Mr.
Sully In person, has met with a favor
able reception throughout the cotton
growing States.
Following the visit to Atlanta last
week of Messrs. Sully and Dalgieish,

yesterday adopted, a resolution , favor
ing : the . establishment . of a ; chain of
warehouses .such. as. Mr Sully propos-
ed. President Fred J., Paxson, of , the
Chamber ot Commerce, , said, the . suc
cessful operation of . the Sully plan
would greatly aid the South in. financ
ing the .cotton and believed it would
result in the saving of millions 01 doi;

The wireless station here resounded
all day with messages being exchang
ed between the Canadian authorities,
the Scotland Yard Inspector and the
captain of , the Montrose. -V.
An Immense amount of red tape had
to be vjnrolled before the London de
tective cculd be landed here ,'rom the
White iS far Liner Laurentic on which
he crossed the ocean. She arrived here
shortly before 4 o'clock this afternoon:
The long expected detective prov
ed to be a large florid faced man with
an Impenetrable reserve. He imme
diately dodged , behind the Canadian
police officer and declined to discuss
the case. "I am sworn to secrecy ," he
said. "I cannot - answer any of your
questions.' . .- .. k .' .
Dew later drove with the Canadian
detectives to a boarding house, where
they will stay until the arrival of the
Montrose. . -, '-,
Passengers on the Laurentic say
that :' Dew guarded his identity from
them t until yesterday 'when a- bom
bardment of wireless queries revealed
the-fact that he was aboard. "He was
on the passenger list a-s 'Dewhurst.",
The - fact , that he sought out Chief
McCarthy, the Quebec police here
seems to indicate that 'the provincial
officers and not. dominion authorities
will arrest. Crippen if he' is aboard
the 1 Montrose." When Constable Cha
Gouvreau, of.RImonski, five miles from

TWO 0RDWIIE0 HEAR SAVANNAH
Sergeant Oliver and Officer's Son Lost
Their, Lives When Launch Sank. ,
Several Others. Had Fright
ful Experience. ; .
Savannah, Ga"., July 29. At least
two persons were drowned and several
others had narrow escapes from death
when a covered launch, owned by the
government arid used by the soldiers
at Fort. .Screven, was sunk In laza
retto Creek, near, the fort this after
noon while the outgoing tide was
rushing through the creek at race
horse speed.
The dead are Sergeant Oliver, one
of the best known non-commissioned
officers in the coast artillery, corps,
and the six-year-old son of Sergeant
Blake. ' " '. " "
It is hell eyed that Sergeant Oliver,
who is an old man, lost his life while
trying to save that of the child. .
A woman member of the party jwas
caught by the tide and carried down"
the creek for several hundred yards;
screaming for help, until she lost con
sciousness. She was rescued by fish
ermen, hurried to the bank and was
revived. Other occupants of . the
launch, It is believed now, escaped
safely. . ' ;
The accident occurred where . the
Tybee railroad crosses the creek on'
a low bridge. The top of the launch
struck the bridge, the craft careened
and was swept under water in a. mo
ment. A passenger train reached the
bridge soon after the accident , -', -
Passengers cared for. the survivors.
A report of the accident at Fort Scre
ven caused a detail of soldiers to be
sent to the scene in order to recover
the bodies. It is understood that thi?
search will be very difficult as it is be
lieved the tide carried the bodies out
into the wide mouth of the Savannah
river, and possibly to sea. The survi
vors, dripping and still suffering from
fright, were taken aboardL the train
and hurried to the fort

chot, former chief . ' forester i under

upon the list of possible candidates
for the Republican : nomination ! fav
governor of New York and -Theodore
Roosevelt was asked to support his
candidacy. .';.! : "
Although the ex-President is earth
fully suppressing everything which in
any way resembles an outspoken dec
laration in favor of any candidate he
showed great interest in this latest
boon and it is believed that he does
not look unkindly on it. "
it
Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, for-
er commissioner of education of Por-
Rico and now a professor" of Co
lumbia University, is the man, who
launched the new boom. He had a
long and confidential talk today-with
Col, Roosevelt and left with the air
of a man well pleased with the turn
things had taken.. His auditor listened
with the greatest interest, but explain
ed that he could make no public com
ment. Dr. Lindsay explained that, although
Mr. Pinchot has often been absent
from New York State in recent years,
he has always retained his legal resi
dence in . this city and has regularly
voted here. Dr. Lindsay is a close
friend of Uoth Col. Roosevelt and. Mr,
Pinchot in, connection , with other
friends he has been wprking quietly
on , the Pinchot boom for some time,
and first -suggested to Mr tPmchot
himself the; possibility that he might
; uoi.. Kooseveit was told todaythat;
in the opinion of -4 Mr: - -Pinchofs
friends, he : could draw support from
the same sources which had given
power to Governor -Hughes in past
campaigns.- . 'r -
Mr. Pinchot is represented as In
sympathy with the gefierar trend 6?
the Hughes progressive policy,' and It
is pointed-out. that since -he has an
ample private fortune, he would be
able tov meet the expenses which the
office entails, a consideration said to
be largely responsible for the decision
of William Loeb, Jr.,' collector of the
port of New York, not to become a
candidate for the nomination.
Mr. Pinchot is now on his way East
from California, and on his return will
have another conference with his old
chief, Col. Roosevelt. Dr. Lindsay will
tell him then that as Governor of this
State he could continue the work ofi
conservation with which his name ha3 '
. - . : .- - -
become associated in National poJ
cies. It will be represented that there
remains a large field for work which
the Federal government cannot underJ
take, but whlc the Governor of New
York' a8T a' ember of the House of
Governors; could ' forward with 'com
manding 'presence." ;
Dr; Lindsay ' defined Gifford Pinchot
as an insurgent-wfth a difference.
"Mr. Pinchot," he said, "is an insur
gent so far as conservation goes, and
presumably his sympathies lie with
the insurgents on other questions: but
he cannot be classed as a fun'fledfV
insurgent, tie is a; progressive.
-"The personal relations between
President Taft and Pinchot have al
ways been, pleasant and they were
not interrupted by their differences
over the conduct of the Interior De
partment. We who- ravor his candi
dacy do not consider that his nomina
tion could be taken as an affront to
the National administration.'
There were a number of other call
ers at the Colonel's editorial offices
today, among them Senator Beveridgo.
of Indiana; Charles P. Neill, Federal
Commissioner of Labor, Judge Alston
G. Dayton," of West Virginia; Marcus
Braun, United States Immigration
agent; Judge Oscar R. Huntley, of
