BAGWELL POLICE SEARCH 1 FOR BANK CLERK Missing Liberty Bonds in Big Figures Securities Valued at $700,000 Taken From Chicago Bank Chicago, Feb. 26.?The police of the nation tonight were on the look out for William Dalton, 17, $65 a month bank clerk, whose alleged theft of $772,000 worth of Liberty bonds yesterday from the Northern Trust company was made known by j bank officials today. Dalton is believed to have secreted, the bonds about his person when he | went out to lunch yesterday. He had been sorting them in a cage and has not been seen since the noon hour. The theft was the second in this district recently in which a youth ful bank clerk figures, the other be ing at Ottawa, 111., when a 19 year old clerk named Carey, who received $90 a month, attempted to steal near-1 ly $200,000, but was caught and the money recovered. This case started an attack by Sen ator Dial of South Carolina against Judge K. M. Landis, the senator tak :ng exception to a statement the judge made from the bench that bank officers were partly responsible for the theft because they underpaid clerks who were in responsible posi tions. Dalton was known in his neighbor hood as a quiet, home loving, church going boy, whose chief ambition was to become successful in business so that he could provide comforts for his widowed mbther. Ordinarily, bank officials said, Dal ton would not have had anything to do with the bonds. They were tem porary ones, however, and Dalton, with other voung employees, were given the task of sorting the securi ties.

CORNERSTONE LAID IN 1847 IS LOST $1,000:000 Washington Memorial Abndoned After Hamilton Square Ceremonies in New York Years Ago. What happened to the cornerstone of the proposed $1,000,000 Washing ton Monument, which was laid with elaborate ceremonies in what was formerly Hamilton square, in 1847? Within the cornerstone, which was a block of marble five feet square and four feet deep, was a lead box con taining some private papers of Geo. Washington, a directory of the City of New York, a survey of the grounds coins and newspapers of the day. It also contained the constitution and by-laws of the Washington Monu ment Association, which was the author of this ambitious scheme to raise a monument to the first Presi dent such as the world had never seen before. More than thirty thousand persons, >r almost one-tenth of the entire nnrilllotirm fVo r\f VnrV I V.1VJ V?x assembled on and around the grounds between Third and Fifth av enues, from Sixty-sixth to Sixty-sev enth street, to witness the ceremonies The newspapers were agog with enthusiasm for this monument, which was to be higher than any other ever reared, so high as to the first object to greet the eye of the traveller en tering New York harbor and the last upon which his gaze would rest on departure. Its structure was to have been in the form of a tower, of which the lower floors were to house a library, a portrait gallery, a trophy room and an autograph room. Perhaps no other similar under taking has been accorded tfte same unanimity of approval, and perhaps few failed so dismally of achievement The subject of a monument had been n the public mind since 1833, when the Washington Monument Associa tion, composed of public officials and influential merchants, received a char ter from the New York Legislature to solicit funds for the new undertaking. Five hundred thousand dollars was the amount at first believed sufficient for the projected monument, but by fore the plans were finally agreed upon it was realized that at least $1,000,000 would be required. The first dozen years brought scarcely more money in subscriptions than was needed for the administrative of fice of the association. It was then that an artisan by the, name of Lyons threw his energy into the undertaking. With fervent ora tory he called upon 100,000 to con tribute a dollar a year until the re quired amount had been reached. In a short time $80,000 was subscribed, and it was believed feasible to begin work on the construction. The required land had been donat ed by the city, and on Independence Day, 1847, a liberty pole was erected on the spot. It was not until three months later that the ' corner stone was laid. October 19, the anniversary day of the surrender of Cornwallis to Wash ington, was reserved for that occasion The Governor of New York State, the Mayor of New York city and Federal officials participated in the cere mon-'ps. which were initiated bv a parade, starting at City Hall Park. A large part of the militia of the State, led by Gen. Henry Storms, par ticipated in the parade. The line of march was up Broadway to Union Square, east to Third avenue, and J then north to Sixty-sixth street. War Enthusiasm at Ceremonies In addition to the day being one of historical significance, the time was one of patriotic rejoicing. The Mex ican War was on, and news of the American armies told of continual victories, culminating Sept. 14 with the capture of Mexico City by Gen. Scott. Tmnaccinnorl nrat.nrv was the order of the day. And then the heavy cor nerstone with the lead box, was set in place. On the stone was the fol lowing inscription: "This cornerstone of the monu ment to the memory of George Wash ington was laid with appropriate ceremonies on the 19th day of Octo ber, 1847, the anniversary of the sur render of Cornwallis to George Wash ington at Yorktown, A. D. 1871 under the auspices and direction of the Washington Monument Society of the city of New York." It was as if with the laying of the cornerstone the enthusiasm of both the public and the authors of the scheme suddenly died. Virtually no more money was raised, and not an other stroke of work was done oh the MORE DEATHS FROM AUTOS THAN IN RAIL ACCIDENTS Washington, Feb. 26.?Automobile accidents in the United States claim ed 1,474 more victims in 1919 thanj were killed in accidents on American railways, according to comparative figures compiled by the Southernj Railway System from official reports recently issued by the Census Bu reau and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Deaths from automobile accidents j showed a total of 7,969, an increase j of 4414 over 1918 for the Census Bu-| reau"s registration area, comprising | about 80 per cent of the country's to- \ tal population. Sixty-six of the large' cities had 3,808 deaths from auto:mo-j bile accidents. In railway accidents the report, of j the I iterstate Commerce Commission j shown that 6,495 persons were killed j this ligure being lower than for any j previous year since 1898 when the i nurnt>er of persons using the railways j j and employed on thepa was much! | smaller than in 1919. In the total for 1919 are included 2,553 trespassers and 1,882 other persons, not either passengers of employees, of whom a large percentage were the victims of collisions between automobiles and railway trains. These figures show that while the persistent effort of the railways to eliminate accidents has been produc tive of splendid results in decreased casualties, the number of deaths from automobile accidents is growing year by year. The figures for 1919 are the latest available as those for 1920 have not yet been completed. Thirteen hundred cars of boxed apples, costing $1,000,000, were froz en in shipment last year. monument. Hamilton Square was later cut into lots, part of it sold by the city and the rest used for what is now Hunter College. As for the fate of the massive cor nerstone with its lead box nothing is known. Perhaps future archaeol ogists, having exhausted the myste ries of other Lands, will turn their at tention to this one and solve it.?

[?R & REESE himself as desiring a continuation of the present naval building pro gram without substantial reduction. No reference was made by Mr. Harding in his letter, it was stated to the disarmament proposal of Sen ator Borah, Republican, Idaho. Re publican and Democratic leaders, however, joined in private predic tions that the Borah resolution re questing the president to call a na val disarmament conference of rep resentatives of the United States, Great Britain and Japan would be adopted by the senate, either in the r form of a separate resolution or as a rider to the appropriation bill. Senator Borah is understood to fa vor the latter course. The appropriation bill was pre sented formally during the day in the senate. As reported it carried $496,000,000 against $595,000,000, voted by the house.
