The $700 that was missing had!
i
gone, he admitted in the purchase of
new clothes?suits with long trous-;
ers?for $3 meals in the best hotels i
in Philadelphia, New York and Chi
cago, for -1 tips to waiters and for]
berths in' Pullman cars. There were |
movies and other entertainment. He
was helping pay off employees in
the company's office when he took!
the money "just drew a couple of
years' salary in advance," he told
the police.
"Who wouldn't," he asked. "I was j
getting $8 a week as an office boy in;
the Baldwin Works. They handed me j
$4,300. I had to count it, too, you;
know, and they tell me to take it to \
the paymaster. It was more money j
than I ever took before. It looked:
awful big and it felt big. It had the'
feel of it right in my hand when I j
saw an open door. Well, I blew. |
Who wouldn't?"
First he went to Camden, N. J., j
bought clothes there and then came
to New York. He intended to go!
West and "loaf a bit" but he read;
in the papers he was believed to!
have gone to Spokane where his fa-!
ther was reported dying, so he went,
nnlv as far as Chicaeo. Life there i
palled so he came back to New York
and went to Philadelphia. No one
recognized him there so he returned j
to New York last night and decided |
to chance the West. As he bought
his ticket a detective arrested him. j

ONE BODY TO HANDLE
ALL MONEY BILLS
Washington, Dec. 4.;?All appro
priation bills will be handled by one
committee in the House during the
coming session, it was decided today
by the committee on committees. A
number of Republican leaders, how
ever, expressed the opinion at the
conference that the innovation
would result in a tangle of appropri
ation legislation.
Representative Mann, of Illinois,'
chairman of the committee on com-j
mittees, said it might be found thatj
the enlarged appropriaion committee j
was unable to handle all of the bills.
In that event, he added, the old or-!
der probably would be restore J, for J
this session.
Before adjour imen". of Congress
last June tne nouse aeciaea to en
large the appropriations committee
from twenty-one to twenty-five
members with authority to handle
all expenditures measures. The com
mittee on committees met today to
determine the personnel of the en
larged commitee, but was unable to
reach the matter of selections due
to debate over the feasibility of
the new plan. Another conference
will be held tomorrow.

GREEKS WORRY j
OVER FINANCES '
Athens, Dec. 5.?Athens outward
ly is calm, but there is a strong un
dercurrent of restless apprehension.
The qabinet conferred until a late
hour tonight and the ministers ex
pressed the hope that with the re
turn of Constantine an accomplished
fact the diplomatic and financial
difficulties of Greece might later be
smoothed over. One of these latter
is that France may at the end of
December call her large loans to
Greece, which in the past year and a
half she has renewed every three
months.
Reorganization of the cabinet
with either Nicholas Stratos, former
minister of marine, or Demetrios
Gounaris, at present the war minis-1
ter, as premier, has been proposed,'
but in view of the present state of j
the public mind no change in the,
ministry is anticipated. Premier
Rhallis visited the regent this after
noon in the expectation of re
ceiving comforting words from Con
stantine, whose messages go dirftct1
to Tatoi. "We've got no money and
we must have credit," exclaimed the
premier, when he found no advices
had been received from the former
monarch.
When the allied ministers tonight
formally presented the supreme
council's note concerning measures
to be taken in the event of Con
statine's return, the streets about
the foreign ministry were blocked,
i crowds filtering in from Constitu
tion square. They shouted: "Work,
work," when the Italian minister,
Signor Montagna, arrived, the peo
1 pie regarding him favorably because
of his reported friendliness to
Greece.
j Later the crowds proceeded to the
war ministry, which has been
I crowded for days with ex-officers
and others seeking reinstatement
and carrying en a demonstration
lasting an hour. The city's lights had
purposely been darkened and when
a slight rain fell the crowds strag
gled down University street and
passed the American embassy,
where they were joined by cigarette
makers in the cry for work.
The financial situation is most s&
ious and this afternoon M. Gounaris1

Greece. No foreign money is per
mitted to go out of the bank, and it
has been suggested that money to
pay the army and government offi
cials might be obtained by printing
new notes, despite the baneful ef- j
feet such action would have on ex-.
change. This would necessitate aibro
| gation of the gareement of 1897, by
which Greece's finances are under
[ Franco-British control and without
j whose consent no bank notes may b?
issued.
