For Aerial Navagation Prof. Bell Thinks Pro blem Will Never Be Solved by Baloons London, Oct. 30.—Prof. Alex. Graham Bell leaves for America today, where he will continue his experiments in aerial navigation. Prof. Bell said, "I dont believe that the great problem of aerial navagition will ever be solved by balloons. While you may successfully navigate a balloon in light currents, it i.s obvious that any floating body lighter than air is at the mercy cf the winds. [Such a body cannot carry the motive machinery of great power. It is little more than a toy. I have been experimenting several years at my laboratory although I never ac tually carried my theories into practice. The theoretic results I reach will be in time published in book form. I believe the problem of aerial navigation will be solved, but not by the use of balloons." Don't Want Annexation St. Thomas, D. W.

Cook, who is under arrest on the charge of passing bogus checks bearing the name of M. L. Muhlman, treasurer of the republican campaign committee. Cook, it is alleged, induced William J. Wright to deposit checks purporting t» represent $1100 to his account in the Mount Morris bank. These bore Muhlman's name. The committee not desiring to let the amount of subscriptions be generally known, had arranged to cash the checks in different banks. Wright gave Cook $1100 in cash and a few days ago the prisoner appeared again with Si700 in checks. The bank officials began an investigation and found the checks had been forged.

No Terms With a Thief The Bank Officials Hope to Recover Some of the /Money. New York, Oct. 26.—The capture of the defaulting note teller Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., has been officially left in the hands of Captain Mc- Cluskey, chief of detectives, It is said that a reward would probably be offered today by the bank. Developments this morning indicate that the whereabouts of Cornelius L, Alvord, the absconding note teller of the First National bank, are known both to his attorneys and to the bank officials. That no warrant for his arrest has been asked for has been due to the efforts of his friends. Negotiations are now on with the bank officials in their behalf that will lead, it is said, to the restoration within a few days of almost half the amount stolen. Alvord's arrest would be an immediate bar to restitution on his part, ln the meanwhile the man, who is said by intimate friends to be in his hous at Mount Vernon, and by others to be somewhere in the vicinity, is un- under close surveillance by detectives. His escape is said to be an impossibility. Alvord is said to have had an enormous sum in ready cash when he took his departure from the bank, This, with his real,) estate holdings, several blocks of securities, his wife's diamonds, his horses and livery and bis interests in several New York business concerns are under considerations in the negotiations between Alvord's friends and those from whom he stole. One of the abscondersTriend's asserts that Alvord's holdings, when realized on, will make him only $100,000 to the bad on the amount of his defalca- cation- counsel Baker Denlea II. Fisher A. Baker, counsel for the bank, and one of its directors, said today that there was no truth in a report that Alvord had gone to his home last night or that the bank officers knew where he was. Mr. Baker was asked: "Is it true that the bank is trying to make an arrangement with Alvord through Lawyer Miller lor the return of a portion of the stolen money?" "We would be foolish not to recover all we can, but would not think of compromising with a thief." "Why has not the bank asked for a warrant for Alvord's arrest?" "I won't say that a warrant has not been requested." HIIJH nun Hale of a Portion or Lord Bos. '* g BLUE CROSS WILL 5ft»*»«0 BE FOUND IN THIS SQUARE. SUBSCRIPTION AKI' PAY/.BLK IN ADVANOE.
