3 Erwin J. Wider, the cashier of the in Manhattan, who stole securities worth $680,000, and who was indicted, charged with stealing from the bank 100 shares of the stock of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, valued at 400, pleaded guilty before Judge O'Sullivan in the Court of General Sessions, in Manhattan, to-day. He was remanded to the Tombs prison for sentence on August 10. The only sentence that Wider can get on 1 this, indictment, which is for grand larceny, offense, is an indeterminate sentence of from five to ten years. There are, however, several other charges against the cashier, and between now and the day of sentence the district attorney will try to have him indicted on some of these charges.

He can then be sentenced, as a first offender, on each of the indictments. Wider took matters very coolly, He sat at a window in the prosiners' pen while Judge O'Sullivan disposed of thirteen other cases. When his case was called he stepped to the bar and Clerk Spinney told him that he had been indicted on a charge of grand larceny, and asked him how he pleaded. "Guilty," responded Wider. Wider's pedigree was then taken, and in resvonse to the questions put to him by a court officer, he said that he was thirty years old; born in Germany, where his mother still lives; resided at 21 Mount Hope place, the Bronx; business was cashier; was married; never before convicted of any crime, and was a moderate user of alcoholic beverages.

Assistant District Attorney Delehanty then asked that sentence be postponed for a few days and Judge O'Sullivan set the day for August 10. While waiting in the pen to be taken back to the Tombs, Wider denied the story that he had made a profit in his cotton speculation and had money hidden away. Smoking a cigar and walking up and down his narrow quarters, the cashier answered the questions put to him by the reporters in the most matter-of-fact way. When asked the direct question if he had made money in his cotton speculation, he answered: "That is a fool report." He then became a little excited and spoke with a German accent, which ie not noticeable in his quiet moments, and continued: "How could I make money? There has been a bear market since January in cotton and like a fool, was bulling the market. The books of the brokers will show this to be true.

I wish I had made money." One reporter asked Wider If it was not true that he had "salted" away two or three hundred thousand dollars of the money he got from the bank for the reason that the books of the brokers did not balance with the amount he is charged with taking from the bank. "That is not true," replied Wider. wish now that I had. Do you think I would be here if I had 'salted' that amount. I would have had good lawyers and fought the case all the way through.

If I had kept one -half the money I could have compromised with the bank and I would not be here--but what's the use of talking about it. Wall Street got it all: neither I nor my family have any, and I am here behind the bars, and that is the best evidence that I am telling they Wider truth." was then taken back to the Tombs, where he will remain until he is brought into court to be sentenced or to plead to another indictment.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE ALEX. CAMPBELL MILK Co. Beginning Monday, August 8th, and until further notice, the price of our standard dairy milk in glass jars will be nine (9) cents per quart. In making this announcement we wish to extend to every patron of this Company our sincere thanks for the loyal support given to our efforts to place before them the highest quality of milk, protected in every stage from producer to consumer by methods which an experience of nearly fifty years, aided by scientific knowledge, has proved to be necessary in order to deliver an absolutely pure and wholesome article. It may be interesting to know that Mr.

Alex. Campbell, the President of this Company, inaugurated the glass bottle for the delivery of milk. This was a radical departure and was followed by the erection of the first creamery in the United States for the bottling and shipment of milk in glass. Such a great innovation met with much opposition at the time from those who adhered to the old method of service, but it proved to be the initial movement for raising the milk industry to a higher plane, and its almost universal adoption at the present day has shown the wisdom of this step. In our effort to supply a perfect article under ideal conditions, we are satisfied with only the first place, and the quality of our goods, combined with the efficiency of our service, as attested by your continued and the ever-increasing patronage, establishes our right to that position.

ROBBED BRIDE AND GROOM They Slept on Coney's Sands, With Sad Results. Honeymoon Ends Disastrously for Davis, Who Loses Watch, Wallet and His Panama. A newly married couple left their home in Amesbury, Massachusetts, last week to come to York on their moon. They arrived here on New. "Saturday and, after seeing the sights in the great Metropolis, decided to take in Coney Island.

They were charmed with the rides and other sensations there and during the evening sat on the beach to rest. Tired out by their long trip and the excitement of the day, they were overcome with drowsiness and fell asleep in each other's arms. It was daylight when they awoke and arose to the beach tenantless. The couple, Perly, P. Davis, and his his wife, Elizabeth Peterson Davis, felt greatly refreshed after their sleep and decided to breakfast.

The husband felt in his pocket for his watch but great was his astonishment when he found it wasn't there. He remembered looking at it the night before and making sure of placing it back in his pocket. It was fastened to his vest with a gold chain and that was also gone. Then he felt for his pocketbook, which contained $33, and that had disappeared. Anxiously he looked at his wife to see if she had played some joke on him, but she became very much frightened at the look on his face and asked him if he was ill.

Then he told her that his watch and pocketbook were gone, also his new Panama hat. They reported their situation to the police and the latter promised to investigate, but no money or watch has come back. Wit no funds to tide them over until their families could be communicate with the bride and bridegroom were taken to the Coney Island Rescue Home, where they will remain until funds reach them.

ALL L. I. CITY TELEPHONES SILENT SINCE LAST NIGHT Cable Connection Under Newtown Creek Broken by Dredging Co. CONNECTION CUT OFF AT ONCE Lift Bridge Over Creek Up From 7 P.M.

to 7 A.M.-Small Boat Owners' Rich Harvest. Long Island City has been practically cut off from civilization ever since 7 o'clock last night, when the entire telephone system went out of commission. It is not thought possibly that even partial service will be resumed until late this evening. In addition to this, the lift bridge across Newtown Creek was kept open all last night and until 7 o'clock this morning, causing a great deal of inconvenience to the many thousands of persons who have to make use of the bridge during the night. Owners of beets made a good profit by ferrying people across for 5 cents apiece.

All this trouble is due to the fact that the Morris-Cummings Dredging Company started in to dredge Newtown Creek last night. They commenced work on the east side of the lift bridge, and about the first thing done was to bring to the surface three huge telephone cables. There was no indication of any cable crossing, and the dredgers were entirely unaware of their presence there. This immediately broke connections, and since then Long Island City has been absolutely out of touch with Brooklyn, Manhattan and other points. These cables, each of them containing 300 wires, pass under the creek to Vernon avenue, where they come up and the various wires separate to connect with different points of Long Island City and vicinity.

As, soon as it was informed of the break, 'the telephone company sent men to the scene. They quickly grasped the serious nature of the accident. Today the creek is crowded with tugboats and rowboats of the telephone company, which are trying to replace one of the cables So that partial service may be started by nightfall. In Long Island City everything is at a standstill. Very little is being conducted, as the telephone service is a necessity.

There is practically a holiday for the city. The dredging company had received permission from the city to have the lift bridge kept open from 7 o'clock in the evening until 7 in the morning, while the men were at work dredging near there, but there had been no notification given residents, and the closing of the bridge to traffic came as a big surprise. One of the busiest times for this bridge is in the evening, and when the many thousands who wanted to get across found it 'impossible, they began to look for other means. Then the owners of rowboats came to the rescue-that is for a slight compensation. Five cents a person was the fare charged.

This means of crossing was better than none, but it was very inconvenient. On account of the many factories along the creek, its waters are full of oil, mud and chemicals of all sorts, and although the creek is only about a quarter of a block wide, even this short journey So close to the slimy water was most objectionable. It was impossible for women to cross without getting their dresses wet and dirty. The dredging company 1s doing its work entirely at night, SO the bridge was opened to the public again this morning. However, the experience was not a pleasant one, and residents com Long Island City are making many complaints about the carelessness of the authorities in allowing the bridge to be closed to the public without proper notification to those most concerned.

MUNICIPAL BATH HOUSE TO HAVE ROOF GARDEN New Plans Provide Space 400 Feet Long and 75 Feet Wide for Public Use.

A SERIES OF BAND CONCERTS. Flower Garden, Tables, Easy Chairs and Refreshments to Be Provided at Cost Price. The plans for the municipal bath house at Coney Island have been changed so as to provide for a roof garden on the top of the building. The change was made at the suggestion of Borough President Steers and Superintendent Howard Woody of the Bureau of Public Buildings and Offices. The contract for the erection of the building will be advertised in a few days, and it is predicted that before the end of the month soundings will be made for locating the piles on which the building will rest.

According to Superintendent Woody the roof garden will be the largest of its kind in the city. It will be 400 feet long and 75 feet wide. Shelter and shade will be provided by a series of awnings. The roof garden will more than make up for the loss of the stretch of beach which will be required as a site for the building. This fact, in Mr.

Woody's opinion, disposes of the arguments of the opponents of the plan that women and children will be deprived of a fresh air spot by the erection of the bath house. President Steers, under whose Jurisdiction the bath house will be, intends to make arrangements with Park Commissioner Kennedy to provide daily band concerts on the roof garden. If this arrangement cannot be made with the Park Department President Steers will apply to the Board of Estimate for a separate appropriation to pay for the band concerts. The roof of the municipal bath house President Steers has planned to make a veritable flower garden. There will be all kinds of shrubs, palm trees and plants of various kinds.

There will be tables and easy chairs, where the tired mother and her children may enjoy the rest she seeks and at the same time enjoy the benefits of the fresh sea air. Attendants will be provided to look after the little ones. President Steers also proposes to interest some of the charitable organizations in the project. Fresh milk will be sold at a cent a glass. Sandwiches and other light edibles will also be at the disposal of the frequenters of the roof garden at cost price.

The building will rest on 7 feet high. President Steers also proposes to use this vacant space. It will be picturesquely adorned with shrubs and plants and benches will be located at convenient places, so that visitors may enjoy the fresh sea air in comfort and in the cool shade of the bath house building.

GRAND TRUNK STRIKESETTLED Famine Conditions Were Near at Hand in Many Places Owing to Poor Freight Facilities.

Montreal, August 3-The settlement of the strike on the Grand Trunk Railway, including the Central of Vermont, through the medium of the Department of Labor, was received to-day with satisfaction through the territory served by the 4,000 miles system, especially in the smaller towns and villages which upon the Grand Trunk alone for depended, material for their factories. Famine conditions were close at hand in many places and reports of closing factories were coming from all parts of Quebec and Ontario. It appears to be the consensus of opluion that the 5,000 striking conductors and trainmen would have done better to have accepted the award of the board of conciliation appointed under the Lemieux Act, which reported six weeks ago. While it is true that the men have gained two important points- an advance of 18 per cent, retroactive to May 1, and what is practically the Eastern Association scale from January 1, 1912-these are overshadowed by the right of the railroad to retain the strikebreakers in service.

J. J. Curran, pastor of Holy Saviour Church. The news that the President Catholic, would be the guest of Father Curran became known last night and early this morning groups of people gathered about the residence. John Mitchell, who is also the guest of Father Curran and who spent many months in WilkesBarre while directing the big strike 'of 1902, pointed out to Colonel Roosevelt the many places of interest in the Wyoming Valley.

This is Colonel Roosevelt's second visit to Wilkes- Barre. He came here In August, 1906, as the guest of the National Convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society. Father Curran is a national officer of the organization and he was instrumental in having the President visit here at that time. Since then a warm personal friendship has sprung up between the two men, so when Colonel Roosevelt decided to maker a second visit to Wilkes- Barre there WAS no question as to whose guest he would be. Colonel Roosevelt started out at 10 o'clock to spend the day among the miners in the Susquehanna Valley.

With John Mitchell and Father Curran. he drove up the valley, headed for Pittston, ten miles away. The day's itinerary included stops at Pittston, Kingston, Plymouth and Nanticoke, the latter three places all small mining towns between Wilkes-Barre and Pittston. Colonel Roosevelt did not get to bed until after 1 o'clock this morning, but he said that he was going to get up early. That meant 6:30 or 7 o'clock, which, in the opinion of his hosts, was a good deal too early.

So the Rev. Father John A. Lawrence tiptoed into the Colonel's bedroom, appropriated his shoes and hid them. When he heard the Colonel stirring, he told him that his shoes had been spirited away, and that they would not be returned until 8 o'clock. Roosevelt resigned himself to conditions and slept another hour.

He said that he hoped to be able to meet the miners and their families today just as he did yesterday as a plain citizen. Someone asked him if he was going down into a mine. "No, I shall not," he said. "I have made several trips in mines, and I can learn more on this occasion by meeting the people in their homes. I am COT cerned just now more particularly with the social life of the people than with the conditions under which they In Pittston, he said, he was to visit the Italian mining settlement.

In Kingston and Plymouth he would talk with the Slavs and Hungarians. In Nanticoke he was to meet miners of various naItionalities. Colonel Roosevelt will leave WilkesBarre by train late to-night for New York. He expects to stop only a short time in New York before, going on to Oyster Bay. A Satisfying Food.

Appetite is Nature's signal for fuel and repairs. Healthy appetite calls for the simple food elements that supply the natural requirements. Healthy appetite is satisfied when the proper kind and amount of food is taken into the body at stated intervals. But the wiles of the modern chef and caterer have created in most of us a false and often unnatural appetite which leads into all the different degrees of indigestion, dyspepsia, -food insanity. Grape Nuts is a satisfying food -it is composed of the natural elements to satisfy the natural appetite and restore order in the digestive machinery which may have been thrown out of gear by improper though often "fashionable" foods.

The crisp, firm, "nutty" granules of Grape-Nuts make honest mastication necessary. Its wholesome flavour makes it appetizing, and the albumens, carbohydrates and Potassium Phosphate from the whole wheat and barley, makes it a satisfying food--both to the sense of taste and to the bo needs. Ten days' trial will convince any one that "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts. Postum Cereal Battle Creek, Mich..
