iovernor Warner j
Draws Nine Counts
l Against Himself
Formal Charges Against Qlaalsr
y As Aptly Appropriate to the
Case of Bank Commissioner
Zimmerman. I
■ Glazier was president.
H The serving of these formal charges is a necessary step in
S', fpreing the resignation from office of Mr. Glazier, which may be
tptfcmanded by the governor upon the .refusal of the treasurer to
IrajlUJce answer and, again, upon his failure to make that answer sat-
HfMftctory.
||u In taking which step the governor, having found the horse
JpPitolen, now proceeds to lock the stable door.
'Sb*.' We might say, rather, that the governor saw the horse led out.
| And there isn’t a count brought against the state treasurer now
fnp»at does not reflect upon the governor himself, and not one that
not as aptly be brought against his bank commissioner, who
4 has not yet been asked to resign.
'4 Let us look over the counts and see if we are not right:
! First: That, as state treasurer, you are guilty of malfeasance In
IfL that you deposited a large amount of the public money* of the eta e
M under your control as such treasurer In the Chelsea Savings bank.
If K of Chelsea. Mich., to the amount of $685,587.79. and that $-93,505.23
'I of these moneys were deposited in said bank between the
■fl& of January and the 27th day of November, 1907, during all of which
t l | f time you were a stockholder In and director of said bank ana presi-
K|? : dent thereof, the deposits so made being In violation of Sec. 1201 of
the compiled laws of 1897.
|| Which your banking commissioner knew, governor, and which
MEmi, also, must have known months before the crash of the Glazier
S'/iifeank.
* Third: That you were guilty of gross neglect of duty In that you
did not make any effort to collect of the Chelsea Savings bank, the
balance due the state from said bank January 1, 1907, which balance
wa s the sum of *492,062.56; and further, in continuing to deposit the
public moneys In the bank without ample security being given there
for (especially In view of the condition of said bank).
F'f’ Could the governor more severely arraign Bank Commissioner
; E&immerman, who, all during 1907, was possessed of the facts em
(j Ijfbodied in the third count* to the point even of the bank’s unsound
. ness ?
4 Seventh:- That you, as state treasurer, are guilty of malfeasance
Ku In that you dapoalted In the Chelsea Savings bank during the years
1906 and 1907 large sums of the public moneys; that you continued
v-j making such deposits until November 27, 1907, when as state treas
urer you knew said deposits were Insecure and that the state had no
jMpifth- sufficient or ample protection on account thereof.
Does not your bank commissioner again stand here indicted,
governor?
f Ninth: That by reason of your gross negligence of duty and
malfeasance In your office as state treasurer, the state is now unable
4 I to obtain the use of Its funds to the amount of $600,000 and upwards.
BP and la threatened with the loss of several thousands of the same.
j;l With proper action at the proper time, governor, could not the
| State have been saved the threatened loss of these thousands?
| We wonder whether the governor went over these charges
£>#ftrefully with himself, and whether the words “neglect of duty,”
11 to often repeated, struck him with any particular significance ?
I We wonder if the governor gave a thought to the possibility
| 4 of neglect of duty on his own part in having failed to fire his bank
I gs- commissioner, whose own neglect of duty stands out so prominently
I ?■' So the charges that confront State Treasurer Glazier?
When Mr. Glazier is well enough for the personal service of
if these charges he will be asked to step down and out, and will no
jloubt do so.
1 But the governor will not have satisfied the people of his state
1 that he has done his full duty in this matter.
1* It required the crash of the Chelsea bank to awaken Gov.
5 Warner to action he should have taken in the state treasurer’s case
IP’
I long before he did.
■ If he continues Bank Commissioner Zimmerman in the respon-
IriiWe trust he holds, there is another crash to fall upon his ears as
P|4ome tumbling down the walls- of a public confidence which made
Sg'.pm the highest officer of his state under an oath he will not have
Kir leapt with his work half done.
Sad as is the downfall of Glazier, sadder still in the light of
II • {fie grave physical condition of the dishonored official, the charges
K r that await the passing of the critical hour at the sick room door
3 fciuit appeal to that sense in us which dwells upon the ludicrous.
I Glazier, strong enough to face the charges his conduct in office
lias brought upon him, will go out of office. Zimmerman, with
the governor'* courage and appreciation of his duty at normal only,
ft trill follow him out.

St ° ry : * ' . | Storm {
WERNER balauced '
li I l isßom flßure on her bicy-
II J cle, and, poising one foot on
the curbstone —to the obvious
distraction of a good-looking
man adorning the railings 10 yards
distant —gazed with mock docility Into
the anxious, loving, brown eyes of a |
little, silver-haired old lady, whose
dainty features and sea-shell color
ing betrayed her as the mother of the
winsome face opposite her.
“Now do be careful. Gertrude. I
don’t like you going that road alone.
And that hill coining back.”
*‘Ob, you worrying old darling! *
cooed the girl. ‘Til walk my bike j
down the hill. There! Will that do?”
Mrs. Werner nodded, and Gertrude
wheeled her 18 summers In an ele
gant sweep away from the curb. In
no wise Ignorant, though she had
never once glanced his way, of the
worshipful eyes leveled at her from
the man at the rail.
The mother watched the slim, grey
garbed figure till it was lost in the
ciush of the carriages that at 4 o'clock
In the bright February sunshine
thronged the marine parade of St.
I Leonard a.
As she turned back to the promen
ade her gate fell on the young man
by the rail, and next moment she hau .
moved forward, smiling, and with an
extended hand.
"It Is Mr. Ungard,'’ she said. !
"When did you return? It must,be a
good many years since I saw you.”
"About four or five* I think. Mrs.
Werner,” replied the man. “Surely
that young lady you were speaking to
is not the little girl I used to tease so
dreadfully?”
"Yea. that was Gertrude,” said Mrs.
Warner gently aglow with pride. "She j
has gone off to the farm above to
bring me some fresh eggs, which the
stupid people forgot to send this morn
ing. She has changed from the ugly
duckling’ you used to call her, hasat
she?”
"She’s a vision.” said Mr. Llngard
very emphatically.
"Don’t you think.” be added with a
fine air of lngenuousuess. "that it
would be a good Idea if I got my bike
and pedaled after her?”
"Oh. will you, really? I should be
so glad.” agreed Mrs. Werner warm- ,
ly, "I am really rather nervous about
her.”
••I'll go and get it.” *aid Mr. Lin
gard. “I’ll catch up to her in no
time.”
He Ifnd reckoned, however, without
'the fair pedallst In front. Gertrude
rather prided herself on the breaking
imaginary records, and once up the
stiffeat bit of hill that leads on to the
common, she had scorched for all she
was worth, and waa at the farm pre
paring to return by the time Harry
Ungard had only Birnftounted the hill.
“It has grown quite cold,” she said,
as. accompanied by the farmer’s wife,
she left the pleasant hearth, with Its
blazing logs, and stood at the door
way.
“It’s the mist, miss.” said Mrs
Fromme. "It Is coming up fine and
thick.”
It was. with a vengeance, for even
during th*> few minutes she had been
ffl the farm, the sea-fog had crept up
the glen, and lay now ao palpable and
clammy that It seemed to • have
changed all the scene, lately ao gay
and vivid with springtide. Into a
world petrified benenfh some mystery
<SF iflenro:
"What are those dogs doin’ 4 *’ cried
,Mra. Fromme as the sound of growl*
KING KAZOOKS!
ing ami snarling penetrated the mus- j
fling fog.
“Oh, the wretches!” cried Gertrude
suddenly forward. “They
are tearing _-to~ pieces nxj bicycle."
It was a rueful wreck of punctured |
and rendered tires that met her view. |
“Oh, miss, what can 1 say?” walled ,
the farmwlfe pleadingly.
“Never mind,” replied Gertrude, j
“It's very annoying, but it can't be
helped now.”
“And Tom back to market and won't
be home with the cart till night.’’ j
went on Mrs. Frorume, “If I couldn't
just kill them there dogs."
"Indeed, you mustn’t," declared Ger
trude. “They didn't know any better.
As for getting back. I'll walk. I know
the clifT footpath perfectly well.”
“It is very misty,” said Mrs.
From me anxiously.
“Oh, I can't lose my way. I cpuld
: find it blindfold.” cried Gertrude. “But
11 must hurry or mother will be wor
ried. Good-bye!”
She waved her hand gaily, and went
off down the foottrack leading into the
glen, whence it emerged to follow the
line of the cliffs, till it gave on to the l
steps leading from the brow of the hill
to the old Ashing village of HalVe.
She had not been gone 10 minutes
when IJngard arrived, and, learning of i
the accident resolved promptly to fol- j
iow her. He was engaged in putting
his bicycle in a shed out of reach of
the dogs, when a sudden clatter of
hoofs was heard from the yard, and
two men rode In and shouted for Mrs.
From me.
"What’s the matter?” asked) Un
gard, with a curious glance at their
uniforms.
“We are out after Nathan Mueller.’
i answered one of the men. “A maniac
and a bad ’un at that."
“What? The man who murdered
his family a few days ago,” asked IJn
gard startled.
"He escaped from the asylum this
forenoon, though, seeing he was
chained hand and foot, ’ow he did 1*
is a fair puzzler. We’ve 20 men out
after him, and we’ve traced him down
to these parts. *’
”Do you mean to say,” cried I.in
gard, with a sudden tightening at his
heart of deadly fear for the frail girl
down there alone in the mist, “that
he’s likely to be here?”
"That’s the idea. He used to live
here, and his madness may drive him
;to old haunts. And he’s got to be
: caught quick, afore he can do more
i harm.”
“Heavens!” cried IJngard. “There’s
a lady gone dow*n the path alone,
i Leave your horses here, and follow
me.”
”My mate'll go along with you. sir.”
said one of them. "I’ve got to get on
along the road."
"Come, then,” cried IJngard, and.
accompanied by a burly warden, he
; sped down the lane. - • -
Meanwhile, Oertrude Werner was
continuing her way through the glen
! blithely unconscious of danger, and
rather enjoying the sense of Isolation
and mystertousness lent to the accus
tomed landmarks by the fog ,
She had arrived at the little foot
t bridge rh»t spanned a freshet ht Vhe
glen and was standing looking down
at the purUng water, when, feeling
suddenly that she was not alone, she
looked up, to see in the bushes further
UP srrwnm, a tmnm pewrWwi at bet.
But what a face! .A fare livid, bru
tal. gloating, with matted tawny beard
and hair, with cheeks "“whose pallor
was intensified by thin threads of blood
that trickled from the thorn-scratched
scars, with eyes Inhuman, devilish,
that seemed to blase out of purpled
orbits, with lips t-bat mouiluul and;
mumbled dreadfully over lnartieulaie
words.
She stood as one paralyzed, unable
to move, to call out, fluttering and
swaying like a deer before the gaping
jaws of a snake. She was conscious
that somewhere out of the great mus- j
fled silence around her there came a
whisper as of her name being called.
She tried to answer, bat her tongue
clove to roof of her mouth, and no
sound came. But the madman, then
in the bushes, had heard the whisper,
too, and suddenly sprang.
She saw the thing coming at her,
leaping high In the air, with broken
chains clanking at his ankles and at
his wrists; but, even as he Jumped,
one of the chains caught in a strug ;
gling briar, and he fell face downward
Into the stream. She saw’ him writhe
whh a dreadful cat-like movement up
j the bank, and then, with one piercing
I shriek, she turned and fled. In her
1 panic and terror taking the longest
path that led on her way horn#.
The thing behind, snarling In baffled
1 frenzy, came after her. leaping from
! point to point like a monstrous ape.
' But for all his agility and demoni&cul
force, he was hampered by the chains
that clanked and roiled against his
legs, and little by little the girl drew
away from him. Up hill and down
dale, moss or clayey slopes, her eyes
turning again and again in numbed
anguish, to rightA«d left, in hope
that help might come out of those aw
ful unclosing walls of mist.
And little by little the tireless ma
niacal energy of the pursuer beg: i to
tell, now- that the first mile of the
three that lay between her and safety
was passed. Before her stretched the
long slope that climbed from the Anal
dip to the top. And the Incline was
stubborn*.the turf sopping with the
mist, add her breath was coming in
flerre. torturing gasps.
She felt that her limbs were getting
each moment more heavy and her
. heart was pumping In little fierce Jerks
I and Jabs that seemed to take her by
the throat and shake her.
She glanced over her shoulder, and
shrieked aloud as she saw that the
I thing w’as gaining on her. running with
that dreadful, baboon-like leap that
made as light of the hill as If it had
been on the flat.
With her shriek the first access of
terror lent her sudden force, and for
a hundred yards she drew away again,
sending up now shrill, panting cries.
Suddenly there came back to her,
mournful and muffled, but Inexpressi
bly cheering,, a long cry.
“Courage!" called someone. “We’re
coming!"
Rhn glanced back, and saw behind
the thing two shapes looming obscure
ly through the mist.
With a little sob she aped on But
her force was spent. /The mist seem
ed suddenly to be shattered Into a
great spray of dancing red points. She
felt herself swaying and lurching. Her
foot slip pod, and. with, a moan of utter
lapotsao. she lay pr»*r*e
Twice she tried to rise, only to fall

horror the gradual ipproit h <>f the ma

curiously remote and froaeb way that
attaches to the shadow of death. Then
the Unspeakable hideousness of It
surged down over her In « vitalizing
flood, and she struggled to her feet and
sped on again.
Hut the maniac, balked a second
time, hurled himself after her, and, '
• lashed by his frenzy, the intervening
space vanished from yards to feet. She
felt the panting of his breatn, and was
! conscious of the hovering of his claw
like hamls.
Then a strong vtdet* called, “Cour
age! It’s over!”
She heard a thud and a scream, and
turned In time to see a burly warden
fell the maniac to earth with a blow
of his cane. Then she collapsed some
how Into the arms of Mngard, but
whether she fainted or not fihe is not
quite sure# though Lin gar and professes
to this clay that at that fearful moment
his wife certainly recognized* him as
the young man by the rails, for whose*
benefit she had that same afternoon
poised a most dainty foot.
THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE
IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Do you believe that the thoughts of i
a person living at a distance of two .
hundred miles will be felt In any way
by or have any effect on the person
thought of? DONALD.
mHK theory of thought transfer
ence. or mental telepathy. Is
an established fact.
That mind can Influence

Is as positive as that meteoric show

event when we attempt to reduce it
to a science.
We do not know yet what are the
necessary conditions to bring the de
sired result.
I have known two people to be com
pletely absorbed In each other, living
only to render mutual happiness.
The man was extremely psychic and K
clairvoyant, and the woman in com
plete sympathy with him. Yet when,
during a separation of a thousand
miles the woman s life was endanger
ed and hung in the balance for many
hours, no slightest warning or impres
sion reached the man.
It required the material wire of the
telegraph to carry the message.
I have known other people, who
were not strongly attached to each oth
er, or especially congenial, to have ex
periences In the line of mental tele

It is a very curious problem, and
most interesting to study, but at pres
