The Transactions on Which'the
Charges are Based.
Collins Says He Has Expected Crim
inal Proceedings.
The "Herald's" Exclusive Publication of
the News Yesterday—Marshal
Gard's Statement of
the Arrest.
Yeßterday's Herald contained the
statement that a complaint had been
sworn to charging President J. W. Col
lins of the California National Bank of
Ban Diego with embezzling $200,000 of
the bank's funds. This, like all other
items of importance, was published ex
clusively by the Herald, the San Diego
papers even not mentioning anything
about the matter.
COLLINS ARRESTED.
An Associated Press dispatch received
yesterday afternoon about the affair,
read as follows:
San Diego, Feb. 24.— J. W. Collins,
president of the California National
Bank, which suspended November 16th,
was this morning arrested by United
States Marshal Card on orders from the
attorney-general at Washington. Col
lins iB charged with embezzlement to
the amount of $200,000. He will have a
preliminary examination before Court
Commissioner Ward. Until yesterday
there were strong hopes that tha bank
would resume, ac 90 per cent of the
stockholders had arranged to meet the
necessary assessments.
MARSHAL GARO's STATEMENT.
United States Marshal Card, who
made the arrest, was asked to send the
Herald a statement of the matter, and
kindly replied as follows:
Special dispatch to the Heiiald.
San Diego, Feb. 24.—1 arrested Col
lins this morning as be was coming out
from breakfast. He was perfectly col
lected and said : "I expected something
like this." I took him to my room and
sent for United States Commissioner
Ward, who fixed hia bail at $50,000,
which ia not yet given; hia presumed
backers being almoßt bankrupted by
the bank failure. G.
CHARGES AGAINST COLLINS.
The charges against President Collins
for embezzlement of the $200,000 em
brace a number of counts baaed on vari
ous transactions. From a person familiar
with the result of Receiver Pauly'a in
vestigations, a statement of tbe alle
gations on which the complaint ia baaed
was obtained yesterday aa follows:
) When' Receiver Pauly commenced hia
investigation be soon diacovered certain
facta that excited hia suspicion. The
bank, you perhapa Know, when it sus
pended, owed its depoaitora something
Over $700,000, and had other liabilities
amounting to $300,000. Hundreds of the
poorer people of San Diego, who were
attracted to the bank because it paid in
terest on deposits, have lost their all.
The criminal charges are based on tbe
facta tbat are aaid to be shown by tbe
booka of the bank ; one of these allega
tion ia that there were many certifi
cated of deposit for thousands of dollars,
issued by the bank to Collins, and which
were negotiated abroad, when at the
very time they were issued there waa
very little if any money in the bank. It
is also asserted tbat collaterals deposited
by debtors to the bank as security for
loans, were taken out and hypothecated
everywhere and anywhere that a loan
could be obtained.
It is further asserted that several de
poaita were received after banking hours,
on the laat day the bank was open for
business. One of these instances waa
the deposit of $1000 of tbe funds of the
fire department by the chief. It is on
such transact ions as these that the
change of embezzling the $200,000 is
based. ,
The city of San Diego loses by the
bank's failure over $30,000 and the
county over $00,000.
The bank's creditors have been expect
ing to see the institution resume, which
is now impossible.
The complaint,which waa iaeued some
days ago by United States Commissioner
Van Dyke of this city, eets forth that
Mr. Collins, while president and director
of the California National bank, did
embezzle $200,000 of the funds of the
bank.
OTHER DETAILS.
It is rumored that further develop
ments just as sensational as Mr.Collina's
arrest are likely to follow.
The warrant for Mr. Collins waa iasued
last week, and since that time has been
in Marshal Gard's possession. On Tues
day night he received orders to make
the arrest, which he did as above stated.
Marshal Gard handled his task with
•discretion and skill, and deserves credit.
Courage, Girl Graduates.
The most recent discovery (regarding
women) is that brains are not incompati
ble with charm and beauty.
1 did not expect, however, to live to
heaa- of a man's rushing after a woman
and insisting upon marrying her on the
strength of one article in a newspaper. •
All young women who have been secret
ly pining to be as clever as they knew
how, but didn't dare for fear of fright
ening off possible suitors, may now take
heart and put their brains as well as their
bodies on exhibition.
Here's the story. About a year ago a
Memphis paper offered a prize of twen
ty dollars to whatsver young woman
wrote the best essay on "The Model
Husband." At Covington, about thirty
miles from Memphis, there lived Miss
Lillian Perry, who is said to be "a typ
ical southern girl," whatever that may
mean. Miss Perry won the prize.
Lo and behold the essay was copied
in a Minneapolis journal, where it was
read by Freemont Reed, a prosperous
citizen, who fell in love with the senti
ments therein expressed. Going to New
York. "Tho Model Husband" pursued
him in metropolitan papers and waylaid
him on his arrival in Chicago.
"This is fate," said Mr. Reed unto
himself. "The fair essayist must be
mine for life!"
Thereupon the ardent Minneapolitan
wrote to Miss Perry and begged for the
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY i 5, 1892
Perry had been very well Drought up
and wouldn"t. Refusal but whets the
appetite of man, and Mr. Reed would
have disgraced his sex had he taken
"no" for an answer. Armed with cre
dentials he again requested an inter
change of letters, and the typical south
ern girl melted iv the glow of such per
sistence.
Of course no man, In" 0? out of his
senses, stops at letters. Mr. Reed found
himself in Covington one day and called.
The lady fulfilled the ideal of her corre
spondent. She in turn discovered a
model husband. On a second visit she
became engaged to Mr. Reed, and last
October made them man and wife.
Courage, girl graduates! The Helen

Paris will set his cap for her. Minerva

Field's Washington.
The Hired Girl Famine.
The one want which civilization is un
able to supply to order is the hired girl.
Minneapolis has almost inexhaustible re
sources in all the necessities, comforts
and luxuries for which man and woman
yearn, except in that dire necessity, that
exceeding comfort and rare luxury—the
efficient, neat, faithful and responsible
hired girl. With an output of clerks
and typewriters equal only to that of
flour and lumber, a profusion of pretty
girls as remarkable as our possession of
lakes and parks, and an overflow of
brainy and useful femininity like unto
that of our proverbial enterprise and
water power, Minneapolis must yet con
fess that in the line of a first class article
of hired girl we have a scarcity approach
ing famine.
But the scarcity does not seem to be
confined to this city. Even in the fertile
country districts of the state, where sen
sible and industrious girls are supposed
to grow up in prolific plenty, there is
the same sharp demand and pitiable
paucity.
Our country readers even advertise in
the want columns in the faint hope that
a housekeeper may be bribed from her
city position to accept a station as queen
of a rural kitchen. In short, the hired
girl famine is general, ft is getting to
be the principal occupation of the mis
tress of a house nowadays to hunt hired
girls, and a necessary qualification of a
wife that she be able to successfully
steal, bribe or persuade away her neigh
bors' girls.
Doubtless a prominent cause of the
hired girl famine is the fact that the girl
who successfully masters the sciences
and arts of cookery and housekeeping is
immediately besieged with matrimonial
offers. Girls of such accomplishments
are never in danger of becoming old
maids. Women of blood and brawn,
health and domestic capacity, will be in
demand as long as the home is the cradle
of civilization.—Minneapolis Tribune.
Two Wealthy New York Women.
Mrs. Russell Sage is a graduate of
Mrs. Willard's school at Troy. She
taught school herself for some years be
fore her marriage in what is now the
Oogentz school, near Philadelphia. She
speaks in a clear, well bred voice, ex
quisitely modulated, but full of dignity
and decision. She is president of the
Emma Willard Alumnae Association of
New York, and shows with affectionate
pride a large photographic portrait of
her preceptress taken from the only en
graved one that ever came near to doing
that eminent lady justice. There is a
warm friendship between Mra. Sage and
Miss Helen Gould, the daughter of Jay
Gould, who in her own youthful way is
every whit as admirable as the elder
lady.
Miss Gould has one of those delicate,
appealing faces that instantly arouse
the instinct of chivalrous courtesy in all
beholders. She, too, has that excellent
thing in a woman, a voice soft, gentle
and low. The railroad magnate's daugh
ter is averse to newspaper mention of
herself, and says so with such gentle
dignity as to' silence any interviewer
who has even the ghost of a conscience.

What Is the Perfect Neck?
What is a perfect neck? This question
was put to many of the well known
authorities on art here by the writer. In
various respects as to coloring they
differed, but as to formation they
thoroughly agreed. A perfect neck must
be twice as long as its circrhnference;
that is a law of nature. If lacking
plumpness of parallel equalities it has
awkward lines and inharmonious ex
pressions. The poise of the neck is not
a matter of cultivation, it is always a
heritage, like the shape of a finger or
the formation of an ankle. You can im
prove on existing curves, but you can
never utterly change them.—New York
Cor. Pittsburg Leader.
A Pathetic Story.
A few Sundays ago the congregation
in Old Market hall, Richmond, waited
for the pastor to open the service. A
woman, clad in deep mourning, rose in
a far end of the large hall and steadily
pressed her way toward the stand in
front of the congregation. The pastor
saw her approaching and stepped to
meet her. As he grasped her hand she
said with faltering voice, "1 want to
give you five cents which my little boy
handed me as he was dying, and said,
'Please give this to help build the Old
Market church,' and," continued his sor
rowing mother, "1 want you to have it,
and 1 want to put it in your hand my
self." And placing the precious coin in
the pastor's hand she retraced her steps
and took her place among the congrega
tion.—Richmond Times.
Crops and Prices.
Housekeeper—Why are apples so high
in price?
Market Man —'Cause they're scarce,

"But the papers said the crop was so
enormous that apples were rotting on
the trees all over the country."
"Yes'ni. That's why they're scarce.
It didn't pay to pick 'em."—New York

Associated Press Dispatches.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Speaker Crisp
called the house to order today.
A resolution waß adopted directing
the committee on labor to investigate
whether the continuance of the eight
hour law and its enforcement is deaira
ble; by what methoda and
to what extent the law has
been evaded; whether amendmenta
are required to provide for the practical
enforcement of the law, whether any
convict labor ia being used by the
United States, or any contractor or sub
contractor, in the construction or repair
of public worka; whether the product
of convict labor ia being furnished to
any department of the government, etc.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the Indian appropria
tion bill.
Smith of Arizona offered an amend
ment to the clause appropriating $40,000
for the purpose of irrigating Indian res
ervations, by providing that thia sum
be deducted from the appropriation
made for the support of Indian
schools eaat of the Miasouri river.
He referred to what he characterized a
"acurrilous attack" made upon certain
members because they deemed it proper
to criticize the Carlisle school. It had
been atated in the attack that members
had been under Catholic influence. He
was not by name alluded to, but he was
opposed to this system of education
without ever having heard a word from
such a source. He opposed the system
of education of Indians in the east, be
cause he knew the system waa a failure.
He withdrew hia amendment for the
present.
Pendleton of West Virginia, whose
name was mentioned in' Superintendent
Pratt's interview, declared that he had
never been app>oached, directly or in
directly, by hint or innuendo, by any
Catholic to induce him to criticize the
Carlisle school. He criticized the school
becauae be believed it proper to do bo.
After disposing of forty-six of tbe
sixty pageß of the bill, the committee
arose.
On motion of Sayres of Texaa the sen
ate amendment to the census deficiency
bill was non-concurred in and a confer-
ence committee ordered.
The house then adjourned, and the
clerk announced a "meeting" of the
Democratic members to be held tomor
row evening, at which the silver ques
tion and the advisability of pressing tbe
free coinage bill before tbe general elec
tions will be the subject of considera
tion.
THE TOPIC OF THE DAY.
Will the Democrat* Have to Go Went
for a Sandarrt-Hearer?
Washington, Feb. 24.—The presiden
tial question still continues to be the
topic of conversation at the national
capital, and various opinions are ex
pressed as to tbe effect the final declara
tion of the Albany convention for Hill
will have. Chairman Springer, of the
ways and means committee, who has
generally been considered heretofore as
an ardent supporter of Cleveland, thinks
now that the action of the Albany con
vention practically rules the ex-presi
dent out of the race. In an interview
today Springer said :
''It would be folly for other states to
insist upon Cleveland's nomination when
his own state has unanimously de
clared for another. If Cleveland's name
is to be presented to the national Demo
cratic cDnvention, it must be presented
by his own state. I have always been a
great admirer of Cleveland, and still
retain much confidence in his ability
and his devotion to the principles of the
Democratic porty. Those friends of his
in New York who propose to hold an
other convention and send another set
of delegates to the national convention
are doing him a great injustice. The
Democratic party is earnestly endeavor
ing to reinstate itself in power. This
can only be done by united and deter
mined action. Bolters will find no favor
with the Democratic masses."
Springer further said tbat in view of
the dissensions in the state of New York
it may be found necessary for the De
mocracy of the other states to select a
presidential candidate elsewhere. In
this event the Democracy of Illinois will
preeent the name of John M. Palmer.
New York, Feb. 24.—The Herald's
Washington man telegraphs: "Tbe
boiled down, doable distilled and clari
fied sentiment at the capitol concerning
tbe Democratic presidential outlook is
that neither Hill nor Cleveland can win
the fight for tbe nominatfon, and tbat
the nominee must come from the west."

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Dubolg-Claggett Contest Farther
Considered.
Washington, Feb. 24.—The senate to
day passed a bill to protect foreign ex
hibitors at the world's fair from prosecu
tion for exhibiting wares protected by
American patents and trade marks.
A resolution was agreed to, calling ou
the president for information as to the
late proceedings to arrange for recipro
cal trade with Canada.
Manderson, referring to what is known
as the "green goods" business, said
there was no law on the statute books to
reach that crime, and introduced three
bills (with a letter from the chief of the
secret service division of the treasury
department) intended to remedy it. The
bills were referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
The senate resumed tbe Idaho election
case, and waa addressed by Stewart in
favor of the cfaim of Claggett.
Stewart suspended his remarks at
3:10 to allow the president's special
message on the Columbian exposition
to be laid before the senate. It was re
ferred to the quadro-centennial commit
tee.
At the close of his speech, Stewart of
fered a reaolution that Claggett have
leave to occupy a seat on the floor of the
senate, pending the discussion of the re
port, and have leave to apeak to the
merita of his claim to a seat. Laid over
until tomorrow.
Turpie addreaaed the senate in sup
port of the majority report—that Duboia
is entitled to the eeat.
The aenate then, after a brief execu
tive aesaion, adjourned.
A WORLD'S FAIR MESSAGE.
The President Makes No Recommenda
tion for an Appropriation.
Washington, Feb. 24.—The preaident
today sent to congress a message, trans
mitting the reports of the world's Co
lumbian commission regarding the work
accomplished and the need of five or
eight million dollars more to further it.
He made no recommendation for an ap
propriation. He tranamitted •■ alao reso

CLUB LIFE FOR WOMEN.
Some of the Duties That Devolve on
Every Member of a Woman's Club.
It has been playfully said that certain
women are "clubable," while others are
not so. Somo women are willing and
able to obey the laws and regulations of
a club and enjoy their membership from
the first moment. Others who are less
social or more thoughtless or willful,
fret against the. necessary restraints
which are imposed upon them, and an
noy their fellow members and themselves
by factious opposition, or by a careless
disregard of the ethical and moral code
which governs all organized bodies.
When we remember the ideas which
until very recently have governed the
education of women, we cannot be sur
prised at this state of things. Our sex
was taught to think that it was its mis
sion and duty to please, and thus to win
privileges which were much more desir-
able—according to the old theory—than
rights. Now, to be capricious—to be
all things by turn and nothing long
was held to bo an important part of the
art of pleasing.
One of the most important functions
Of club life is that of making women
take a serious view of one and another
and of themselves, and of banishing
from their minds the old and false idea
that capricious irresponsibility was an
essential part of feminine nature. 1 do
not mean to say that many women now
consciously hold this theory; but they
are still more or less governed by it, al
though they would probably be surprised
if one should tell them so. Tho leaven
of an old idea does not lose its power at
once, but dies out very gradually.
The reasoning powers of our sex are
not yet fully developed, becauso they
have, until recently, received little ex
ercise, ft results from theso two causes
that women who are new to club mem
bership—and some, perhaps, who are
not new to it—are occasionally illogical
in their behavior: they blame other mem
bers for carrying out the laws of the
organization, and perhaps do not even
take the trouble to find out what those
laws are I
It should be the first duty of the new
member to "read, mark, and inwardly
digest" the constitution or rules of the
body to which she has united herself,
and to refrain from all factious opposi
tion thereto. The government of a free
club—like that of a free country—"de
rives its power from the consent of the
governed." It is certainly desirable that
reforms and changes should be made
from time to time, and every member
should be at liberty to express her opin
ion fully and freely—at the right time,
and in the right place.
Club life teaches women that higher
politeness which does away with insin
cerity, and shows them how to express a
difference of opinion with frankness,
and yet with courtesy. Thus, if the
chairman of tho body has made a hasty
decision or an unfair ruling, the woman
who is familiar with tho workings of tho
club will appeal, in a courteous manner,
from the decision of the chair; whereas
the new member would, under the same

ment. and say afterward to her friends
that she thought she had been treated
unfairly. In other words, she will go
away with a grievance from a mistaken
notion of politeness. This conduct is
not in accordance with club etiquette,
which frowns upon grievances—and
frowns also upon undue or unfair ex :
ercise of authority on the part of the
governing power.
fn a societj* which hopes to do good
work and promote the happiness of Its
members there should always l)e a
strong esprit dv corps, aud tho members
should avoid criticising each other or the
club, especially when talking to the

An American Lady's Kntorprise.
An American lady, a Californiaa art
ist, had the proud distinction of being
the first to enter the pit- for the opening
performance of "Henry VIII" at the Ly
ceum. Asked how she accomplished this
feat, she replied: "I and a friend went
with our camp stools and took our places
next the door at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. We were provided with a volume
of an American magazine, a sketch book,
writing paper and a fountain pen, carica
tures of Henry Irving and much pa
tience. A newspaper spread under the
feet and a Japanese muff warmer, with
sandwiches and a bottle of wine, kept us
comfortable. Two ladies were the next
comers, and shortly a crowd began to
collect. Real amusing it was, but not
very elegant.
"After about two hours Mr. Bram Sto
ker came and had a look at us, said the
barrier should be put up and cheered our
liearts by telling us that tea would be
.served from the neighboring public
house. A newspaper man enlightened
our neighbors on tbe misery and immo
rality in the Bowery at New York. Fi
nally 1 mustered up courage to say, 'Guess
you didn't see many Americans there.'
•No,' he was forced to reply, at which 1
smiled triumphantly. At last at 7 o'clock
we were rewarded for our patience by
getting seats in the front row. The play
was superb, and the audience—well,
every one looked as if he had done some
thing."—London News.
How New York Women Walk.
Why will not women be at least natu
ral in their gait, if art cannot teach them
to do better than amble and mince and
shamble and strut? The feminine meth
ods of locomotion seen on Broadway and
Fifth avenue are unnatural enough to be
agonizing. If naturally ungraceful in
walking—and walking well is a native
gift—why, be at least graceful and fully
at ease. But to be ungraceful, so that
every onlooker sees you are miserable
and long to walk some other way, is a
public infliction.—New York Cor. Savan

north at about 11:30 Tuesday night, and
kept up for fully a minute. The old
timer felt like be was at
home, but we learn of several
sojourners among us who quaked for a
considerable time after the "temblor*
bad passed on. No damage was done.
Not an ounce of plastering was thrown
off from any building, and not even a
single rattle of a dish was heard.
T. B. Atkinson, deputy sheriff, and
H. T. Bingham, constable, captured*
horse and buggy and man yesterday on
a description telephoned by the sheriff's
office. He —the man—was wanted in
Los Angeles for stealing the horse and
buggy early yesterday morning. Tho
horse had evidently been driven at a
lively speed, for he was in a lather of
sweat when the officers captured him,
which was at about 4 o'clock.
