EASY TO GET
881 MONEY
Rothbarth Says All One Needs
Is Presentable Address and
Statement of Assets.
HE GREW TOO CARELESS
Victimized Banks For Over
$lOOOOO—A Mistake Led
To His Capture.
Associated Press.
New York Sept. 16.—A formula for
obtaining the complete confidence of the
most cautious bank president is stated
by Adolph Rothbarth the hop merchant
who confessed that in the last three
years he victimized New York banks
for more than $lOOOOO. He would be
free today if he had not grown care-
less and submitted Conflicting state-
ments to two banks from one of which
he sought to borrow to repay the other.
The credit men compared and caught
him.
“All you need’’ he said last night
from his cell in the Tombs “is a pre-
sentable address respectable clothes a
good letterhead and a statement of as-
sets.
“When I first went to a bank for
money I told them I might need as
much as $150000. They told me to go
ahead and submit a statement of assets
and they would lend mo all I wanted.
So I submitted a false statement. Any-
one could have done the same.’’
By letterhead Rothbarth meant not
only the printed stationery but the
right to use it. The European firm of
Rothbarth & Co. for which Adolph
Rothbarth was agent in this country
war known to be a large concern and
held a position of confidence.

Battle Over a Comma
CUaKUS CONTROVERSY THREATENS TO DISRUPT
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
A curious controversy rages among
English churchmen and so bitter has it
become that statesmen have been drawn
j into it and it threatens to provoke a de-
; bate upon the floor of the house of com-
mons. It has to do not with the cor-
i onation oath nor with any other import-
ant matter of faith and creed but with
the punctuation of the Lord's Prayer.
Should there be a comma in the sen-
tence beginning “Thy will be done’’
and if so where should it go? In other
! words which of the'following forms is
correct:
Thy will be done in earth as it is in
heaven
Or—
Thy will be done in earth as it is in
heaven
I Or—
I Thy will be done in earth as it is in
heaven.
To understand the controversy it
must be remembered that in England
the privilege of printing the Bible and
| the book of common prayer is a monop-
j oly conferred by ancient statute upon
JOSKE’S | THE BIG STORE I JOSKE’S I THE BIG STORE
t the king's printer and the Oxford and
I Cambridge University presses. In this
j country the printer is free to publish
an edition of the Bible and to make any
changes in the test that he desires to
make but not so among the English.
A London Guttenberg who sought to in-
vade the monopoly of the three presset
mentioned would see his Bibles seized
and destroyed by the police and in ad-
dition he would probably get six
months in jail for his pains. The idea is
that the monopoly safeguards the purity
of the sacred text.
Not long ago some one discovered in
an English library a manuscript prayer
book bearing date of 1662 and soon af-
terward representatives of the three
presses met to examine this manuscript
and to compare it with the prayer book
of today for the purpose of rectifying
any errors of corruptions that -he latter
might reveal. This work accomplished
1 a new edition of the prayer book was
। issued and at once a number of argus-
I eyed readers di: overed that r comma
appeared for the first time in the pas-
I sage mentioned above. In previous edi-
I tions there had been no comma at all
in the sentence but now there was one
after the word “done.”
Thus the row began with a loud pro-
| test from Dr. H. C. Beeching a canon of
(Westminster Abbey. Dr. Beeehing pro-
teste’ that the comma destroyed the
traditional rhythm of the sentence and
thus outraged every English Christian.
'Going further he showed that there
was no justification for it in the sev-
enteenth century manuscript that the
representatives of the three presses had
examined for in that manuscript
though a comma actually appeared in
the sentence it was not after “done”
but after “earth. ’ A flood of letters
denouncing and defending the invad-
ing comma then began to appear in the
newspapers and one day Lord Hugh
i Cecil that tower of orthodoxy arose in
the house of commons and demanded
that Winston Churchill who as home
j secretary is officially the secular head
of the Anglican church explain the
jsacrilege. Mr. Churchill gingerly side-
stepped--and so the controversy con-
itinues with a great emission of abuse
and many letters iu the newspapers. The
foes of the comma threaten to take the
i matter to the courts and even talk of
| besieging parliament with a monster pe-
tition for redress signed by millions of
the orthodox. And meanwhile the
friends of the comma defend it alleging
that it improves not only the rhythm
but also the sense of the disputed pas-
sage.
HOW TO WEAR A VEIL.
For those who are partial to the wear-
ing of sailor Mats here is a wrinkle con-
cerning bow to adjust the veil on such
। a shape.
First fasten the top edge of the veil
ito fit around the crown so that it
stands up firmly in a fold then gather
i up the loose ends and knot them at the
। back. The veil (of double w-idth) thus
I arranged softens the outline of the
whole hat and fits over the face per-
| fectly. The perfect fitting of a veil is
no small triumph.
Last summer the French women
formed the top edges of their veils into
definite folds which they placed to
stand around the brims of the hats.
With fresh crisp veiling the effect is
extremely good and most becoming.
A SONG.
Not from the whole wide world I
ehoose thee
Sweetheart light of the land and sea!
The wide wide world could not inclose
thee
For thou art the whole wide world to
me.

TURN DOWN PLAN
New York Financiers Denounce
Proposition of English As-
sociation to Guarantee.
As* elated Presi.
New York Sept. 16. —American bank-
। ers at a meeting here yesterday de-
Inounced the proposal of the English
bankers for the guaranteeing of bills
of lading as “unsound fimAce. ” This
action followed the report of the Brit-
ish committee* that they could not ac-
cept American cotton bills after Oc-
tober 31 without an American bans
guarantee.
At the conclusion of the day's ses-
sion the American bankers sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to the British Bank-
ers' association:
“We deeply regret your decision and
eannot but feel that it was reached
through misapprehension. We have ae
ccmplished much in securing the vali-
dation certificate thus placing the bus-
iness on a safe basis. Further considera-
tion of bankers' guarantee is absolutely
out of the question being in-ompatible
with correct banking principles. This is
final. Situation could not be changed
by cur committee going to London but
of course we would welcome your depu-
tation to New York where all data
and information are obtaimfble and
where railway and cotton people also
could be heard. We are confident this
would lead to a hotter understanding
with mutually satisfactory results.”
The bankers who . formulated the
foregoing reply are: Waiter E. Frew
vice president of the Corn Exchange
bank; William H. Porter president of
the Chemican National bank; G. 8.
