$17,000 GONE T00 Englewood Aroused by Disap- pearance of A. Cornelius jr. and Miss Adelgais. HIS INTEREST ‘FATHERLY’ Even Had His Wife Call on Stenographer—Her Mother Bitterly Denounces Him. Abram Cornelius jr. grandfather, prominent Elk, and cashier of the Cit- izens’ National Bank of Englewood, N. J., is missing. Two packages of large bills, one of $5,000 and the oth- er of $6,000, both of which ought to be in the vault of the bank, are miss- ing. Miss Loretta H. Adelgals, twen- ty-three, the fastest and most accu- rate stenographer the bank ever had, but who was replaced there by a man two months ago, is also missing. The triple set of circumstances is complete and nobody in Englewood seems greatly surprised at their co- incidence. Mrs. Cornelius and her three chil- dren, hoping against hope that the thing they fear will prove to be all a mistake, are at Greenwood Lake. Mrs. Adolgais, the widowed mother of the missing girl, is at her home In Ro- chelle Park, bitterly railing at the man who she believes has brought shams on her daughter in spite of the girl's repeated efforts to ward off just what seems to have happened. It was one of those cases of a “fatherly” interest—at least that ts what Cornelius is sald to have told his wife. To outward appearance she believed him, and when his at tentions to the young stenographer became so generally discussed that the girl gave up her job on two or three occasions, Mra, Cornelius went with her husband to persuade her to return to work. ‘Then, two months ago, when the cashier's attention to the young wom- an became too pronounced to be over- looked any further, Clinton H. Blake, the President of the bank, called in Cornetius and tofd him the girl would we to ga, * “But I can't get along without her,” eai@ the cashier. “She is a marvel i 2. speed and the most accurate @tenograpber we have ever bad here.” ' “If you can’t get along without her, the bank will have to get along without you,” wae the President’s re- ply, and that settled it. Miss Adelgais was discharged and Cornelius use his influence to get her a position with the Englewood Board of Trade. There he used to call for her every day, it is said, and take her out to lunch, Just what the secret of her charm for him may be, many people {a Englewood do not understand. She ie far short of ideal in features, they eay, and her figure is spare to a point approaching emaciation. Never- the less when Abram Cornelius, di pite his years, his wife and family, and his nineteen years of service in the bank, deappeared at the same time that $11,000 of the bank's funds and the young lady herself also vanished, {t was not such a shock to close observers at it might have been. “Mr, Cornelius reported for work ae usual on Wednesday,” said Prest- dent Blake to-day, “and attended to hie duti At 6 o'clock in the after- noon, when he was alone in the bank, he entered the vault and took two packages of bills, one of $6,000 and the other of $6,000, What surprises me ts that he didn’t take twice ae much, ‘The loss will not embarrass the bank, Mr, Cornelius was bonded for $20,000 and the surety company must stand the lo: We will have a directors’ meeting to-morrow to select Mr. Cor- nelius’s successor.” Officials of the bank believe the cashier is in Canada, and that the girl is with him, ‘Two years ago one of Cornellus’s daughters eloped and married Joho Meehan, a steamship employee het A few months ago Mrs, Meehan gave birth to a child, father, who had objected to the match, a grandfather at forty-eight. The Cornelius family was acquaint- ed with Miss Adelgais. She had vil {ted at the Cornelius summer home and at the home in Englewood, GIRL’S MOTHER BITTER AGAINST MISSING BANKER, Miss Adelgais is described as a slender, attractive girl of demure de- an accomplished portment, Sho is For Constipation us Laxative Chocolat: Ex-Lax rel s constipation, regulates the stomach and bowels, stimulates the liver and i romotes digestion, Good for young and old, 10c, 25c, and 50c, at el) druggie fh rere The Delic: thus making her EX LAX feminine retorts may make these writers run to cover. “INCOME AND NOTHING ese Counts" SAYS M.D. | Honest Women Interested in the Discussion Are Invited to Reply to the Sneering Cyfics—But There’s One Man Who Has Old-Fashioned Ideas About Marriage for True Love and Holds the Modern Doctrine of “Share and Share Alike.” By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What is a perfect husband? “To the mind of many a woman the perfect husband is merely the perfect meal ticket. I often blame the women for a large percentage of the divorces.” That is “Mr. J. D.’s" cynical reply to the question Evening World readers are considering just now. Is his answer true? Is it fair to women? What have ®women to say in reply? One point which this discussion seems to have developed already is that there exists a feeling in the minds of a certain number of men that women value a husband not for what he is but for what they can get out of him. These men feel, bitterly and unrea- sonably, perhaps, but stubbornly, that in the mind of ‘es 4 the modern woman a husband's perfection is deter- mined by his purse rather than by his personality, That is “Mr. J. D.'s” point of view; that is the conviction of the young man who wants to be @ husband and whose letter, signed “M. D.,” is published below.

I wonder if any of them will agree with “M. D." Here is his letter: Dear Madam: The girls of to- day measure a perfect husband by his money and his social posi- tion, They have no other stan- dard, If he is a professional man or high up in some big business house and makes from $10,000 to $100,000 a year—then he 1s per- fect—even though he is snag- toothed, bald-headed, morally corrupt and sixty-five. A young man, however handsome, charm- ing and cultivated he may be, cuts no matrimonial ice unless he's there with the cash. The girls may dance with him, but they won't marry him. I wish to write you a letter of my experl- ence in searching for a young woman, with whom I might share the joy of living, in the hope that {t may draw forth some reply which will raise my faith in woman nature, To begin with, I am twenty- six, gifted with the wonderful physique of one brought up in the great out of doors and cursed — nually, HE MASQUERADES AND HIS EVES ARE OPENED. About a year ago I decided to settle down and bave a home of my own, but my experiences with young ladies of my acquain- tance have rudely shaken my hopes. I spoke before of being cursed with a handsome face. Last winter I spent a week in Lakewood to rest after a particu- larly strenuous month. I went to @ small hotel and registered as a travelling salesman. It happened that on a particular night there was to be a dace at the hotel, which all the guests were sup- posed to attend. I appeared with the rest, and we were quite a large and jolly crowd, with many guests of the surrounding hotels also attending. For the first hour I was the most popular young man in the ballroom, But as time went on I noticed that I was be- ing snubbed by the same young ladies who a short while before seemed to be anxious to receive my attentions, one having ven- tured to remark, "I believe you are the handsomest man I have ever met." By mere chance | discovered the underlying cause of the dis- dain to which | was now treated. The young ladies had conaulted the hotel register and discovered—as they thought—that | was engaged in commonpla work at which few men get rich. At supper | happened to overhear some of the conversation of a party of thi girls who had separated thi selves from their partners with the evident idea of “knocking,” planist and long had been a friend of Miss Amy Cornelius, daughter of the missing bank cashier.

WAR WAKING U.S GREATEST POWER GERMAN’ VW Calls Our Shipments Master- piece of Speculation—Eu- , rope Bent on Suicide. t By Carl W. Ackerman, Unitel Pres Staff Correspondent, RERLIN, via The Hague, Aug. 3.— That Europe by prolonging the world war is committing sulcide and making the United States the greatest world power is the view taken by Prof. Georg Simmel, authority on interna- tional politics, in an article in the Tageblatt. “America atands nearby as tho waiting heir at the deathbed of a rich | testator,” he wrote, “Sending ammu- nition is tho chief indication of this attitude, Europe sends not @ small part of its fortune to America, and the equivalent which {t receives it blows into tho air, or rather {t uses for the better execution of its sul- do to hasten the succession of | America to tho world throne. “The sending of ammunition ts not only a commercial enterprise for the enrichment of some purveyors. It {s the first great practical {mpulse with which America hopes to accelerate the Western turn of the hand of world history. It plays {ts arms into the hands of the European nations, hoping they will kill themselves for its advantage, and then takes huge profits, America promotes in th single attitude the weakening of rope in two ways. It is a mas piece of word historical speculation, Is Europe insane that it commits this hartkari?”" Prof. Simmel concluded with the declaration that the world still held plenty of room for both England and Germany “if England would only give up her short-sightedness.” He suggested that England and Ger- many, working in harmony, could not only keep the peace of Europe, but | t | 6 ° not attempt to spread the strike into| retain for Burope “a place in front a general walkout for a few days.|of the growing powers of America They will seek another conference 4 EB Asia.” with the officials of the Garvin Com. | #94 Bast P pany.

There is somo chance of a cool wave after that. The sun arose lazily thie morning, hardly dis- turbing his heavy ecreen of gray clouds. The early temperatures were hardly above 70 degrees, and it was not until 8 A. M, that the mercury registered 75 degre: At OA. M. it and at 10 A. M. 82. A freshoning of the northerly breose brought @ slight reduction in the tem- perature in the forenoon, and by 11 o'clock the mercury had sunk to 80 degrees high in the air where tho official instruments are kept, and even In the av citering streets people felt cooler. The breese lasted until nearly ev- erybody had been out to lunch. The thermometer marked 79 at noon, and it waa not until 1 o'clock that the breeze became a zephyr and the mer- oury slowly climbed to 82 degrees. Although a greater increase in dis. comfort was felt by every one who had to move about in the sun, the thermometer atill remained at 82 de- grees at So'clock. The humidity was only 78 per cent., as compared with 90 and more at the same hour Sunday, “To-day and to-night will be a good deal like yesterday and the day be- fore,” said Weather Forecaster Scarr. “It will remain cloudy, with high hu- midity and rather high temperatures and light northerly winds. To-mor- row forenoon will probably be about the same. We expect a change to cooler on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. “It is cooler now in the upper Mis- sissipp!
