New YORK, Oct. I6.-Domingo L.
Ruise, ConsulGeneral of Ecquador, who.
was arrested on a charge of forging the
name OF Gustav Preston, Boston mer-
chant and Vice-Consul, to two notes of
one thousand each, was brought before
the Police Court yesterday. The pro-
ceedings disclosed the fact that Ruise,
who is i'll his dotage, was the victim of a
band OF conspirators, who heeced him
out OF $4,000, and in their greed for
more induced him to indorse two thou
sand-dolIar notes bearing the forged
signature of Preston. The principal in the
conspiracy is said to be Mrs. Bertha
Laws, the adopted daughter of Ruise.
He became acquainted with the Laws
woman through an advertisement, she
answering his advertisement for house
keeper. She was then known as Miss
Bertha krimslat of Stockholm. In the
course of a few weeks she persuaded
Rulse that she was his daughter by
former mistress. Ruise finally adopted
her as his daughter. This led to an
enlargement with his family, and
he went TO live with the woman.
Later Bertha introduced William Laws,
bookmaker and general sporting man,
to her father as her husband" Ruise
'lavished $4,000 on the woman, but she
needed more, and acting under her guild
ance Ruise called on Vice Consul Pres
ton al Boston. and requested a loan Of
$4,000. Preston cheerfully complied. and
Ruise and his adopted daughter returned,
and she proceeded TO spend the money,
which did not last long, however
The conspirators then concocted
scheme to raise more. Ruise states that
in August Mrs. Laws brought to him the
two thousand-dollGr forged notes, and
said Preston, knowing the Consul-Gen-
eral was embarrassed, sent him by mail
two notes. Ruise never suspected them
being forgerles, and at once signed them.
n man named Simon Epstein advanced
the money on one of the notes, and when
it was pronounced a forgery he foreclosed
the mortgage which was given to protect
him on the furniture in Mrs. Laws
house, and had the COnsul-General ar
rested on a charge of forgery.
Owing TO the absence of important
witnesses the case was adjourned till
Wednesday, and bail fixed at SO, ,O0O.
The Consu's son offered security, but the
Justice could not receive it. Tomorrow.
however, the money will be deposited
with the City Chamberlain, and Ruise
will be released. A warrant was issued
and Mrs. Laws was arrested to-day.

COAL in THE LAKE
1t is Said to Have Been Found on
Church Island.
Four Foot-Six- Inch Vein Of Excellent DUAL
ity Lately Uncovered by
PrOspectOrs.

1t has been an open secret for some years
past that there were immense quantities
of good quality of slate on Fremont island,
IN the Great Salt Lake, and it was also
whispered short time ago that good indi-
cations of coal had been found on Antelope
or Church island. AS a result of the latter
rumor, prospectors were fitted out and
they went to WORK some time ago. Yes
terday report reached this city that
a vein of excellent bituminous coal four
feet six inches in width, had been
uncovered, aud that there was good reason
to believe the supply was well-nigh mex
haustible. Whether the find is located on
the portion of the island owned by Dolly
and White was not stated, and the names
of the interested parties were kept from
the reporters. Further developments may
be looked for in a few days. With coal in
paying quantities on Antelope island, it
would be but few weeks ere a railway
would be built to reach it. The find is within
twenty miles of Salt Lake and means
cheaper fuel for this region.
