BOLD AND CLEVER FORGER

Exploits OF a Youthful Bookkeeper
With an $4,000 Check-The Culpril
Comes to Grief In New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga young man
claiming to be James Wood ward of Chicago,
a guest at the Hotel Kenmore, in Albany,
to day asked the proprietor for an advance
of $40. 900 on certified check for $50, 900
purportipg to be drawn by the Royal Fire
Insurance company of Liverpool, on the
Merchants National bank of New York. A
messenger was sent to the Albany Office of
the company with the check and he re-
turned and stated that agents of the COM
psny had said the check was all right.
There were four signatures on the check
and it appeared to be properly endorsed.
The manager of the hotel then communi-
Gated by telephone with Manager E. F.
Beddau of the Royal Fire company, at
the Office, No. 80 Wall street, this city.
Hr. Beddall at once informed the
hotel man that the check was q
forgery. A few minutes later Mr..
Beddall was told that the young man who
had resented the check had evidently over
heard the conversation and had disappear
ed, taking with him the check. The young
man It was stated, arrived at the Kenmore
Tuesday night, asked for the best room in
the hotel and spent money freely. His
baggage consisted of only shell travelling
bag, which he left at the hotel. It con-
tanned only few collars and cuffs. The
young man did not pay his hotel bill. The
Merchants bank has notified all Its oorrss-
pondents throughout the country of the
facts, and directed them to arrest the person
who may present the forged check. Mr..
Beddall said: "We know who the man
is, and 1 think he will soon be
arrested. We are on his track. He was
dupe of the man who made out the check.
The chief culprit was arrested at this
Office to-day. He is bookkeeper In the
employ of the company at salary of
about 5000. He has been in the company's
employ for ten years. I do not care to
give his name now. He Is twenty four or
twenty five years old and lives in this city.
He appeared to be q quiet, straightfor-

however, that he he's been high

WAsHIsGToN, Jan. 26.-In the senate

Mills thought republican statesmen were

general government had no right to sup

tenn of construction congress had a right
to regulate commerce In states-as pro-
posed in the pending measure-it could
go farther and regulate the production of
the specified articles. Mr.. Mills declared
that he would not support the bill because
It was not regulation of congress. No
senator would face his constituents after
voting to make all future" Gales of serI-

Mr.. Hisoock ALEC opposed the bill. He
would not be alarmed, he said, at the idea
that it's defeat on the ground of unconsti-
nationality would be precedent i'm pairing
the power of congress to impose protective
duties. He did not know that he WAS pre-
pared to claim that congress had the same
constitutional power to prohibit commercs
between the states as it had to prohibit
commerce between the United States and
another country. The bill did not put
question of regulating commerce. Very
rarely had a measure been presented to
congress wherein this regard had been
