CLEVER CHECK SWINDLE
"JACCO" DONAHUE, WANTED HERE
CAUGHT IN PITTSBURG.
The Sharper Is Said to Have Caught
an Indianapolis Dry-GoOds
House for $500.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 81. - Detectives
here to-day arrested a man they consider
one of the smoothest bunko men in this
country. His real name is thought to be
Donahue and he is known TO the police by
the first name of Jacco.
He has operated under aliases in all parts
of the country and has served terms in
several penitentiaries, among them River
side in Allegheny and Moyamensing at
Philadelphia. The specific charge on which
he was arrested was the successful working
of brahd-new bunko on a prominent jew
eler and a dry-goods man of Indianapolis.
When arrested Donahue had 500 in his pos
session. The scheme the man worked in
indianapolis was about as follows:
The names of the firms are withheld. He
went to the jeweler and purchased a 5000
diamond ring. paying for it with check
signed William Thompson. He left the ring
to have his initials engraved on it. saying
he would return in an hour or so. Before
his return the firm Endorsed the check and
sent 1t to the bank for. the cash 1t was
pr Whpn fnfore LUNGS of this
when he called for the ring he asked to see
the check, and told the jeweler that he
must have been out of his head when he
wrote such a check, for he never had any
funds in that bank. He put the check in
his pocket and paid $500 in cash for the
ring. He then went to one. of the large
dry-goods houses, where he was slightly ac-
Quainted, presented the check with the jew
eler's Endorsement and secured the amount
on the plea that the bank was closed and
he was in a hurry to catch train. Dona-
hue, after arrested, cohSented to go to In
dianapolis without reqiIisition papers, be-
cause he thinks he can compromise the
case.
The police here last night said they knew
nothing of the case nor of any merchant
who had been swindled.

CIVIL-SERVICE CASES
COMMISSION TO TEST MATTER OF PO-
LITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Nice Point About Sending Letters to
Clerks Asking for Contributions
to Campaign Funds.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The Civil-serv-
ice Commission will soon select a test case
for prosecution in the courts to determine
the extent to which the civil-service law is
applicable in political assessment cases.
There were many complaints of illegal as
sessments during and preceding the recent
campaign, and various cases have been sent
to the Attorney-general for such action as
may be deemed expedent. Investigation
showed that. usual, some of the allega-
tions of violations of the law could not be
substantiated. The commissioners are now
casting about for a good case for test
and they will In few days select one
which they regard likely to bring out
in judicial decision the best results to
civil-service reform.
questions as to the Jurisdiction of the law
and an effort will be made TO have them
judicially construed. The main issue is as
to whether solicitation of funds for polit-
zeal purposes by letter as contradis-
tinguished from solicitation in person is a
violation of the law. There other per-
ton of actual jurisdiction of a federal
building and where only parts of buildings

of funds has been made by letter TO en-
ployes in federal buildings. the commission
erS. say, the question has never been tested
In court and consequently there has been
decision on that mooted point. 1t is
asserted by many persons that the law does
not apply in those cases and there can be
intimidation in such letters or action
prohibited by law. The commission realize s
the possibly serious consequences involved
in decision adverse to its contention that
the letters barred by law in view of
the opportunity this would offer for obtain
ing funds for political purposes. Its posi-
ticn is that failure to push the matter is
merely putting off the issue and that
possible and conclusive Interpretation of
the law as il stands is necessary. BY de-
termining the Applicability of the law on
various points of contention-the case in
volving most of which will be selected-the
commission feels its work will be strength
ened. The weak points as found may then
be remeded by legislation which will be
urged. Though the prosecution of the
other cases will in the usual procedure of
the Department of Justice the test case
will be expedited and the commission will
be allowed to select any special counsel it

tributed among the stockholders within
week 1t is learned from other sources that
the report was read at the recent meeting
of the stockholders. A man who pres
ent at this meeting said there Is nothing
of a sensational character in the report
and that no charge save, possibly, that OF
encouragement. Is made against the May
er administration. The method of keeping
the books. however. Is criticised, and the
report is said to show that. for more than
five years past unearned dividends have
been paid with money borrowed fer the
purpose. and upon collateral belonging TO
the company: that the books have been
kept in such manner as TO Indicate a more
favorable financial coNiition than actually
existed, and that other irregularities OF
minor NJ .ure were discovered. The most
important feature of the report however,
IS said to be that IL reveals the fact that.
ever. under the conditions which then ex-
listed, the system was fully able 10 pay Its
interest and other fixed charges out OF its
earnings. a-Id that il the dividends had not
