Calvin, 60 to now; let US take
spot shekels in our hand and 60
down into the land of Boston, New

FALSE TIME CHECKS.
Frauds in Connection With Mississippi
River Improvements Large.

Washington, March 23-An order for
the arrest of ]. H. Southall, former chief
clerk in the United States engineers Of
fee at st. Paul, has been sent by the
department of justice to the United
States district attorney at st. Paul. The
charge against him is that he uttered
flase claims against the government.
Attorney General Griggs said today
that the amount of money realized by
Southall through the issuance of false
time checks, will reach at least $500, 900.
The statement of the amount is based
on the report of a national bank exami-
ner who was sent to Minnesota for the
purpose of making an investigation. Mr..
Griggs said that the government was
not liable for the acts of Southall, and
that the holders of fraudulent checks
could make no claim against the federal
treasurer.
During the past year and more, banks
have been made the victims of colossal
frauds through the suspected collusion
of government clerks connected with the
commission having in charge the i'm
provements on the upper Mississippi
river Copies of some of these time
checks are said to be signed by J. H
Southall, chief clerk of the United States
engineers office at st. Paul, and are
dated at different times during the year
1897. Others, 1t is understood, are dated
at different times during the year 1896.
