SECRETARY LYNCH WANTED
Warrant Out for an Official of a Building
Association.
Charged With Forgery, the Losses
Being Estimated Between $1,000
and $1O,GOO-An Investigation.

The police are looking for John 7. Lynch,
who, until recently, was the secretary of
the Second Workingmen's Building Asso-
citation, and had the general charge, it is
said, not only of the books, but also the
funds. A warrant charging him with for
gerry has been issued, the complaint being
made by Mary Lynch, IA stockholder in the
association, and 7. D. Daily, the treasurer.
1t is said to be impossible at this time
to find out exactly the extent of the losses
sustained by the association. Mr.. Leon
Tobriner, who has been employed as coun-
sci by several of the parties claiming to
have been defrauded, told a reporter of
The Star today that he thought the losses
would foot up between 5000 and $4,000.
There was no way, he said, in which to
get any idea of the exact amount although
1t was his impression the publication of the
facts would bring to light many additional
complaints He said Investigations were
now in progress.
Alleges Forgery.
Mary Lynch, who swore out the war
rant, is domestic in the home of Gustave
Lansburgh. 1OGS Vermont avenue. She
charges that November 13, 1897, Lynch
forged an Endorsement of hers to a check
for $4,000, drawn to her order by the
treasurer Of the association. She states
any money belonging to her out of the
building association, and she had no knowl-
edge that any had been drawn until a few
weeks ago.
1t appears that the officers OF the asso-
citation Were suspicious of the manner in
which its business was conducted and
called in an expert accountant. After his
examination of the books the first week
Mr.. Lynch was removed from office This
investigation is still in progress.
Miss Johanna Berry, who lives at Sth and
q streets, claims to have paid Mr. Lynch
who, by the way, Is her cousin 500 to
place to her credit in the association. This
she finds he did not do. Miss Elizabeth
Webb of Anacostia, another cousin also
claims to have lost a like amount.
Two Other Cases.
Redmond Burke had presented the re-
ceipts of the association for 1897, which he
claims to have paid Lynch, and he requests
that credit be given him for the same.
There Is another case which, it is
claimed, shows sharp practice by Lynch.
1t is that of Mrs. Mary Nelligan who lives
purchased through the building association
a little home. Her last payment was SS45.
She thought this cleared the property of all
membranes. and ever since that time
has drawn rental for the same 1t now ap-
pears the money was never turned in. Her
counsel, however, thinks the association is
liable for the full amount, since Mrs Nellt-
gan was nine years without notice.

Washington, D. c., May 12.-Capt.
Ray, who will be placed in command of
the military district of Alaska, has been
busy about the war department getting

He expects to establish headquarters
on the Yukon at Mission creek, which
is near the boundary line. Here he
will build regular military station for
the accommodation of his troops and sup
lies. A military reservation will be eS-
tablished there, the boundaries of which
will depend upon the judr:.:cnt of Capt.
Ray. a forest reservation also Will be
established, that there may be no ques
ton about plentiful supply of timber
for the military station.
Capt. Ray will take two sawmills with
him to manufacture the lumber which
will be necessary for the new station.
He will go by boat by way of the mouth
OF the Yukon river and will have all his
supplies taken in by that route.
Capt. Ray expresses no doubt as TO the
practicability of the Copper river route,
which Assistant Secretary MeikeljOhn
has ordered established and which will
be examined by Capt. Abercrombie.
Capt. Ray has plan for the establish
ment of stations along this route twenty
miles apart placed in charge of natives.
BY this system, he believes it will be
possible to reach the Yukon country at
all seasons OF the year.

Bulbs of wild hyacinth, pleasant to eat.
Holes in the rocks for the wild bees hivng
