of all the regiments from the East who

souian institution
New York, March 4.-Some swinder
working in the name of the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington has recently
been busy in this city. His method is to
solicit subscriptions for various publica-
tionsSin connection with the Nature Study
Society of that institution. There is no
such society. He exhibits as credentials a
forged certificate and other papers signed
Robert Ridgeway, president" and from
every victim collects the subscription price
of the imaginary publication for a year.
and promises to deliver the books and ac-
companying chart within five days.
The man may be most easily identified by
the fact that three of his fingers have been
amputated at the first joint. He is about
sixty years old, with gray hair and beard,
and varously states his name as Thomas
c. Ridgeway, Thomas C. Cowley and Thom>
as c. Gentry. He is known to have been
carrying on this fraud for more than a
month. not only here but also in Michigan,
Indiana Kentucky and Illinois.
Prof. S. P. Langley, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution says that the In
stitution employs no agents TO solicit sub
scriptions for any publication. Inquiry in
Washington showed that the matter had
not been reported to the police of that
city.

There were two motives for the robbery,
one Of revenge upon the superintendent
and the other to secure money from medi-

lieved that the plan was really made and
the police think that their presence pre-
vented the carrying out of the work. Lieu
