HELD ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
u. VI. Winters Accused of UtterinG u
Bogus Check.

b. NJ. Winters was yesterday committed
to Jail by United States Commissioner
Mills. in default of $500 bond. on charge
of abstracting and destroying United States
property The fastening of the offence
charged upon Winters and his arrest was
a remarkably quick piece of work by two Of
Chief Wilkes men.
At an early hour yesterday bogus check
for So was presented at the Treasury for
payment 1t was signed y. b. Irvine,
Disbursing Officer, Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey The check was payable 10 and en-
dorsed by b. NJ Winters and had been de-
posted in a local bank by Conrad Grier,
whose endorsement the paper also bore.
When the check was seen by the Treas
ury officials it was at once known that il
was fraudulent as the office of disbursing
officer for the Coast and Geodetic Survey
has been abolished for ten years. The nu-
merals on the date line. 1SS-. had been
erased. and in their place, affixed with
a rubber stamp, were the words March 3,
1900"
When the Office OF disbursing officer for
the Coast and Geodetic Survey was abol-
ished some of the papers were placed in
the archive room. Winters. who was en-
ployed in the Coast and Geodetic Survey,
had access to the archives. About three
months ago he resigned his position
As soon as the check was presented at
the Treasury for payment Chief Wilkie was
notified. and at once put Chief Clerk W.
Herman Moran and George Foster TO work
on the case The first step was to examine
the archives where the papers formerly
used by the disbursing officer Of the Coast
and Gcodetic Survey had been placed.
There it was discovered that twenty blank
checks similar to the one used by Winters
and consecutively numbered. had been cut
from one of the check books. Mr.. Moran
than called upon Mr.. Grier who had de-
posted the check for collection in local
bank He learned from the latter that on
Friday Winters rendered him the check for
$50 and asked loan OF $40 upon it, and
was accommodated by Mir. Grier.
Not thinking that the check would be so
soon presented for payment Winters yes
terday returned to MIR. Grier and asked for
an additional loan. Moran and Foster, who
had been expecting Winters return were
waiting and Immediately placed him under
arrest. Winters admitted having used the
check and state that he had taken in all
twenty blank Checks from the Treasury.
Fifteen of these. he said. he had destroyed
In Chicago. where he went on visit soon
after leaving the Coast and Geodetic Sur
yey.
On its face the check stated that the
amount payable was due fer overtime work
done during the Spanish American war.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. March 17.-It has
been discovered that thirteen students Of
the Sheffield Scientific School, all members
of the Berzielius Fraternity. living at The
Colony" the chapter house in which Rufus
Parks, jr.. of Washington. d. c.. one of the
society men. is confined. suffering from
varioloid. left town last night when it was
reported that the sick man had smallpox.
before the city health authorities could
prevent their departure.
All these men left for their homes. The
condition of Parks is about the same to-
night. and the New Haven health officer.
DR.. Wright, does not fear spread of the
contagion. Parks was a boarder in the
house where Perkins who was first strick-
en- week ago, resided, and it is from that
source he developed the symptoms of
smallpox. Besides Parks, four other mem
bers Ci the Berzielins are quarantined
at the colony. G. w. Perkins, of New

THE NEW YORK VICE CRUSADE
The Grand Jury said to BE Consider.
ing Indictments.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE crusade
against vice in this city which was started
by the District Attorneys office. is now in
the hands of the grand jury. and as that
body did not sit today and will not sit until
Monday. there were no new developments.
The rumOrs Of indictments against high-up
police officials continued to be circulated.
but the fact Of the matter is that no in
dictments have been found. although there
seems to be little doubt that the grand Jury
has been considering several.
1t was pretty generally believed yester-
day that the grand jury will hand down
several indictments on Monday but the
only name mentioned is that OF Captain
Thomas. of the Tenderloin. to whose al
legged neglect of duty the District At
torney called the attention OF the grand
jury several days ago. Rumors were per
sistently circulated again today that Chief
Deverey and at least one inspector are to
be uiicted.

THOSE REASONABLE LETTERS.
chambsrlaia Not Sure Of Gull, and Will Ask
the Writer'S 10 Explain.

London. Aug. Sin response to ques-
tons the secretary for the colonies. Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, said today, in the
House of Commons, that the Boer gov
ernments in fleeing from BiOemfOntein
and Pretoria, left masses of private cor
reSpOndence among the archives which
the authorities on the spot were examin-
ing. He had received installments of this
correspondence by the last two mails.
and he had been informed that more was
to come. The portions he had seen We're
written previous to the war and were
chiefly letters of British subjects of the
Cape and of the two republics.
There were, however, copies of two let
tiers that purported TO have been written
by an English member of the House OF
Commons and also letters and an extract
from a letter written by two other men,
berS of the House of Commons two days
before the outbreaking of the war. in the
form of open criticism asking for infor-
nation regarding martial law. and sug-
geSting that President kruger make tenn
porary concessions and await 4 reaction
in England.
In his opinion the letters were not trea l.
sonable, though certainly improper while
Her Majesty was engaged in difficult ne
gotiations. He proposed to send the let
sired TO explain. and he would await a
them or not.
The under secretary of the colonies. the
Earl of Selbourne. was questioned in the
House of Lords. today, concerning the al
legged reasonable correspondence and in
reply read the explanation which Nj.
Chamberlain had made in the House of
Commons.
