VALPARAISO, Ind, Aug. 13.-Late this
afternoon a sensation was created here by
the arrest of ex-Sheriff Joseph Sego, OF
Porter county, on a charge of forgery pre-
ferred by Don A. Salyer superintendent OF
the Valparaiso Water Company, who be-
came suspicious regarding a note purchased
from Sego with the name of Robert b.. Big
CART, a wealthy farmer, as security. The
note was for 800, payable Sept. 2. and was
issued one year ago. Biggart was called to
town and before attorneys pronounced his
name forged. Later another note, for sl25.
also due Sept. 2. with the names of Robert
T.. Biggart and ex-Alderman Jacob Char
tier, purchased by Cornelius Corboy, turned
up and was declared a forgery. Sego was
then arrested and given a preliminary hear
ing. He waived examination and was
placed under $500 bonds.
Sego called on his wife for assistance, but
she refused aid. They were married a
month ago, she being the wealthy widow of
John Leonard, at whose death she received
$50, 200. Sego has five children by his first
wife and five s~tepchildren. He made vain
efforts to secure bonds from business men
this evening, but was refused everywhere,
although several children pathetically APP
pealed on behalf of their father.
While "A drayman Sego was elected sheriff
in a strong Republican county by the Dem
ocratic party in 1890. His downfall is cred
tied to playing the Roby races and the
Board of Trade.

The operation Of this law is beneficial, since
il places every foreign corporation au-
thorfzed to do business in the State under
State Jurisdiction and makes them suable
in the State courts. and amenable to the
laws applying TO domestic corporations.
If it can be shown that any foreign corpor-
alton doing business in the State is operat-
ing under a contract or agreement to re-
strain trade, stihe competition or control
prices it can be reached in the State courts
under common law, and the State law on
the subject does not extend or enlarge this
power. In the Portland gas case a strong
point was that the company had forfeited
its charter by selling out to another and
thereby failing to comply with one of the
original conditions of its charter. No such
charge as that would lie against any for
eign corporation doing business in the
State.

That is an interesting story which comes
from Paris relative to the effort OF Ger
many to get control of two small islands
lying off the northern coast of Cuba.
The islands are designated as Cayo
Romano and Cayo Cruz. The first is about
sixty-six miles long and two and one-half
miles wide. with an area of 1E2 square
miles. and the other is probably smaller.
as it cannot be located. Both islands are
said to be the property of a rich Spaniard
living in Paris. who is negotiating with the
German government for their transfer to
a German syndicate. This could not be
done without raising international ques-
tons. By the Spanish-American treaty
Spain reiinquished all claims of sovereignty
over and title to Cuba. As far as political
sovereignty is concerned this covered all
the small islands adjacent TO Cuba. so that
Cayo Romano would go with Cuba. But
the treaty preserved private rights. Article
S declared that the REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba
cannot in any respect impair the property
or rights of private individuals. of what
soever nationality such individuals may
be-" 1t is probable that under this pro-
vision the rich Spaniard's title to the
island. If he had a good one, would be pre-
served, but il is not probable that he would
be permitted to transfer it to a German
syndicate for the benefit of the German
government. There may be little founda-
ton for the story, but 1t shows how gem
eral the impression is that Germany is
trying to pick up islands wherever she can.
