POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.
J. 3. Black Is Chap Who Has Been
SwindIing Hotels.

Springfield, July III. r. Black,
who has been held by the San Francisco
police pending the arrival of Inspector
Boyle of Springfield. was positively
idehtiAed, Monday, by Daniel Leary, a
Springfield hotel clerk, who accom-
panied Inspector Boyle. as Herbert o.
Hoffman," who secured money from
cooey's hotel in Springfield a few
weeks ago by means of forged letter
Of credit.
This information was conveyed to
City Marshal Stebbins in a telegram
from Inspector Boyle, who will remain
in San Francisco until the arrival of
another officer from Springfield with
requisitiOn papers.
Assistant City Marshal Wright start
ed. Tuesday, to find Gov: Crane and the
attorney general of Massachusetts, and
after securing the necessary papers,
will go to San Francisco to claim the
prisoner, who is held on warrant
which Inspector Boyle had.
The Springfield police believe that
they have made a valuable capture
Hoffman victimized three hotels in
Springfield and was equally successful
in a dozen other Eastern cities, includ-
ing Pittslield, Hartford, and Port
land. Ne.
Hoffman has been working among
banks and hotel keepers throughout the
West and has been remarkably sue
cessful. He had been living for the
three weeks preceding his arrest at the
Palace hotel, San Francisco, under the
name of II. II. James of Pennsylvania
and there the detectives found in his
luggage the evidence of the extent OF
his operations.
The main feature of his outfit was q
carefully stereotyped plate from which
to print the letters of credit issued by
the National Hotel Keepers Protective
Association.
He also had bank books from Is diff
ferent banks, each showing deposits t
the credit of a different name. These
banks were the Citizens Bank, Ander

CO., Columbus, o.; Security Trust Co.,
Indianapolis, Ind; Western National
Bank, San Francisco, Cal; Denver Ma

of the Republic. Salt Lake City; Indi
ana National Bank, Indianapolis; Co
lumbia National Bank, indianapolis
Bank of California, San Francisco
Garfield Savings Bank, Cleveland, o.;
Union National Bank, Oakland.
From the last named bank he secured
nearly $1,000. He went there, June IL
and deposited a worthless draft fol
$500. stating that he was about to es-
tablish a dental office. He shortly drew
out $3.50 then next day deposited 500 IT
cash and draft for $1,000. The next
day he drew out $685. and disappeared
Just before the bank people learned thai
his drafts were valueless.
A particular target of his activities
was the American National Bank oil

presented drafts he would present one
of the letters of credit of the Hote

would be stated that he had money de-
posted in that bank. 1t is estimated

House are simply a repetition of what
ne tells the presiding officer soto voce.
But 1t often happens that outsiders
come and want Mr.. Kinds to pilot
them through the mazes of the House
rules. They want to know what to do
to get up certain measures and what
the ruling of the Chair is likely to be on
disputed points of procedure. That is
where they are fooled. Mr.. Kinds has
too high a sense of the dignity OF the
place he holds to attempt advice of
that character. This summer he will
probably stay in Washington for a
time. He has some additional work to
do in bringing his book of precedents
to date.
A wealthy Maine man, who stands
high in the business community OF
Washington, Mr.. S. w. Woodward, for
merly of Damariscotta, Me-, sailed to
Europe few days ago for summer
vacation. Mr.. Woodward is the largest
dry goods merchant in Washington, has
been president of the board of trade.
and when President Mckinley was
first naugurated4 6eclined the honor
of being chairnQah of the inaugural
committee. The story, well .authenti-
Gated, is that he paid $1,000 for the
passage, of himself and family across
the Atlantic. Before he left New York
he gave q banquet to his friends, re-
ported to have cost $50 plate. Mr..
Woodward started in the dry goods
business in this city on a small scale.
He has given away many thousands of
dollars. being an eminent Baptist, pillar
of the Cavalry Baptist church in this
city and identified with the Young
Mems Christian Temperance Union and
many other good works. Recently he
has made a real estate purchase by
which, on the payment of $4,000, he
becomes pOssessor of an entire block
right in the business heart of the city.
5 II this Will be devoted to his extensive
department store, which is to be en-
larged greatly and conducted on more
extended scale than ever.
1t is notable that very large per-
centage of the Congressional depar-
lures this year are directly for home.
Unusually when n session ends many
men go off for long pleasure trips to
the distant possessions, particularly at
the end of short session OF Congress.
This year the campaigns are on and
the pleasure trips will be taken later
in the year. The members of the Maine
delegation are all planning to go
straight home and will be there prob
ably by the end of this week, if not be-
fore.
Representative Loud of California,
chairman of the committee on post
offices and pOstroads, is contemplating
a trip into Maine within the next week
or two Before he returns to Cali
fornia he is going to his old home in
Massachusetts and from there Will go
into New Hampshire and into Maine.
Mr.. Loud is on very friendly terms
with the Maine members of Congress,
although he has sometimes disagreed
with them as to postal legislation.
