CHARGED WITH FORGERY
OIIAs. GIRARD OF MILWAUKEE
Hotel Hyser Cash Checks That
Are Said to Be Worth a
- less. ~,.@

Superintendent of Police Fred w. Ames
waukee of Charles Girard, who is said to
have cashed forged checks to the amount
of 1920 in Minneapolis, Friday and Satur-
day. Girard registered at the Hotel
Hyser Friday morning, and represented
himself as the agent Of the Milwaukee
Sentinel. The clerk at the hotel, Satur-
another for similar amount Girard
explained that he was doing the town, -
and said he had lost some money, and
Saturday morning he told Mr. Hyser he
wanted 500 more. Asking for the re-
turn Of the other checks, he issued third
for 5000 to cover the amount of money
which had been advanced. In two re-
sorts in the city he is said to have sue
ceede in getting two more checks cashed,
one for $50 and the other for $40. All
of the checks were drawn up on the First
National bank Of Milwaukee and pur-
ported to have been signed by the
Sentinel company. Under the company g
name he wrote his own Ea - g
Detective King was called in to investi-
gate the case, as the actions of Girard
were suspicious. A telegram to the Mil
waukee bank brought the Information that
Girard had no account with the institu-
ton, and the Sentinel company denied his
connection with the company. Before
this was learned Girard left town, and the
police of Grand Forks, Fargo, Duluth, St
Paul and Milwaukee were asked to watch
for the man. Yesterday he was arrested
as he stepped from a train at Milwaukee
He is said to be under indictment in the
beer city and the police there may MOI

THESE WIN H0NORS
East and South High Schools An

PRETTY STORY AT EAST HIGH
In the Friendship of the Valedic.
tOrian and SalutatOrian-Prize
Winners All Girls.

The winners OF honors in two of the
high schools Of the city have been an
nounced. Miss Carrie Engebretsen, sol

valedictorian Of the class Of 1902 at the
East High school with a grade of "a, and

Miss Julia Johnson, 726 Huron street Sc,

grade is 96.48. The salutatorian is Teresa
Olsen, AS Fourteenth avenue s., whose
grade is 1851.
The honors of the Central and North
High schools have not yet been deter
mined. .aia ,..-
The award of the honors at the East
High school carries with it a very pretty
little story. Miss Engebretsen and Miss
Johnson, who take first and second places
| respectively, have been friends for years
and chums throughout their high school
course. Miss Johnson has worked to a
great disadvantage, being deaf. This dis
advantage, however, has been largely
ovecome through the assistance Of hel
chum, who has literally lent her ears tc
aid her friend in her school work. In the
class Miss Engebretsen has repeated te
her friend the questions put by the teach:
err. This she was enabled to do because
of the fact that Miss Johnson, through
long companionship, had learned to reat
| the motions Of her friends lips. The
companionship has been a delightful one
and the award Of the honors to the two
girls is regarded as pleasing incident il
connection with the closing of the worl

savory Alaskan salmon.
The company expects to put up 40, 600
cases Of four dozen cans each during the
coming season, or about twice the out
put of last year. There will be lively
times at Tonka, without much question
and It's all Minneapolis capital and brains
that is furnishing the motive power.

Omaha officer Says Circular 'Put


Chief of Police Donahue of Omaha
criticizes the st. Paul police for issuing
circulars containing information regard
ing the identity of the three crooks sus
pected of the murder Of Patrolman
Charles Mayer in St. Paul, Feb. /. He
asserts that Havlin, Barker and Inman,
the suspects. were in Omaha and that the
police of that town were ready to swoop
down upon them when enc fact that their
identity was known was published in St.
Paul and Minneapolis and copied in the
newspapers in Omaha. Then the trio
escaped.
E James Murnane of the st. Paul detec-
tive force has been in Sioux City in con-
sultation with the police. Parker and
Havlin, it is said, were traced to Sioux
City three days after the murder by
means of load Of furniture, which was
owned by Sioux City young woman who
had lived with Havlin in Minneapolis. It
is said that the Sioux City woman went
directly to Sioux City and is now there

ATTACK ON THE MAYOR
Rev. e. e. SkOgsbergh Charges City.
Glow Moral Tone" to Him.


Rev. E. A. skogsbergh last night de-
parted from the custom Of Scandinavian
ministers at the close of, four-days'
meeting of the new Swedish Christian
Alliance, and touched upon worldly af-
fairs. In a few brief words he made
known his views, Of the present city adj
m1nistration. In part, he said: '
Minneapolis is a city of churches and among
the Scandinavians great work has been done.
But there is still great work before us.
The moral tone of this community is bad at
the present time, and it is due entirely to our
mayor. 1t Is surprising, indeed, to think that
in city that has SO many excellent citizens,
no tone of the best, instead Of one Of the
worst should be selected as it's mayor.
Fully 1000 were present at the meeting.
The remarks created a sensation, especial
ly when the Minister said:
1t is notorious in our community that the
mayor is intimate with the saloonkeepers and
evildoers and that his administration has not
been, for better moral tone. believe it is
time that we protest against this sort OF
thing and the fragrant trampling down Of the
laws.

PASSED A SEVERE TEST
Mail Autos Ran Last Week Under
Adverse Conditions .'... E'.


Postmaster Lovejoy Is we'll pleased with
the records made by the postoffce automo-
biles during the last few days. Any doubt
as to the ability of the machines to cover the
ground within the time limit in bad weather
IS overcome by the performance of the
vehicles since Thursday afternoon
Skeptical persons have withheld opinions as
to the ability of the automobile to take the
place OF the FORMER means Of collecting mail
in anything but mild weather. On Thursday
the rain turned the streets into lakes of
mud This was followed by three inches OF
snow The combination was enough to pro-
vide means for a thorough test. The Repub-
lie Motor Vehicle company replaced the hard
rubber tires used on good roads with pneu-
mates in preparation for the record which
1t was proposed to make. The results on he
four days, including Sunday, is entirely salts

within schedule time, collecting about fifty.

CREMAT0RY's WORK

412 Tons of Garbage Was Burned In
February.
The health department collected ana
burned at the crematory total OF 412
otns Of garbage during February. OF
this amount 191 tons came from the COM
mission houses and the rest from hotels
and Kitchens. The greatest amount col
lected in any one day was twenty one
tons. and the average for the past week
was very nearly twenty tons per day. The
total cost of collection was 1852, which In
spector McDermott, who has charge OF
this work, estimates is fully 40 per cent
in excess of what it would be il the
crematory was located at some central
point in the city. With the crematory
within mile of the postofice he esti-
mates that saving of $4,000 year
could be affected in the cost Of collection

p. Carlin Says There's No Need of
Outside LabOrers.a
P. Carlin, secretary of the Building
Trades council, denies that BIZ made a
statement to the effect that the business
agents of the various trades were at their
wits ends to furnish men last year. He
says the article printed in a morning pa
per is likely to give outside craftsmen an
idea that Minneapolis Is "Klondike" to
flood the city with transient labor while
craftsmen here are out of work. He says:
1 may state that the article is a clea,
misstatement Of facts. We were in a posi-
ton to furnish men at all times in the build
trade council, In reference to my con-
,ferring with architects and contractors,
may state have not spoken to them on the
conditions Of trade this year, SO I do not
know what the outlook is.
Mr.. Carlin is every emphatic in stating
that no one can predict what the coming
season is to be. There are lots Of men in
all the trades without work in Minneapo-
lis, he says.

men
One reason for the passing of the semi
circular cut In addition to the dislike
many had for it, is the passing of the
high collar. It is relegated as a back
number. Hitherto college men and fad
dists in dress insisted on having their
hair cut so that the round edge showed
above the high back collar. The appear
ance was all right with the collar on, but
sans collar the effect was startling.
The great objection to the round cut
in addition to the discomfort resulting
from the unnatural custom was the fact
that unless the customer. had his neck
shaved repeatedly it soon looked like an
5unshayen face after five days neglect.
The man with the neck didn't realize It.
