Cashed for Himself

Des Moines, Feb. 11.-Checles John,
son, alias U. 2. Green, charged with
an extremely clever forgery at In

and said to be noted crook. was cap
tured on q Rock Island train at At.
lantic last evening on information fur
nished by Deputy Sheriff Jones OF this
| city. Johnson had been In Des
Moines through the day and was head

message sent to Sheriff Marshall at
Atlantic from this city.
Johnson succeeded at Indtanola IN
achieving one OF the smoothest pieces
of forgery that has been attempted In
this part Of the country. He went to
Indianola Monday and represented
himself as U. z. Green. a noted cattle
man and prominent Shorthorn
breeder of Danville, Ill. He visited
the stock farm of Brown & Randolph
and meeting Mr.. e. w. Brown, repre-
scented himself as Green. Mr.. Brown
had met Green at the international
Live Stock exposition in Chicago and
recalled the name clearly, though he
did not remember Green's features
and naturally supposed the man who
appeared before him was the noted
breeder himself. Johnson proceeded
to go through the herd Of about 150
cattle and with the skill Of an expert
picked out six head Of blooded cat.
tie, the finest in the herd. He dis
played wonderfully clear knowledge
OF stock and talked about cattle in a
way that was little short Of astonish-
ing to Mr.. Brown. The latter was
more than ever convinced 1t was
Green he was talking to and thought
nothing Of it when the sale had been
made and johnson presented check
for $4,000, the cost Of the stock. drawn
on Danville bank. The check was
special form bearing the printing OF
u. 2. Green Of Danville. Mr.. Brown
went with Johnson to the First Ma.
tional bank at Indianola. There
Brown did not attempt to have the
check cashed, but receipted for 1t and
deposited 1t to his account.
AS soon as Brown had deposited his
check, Johnson drew another check
for 5000, payable to U. T. Green. He
said he wanted some spending money.
He presented the check to j. F. Simp-

taken by the president, so far as
Dewey was concerned. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the presi-
dent, unofficially at least, will
acquaint Baron Won Sternberg,
the German minister, with Ad-
miral Dewey's explanation.
The presidents action has
caused sensation here, and in
some quarters he is being criti-
cised Tor making the incident so
formal and public. Ordinarily
the secretary of the navy would
have been the proper authority
to call Admiral Dewey to task,
but it is learned that the presi-
dent did not consult the secretary
regarding Dewey's conduct.

GERMANY WROUGHT UP.

Alter paying a warm tribute
to the American navy, which,
Admiral Dewey says is "the
greatest navy In the world" the
admiral says: "The German navy
is an entirely different organiza-
ton in its makeup of human
material. | have made a deep
study of that navy. My belief is
that its efficiency in possible
action is overestimated. The
men do not begin to compare in
education and intelligence with
the Americans. Their men have
in my opinion been educated so
that they look to the officers and
depend upon them for specific
instructions in the least matters.
They have not the self-reliance
of Americans"
Of the Caribbean sea manoeuv-
res the admiral says:
"They were the greatest object
lesson of that kind probably that
the world has ever seen. 1t was
more All object lesson to the
kaiser than to any other person.
Think of it, 81 warships, includ
ing colliers and all Germany
could not possibly get a fleet
over there that could fight such
an aggregation of warships as
that"
1t is learned that the
admiral's remarks have been
cabied in eXtenso to the Berlin
foreign Office from the embassy
here.
That the president strongly
disapproVed of Admiral Dewey's
action in rejecting upon the
German emperor and his navy in
a recent interview was strikingly
illustrated by sensational Incl
dent which occurred at the White
House today.
The president summoned the
admiral before him and asked
for an explanation of his conduct.
The admiral explained at
length what he had said about
Germany and the kaiser and of
fered as an excuse the fact that
he had neglected to state to his
interviewer that the remarks
were confidential and not intend.
ed for publication. Admiral
Dewey told the president he
deeply regretted the publicity
given the interview and hoped it
would not embarrass the admin.

STORM SWEPT COAST.
Seafaring Men Stayed on Shore
For Safety.

FOR Safety.
Newport News, March 30
Heavy damage ashore and afloat
was wrought by wind and wave
during the storm which has ragged
in the past "a hours. The storm
eliminated today in violent
gale. The tide reached danger
point within 21 feet of the level
of the floors of the piers and
threatened to bring great disas-
ter to property along the water
front.
TO venture out into the raging
seas was equivalent to attempt
ing suicide, and many seafaring
men stayed on shore last night
rather than risk their lives on
the waves.
The two masted schooner VIM.
B. Hall, bound up the James
River to Norfolk with $4,000
brick, sank her anchorage and
will probably be a total loss.
The captain and crew of two men
put off from the boat in an open
skift as she was going down and
attempted to reach shore. The
men, who were negroes, fought
frantically against the elements.
They were finally compelled to
give up the fight and sank ex-
hausted into the bottom of the
boat. The men were exposed to
the storm until 6 O'Clock this
morning, when they were rescued
by the Chesapeake and Ohio tug
Alice. They were almost frozen
when picked up.
The dead body of William COL
lier of the oyster pungy W. Fl.
Smith, which capsized in Chesa-
peake bay Jan. 80, was cast up
by the sea at Ocean View today.
The body of negro, probably
from shipwreck in last nights
storm, was found in fishermen's
net at the mouth of Hampton
creek, this afternoon. The corpse
has not been identified.
FIFTY-Two MILES AN HOUR.
Norfolk, Va, March 3O.-The
northwest storm that swept down
the Atlantic coast yesterday and
this morning played havoc
among the small shipping and
tied up coastwise trade almost
completely. Hampton Roads is
full of sailing craft awaiting a
decrease in the heavy swells now
running. AT Cape Henry winds
reached a velocity of So miles an
hour and the big wireless tele-
graph masts at Ocean View and
Fort Monroe were blown down.
The naval collier Leonidas,
while attempting to change her
moorings in the harbor, coIlided
with the schooner Minnie and
Emma of this port, anchored
near her, and carried away stern
yawl and davits. Capt. Wyatt
entered complaint at the navy
yard. The collier subsequently
cleared for Boston.
The high tide prevailing in the
harbor flooded Inc streets in the
lower section of the city and for
a time traffic was suspended.
