boston Street Railway Company Said
to Have Lost 100000 Thereby.
Boston, Sept. 23,-An extensive fraud
has been perpetrated on the Boston &
Northern Street Railway company by
the printing of bogus transfer checks.
their sale to conductors at a nominal
price, who turned them in at full value.
The police have the names of more
than twenty conductors who have been
turning in these bogus checks for sev-
eral months. Fully $4,000 Of these
worthless checks a week have turned
up since last November, and it is be-
lieved that the loss will equal if not
exceed 100000.
Two employees were arrested. The
men are Herbert E. ShaWman, janitor
at he Central Square station, and
Herbert Morris, conductor on the Lynn
& Boston division. Shawman admitted
having purchased about $4,000 worth
Of the counterfeit transfers, while Nor
F1s, at the time of his arrest, had 400
bogus checks in his pockets.
The investigation has led Chief In
spector Watts and other police officials
to the belief thai fully one-half the
on this system have been
guilty of trading in bogus checks, at
one time or another, for three years.
The police also believe the fraud will
be found to extend to other street rail-
way systems, including those In some
cities.

PrestonSburg, NY, Sept. 24.-Short-
~ after leaving here this morning COL
onel koltz n his band of cavalry Sal
alton Army men got an insight into
real m~oonshining. They were
looking for an audience and inquired of
A boy If there was a crowd Of people at
any point nearby. The boy said down
under the bluff on the Onyck there
were a number of men and boys and
the SalVationistS left the main road and
followed the path leading around the
mountain.
Presently they heard two shots from
a revolver and stopped, wondering if
some one had fired at them. They
looked ahead and saw a log cabin, and
men and boys running in every direc-
ton. They did not know the meaning
until a guide explained that they prob
ably were approaching a moonshine
still and that the shots had been fired
by the to warn the operators of
the approach Of strangers.
After a short consultation Major
White and the guide rode up to the
cabin. No one was t~hereabout. They
found a brand new still in operation.
Finally one man who had remained
near enough to recognize the men, see
ing that they were not uniformed SOL
diers, returned and asked who they
We're. He was assured that no harm
was intended and was asked to call
back his friends and start up the still
again. He did so by ringing a bell.
When they had all returned the Sal
Vationists. having by this time encir-
cled the place, held services while the
moonshiners stood about in groups.
When the SalvationistS approached

flrst of a detachment of twelve troopers

THEY WANT TO KNOW.
Democrats to interrogate President
About That Eastern Trip,

Washington, Sept. 23.-It is said that
ne democrats in the senate will intro
duce a resolution, soon after congress
c~ohFenes, demanding information
about the alleged practice of President
roosevelt in obtaining and using spe-
cial trains and special cars from vari-
u railroads and paying nothing fol-
the service. The resolution has been
prepared and only awaits discussion
by the democrats before it is put in
final shape.
1t recites the fact that the public
press or the country, and particularly a
portion of the republican press, has
openly charged that the president paid
none of the expenses of his trip to the
racine coast by special train. which
lasted siNty-siX days, but that the ex-
penses of every kind, Including wines
liquors and food, were paid bv the
railroads over which the train ran,
continuing, the resolution calls atten-
ton to the frequent other trips of the
president since he succeeded Mr., Nc
kinley, and hen demands information
as to who paid the expenses of these
trips.

Some idea Of the tone Of the press
against foreigners can be gathered from
the following: FL Combate of Carcass.
AFTER criticising all the umpires, said:
:. Yes, let them take our gold, but let
them not celebrate at a social gather
ing the contamination of their infamy.
Let them load themselves with our

Let them with an impious hand rifle

Let them. drink champagne and

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23.-The Western
eague is no longer a happy family. The
suspension of the organization has pre-

.or a long time. The owner and manager
of the Omaha team, William Rourke. laws
he blame for the increased losses of some

If the others who back the organization.
Tom Burns and D. C. Packard cleaned
up all there was to be had on home
grounds, he said, and when the transpor-
alton bills confronted them, they appealed
to Van Brunt Of st. Joe, and had the
season brought to a summary close when
the rest of the club owners had the
transportation bills out of the way and
were about to start a home series. Mil
Waukee and Omaha were the chief suf-
ferers.
Discord exists between Rourke and the
hackers of the league, because Hugh
Dufyy and Burns would not supply Oma-
IA with players in the middle of the sea-
son when the team vas losing. Manager
ttourke holds that the termination of the
season invalidates the agreement fixing
the duration Of the league at five years
and allows him to consider proposals from
the American association looking to the
transfer Of Omaha to that organization.
The attendance at Omaha when the team
was in a first class league was $40, 900 and
