Thief Carries Clippings Describing

/, New York, Oct s.-Clippings from sew
eral newspapers telling a the escapades
of a man who has a habit of calling him
self the son of such prominent citizens as
J. P. Morgan, Marcus A. Hanna. and other
wealthy men, seem likely to involve a
prisoner of the local police in a tangle with
the authorities of several cities. The man
gives his name as Albert I. Brown and the
clippings tell of clever thefts committed
all over the country by a man known as
Louis G. Mcdowell. =
He was arrested here while posing in a
Fifth avenue shop as J. p. Morgan. Jr.
Having selected, at 5000 an opera cloak, he
said he would take it along in his car
riage and the money would be forwarded
from his office. The clerk became sus-
picious and after some parleying Brown
made a dash for the street with the cloak.
Two detectives happened near by and
caught him. They believe he is the man
referred to in the clippings and that he
has operated in Cleveland, Chicago, st.
Louis and Milwaukee, and many other
places.

Duluth, MINI, Oct. 6.--There will be
comparatively little ship building on the
great lakes the coming winter. Vessel
owners went wild a year ago tho there was
no reason for any great increase Of tom
mage.
In the year closed with Oct. 1, 1908. six
ty-five freight ships were built and
launched on the lakes. These We're all OF
the most modern and largest type OF ore.
coal and grain carriers, and each was cap
able of about 5000 gross tons trip. The
combined capacity Of the new ships for a
season Is about 4,750,000 gross tons of
cargo To this must be added about a
dozen new Canadian ships, built in Eng
land and brought over to compete for eX-
port trade on the lakes.
Tho there has been slight increase in
tonnage moved to and from Lake Superior
this year. there has been a decrease moved
to and from Chicago and Milwaukee, and
the total for the full year will probably
be about what it was last There was
actually no need of these ships, except In
so far as they replaced old vessels or as a
shorter season required a greater business
per day to equate the total.
Freight rates for the year have been
fairly well maintained but 1t has been
only at the cost Of delays and annoying
difficulties at docks. OF export cargoes
there have been very few from American
ports. s-4r,. ..
This fall contracts for new ships are
few. There are some big car ferries for a
new trade, one steamship of $50 feet over
all, the biggest ever contemplated for the
lakes, a few smaller cargo vessels, several
fine passenger ships and that Is all
