Clever Crook
Arrestes at Slater, IND. Obtain
ed Money by Impersonating
Henry Whiteman


Deputy Marshall tdsen receiv-
ed a message yesterday announc-
ing that a crook whom he was on
the trail of had been arrested in
Slater, No. The story is an in
teresting one.
Some time ago w. Whiteman, of
this city received a letter from San
Francisco, purtorting to be from
his brother, Henry Whiteman. The
letter asked that money be sent.
Mr.. Whitman sent a draft which
was cashed in San Franciso, sup
possibly by his brother.
A few weeks ago, party how
gave his his name as Henry Bur
CESS made his appearance in this
city. He brought an order on Mr..
Whiteu.an for $40, signed with the
name Henry Whitman. The order
was paid and Burgess left town.
A week later, Mr.. Whiteman receiv-
ed letter from Slater, Mo-, pur-
porting to come from Henry
Whiteman and asking for more
money. AT the same time a letter
came from Henry Whiteman IN
San Francisco. Mr.. Whiteman at
once suspected fraud and notified
Deputy Madsen.
Madsen at once issued papers
for the arrest Of William Burgess
and sent them to U. S. Marshall
Dunham in Kansas City. AT the
same time a he wrote a decoy let
ter to Henry Whiteman, Slater Mo.
He also notified the postofice in
spector at KansasCity Marshall
Durham arrested Burgess when he
called for the Whiteman letter at
Slater.
When arrested the crook con-
fessed that his name was Whitman
He said that he had met Henry
Whiteman in San Francisco and he
just thonght that he would draw
on brother Viii for expense money.
Whitman is now in Jail at Jeffer-
fraudulent.purposes. Later ne WIN ,
probably be indicted and tried
here for obtaining money under
false pretens-s and for forgery.

A Complete Record.

Few people have any idea of the great
extent OF the House library It con-
tains copies OF all the printed pro-
ceedings pertaining TO sessions Of Con-
gress.
At present fourteen duplicate copies
of each House document are kept on
file. Formerly there were fifty of each.
Even in those days nearly all the space
was choked up.
Up in a little loft that overlooks
Statuary Hail, where few people would
notice IL, Mr.. Boobar, the librarian, now
holds his sway. Far down below in the
basement, about quarter Of a mile
away. Mr. Boobar has another domain.
It is In the upper Office, however, that
he transacts most Of his business. II
IS in this document room that he keeps
the latest issues. He usually has enough
on hand 10 supply all the needs of
members.
The basement library is known as the
reserve" This extends all the way
under The Capitol and covers half an
acre In IL are stored an immense num-
Der Of books. A very different scene
IS presented there now than what form
erly existed.

Task Seemed Impossible.

when I first went down IN that base
nnent three years ago" said Mr.. Bcobar.
7 thought l had an almost impossible
task before me The room was so full
Of dust that at the opening Of the door
it few up in my face and nearly choked
me
Half a century's dust lay on the floor
and on the books nearly an inch deep.
There was furthermore little evidence Of
any attempt on the part OF those who
had charge Of It TO arrange the books
with any semblance Of regularity. Most
OF the books were kicking around the
floor like so many blocks Of wood.
i saw at once that II was necessary
10 get the place clean and new before
anything could be done in the matter
of arrangement So ] had one OF the
rooms completely emptied. l then began
the work Of sorting all the rest Of the
basement library. with the clean room
as a sort OF reservoir.

MIR. Boobar. who took charge of the

When Congress convenes again this
fall Representatives desiring TO deIve

astonished TO find the former dusty old
document rooms transformed into a
thing of beauty. The search for books
IS made so easy that undoubtedly the
library will enjoy a big increase in popi-
larity
The House library has an interesting
history. Many unique characters were
connected with il Among them was
Billy Smith, an old-time negro. who
was employed about the place. but who
IN reality was the only one who could
ever md a book on the tOpsy-turvy

esteem and patronage of those old-ti
leaders who rOamed about the archive

to back Up their arguments
1t Il said that old Billy Smith ac-
eompllshed the feat of locating books
by sheer force Of memory. At that
time there was no special system for
the arrangement of the volumes and
the various records or congress. ana
legislative documents were tucked away
IN many odd hooks When the other
librarians could not lay their hands on
the desired books they would send for

time the pa per keeps II clean and new

volumes vary for the different Con-

Contrast that With the records OF our
last session, for instance, where space
for twelve volumes Is required, on the
shelf, and each Of these volumes Is an
octave. with coo pages each. OF course
the stenographfc form OF reporting has
aided IN the increase.
