MISSOURI GANG BUSY
CASTING QUEER CHECKS

Another fraud is being ventilated by
the Minnesota Bankers association thru
its protective committee. The plan is
operated by a gang Of Missouri confed-
crates. One. Minnesota bank has been
defrauded and two others have been ap-
preached. The operation is after this
manner. , -. :. Ez A&,- -
A member Of the gang goes to the
city stockyards or some public gath
erlng out in the country, such as fair
or circus, picks his man, and engages
him in conversation regarding a pro-
posed scheme. On the strength of mis-
representations made by the swindler,
the victim is finally induced to sign his
name and address in what purports to
be memorandum book. Instead of the
signature s being written on a leaf of
the memorandum book, however, it is
written on the signature line of a check.
the body Of which is ingeniously con-
cealed. During the conversation, it is
an easy matter for the crook, who is in
variably a smooth talker, to ascertain
what bank the victim does business
with. The check is later changed to
suit the requirements and filed out for
the amount to be drawn. ~
The fraudulent piece of paper is then
taken or sent to the city, passed thru
| the hands of several confederates, final
ly reaching one of the city banks thru
a minor depositor, for collection. The
check, having genuine signature, is
likely to be honored when sent to the
bank on which it is drawn, unless the
circumstances surrounding the transac.
tion are carefully considered. If the
check is honored, the "depositorO is
given credit by the city bank; if not
the check goes back to the & depositor, .
who, in either event, is doubtless an &C.
cessory to the. crime, but when ques
toned concerning the origin Of the

WHAT IS A CIGARET?
JUDGE SETTLES QUERY

Princeton, Ind, Sept. 2o.-In in
structing the special grand jury today,
Judge Oscar M. Welborn of the Glib
son circuit court supplemented his re-
cent Interpretation of the anticigaret
law by instructing the jury to the
effect that a cigaret was cigaret in
the meaning of the law, whether
wrapped in tobacco, paper or corn
husks. Judge Welborn read to the jury
a dictionary description Of a cigaret,
which says:
"Cigaret-A small cigar made of
finely cut tobacco rolled up in an en-
velop Of tobacco, corn husks or thin
paper, generally rice paper, SO as to
form a cylinder open at both ends.'
In speaking to the jury the court
said that, beyond all doubt, this was
the definition the legislators had in
mind when they passed the anticigaret
laws; that it was passed toacover all
kinds of cigaret smoking He there
fore instructed the jury to take cog
nizance of all violations of the cigaret
law under this Interpretation. & -

Watched at Post Exchange,

I'm the post exchange, when man
shows the least sign Of getting tipsy
he is refused any more driHk. Should
he get more than is good for him, he
is in the post, his comrades take him
to his quarters, and he does not miss
any calls. When the time approaches
for rollcall or duty call, the exchange
steward calls attention to the fact, and
men leave to attend to their duties
The profits from the post exchange go
to benefit the soldiers table, supply
him with extras and even small luxu-
ries, which have beneficial effect upon
the men.
To sum the whole matter up, will
state here, and believe every officer,
chaplain and enlisted man Of several
years service will concur in my belief,
that the army should be governed by
the officers whom the government as
ing for their vocation at the great
institution at West Point, who are with
the soldier for many years, and know
their wants; who study the soldiers
and train them for the purpose for
which they are intended; who treat
them as men, not as children or boys.
Our army is the best treated, best
clothed, best fed and best paid army
in the world, and If let alone, will work
out its own salvation.
e It would also diminish the number
Of assertions if a soldier would have
the privilege to ask for and get his
discharge at the expiration Of the first
year Of the first enlistment. By that
time he would know his own mind.
Knowing that he could get out in a
year, he would hold out, and when the
year rolled round he, in many cases,
would reconsider the matter, being then
better acquainted with the service,
would remain and make good soldier.

Governor Robert M. La Toilette of
Wisconsin sees in the possible railroad
monopoly. of the future, the greatest
menace Of American public rights.
In an address on Representative
Government in the Central Presby-
terrain church in st. Paul last evening,
Governor La Toilette gave his views on
all the evils Of the present day. John
D. Rockefeller and the railroads come
IN for large share, OF the speaker g
attention. The oil king was scored as
other man to destroy honesty and in
tegrity." His methods were scored Sc
verely, especially those relating to his
control Of the oil and coal Of the coun-
"There might come time,'' said
the speaker, "when some Rockefeller,
as much richer than the Rockefeller Of
today as John D. is richer than the gen
ei preceding him, will gain con 20, !
then looking over the farms Of the
whole land say, why should not be-
come the landlord of all this?''
He urged on his hearers the import
ance Of honest officials and honest con-
gressional representatives and keeping
them lined up to the mark. Corpora
lions were scored for their methods
used in influencing legislation.
A significant reference was made to
the president in the following state
ment: - w..
"Roosevelt in his message in 1901
said that all shippers should be treated
alike, and that for existing evils there
should be speedy remedy. That was
in 1901. Shippers and their associa-
tions have been asking for relief ever
since, but nothing has been done. Do

The schooner Charles Levi Woodbury.
escaped destruction in the hurricane
last July. Fears for her safety were
allayed this morning when the U. S. S.
Iroquois arrived from a special cruise
to Laysan Island and other islands in
quest of the missing vessel. Captain
Niblack reports that the Woodbury. left
Laysan safely on August II for Homo
lulu and should arrive here at any
time. But the schooner did have
narrow escape from being lost in the
storm.
The same storm that caused such
havoc aboard the schooner Lavinia
struck the Woodbury. on July 13. Cap
tain Weisbarth of the Lavinia thought
that the Woodbury. had been unable to
weather the hurricane. So soon after
his arrival in Honolulu, Captain Ly-
on, the naval commandant, dispatched
the Iroquois to search for the missing
schooner.
Captain Niblack with the Iroquois
stopped at all of the various islands
and reefs lying between Honolulu and
Laysan Island, as he thought it possi-
BILE that the schooner might have been
wrecked on some of them or else some
survivors of the vessel, If wrecked,
might be marooned on some of those
islands. Absolutely no trace of the yes
sci was found nor indeed was anything
else of interest noticed about the ISL

Frigate the hull of the wrecked French
bark Connetable de Richemont was to
be seen on her beam ends. Only one
mast was in the vessel.
The Iroquois left Honolulu August II
and arrived at Laysan on August 21.
The vessel was greeted by Captain Max
Schlemmer who came out in a shore
boat, AS soon as Captain Niblack saw
Schlemmer, the naval officer knew that
the Woodbury. must have survived the
storm. Such surmise proved to be cor
rect. For although the Woodbury. was
not then in sight, she had left for Ho-
nolulu in good shape.
Schlemmer had been a passenger on
the Woodbury. at the time of the storm.
He says that the hurricane was the
worst of the kind he had ever expert
enced. He had been in typhoons but
the hurricane surpassed all of those
marine disturbances. The main boom
of the vessel was sprung and her fore
sail was torn by the gale. The vessel
was hove to but 1t was found impossi-
BILE to hold her head up against the
torn, so she had to cut loose and run
for it. She was swept far to the south

the place and stead of the remainder
men.
1.-The respective and divergent in
terests of life tenants and remainder
men in the estate continually present
niceties of discrimination to the ad
ministrator.
"In the matter of this particular es-
tate the Supreme Court in 18th Ha
waiian says of the administrators pre-
decessor The trustee was trustee for
the remaindermen as well as for the
life beneficiaries.'
And in this connection 1 have to
say that the views of the present life
tenant, Mr. Colburn, as expressed to
me, do not agree with the foregoing
he holding that construction of the
will of the testatOr by the court will
be necessary to determine the status
of the parties herein"
Sims generally approves the accounts
of Long. The petition of Colburn, for
the sale of the land will serve to bring
about a settlement of the question as
to who are the real owners. Hollis
will may therefore be the subject of
another contest. 1t has been in con-
tests more or less for nearly sixty years

the woods yet

low the sale of to ]. r. Calf for $10S,OOO.
The report is by w. r. Sims, on the ac-
counts of Carlos Long as administrator
of the estate, and it expresses the view
that Colburn's interest is only for life,
and that the Holt heirs are eventually
the owners of the property which Col
burn asks the court to allow to be
sold for $1OS,OOO The matter is for
the courts to decide, according to the
report, which contains the following:
"This life tenancy has been assign
