FORGERY, BARRETT SAYS,
Minister to Colombia accuses Secre-
tary of Theft.

Arthur &. Alexander. private secretary to John
Barrett, United States Minister to Colombia, was
arraigned before Magistrate Breen in the JEFF
ferson Market court yesterday charged with
forgery. Minister Barrett appeared against
him. Alexander was held in $1,000 bail for ex-
animation to-day, and not being able to give
bail, was locked up in the court prison.
Alexander was arrested yesterday morning at
the Brighton Beach Hotel. His wife. a bride OF
a few weeks, was with him.
Mr.. Barrett said that July his typewriter
was taken from his room in the Waldorf-Astoria
and the day following two checks were re-
turned to him. One for $75. drawn on the
CheI-icaI National Bank, and had been cashed
by the hotel clerk, who said it had been given
to him by Alexander. The second check was for
S33 60, and had been similarly cashed by the
clerk of the ST. Paul. where Alexander and his
wife had lived for ten days
Alexander is said to be a member of one Of
the best known families In this country, but
neither Minister Barrett nor the detectives would
give any information about the case more than
the few details which came out in the brief court
hearing. Minister Barrett accuses Alexander Of
forging both checks and stealing the typewriter.

Daniels bought wooster's claim for $500 max
ing $500 in the transaction. he said.
Wooster was called again before Mr. KroteI,
and said Colonel Mann refused to go into the
Americas Smart Set scheme because he
wanted more than Wooster thought it wise TO
pay. Wooster added:
wrote him letter. however, and asked him
again about the matter, as he had asked for a
little time. I said l could not wait much longer
for his decision. and that unless 1 heard from
him by a certain date l should consider that
he did not want to go on with the book. did
not hear from him by the time specified, and
dismissed any thought from my mind about
going with him. Then l went ahead with
the Americas Smart Set" myself.

WILL INVESTIGATE
 IRREGULARITIES Superintendent Hill Looks Into Charges of Cheating WILL UPRoOT THE EVIL Bad Condition of Affairs Is Found In Winston County, Developed By
 the January Exam
 nations.
WILL UPRoOT THE EVIL

Montgomery, April 15.-tSpecial)- )-State Superintendent of Education l. w. Hin has just completed. an investigation of what seems to have been a bad condition Of affairs among the teachers of Winston county, developed by the January exam nations. It is said that politics had much to do with the alleged irregularities and that several who could not pass the re- qu1red examinations secured favorable reports on showings that were not ade- ouate. Superintendent Hill has determS1ed to uproot the alleged evil which he thinks is quite prevalent in the state and has made things pretty lively for some of the supposed offenders.
 When the examinatl)ns were to be held last January tbe state superintendent by request, appointed a man not in the state service to hold it. There was such sim ilarity of tne reports when they came in that the examine. refused to grant certificates on many of them Eleven were turned down for this reason. After an investigation seven of the nine certificates that were issued were recalled. Only one Of the applicants aas seeking a first grade certificate ana he received it, but later was forced to return 1t. One of the ineffieiences of the state law Is that there Is no penalty for such practices. Though there may be cheating and substitution and even brbing in cases of the kind there is not a statute that can reach tnem
