rying through the state examination

macy Clyde G. Huntley, president,

courage Hodges, Who Passed
Forged Order Upon S. G. Bitner for
S45 and Got Away With the Money
Question Raised as to Who VIII
Lose Portion of the Amount-Last
Performance Was Later Than the
Unsuccessful One.

persistent and a versatile crook |
is b. f. Hodge, who yesterday tried
to pass a raised check upon H. II.
Vessel, but failed in the attempt
owing to the vigilant eye of George
Hartman at the First National bank.
Last evening it developed that i'm
mediately after his unsuccessful at
tempt at check raising, Hodge chang
ed his name to n. b. Taylor and
passed a forged order upon S. C. Bit
ner for The sum of $45 and got away
with the money. The forged order
was signed with the name of George
Flemming.
According to the story, the above
amount of money was left on deposit
with Mr.. Bitner by Flemming some
time ago. a receipt being taken for
the same During the recent harvest
Hodge and Flemming worked to-
gether with the same threshing crew,
| and the latter says that the receipt
was stolen from him by Flemming
| Also. that he did not write any order
| i'm favor of Taylor, Hodge or any
one else for the amount. Conse-
ouently it seems that after stealing
the receipt from his fellow harvester,
Hodge wrote an order in favor of
himself as b. n. Taylor and pro-
ceeded to collect the same from Mr..
Bitner. The payment was made by
Mr.. Bimer in checks, one being for
the sum of s29, which was cashed
by the swindler ut the Workingmen
clothing store. On learning of the
fraud that had been worked, Mr.. Bit
ner ordered payment stopped on the
checks and the same was done. AS
result. the check for S29 Is still
held by Mr.. Moses, and it is appar-
emily a question as to who Is golns
to lose by the operation.
From the description that wa'
given of his man by Mr.. Bitner, there
= is no doubt but that he and Hodge
are one and the same, and that after
falling in his attempt to pass th'
raised check upon Mr.. Vessel he pro
ceeded to work a different game II

Rev. T. r. Egerton leaves tonight
for Seattle to attend the national |,
meeting of the American Board of
the Foreign Missionary society OF The
Congregational church. Washington
GLADDEN. will be in attendance and one
of the important things which will
come up for discussion is whether the
missionary board will accept what
GLADDEN. terms tainted money" from
John d. Rockefeller. The American
board was organized in 1910 in Mas
sachusetts and originally embraced
various denominations but gradually
the other denominations formed asso-
Citations of their own and now the
American board is confined to the
Congregational church. The special
train will stop at Walla Walla today
and hold special services at Whitman
college after which they will proceed
TO Seattle. This board spends a MIL
lion a year for missions. A large dele
cation from the New England states
will be in attendance.
The session begins September IA.
A renewal and a probable settlement
of the fight over DR.. Washington
Gladden's tainted money issue will
likely be the most important feature
of the sessions. Upon the final out
come of this issue will probably de-
pend the church's policy in the future.
1t is not a matter of general knowl-
edge, but Congregationalists under
stand the Rockefeller gift over which
the storm arose is an annual contribu-
ton. Past contributions cannot be af-
fected by the result of DR.. Gladden's
renewal of the fight, but the future
stake is a large one. 1t has already
been made known that DR.. Gladdens
compromise position will be to direct
the prudential committee not to solicit
money from men whose fortunes have
been made by questionable methods.
Ministers here believe that DR.
GLADDEN. will lose his fight They be-
lieve the prudential committee cannot
be set up as body of moral censors
and that the work of the church would
be seriously crippled by any such at
tempt.
An issue that will probably affec
the main fight will be the appeal Of
the Chinese missions for money. Thi:
appeal will be heard on the opening
day and will be urged by missiOnarie!
