yet been made public it has been an
nounced, however, that several hun
dred dollars will be available for relief
work as a result of the performance.
The Maccabee minStrels, the first part
of the performance, were par excellent.
All the jokes were new, or else dressed
in such a manner they appeared new.
The work Of the Soloists and endmen
was pleasing and satisfying. Every
member of the minstrel troupe is de-
serving of praise for his work.
The second part Of the program was
In the form of vaudeville olio.
The numbers for this were furnished
by the various theaters. Hugh CAL
lender, in tenor solo entitled "Be
Like Soldier Fair" was good. Henry
Stockbrldge and Fay BANTER In a
clever stunt called my Merry Olds-
mobile" were roundly applauded. Carl
Unger, "the one man orchestra" dis
played wonderful musical versatility.
Taken all in all the performance was
well worth while. J. j. Cooke acted as
director of the entertainment. Oliver
Morosco donated the use of the theater
and orchestra.

BANK DECL|N ES
TO PROSECUTE
POLICE TRACE MANY SMALL
F0RGERIES
Pasadena Man Accused of Passing
Worthless Checks on Women.
Wife Makes Good to Some
Victims

Although Howard Smith Rogers of
Pasadena is believed by the police to
be guilty of the forgery of several
small checks cashed at local banks, it
was stated yesterday that no prosecu-
tlon would follow, owing to the reluc-
tance of bank officials to institute pro-
ceedingS.
Mrs. M. Burg, residing at 527 West
Seventh street, informed the police yes
terday afternoon that she had check
for So in her possession that purported
to be signed by Mrs. Eleanor Rogers,
but was returned by the German
American Savings bank as forgery.
Mrs. Burg said she cashed tho check
for Rogers and then presented it in the
usual way at her own bank, the Ger
man-American Savings bank. 1t was
sent to the First National bank of
Pasadena for collection and came back
with the word forgery" written across
its face in red ink.
Mrs. Burg wrote to Mrs. Rogers and
later received a letter from Albert S.
Van Ettein, Pasadena lawyer as
follows:
Says Man Is Guilty
Mrs Rogers has referred to me your
letter of the 25th, Just received. I
regret to say that you are not the only
victim of Mr.. Rogers moral obliquity.
Mrs. Rogers paid these checks as long
as she could, but has reached her limit
and L fear that the law will have to
take its course. He has caused Mrs.
Rogers a great deal of annoyonce and
trouble, and think is hardly respon-
sible mentally, though whether the
court would take that view of 1t is a
question. am sorry that you have
suffered In the affair"
Mrs. Burg also showed the police a
letter from the German-American Saw
ings bank, stating that her account had
been charged with the amount of the
alleged forged check which she cashed
for Rogers.
Mrs. Burg wanted the police to arrest
Rogers on the evidence she had secured
by her own eXertions. but was informed
that detectives were working on the
case"
Rogers recently roomed at the Ches-
ter apartment house, 454 South Spring
street, but is now believed to be In
Pasadena.
Owing to the small amounts of the
alleged forgeries, the bank people seem
disinclined to prosecute.
Detectives said that under the law
of this state 1t would be almost i'm
possible to obtain a conviction of a
husband charged with forging the sig
nature Of his wife.
Mrs. Rogers is a professional nurse
at Pasadena and has had much worry
over numerous unpaid bills and worth
less checks Of her husband, say the
police.
