PICKED Law CLERK As CROOK
Hotel Men Needed Two Tries TO identify
worthless Check SwIndler.

The young man calling himself George
Waller of 1872 Sixth avenue who was ar
rested Saturday afternoon in the Hotel
Marlborough charged with passing worth
less checks, was arraigned yesterday before
Magistrate Walsh, in the Jefferson Market
police court.
Waller was brought TO court by Detec-
tives White and McNanus OF the Tender
loin station. Clerks representing the Aston.
Victoria Manhattan and Herald Square
hotels were in court 70 see If Waller was
the ma who had passed bad checks on them
as we'll AZ on the Marlborough.
The defendant was lined up in a corridor
with a dozen other men and the hotel clerks
we're asked to pick out their man. With
unanimity the clerks chose one man from
the line. but the man wasn't Waller. IL
was Johnnie Norton, a clerk for Lawyer
Bohlan. There was a laugh at the clerks
expense; then on a second inspection they
chose Waller.
All the checks given TO the various hotels
we're drawn on the Lincoln Trust Company,
but they bore many names. The Hoffman
House got a check for s36 drawn nv Walter
Camp, president, and payable to Edgar
Kent Ammon. When Walters baggage
was searched, in addition TO a Lincoln Trust
Company check book there was found a
card bearing the name FtKaT N. AnlfnDtl.
Grienwald Theatre. New Orleans. A time
stamp on the beck of the card showed
hat Ammon had called upon Waller At the
hoffman House.
The Aston got a small check payable 10
T.. J. Bannon. There II a well known man
in Atlanta, Ga. Of that name. From these
facts il q that Waller may be from
The South. although the police have been
unable a. yet To discover the real name of
The prisoner.
At the Herald Square Hotel Waller
gave a check for $50. At the Marlborough
he gave one for STA 90, signed Thomas
Benedict, trustee. The check he gave
at the Victoria was signed Emil +. Camp,
trustee. IL was for $50.
The total amount obtained on these
checks wa about $50. The man was uni
formly successful in fooling the clerks
because he worked a new trick. Instead
! of asking for the face value Of the check,
or any money at all, he would say TO the
clerk: Here's a check for 30 much. Put
IL through and credit il 10 my account"
Perhaps twelve hours later he would saunter
in and remark that he was short Of change,
asking for S. OF $40. Thu clerk never had
any hesitation in advancing the money.
Waller had nothing 20 say when a~rraigned.
He took his arrest coOlly and laughed as
heartily as any one over the failure of the
clerks to pick him from the line OF men.
Magistrate Barlow held him in 81 900 and
set the examination for to-day.

zATIoN ALTHoUGH THEY
HAVE BEEN APPEAL
Ep TO.

Members Of the local circle. number
fourteen, of The Homeless 26, hardly
know what to think of the reports that
are coming from Ptttsburg in regard
to internal dlssensions IN that order.
The Pfttsburg Press recently publish
ed a two column article which puts
s. NJ. Williams. general secretary. of
the order, In. q bad light aud hsi as
written a denial to prominent local
members of the order and Is making
overtures for the support of the local
circle in the controversy.
The Homeless 26 was formed at
Plttsburg ON Thanksgiving 1904 by
John ]. Davis, a travelling man who had
headquarters in Indianapolis. The or
der has grown rapidly and local cir
cIes were formed some time ago at
Fairmont, Wheeling and other points:
The Fatrmont circle is now in very
prosperous condition. Col. r. E. Hard
wick is president of the local circle
and on the 2Gth Of last month an ex-
curslon was given which gave some
idea of the prominent Fairmonters
who belong to the order. Secretary
Williams and Lloyd E. Boggess Ca
former FaGrmonter who is prominent
In the order} were here for the trip.
1t is rumored that Secretary VIII
lEams virtually drove several members
of the board Of directors out Of the
order in his desire to make 1t one
man affair. 1t is certain that John J.
Davis, the president, R. E. Harrison,
the vice president, and Meyer Cohn.
the treasurer have resigned.
Last spring the board of directors
found a shortage OF $4,000 but Secre-
tary Williams insists that none Of this
sum was used by him personally as
has been minated. He claims that
the present trouble is due to his eff
forts In fighting that railroad anil that
they are "after him." This story is
not credited in Fairmont for it is urged
that the order has been only one small
factor in bringing about the present
two-cent rate although Mr.. Williams
seeks all the credit.
The local boys are slow in taking a
position in the fight as they are anxf-
Gus to get all the particulars before
they take Sides. Mr. Williams has
many personal friends here and Mr..
Boggess is extremely popular but the
Fairmont circle seems to be awaiting
developments before taking official &C
tion. The attitude of the Falrmont
circle will have much to do with the
settlement Of the troubles and 1t is
not unlikely In case OF a reorganiza
tfon of the order that Fairmonters will
be prominent in the councils Of the
order.
A number of the Plttsburg circle
residing here says that the life of the
order depends upon general recogni
ton of the local circles and urges that
the only criticism he has, to make oi
the conduct OF affairs is that Williams
has been given too much leeway.
