Policeman Willemse, who arrested Mrs.
Bolch, wanted to make a charge against
her OF grand larceny on the ground that
she had swindled half a dozen of the big
department stores out of considerable sums.
No one representing these stores was in
court. however, and the clerk said he would
have to make the charge petit larceny.
T~hereupon Willemse said that the de
PENDANT had admitted to. him that she
forged the name signed to the check in
question, and a charge of forgery was
accordingly made out. The name signed
to the check was that Of William l.. Jones,
a Brooklyn lawyer. The police had not
been able TO zee him before the arraign-
ment. Willemse said that Mrs. Bolch
told him that Jones had had charge of the
settling of her mothers estate and that
was how she came TO know of him.
Policeman Willemse said that Mr.. Bolch
was the second husband Of the defendant.
He spoke highly Of Bolch. who is che chief
engineer Of the steamship Colon OF the
lamar Line The defendants first hus-
band. according TO Willemse, was a man
named Berger, from whom she secured
a divorce on the ground of bigamy.
The defendant was held in 5000 for ex-
animation on Tuesday, at which time,
the police say, thew will have a number
of compliments in court to testify against
Mrs. Bolch.

declared that the girl was her daughter
| by her first marriage and that SenatorDepew
was her guardian. Senator Depew was i'll
at the time and absent from Washington,
the check and declared that he knew nothing
of the woman or her daughter.
Because Senator Depew did not appear
against the girl, who subsequently admitted
that the check was fraudulent and that she
had passed il at the instance of her mother,
the charge was dropped and the girl was sent
to the House of the Good Shepherd for a
short time. Later both mother and daugh-
ter were turned over TO the NewYork author

BOVERY RELIGION UPTOWN.
DIR. DONALD SAGE MACKAY PLANS
"EXPEREENCE' MEETINGS.

Tells Ills Fifth Avenue Congregation That
They Need "a Hear From the Mission
Converts Who Believe in the Reality
OF sin-First Meeting ON sunday.
The Rev. DR.. Donald Sage Macksy Of the
Collegiate Church Of st. Nicholas. at Forty
eighth street and Fifth avenue, talked Last
night on Reality Versus Unhealthy in Re-
ligion," referring frequently to his ex-
periences in the missions for the redemption
Of the underworld Of the Bowery.
The object of his sermon was 20 prepare
his congregation for a series Of experience
meetings which will begin next Sunday
when several converts from the old Jerry
McAuley Mission in Water street will
testify"
DIR. Mackay said that his incursions into
the downtown missions had reinforced his
faith. He said that he had never attended
a Bowery meeting without returning thank
Ing God for a new baptism, and that il his
ministry had been in any way a blessing
to his congregation il had been due to the
inspiration of the missions. He believed
that the Church could be swung into line
with the great realities of life only through
it's contact with the converts of the kline
turned out by the missions, which believe
in the reality OF sin.
The churches were suffering from stifled
experience. They should get into an at
mosphere Of reality characteristic Of the
Bowery missions. Since he had announced
his intention Of inviting converts to come TO
the Collegiate Church and give talks to the
congregation. the doctor said, he had re-
ceived letters from converts reinforcing
his attitude on the subject.
One letter was from a brilliant physician
ruined by drink and drugs who had been
three times in an asylum and twice in the
poor house, but who, through conversion
in a downtown mission, was now prosperous
and respected.
Another letter was from a converted Jew
knocked out by drink, who now -owned
two stores and had twenty people working
for him." Another was from a young
Scotchman, a university graduate" who
had been saved by rescue workers from
drunkenness and was now an elder in an
uptown church, but never failed to &C
once a week to the downtown mission
and assist in the redemption of the I'M
fortunate and weak.
DR.. Mackay aid finally: IF the church
is to live she must get into touch with the
realities"
