FALSE PRETENsES.
Charge Upon Which Charles n.
Houck Was Convicted

Charles III. Houck, who is alleged to have
obtained money by false pretenses in nu-
merous instances, was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court this morning charged with at
tempting to obtain $3.50 from Collins Mar
shall of the Post Office Department on the
pretense that he going into - buck
STEERING business and needed that amount
TO set him up in business. Judge Kimbali
imposed d fine of $50, with $50 days in Jail
in default
According TO the testimony of Mr.. Mar
SHALL Houck greeted him in the post office
yesterday as an old friend. After they had
conversed for a few moments Houck stated
that he had purchased a horse and wagon
and had a license to go into the huckster
business. He said that he needed $3.50 to
complete the payments on his wagon and
asked for that amount. Mr.. Marshall
started to his office to get the money when
he met William NJ Mooney, a fellow-em-
ploye. He remarked to him that he was
going after money and told what for.
why, that man Is an imposter,' COM
mented Mr.. Mooney. He obtained So from
how 1t was done. Houck was detained
Precinct Detective Mullen of the first pre-
cinct was called and he arrested Houck
The detective learned that several other
men had been the victims of this defendant
but as the incident happened some time
ago, no prosecutions were brought al this
time. Col w. A. Knapp told the police that
he gave Houck $40.
'i have sick wife at home and her con-
dltion has made me nearly crazy, pleaded
the defendant. For her sake, 90 not tear
me away from her bedside
You cannot save yourself from crime by
pleading you have a sick wife, was the
answer.

BAR COMMITTEES MEETS.
Denial That Association Had Voted
Upon Insurance Question.

A meeting OF the insurance committee Of
the American Bar Association. appointed
by President George R. Peck. was held
yesterday In the Raleigh Hotel. The legal
aspects OF various insurance problems were
considered
Rodney A. Mercur of Towanda, Pa, made
a statement In which he said the report
that the American Bar Association had
voted upon the insurance question is not
true. He said:
1.-THE facts are that the opponents of
federal supervision opposed any reference
of the question to any committee. and
asked the association, without sufficient
consideration, to vote upon the question
at the last meeting of the association. This
the association refused to do. referring the
whole subject to the standing committee
on insurance. BY vote of 119 to "A this
reference was made. Mr.. Whitelock being
In the minority"
Among those present at the meeting
were. Ralph w. Breckenridge of Omaha,
chairman; Rodney A. Mercur of Towar1da,
Pa, and w. r. Vance, dean Of the law
school of George Washington University.
