JAILS BOGUS OFFICER

titiOus Capt. Clover.
NAME USED TO WORK GRAFT
Gets Valuable Information from Aua
tomobiIe Men ON HIsh Power En-
gine-ReaI Capt. Clever Loses Moth
ing by Operations Save Peace of
Mind and Postage stamps.

Capt Richardson Clover, of the navy,
who is on duty here as member Of the
board Of inspection and survey, is feeling
better. He has received word that a man
who has been using Capt Cloyers name
in the most familiar manner has been
captured at San Francisco. The capture
was made by Secret Service Agent Harry
MONT Chief Wilkie, of the Secret
Service. thinks he has a good case against
the bogus Capt. Clover, although the real
Capt Clover admits that he is not
a penny out by the tranactlons Of the
other man, except for postage. The oper-
atoms Of the bogus Clover made a con-
siderable increase IN the naval officers
correspondence.
It was just about eighteen months ago
that Capt Glover heard of the bogus
Clover lie received g Iii for a revolver
from a firm IN Salt lake City. Capt
Clover wrote 10 the h,m that be hadn't
bought any revolver. and wanted to know
the why and wherefore Of the bin. The
answer was that a man representing him
SELF as Capt. II, X. Glover, Il. 5. n"
had personally ordered the revolver and
had given directions that it be sent to the
st. Charles Hotel in New Orleans.
Orders s25O,OOO Worth OF Autos.
Capt. Clover didn't bother about the
matter. but a little later he began 20 get
letters which made him take notice.
These showed that the bogus Clover was
operating on a large scale. He went 10
the works Of the Matheson Company,
manufacturers Of automobiles, az Wilkes
barre, Pa, and won the confidence OF the
eompany's officials by a plausible story.
He said that he had retired from the
navy, and was engaged In the automobile
business. He wanted 10 place an order
with the Matheson Company, and would
like 10 inspect its plant. Permission was
given, and the bogus Clover went all
over the cOmpanys works, showing q
familiarity with mechanics and engineer
ing that impressed the c0mpany's officers
The upshOt Of his visit was that he placed
an order for $3.50 900 worth OF automobiles
Then he disappeared. The order was
suspended before the company had done
any work on the machines.
Real Clever Worries and Wearies.
When Capt. Richardson Clover heard al
this he put the matter into the hands OF
the New York police. Occasionally he
got word that II. X. Glover" was con
tinuing operations, always under ths
name of Capt Clover, L. S. n" Some
times he wore a naval uniform. He was
a man Of fine appearance, and seemed Il
have plenty Of money and showed that d,
knew all about machinery.
Recently Capt Richardson Clover laid
his troubles before the Secretary OF the
Navy. and the latter advised that IN,
case be placed Ia the hands OF the United
States Secret Service. This was done anC

MONUMENT TO ROCKEFELLER.
E. G. Lee Expresses Admiration For
Richest Man.

DENTON, Texas, Sept. 2s.--A monu'
ment OF Pohn ID. Rockefeller is being
erected by Z. G. Lee, two miles south
of this town, where two much Travelled
roads cross. OF course, it is unusual
to put up a monument to man before
he has been gathered to his forefathers.
Il know that the monument should
be postmortem," said Mr.. Lee, a man Of
great intelligence. II know you cannot
write epitaphs in the present tense.
But Andy Carnegie and Teddy Roose-
welt have set the example, only Andy
is working up, building libraries. and
Teddy is working down. digging pits.
II consider John D. Rockefeller the
greatest man in the world,' Mr.. Lee
continued with emphasis. Il am trying
to induce him to come here and live
where he won't be hunted and perse.

he would be elected. You see, the ped.
estal is nearly completed. 1t symbol

II have ordered the statue itself from
a bronze casting firm in New York City.
No. / will not tell you which firm, be-
cause, like Mr. Rockefeller, shun pub
licity / am spending $4,000 on the
statue and pedestal. | expect Mr..
Rockefeller and his kin To be here for
the unveiling which may be next No
vember, and if not then, in the early
spring.
"He has assured me that nothing ex-
cept busines can keep him away So
/ am very hopeful that he will be here,
for he testified the other day, you will
remember, that he had not been at
tending to business for some years.
Anyhow. whether he il here or not the
monument will be unveiled.
Despite the difficulty Of wording cpl
taphs in past or present, Mr. Lee has
quite large collection from which he
expects to make selection.
In letters Of bronze there may be on
one face Of the pedestal:
HE never cared for money for mon.
ey's sake"
On another face the following:

Cleanliness at ANY Price.

Richmond is one of the most beautiful
cities in the United States and one OF
the most untidy.
We have fine buildings, well-payeu
streets, parks and monuments.
We have expended millions In making q
fine city, vet we are unwilling to spend
few thousand dollars to keep It free
from filth and flying, filthy dust.
1t is an absurd policy. 1t is unworthy
of us. 1t is disgraceful. II is degrading.
It causes visitors to hold us in contempt.
Imagine. If you can, a citizen who spends
million dollars on residence; hum
dred thousand in furnishings and orna-
1nentauon; fifty thousand in identifying
his grounds, and then lets the house go
inch-deep in dust and the grounds grow
up in weeds, because he is too parsimo-
NOUS to employ housemaids and gal
dcners to keep his dwelling and premises
In condition. Imagine such policy, and
you have Richmond's policy.
We must reform. The city must be
made clean and kept clean, no matter
what it costs. Our own self-respect, as
well as our health and comfort, demand
