CHARLES MAUCH ARRESTED;
RAISED S2.45 CHECK TO S1245
Paper Passes Through the Hands of
Several business Men, and After
Finally Being Returned to Man Who
Drew 1t. Fraud Is Detected.

a warrant was sworn out for the
arrest Of Charles Maueh yesterday for
raising q check from s2.45 to s12.45.
The check was drawn by Contractor
Johnson, Of East Chicago. in favor of
Mauch. one Of his employees. and after
being raised was cashed at John 7.
Richardson's saloon at the corner Of
Holman and Hoffman streets. From
there 1t went to Brusel Bros grocery
store at 522 North Hahmon street and
from there to the German Citizens
National bank from where it was sent
to the clearing house IN Chicago. It
was later returned to an East Chica-
go bank and then TO Mr.. Johnson who
discovered the fraud.
The police We're notified at once and
an investigation followed which re-
seulted in the arrest of Mauch. OF
course the check passed through so
many hands that it may be difficult TO
fix the blame upon Mauch. but he has
been held under bonds.
The pen work OF Mauch was far
from being clever. he having used a
different kind of ink than was origin
ally used on the check, but 1t was dis
covered and If he is proven guilty, q
prison term looms up before him.
The check was drawn Dec. 8, and it
has taken all of the intervening time
for it to make the rounds and finally
be returned to the man who issued it.

CONGRESSMAN CRUMPACKER
SAYS RIVERS MUST COMPETE.
Makes a Lengthy speech in the House
and Thinks River and TIarbor APP
preparation BIn Coed Thing.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Representative
Crumpacker, of Indiana. believes the
people Of the country approve the $s4,
100000 river and harbor bill now under
consideration by the house. In a speech
indorsing the bill he said yesterday:
The large appropriation and authori-
zation carried by the pending bill are
justified by the growing Importance of
the transportation problem. Never in
the history Of this government has
transportation been SO vitality con
nected with production and prosperity
as it is at the present time Railroad
lines which are the chief reliance Of
the great producing interior. have in
sufficient facilities for the accommOda-
lions of the stupenduous volume of
production and the uncertainty Of
transportation and the high rates, re-
quired In many instances very seriously
embarrass enterprises.
Trans portation and the exchange of
commodities are as vital TO the prob
lem as the creation Of the commodities
themselves. An article is of no value
where it has no means of reaching the
consumer. There is cry throughout
the length and breadth Of the country
Of lack of railroad cars TO transport
the great volume of produce and man
ufacture. and any expenditure that
tends to increase the facilities for
transportation and to reduce freight
rates must give a great stimulus to
manufacture and all other lines of pre-
duction throughout the country.
The farmers are peculiarly inter
ested IN the Improvement Of harbors
and waterways. AS a rule the prices
of farm products depend on foreign
prices and the cost Of transportation
from the farm to the foreign market
| is vital question. During the last
thirty years facilities for transporta-
ton have so increased and freight rates
| have been so reduced that notwith-
standing there has been general de-
cline throughout the country in the
prices Of food products, yet the price
of products on the farms in the Missis-
| sippi valley has gradually increased.
The increase Of facilities for transp or-
tation and the reduction of the cost
of sending meats and grains from the
farm to the European markets have
more than Offset the general decline
in the worlds markets of the prices
of foodstuffs.
Under existing conditions almost
every unnecessary element of expenses
in the transportation of wheat from
the Dakota fields to the markets In
Liverpool has been eliminated, and the
farm price is closer the Liverpool price
today than it ever was in the history
of the government
| This condition illustrates the great
! Importance of still further improving
| facilities for transportation in the hope
of still further reducing the freight
rates from the farm to the worlds
market centers Our volume of pro-
duction has come to be so tremendous
that the present railroad facilities are
not sufficient. to accommodate il all
without great delay and embarrass-
| ment."

OMAHA SHIPPERS PROTEST
Charge that Railroads COnspired to
Raise Rates from Missouri River
to Atlantic Coast.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE petition
to the Interstate Commerce commission
containing the complaint of a large number
of shippers of Kansas City, st. Joseph and
Omaha against the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific and four other railroads In
the matter Of through rates from the At
lantic coast, was received at the commits
sion today. 1t is alleged that the rates
are unjust and unreasonable and that they
are the result of an unlawful combination
between the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy and the
Chicago & Northwestern roads in the
spring of 1906 TO maintain certain through
rates, and that these roads threatened
the other defendants. the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul and the Chicago Great
Western, and refused to treat them as
friendly connections or to route goods
over their lines and in all ways that they
could strove to inJure and destroy their
business; that the result was that the
Chicago Great Western and Chicago, Mil

ment to maintain the rates complained Of

LINCOLN, Feb. u.-(Special.)- 1.-The bulk
after a scrap more lively than the one that
assailed It in the committee OF the whole.
When the bill came up on third reading
Thomas, who introduced IT, asked that IL
be laid over one day. and McKesson imme-
diately moved TO recommit 1t to the COM
mittee of the whole for specific amend
ment He wanted to cut out the provision
requiring the terms OF any proposed sale
OF a stock of goods shall be made known
to the debtors of the seller.
The debate was long and exciting. AL
drich charged there was a deal on between
the retailers and the wholesalers whereby
the retailers were to help pass the bulk
sales law and the wholesalers In return
were to assist in passing bill cutting
down exemptions of debtors. This was de-
MED, and Thomas took the floor in a long
argument in defense OF the measure. Ash
ton Of Hall declared the only man who
asked him to oppose the bill was a man
who made business OF buying UP stocks
of goods at 25 cents on the dollar. Sackett
declared the bill was unfair, in that It
interfered with tho private business affairs
of the retailer. Patrick favored the bill on
the ground the giving to the wholesaler the
terms of proposed sale would insure
bona fide sale.
After the debate had waged for over half
an hour Thomas withdrew his request that
the bill go over and McKessou's motion TO
recommit was lost by a vote of 12 to Is.
The bill was then put on its passage and
passed, with the following vote:
