HOUSE MEMBERS WARNED.
Representative Put on Their Guard
Against a CRATER.

So many members of the House have
been "stung" during the past two or
three years by d genial CRATER who
claims residence in pretty nearly all of
the state and territories. that Sergeant
alarms Casson this morning got out a
circular letter warning all easy marks to
use safety pins on their trouser pockets
and bank rolls. The letter, which is
rather unusual, in that it isn't often
necessary for the sergeant-at-arms TO
send out a general warning of this kind,
says:
Representatives in Congress are eau
toned AGAINST cashing checks or giving
Dawson, alias James p. Gleason, who
during the past three years has secured
money from different members of the
House of Representatives on various rep
reservations.
In some localities he represents him
self as an employe of the House of Rep

alarms, and in others as relative OF
Well-known members.
The man is Il SWindler, and it is
hoped that any member to whom he may
apply will turn him over to the police.
Mr.. Casson said this morning that
Tracy, or whatever his name may be,
had victimized any number Of members
of the House, and had pretty nearly
cleaned up the Illinois delegation. Last
wear Tracy struck former Representative
Beidler of Ohio for the second time, and
Mr. Beidler. remembering his previous
story, had him sent up for ninety days.
