SfEClAL DlSPA1CH To The CALL
BOSTON. March 13.=There seems to
be little doubt in the minds of the po-
lice here that H Mortimer Wilson, who
is under arrest in San Francisco for
forgery. is none other than Henry NJ
Wilson, who for six months or so was
a stenographer in the employ of the
Ocean steamship company here
Wilson suddenly left Boston on jan
uary II and later it was found, it is
said, that he had stolen a check drawn
by +. M. Leonard & Co, Boston mar
ket firm. payable to the Ocean steam
ship company and had raised it.
This check Wilson passed sin Phila-
delphia. Soon afterward he disappeared
from Philadelphia. About the same
time man passed a check there forged
in the name of Governor Guild Bos-
ton doesn't want him badly enough to
send for him. as the check raised here
was small His employers believed he
was honest but his work stamps him
as a clever crook

had passed one and tossed three wild
ones TO the next man up, Captain
Mohler chased him and stuck Jones in
Oscar managed TO weather the storm
of this spasm and the sixth, but the
SoX put the crusher on him in the
seventh and eighth.
Jones got in bad during the seventh
by slapping Atz in the ribs and Don
ahue followed with a grasscutter into
center. Both advanced a peg when
Tannehill put down a pretty bHnt, and
both beat it home on the hit that Sui
livan tore through the inheld. Cap
tain Jones polished off the days work
for Chicago in the eighth by lifting a
fast shoot over the right field fence.
IT looked like coat of the old white
stuff for the Seals up to the ninth,

cred their lonesome one. With one in

class by their wonderful work in the

they skidded around the paths. The
inielders were always there to run
up on the bunts and, consequently, the
local base runners were invariably
caught when q batsman tried to pull
of a sacrifice hit.
Had the Seals been able to do any
thing at all with their clubs the game
would have been one full of heart
patters and nerve crushers. Not until
the sixth could the home brigade find
the leather safely, and then Hildebrand
got away with one that was very
scratchy. Zeider did the best work

tins of SwindIes

While T. Mortimer Wilson. court

erstwhiIe man of fashion, rests in a
cell al the city Jail for his attempt
Wednesday TO swindle the Croker
bank and the St. Francis hotel on a
spurious $1,000 check signed with the
name Of Governor Curtis Guild Of
Massachusetts. police chiefs of six cities
are striving TO gain custody of him
for trial on many counts OF forgery.
The mystery which enveloped the
identity of Wilson and his stylishly
dressed wife when they were arrested
Thursday on complaint of the manage
nent OF the ST. Francis, was complete
ly dispelled yesterday Developments
came fast and revealed that Wilson is
one Of the cleverest forgers ever
caught on the Pacific coast. From New
York 10 the Pacific he has left trail
OF worthless checks and paper that to-
tai thousands of dollars
II also has developed that his wife
was formerly married TO Baptist
preacher named Webb. now pastor of
a church ia Grand Rapids or Baltimore.
from whom she was divorced several
years ago. Her daughter, Z years old,
is living with Mrs. Wilson's mother in
Boston SO she admitted to Detective
Thomas Ryan yesterday.
She told the police that her maiden
name was Sargent. but declared that
she would never reveal the name Of
her mother Mrs. Wilson also has a
brother named Calvert Sargent, a fruit
grower in Sunnyside, Wash, Of whom
she has asked aid.
WOMAN sTILBI IN JAIL
Though no charge has been placed
against Mrs. Wilson. she is still held
in detinue at the prison. For time
yesterday she was hysterical, and
weeping bitterly. declared her own in
nocence and that of her husband.
Details OF Wilson's past life have
been brought TO light in kilograms
from the police Of Cedar Rapids, Den
yer. Philadelphia, Boston. Chicago and
New York. They lay bare an amazing g
career Of forgeries in which, always
using the name Of Governor Guild,
Wilson was enabled to raise thousands,
which he spent recklessly.
In Philadelphia, according to mes
sage received from Chief James I.
Donaghy. Wilson cashed check for
$500 at the st. James hotel, and others
OF smaller denomination.
Chief Grocer of Cedar Rapids wired
that he held a warrant for Wilson's
arrest for passing a forged check for
$500 on a bank there. In that town
Wilson gave out that he and his wife
were bound TO Japan for their health
and Governor Guild was his wifes rich

The real blue blooded aggregation OF
Chicago White Sox. the boys who car
ried the title Of worlds champions last
year. invaded the city yesterday aft
ernoon and crushed the home guard,
3 to l. The 1000 fans who gathered
at the Valencia street lot saw the class
as soon as the Sox trotted out on the
field They hoped that the Seals would
hang one on the big fellows, but away
down deep in their hearts they knew
there was no chance.
There is as much difference between
the White SoX and the Recruits as
there is between Jim Jeffries and Boer
Unholz. 1t was such a relief TO look
upon those blue suited and white
stockinged lads chasing that ball and
getting away with Il. If they have
any pride in them-and they sure must
have-they should not walk on the
same side Of the street with the men
who bear their names and disgrace
their regulations
SEALS PLAY SOME GOOD BALL
Though the Seals could not win. they
played some grand baseball. Through
out the nine innings OF strife every
local man felded his position in per-
feet style. Not an error marred the
work. and many a difficult play was
pulled of al critical moments Had
they been able 10 sap the ball at all,
the Seals would have given the Sox an
awful good time.
II was a revelation to see Billy Sui
iivsn working behind that bat. Old
Nick Altrock. well remembered as a
member Of the Los Angeles team of
1901, warmed up his southern soupbone
as Of yore. Jiggs Donahue. whom the
local fans have heard about. but never
saw IN action before. lived up TO his
reputation as a first baseman. Jakey
Atz. who used to play short for Port
land, loomed up strong at second.
IN the short field was Parent, the
former Boston American Lacquer whom
Comiskey lately secured. His work
was great, as was that of Tannehill,
the third baseman, who goes behind
the bag and picks 'em up as easily
as he does the bounders that come
right TO him. Fielder Jones, the cap
tain OF the team, chased around IN
center while in left our old friend,
Pat DOugherty, looked the same. Hahn
VAS on the job in the right corner
Henley started in toe pitch for San
Francisco. and though Hahn and
Dougherty raped him for safeties the
first times up, and he hit Parent, the
sox were prevented from scoring by
HIldebrsnd, who made a great throw
from left OF Ats long fly, doubling up
Hahn at the pan During the next
TWO rounds Henley had the sign on
the Sox and none OF them saw first.

The United States Senate has, in
the person of jeff Davis, senator
from Arkansas, strong rival of Ben
Tillman in the use of vehement and
vituperative language. In a recent
speech in which he took the judiciary
committee to task, he denounced the
trusts and..the pultocratic press in
words that fairly singed as they fell
from his lips. The following illus.
traues his style:
Go! Damnable imps of pelf and
greed, I defy your taunts! Tear to
fragments nv political career if it
COMFORT with your execrable will.
Stitie and distort my every utter
ance. Not satisfied If Such
Be Your Brutal Frenzy lash nv
poor form into insensibiilty.
Then, if it be your further pleasure,
gnaw from my stitfening bones every
vestige of duivering flesh. Howl in
wretched bestiality through my own
innocent blood as it drips from your
idendish visages. Drag then. if you
want. what remains into the filth
and the vermin of your foul dens and
burn it upon the altar of Baal or
scatter it before the friendly winds
of heaven to your betters-the

MAY DAY is PEACEFUL.
Few Disturbances Of Account in New
England States.

Boston, May May day in New
England, usually a day of industrial
disturbance, was this year one of the
most peaceful on record, due in part
to the dull condition of business and
the consequent over-supply in the
labor market. The only strikes of
magnitude in this section this spring,
those in the granite industry during
March and April, which involved near.
ly 10000 men, have been adjusted, the
strikers in several places resuming
work Friday. In the textile industry
of New England about 40 per cent. Of
the machinery is idle, which has the
effect of keeping about 100000 opera
tives idle or on short time. The
American Wooden Company, which
controls 80 plants in New England, is
operating about half of it's machinery,
an increase Of Is per cent. since Jan
uary. The independent mills are on
similar basis.
In the cotton goods and cotton yarn
mills about 40 per cent. OF the spindles
are stopped. The cotton cloth business
continues poor, cotton yarn is in little
demand, and the Indications point to
general curtailment during the sum.
