CLAIMS FOR LOST FREIGHT

Gordinier had been employed in the
claims Office about two years and came
strongly recommended from the Ore
gon railway and navigation company.
1t is alleged that his mode of pro-
cedure was to write out a spurious
claim from a merchant at dis
tant point for lost freight, get
Brewer, who had the most explicit
confidence in him, to 20 K' the claim.
then either cash it himself. or get
some one else to do so at the pay
masters Office. Brewer has large
staff of clerks and had to depend upon
their honesty, but suspicion was
aroused and Gordinier's movements
were watched by Pinkerton men, who
reported the discovery of crooked work.
In the complaints it is alleged that
Gordinier forged the name of w. j.
Horan, Hotel Grand Central. to a claim
for s49.69 on April T. With Smithson,
Gordinier is charged with forging the
name of ]. f. Lehman, 171S Devisadero
street, to claim for $15S.75 on July
10; with Chapler he is charged with
forging the name of o. A Rood, 2116
San Pablo avenue, Oakland, to a claim
for $15S.75, and with Rood he is
charged with forging the name of G. F.
Muenere, Bakersfield, to a claim for
s113.75 on July 81.
SPURIOUS CLAIMS ADMITTED
When questioned by the detectives
Gordinier admitted that he had OBJ
tanned $500 by means of spurious
claims, but the company estimates that
the amount will reach several thou
sand dollars, as 1t is believed that the
forgeries have been going on since last
April.
Smithson, Chapler and Rood deny
that they knew that there was any
thing crooked going on. They say
that Gordinier explained to. each of
them that, as the claims would not be
adjusted for some time, as rule he
had paid them out of his own pocket,
getting a discount from the claimant
which he would share with them.
Gordinier had asked for a vacation.
and as it was believed that he intended
to leave the city, four good Pfnkerton
men were detailed to watch him. He
refused to make a statement for pub
licat.on, but laughed at the statement
that the amount would reach thousands
of dollars. He said he believed 1T would
all come out right for him and the
others.

TAFT AND HUGHES.

Why should not Mr.. Roosevelt use
all honorable influence to bring about
the nomination Of Secretary Taft for
president. says the New York World.
The World can see nothing improp-
er In such a desire. On the contrary.
II is highly creditable to Mr.. Roose-
welt that he should wish as his sue
cessor so capable. talented and sensi-
BILE man as Taft. He could hardly
make a better or wiser choice.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 11.-Sentimen;
has improved in response to the
brighter outlook, commercial loans
being made with more freedom than
at any recent date. AS much project
ed business was only held back by
the inability to raise funds, the easier
money market encourages the expecta
tion that postponed contracts will now
be placed The PERCENTAGE of idle
machinery has preceptibly decreased.
Several contracts for structural
steel are under negotiations, but most
of the mills are idle pending an ac-
|cumulation of more business. Thus
far lower quotations for galvanized
sheets and tin plate have not stimu-
lated purchases. Numerous railways
are negotiating for delivery of rails
for 1908, and this business should be
placed very soon.
Although there is no general activ-
ity in the primary market for textiles,
is noticeable in many
departments, and few varieties are
somewhat lower. In no case is the
change more than PA to 5 cents a
yard. Stocks are held at low point
by restricting the production of mills
TO actual orders.
Wholesalers have commenced to ar
rive in the Boston footwear market.
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston have fallen of notably in re
| cent weeks. Leather is weak in tone,
buyers awaiting further reductions
nearer to parity with prices of hides.
