months. He handled large sums of
money and negotiable paper monthly
and the temptation was too great
Eighteen or 20 months ago he began
filling out and indorsing with the
name of his employer checks for
small amounts and he gradually in
creased them as the forgeries re-
mained undiscovered.
The fact of him being paymaster
reduced the chances of discovery but
the forgeries came to light when he
went away on a short vacation. An
other paymaster was installed who
unearthed them, but Evans, appa-
rently fearing he had been discovered
did not return. Instead he came to
Salt Lake. This was three weeks
ago and two or three days ago the
Butte sheriff got track of him here
and sent Deputy Sheriff Henderson
down to look for him. Sheriff c..
F. Emery detailed Deputy Steele on
the case with him. They learned
that Evans had been roomnig at a
cheap lodging house at 472 West
Second South street, but when they
went to his room they found 1t va
cant.
Evans had left an hour or so be-
fore. He had taken most of his be-
longings with him, but fearing that
his landlord would discover his flight,
had carried them out underneath
his clothes and allowed his grip and
trunk to remain in the room. stuffing
them with loose paper to help carry
out the ruse.
Evans is about 35 years old and
has wife and children in the east.
He has spent several years at Butte
and is widely known there. Most of
the money he secured fraudulently
he spent upon women.

Upon their arrival they enlisted the

F0RGER GETS
AWAY
Potter Let Slip at
CurrieS=zJtOLe q
Coat and
Hiked

That Frank Potter. the young man
who several days ago passed num-
ber of forged checks at various places
! in Ely and Ely City, is an elusive ar
ticle is being strongly impressed upon
the peace officers of the county.
Since discovery of Potter's forger-
les Friday morning the officers have
been engaged in merry and most
diligent chase for his capture. Sun
day 1t was thought their efforts would
be rewarded with success when tel
egram was received from Currie sta
ton giving information that the fell
low was there and requesting that an
officer be sent for him.
Upon receipt of the telegram Sun
day afternoon Deputy Sheriff Full
mer boarded a light hand car pro-
vided by the railroad and kept the
rails warm along the 700odd miles OF
track until he arrived at Curries just
before dawn yesterday. The trip
was a strenuous one but in vain. as
| the officer learned that Potter was
/ also a night traveller and had left
| the station before midnight and was
1 taking a long hike to safer quarters.
Thorough search of the small
camps in and about Currie was made
by Fulmer yesterday without finding
any trace of young Potter and the
officer returned on last evenings
train empty handed. Before leaving
Currie, however. Fulmer put Consta-
I BILE Mike Harrington on the trail OF
the culprit and sharp lookout will
be kept all along the different routes
where the forger is likely to show
up.
1t is not thought that Potter can
much longer escape the vigilance Of
the officers, as he was much road
worn when seen at Currie station.
His shoes were about in shreds.
From the station to the S. P. line Is
distance of nearly 20 miles AMI in
his fatigued condition Potter is not
apt to reach his objective point be-
fore the officers have him in hand.
| Before leaving Currie Potter stole
duck coat from one of the employees
about the station. presumably for the
purpose of Disgusting himself. That
he was not held at Currie has been
the subject of much sharp criticism.

JEWISH CRIMINALITY.
Simon W0lf asked to Substantiate
His Statements.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Dear Sir: In your Issue of July 81 you make
mention of a statement OF Simon Wolf. IN which
he states that the newly arrived Jew is ignorant
of the higher traits of civilization and that he does
not at once respond to his environments Moreover
this statement is made IN connection with Mr
VOLTS discussion of criIninalty among the Jews OF
this country, and 1t tends to establish that what
ever Jewish criminals are among them are found
exclusively among the arrivals.
It is indeed greatly surprising that such state
ment should be made by OF such calibre as
Mr.. Wolf. Could he with any degree Of certainty,
based upon substantial facts say, does he hon
estly think, that the Jew is not loyal TO law and
order. in those countries which Mr. Wolf re-
fers TO? Would Mr. Wolf want to be understood as
saying that the Jew is not up to the standard of
civilization in business, IN the home, and social life
morally. mentally and physically. in any country
OF the globe; that the Jew matter from whence
he comes, is in any respect above mentioned in
ferior to the American born Jew?
Gould Mr.. Wolf substantiate with facts his asser-
ton that criminalty is more prevalent among Jews
in other countries than IN the United States?

Sir: Governor Hughes Is the calibre Of man
who is needed In public Office to-day. The measures
for which he has stood have all been In the public
interest and tend toward the establishment of g.
higher standard OF citizenship public service.
Opposition to his continuance In Office proceed
in the main from persons who desire lower stand
ard IN the performance OF official duty It Is to
the Governors credit that he has made such his
enemies. But I venture to say that the people at
large want Governor Hughes for another term.
He is needed at Albany to complete the good work
commenced or planned. II righteousness exalteth
a nation so II does state. and the Empire State
stands higher among the family OF states through

honor itself and the state by retaining Governor
Hughes it's standard bearer for the fight this
