RAD NO MONEY IN BANK WHEN
HE SENT CHECK FOR WHISKY.
-End Randolph County Man i Pros
ccuted in United States Court
by Chicago Booze Firm.


The News. in its last issue, noted
the arrest of Mr.. A l.. Martin Of
Randolph on a charge Of using the
mail to defraud lie was taken to
Columbus and placed under bond by
he United States court after a pre-
liminary hearing.
In its account of the case the Co
Iumbus Enquirer-Sun gives the fol-
lowing facts:
Mr.. A. L. Martin, citizen of
Coleman Randolph county, was
brought to Columbus by Deputy Mar
shall Blue and faced United States
Commissioner Brown as defendant in
q rather unusual case.
THE charge was old and prosaic
enough-using the United States
mail with intent to defraud-but the
circumstances were novel
Recently Mr. Martin ordered
$500 worth Of whiskey from a Chi
sago liquor house, and sent his check
for the amount in payment. 1t was
one of those you-pay-fOr-three-q quarts
and-we-giy e-you-thefOurth PROPOSE
tons with which the reading public
is familiar
The Chicago house in question is
not a novice in the respect of receiv-
ing checks, and before shipping the
three quarts and the extra one for
good measure wrote to the bank
down in Randolph county, asking
that the check be certified to. The
bank returned the check, endorsing it
with the time-honored phrase mo
funds" The Chicago people not
only failed to send the liquor, but
narrated the circumstances into the
attentive ear of Uncle Sam. The re-
suit was the issuance of a warrant
against Mr. Martin ON the charge
above stated
MI Martin admitted sending the
check, but said that he did so because
he sent the order on a day when the
express Office and the postohice were
not open, and he used the check for
convenience. He has had an account
at the bank on which he drew the
check but the last deposit he made
there was in June, and he had sub
sequently checked all his money out.
] was his intention, when he gave
the check. to place the 1920 there
with which to meet it, he declared
He said that when he ordered the
whiskey he was thinking of going on
fishing trip, but afterwards some
doubt arose as to the date on which
he could get off and he wrote to the
Chicago house. Cancelling the order
and asking that the check be returned
to him
The one essential necessary to
conviction in a federal case of this
kind is the intent OF the accused to
use the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. The defendant in this case
claimed that no such intent existed
on his part.
While rather doubtful as to the
outcome of the matter Judge Brown
thought that it would be better fol
the federal grand jury to pass upon
the case, and accordingly assessed the
defendant a $500 bond.

How an Estate OF $6,OOO,OOO Was
Frittered Away in Litigation.

How an Estate OF $6,OOO,OOO was
Frittered Away in Litigation.
The recent death in New York city
of Edward Schenck, attorney, recalls
the manner in which a splendid es-
tate, designed for the public benefit
was frittered away in litigation.
In 1916 Samuel, David, Abram and
Ebenezer Wood went into the rum
importing business. The brothers
made a compact never to marry and
each made a will whereby his prop
erty went to the surviving brother or
brothers. They prOspered. In 1864
David Wood died, leaving an estate
of 100000. In 1868 Abram passed
away, leaving a fortune of 100000.
In the following year Ebenezer died
and Samuel came into the accumu-
lated fortunes.
The surviving brother continued to
prosper. Being of simple tastes his
yearly expenditures never exceeded
$500 a year and when he entertained
his friends he did the cooking. Hay-
ing no family he became possessed
of a desire to so leave his great for
tune that it would prove a benefit to
humanity and serve to perpetuate his
name.
He projected the Samuel Wood
Hospital and Medical Institution and
named a number of distinguished
men as trustees, among whom Ed
ward Schenck, mentioned above, was
the sole survivor.
When Samuel Wood died in 1875
his estate was estimated to be worth
Sc. 900 600. The legislature char
tered the institution, but while the
preliminaries were in progress came
the news that his nephew and only
relative Abram Hewlett, intended to
contest the will.
Litigation was carried. on year at
ter year for a quarter of century.
Then the receiver who had been APP
pointed to care for the estate an
nOunced that every dollar of the So
100000 was gone-diyided up among
the lawyers and exhausted in court
| expenses. Hewlett never received a
cent and Woods hope to leave a
monument to his name failed Of frui-
! ton.

it creates the lonely drinter Of highly

says it also destroys industries,

How the Creek Indians Euchered
Him Out Of $7,OOO,OOO.

The Creek Indians of Oklahoma
have euchered congress to the tune
of $70OO,OO0 in their treaty agree
ments, and the first knowledge con-
gress will have of it will be this win
ter. when the Indians and the rep
resentatives of the Department of In
terror viii demand that congress set
tie up. And the Creeks are laughing
up their sleeves at the clever trap
into which congress walked.
The first Creek agreement prOvid-
ed that each Creek should receive
100 acres of land, the maximum APP
praised value of which should be
5000. Those who got land ap-
praised for less than the maximum
were to have the difference in land
or in money. Then the Creeks
slipped through congress an limo
cent-Iooking measure that provided
that newborn children should be ad-
mitted to the rolls.
Congress had not figured, but the
Creeks had The result was that the
newborn children took up all the
surplus land for allotments. The al
lotting is completed and the Indians
now are ready for a final settlement
and it will be recommended to con-
gress this winter by the commission
ers of the five tribes and the secre-
tary of interior.
Will Get $1,000, 900.
The Creeks have only $4,000
assets as a tribe. This leaves them
net $7,000,O00, which congress
will have to pay. 1t is just $1,000
900 additional wealth the Creeks
have procured by outwitting congress.
There are nearly 10000 Creeks.
This $7,000,000 will mean $3.50 to
every man, woman and child.

How About the Depositors?

The United States government re-
quires the deposit of specific security
when it entrusts money to a national
bank, although it can examine the
bank at any time; the state requires
security when it deposits money in a
bank; the county requires security and
the city requires security from the
officials who handle money. Why
should the depositor be left to take his
chances?
Not only is the deposition without
protection, but the security given to
nation, state, county and city lessons
his security. They are preferred cred
itors; they have mortgage on the
gilt edged assets and the deposition
must get along as best he can with
what remains. Why are the interests
of depositors thus neglected?

The Review believes in fairness; it
does not believe in subterfuge or MS
representation. It is perfectly willing
TO accord to McCleary all the credit
that is due him for the part he played
in securing for New Ulm the original
appropriation for the proposed federal
building, but it is by no means willing
that he should have the credit for
the additional appropriation, when
that credit justly belongs to his
successor, Winfield Scott Hammond.
Mr.. McCleary had no more to do with
that additional appropriation than a
rabbit, and for him or his friends to
claim SO is nothing short of the limit
in political jugglery.

1t is regrettable fact that in ma
tional politics .Minnesots has never
assumed in either party conspicu-
ously high place. Johnson has
brought more lasting fame into Mime
sofa during his four years service as
governor than any man who ever, oc-
cupied the gubernatori chair. His
reelection will enhance the value of
this service.
Another reason why The Daily
News is supporting GOV. johnson is
found in my firm conviction that Mr..
jacobson is not sufficiently equipped
for the high Office to which he aspires.
While Mr. Jacobson in the legislature
has championed and carried through
by force of his strong personality
some measures which have been of
lasting benefit to the state, at the
same time he has not evidenced
that breadth of sympathy for the vel
fare of all the people of the state
which should be the first consideration
in a governor.
I'm his anxiety to stand as watch
dog OF the treasury he has opposed ex-
penditures for the University and Nor
NAL schools, for the preservation OF
the forests of the state, for the drain
age OF lands now waste, which should
be state resources, with persistence
which has shown him to be blind to
far-seeing conceptions of the needs of
the people. He has failed in marked
degree to recognize the efforts of the
people of this state to raise the Univer-
sity of Minnesota to the position
which it holds in the educational
institutions of the country, and he has
tenaciously fought the Normal schools
of the state, with all the advantages
that they offer to the young people of
the outlying districts.
Ellis position on bills for lettering
conditions of laboring men has also
shown lack of sympathy with a
large and unprotected portion of the
population of the state.

A Critic Answered.

In communication to the st. Paul
Daily News a reader of that paper
undertakes to criticise the editor for
his support of Gov. Johnson and
challenges him or any living man to
show single valid reason, IN view of
Johnson's own statements, for any in
dependent or any republican contribu-
ting in any way to his election.
Answering the criticism the editor of
the News says:
81 note the grounds upon which you
criticise this paper for its support of
the governor for third term. I note
further your statement that the only
excuse for his candidacy is admitted
ly to pull chestnuts out of the fire for
thee dm0cratic party
Gin this conclusion I must certainly
differ with you.
'sNor can I agree that there is any
question of principle involved in the
selection of the governor for third
term. This state has had one COVER
nor, in the person of John S. Pillsbu-
ry, who served a third term, and this
was not regarded as a public calami-
tty. In the neighboring states Gov.
Cummings and Gov. LaFollete have
served third terms and the question
has never been seriously raised against
them.
''The governor was personally OPP
posed to his nomination, and that he
ultimately accepted thunder such pres
sure that he did is in no sense, it
seems to me, an impeachment of his
personal sincerity or his sense Of OBJ
legation to public duty.
81 feel that the governor is at the
parting of the ways in his public ca
reer. If he is defeated for reelection
in this campaign itcannot be seriously
disputed that his future is in serious
jeopardy. If he is elected, no matter
who is elected president in this cam
paign, johnson will loom large on the
political horizon in 1912.
