Be HONEST, SAYS
king OF FORGERS
VAN VLIssINGEN GIVES FEW
MAxIMs TO GUIDE YOUNG
MEN ENTERING BUSINESS.

Chicago. May. 6.--A few maxims as
a guide to young men entering busi-
ness were given here today by Peter
Van ylissingen, former real estate
operator whose gigantic forgeries
covering period OF twenty years were
unfolded last week Van Vlissingen
is serving sentence in Joliet prison,
but is in Chicago trying to straighten
out his books for his creditors.
This Is the advice which the "forger
king" would have young men follow
to avoid his own fate.
BE honest in small things; all
criminals begin by practicing small
dishonesties.
DO not permit your conscience to
become calloused. Once this occurs
the fall viii be certain.
lie eel nomical and never risk othc
peoplc'samoney, in a. venture no matter
how certain success may seem.
Once you commit a wrong make
restitution Immediately for delay
means ruin, maybe DEATH"
Van Vlissingen said sadly that once
he was known as Honest Pete" His
first forgery was for s2,5O0 A clerk
discovered this and absconded with all
the money. Then Van Vlissingen had
to forge again, and he kept at it until
a year ago when he was exposed.

CATHOLIC VICAR
CALLS SENATOR
LODGE A BIGOT
DENIES THAT NO FOREIGNERS
HELPED IN THE REVOLUTION
- WAR ON MACHINE MAY
FOLLOW.

Boston, May s.--Rt Rev. Msgr. Geo
j. Patterson, vicar general OF the
Roman Catholic diocese OF Boston, has
created a stir by denouncing u. s.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge as a bigot
and intimating that the knowledge OF
history possessed by the senior United
States senator from Massachusetts, is
imperfect, to say the least.
The statements of the vicar general
are the sole topic in political circles,
and it is freely stated that they win
result In war on the Lodge machine
1t all grew out OF statement, at
tributed to Senator Lodge, that there
were no foreigners in the American
ranks in the revolutionary war Msgr.
Patterson takes exception, and inti-
mates that Lodge has raised a re-
ligious issue from "intolerable mo-
| tives.'
In addressing the members OF the
Catholic society of Boston Sunday
night. Msgr. Patterson said:
What about the O'Briens the Kel-
| lys and the O'Sullivans? = I, am not
mistaken, it was an O'Brien that cap.
tured the first British ship.
''Mr. Lodge would ave you believe
that it was all Pilgrim Fathers and
all Protestant Americans that fought
in the revolutionary war. Mark this,
my hearers. there does not appear a
Lodge among them"

SEEK RETIREMENT
|. OF JUDGE BAXTER
MANY PROMINENT ATTORNEYS
OF THE NINTH JUDICIAL DIS
TRlcT HAVE STARTED A MOVE
MENT TO HAVE AGED JuRlsT
LEAVE DISTRICT BENCH.

A movement. which will be learned
with interest by people generally, and
not less by the attorneys practicing in
the Ninth district, has been inaugu-
rated to secure, if possible. the retire
ment of Judge ]. l.. Baxter from the
bench of the Fergus Falls district.
Judge Baxter is one of the most
prominent jurists In the state of Min
nesota. and by some is called the nes-
tor of the bench, but is fast becoming
incapacitated by reason of his advanc-
ed age, and, according to attorneys
practicing before his tribunal, some of
his vagaries. due to an enfeebled con-
dition, have caused them much worry
and expense. Judge Baxter Is 76 years
old and his physical condition, on more
than one occasion, has caused friends
to fear for his life.
Quite a. few candidates for the aged
jurist's shoes have made their appear
ance and, should he consent to retire,
the scramble will be on.
Those mentioned as desirous of sue
ceedinE Judge Baxter in the event of
his retirement include J. w. Mason,
Fergus Falls; George w. Peterson,
Long Prairie; c. A. Nye, Moorhead.
and w B. Parsons, Fergus Falls.
If Judge Baxter should resign, an
act Of his rather remote, in the opin-
ion of one or two prominent members
Of the Moorhead bar. Il would create
vacancy. as the judge was only
elected for another term last fall, and
the selection of a successor would fall
in the hands of Governor Johnson. Both
the latter and the venerable jurist are
of the same political faith and 1t is
reasonable to look for the elevation Of
a democratic attorney.

NOTORIOUS NEGRO GRAVE ROB.
Der is PARoLEp FROM IN
DIANA PENITENTiARY.

indianapolis, May 6-Rufus Cantrell
the negro grave robber, known as
King of the Ghouls. whose depreda-
tions startled the entire country several
years ago, has been paroled by the
board OF trustees and Warden Reid of
the Indiana state prison, where he was
sentenced for term of from two to
fourteen years,
A member Of the board said that
Cantrell has been model prisoner, and
that the authorities feared, If he were
kept longer in the prison, his mind
would be permanently affected.
The conditions of Cantrell's parole
are that he does not return to Indian
apolis, but that he obtain permanent
employment In some suitable part s.of
the state. s
He offered to tell the board, under
whose direction he did the work and
who paid him the money for bodies he
stole and delivered, but the board did
not seek this information.
When Cantrell was convicted he SOL
emnly swore that he would "get the
bones" of every witness that testiffed
against him. s.

Lands.

''Glad to get back to the good old
United States" was the tenor of the
reply to the many greetings which
Samuel Fl. Kantor, the jeweler, received
today after his return to Moorhead
last night from trip to Europe.
Mr.. Kantor left on the afternoon OF
Jan. 81 and returned in the early eve-
ming of May 5. He arrived in the port
of New York last Friday morning on
the good ship Mauretania. The latter
left Queenstown Sunday morning,

Sandy Hook lighthouse at ] o'clock
last Friday morning. The vessel was
docked at o'clock. She consumed
just III hours In the journey, from

pecially in public utilities. He thinks
ii as far behind New York as one can
imagine. He visited Berlin, Germany,
