ARRESTS MAY CLEAR UP
HUGE CHECK SWINDLE
Two Men Said to Have worked"
Hotels and Banks to Extent
of $500, 900.

NEW YORK. October 10.-But for a
young woman's determination to satisfy
herself as to the honesty Of two Of her
guests. John E. Kearney and Walter r..
Mcdonald probably would not be in pris-
on today, held in default Of $4,000 bail
on charge of forgery. The police say
that the arrests are the most important
captures of their kind made for some
time. and that they may clear up a
check swindle which has been worked
throughout the country.
Piles Of blank checks, complete new
rubber stamping outfit, a large revolver,
more than 100 cartridges, a notebook
giving a list of banks and bankers, and
also a memorandum showing that s1.4OO
in checks had been passed within the
last eighteen days, and that the proceeds
had been divided between the two men
equally. were seized by the police.
The police assert that hotel men and
small banks throughout the country have
been swindled out of more than 500, OOo
in the last year through worthless checks.
In the present case the American Bank
erS Association Is much interested.
The specific complaint against the two
prisoners is that they passed a forged
check for S73.S5 on the Washington
Heights Bank two days ago. The COM
plainants are Mr.. and Mrs Edgar Web
at 155th street and Amsterdam avenue.
Mr.. Webster received a letter October
. from Mcdonald stating that he and
kearney would arrive at the hotel and
remain for five weeks. The letter was
dated at Cardeville, Henderson county,
KY. The men arrived Thursday, with
considerable baggage. and seemed to be
well supplied with money.
The men hired automobiles and taxicabs
freely, and were the talk of the hotel.
All went we'll until Kearney approached
Henry Webster, father of the proprietor.
and asked him if he wished to INCEST
some money in new coal company
formed to fight the coal trust. Mr.. Web
Ster became suspicious.
When Mrs. Webster presented her bill
last Saturday she was paid promptly.
Then, according to her story. she was
asked to indorse a check made payable
to Mcdonald for Sass. and purporting to
be signed by G. 8. Ringing, the famous
circus man, and 1t also bore the certifi-
cation of the Kanawah Banking and
Trust Company. Mrs. Webster Endorsed
the check and the money was paid to
Kearney. At that time she knew moth
ing of kearney's coal scheme.
Mrs. Webster says Mcdonald divided
the money with his roommate. Later
she became suspicious and telegraphed
to the kanawha Bank, in Charleston,
W. Va, which replied that Mcdonald
had no account there. Detectives were
put on the case and the men were ar
rested.

day. His lame left foot kept the Presi-
dent off the golf links again this morn

The visit OF Senator Root, who was
met in Boston by Secretary Norton, has
caused much speculation here. First of
all 1t was said that his advice might be
sought by the President as to the pro-

as a possibility for one of the vacant
places on the bench.

RooseveIt's OisavoWaI Has
the Politicians Guessing.
PAT ON ATLANTA SPEECH
Nothing to Add to That Utterance,
Colonel Declares.
Is WELCOMED IN ARKANSAS
Great Crowd Gathers at Hot Springs
to Greet the Former President.
Headed for Missouri.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, October 10. -
Former President Theodore Roosevelt ar
rived here today at $50 o'clock to pay
visit 10 the Arkansas state fair and de-
liver an address in the afternoon. He
was accompanied by Gov. Donaghey and
United States Senator Clarke, who met
him at Memphis.
So far efforts have been futile to get
Col. Roosevelt to amplify his Atlanta
speech, in which he said that the tariff
plank in the New York state platform
does not represent his own personal
views. and that he would have written 1t
differently had lie possessed the power.
Has Nothing to Add.
II have nothing to add to what I said
at Atlanta Col. Roosevelt said, except
that in my speeches at Saratoga and
Syracuse / said about the tariff and the
administration exactly what l said in
Sioux City. Iowa; Sioux Falls, s. D.; Gin
cinnati, and elsewhere.
1t is recalled that in the Saratoga con-
yention Col Roosevelt voted for the tariff
plank along with everything else written
into the plat form by the committee OH
resolutions, which he controlled-in fact.
named-by virtue of a new rule which
was forced through.
in the interest of Senator Beveridges
campaign for reelection. The repub-
licans of Indiana. like those in 'Wiscon-
sin Iowa and Kansas, whose senators.
like Beverdge, refused to vote for the
Payne ldrich bill, have gone on record
against features of that measure. The
New York republicans at their conven-
tion in Saratoga two weeks ago gave
it their unqualified Endorsement.
Has the Politicians Guessing.
Politicians have been specializing as
20 how he is going to reconcile his sup
port of Beveridge with the New York
tariff plank. They now are wondering
il his disavowal at Atlanta will prove
adequate.
Great throngs of people welcomed
Col Roosevelt upon his arrival here.
He was escorted to a hotel. where he
held Il public reception. He met many
of his former Rough Rider comrades.
who greeted him enthusiastically.
vt the conclusion of the reception a pa
rade was formed to go to the falr
grounds, mile and a half distant All
along the line of parade Col. Roosevelt
was greeted with cheers.
Great Crowd Greets Him.
When Col. Roosevelt reached the fair
grounds he was welcomed by one OF the
largest crowds he has seen since he
left New York. There were 1900 school
children, who formed living flag and
sang patriotic songs to symbolic the
peaceful relations between the north and
south.
Four doves were released by two girls.
one dressed in blue and the other In gray,
and flowers were presented by young
women to a company of Union veterans
and a company of Confederate veterans.
An automobile ride around the city will
conclude the program for the day. and
at $50 o'clock the colonel will depart
for St. Louis.

powers of the world, and at a meeting in
Rome in 1905 fifty-twO nations were rep
resented and convention was drawn up

Agriculture. King Victor Emanuel was
much interested in the work, and eventu-
ally gave n building costing several
hundred thousand dollars.
