FRAUD LOSSFALLS
ON GOVERNMENT
Can't Recover on Pension Money
Which Bank Paid in Good
Faith.

After concluding all arguments
which will be heard at this term of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
yesterday, Judge Rose handed down an
opinion affirming the decision of the
Circuit Court of Greensboro n. c.,
wherein 1t was held that the govern
ment could not recover money from the
Bank of North Wilkesbor, paid on
forged pension checks.
This case was argued here one week
ago, and 1t was proved conclusively
that Mary Marley had represented her
self to the Pension Department as
Mary NJ, Webster. and entitled to en-
listment upon the rolls. She was paid
money aggregating more than 500,
and signed each of the checks with the
name of Mary NJ. Webster, alleged to
be an entirely Fictitious person.
The case of the Hamburg American
against Henry Baker, appolee appeal
from the District Court at Baltimore,
was argued yesterday, and was the
last which will be called at this term.
Cause was argued by Frederick NJ.
Brown and a. Leonard Brougham, Of
New York, for the appellant, and by
George NJ Mister, of Baltimore, for the
appellee, and submitted.
Court will adjourn for the holidays
some time this week, and in the mean
time the judges present will hold con-
ference on cases heretofore argued.
Judge Henry c. Mcdowell left yester-
day for his home in Lynchburg, while
Judge James L. Boyd of Greensboro,
arrived here Sunday, and will be in at
tendance for the remaining days of the
session

Technical Charges Against Broad
Rock Distilling Company
Led to Raid.

What is said to be the first of a
series to be conducted not only In this
district. but throughout the country,
by the United States internal revenue
department was the seizure yesterday
noon of the plant of Broad Rock Dis

Chesterfield county. by Division Dep
uty Louis Youngblood. of Petersburg,
He was accompanied by Colonel w. II.
Chapman revenue agent here, and
Chief Deputy Thomas r. Meaney of
Collector NJ. X Lowry's office.
The charges against the distillery,
which is not far from the limits of
South Richmond, are technical, and
said to embrace many points in the
regulations of the revenue depart
ment which have been violated, it is
alleged, not only by the dist:Hery
taken yesterday, but others in this
district and elsewhere
Collector Lowry and Commissioner
Cabell, it is understood, have for some
time been planning to swoop down
upon these alleged violators. District
Attorney L. L. Lewis has been con-
suited in the matter, and much evil
dence against distillers is said to be
in hand.
Just what charges are held against
the Broad Rock Company are not
known, and inquiry last night at the
office of Collector Lowry brought forth
little information Further develop.

OWENS DEFEATS
OSCAR P A R RI SH
South Richmond Man Elected
Member OF the City School
Board.
WON OUT ON FIRST BALLOT
Joint Session Declines to Fill
Other Vacancies on Short
Notice.

| w. II, Owens. formerly member of
| the City School Board of the city of
! Manchester, was elected member OF
the Richmond School Board at Joint
session of the City Council last night
on the first ballot. His opponent was
Oscar e. Parrish, of Marshall ward,
who received strong support almost
running neck and neck In the Board OF
Aldermen, but falling behind in the
| lower branch
In nominating Mr. owens, Mr. Jones,
of South Richmond, called attention TO
the vacancy occurring as result OF
the redistricting of the city in accord
ance with the annexation act, and
claimed that the plain intent OF that
act, il not its specific wording, was
that South Richmond should have
representation on the School Board.
Mr.. Adams nominated Mr.. Parrish,
stating that the annexation agreement
did not require a representative from
that ward--.n fact, the three represen-
tatives from the tirst district might
| live in the same house. Dr. Reade
seconded Mr.. Parrish and MIR. Moore
| seconded Mr.. owens. but the day was
Won by a humorous speech IRON Mr.
| Blake VINO held that as matter OF
policy and for peace In the family.
! Washington Ward should have man
on the board-one out OF nine trustees.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Blake
was quite eloquent over the wonderful
| impetus given to the whole city by the
annexation, and in his tribute to the
men who had fought for that annex
alton against odds, his remarks meet
ing with prolonged applause
| Before the roll call had been finish
! ed it was seen who had won, and many
changed their votes to the winning
candidate, and Mr. owens was declar-
| ed duly elected.
Didn't Act on others
| Mr.. Gunst asked a suspension of the
rules to take up the designations of
| Messrs. e. D. Starke and A. b. Clarke
! from the School Board Both of these
designations were presented to City
Clerk Ben T. August yesterday. but
! the call for last nights meeting only
included the election of one trustee
| from the First District Mr. Lynch
! opposed suspension OF the rules. on
! the ground that no notice had been
/ given; that members of the Council
should know weeks in advance who the
nominees for such positions were, and
| be prepared to vote intelligently. He
wanted to know why members had
come to the meeting with designations
| in their pockets" and attempted to
take snap Judgment on the Council"
| Mr., Gunst stated that it had long
been known that both Mr. Clarke and
| Mr.. Starke would soon resign, and that
/ most of the members knew that the
! two candidates of the delegation from
/ the third school district were John
/ Bagby, formerly a member of the
| School Board from the first district,
who has recently moved into the West
| End, and ". j. kimbrough.
In the midst of the discussion, Al
derman Powers moved to adjourn, and
Z, the motion was adopted, neither of the
designations having been accepted.
