A CHECK FOR
$2I0.6I WAS
RAISED $500
New Jersey Produce Com
pany Made Payment TO Po-
tsto Dealer Last Week.
CASHED AT ALLEGHANY
PENNSYLVANIA MONDAY
Discovered When Local
Bank ReceiV ed Check Back
WAS Certified.

William II. Fullerton, a member
of the New Jersey Produce Company,
learned yesterday through the First
National Bank, of this city, that q
check for $210.61, which he issued
last week, had been raised to
$1,010.61 and cashed in the Alle-
ghany County Bank, In Allegheny
County, Pa. The check, Mr. Fuller
ton says, was issued to James Helm
sleman, Wholesale potato merchant
Of Allegheny County. He was in
this city last Friday, having come
here from Pennsylvania to look after
a consignment of potatoes which he
had shipped to the local company.
According to George Fullerton,
also a member of the produce COM
pany, Heinsleman was given the
check for $210.61 and had it certi-
fed for that amount at the First
National Bank. He then took IL to
the bank in Pennsylvania, but before
he had 1t cashed, II is charged, he
raised the amount to S1,010.61. The
alleged raising was discovered when
the certification slip, made out for a
small amount, was received by the
Allegheny bank. Inquiries at the
bank in this city brought back an
swer that the check had been made
out for s210.61 when certified.
The face of the check had been
altered very cleverly. The statement
two hundred and ten dollars and
sixty-one cents" had been trans
formed into ten hundred and ten
dollars and sixty-one cents" by
changing the two" to ten" The
changing of the figures In the lower
left-hand corner had been even more
cleverly executed. A figure ~ had
been made in front of the amount,
the 20" had been filled in and the
tail erased. p.
Unless Heinsleman makes good
the difference, it is declared the AL
leghany County Bank will be the
loser. 1t was stated this morning
that Heinsleman had probably left
Allegheny before the alleged forgery
was dicovered

ATTEMPTS To
CHOKE WIFE
Anton 0kosky is Found Try
ing to StrangIe Wom an
With Towel.
PLACED UNDER ARREST

On charges of making threats
against his wife's life, and attempt,
ing to carry them out by stranglfnl
her with towel, Anton Okosky
fifty years old, resident of Maurer
was arrested yesterday The arrest
was made by Detective Sergeant
Long and Patrolman L. C. Jensen
after a hurry call had been sent to
police headquarters for help.
According to the police, Okosky
would in all probability have sue
ceeded had it not been for the as
sistance of neighbors, who, hearing
her screams, rushed to her aid. He
had thrown his wife on the bed, the
police allege, and with one knee on
her chest was strangling her with a
towel. When her rescuers arrived
he tried to prevent them from taking
her away, but despite his protest she
was taken to Nickenig's hotel and
the police were telephoned for.
When Detective Long and Patrol
man Jensen arrived they were COM
PEELED to overpower Okosky before
he would submit to arrest. He was
fined $40 by Recorder Pickersgill
this morning.
Mrs. Okosky, although she ap-
peared against her husband and
later paid his fine, is still suffering
from the effects of the attempted
strangulation. Her neck is swollen,
and large red ring encircling the
member shows how tightly the towel
had been drawn. She said that her
husband had been drinking and that

strangle her. The police state that
Okosky has a bad record. Several

NEW SIGNAL
SYSTEM WILL
Be INSTALLED
De vice at Port Reading
Crossing to Avert accidents
--Engineers at Work.
IMPROVEMENT MADE
By C. R. R. COMPANY

A corps of engineers and work
men are installing a more efficient
signal and derailing system at the
Port Reading crossing, which is one
OF the most dangerous crossings be-
tween this city and Jersey City. The
system is being improved in every
way possible, so as to prevent repeti-
ton or any disaster such as occurred
there on the morning of February
22, last, when nineteen loaded coal
cars were derailed, hurled down an
embankment and wrecked.
The crossing Is situated about
three hundred feet north of the Port
Reading railroad station and is
where the Philadelphia & Reading
freight tracks cross the main line
tracks of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. This crossing, owing to
extensive traffic, requires a signal
and derailing system of the very best
improved make.
The system is being equipped with
new chains, rods and wires. The
wires are being run in new wooden
boxes for protection. Iron pipe poles
are being substituted for former
wooden ones. Engineers have
changed some of the lines of wires to
signal posts and an entirely new de-
railing device has been placed on the
Philadelphia & Reading tracks.
investigation after the wreck of
February %, when a Central passen-
ger train almost crashed into the
mass of debris, has caused railroad
officials to believe that an improper
ly working derailing device was the
cause. The work of improving the
system is in charge of the Central
Railroad Company.
