Secretary Knox Defends
Arbitration Treaties.
He SPEAKS IN CINCINNATI.
Presidents Chief Adviser Contends
That Pacts With France and Great
Britain Do Not Deprive Senators
Of Their Rights and That Mon
roe Doctrine Is In No Danger.

Cincinnati, Nov. 9. - Secretary of
State Knox delivered speech here in
support of the general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
now pending for ratification before the
United States senate.
Secretary Knox's speech was the ad-
ministration's formal answer to the re
port made by the majority of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations
against the treaties. Secretary Knox
in his speech contended that the trea-
ties as presented by the administration
do not deprive the senate of any of its
constitutional rights. He declared that
there was no danger of the Monroe
doctrine becoming involved in arbitra-
ton; that no nation putting itself in
the attitude of deliberately violating
that doctrine could expect to find in
the treaty terms of protection against
the consequences Of such an act"
He made further objections advanc-
ed by the senate committee, with the
statement that the questions of immi-
grafton and territorial integrity also
would be beyond the scope of the
treaty

New York, Nov. 9.-The convention

President Taft's peace resolutions and
condemning the evils Of the liquor

In the debate on the former question
the position taken by Senator Root of

with saloons. rtr. ..... .-

"the action of President Taft in nego-

Speakers on the question included
half the prominent men in the conven-
ton. j. Pierpont Morgan had part in
the peace controversy, but was not
present at the later discussion.
At last, long after the usual adjourn

shout in favor of the resolutions in
practically the form first presented by
Mr.. Chalmer, which in effect denounc-
ed the evils of the traffic and referred
the matter to the social service COM
mission, standing body, to perfect
plans and report how the Episcopal
church in the diocese of New York
may join with others in aggressively
fighting the evil. .....

INDIANA FOR EFFICIENCY.

Candidates, Not Politics, Generally
Successful In Election.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 9.-Complete
returns from the election in incorporat-
ed towns show that partisan issues
were generally avoided and that the
voters selected their officers because of
efficiency rather than because of poll
tics. In some cases entire Republican
tickets were elected and in, others the
Democrats were successful, but ever
in such cases the result was not due
to, party politics. The Socialists in a
number Of towns made large gains,
and this was about the only thing dis
tinctive in the elections.
The wet and dry issues became
prominent in number of places, and
as a rule the moral forces were vic
tors, eelecting marshals who were
pledged to enforce the law. The Rev.
O., w. Bundy, a Methodist minister,
was elected marshal of Upland on a
reform platform. He promises to en-
force the law and take care of his
flock at the same time. s'r-..'

Taft that he has seen in his entire
$4,000 miles of journeying.
The president arrived here after a

Lincoln. The Boy Scouts of the town
acted as escorts to the president, and
they made pretty picture for his pa

forming in open ranks ahead of his au-
tomobile and waving sticks of red fire.
Mr.. Taft took just enough time at
the hotel for change of clothes and
went directly to the armory for q

Error of Newark Bank Clerk In 1906,
So Police Say, Led Honest Men t,
Turn to Swindline Until oper
atoms Reached Beyond the
Half Million Mark.

New York, Nov. 9.-The three men
of many vocations who were arrest ed
on Tuesday night charged with hay.
in got between $5OO,0OO and $6OO.OO
in the past five years on hand painted
forged checks are held without bail in
the Tombs for forty eight hours pend
ing further fuller Investigation. They
are wanted in at least twenty cities
Probably they will be tried here. bul
they may be sent elsewhere if il de-
velops that other towns have tighter
cases against them. The men under
arrest are Charles Carlesi, Louis
Schutzbereer and Isidor Weiss
1t was a mistake of a bookkeeper in
a Newarf bank that gave Schutzber
ger and Isidor Weiss their first tip us
to how easily cash could be tricke1
o:t of the banks, according to the stn-
ry of headquarters detective. That
was in 1906. Schutzberger's mother
having died and his father having re
linquished his saloon at 116 Columbus
street and returned to Russia. Schutz
berger and Weiss went over to New
ark and started a cigar store at 112
Springfield avenue. In those days
they were using their own honest
names.
One day late in 1906 Schutzberger
found that the bookkeeper who had
balanced his passbook at the Union
National bank had credited him with
1915 too much. Before the bank could
learn of the error the cigar store was
closed and Schutzberger and Weiss
had vanished
Presently the elder SchutzbergeI
came back from Russia and announced
to east side friends that his boy was
dead Dead he remained to his rela
tives and former cronies until the ar
rests of Tuesday night brought him
to life amid a flock of aliases. The
point of the Newark bank is that that
institution is on the list of those sup
posed to have been swindled by the
trio in 1908, two years after the book
keeper inadvertently started the young
tobacconists on criminal career
The police are no clearer to an in
sight into the methods by which the
checks of ns4ny banks were duplicated
and forged. Schutzberger and Weiss,
who have confessed a good deal, pro
fessed to know nothing about the ac-
tual forging of the paper which they
passed Carlesi, the leader, who IL
credited with being shrewder man
than the others, has said nothing. The
tale of an artist so skillful with brush
and india ink that he was able to man
ufacture checks which banks certified
without looking twice remains merely
a tale.
The Pinkertons say that none of tn
checks which have come to light-they
total $4,000 ever saw a printing
press. Three of them were done in
pen and ink, several with a camels
hair brush and ink and the rest were
made by gelatin method of transfer
ence.
The specific charge is that the three
prisoners passed forged checks for 50
on the Hanover National bank dated
May "a, 1909, signed Eugene MaEer
& Company" and payable to "a. Eel
ler." ssr
