BEATS GRAIN men
L. w. Lee FORCES Bills of Lading
From Lawrence.
Victimized Chicago Grain Men
to Tune Of $4,000.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Six Chicago grain
brokers lost approximately $1,000 on
Kan, and it wa.s on their complaint
that L. w. Lee was arrested in Kan
sas City.
The bills purported to indicate ship
ments of wheat over the Santa Fe rail-
way system and were paid without
question. When car numbers could not
be supplied, or were found to indicate
cars containing other freight, com
plants were made.
Investigation showed the bills to be
forgeries and the information was Civ
en- to the postoffice inspectors.
Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. ia man
VINO gave his name as L. w. Lee is
under arrest here. He was arraigned
before United States Commissioner Roy
3. Thomson on a charge of using the
mails in an attempt to defraud the
firm of Somers, Jones & Co. of Chi
cago, and others on alleged forged bills
of lading on wheat. His hearing was
set for Saturday. In default of s. 900
bail he was sent to Jail. The officials
believe that Lee is not his correct name.
Lee, according to the police, admitted
that he did not have the grain for which
he hau sent bills of lading to Chicago
firms.
Would Have Bought Grain.
Nobody lost anything by my sending
the bills to Chicago Lee said. And
no one would have lost for after 1
the Chicago firms 1 would have secured
the grain.
According to the police, Lee former
ly lived in Chicago, where he is said
to have been in the grain business. The
police have been unable 20 learn with
what firm Lee was connected.
According to George Davis, of the
Ernest-DaVis Grain company here, the
thing that aroused the suspicious Of
the Chicago firms was the fact that
III
the Kansas City market was higher
than the market at Chicago and Lee
could have gotten more for his grain
if he sold it here.
Asked an Advance Payment.
According to the federal authorities.
Lee sent to the Chicago firms bills of
lading for wheat shipments from Law
renee, Kan. Lee asked each firm for
$500 advance payment on the grain.
Lee appeared to be about 80 years
of age and weighed about $50 pounds.
He was well dressed
The information upon which he was
arrested cited that he had devised
schemes and articles to defraud at
Kansas city on or about December
H." When, it is stated, he placed GER
tain letters and bills of lading cover
ing five cars of wheat in the pOstoffice
Company and other persons and firms
of Chicago and elsewhere.
Lee was arrested at a rooming house
where he had been stopping. He de-
clined to tell anything about himself
and was averse to talking about the
charge placed against him. At the
United States marshaPs office it was
stated that they were unable to learn
where the man had lived before COM
ing to Kansas City. The belief was
stated, however, that the man was
travelling under an alias and that Lee
was not his correct name
