''LOVE OF A GIRL

Youth Tries to Pass Forged
Check for a Ring.

Love of a girl made me do it," said
Bernard Mahoney, twenty-five years old,
of 116 East Capitol street, last night,
after confcssing that he had forged a
check which he tried to pass in payment
for an engagement ring.

her. and it didn't seem much for a man
10 do for the girl he loves. I'd do it
again.
Mahoney spent the night in the First
precinct station. He said the girl who
was to have received the diamond did not
know Of his arrest.
Mahoney was arrested in the jewelry
store of J. Selinger, at $50 street north
west. After selecting a ring priced at
$50, he offered a check for $3.50, payable
TO himself and bearing the name of Jo-
seph !. Weller. Mahoney said 'Tl leave
the check with you and come back In a
few minutes with some one who will
tell you that l and the check are all

When Mahoney left the clerk got busy

of the whole affair. Instead he at
tempted to prove an alibi to account for
his whereabouts at the time Bennett was
assaulted
In the short time while the two men
stood facing each other the whole story
of the circumstances leading up to the
assault was related by Bennett. He told
of how Smith had come to his house and
asked him to carry a box Of tools to the
city for him: how he had acQuiesced,
how nervous Smith seemed, and then the
meeting with the prisoner on the morn
ing of the assault, and how he was
struck with a hatchet and knocked un-
conscious.
Bennett also declared he had with him
at the time of the assault $50 in money
and his watch. The police have con-
Quoted thorough probe of the entire
territory in the vicinity of the assault,
hut have failed to find any trace of the
money or watch.
Smith was taken back to his cell at
tire District Jail after the meeting with
Bennett, but failed to show any signs
of emotion. District Attorney Wilson is
arranging now to summon the witnesses
in the case TO appear before the grand
jury on Tuesday.

CHARGED WITH NONSUPPORT.
Myers Case Indefinitely Postponed
in Juvenile Court.


An unusual case which has been before
the courts Of the District for more than
two years was revived yesterday, when
Walter E. Myers. of 1903 l street north
east an employe of the navy yard, was
arraigned in the Juvenile Court, charged
with failing to support his two-year-old
baby. The information was filed by his
wife, Grace T. Myers, of 656 Callan
street northe asst. through Attorney James
A. Toomey. The defendant was repre-
sented by Attorney Greed NJ Fulton.
Myers and the complaining witness
went TO Rockville. Nd. in 1909 and were
secretly married. A child was born, and
on August 2S, 1909. an indictment was
issued, charging Myers with a serious
Offense. Myers then instituted proceed
ings for the annulment Of the marriage.
The court ordered the marriage annulled.
Soon afterward Mrs. Myers had Myers
arraigned in the Juvenile Court for non
support. He promised to pay 50 a week
for the support of the child for one wear.
When the year expired Myers continued
10 contribute this weekly amount for six
months In November the payments
ceased. AS a result, another charge OF
nonsupport was yesterday filed in the
Juvenile tribunal.
Myers defense yesterday was that as
the marriage had been annuIIed he was
under no legal obligation to care for the
child. The court indefinitely postponed
the case. Attorney Toomey, for the
prosecution. assisted by Prosecuting At
torney John NJ. George. maintained that
as the father had admitted the paternity
of the child when arraigned before the
court on she previous occasion, he there

SHELDON EXPLAINS
HARTMAN NOTES
No Basis for Inference ROOse-
Velt Is a Candidate.

New York, Dec. 22.-George r. Sheldon
in an interview to-day explained the pub
hcation of the correspondence between
Col. Roosevelt and himself relative to
the Hartman contribution to the Re-
publican campaign fund in 1904.
Col. Roosevelt and myself were aboard
train together some ten days age"
said Mr.. Sheldon. "and this matter came
up in conversation from something in
the newspaper. 1 said, Why was the
truth never told about this whole busi-
ness, so that it could be shut up?' Col.
Roosevelt said, Why can't you tell it
now?' That is all there is to it."
Asked If he thought it was advisable
to reopen the controversy at the present
time, Mr.. Sheldon replied:
II thought not, but Col. Roosevelt
asked me to write the letter and I did
so. 1t was purely a matter of friendship
on my part. That letter states the whole
truth and ought to stop the comment"
Mr.. Sheldon added that there was no
basis for the inference that Col Roose-
velt intends to seek a denomination for
the Presidency.
Col Roosevelt has not told me that
he is a candidates" he said, "On the
contrary. he has told me repeatedly that
he is not a candidate"
Col. Roosevelt, when seen at oyster
Bay to-day, refused to enter into any dis
cussion of the Sheldon-ROosevelt letters
bearing upon the Hartman 1904 campaign
contribution. The colonel sent word to
all callers at Sycamore Hill tonight,
through his butler, that there was moth
ing to say: not a word"
Earlier in the day, while the colonel
was in the village of Oyster Bay, he
was asked to discuss the letters and the
new version that they gave of the Har-
riman contribution. He remarked: Now
the letters are out; let them simmer in
the public mind and added that the
public had been allowed to entertain
a wrong impression of the contribution.
The colonel had nothing to say about
the statement of Mr.. Sheldon that the
colonel himself expressed a desire that
Mr.. Sheldon make the letters public. Nor
would he comment on Mr.. Sheldon's state
ment that Col. Roosevelt had said to
him he did not intend to be a candidate
for reelection. Nothing to say on any
thing insisted the colonel.

LA TOILETTE IS
STILL A CANDIDATE
His Manager Denies that He
Is Out of the Race.

W. L. Houser, chairman of the Progress
sive Republican campaign committee in
this city, has sent the following self
explanatory telegram, correcting a mis-
statement which appeared in the Mime
apolis Journal, conveying the impression,
II not, indeed, the direct assertion, that
Senator la Toilette would be dropped as
the candidate of the progressives for
President:
There Is not the slightest foundation
for this story says Mr.. HCuser. Sen
atOr La Follette's candidacy was never
so strong as at the present time. He
will be supported by the Republicans who
desire to win in 1912. Developments with
in the next few weeks will show beyond
question that there is good reason to pre-
dict his nomination. And. once for all.
let II be known that he will be supported
by the earnest, aggressive Republicans
of the Progressive organization until the
campaign closes. Neither he nor his
friends are cutters. And there is no
reason for quitting. On the contrary,
there is every reason for redoubling our
efforts, because OF the certainty of win
ming the fight. Printing such misleading
stories Is characteristic of dying cause
the swan song. The rapid growth Of
the La Toilette campaign is itself an
answer to this one"

GHoULs OVERLOOK JEWELS.
Break Open Actress Tomb, but Fail
to Find VaIuabIes.

Paris. Dec. 22.-The tomb of the celebrat-

great value under Nine. Lantelme's head.
Among the gems is a pearl necklace val

The ghouls were traced to the cem-

probably came from a. wound sustained
by one of the robbers in forcing the
metal casket.

SHERMAN NOT INsIsTENT.
Realizes Party Interests May Make
denomination Inexpedient.

Reports which represent Vice Presi-
dent Sherman and his friends as insisting
that he shall have second place on the
Republican national ticket with Mr.. Taft
are not warranted by facts. II can be
said that Vice President Sherman is first
of all for the denomination of Mr.. Taft
Mr.. Taft understands this, and also that
he win have whatever support Mr.. Sher-
man can give him in New York State
for denomination.
So far from planning any fight to force
his denomination for Vice President, Mr..
Sherman realizes that conditions may
arise which may make II expedient that
another man be selected to run with Mr..
Taft. In that event Mr.. Sherman will
not put UP a fight for second place on
the ticket. The belief here Is that Mr..
Sherman's friends in New York State
wiz attempt to name him for governor.

An Argument that Stops Over,

That Judges would degenerate
into nouthpieces Of the mob if
subjected to popular recall, is an
argument that proves too much
for its purpose, If that is a NOR
al makeup Of our judges. they
would degenerate into office boys
Of corporations without the re-
call, and Of the two, mouthpieces
Of the mob would b. preferable
on the bench to corporation office
boys.
And what is this mob that
would recall crooked judges:
