DAIRY FARM OWNER
SAYS EAVES TRIED
TO SW|NDLE HIM
Identifies Photo as Man Who
Paid for Farm With
Bogus Check.

Further evidence of the extensive
operations of Henry A Eaves, alleged
worthless check swindler, held on
charges Of obtaining 1926 from two
Washington automobile dealers, was
obtained by the police today.
e. 8. Wells, proprietor of a large
dairy farm at Glen Moore, N. j.,
wrote Major Sylvester today that he
had seen photograph of Eaves and
Identified II as that of a man who
attempted to swindle him out of $3.50
on August 81.
The photograph that you sent with
striped suit on" wrote Wells, is
to q certainty the same man who at
tempted to defraud me.
This party. under the name of Will
liam J. Argus, gave me what pur-
ported to be a certified check for
$2.S50 on the Marine National Bank
land amounting to s2,100. / suspected
him and gave him my check for $3.50
dated ahead l at once wired the
Buffalo bank and they phoned me
the the certification was forgery. !
The Pinkertons have Identified
Eaves as a check worker who under
the name of Ennis served time at
FOLSOM, Cal. superintendent EuEence
Van Buskirk, of the National Bureau
Of Criminal Identification, reports
that his records show that Eaves,
under the name of Gordon Whiten
was arrested in Buffalo in 1904 for
forgery, and was sentenced to five
years in Auburn.
]. NJ. Quimby & Co., carriage and au-
tomobile builders of Newark, N. j.,
also wrote to the police here requesting
that a photograph Of Eaves be for
warded to them.
The description in the papers" the
letter read. fits that OF a man who two
weeks ago tried to work off on us a
certified check for $500 in payment for
new car. which was to cost $500.
Here he used another name, and he
said he was the New Orleans represen-
tative of an express company. His plan,
however. failed"
The police are convinced that Eaves
Is one Of the most accomplished and no.
torious check workers in the country.
Fifty-fve years OF age, Eaves, accord
ing to the police records. has spent
about ten years in two penitentiar ries.
and his record also shows that he has
operated In many of the large cities of
the country.
The police expect within the next day
or two to hear from a number of other
cities and police officials throughout the
country where they sent a photograph
and description OF the prisoner.

JEWISH, NEW YEAR
BEGINS WEDNESDAY
AS SHOPHAR SOUNDS
Ten Days Later Comes Yom
Kippur, Day of
Atonement.

The shophar or rams horn will sound
in Jewish temples and synagogues We'd
nesday when the New Year, according
to the Jewish calendar, begins. This
symbolic act is performed in obedience
to a scriptural precept, and is pre-
sumed to recall to the minds of wor-
shippers the solemn spiritual demands
of the day
The Jewish New Year Is not only the
beginning of the year, but II is also the
date of new moon and this the sew
enth of the calendar. Seven throughout
the mysterious East Is a sacred num-
Der, to which strange powers are
ascribed. The seventh new moon. ac-
cordfng to ancient precept. marks an
occasion Of unusual Importance.
The scriptural titles of the New Year
are " the memorial of blowing of trum-
pets" and the day Of blowing the
trumpet" According to Jewish chro-
nology the year 5673 begins Wednesday
evening.
On the 10th of Tishri, the tenth day
after the New Year, begins Yom Kip
pur. the day Of atonement. Beginning
with the first Of the year, the members
OF Israel are presumed to undergo a
period of spiritual exaltation and purIfi-
cation. as result of which the day Of
atonement when he Is one with his God
marks a successful climax to his devo-
tions. To aid in making the day OF
atonement one of humility and abnega-
ton, II has since time immemorial been
a day of fasting. This Injunction is
passed upon the very material fact that
hunger tends toward humility and lowll-
ness Of spirit

SOUTHERN DENIES
ITS BRAKE. MEN GET
ONE DOLLAR WAGE
Most of Them Make Nearer
Three a Day, Declare
Officials.

Officials of the Southern railway
today fatty denied statements made
by labor leaders with regard to the
wages received on the Southeastern
lines, which is the subject of the con.
troversy now pending between the
managers and employees
'It Is absolutely untrue" said one
"that there are brakemen on any OF
the Southeastern lines receiving less
than 81 a day. There may be men or
the reserve list, who work about ter
days in a month who do not average
more than this.
but there is no brakeman on a reg
ular run who makes that little. Mos'
of them make nearer SO a day. The
statements quoted from the labor
leaders are misleading in the ex.
treme."
All the managers whose Offices are
elsewhere than in Washington LEFT
the city Saturday night and will re-
TURN Wednesday morning. Matters arc
therefore at standstill SO far as the
railroads are concerned.
Union Men Coming.
In the meantime, every train from the
Southeast Is bringing committeeman
from the various local unions. .lbou
fifty arc already in the city and hun
dred more are expected tonight and
tomorrow. They will be in conference
Off and on until o'clock wedncsdaJ
afternoon, when they will meet tn,
railroad managers, and give their fina
answer as to whether or not they ar,
willing to submit the case to arbitra.
tion. as proposed by the managers Sat
urday.
Union leaders said today that they
were doing nothing at present, and thai
the situation had not changed since
Saturday. They will probably mold 6
confeperce tomorrow afternoon, wher
the offer of the railroads will be lait
before the committeeman. So far a.
can be learned, no definite time fol
this meeting has been named.
Do Not Favor Plan.
Nothing has developed that would in
dicate a willingness on the part Of tho
labor men to arbtrate. While none o
them will state positively his position
In the matter, 1t is gathered from tho
general attitude that the labor mer
will not accept the arbitration offer.
And, while the situation is unchanged
since Saturday, so FAR as any real ac'
ton is concerned. II would seem thai
both sides are more determined thai
ever to stick to their original positions

Hunt returned to the city at midnight

Want Lower Rates
For Telegraphing

Alleging that 1t has been damaged
through the maintenance by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company of spe-
cial rates for newspaper messages. w.
n. White & Co., OF New York, have filed
a complaint with the Interstate Com
merce Commission asking that the tele-
graph company be required to put in
force more reasonable rates for all
business. and fixing the damage already
sustained at 5000
paper rates are but IS per cent of the
ordinary commercial rates. 1t also calls
attention to the fact that the telegraph
company transmits special night and
dav messages at reduced rates, and that
this custom has recently been inaugu-
rated on cable business between New
York and London.
1t declares that the Western Union
obtained control of cable companies
operating from points where it operates
as common carrier in order to throttle
competition.
