TWENTY THOUSAND BANKS
LOOKING FOR SWInDLERS

New York, Sept. 29.-Twenty
thousand banks in every section of
the world have been notified by the
United States Express Company that
a band of international swindlers has
counterfeited the company's $50 trav-
elers' checks and are passing them
wholesale in Europe. Twenty-four of
the counterfeit checks, issued and ut
tered within a week and cashed at
Carlsbad, Lugano and Nice, have
been received by the company here.
These checks, representing one
weeks operation are dated August 22
to 20, and were cashed by two men,
who signed the checks Robert T. Mac
Donald and William T. Riley
A cablegram received from the
Wiener Bankverein of Vienna de-
scribes one of the men as an elderly
man, smooth shaven, OF slight figure
and flat-nosed.
Armed with this description, detec-
tives of every European country are
seeking the counterfeiters. Checks
that may have been issued since Au-
gust 20 have not yet been received
here, and the amount involved in the
operations subsequent to that date is,
therefore, conjectural.

Denver Sept. 29.-An important
matter to several states in the west

States circuit court of appeals now
sitting in Denver. The court will
determine whether President Taft
had legal right to withdraw from
entry 3.041. 900 acres of oil land To-
Gated in Wyoming, California and
other western states. The withdraw
al was made in September, 1909.
The question is raised in suit
brought by the United States against
the Midwest Oil Company to vacate
l50 acres of land near Casper, Wyo
The land is valued at $1,000 an
acre. and it was through this prop
erty that several Colorado citizens
have become immensely wealthy. If
the oil company loses its suit, the
company will be forced to give back
the property, now said to be worth
more than $4,000, 1000, to the
government for the benefit of the
people Because of this fact, the fl

Sentinel Special Service.


Denver, Sept. 29.-The Importance
to the state Of Colorado of an immi-
grafton department was emphasized
last week when a meeting of busi-
ness men of Denver was held, attend
ed by several hundred persons, among
them being Governor Ammons. The
object of the gathering was to de-
wise some system by which the ad-
yantages and opportunities of the
state might be properly advertised to
the world.
In view of the fact that the 18th
seneral assembly abolished the state
immigration bureau along with sew
eral other departments and commits
sions, as means of economy to the
state, it was decided to form what
Is to be known as Colorado Com
monwealth commission, at the head
of which is to be Governor Ammons.
With the possible exception of the
secretary, no other official will draw
salary.
1t is understood that this new or
sanization will take up the immigra-
tion work done by the state immigra-
tion bureau in the interest of the en-
lire state. Its efforts will not only
be directed in the interest of Den
YER, but will boost for every section
of the state. 1t is to be state or
ganization-in the interest of all
Colorado. Twenty men prominent in
business affairs of the state are to
comprise the commission and are soon
o be appointed.
Governor Ammons has been asked
Sy the Chamber of Commerce of this
city to consider set of names which
will be suggested by that body when

LEADS TO MORE MYSTERY
WiEIEesbarTe, Pa, July 9.-The
mystery surrounding the death of IS
year-old Alice CrispweI, whose body
was found in HarYey's Lake last
Monday, only deepens with inVestiga-
ton.
Herbert Johns, one of the girls
sweethearts, is being held in jail for
her murder.
But the big question is whether or
not the girl was murdered, and les
ser, but quite important one, is
whether, if she were murdered, it is
not more likely that disappointed
sutton committed the murder rather
than Johns, the successful lover.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of the girl, but it has not led to
much light being thrown on the mys-
terry.
There are teeth imprints and fin
ger marks on the girls body" said
DR.. F. J. Higgins, who conducted the
autopsy. 81 am convinced murder
was committed"
Coroner James Marley spoke In
another vein.
There is absolutely no indication
of causes for any one wanting to put
the girl out of the way" he said.
There are bruises on both sides Of
the forehead that look like teeth
marks, although they could have
been inflicted by a jagged stone or by
falling. Personally I do not incline
to the murder theory"
The letter written by Johns to
Miss Crispwen at the time her body
was lying at the bottom of Harvey's
Lake bIackens the night surrounding
the girls death.
The letter indicates that Harrison
Cam, a one-armed rival for the heart
and hand of Alice Crispwell, and
Johns had agreed to swim across
Harvey's Lake July 4th, the winner
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-09

rivals did swim against each other,
and that Cam, despite his loss of an
arm, won. But at the end of the
race, according to this rumor, which
cannot be traced to and definite
source, the girl threw her arms
around Johns neck and laughed in
Cams face, saying she would not
marry him if he swan the Atlantic
ocean.
Harrison Cam has not been arrest
ed, but he is under constant surveil-
lance by order of County Detective
Holman and State Trooper Freeman.
The letter Johns wrote to the girl
Sunday shows one of two things,
either Johns is past master in COW
ering a crime or he is innocent of any
guilt in connection with his sweet
hearts death. The letter runs the
gamut of emotions; it is just the sort
Of letter a man devotedly in love with
a young girl might be expected to
write; it is gay, humorous, candid,
and in one place drops to pathOs in
intimating that the girl was forget
ting him while he could never forget
her.
The one strong circumstance back
ing the accident theory is that Alice
Crispwen was subject to epileptic
fits.
The girls body win be buried to-
morrow morning. Coroner Marley
has impaneled a jury to sit Thursday
and hear evidence. Johns hopes for
his release under bail after the in
quest tomorrow.

AS the days wore away Lucy began
to feel less and less comfortable in

atmosphere of worldliness and insin-

times. The ways of her cousins were
so different from those in her fathers
household .,
Her mother had died two years be-

west on an important business mat

an empty house. For this reason she
tried hard to adjust herself until the
end of her visit should arrive.

Foberg brothers. outlaws. who shot
and killed Detective Bailey of the
Northwest Mounted Police and seri-
ously injured Constable Whitley,
made their escape from their cabin
into the timber early yesterday. Ten
special mounted police surrounded the
place, but discovered that the men
had gone. They are seeking the out
laws trail in the timber. Under
ground passages left the cabin in
all directions the police found. and it
is supposed that the brothers made
their escape to the timber through one
of these passages.
