Jersey inventor Sees the End of the
Check Raisers and How to Put
Stop to the easy Craft
Game
WORKED YEARS ON IT
Fifteen Millions Lost Yearly Due to
Bad Check Protection, He Says,
viii be Overcome by
His Invention.
Especial to The Gate city.l

NEWARK, N j., April 16-While
check raisers and forgers in the Unit
ed States have been doing an annual
business of $4,000, 600, deceiving the
most alert bank cashiers and battling
the best detectives in the country,
Charles w. Howell Jr., of this city
has been working secretly on de-
vice which he now proves .'nips In
the bud any attempt to alter or
forge checks.
According to crook expert who
was formerly manager for William J.
Burns, the famous detective, there
are more forgery criminals in this
country than any other class. In 1908
in report to the American Bankers
Association the Pinkerton Detective
Agency showed that there were seven
cases Of forgery and check raising re-
ported to every burglary.
These amazing facts started Mr.
Howell working out his ideas about a
device to protect checks He discov-
cred that modern methods, used in
business to prevent criminals in their
operations. did not put a stop to this
crime. The crooks art is practiced
more today than ever by amateur as
well as professional forgers
The machine Mr. Howell has resem-
bles somewhat a small-sized typewrIt.
er. The valuable features about it
are chiefly two; peculiar kind of
type that causes ink to penetrate
through paper at the same time MAX
ing small perforations. AT the same
time, the writing does not lose the
character of its appearance and
makes it impossible for the most skill
full penman or artist to initiate. The
other feature is the use of a new in
delible ink which he defies any pro-
fessional forger to erase by any
method known TO him. When seen in
his little work shop at AZ Stratford
Place, Mr.. Howell made this state
ment:
The more | learned about this
class of criminals. the more determin.
ed ] became to discover a method for
putting a stop to their easy graft
game. The public is really kept in
ignorance of the facts connected with
forgeries. In the United States this
business yields a revenue of $4,000,
200 in a single year. That is the
amount of money actually stolen by
fcrgers-hard cash that they ge
away with, according to the estimates
made by surety companies and detec
tive agencies which are most concern

ed in the matter The figures are
astounding but nevertheless true.
so serious has the work of the oen
crook become that three years ago
only three surety companies were is
suing insurance against forgery and
check raising. Two of them were
compelled to stop this kind of bust
ness; the other charged $3.50 premium
ON a $4,000 policy for the period OF
one year.
One of the chief reasons why forg,
cries seldom see the light of publicity
is owing to the fear of banks and
business men that publicity might in
jure them. One prominent New York
bank in one year lost $4,000 on three
checks. This has never been publish
ed. while the name of the bank would
be known to any business man in the
country"
In working out his checkwriting
machine, Mr.. Howell said he kept in
mind two Salient facts; that in nine
cases out of ten the crook changes
the amount of the check when small
to a higher amount, and more impor-
tant still, the name of the person to
whom the money is to be paid is al
most invariably erased and the crook
writes instead Bearer or Cash" so
as to easily cash the check. 1. is
necessary to consider that the payee's
name, is the most important part OF a
check to protect, because it would re-
quire superhuman effort by the crook
to get the check cashed. Mr. Howell's
machine makes it impossible for
crooks to make either of these
changes. Mr.. Howell has experiment.
ed with his machine for several years
and it shows his skill as an expert en-
gineer as well as a chemist.
