HEELS himself
ON CHRISTMAS
Eccentric Yet Astute Forger
Gathers His Sheckels on
Festive Day.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-A swindler,
known to the police as the Christ
mas Forger,' who during the shop
ping season last Christmas is said to
have obtained $21000 in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, has cheated
Chicago merchants out of thousands
of dollars within the last week, it
was learned today.
"A. Travers,' contractor and build.
er of Montreal, Canada, as the forger
introduced himself, carried letters Of
credit for sums varying from $1,000
to $4,000. He sought the Leading
jewelry establishments in the city for
his operations and is known to have
victimized four concerns out OF
$4,000. Others reported they had
cashed worthless drafts and checks
for sums ranging from $1OO to $500.
'Travers,' according to private de-
tectives, carries on his swindling OPP
creations only during the Christmas
shopping season and selects new
field every year.

case by the filing of a claim for that
amount by Charles Geissel, An insur-
aace agent, Of St. Paul Mimi, in

raising forces to check Villa senti-
ment on the west coast of Mexico,
General Jesus Carranza, bro.Aer OF
General Venustiano Carranza, left
'..-azatlal today aboard the Mexican
gunboat, Guerrero, for Salina Cruz.
General Carranza's departure follow
ed upon conference here with Gen.
eral Iturbide.
Loyalty on the Guerrero to the Car
rama party was considered SO uncer-
tain that a military guard went along
to keep the crew from muti.ly.
Interest in any further fighting
along the Pacific coast has died out,
and the soldiers are selling their arms
and ammunition. Troops stationed
at Mazatlan have destroyed the forti-
tications. Quiet prevails along the
entire coast AID it is freely reported
that the Carranza chiefs are prepar-
ing to leave the country
One of the effects of the long drawn
out warfare has been the shrinkage
in the value of Mexican money, until
one peso today in IMazatlaa is worth
only Is cents American.
: The assistance of the American ma
Wy was required to extricate Captain
Stewart of the Pacific Mail liner, San
Juan, from an embarrassing situation
in Salina Cruz today. A Mexican gen.
eral, who had been drinking, detain-
ed the vessel when she put in at that
port, demanding transportation for,
his troops and horses. When the San
Juan had been delayed an hour, how
ever, the cruiser, Raleigh, was seen
approaching and the general hastily
withdrew his request.

Pounced on by Seven, She Says,
She says the incident happened one
night last January in Ladies' Hall,
where she with the other students
had quarters She. was in her room
preparing ner studies when there was
knock on the door. She opened it
and without a word of warning, she
asserts. one of the defendants rushed
in and dragged her cut into the hall
There she was met by the six other
young girls and the seven pounced
upon her.
They first smothered her screams
and then stripped her Of her clothing.
One of the girls then ran, she alleges,
and secured a bottle Of red ink and
painted her chest, face, back and
neck. When they had finished this
diversion they poured bottle Of
mucilage over her back and stuck her
with pins 20 make her kneel.

BOTH STATE AUDITING
BOARD AND TREASURER
: 'STEEN PROVIDE SURETY
9 FOR THAT OFFICIAL,
AT S1ANDS1ILL ON NATTER
Treasurer Stands Pat on View
point as to His Right to Choose
Bondsman.

A peculiar complication has arisen
over the bond for the new state treas
urer, which if not settled before jan
uary >, may delay the taking office
OF Treasurer-elect Steen until the
matter is adjusted
Following out the custom hereto
fore in vogue, the state auditing
board some time since advertised for
bids for furnishing state treasur-
er's bond in the sum of $500 ,0O0, mas
much as the state pays the premium,
which amounts to $1,000. There were
a large number of bids, but no COM
petition, and acting on what the board
considered good business policy, the
total of the bond was divided among
a number cf bidders, thus scattering
the liability over large territory.
When this action reached the ears
OF Treasurer-elect Sieen. he notified
the auditing board that prior to the
letting of the bond contract by the
board he had arranged with a sure
ty company to furnish the entire
bond and that he preferred to stand
upon the arrangement he had made
and did not care to sign the bond des-
ignated by the board, and it would
appear deadlock has occurred Oh
the matter.
Ilasmuch as the treasurers bono
must be approved by the governor
and auditing board before the new
incumbent can take office, the situa-
tiOn nrpSantc aSnactc that aro anime
and that may become acute in case
the deadlock is not broken, as some
members of the auditing board are
strongly opposed to placing the en-
tire bond with one surety company.

to run their crrands when they are
requested to do SO and to be obedient
to their seniors until they have finish
ed their first year.
Miss Rogers. they said, on several
occasions had been requested to do
certain things but in each instance
she refused. She was told the rule of
the seniors, but still she was cbdur-
ate, and the seven girls held secret
meeting and decided to give the girl a
cold bath. They waited several days
for their opportunity, and when one
quiet night they found the time pro-
pitious they sneaked into Miss Rog.
ers' room and carried out their plan.
''It was only an innocent bit of haz-
ing" said Miss May Blue, one CT the
defendants, "and it was done in a
playful mood. We simply doused her
into a bath tub, and that was all. The
senior girls did not know that Miss
Rogers was III at the time
