Fraud Scheme to Get Groceries.

Three grocers, Justin Holden, R. F. Smith and Franklin Rumford, have recently been victims by foreigner by the same scheme of ordering a considerable bill of goods, amounting to $10 or over, on the plea that it was provisions for christening. In each case he asked that the goods be sent to an address on North Main street where payment for the whole bill would be made when the goods were delivered. Before leaving the store he would suggest that he would take a few of the things with him as they were needed in advance of the main part of the order. In this way he would secure about $2. worth and when the delivery cler karrived at the ad- dress he would be either unable to find any such number on the street or elst the people at the house knew nothing about the order

HORN FIGHTING REMOVAL
TO MASSACHUSETTS
A Day of Lively Skirmishes in Trial
 at Bangor, Me.

Bangor, Maine, March 1S.-Werner Horns battle against removal to the Massachusetts federal district for trial on the charge of illegally transporting explosives, in connection with his at tempt to blow up the international railway bridge at Vanceboro, remain ed unfinished tonight after 8 day of lively legal sflirmishes.
 Before the United States commits sioner. Charles H. Reid, who held a preliminary hearing to determine the question of probable cause, Horn S counsel insisted that federal and state courts were without jurisdiction be- cause Horn, a lieutenant of the Prus- sian 1andWehr, acted as a bell1gerent against Great Britain. Counsel as- serted any that such action as the transportation Of explosives should be regarded as a part of a general con- tinUOuS act of war. Their effort to support this contention by the intro- duCtion of various documents as evil dence was OVerruled by the commits siOner who sustained the protests of the prosecution in dec1iping that the evidence was admissible only under a plea of not guilty.
 The same evidence was presented later after the court had formally en- tered a plea of not guilty for the pris- oner, the defense having declined tc plead. The prosecution put on nc witnesses resting after a copy of the indictment had been offered as evil dence
 The defense called United States Marshal Wilson of Portland, and ask ed 9, number of questions regarding the issuance of a warrant by Judge Hale of the federal court at Portland at the request of the Canadian author ities seeking Horns eXtradition All the questions were ruled out by the court and exceptions taken. Former Congressman Joseph F. O'Connell counsel for the defense, said that 1T putting these inquiries he desired tC show that the Canadian government wanted Horn for an offense in thai country and that the extradition war. rant was being suppressed to make way for the Massachusetts warrant.

TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT
 MONEY IN NATIONAL BANKS
With View to Redepositing It Later
 in Federal Reserve Banks.

Washington. March 1S.-Transfer of some of the government money now on deposit in national banks, to the treasury with a view to re-deposittng it later in federal reserve banks, has been begun by direction of Secretary McAdoo.
 About s56, o0o,oo0 now on deposit with national banks can be transferred but so far only comparatively small amount has been touched. Treasury officials explained tonight that the transfers to date have been from banks which had more government money than they could use under present conditions.
 When the plan for transfer of funds to reserve banks was broached last fall several members of the federal reserve board were understood to have indicated their objection unless such funds were distributed throughout the system. The understanding is, how ever, that when the distribution is made, probably several weeks hence, all the banks will be considered.
 In addition to the funds now in na- tional banks the treasury can deposit possibly $100, 0,000,0 900 more which is now in it's. vaults or in treasury offices out side of Washington. Possibly S2O,- 100000 CT $2o,000.O0 would be kept here.

RUMoRS OF DESTRUCTION
 OF THE KARLSRUHE.
Latest Enaaates From German
 Merchant Captain.

Copenhagen, voa London, March II. Another version of the alleged destruction of the German cruiser Karlsruhe is published today by the National Tiderde. This account pur- ports to emenate from a German mer- chant captain who had served as a petty officer of the Landstrum in Will helmshaven. The captain is report ed to have declared that the crew of the Karlsruhe arrived in Germany on the German liner Rio Neogro early in De- cen1ber,' but that this fact and the fact that the disaster had occurred were kept secret so that the British cruis- CTS would continue their search for the German sea raider.
 Early in December it was reported that the Karlsruhe had evaded the British fleet an darrived in a German port
 Recently there have been no re- ports of the actual movements of the Karlsruhe which early in the war gained fame as a sea raider, although there have been several unconarmed statements that the cruiser had met with disaster. One of these stores ennanated from sea captain who as serted that he had seen the hulk of the Grenadine Islands of the Wind ward group, in the Caribbean sea. The vessel he declared, either had gone ashore in a storm or been des- troyed by an explosion.
 A London despatch Wednesday night quoted a Copenhagen correspondent as asserting that he had been inform ed from an authoritative source that the Karlsruhe had been rent in two by an explosion and that half of the vessel sank immediately and carried down part of the crew. The other half, it was asserted, foated for a time and from it between 150 anr 200 men were rescued by an accompany ing steamer which took them into a German port
 The statement that men from the crew of the Karlsruhe arrived in Ger many on the steamer Rio Negro early in December possibly may be accurate. The Rio Nefro, according to the last reports of her movements in shipping records, sailed from Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil, on date which is not stated and arrived in Swinemund Germany, about December 9th.
