Harry Martin, Paroled Convict. Pass
es Checks in Five Local
Stores,
CAUGHT AT WORK IN MOLINE
Tses 19.Year.0ld Girl to Cash Worth
less Paper-They are Picked
Up On Suspicion.

Harry Martin, alias Harry Simpson,
a paroled convict, was taken in Gus
toby by Moline police Saturday even
ing on a charge Of cashing bogus
checks. With Martin at the time of
his arrest was a 19-year-old girl
whose name is given an Anna Doe.
The girl appears to have been the
victim Of others and because of her
youth her real name is withheld. She
will probably be returned to her home
in another Illinois city.
Martin was sent to the peniten-
tary at Chester, H., in January,
1914. having been convicted on d
charge of burglary in the Adams
county court He served II months
and was then released on parole.
He had been in Rock Island for
some time and roomed at the same
place where the girl lived. She had
been brought to Moline by other peo-
pie and when they deserted her here,
she turned to Martin for help. He
used her to cash the fraudulent
checks.
Local Store Victim.
Four or five business houses in this
locality, among them the NJ. & X.
store, we're yictimized by the pair.
IN,
Early Saturday evening the girl
cashed a check at Green's grocery on
Fifteenth street. From there she
went 10 Harry Walther's grocery in
the Skinner annex. where she at
tempted TO cash a check for $3.50.
The clerk grew suspicious, however.
and told her she should take it TO a
bank. She left the store, turned
north TO Third avenue and met Mar
tin. The clerk had followed and a
moment later he met Patrolman Gal
lagher, whom he told of his suspic-
ions. Gallagher arrested them ali
suspicion and took them to the po-
lice station. While the sergeant was
questioning them another patrol
man came in with news that a bogus
check had been cashed at Green's
grocery. He had the description OF
the woman.
This morning. after being ques-
toned by Moline police and Detective
Cox, Rock Island, Martin admitted
having cashed several bad checks in
Rock Island. He denied having beer
responsible for any of those cashed
recently in East Moline and Geneseo
however.
Martins case was continued for
one week by Justice T. NJ. Wheeloch
this morning. 1t is likely that he vii.
be sent back to Chester TO finish serv-
ing his term.

WAR ON PUBLIC NUISANCES
Smoke, Poles and Wires, and Bill
boards as Among Them.

From it's very institution. the Amer.
ican Civic association has devoted it.
self to the protection OF the public
against three great nuisances-smoke,
poles and wires and billboards. At the
annual convention Of the association
in Washington one of the important
subjects discussed was billboards,
with principal address, entitled "The
Passing of the Signboard," by Jesse
Lee Bennett OF Baltimore, in which he
recounted the steps that had been
taken for the legal control of the bill
board In all parts of the United
States.
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard, Mr.. Bennett said The
feeling against the signboard has be-
come nationwide, and in the last few
years the agitation of civic organiza-
tion has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against 1t so
widespread that from coast to coast,
and in almost every state and city.
movements seeking the abolition or
regulation of these unnecessary and
dishguring objects.
There has been much agitation, and
from it there has been distilled one
thing-the recognition of the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal of the signs.
The signboard has been found to be in
extricably intertwined with two Ques-
tons of even greater importance-the
awakening of civic sentiment and the
recognition by legislators and judges
Of the validity of arguments based
upon esthetic considerations"
Commenting on what ought to be
the attitude of the law and the courts
toward the billboard he added:
1T would take our psychologist but
a few minutes to show that it is not
a question of ear or nose or eye, but a
question of the brain and of the very
consciousness that is life itself. No
law should permit any man to intrude
or force himself or his business into
another mans consciousness to the
extent that outdoor advertising has
come to permit, an intrusion immedi-
ately increased by the fact that 1t is
impossible to avoid seeing sign
boards"
