Preacher Charged
With Forgery

Withdrawal of church finances re-
sultingin charge of forgery resulted
in the arrest of c. w. Niles, register
ing as a minister of the gospel in the
African M. Z. Church at his home, 682
West Fifth street, by Cincinnati pa
trolmen, accompanied by Officers Law
and Walker of the Covington police
force.
The preachers arrest was the result
of the swearing out of a warrant yes
terday in Coyington by Matte Hill
of 2031 Center street, Covington. The
cause of Mrs. Hills charge was that
two checks had been drawn upon the
Market National Bank, one for $9.40
and the other for $3.50 from the funds
of the Free Will African M. E. church,
Covington, to which both the names
of herself and that of Niles were at
tached, she claiming that Niles wrote
her signature.
When taken into custory Niles de-
clared that it was quite true that he
had written the woman's name to the
check, but declared that it was with
her approval and knowledge, though
he had failed to get the usual mark of
acquiescence. Moreover, Niles declared
he had heard that trouble was brewing
over the affair and that he had de-
posted the SIS withdrawn back in the
bank and to the credit of the church.
The Covington magistrate before
whom Niles was taken for his appli-
alton for bond, fixed the bail at 81 900.
He made no attempt to evade extra
dition.

"Who Said So?" a new song by

of Bert Peters, music arranger, des-
tined to have good following. Will
liams, who is a young colored man, is
already known as song writer. The
song will be published by Shapiro,
Bernstein & Co., music publishers.
Somehow the colored race has a
mystic something in its temperament
that hits on to catchy titles" said Mr..
Peters, "and colored people have ira.
ditions coming away back from some
where that finds expression in their
songs. They produce some really fine
things"
