CHECK RAISER ADMITS
SWINDLES OF $50, 900
Also Confesses to Prison Term
Before Draft to Army.

Banks tumbled SO readily when Eric
Il, Verrill. recently an army emergency
lieutenant, raised Government checks
that he could not resist the temptation
In six months he tried the expedient
hfteen times and obtained 100000 Very
penitently he recited II all to Federal
Judge Hand yesterday afternoon. After
an hours strenuous pleading he was re-
manded to jail for another week to
await sentence.
John Il. Joyce. assistant United
States Attorney, told the court that
Verrilrs was the most fragrant case yet
called to the Treasury Departments at
tention. The young man kept a uni
form at New York hotel. He would
don It and prevail upon bank officials
TO y. X. small pay checks. Then he
would raise the checks. He spent $4,000
for automobiles, lost $4,000 gambling,
bought $4,000 worth of postage stamps
Tor collection and gave $4,000 to his
parents. Mr.. Joyce asserted.
Verrill told of being In jail Ave years
ago for another crime. He tried to live
1t down. he said and even was sent to
Hartford retreat for mental treatment
When he was drafted and then COM
missioned he was making good" he
told the court, until a former accom-
plice's threa. 10 expose him forced him
10 pay Tor the mans silence. That was
why he resorted to check raising. he con-
tended. Benedict NJ Holden Of Hart
ford, the ex-army mans counsel, pleaded
for leniency on the ground of psyche
logical irresponslblllty.
But Secret Service Agents Tierney
and Beary, who chased VerriIl six
months before they caught him, and
MT. Joyce denied emphatically that Yer
RMS mental equipment was defective
~ was good enough to fool some Of
the best banking brains in New York"
said Mr.. Joyce. Judge Hand. after
listening to the pleading heeitated, then
decided the case needed at least another
weeks consideration.

Cape or Cdpe-C0at
Says Paris
For Miss 6 to Id

Paris has created some wonderfully clever and
artistic capes and coats to strengthen her decree
We have reproduced some of the models-from
others we have made adaptations.
The circular cape is the "last one" Paris has
made the style practical by making complete coat
as foundation. The illustrated is of that
new, fine material called peach bloom" in brown
or dragon-f1y blue, with double collar of beaver
Slo5 Same style in s-har-finished chevrona
lcoat extends only to waistine in back is but
$3.50. In brown, navy or Copenhagen blue
Another charming fashion is the wrap illus
trated-it looks quite like cape, but really is a
coat. In "frostgow" with vest, collar, cuffs and
facing OF Bolivia cloth in contrasting color 1880
Then, too-circuar coats look so much like
capes that one is surprised to see the sleeves:
coats with short capes, others with little Inverness
capes
A true-to-Pars collection! And prices are

NAVY CLAIMS
PHONE RECORD
Wireless Talk from Jersey
Coast to Brest Harbor,
5000 Miles.

The Navy Department claims the
record for long distance wireless
telephone communication. 1t has
sent messages from the Jersey Coast
to the coast of France, little more
than 5000 miles. This is further than
the distance covered by the wireless
telephone messages exchanged be-
tween Glace Bay and Ireland, which
is 2,150 miles.
The Navy Department established
communication between the wireless
station at New Brunswick, New Jer-
sey and the Steamship George Wash
ington in harbor at Brest, France.
The new record for long distance
communication was announced by
Commander Hooper, of the radio Sec
ton of the Navy Department. From
the time the George Washington sail
ed with President Wilson and party
on board. the wireless telephone sta
ton at New Brunswick opened COM
munication with the wireless telegraph
operator on board and continued to
send messages throughout the period
of the journey. The George Wash
ington was not equipped to make any
reply to the communications, but Com
mander Hooper has been advised by
wireless telegraph since the George
Washington landed that the messages
were heard all the way to Brest.

LEAGUE ISSUE
NOT POLITICAL
Representative Kelly Pleads
For Broad View of World
Question by Americans.

Rise above partizanship and look
at the league of nations from the view
point Of Americanism," was the plea
of Representative Clyde Kelly. OF
Pennsylvania, before several hundred
members of the Presidents own gar
rison, of the Army and Navy Union,
at a meeting in the G. A. r. Hal,
1872 Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
last night.
THE league must not be made
question Of parties. 1t must be an
issue from the heart Of America. We
must cease to be the hermit nation.
We stepped from our isolation to de-
eide the greatest war in the history
of the world. And We must stick
by the world we have saved from the
Hun"
These words came in a parentheti-
cal section of a word-trip to Europe
and the fighting lines by Mr.. Kelly,
who. himself is a member of the
Army and Navy Union.
Harry S. Smith. of the Soldiers
Home. who enlisted with the famed
princess Pats" regiment of Canad-
ians before America entered the fray,
was sent home to convalesce after
Verdun and rejoined the allied forces
with the American army, going across
again, also recalled some of the in
cidents of the war.
Had the American delayed another
single month before entering the con-
flict," he said, 'it would have been
useless.
The Germans woulr have gained
Paris
They would have entered England.
And before we could adequately
prepare they would have invaded the
shores of America, and at our very
doors would have been enacted the
scenes which occurred on the soil of
France.
I've seen soldiers from the Primo
ess Pats crucified on barn doors.
When I told this incident to some
Americans. had it doubted. T
I've seen a German colonel blum
that he was wounded, paralyzed in
the legs. put on a stretcher by un-
armed Red Cross men, and seen him
shoot down four of the stretcher-
bearers and two of the attendants.
