YOUTH FORCES
THREE CHECKS
Howard Cook Charged With
Defrauding Businessmen
by Fraudulent Paper

Grecncastle, Pa, April Slow
ard Cook, aged Is years, was ar
rested here on Saturday evening and
given hearing before Squire j. r.
Metcalfe. and later taken to the
county Jail at Chambersburg because
he could not furnish bail for forging
checks. Young Cook had been work
ing for Contractor Jacob Shank,
and he forged three checks on Mr.
Shank, and raised one that he had
given him for Sc to SIG.
Three Greencastle merchants
cashed the forged checks, John
Phillippy, j. Lesher & Son, and the
late Albert Snyder. Mr.. Snyder died
two weeks ago and the night before
his death Cook went into his shoe
store. and bought pair of shoes
for 81. He gave a check for SIS
in payment that had apparently geen
issued by Shank, and received in
cash $11.
The fact that he was working for
Mr.. Shank was considered evidence
enough that the checks were good,
and Cook could have probably gone
on writing checks to suit his con-
venience if the bank at which Mr..
Shank deals had not discovered the
forged signature.

NEWS OF STEELTON
COUNCIL DOES
LITTLE BUSINESS
Residents of Outlying Districts
Want Lights; Solicitor
TO Question

Very little business of importance
was brought before the meeting OF
the borough council last evening. A
request from residents of outlying
sections of the borough for light and
sewer facilities brought forth a mo-
ton from Councilman Reider that
the borough solicitor be asked to
find some means of supplying the
demand without the borough meet
ing the great initial expense. A sim
liar request was made for gas and
the solicitor was asked to determine
whether the gas company could be
compelled to furnish gas to such dis
tricts in which but few houses are
now built.
A letter was received from the
Philadelphia and Reading railway
notifying council provision had been
made for continuous service OF
watchmen at the Franklin, Cone
stoga and Trewick crossings, as re-
quested by council at former meet
ing.
Police reports showed great re-
duCtion in fines. the fines for the
past month having amounted to
only $41.90. The police regulations
calling for a license fee of $50 per
year for every trolley car operated
over the borough streets, were re-
ported as becoming effective April 1.

found who has been supporting, first
one husband, then another, at wash
ing for twenty eight years. Both
men fathered big families and this
hard-working woman was too proud
to ask for help until death threat
ened her. The last husband had
succumbed to "flu" and she was left
penniless, in debt, with children not
old enough to work.
1t is the general opinion of the
Harrisburg Mothers Assistance
Fund that it is accomplishing eX-
aCtly what was intended, namely,
making a mother a monthly allow
ance which enables her and her
children to live in decent and self
respecting way; by monthly visits to
the family and establishing friendly
relations with them; advising and
instructing the mothers as to the
wise expenditure of their money,
helping the mother by kindly hints
in regard to nutritious, wholesome
diet for the children; by looking
carefully after the health of the
mother and children, seeing that
eyes, teeth and general health have
proper professional care receiving
monthly reports of all school chill
dren and cooperating with the
teachers.

The t.n.rry crossing at the lower

ing was the scene of what might
have been a serious accident. AS it
was Motorman w. Fl. Gibbs was

The locomotive was said to have
been running very slowly. When the
trolley car came within so or more
feet of the crossing, it's speed was

car was not stopped entirely until
it had run into the side of the loco
motive. The front of the trolley
was entirely ripped Off Why the
car was not stopped is not known.

Investigations Made
The most careful Investigation is
made when a case is suggested and
must be turned into the Bureau of
Education for o. X. The recipient
must give her account day by day,
and by way of illustration Miss
Hauck gave few items of the fam
lily of eight just mentioned. They
show for March milk, 10c; mid
dlings, $3.50; sugar, SIC; electric
light, $50. The living bill for
March 20 was: Milk. 10c; eggs, 35c;
polish, 15c; baby nipple, &c; COAL
$6.65; stockings. csc.
The family of eight children had
to spend exactly $S9.S2 to live
through the month of March, but
they only had $3.50 to pay the bill
So here stepped in the Mothers As
sistance Fund and made the ends
meet. 1t is interesting to note that
Eva, oldest girl in this family, earns
40 for one weeks work; John and
Ben, brothers. earn, respectively, Sc
and $3.50 a week. For children un-
der 16 years of age the association
is permitted to give $12 a month
for the next child sS and the next
Sc.
Mrs. John p. Lehr, who is in
charge at her home town, Lykens,
has had the rush of this whole Dau-
phin district, taking care of thirty
seven cases in the last few weeks
and using over $4,000 in the aid
which was so timely. "The mines
only work three days a week." she
explained land factories are shut
ting down. Every person we helped
was worthy, with many children,
who craved to stay under their
mothers care. The persons who ac-
cept tgenerally plead that only the
direst need could compel them to
accept this help, and we try to apply
1t as gently as possible so as not to
offend. But it is truly saving hun
dreds of homes from disntegration
and perhaps destruction"
Chance For Education
The children benefited by this aid
are expected to go to school, but, If
absolutely necessary for the support
of the home. a child at IA may be
excused, providing the sixth grade
has been passed. The teachers
make out accurate reports on each
of these and the Fund can thus keep
track of how its patrons are re-
| fo tho aid
Mrs. Lyman Gilbert emphasized
the fine results that are coming
from this activity in the line of
Americanization. Many foreign
people are being benefited under
this aid and, with the schools help
ing, the foreigners begin to respond
to American methods very speedily.
Some of the cases reached are al
most incredible. One woman was

LONDON STIRRED
BY CRIME WAVE
YET UNCHECKED
Holdups, Murders and Rob-
berries Claim Best Skill of
Scotland Yard

London, April S.-Spectacular hold
ing jewelry robberies are claiming
the best skill of Scotland Yard and
holding the attention of the London
public. Not for many years if indeed
ever-have the authorities been call
ed upon to cope with such a wave of
crime as that which has swept the
metropolis since the beginning of the
year. While some arrests nave been
made and some men punished, tie
police are hard put to keep pace with
the criminals.
So frequent have robberies become
that London bankers have taken
measures to meet possible raids on
their cash counters, proceeding
hitherto unknown in the city. All
cashiers have been instructed to
keep cash out of sight Instead CT dis
playing it on bank counters. The
police in the neighborhood of i'm
portant banking houses have leen
ordered to be especially vigilaut.
particularly at the lunch hour.
beginning of Crime
The prevalence of crime was first
called to the attention of the au-
thorities when the newspapers made
sensation out of the sudden death
of Billie Carlton, Il favorite actress,
who was found dead in her apart
ment the morning after the famous
liberty ball several months ago. 1t
developed that she had diei from an
over dose of a drug. An investiga-
tiur showed that the practice OF drug
taking was increasing in the city
and that opium parties" were not
uncommon.
Next the city was startled by the
arrest of Lieut.. Col. Norman c. Ruth
erford, of the army medical corps,
Miles c. Seton. also of the medical
corps. at the house of the majors
cousin, Sir Malcom Seton in Holland
Park. The hearing of this case in
court has not been concluded.
Murders of less Importance follow
ed, each having some unusual fea-
ture. The city was again aroused a
rev weeks ago by the publish ed
statement that Mai. II. l.. CLANCY. of
the Royal Air Force, had tried to kill
ms aged mother at Talgarth Man
slons, and had then killed himself.
MRS. Chaney was severely wounded.
put hopes are entertained for her re-

no light on the tragedy so far as the
public was concerned. Major Chaney

VALUABLE TIMBER BURNED

Chambersburg. Pa, April s.
A tract of the State forest land lying
between Pondbank and the Mt. Cy-
donia sandbank was almost COM
pletely burned over and the majority
of the trees destroyed by a fire
which was discovered by a ranger
about G o'clock Sunday evening. Sew
eral years ago this tract had been
planted in European larch and white
pine and trees of like nature and
great care had been taken of the
trees to promote their health and
rapid growth. The fire was detected
from one of the towers and the
rangers from both the Caledonia and
Mont Alto districts were summoned.
IT required the fighters about an
hour TO extinguish the flames.
