BThe watchdog of the credit |en," Charles D. West, manager \ the investigation and prosecu- Sn department of the National
 6sociation of Credit M'err, told
 embers of the Philadelphia asso-
 ation at the Bellevue-Stratford ' pitfalls awaiting the unwary in
 siness.
 "The best way to prevent at-
 mpts at dishonesty on the part
 the merchant" i" he said, lis to
 hke 3 rigid investigation of the
 stomer when he opens an &C., Iunt. If the record is clean, the Nances are that you will not have ' call on our department" MT. West told of the elaborate lethod by which records are kept commercial crooks. Several les are maintained. One classes Be suspects according to nation ities, and another according to Recialities.
 \ He explained a scheme for .aud, by which the criminally in-' fned merely rent a small office, nd use stationery printed with 1e name of an established firm order goods from wholesalers { jobbers and have them consign- ! to the dummy office. The mer- Randise disappears, so does the merchant" One man, caught a bort time ago in New York, had lst completed his fifth fraud. hat man is now a member of the Atlanta colony of criminals" A Philadelphianfi was praised by fr. West for untiring efforts in eveloping the investigation bur au.
 MT. West appealed to the mem- ars at the meeting to give cases which violation of the law was aspected to his department for lvestigation. He told how well crooks were protected y clever but disreputable lawyers 'ho make a speciality in aiding 'audulent bankrupts. There is a ig list of these shysters in one the reference files kept by him he speaker laid stress on the pint that his department was not sed to intimidate Legitimate ankrupts.
 The speaker suggested that then a person applied through the lails for credit and sent. with the pplication, financial statement he credit man retain both the tatement and the envelope.

 RESIGNATION SOON.

At the regular semimonthly meet ing of the common council last night, Councilman George Johnson inform ed Mayor Wilbur and the other mem bers that he would present his resig- nation within a few days, probably not being on hand for the next meet ing. It is understood that MT. John son, who recently closed the Igloo restaurant, will go to Dawson in the near future.
 The only matter of special business prot up by the council last evening was the raising of the walks along upper Front street and Cushman street between First and Second avenues to the established grade as decided upon by the city several months ago. Notice was recently giv en the property owners to make the necessary changes to the sidewalks abutting on these streets by July IS, last. None of these complied with the instructions.

FORD FILMS TO
 BE SHOWN HERE

 CATIDNAL SERVICE.

Fairbanksans are to be given an opportunity 10 see some of the Ford Educational films during the coming winter and probably in the near future, a shipment of these were received by the church on one of the last steamers according to Rev W. S Marble of the Presbyterian church.
 Sometime ago Mir Marble, who knew of the educational film ser vice run by the Ford corporation in Detroit. in connection with it's mo- tor industry, wrote MT. Ford asking if some of them could not be se- cured in connection with the church work here The first he heard from the letter was the notification that the shipment had arrived. He went down prepared to find a big trans portation bill against them, and dis covered that not only had the films been donated, but the Ford corpora ion had prepaid the freight to Fair banks Announcements will be made later regarding the exhibition of the films.

BRIVC THE CASH
 SAY NENANAITES
NENANAITES PREPARED TO GOV FER ALL FAIRBANKS BETS
 SAYS HOEY

If Fairbanks fans are confident that the local team can bring home the bacon from Nenana in the approach ing series, the Nenana fans are equal ly confident of their town teams abil- ity to cop the series. In fact the Ne nanites seem to be a little afraid that they won't be able to get ac- tion.
 Yesterday Manager Charley Beam, of the local club, received the follow ing wire from Andy Hoey, of the Terminal Cigar Store at Nenana:
 "Nenana, Alaska, July 21. "Chas. Beam, Fairbanks
 Bring all your loose silver. Every one paid off here now. We will GOV CT all you bring that we win the series.
 ANDY HOEY."
 When the local fans were wised up to the message, the first signs of life in sportdom were shown. To them it reads like a fairy tale, and for fear that there might be some mistake, or shortage of coin on the Nenana market, they got MT. Beam to send Andy standby signal. In fact so much ready money was in sight that the Fairbanks manager wired MT Hoey as follows:
 We only use silver to pay for pool games. Bringing gold to cover Ne mana bets Dig deep in your old socks"
 Some of the boys were in favor of wiring Nenana to set aside any thing above a cool thousand dollars for the series, but it was finally de cided to see if the lower river fans were really anxious and then pro duce the wherewithal.
 Down at Beams the fans are sign ing up a list to buy, or charter a boat big enough to take everyone who wants to go. If the deal does thru it won't cost anyone more than ten iron men, and the WOmenfOlks will only have to write their Mary James" on the list of the clubs charter
