Bogus Check Artist
Works Local Papers

The bogus check artist hit Greene
vile one day last week and touched
up the Greeneville newspapers for
small amounts. Doubtless others were
caught by the artist, who worked a
fairly slick plan.
The man gave his name as DR.. B.
H. Hinton, placed small adverts-
ment in the want column" of The
Daily Sun, which amounted to only
a small sum, at the same time sub
scribing for the paper six months.
In payment he rendered check he
had already made out, receiving the
difference in cash. The same scheme
was worked at the other two news
paper Offices here, DR.. Hinton ex-
pressing great surprise at all the Of
fees that the charges were not more
but in each case he presented
checks in excess of the amount and
received the difference in cash. Cop
les of the paper mailed to his address
815 10th street, Knoxville, Tenn,
were undelivered, the postmaster at
Knoxville notifying us that there was
no such address. The checks all came
back from the Holston National Bank,
on which they were drawn, marked
mo account here" The supposed DR..
Hinton claimed to have farm near
Knoxville that he desired to exchange
for property in this county. He was
gentleman of good appearance, APP
parently fifty years of age, neatly
dressed and slightly gray. He was
professional crook no doubt, and
will eventually land where he be-
longs, for man that would wilfully
defraud or beat a country editor de-
serves the severest punishment that
could be melted out to him.

Who Is To Blame?

We are informed that certain re-
strictions have been placed upon our
morinvg picture theatres. Certain
pictures have been barred from the
screen here. This may be all right
and it may be wrong-we are not IN
position to discuss this question in
telligently as the writer is not a pat
ron of the movie. AS we understand
| it, all pictures are censored before re-
leasing to the public. If the censor
has failed to no his duty then it seems
that the proper thing to do would be
to strike just a little higher up and
by so doing much more good could be
accomplished. We believe we can
say thruthfully that the management
of the local movie houses would not
allow a picture to be shown here that
was not of the right character. The
local houses receive the same service
we are informed as other towns in
this section-Knoxville MorristoWn,
Johnson City and Bristol. If the pic
lures that have been shown here have
not been good for the people of
Greeneville certainly they have not
been just the thing for the people of
our neighboring towns. If the pat
rons of the theatres in other cities
have failed to see anything indecent
in the service they have received, it
would seem to us that Greenevillt
citizens have little room for com
plant.
The local moving picture theatres
have been shown in any town the
size of Greeneville. Everything be
ing taken into consideration the man
agement of our local theatres has
been free from criticism. If the com
plant being raised just now over the
censoring of certain pictures that
have been shown here for some time
past is just and proper our people
should submit to it, Just who should
serve as a committee to pass upor
these matters is another question. lr
justice to the people who have thous.
ands of dollars invested here in the
aires and equipment we believe that q
committee composed of disinterestec
parties should be selected and given
proper authority to pass upon pictures
of unreasonable character. 1t is
impossible for the manager of the
theatre to tell just what a picture is
going to be until it is thrown upor
the screen. He accepts it upon rec
concentrations from other cities.

that a serious automobile accident
was narrowly averted at the Mason

SPREADS TO PERU

LIMA, Peru, Jan. 13-(By the Asso- ciated Press. "A general strike in volving between 10000 and 3O.0O0 men was called in Lima and CallaO today. Several thousand men also struck at the MorOcocha copper mines of the Cerro de Pasco company.
 The strike at Lima and Callao waS called in sympathy with 2000 striking cotton mill workers who are out de- manding an eight hour day and a 50 per cent increase in wages. All the stores, offices and factories in bot.i cities are closed and the interurban services have been suspended. Food stuffs are virtually unobtainable. Minor clashes have taken place be- tween n1obs and troops and a number of the strikers have been wounded.
 The government apparently is in full control of the situation. Troops are stationed at all important points. Traffic on the central railway thus far has not been interrupted.
 At Morococha the strikers are as- suming a belligerent attitude. Already they have attacked the barracks of the troops. They were driven off and left a number of wounded behind. The mob then attacked the compressor building, doing considerable property damage.
 Strong forces of troops are on their way to Morococha.

 Omsk Is Urging America to Control Trans-Siberia Read

OMSK, Russia, Friday, Jan 1O.- (By the Associated Press. )-After a trip of virtually 5000 miles from Vladivostok the correspondent of the Associated Press arrived here today. Twenty-three days in unheated cars were spent in making the journey. The inner windows of the third class sleeping car in which the correspond ent had quarters had been broken be- fore the train departed from Vladivo- stok and several of the outer windows broke during the trip. These were boarded up, but this did not succeed in keeping out the Siberian blasts en- countered, the temperature at some times being 45 degrees below zero.
 West of Irkutsk the trans-Siberian railway has been interrupted. but east of that place it is seriously dis organized. Russian opinion is favor able to the management of the rail way by John F. Stevens, head of the American railway commission to Rus sia. provided the Russians are given control. They seem impatient over the delay in the negotiations and are insisting that MT. Stevens be given power enough to proceed with his work and save the railroad before it is too late.
 Favor intervention.
 Opinion expressed by people along the route was favorable to allied in tervention against the bolsheviki, but there were some bitter attacks made upon what was declared Co be pro crastination. The people said that they wanted the United States to de- clare it's policy or to clear out of the country. Apart from intervention against the bolsheviki the people seemed to be of the unanimous opinion that the United States should guard the trans-Siberian railroad in order to insure an eventual inland route from Vladivostok to Omsk.
 Considerable fear IVES expressed that bolshevik bands might cut the railroad. isolate Omsk and leave Si- beria helpless and starving.
 Evidence of poverty and general distress was witnessed at the ma jority of the stations passed. There was little food for sale. The people seemed dOwncast and in despair. The conviction was expressed by some that the Americans, who helped Flu rope 10 defeat the Germans. would not desert the Russians in their strug gle against the terrorists. There was much evidence Of sympathy with bol- shevik principles. but it was coupled with complete repudiation of bOlshe vik terrorism.

The bill now goes to the senate, where it's early passage is planned.
 Party lines were effaced in the house debate and vote. and despite energetic demands by opponents of the bill for more specific information regarding the proposed expenditures and criticism of the president. Her bert C. Hoover and Vance Mccormick. chairman of the war trade board. a special rule reported by the rules com mittee was adopted and afterward the bill was passed 240 to 73.
 Permits Armenian Relief
 The only amendment accepted was one by Representative Sherley. in charge of the measure, which permits use of part of the fund for relief in countries contiguous to Europe This would make it possible to aid the Ar menians and other suffering peoples in the Near East.
 President Wilson's urgent appear that the appropriation be authorized to aid the cOnsummatiOn of peace. was sent to Senator Martin and Represen- tative Sherley, chairman of the con gressiOnal appropriations committees, and was read on the floor of the house by NIT. Sherley. It was supplemented by report to the state department from Henry D. White, republican mem Der of the American peace delegation. Both messages said the problem of food to the distressed peo- pies recently liberated from the rule of the central powers was one of para mount importance in obtaining a re- turn to normal conditions.
 Food relief is now the key to the whole European situation and to the solution of peace" Mir. Wilson said "BOlshevism is steadily spreading westward. It cannot be stopped by force, but it can be stopped by food"
 The president added that unless the tide of anarchism" is stemmed. it may not be possible to find definite governments with which to conclude peace.
 "Bolshevism thrives only on starva- ton and disorder" declared Mir. White, who said it was impossible to the peace conference under proper auspices without previous ade- luate provisions to cope with the food situation.

HUNT ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT IN COURT
(Review Phoenix Bureau

PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 13.-Suing for S4529, alleged to be due him under the provisions Of the new classifica- ton salary law, G. w. P. Hunt today instituted mandamus proceedings against State Auditor Jesse Boyce to recover this amount. The case will come up before Judge Stanford in the superior court January 24.
 Almost the last official act of the former executive was the approval of warrants for this amount. The action was prompted by decision in the supreme court with reference to that portion of the law affecting the sal : ries of county officials
 The auditor refused to issue the necessary warrant, maintaining that the decision was in no way applicable to the holders of state offices. A case which would settle this question is now pending in the supreme court
