cable will be commenced this summer.
The submarii . telephone from Cuba
to Key West according to Colonel
Behn. is but the first leg of cable
telephone system which in time will
connect all of Greater Antilles.
The development of the telephone
during the war has made It possible for
us to plan now for SIbmarine tele-
phone cable system which three years
ago was not dreamed Of said Colonel
Behn. THE first leg or the system
from Key West to Havana in itself
will be the longest submarine tele-
phone system in the world. At present
the submarine telephone across the
English Channel is the longest.

Young Man Known as John hea'y
Pleads Guilty to Charge.

Special to Times Republican.
Reinbeck, June cit was-the same
old story of considering himself so
Smooth" that he woula not get caught
that got a young man known as John
Healy into serious trouble here.
Healy reached Reinbeck few nights
ago and at once started out to make
some-"easy money" He laid the foun-
dation for the successful passing of
forged checks. by representing himself
over the telephone. 1t is claimed. as
Agent George Dukes, OF the Chicago
Great Western. The man supposed TO
be Dukes called up various merchants,
saying that he was sending a young
man around to buy different things.
represented to suit the dealer WITH
whom he was talking. and adding fur
ther that the young mans pay check
on the Great Western had not YET
reached him, and that Dukes was nd
vancing money on his personal check.
With this foundation laid Healy
started out to make his purchases. He
bought at the Claussen & Tschlrgi
clothing store a new suit anc other
wearing apparel amounting to s33. and
s2s.50. The rest of the amount was
charged on the books.
At the Meyers-Jacobson drug store
Healy made a few small purchases and
received change. as the balance OF n
check for $3.50. Between IS and 81
worth Of goods were purchased at the
Ehlers Mercantile Company store. and
a check for $3.50 was presented. on
which the young man realized a Eoodly
sum in change. Here. however, the
manager OF the store became suspicious
from the fact that he had understood
the supposed Dukes over the phone
that the young mans purchases were
to be charged TO Dukes acGC!nt rather
than to be paid for by Check. This
suspicion led to Healy's arrest. He was
taken to Grundy Center and placed In
Jail. and all of the goods secured were
turned back to their owners.
Word from Grundy Center says that
Healy entered plea OF guilty was
bound over to the district court. and
will be sentenced by Judge Boies OF
July 3. ,.E.
When arrested Healy was found to
be packing a loaded revolver,
