WOMAN FORGtR Fooled
Same One Who Visited Mankato
Said To BE Hiding At
Rochester

Rochester, April 12-Foiled in her
attempt to pass a bogus check, a
young woman is now hiding some
place in Rochester probably in mo-
mentaIy fear of being arrested for
the crime which she tried to commit
She went into ladies' store yes
terday afternoon and examined a
number of waists, finally selecting one
which suited her. In payment, she
presented check bearing the sigma
ture of well known local woman.
The check went TO the cashiers desk
for change. An examination of the
signature was made. 1t did not seem
TO conform with the signature usually
written by the woman whose check it
purpOrted 20 be. Suspicion was arouS-
ed and further investigation was about
TO be made when suddenly il was
discovered that the girl had skunk out
of the store and was not TO be found
anywhere about the premises
The case was turned over 10 the po-
lice who will endeavOr to find the
guilty one and bring her to Justice
Wrong doors must begin TO realize
that the passing of bogus checks is
becoming more and more difficult,
thanks to the constant vigilance of
store proprietors and employees.
This woman is no doubt the same
one who slipped bad checks about
Mankato with considerable deXterity.
1t is suspected that she. visited this
city twice, each time plying her ne
farious trade with neatness and de-
spatch.
In Rochester the girl forged the
name of Mrs. E. II. Beckman to a
check for $55. The name of Ella
| StetZ was signed 10 it. A similar name
was signed to checks passed in Man I
kato. The description of the girl.
given to the police at Rochester,
states that she was about twenty
years old, of medium height, dark
complexion, wore q reddish brown

There are no compulsory entrance

than it cost the city to produce it and
that most of the current is used at a
time when the city's consumption is
be considered that this consumer is
using the surplus current.
The Municipal Light Plant does not
have any modern system of handling
the coal which adds materially to the
cost of the producing current and the
city will also install modern equip
ment for this purpose.
The report of the engineers show
that the plant will earn about $4,000
in 1918 or within $4,000 Of what the
plant earned in 1917 taking into con-
sideration the increases in coal, la
Dor and other items which make up
the cost of operation.
At the present time the city of
Richmond has tho reputation Of the
lowest electric light rates in the
state. The accountant for the com
mission pointed out that the discount
rates were also the highest known

the city is earning IA per cent. which
is almost double what the commission
would permit a private company to
earn, but if the value Of the plant is
100000 the earnings would be about
9 per cent, which would still permit
reduction in present rates. The con.
sumers who use current at a time
when the city's consumption is the
smallest are entitled to low rate,
according to the. engineers, but the
power consumers who use the bulk OF
current at the time the city neds the
current for light, should be charged a
much higher rate. This would penal.
ize the consumer who forces the city
to buy more equipment. Under the
present rates the small consumer is
bearing the burden Of the cost Of the

Three separate and individual re-
ports were made at the meeting last
night and all Of the reports agreed on
the recommendations which were
adopted by the joint session. The re,
ports were made by Chas H. Hurd, OF
Indianapolis, the consulting engineer
appointed by the city, the commercial
club committee and the accounting en-.
gineers of the Public Service Com.
| mission.
The joint session recommended that
Mr.. Hurd or some ether responsible
consulting engineer be employed by
the city to make a report on just what
equipment will be necessary to reha-
bilitate the plant and also to make
a new schedule of rates to be submit
ted to the state commission.
1t is estimated that the total ex-
pense of rebuilding the plant will be
between 100000 and 100000, and
that If the city cannot at this time
make the necessary appropriation for
this equipment that the plans be de-
termined upon and then each year an
appropriation be made toward the
completion of the plan adopted.
