Capt. roster is checking up on the Scottish Rite certificate, to locate Robert Gull len Johnston, said to live just across the line from Chesaw. When Forbes escaped from the Okanogan county jail, October IA, 1919, he was accom- panied by Jim Turner, who was held for the federal authorities under the Mann act The two were in Canada several weeks after Forbes departure for the Dominion. Turner was ar rested at Greenwood and is being re- turned to Okanogan for trial.
 When arrested in Okan0gan Forbes was, in addition to other shortcomings, suspected of being a German spy. He speaks with a slight German accent but from the time he left Juneau, Alaska, and during the time he was on the steamer Admiral Watson, he af- fected a Scotch and English accent. He is about A years old, of medium height and weight, sallow complex ion, and said to be a confirmed drug addict
 The mans true name is not known to the secret service, but it is believed he is of German descent, although at this time there is no evidence at hand to show any connection with the Ger man government, Captain Foster says He is described as a good dresser, wears rimless glasses with gold ear chain, and silk shirts.
 Forbes may be tried in Alaska on three counts-stealing a treasury check, obtaining money under false pretenses, and forgery, according to | the secret service head in Seattle l Hes faces Imprisonment for fifteen l years and $5,0O0 fine as maximum pun if convicted.

His Arrival in Seattle

About that time Forbes left Alaska and headed for Seattle, according to advices received here. He was ex- pected to arrive here February 27, but did not arrive until February 23, com ing in on the steamer Admiral Watson.
 Two operatives of the Seattle secret service department, to whom is due credit for the final arrest of the forger, found where the fugitive had hired an automobile OF February 28 and driven to Portland. At Portland he dismissed his car, hired another and drove to Hood River, where he took train He left Seattle for Portland at about o'clock in the morning of February zS, and reached Hood River about mid night the same day.
 At Hood River he purchased a ticket to Provost, Utah, and W. H. Daven- port, the Salt Lake City agent, was wired and put on the trail But Forbes evidently did not intend to step off train into the arms of waiting of fcers, Captain Forbes says. En route his baggage was rechecked to Thomp- son, Utah, and he arrived there with out molestation. His next move was to plunge into the Utah desert, and Agent Davenport wired to Seattle, T am going hunting him into the desert"

enport wired Captain Foster that he had his man and that he had con fessed to the forgeries in Alaska. The arrest was made at Hite, Utah, which is the center of a mining and oil dis trict. Forbes evidently intended tC work off another check on the mining men there, Captain Foster believ os When arrested he had in his posses sion United States treasury check No 90, the last of the series he is said to have stolen in Alaska, made out for $2,900, and signed with the name of Arthur B. Nobles.' He said he had spoiled two of the checks. One of the checks, for $2,OOO he is said to have cashed at Cordova, according to in formation received here.
 At Codova, after cashing his trav- elers' checks, Forbes purchased a dia- mond ring with a 1A-carat stone, and flashing the ring, his roll and the Scottish Rite certificate, put up a front" among the passengers on the Admiral Watson as a successful min ing man, the operatives reported.
 Served Term at LeavenWorth
 The records of the secret service show a long list of Forbes offenses, covering a period of seven years. His speciality is said to have been theft and forging of postal money orders, and in a list of half a dozen indict- ments he escaped with only one con- viction and prison term On February IS, 1914, he was sentenced to five years in the Illinois state penitentiary at Joliet, after arrest and trial in Chi cago for forging and passing postal money orders stolen from Station 53, San Francisco, in January, 1914 He was later transferred to the United States penitentiary at LeavenWorth, Kan, and served his term. There is no record of his activities after his release until he was arrested at Oka- hogan for forgery.
 Forbes was indicted at San Fran cisco under the name of Karl c. Fisher on January 27, 1914 for stealing blank money orders from Station 53 on Jan. 5, 1914. On November 27, 1914, he was indicted at Newark, N. J., under the name of Robert B. HanIey for stealing money order blanks from the postoff1ce at Belle Mead, N. J., August 21, 1913. On May 22, 1916, he was inS dicted under the name of J. H.

Picks Lock of County Jail

Forbes was picked up at Okanogan, Wash, last fall, and was being held for forgery. He was also wanted by the government for various alleged thefts and forgeries of postal money orders, but picked the lock of the county jail and escaped. According to information from Sheriff Harry E. Stark of Okanogan, he went up into Canada, and from there went to Ju- neau, Alaska. In Canada, it is said he stole a Scottish Rite Masonic cer- tif1cate bearing the name of Robert Cullen JohnstonS' which name he &used in his operations in Alaska.
 On March il Captain Foster was mo- tif1ed from Washington of Forbes latest exploit at Juneau, and immedi- ately offered the services of his de- partment to the United States district attorney at Juneau.
 Forbes is alleged to have stolen United States treasury checks num- D6red rom 94b to 95U inclusive from the office of John P. Walker, super visor of surveys at Juneau, to have forged check No. 947, for $2,0OO, signing the name, it is said, of Robert Cullen Johnston" and cashed the paper at bank at Cordova. He is said to have used the Johnson Scottish Rite certificate for identification He inn mediately converted the sum into tray eIers checks, Captain Foster says. At Cordova he wrote a check for $135, which was cashed by A. J. Adams of that place, upon Forbest' representa- tion that he had money in the Nelson x State Bank at Okanogan, Wash, it is reported.

Under glaring headlines the Seattle POst-Intelligencer of March 29 gives prominence to the capture of Dr. Robert E. Forbess alias Johnstone, alias, Fisher, etc, who some weeks ago created a stir in Cordova by passing forged government checks for considerable sums. The article is as follows:
 After an exciting chase of 2,000 miles from Juneau, Alaska, to the des- "erts of Utah, with United States se- cret service operatives hanging dog gedly to his twisting and doubling trail, Dr. Robert E. Forbes, nationally know forger with a dozen aliases, was again brought to halt in his career of crime by his arrest last Wednesday at Hite, Utah, by W. H. Davenport, secret service agent at Salt Lake City who acted on information furnished by operatives under Captain Thomas B. Foster of the United States secret service in Seattle.

DIR. R A. JENKINS.

It is the greatest fortune to live
Under the immediate influence of a
tTpically big man. one of the world
leaders in the life and action, and
such is our fortune here in Kansas
City whether We stop to take notice
nj it or not. Most people look afar
for the beauties of life and nature,
pending time and money for enjoy
ment of that which is in most cases
right at our doors. Distance lends
enChantmeut to the view" simply be,
cause we look into the distance,
usually backward, for the men and
women who have eXemplified the
highest ideals of life.
In DR.. Burris A. jenkins we have
right here n of the most admirable
types of real useful, dilligent. chris
tan manhood. One must wonder
how he does all his work and does
1t so well. One must wonder how
ia the midst Of so much social dis
balance and poise-how he can set
tie down and di]sentangling himself
from his environments be so fair
minded and withal so brave in the
things which have been Just and
right ever since the creation of the
world.
Dr.. Jenkins speaks out against the
abuses Of prejudice against race not
as an especial advocate or partisan Of
any abused people but as a cham
piou Of human deserts and human
rights in general. With him the Wis
ION is as broad as the universe and
the principle as in~disputable as life
itself. Nothing small like partisan
bias, religious amt or social pretense
can bind him. He simply breaks the
tickle cords and is free in his great
ness.
