James L. Donavan. the smooth
| check forSer whom the Pueblo sher-
iff's office expected TO hale into the
district court for frauds committed in
this city to the tune of more than
s4oo, isn't coming here for quite
while for he has Just been signed up
| for a five years engagement in the
Wisconsin penitenttary
When after five years the warden
of that states institution opens the
gate for him. It will be a question
whether Pueblo. Denver. Akron,
Ohio. or Springfield. Mass. can lay
hands on him first
Wisconsin evidently plays ball
rapidly in the criminal game, for 1t
was but ten days ago that Deputy
Sheriff Fiscus was packing his grip
to go after Donavan, when a wire
from the police department of MIL
waukee told Fiscus not to come as
they thought they could stick
Donavan there. And now Donsvan is
starting a five years term for an at
tempt to pull off the sanie game he
worked so SUCCESSFULLY in Pueblo.
When asked by tho Judge what he
had TO say why sentence should not
be pronounced against him. the cul-
prit said:
Nothing at all; never saueal
when l get caught"
Asked how long he had been carry
ing on his peculiar line OF forgeries.
he replied. since 1907"
Surely" said the court, "a man
as smart as you could earn an honest
living"
We'll. you tell me an easier way"
was the response.
The court then asked Donavan II
he would promise to lead an honest
life II given a reasonable term.
NO. l never make promises" was
the reply.
The judge said nothing more except
that the prisoner should be imprison-
ed at hard labor for a period OF five
years.
All this information came tc
Deputy Sheriff Fiscus in letter from
the Pinkerton agency, and somethinT
/ of the mans history and mode of do
ing business was enclosed. The letter
was turned over to Harlan j. Smith
cashier of the First National Bank
which institution cashed rount
| dozen OF Donavan. forged checks.
! Donsvan's modus operandi here
which is said TO be the same he used
/ in other cities. was as follows:
First he would call up a local drur
| store. giving the name OF a local ply
/ sician. and state he had a hurry-ur
| obstetrics case and wanted som.
water bags and certain other speci.
| fled articles as quickly as possible
he requested the druggist to have thu
articles ready as he was sending n man
| right away to get them and he mus'
not be kept waiting. Right away

out
This scheme he worked on four
drug stores in Pueblo, and a similar
plan was used on other firms for
other articles. In all he got rid of
twelve s35 checks in Pueblo.
He so timed his work that the
checks could not be banked until
Monday. being held over Saturday
afternoon and Sunday. and they all
ca me in to the First National on Mon
day in the usual course of deposits.
There was a new paying teller on the
job in the bank on that day, and also
a new bookkeeper attached to his
cage. and so all the checks were
cashed without question. Otherwise
some of them at least would without
doubt have been turnd down. leaving
the holders OF the checks in the soup.
The forgeries here were on the G.

When he tried the same scheme at
a Milwaukee drug store, he fell

of that city had been informed of his
methods both by Pueblo and Denver.
In Denver he IS said TO have obtained
more than $500 with his game. Why

GOVERNOR LOSES NO Time IN AGAIN
NOMINATING DAVIES FOR CHAIRMAN
REASON A MYSTERY

The Governor and Council after an
executive session lasting for several
hours, late Friday afternoon, refused
to confirm the nomination of Howard
Davies of Yarmouth, a former MEM
Der Of the Legislature, to be the
chairman of the Public Utilities Com.
mission to succeed Judge Benjamin
F. cIeaves Of Biddeford. It is under
stood that the Council voted unan-
imousIy against the confirmation of
the nomination of Mr.. Davies. The
nomination was made by Gov. Bax-
ter week ago.
This IS the second instance in a
quarter of century where the Ex-
ecutive Council has refused to con-
firm major nomination by a Cover
nor. The other instance was during
the administration Of Gov. William
T. Haines, when the Council refused
to confirm the nomination Of Ex-
Congressman Samuel w. Gould Of
Skowhegan, after the matter had laid
on the table for several weeks. 1t is
understood that the members Of the
Council at that time did not like the
idea Of three lawyers serving on the
Public Utilities Commission.

eral Menoher, chief of the service
had withdraw his recent written re-
quest that Brigadier General Nit

The announcement followed a
conference between the secretary

Secretary Weeks said it was clear

Gen. Mitchell which led to Gen.
Menoher's recommendation for his
relief would not be repeated. He in
tended, Mr.. Weeks added. ito utilize
the excellent qualities OF both these

Mr.. Weeks said. There will be no

MELLON WANTS
FREER REIN IN LOANS
TO FOREIGN NATIONS

Washington, June 1S--Authority
to readjust the entire foreign loan
situation so that the nations out
standing credits may be put into
more definite form is to be request
ed of congress in the near future by
the administration.
The administrations plan, which
was discussed at length at today's
cabinet meeting contemplates con-
version of the loans owed by Euro
pean nations into interest bearing
certificates which could be absorbed
by American business and CONNER
cial interests.
Congress will be asked by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon to give
his department sufficient authority
to make these conversions. In some
cases the department already has
that authority under the Liberty
Loan act, but there are other in
stances, particularly relating to over
due interest, where additional legis-
lative action is necessary.
It is understood that the Presi-
dents policy with regard to unpaid
interest contemplates a distribution
of the overdue payments over a long
period of years. An increase in the
, interest rate would be used to alb
sorb these amounts.

Hartling and Mrs. Annie N. Suther-
land, both of Saugus. are believed to
have sustained internal injuries.
officials Of the Eastern Massachu-
sets Street Railway Co. said that
one of the cars ran past block signals.
The cars were going in opposite di-
rections, each running down a steep
grade. They met at the bottom of the
gully with an impact so strong that
pne-third of one car was completely
demolished, while the vestibule and
portion of the other was reduced to
splinters.
There were 16 passengers on the
cars, all of whom sustained injuries
from flying glass or in the shock of
the collision. There was much con-
fusion as the frightened passengers
tried to escape from each of the cars
which had only one exit, operated by
the motorman.
Thomas Dolan of Lynn, motorman
OF the second car. suffered a fracture
OF the left ankle. He said tonight
that the signals showed a clear track
for him and that coming around a
sharp curve he did not see Haggerty's
car until too late to prevent the crash.
Haggerty was unable to give his YER
sion of the accident.

torneys for James A. Stillman strove
to prove today the bankers claim
that Guy Stillman is illegitimate, but
before the cross Of one
of their principal witnesses had
closed, it was brought out for the
first time that Mr.. Stillman and the
wife he is suing for divorce, lived to-
gether under the same roof on two
Sundays within the period considered
at present in establishing the paternity
of Mrs. Stillman's 81 months old son.
Her counsel appeared pleased that the
proceedings of the day had resulted
in making possible the elimination
of the entire testimony of DR.. Hugh
l.. Russell, osteopath, of Buffslo, N.
Y. 1t was he who testified that Mrs.
Stilman told him, before the birth of
Guy Stillman, that Fred Beauvais, the
part Indian guide, employed by Still
man, was the child's father.
On the ground that these state
ments were made by Mrs. Stillman

that the entire testimony of the os-

Governors Tribute

Gov. Baxter last night paid the
mander Reuben X. Dyer:
Il have just learned Of the I'M
timely death of Lieut. Commander
Reuben K. Dyer. U. S. N. r., and am
deeply shocked and grieved. The
State of Maine has lost one of her
noblest sons. Maine was his home
and his ideal. He had friends with
out number His deep interest in
the Maine Naval Reserve showed his
loyalty to his country and his record
in the world war cannot be excelled.
Il remember the day in April 1917
when he and his company of heroes
marched through the snow and
slush of Portland streets on their
way to the front and to the great
unchartered seas of war. There was
not dry eye in the throng that
watched them as they passed.
Whittier they were going and when
they would return no one knew. He
came back with an honorable record
of achievement and Maine and Port
land were proud Of him.
II appointed him as naval aide on
my personal staff and he honored
me by accepting that position. 1
shall miss him as a friend, citi-
zen and a soldier. and his place in
the heart of his friends cannot be
filled. The flag at the State Capitol
will remain at half mast for a period
of seven days as tribute to his
memory"
