JACkGR|FF|TH, NOT
FRANK JONES IS
NAME OF FORGER
Suit Case Reveals Real Name of
Much Wanted Young Man;
Makes Getaway at Littleton;
Passed Ba d Checks There.

News of Frank Jones, the young
bell hop at the Woodward Tavern
who forged the name of Mrs. Ella
Robbins to several checks and sue
cessfully cashed them before leav-
ing town short time ago, was
heard this week, and was quite in
teresting, but up to the present
time, his whereabouts remain un.
known. Sheriff w. j. Harvey and
Constable Fred T h ero searched
the suitcase which young Jones
had left at the hotel. and found
evidence that convinces them that
his name is Jack Griffith instead
of Frank Jones, and that his home
is in Nebraska.
The Littleton Independent gives
the following account of the young
mans tricks in that part Of the
state, and how he eluded the off
GERS when they almost nabbed him:
ga young man giving the name
of Frank Jones, escaped from Off
GERS Sunday night as they were
about to catch him at the Howard
boarding house. Jones had been
living at this place for several days.
The authorities at Idhho Springs
found out that he was living here
and ordered his arrest. AS he re-
turned to his room Sunday evening
marshals Stevens and Jones we're
notified and proceeded to make the
arrest, but as they went up the
stairs Jones slipped out Of the sec
ond story window over a porch and
to the ground, making his escape.
she was later tracked to the river,
then across country toward Engle-
wood, but all efforts to locate him
failed.
He passed some bad h ck 8
here and several at Idaho Springs.

Franchise and Contract Being Discussed in a
Manner that Shows Interest on the Part of
Taxpayers; Proposition of Both Companies
Receiving Much Consideration by Voters.

That the city aldermen should be guided by the will
of the taxpayers of the city of Idaho Springs in arriving
their decision regarding the granting Of franchise to
either both Of the electric light companies who a
plying for the right conduct their business in the city,
is being agitated every hand vote by the people in
which expression this matter is obtanabe can leave
doubt in the minds of officials who elected to
That both companies should receive franchise is be-
ing advocated by many Of procuring lower
rate for lights and power.
As the tendency of the time is for lower prices all
commodities, and prices slumpng, it would be ex-
pedent for the aldermen to perfect plan that will avoid
the necessity of making fight in the future For while
it is very true that the Public Utilities commission would
have authority to raise lower rates. it is ridiculous to
assume that the con,isson would not grant reduction
at this time.
Electric light and power companies public utilities
The public depends upon them for light, and in many
places for heat and power The public pays the freight
1t is entitled therefore, know that there will be
interruption Of agreements and contracts Of either
pany or individuals that are responsible.
The Colorado Power company is deserving of credit
for the splendid service that it has afforded but the fact
remains that there is almost unanimous sentiment preva
lent that rates should be reduced And is the time
to procure reduction. Again calling attention to the
fact that the Utilities commission may lower the
rates. do not forget that the commission is liable be
done away with Then with contracts protect
the the holders of the franchise can do as they
see fit regarding rates.
If franchises should be granted both the Colorado
Power company and the Clear Creek Power and Develop
ent company the contracts for light and power will then
be to the consumer far accepting the rate pro-
visions of either the company offering the lower rate
will procure the business only franchise is granted

SAFEGUARD THE
GOLD STANDARD
Increase Gold Production and
Prevent Permanent Loss of
Developed Ore Resources; the
McFadden Bill Should Pass

According to the National City
bank of New York, world national
debts alone increased from AZ
billion dollars at the beginning of
the war to nearly 300 billion
dollars at the end of 1920. During
this period the worlds monetary
gold stock actually decreased about
400 million dollars.
Europe is temporarily on paper
basis, but intends to resume gold
payment as soon as may be. Re-
sumption depends upon contraction
of paper issues and the existence
of adequate gold stocks. Does a
serious decline in the worlds gold
production tend to inspire conf
dence?
War wastage and consequent
money imitation are responsible for
the high cost of living. In the
Cnited States the influence Of the
increased stock of gold is only
incidental Attention is called TO
the fact that commodity prices
have become higher as countries
have lost gold and are highest in
the countries that have little gold.
The future prosperity of our
country largely depends upon sell
ing its surplus commodities to
Europe. These sales are now
curtailed by adverse exchange
conditions During 1920 we i'm
ported $3.50, 100000 in gold from
Europe. further depicting its al
ready weakened gold reserves and
thereby lessening its purchasing
power in our markets. Will not a
more plentiful supply of gold tend
to improve these conditions?
On the threat of war nations
seek to strengthen their gold re-
serves. Together with the army
and navy, the gold reserve is the
first line of national defense From
the time the embargo was lifted in
June, 1919, to January 1, 1921, the
United States exported S675,887,
700 of gold--60 per cent to the
Orient, sl95,4l4,ooo to Japan
Since 1914 Great Britain has
taken various steps to assist her
gold producers. Tn 1915 the Brit
lsh empire produced SO. Z per cent
OF the worlds gold output; in 1920
its production is estimated at 73.0I
per cent. The United States pro-

LODGE SEEKS A
LOST Member
Location of Charles Dag9ett,
Who Has Been Missing From
His Home in Russell. Colo
RADIO, Is Desired by His Family

The Elks lodge of this city is
making an effort to locate one of
its members by the name of Chas.
Daggett, who left his home in
Russell, Colorado, on Nov. 3, in
search of employment, and since
that time has neither been seen
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1921-02-01

nor heard from by his family or
friends
He is a man with large brown
eyes, black hair, and his two eye
teeth are capped with gold. The
picture printed with this article
was taken some time ago, but is a
good likeness of him, except that
he is now heavier, weighing about
1856 pounds.
He has a wife and two children,
and they are very anxious for his
return. He was truck driver at
Russell, which is only a timber
camp, and on account of so much
snow he was unable to use the
truck, and stored it till his return.
By having stored the truck, it ap-
pears that it was his intention to
return, and it is believed by some
that he has met with foul play.
However, if he should be living
within the reach of anyone who
reads this paper, it will be ap-
preciated if they notify the lodge
at this place
