the result is thar the arrest of sub

Before the Introduction Of modern
protective measures, forgery and
alteration had become SO simple it
had almost ceased being called an art.
To raise a check from eight to eighty
dollars, all this master criminal had
to do was to add a " to the Z and
then another zero to the numerals. To
raise six to sixty. seven to seventy or
nine to ninety was just as easy, and
to change five to fifty or to tack some
other word to fifty, say 100 or 1000
was equally simple The word and

point Of attack, and in many typical
cases Of forgery il has been made to
call for thousands by writing 'thous

For many years the forger had as
his greatest foe the designer of check
writing machines that shred the
amount in colors and at the same time
impregnate the paper with insoluble
link. The Introduction of these de
vices only hampered the crook 5 plans.

While attempting to cross the rail- road tracks from the New Britain train to the Mddletown train at the Berlin depot Saturday evening, Frank Glowacli of Clark street, New Brit ain, was struck and killed by a north bound train at 10 o'clock. N'he body was carried about 100 feet and tossed to one side of the track where it was picked up by station employees.
 The engneer and crew of the State of Maine express did not know that the train had struck and killed a man in Berlin until they were notified upon their arrival in Hartford. This train does not make stop at Berlin.
 Dr. R. M Griswold medical ex- amner, was called and found that the man had broken neck and frac- ture of both legs as well as several bruises about the body In his pocket was found $7 in bills and an envelope with the name and address of Frank Glowacki, 49 Lawlor street, New Brit tain. The body was turned over to the E. c. Porter Sons, undertakers of New Britain.

 The accident at the depot was wit messed by several people who were waiting for trains.

{ Nearly Bu,nlcss
And Trampless

Grand Forks Is almost q blmless
n a trampless town this year.
Very few wandering Willies" have
come this way during the present sea-
son: and the approach of the harvest
a which usually brings in an ad-
vance guard Of those who appear to
be seeking work and secretly hoping
not to find any, hasn't altered the
situation SO far.
Local police and the sheriff's stan
have had almost one of this element
to contend with this summer and the
officials declare that the season has
been an unusual one in this respect.
There are q few hangery-on who
do not appear to have any real inter-
est in life. and who apparently find
standing around the street corner suf-
ficiently engaging, but the erstwhile
popular rendezvous-that portion Of
DeMers avenue near the DeMers ave

year and only q few Of the old guard
remain.
The harvest season undoubtedly
will bring in some Of the trail-hitters,
but there is no indication that the
situation will be anything in COMPARE

PRACTICALLY
= NO COAL IN
GRAND FORKS
Commercial Club Survey
Committee Says People
Should Buy at Once.
Conditions May Not Be
Normal For Some Time;
No Figures on Price.

Declaring that there is a very
small quantity Of hard coal at the
docks and practically none" in
Grand Forks, the Commercial club
Coal survey committee, in a report
submitted to President ]. r. Carley
yesterday, recommends hat "all citi-
zens who possibly can lay in at least a
portion of their coal supply at once"
The report in full follows:
First. That there is a very small
amount of hard coal at the docks and
practically one at Grand Forks. That
tt will require thirty days after the
settlement of the strike before hard
coal in any quantity can be delivered
at Duluth.
Second. That there is a small
amount of soft coal at the docks
which can be obtained now.
Third. That it is impossible for
your committee to ascertain as to
whether or not there will be a change
up Or down in the price of coal. That
we feel that the consuming public
must be impressed that with the ex-
isting coal strike and transportation
strike, conditions are not normal and
may not be for some time.
Therefore, your committee recon
mends that all citizens who possibly
can. lay in at least a portion of their
coal supply at once"
