FIND ALLEGED FORGER
IS "CAVE MAN W00ER"
John Carey, Arrested In PottsviIIe,
Jumped Bail Here In 1919

John II. Carey. arrested April Is in
Pottsville as member Of ring"
which it is alleged forged S5OO,0O
worth of securities of the Motors Mort
gage Corporation, and later held in
$15, 900 bail by Magistrate Renshaw, is
revealed today in dispatches from New
York rs the "cave man wooer" who
jumped a $4,000 bail bond in 1919.
The New York police were informed by
Philadelphia detectives that Carey was
the man who has been sought for three
years on complaint of Mrs. Helen G.
Waterman. of Boston.
Carey, at that time was a prosperous
instrument manufacturer of Brooklyn.
Mrs. Waterman, youthful and very
handsome, was courted by Carey. ac.
cording to the police records. but failed
to make hit. He forced his way into
her sisters apartment one evening. she
told the police, and carried her scream
ing out of the house. pressing what she
thought was n revolver to her side and
demanding that she clope with him.
The gun" turned out to be tonsil
extractor. Mrs. Waterman had her
temptestuous wOOer arrested and mag
istrate held him in $4,000 bail. which
he forfeited. Today Carey was held
without bail in Central Station to await
the action of the New York authorities.

trict and cases are pushed through with
all possible speed.
DR.. II. G. Whitman, Of the medical
examining force, tells me that some
very pathetic cases came to the at
tention of the squad.
A most unusual one was from Muncy
Valley, q wOodsman. He was mag
nificent specimen Of man, of gigantic
proportions, and apparently endowed
with herculean strength. Yet he could
not raise his arms above his shoulders.
There was scar ten inches long and
half an inch deep across his back, where
the spinous process of the fourth dOrsal
vertebra had been partly destroyed by q
piece Of shrapnel..
Another was that Of young man
who applied for treatment. He was so
weak he could scarcely enter the room
for an examination. He was immedi-
ately ordered to the hospital.
A peculiar case was of veteran who
asked assistance on the ground that he
had been gassed at Marseilles. German
airplanes had dropped gas bombs. he
said, but until recently he had not made
claim Of disability.
Under the law 1t was impossible to
do more than require him to procure
evidence froIS his former comrades Of
the facts.
It is not improbable that the Clean
Up Squad will be established as a per-
manent institution for the aid Of vet
Grams.

tions, Mr.. Ashe thinks. It seems in
equitable that the child whose feet
measure the path between the front
door and the school entrance oil re-
luctantly, should be under as much OBJ
legation to the electro. Levantines as the
child who goes trippingly and willingly,
to whose ears the morning bell Is lique-
factus music.
Accordingly he assigned g. A. Vana-
man manual training instructor in the
John Greenleaf Whittier School. to
teach the teachers. So we'll has Mr..
Vanaman taught them that after one
more lesson they will be qualified to
pass what they have learned on to their
pupils in the 100. odd special classes in
the city.
Not only will Johnny be allowed to
mend his own shoes, with tools, lasts
and leather provided by a benevolent
Board of Education, but those of
mother, father, baby sister and Uncle
Jeptha.
He will be instructed in the anatomy
of the sometimes human foot. how to
avoid broken arches and disalignments
of the metatarsal bones, and what will
happen to himself if he uses that awl
to clean out the inkwell.

One passing beneath the windows Of
the Hollingsworth Public School. On
Locust street beyond Broad. on a fine
Friday afternoon is likely to be greeted
bv the resonance of fifteen or eighteen
heavy and simultaneous conclusions very
rapidly repeated. He may conclude that
this is only a class being spanked en-
masse..
The truth of the matter is, however,
that the noise comes from eighteen pub.
lie school teachers learning to mend
shoes.
The idea belongs to William c. Ashe,
director of vocational education.
The making of shoes is said u ~.
next to the cutting of bond coupons and
the perusal of anthropological journals,
the most sedative Of occupations. 1t
Is an anodyne, sweetening to the dispo.
sition and ennobling to the mind.
This, however. was not primarily the
idea of Mr.. Ashe. What concerned him
We're the children of the 80 -called spe-
cial schools, sent there because of a
disinclination to care very much whether
Pizzaro Is OF isn't the capital of Brazil
or that the last bell Is wont to ring at
two minutes before o o'clock.
This ought to be, even though It
sometimes isn't, world of compensa. /.

New Basis for Federal Cur rency Sought by Wizard In Questions to Bankers and Economists.

WEST ORANGE, Feb, -21.-Thomas A. Edison today addressed question naire to bankers and economists ask ing why the national resources would not form a good basis for federal cur rency. A second question asks why khe national currency cannot be issued on a basis of fifty per cent of the value of the necessities of life stored in gov ernment warehouses and whether this would not be sound money. He also asks the economists, What in your opinion would be the approximate market value of a troy ounce of pure gold if all governments of the world should demonetize."
 The questionnaire has been sent out to the most prominent banker and fin ancial men of the country and many interesting answers are expected.

 The manner of the government of Russia is of little concern to Japan and other powers but Russia cannot be Recognized by other nations until she adopts an economic standard under which international trade relations with her are possible. The invitation to Soviet Russia to attend the Genoa economic conference was extended in order to give Russia chance to come back economically. It is fully believ- ed that she will The famine and suf- fering of the Russian people have con- vinced them of tthe necessity to change their economic organization.

In such case Japan will be one of the first countries to recognize the Soviet government of Russia.

AN EMERGENCY LAW

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The House of Representatives today passed res olution extending the three per cent restriction immigration law until June 30, 1923. The resolution has been transmitted to the Senate where it is expected it will be readily passed.
 This law is merely an emergency law passed, providing in the first in- stance for the temporary numerical restriction of immigration and in no ways relaXes CT changes selective tests of the laws of 1917. It merely pro Nides that for the fiscal year 1921-22 the number of qualified immigrants who may be admitted from each Euro pean country shall not exceed three per cent of the foreign born resident in the United States as shown by the census of 1910. This law by the reso- lution just passed by the House of Representatives will be extended until June 30, 1923.
 The immigration problem is one of the most important matters for the consideration of the country It is felt by the administration that it should be postponed until a more careful study can be made and more time talk en to the passage of permanent legis- lation.
 The three per cent restriction law permits the annual immigration into the United States of POI, SPA persons from Northwestern Europe, including England, Germany, France and the Scandinavian peninsula and permits the admission of 154,0O1 immigrants from southern Europe and other coun- tries The maximum number of inn migrants that can enter the United States under this law in any one year is 355,S25
