BOGUS CHECK
CASES
Two Walters Quit Jobs and

the Police Charge.

Two men who, according to the
police, forsook careers as walters
at the Post, Cafe at e and Thir-
teenth streets northwest, and passed
many bad checks, are in the tolls,
and Washington bankers are jubi-
liant. Bogus checks have worried
them for many months. Scores OF
checks, totalling more than 10000,
will be cleared up, police said today
by the arrests. The men describe
themselves as William II. Morris.
twenty-six years old, 627 Pennsyl-
Vania avenue northwest, and Luther
Ray, thiTty-one years old, OF Vir-
ginia Highlands, Va.
Morris was arrested when he at
tempted to pass an alleged forged
check for 1926 at the Washington
Loan and Trust Company. Ray,
who was guarding the outside of
the building, escaped, but was
later taken at his home.
More than twenty five bankers and
business men gathered in'the offices
Of Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief
OF detectives, last month, to devise
means to suppress the evil.
Again last night the squad room
at police headquarters resembled 2
board room in large banking insti-
tuition when thirty or more employees
of local banks and merchants assem-
bled. The prisoners were paraded be-
fore them for Identification purposes.
According to the police, Morris
gained the name Of Jim the PEN
man" on account Of the manner in
which he forged checks. They say

able to trace the genuine signature
on another check by placing 1t on

ninety. birthday and who says
that he is a living demonstration
OF the efficacy Of this diet.
In his little shack Of two rooms,
located In patch Of upland cover

looking out over acres Of marsh
land, Captain George has lived for
the last thirty-five years.
In the summer season he has
plenty Of company fisherman,
campers and those who go to the
Cove for an outing. but with the
close of the duck-hunting season in
the fall AID the departure Of hunters
from the marsh land, Captain George
lives alone, surrounded by Curl, his
cocker spaniel, and fourteen black
cats.

The present plan gives the CONNER
cial teacher too heavy a schedule to
handle satisfactorily.
Our science laboratory Is entire
ly Inadequate. Dean Maxwell in
spector OF high schools for the North
Central Association stated that our
laboratory was the weakest part OF
our school. We have added a good
deal of equipment the last two or
three years. but we do not have suf-
fcient space to do the good work.
A laboratory should provide suff-
cient space for individual work;
moreover, it should be on the top
floor of the building instead of be-
ing crowded down into the base
ment.
Our gymnasium floor is large and
adequate for most of our athletics
and physical training work, but there
is no satisfactory provision for the
spectators who come to the basket
ball games. This year we improved
the condition as much as possible by
putting in an iron railing around the
balcony and by putting in bleach
err seats in the balcony as well as
the first floor, but we are still I'M
able to take care OF the crowds.
