BOY TELLS HOW HE GOT $l,OOO FROM BANK
tCerkanowitz Accepts the Blame and With Pal Is
 Bound Over /

John Cerkanowicz, alias John Sergan, F, and John Tysko, alias Harry Tusko, IS, were both bound over to the December term of the superior court when they were ar raigned before Judge Benjamin w.. filling on charges of forgery in police court today. Cerkanowicz through Attorney Henry J. Nowicki. pleaded guilty to the charge, but Tysko pleaded not guilty.
 The boys were brought back to this city yesterday by Sergt. Patrick A. McAvay and Policeman Patrick O'Mara from Pittsburgh where they were arrested last Saturday by the Pittsburgh police. They were charged with presenting an order at local bank for $1,o00, the sigma ture of Cerkanowicz's father being forged to the order.
 The Cerkanowicz boy took all the blame for the forgery saying that Tysko had no knowledge of his plans to get the money and that after he received the money at the bank, he told Tysko that he had won the money irf lottery. Atty. Nowicki made plea to the court to discharge Tysko and sentence Ger kanowicz to the reformatory, but Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods asked that both boys be bound over to the superior court.
 According to the testimony given the court, Cerkanowicz on Septem- Der 29, presented an order at To- cal bank for $1,000 with his fathers name signed to 1t. He was told that the signature was not very good one and the bank officials were unwilling to accept ii, so they are proper signature, which Cerkano- wicz examined closely, and told him to get a better signature on the or der. Cerkanowicz said that he then took another order and made 1t out, making the signature conform with the one he had been shown at the bank. He then returned to the bank and presented both orders. accord ing to his story, and told them to pick out whichever one they thought was the best. This was done, he said. and the money turned over to him.
 Having secured the money, Ger kanowicz went about completing his plans to go west. He said that he met Tysko about 6 o'clock that night and told him of his plans. Tysko said that he would go with him only for the fact that he was broke" whereupon Cerkanowicz is alleged to have told him that he had 5000 he had, won in a lottery and would lend him some of it. This was agreeable and the two started off, but to Canada instead of the west as Cerkanowicz had originally planned. They went as far as Had ley, Mass. where Cerkanowicz be- came alarmed and returned to Springfield, from which city they proceeded to New York and then to Pittsburgh, In Pittsburgh they de- cided to stay, so both chipped in and purchased an automobile. When arrested last Saturday, Cerkanowicz had s235 in his pockets and Tysko s9. The automobile they had pur- chased was returned to the dealer

the resignation will be acted upon at Q meeting of the congregation, said to have been called for Monday evening.
 The reason for the resignation has not been ascertained, although it is felt that the minister intends to devote his entire time to the man. agement of the home, which has grown under his direction to a large institution. When questioned by the Herald this afternoon, Dr. Klingberg refused either to affirm or deny the rumor, except to state that "It is not settled yet"
 Dr. Klingberg has been at tn, head of the Film Swedish Baptist church for more than 20 years. Or May r, 1903, he started a move. ment to take care of orphan child ren, when his attention was called to a needy family by Patrolman Charles J. Johnson.
 From the time he took the family to the parsonage, until today he has devoted considerable of his efforts to the. building of the Children's Home on Rackliffe Heights. This home now is one of the most remarkable insti- tutions in the world. Although its value today runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars, Dr. Klingbere has never solicited one cent for the institution nor has he ever received any stipulated salary.
 When he feels the need of money he prays and so strong is his belief that he never doubts that he will receive what is~needed. Voluntary contributions pouring in all the time maintain the institution, due entirely the minister has stated on numerous occasions, to prayer.

Spectacular Sights,

Aboard the U. S. s. Shenandoah, in the Willamette Valley Oregon, Oct. 1S.-Moving slowly against an adverse wind, the dirigible Shenan- doah turned eastward from the Paci- fic Ocean at 12:3O this morning, over the twinkling lights of the little town of Florence, Oregon.
 When Harrisburg, Oregon, was reached the course of the big ship was turned due north through the Willamette Valley toward Portland. Corvallis was passed at 2:25 a. m. Lights of the cities and villages show ed clear in, the valley while streams of automobiles and locomotives dot ted the highways and railroads.
 The moon rose slowly from behind the mountains as the Shenandoah passed the mouth of the Rogue river last night at 9 o'clock, light twink led on the shore and the coastline lay white under the moonlight.
 Up 43OO Feet.
 After the ship left the coast for the valley course the altitude was increased from 1000 to 4,3O0 feet. The shift inland was made because of anxiety over the ships supply of gasoline a fear which vanished when the craft moved into the valley and met fair weather.
 The panorama was continuous, yet never the same. While the sun made it's way through it's course in tho heaven yesterfays tho shenardoafl moved from past San Francisco to Brooklns, Oregon, passing that point lat 7:16 p. m.. With it's busy ship ping, It's vine clad hills, and the oc- casional smoke of small mills, the California coastline resembled the air view from Boston, to Charleston, S. C., on the Atlantic coast.
 Skirted the Coast.
 For most of its course during the day the Shenandoah skirted the shore. riding much smoother over the sea than over the land when she rounded ridge of mountains and approached Eureka, Calif, at [ p. m. yesterday.
 The Shenandoah turned ip and gave Eureka a greeting. At other times during the day the Shenan- doah was so far out at sea that the shore line was only line of white foam. Mountains, even snow-capped Shasta, were dimmed in the distance.

 Storekeeper

Philadelphia, Oct. 1S.--yioIet Dickerson, nineteen year old mother, today was acquitted of the charge of murder in the holdup and killing of Louis Hirsch. an aged storekeep- CT, last November.
 The jury, which heard the evil dence all this week retired late yes- terday afternoon and when it was unable to make a report at nine o'clock last night. it was locked up until 10 a. m. today.
 The girl was jointly accused with Charles OeGfinger, 31 years old, of shooting Hirsch. Oeffinger was given a separate trial and convicted of first degree murder, carrying the death penalty. He asked for new trial and his appeal is before the state su- prene court. The girl and Oeffinger accused each other of having fired the shot that killed Hirsch. Al
 Miss 'Dickerson in her defense said she met Oeffinger about a week be- fore the shooting. He had overheard her conversation over @ telephone with another man and told her he could assist her in the difficulties she mentioned on the telephone. She lived with him for a week when both became penniless and Oeffinger pro- posed to stick up' the storekeeper, she testified.
 The girl said she refused but Oeffinger threatened to kill her. She went along but refused to point a pistol at Hirsch. oeffinger, she con- tinued, seized the gun in the scuffle with Hirsch and shot the storekeep- CT.
 Oeffinger was arrested trying to escape and the girl was captured next night. Her baby, which she brought to court each day of the trial, was born in prison last May. The girl wept in joy when the fury freed her and was congratulated by her father and other relatives. She will be taken to Salisbury, Md. by her father where he has been living for more than a year.
