Police Nab Bad
Check PaSSer
FORCES Check On Grover 7.
Williamson

Lambertville - Saturday night
about seven o'clock two men made
purchases at Nat Raphael's store,
and one of them rendered a check
in payment. James Fox, clerk in the
store, cashed the check which was
made out to +. A. Barrett ard sign
ed by Grover 7. Williamson, we'll
known dairyman of York Road. The
amount of the check was $2150, and
after the purchases of $40 were
deducted, they were given $t9.1G
In cash.
After they left the store Fox no.
ticed that the check was numbered
"7", and realizing that the business
transactions Mr.. Williamson carries
on would logically make his checks
carry considerably higher numbers
than that, he became suspicious and
called Mr.. Williamson on the phone.
He informed Mr.. Williamson of the
incident, relating the story told by
the man that he had done masonry
work for him and had received the
check in payment.
Mr.. Williamson Immediately dis
claimed any knowledge of the check
or any "E. A. Barrett" and declar-
ed it must be forgery. Fox got
in touch with Constable Norbert
Rosso who suspected that the men
would leave the city on the bus. He
gave description of the men to
Robert Roekafellow, driver on the
seven o'clock bus, and asked that he
be notified if either of them boarded
it,
In the meantime he made search
of the business district of the city,
but failed to locate the men. Shortly
after Rockafellow phoned from Ii
tusville that he thought one of the
men were on the bus. Constable
Rosso instructed him to stop at The
Wilburtha Station, and that he would
phone them to pick the man up.
He secured John Doe" warrant
and rushed it to Wilburtha, where
the State Police had already ar
rested the man.
He proved to be William Wood,
OF Brooklyn, and he confessed to the
forgery He was arraigned before
Justice Elmer Smith and sent to Jail
at Pennington on his confession. He
will later be sentenced by Judge
Robbins.
In the meantime Constable Rosso.
suspecting that the other man had
planned to meet him in Trenton,
phoned the Pennsylvania Railroad
detective at Clinton St. Station and
gave him description. The detective
reported that a man answering the
description was in the Station, and
Rosso hurried down.
But the detective, trying to make
sure of the man, approached him and
asked him if he was waiting for
anyone. The man replied that he
was, but when the detective turned
his back he disappeared. The detec-
I've had unwittingly put him on his
guard, and he evidently guessed that
the police were on his trail. His
name was given by his confeder-
ate as being "Swede" Gleason.

DR.. Salmon Tells Why
Dempsey Won't Fight

Observation-Disclosures fight fans will
be interested in an article printed
last Friday in the sports column of
w. O. Mcclellan, of the New York
Tribune. Here it is:
A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION
DR.. Leon Trudeau Salmon, of Lam
bertville, N. j., gives new theory
as to why Mr.. Jack Dempsey is
postponing his return to the ring on
n Kathleen Mavoureeu basis cit
may be for years, and it may be
for ever.). The Lambertville physi-
clan says that il is due to the new
synthetic nose.
1.-THE reconstruction of saddle
nose writes DIR. Salmon, "involves
the placement hypodermically of II
quantity of hot liquid paraffin, When
this has been placed and nodded it
requires long period of time to
change the wax into connective It's
sue and any irritation of the site,
until the change is complete, would
easily defeat the perfect result"
am ready to accept this as the
scientific explanation of the aversion
Of Mr.. Dempsey to plying his old
trade for the present and longer
Also can see why Mr.. Dempsey is
averse even to hearing Of bids foi
his services. For instance, if MIR
Dempsey were offered a million fol
bout his first instinct would be
to turn up his nose at the offer.
This ms the doctor has explained
would cause an irritation of the
site and would easily defeat the per-
feet result planned when Mr. Demp-
sey had the beak reinforced with
paraffin For the sake of the wan
ing cauliflower industry Mr., Demp-
sey should have made the surgeons
fill the beak with concrete. Come to
think of it platinum would have
been even more durable and more in
keeping with Mr.. Dempsey's finan-
cial and social standing.

ANOTHER ONE FROM
THE W. L. c. L..
But II Admits That There Is More
Drinking Now Than Before
Prohibition
(From the N.Y.Times)
Condition in Settlement
Neighhorhoods

"The Secretary of the National
Federation of Settlements sent out
last year questionable designed
to secure the opinions of settlement
workers concerning the consequence
of prohibition in terms of living
conditions, community life, etc, in
settlement neighborhoods. The re-
suits of the inquiry were reported
at the annual meeting of the Fed
Grafton in Toronto during the Sum-
mer of 1924. The inquiry was sent
to $50 settlements and elected in
all, forty-two replies, many of which,
however, left certain of the ques-
tons unanswered The replies were
hardly numerous or definite enough
to have statistical value, but the re-
port thus summarized the findings
on the basis of careful study Of
the returns; There is less drinking;
family life has improved-in some
places in quite remarkable degree;
children are better fed and clothed
and family ties have been strength
ened; neighborhood disorder has been
much reduced y
"That there is more drinking in
families and among the young in
certain localities; that the law is
widely violated; that the bootlegger
is getting rich; that many old soaks
have been sent to an early if not an
untimely grave; that individual Ii
berty has been restrained and hy-
pocrisy increased must be admitted,
But we must remember that every
great reform has been won only
after many years of effort and with
some temporary if not permanent
losses. What every one must admit
is the patent fact that the strangle
hold which the saloon had on our
politics and much of our industrial
and social life has been broken.
But as the bootlegger has re-
placed the saloon, and as the boot
logger is heartily in accord with the
prohibitionist who helps make his
business, of eoures everything is
+ lovely!
i Prohibition Come and Gone
"A lawyer has some funny ex'
periences," unused "A friend of nine
not so long out of college. "a few
days ago man came to me and
said he had sworn off drinking
liquor and wanted me to make an
affidavit to that effect for him to
show his wife. | accordingly drew up
the instrument, which he formally
acknowledged. What's your charge?
he asked as | handed him the paper.
Nothing at ALL | assured him. He
