 To Avert Species Loss

San Francisco, Sept. 1 R-Un- der the sponsorship of the Marquis of Tavistocw. Havant. England, and c. '. Metzger of Chicago. a half hundred of various rare species of rarrakeets have been brought to California to help avert extinction in their native habitats on the Aus tralian continent and Fiji islands.
 The California breeders with whom the birds have been placed are under obligation to sell none until the fifth generation. At cur rent prices they retail for as high as $500 a pair for Bourke para keets. $500 for Elegants and $75O for Turquoisines.

FORGER GREATEST ] FOE TO BANKS NOW
He Takes Place Of Old Time
 Bandit

New York Sept. R-Continu- ued depredations make the bankers business life one of constant cau- ton. not only against armed bandits, but for protection from suaye forg- CTS, confidence men and swindlers generally.
 The bandit, with his mask and gun. brusque demands. rough tac- tics and quick getaway appears to be in the minority. The list of fradulent operators and robbers sup piled to bankers throughout the country by the American Bankers association indicates that the gen. tlemanly, business-like. unhurried but equally efficient type is not only more numerous, but more to be feared.
 f The operations of the fraudulent check writer are similar in that virtually all involve forgery, but their methods of approach are varied. One of the most active poses as wealthy yachtsman, esta ablishes SUUu SOCIAL cOuI1cCtlOnS on the strength of really charming per- sonality and paves the way to an introduction at banks by a relative of an officer or employe. Usually his sponsor is induced to indorse his checks, which are worth only their weight in paper.
 Slightly more crude. but quicker. are the operations of an older man. who presents cheeks for deposit, &C., companied by the deposit slip and request for new deposit book, explaining the old one has been lost. At the same time he tries usually with success, to cash an additional check, which, like those he de- posits. later proves to be worthless. Spurious letters of introduction frequently are used as a means of obtaining cash by men having the air of established capitalists newly come to he city to purchase prop erty. equipment. stores or anything else demanding considerable out lay.

RASPUTIN AGAIN
 f|GURES|N NEWS
His Spirit Rises in Million Dol.
 lar Lawsuit

Paris, Sept. 1 @ Nearly l2 years after his death, the spirit of Rasputin. the Black Monk" who dominated the Russian court before the Cars fall. is coming to life in the form of a t1.000,o00 lawsuit In the French courts.
 Mime. Boris Solovieff. Rasputin's daughter. is asking judgment for that amount from Prince Youssou- poff and Grand Duke Dmitri Paw lovich for the admission of Rasput- in's killing in book by the prince and for insults to her fathers memory which have so reduced his heirs that they no longer care to use his name."
 The widow of 8 Russian offissr and the mother of two children, Madam Solovieff. better known as Madam Rasputin, is now dancing on the music hall stage in Bucha- rest. She was q governess in a modest French home in Paris until she filed suit against her fathers sfayers and her employers learned her identity.
 Maurice Garcon, one of Frances most eminet criminal lawyers says Madame Solovieff is prepared to prove her percentage beyond a doubt. She is the oldest of three children. she says, and passed her childhood in the town of Pokrovskoe on the Tura river. the Siberian village from wrich Rasputin set out on foot. a wandering holy man, to make his fame in St. Petersburg as the healer of Prince Alexis, tlie Cars son and heir. It was by making the Czar and Czarina believe that he held the life of the prince in his hands that Rasputin was believed to have gained his firm hold upon the Russian royal family.
 All the principals in the Rasputin case are exiles. Prince Youssoupoff and his wife. the Princess Irena Alexandrovina, niece of Nicholas II. run a small but well known dressmaking establishment in Paris and operate q school of applied arts for Russian refugees. Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, the nephew of Grand Duke Cyril. acknowledged head of the house of Romafloff to- day. married Miss Audrey Emery. wealthy American girl. in 1928.
 In his book, "Rasputin," Prince Felix admits he killed the monk. borrowing revolver from the Grand Duke. He says he and the Grand Duke then wrapped the body in sacking and threw the body into the Neva river. When 1t was re- covered two days later the Empress Alexandria ordered 1t placed in richly decorated coffin and buried with the honors of a high ecclecias- tic, although. according to the princes account. Thanksgiving services were held in churches throughout the town Our health was drunk in the privste houses. at officers messes, and in the restaurants."
 Soon after began the break-up of Czarist Russia, and all the princi- pals in the case fled from the Bol- shevistic regime.
