HELD ON CHECK
CHARGES

FAIRFAX. Va, May 1O.-Mack
Dornell, colored, 1896 Union St.
s. W., Washington, is in jail at
Fairfax pending investigation Of
charge Of passing forged checks.
With him are three other colored
people all Of southwest Washing
ton, Rosie Pearce, Eugene Thomas,
and Joe Tate.
The forgeries date back over sew.
eral months.
In each case the method used has
been the same. A colored man
enters a store, asks for a cheap
tire, says his truck has broken
down "over the hill," presents a
$25 check made out to Willie Hill
and signed by person well known
in the local neighborhood, fc~ whom
he informs the merchant, he is
working. He indorses the check. col
lects the tire and change and de.
parts. Half a dozen merchants in
Fairfax county have been swindled
by the same scheme. Yesterday Mrs.
George Turberville, at Centerville,
'phoned Sheriff Kirby that willie
Hill" had just left her store. The
party was arrested between Center.
vile and Fairfax, and held by JUS
tice Zoll, for further investigation.

VISI7
HOOVER
CHURCH
an

The little Friends ing House
at Thirteenth and Irving Streets
Northwest, which President and
Mrs. Hoover regularly attend when
they are in the Capital, is being
besieged every Sunday.
Apparently none of the Quakers
believed their meeting place would
be attended by President Of the
United States when they approved
plans for a small building with ca.
pacity Of seating $50 persons. Every
Sunday since Mr.. Hoover was in
augurated hundreds of sightseers
and the curious element Of Wash
ington's population have clamored
for admittance to the church. When
the seats are filled there is no room
for more and the disappointed
crowds are asked by police to con-
tinue on their way.
One Appeal Made
Since Mr.. Hoover as President
attended the meeting house and DR..
Augustus Taber Murray, professor
of classical language at Leland
Stanford University at Palo Alto,
Calf, was requested by Mr.. Hoover
to take charge, the church has
made only one public appeal.
Services of the Quakers are ac.
centuated by long periods of 81.
lence until a worshiper is prompted
to suggest the singing of a hymn
or make a statement. The corner
on which the church stands is a
bus stop and the roaring of the
powerful motors of the giant pas
senger busses frequently drowned
the voice of the speaker. Members
of the church asked that buses be
diverted from the block during the
services and the Public Service
Commission agreed.
Crowds Larger
Crowds that gather before the
church to see Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover
leave and depart seemsffto be larg.
er weekly. A small army Of Wash
ingtonians who make it a practice
to attend the church in which the
President worships, have noticed
that Mr.. Hovoer has discarded the
usual Sunday presidential attire of
silk hat and morning suit. He ap-
pears in an ordinary business suit
and felt hat.
Qaakers frown upon dressing or
acting for spectacularism or
show" Plain speaking, acting,
dressing and worshiping are the
main tenets Of the Quaker faith.

route home on foot when confronted
by the three highwaymen near

through Roberts pockets, getting
a small sum Of money and a watch,
Charles was broke and when his
pockets failed to produce either q
watch or money. two Of the men at
tackled him.

tremendous sale all over the coun-

founded.
And the laboratory that turns out
this highly successful reliever OF
stomach agony must be run by
fair minded men for they have
passed along the word to every
druggist in the country that ii
Dare's Mentha Pepsin doesn't bring
serene comfort to any worn out

Stubborn indigestion of years
standing is hard to get rid of, but
Dare's Mentha Pepsin is the discov-

druggist asserts. You can get it at
any real drug store in America and
thousands are taking advantage OF
