Casper, it seems, is not the only spot in this country in which Mr. ice 8S. H. Mosher’s ‘society is urgently ~ re- , quested. Bickerdike, to whom Mosh- er confided considerable of his past life, allegesthat his former partner is wanted in Chicago, Davenport, Ta., and Denver, upon charges of forgery in connection with the cash- ing of forged A. B. A. or travelers checks amounting in all to approxi- mately $300. Slightly over q year ago, it is said, Mosher was in the employ of a large Chicago bank. Upon leaving that in- stitution he is said to have stolen $300 worth of blank ‘Traveler's checks, upon which he later forged the signature of a man of high pos!- tion in the Chicago bank, and pro- ceeded to cash thenf in citfes through- out the west, In Chicago he {s want- ed for the original theft of the checks and the forgery which made them valid, and in Davenport and Denver the authorities seek him for cashing the worthless slips of pa- ehould Mosher be able to settle with Casper business houses upon a cash basis, which is wholly improbr able, he probably will be returned to the cities named to face far more serious charges. The present legiti- mate debts of the company amount to close to $1,500 and there is little Hk'l hood that the croditors will be given satisfaction. Mr, Bickerdike, while recognized as a partner in the Mosh- er Tire and Service company, was never legaily known as such and dis- claims all knowledge as to the true state of the company’s books. It is improbable that he wil be forced + to stand good for the liabilities of the tire company. Casper merchants said to hold worthless checks signed by Lee Mosher are: The C. B. and Q. Res- taurant; the Kennedy Motor com- pany, the Burlington Cafe; L. P. Kyner; and the Mountain States Tel egraph company. Others whose names are not known are raid to be delaying action pending the result of Mosher’s preliminary hearing. Mr. Mosher should not be con- fused with R. M. Mosher, local Mich- elin tire representative, who is a Casper-pioneer tire dealer and lo- cated on West Yellowstone. fictia ee Uidb eins: | Foreign Exchange NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Foreign exchanges steady.

Asked by reporters about the Tea- Pot Dome inquiry he said: “I am through with that; they have finished with me." ARCHIE ROOSEVELT QUITS SINCLAIR. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Having summoned employes of Harry F. Sinclair to produce records and books which may shed ight on transactions mentioned yesterday in the testimony of Archie Roosevelt, son of the former president, and G. D. Wahlberg, the of! man’s pri- vate secretary, the senate commit- tee investigating the lease of the Teapot Dome naval of! reserve put off today’s session of its hearing until afternoon. Roosevelt told the committee he had severed his connection with the Sinclair interests because of the “amazing testimony” developed by the committee and certain observa- tions of his own. He also sald that in conversations with Walhibers, the latter had told him he was in pos- Session of cancelled checks for $68,000 drawn by Sinclair to the order of the foreman of the New Mexico ranch of Albert B. Fall, who was secretary of tho interior when the Teapot Dome reserve was leased to the Sinclair interests. Wahlberg, who ‘also appeared yesterday, insisted Roosevelt had misunderstood him with reference to the checks for $68,000, but he corroborated the remainder of the latter’s testimony and added that Sinclair had “loaned” liberty bonds and stock in his corporations to his personal counsel, J. W. Zevely, The Stock at least was sold later by order of Zevely, he said, but he did not know what use was made of the proceeds, The committee immedi- atély ordered tho subpoenaes {issued to clear up this point. Wahlberg also stated that he had submitted, his resignation to Sinclair. Roosevelt testified that, among the reasons he had decided to quit the Sinclair interests was because “two of the people most concerned with the naval oil leases had left the country in a great hurry.” He arranged, at Sinclair's request, he said, for his passage on the steam- ship Paris, which sailed for Europe Wednesday, in such a way that his name would not appear on the pas- Senger list, and added: “I understand that Mr. Doheny has gone and Mr. Zevely sailed Saturday, I am informed.” B. L. Doheny and Zevely were in New Orleans yesterday, however, and the latter, commenting on Roosevelt's testimony was quoted as saying: “If there was any irregularity in the oll lease I know nothing about ee He sald he planned to leave for Washington after a visit there of several days.

Sinclair has never loaned or given me a Penny in any way.” Mr, Fall said in referring to Portions of testimony before tho committes yesterday of Archic Roosevelt, in which Roosevelt told of having been informed by G. D. Wahlberg, private secretary to Mr Sinclair, that Wahlberg had can- celled checks for $63,000 drawn by Mr. Sinclair*to the order of the | foreman of the Yanch in New | Mexico of Mr, Fall. b Mr. Fall talked with J.
