A Contract Presented to an F Street Real Estate Dealer, Which Was Followed by Police Action. The arrest of William H. Wese for pre- sentirg a forged contract yesterday to Redford W. Walker & Son, real estate brokers, at 1006 F street, as reported in The Star, has brought to Nght what’ the local police authorities believe to be an unusually carefully planned and brainy swindling scheme. The name of the man, it has been fornd, is ngt Wese, but Wil- liam H. Bateman. Another man, supposed to be an accomplice, has also been placed under arrest and his name on the first pre- cinct station blotfer reads R. A. Bowen. He is held at the station, while Bateman 1s behind the Lars at the sixth precinct sta- tion. The men will be given a hearing to- morrow in the Police Court. Attorn2y Shillington was teday devoting himself to an effort to secure the release of the men on hail. From an irvestigation, conducted by De- tectives Horne and Weedon, it is belfeved by the officials that Bateman and Bowen have carried on swindling 8perations in several of the larger cities of the east. Bateman, it is charged, entered the office of Walker & Son about noon yesterday and presented a contract showing the firm to be indebted to the “Trades Publishing Company cf New York” in the sum of $10. It was set forth that this amount was due for ucvertising in the Merchants and Man- ufacturers’ Business Directory. The di- rectcry containing the advertisement was exhilited, but Mr. Walker, the head of the firm, failed to remember the transaction, and he at once declared the signature of the firm attached to the contract to be a forgery. It was recalled by Mr. Walker, however, that $5 bad been secured from him in a similar way in February last, and he at once became suspicious. “There must be some mistake,” said Bateman when- informed that the alleged signature of Walker & Son was a forgery. “The canvasser who turned it in, however, will be responsible.” Bateman then left the office. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Walker and one of his clerks, Mr. William L. Lanning, and was over- taken at 10th street and Pennsylvania ave- nue and induced to return to the offict. He was detained there until the arrival of Detectives Boardman, Weedon and Horne, who had been summoned by telephone. Just as he was accosted at 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue Bateman was seen to hand a package of papers to another man, who afterward p-oved to be Bowen. At the detective office Bateman stated to Inspector Hollinberger that he is employed as collector for the New York publishing firm. If anything of a criminal nature had been perpetrated, he added, the soliciting agent must be the guilty party. The New York address of the firm was given by Bateman as 11% Broadway. Inspector Hoi- linberger wired the New York detective bureau a request that the case be investi- gated. He received a reply to the effect that no such concern as the Trades Publishing Company is located at 1103 Broadway. There is a firm of that name, however, at 631 Broadway, but no person by the name of Wese is in their employ, 0 ‘e was telegraphed. From the description furnished, Detective Horne succeeded in locating on Pennsyl- vania avenue the man who afterward turned out to be A. A. Bowen. He was Bateman. The detective waited outside and Bowen soon reappeared, having com- pletely changed his attire. He was greatly surprised when notified that he was wanted at police headquarters. Bowen admitted that he has known Bate- man for several months. He understood his friend to be engaged in a legitimate advertising business. He accompanied him, he said, merely because he is fond of travel. Bowen is educated and has every appear- ance of a polished gentleman. He ex- pressed great indignaticn at his arrest. He came to this city with Bateman Monday, he said, and they at once engaged accom- modations at the Raleigh. A search of the room occupied by Bate- man and Bowen disclosed the fact that the men used a single trunk in common. In the trunk were a large quantity of printed leaflets containing the names and addresses of prominent business firms of all the large cities. The leaflets were similar to ad- vance pages of a directory, and it is sup- posed that they were shown by the alleged swindlers to prospective customers. Among the Washington business men whose names appear in the directory found in the possession of Bateman and Bowen are: Frank L. Dyer, the Ohio National Bank, the Columbia Title Insurance Com- pany, the Washington Loan and Trust Company, George E. Lemon, Butterworth & Dowell, Wood, Harmon & Co., Tyler & Rutherford, H. Clay Stewart & Son, L. M. Saunders & Co., Andrew Lipscomb, Robert O. Holtzman and Thomas G. Hensey & Co. Several parties called at the detective office today and stated that the men had attempted to work the same game on them yesterday. Mr. Lioyd B. Wight showed that Bowen is not the innocent party he claims to be, for, he says, Bowen presented a forged contract to him yesterday after- noon. A Mr. Thompson of Butte, Mont., who is in ihe city temporarily, visited Inspector Hollinberger this afternoon and explained that an attempt to swindle on precisely similar lines to the present alleged scheme was discovered at Butte a year ago, and two men were arrested. It was found, however, .mpossible to prove that any money had been obtained. Mr. Thompson believes that he can identify the men who operated at Butte, and will have a look at Bateman and Bowen some time this after- noon. The men who were arrested at Butte, it was found, had also tried to secure money by the same plan at Cincinnati. Unless it can be shown that Bateman and Bowen succeeded in collecting money kere they can be charged only as suspicious characters. Attorney Shillington stated to a Star re- porter this afternoon that his clients are entirely innocent of the charge against them, and he said he expects to have no treuble in securing their discharge when teken into court. Mr. Shillington made in- quiries at police headquarters in regard to photographing for the rogues’ gallery per- sons placed under arrest. If Bateman and Bowen, he said, are pho- tographed against their will, and they are not convicted, suit at law to recover dam- ages wili surely be filed. Inspector Hollin- berger informed Mr. Shillington that sus- pected parties are not photographed for the rogues’ gallery, unless convicted here or it is found that they have a criminal record elsewher —_— Carroll Institute Lecture: A course of complimentary lezzures is announced by the Carroll Institute.

Last June he went to a sanitarium at Saranac Lake in the hope of recovering his health. He appeared to steadily improve, and only last week his father on a visit to him found him still improving. But night before last Warden Leonard was summoned to his son's side, the young man’s condition having suddenly grown alarming. This njorning Mrs. Leonard received a telegram frcm her husband, stating that their son died last evening.

Contractor Winfree and the Wallach School Addition. Contractor Winfree, who is building the addition to the Wallach school, has de- faulted, and his bondsmen will be required to complete the work. - Some days ago Building Inspector Brady made a careful examination of the building and found that unless extra effort was made the building could not be completed in the time called for by the contract, Namely, January 1, 1897. He accordingly notified Mr. Winfree to give some practical evidence by a certain day of his ability and intention of completing the work by the time stipulated in his contract. No atten- tion was paid to this notice until today, when Building Inspector Brady reeetved a letter from the attorneys for Mr. Winfree stating their client’s inability to do the work as required. The matter was imme- diately laid before the Commissicners by Irspector Brady, and after receiving thcir approval he notified the bondsmen, Messrs. G. C. Esher and J. J. Kengla, to proceed at once to finish the work. aS National Geographic Society.

LOOKING FOR OFFICE Maryland Politicians Are Giving the Re- publican Leaders Little Rest. Probabilities an to the Bestowal of Some of the Prominent Positions— Minor Places Eagerly Sought, Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, M4d., December 1, 186. Office-seeking republicans are giving the leaders of their party little rest these days and new candidates for the federal offices which are to be refilled when the McKinley administration goes in are cropping up every week. The indorsement of Mr. Wel- Ungton is sought on all sides, end the Sen- ator-elect is favored with almost as many callers as he was during the campaign. Nearly all those who served under former republican administrations are anxious to resume their old posts again, or obtain places to which equally substantial salaries are attached, and their claims and the de- mands of the younger element have added materially to the brisk competition. Some Prominent Candidntes. Conspicuous among the veteran offic? holders and office seekers is Mr. William M. Marine, who is anxious to regain the collectorship of the port—the position he held under President Harrison. Mr. Marine was not a prominent figure in the last cam- paign, but he bases his claim to considera- tion upon services rendered his party in former political battles. It is not believed that his present ambition will be satisfied, and his appearance as a candidate for the collectorship has occasioned some surprise. There is no question about the sincerity of his aspiration, however, and the party lead- ers are likely to be favored with consider- able attention from Mr. Marine until the slate is finally determined upon, It is generally conceded that Clty Regis- ter William F. Stone will be slated for postmaster of Baltimore. Mr. Stone will have the support of Mr. Wellington and Congressman-elect McIntire, and as ex- Postmaster William W. Johnson has been already elected to the board of police com- missioners of Baltimore, he is not likely to encounter a formidable rival. Another veteran, Mr. William F. Airey, wants to be appointed United States mar- shal, and is making an aggressive fight for the place. Mr. Airey held the position un- der President Harrison, and is at present the most conspicuous figure in the field. Want to Go Abroad. Gen. Adam E. King, whom President Harrison appointed as consul general to Paris, is anxious to be reappointed by President McKinley. He is a presidential elector-at-large. Col. Charles F. Markell, member of the house of delegates from Frederick, wants to return to Rio de Janeiro as consul, the position he held during the last republican administration. Col. William J. Vannort of Kent county, who ran against ex-Governor Frank Brown in the gubernatorial race of 1891, wants to succeed Col. Herman Stump of Harford as United States commissioner of immigra- tion. Mr. Thomas Bartlett of Talbot, a repre- sentative of the younger element in the party, aspires to succeed Mr. Marshall Winchester of Baltimore as national bank examiner, and other candidates are pre- senting themselves daily. The large number of small federal offices, which are disdained by the more promi- nent aspirants, have not been overlooked by the hungry crowd of small fry politi- clans, and the distribution of these places, which are now enjoyed by Senator Gor- man’s friends, is being eagerly awaited @ throng large enough to fill fully twenty times the number of places at the disposal of the administration. — - Pressure on Ex-Gov. Brown. A very decided effort has been made by democrats of both the Gorman and anti- Gorman factions to induce ex-Gov. Brown to come forward as the democratic leader, and to announce himself as a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Mr. Gorman. The ex-governor was absent in Europe throughout the presidential cam- palgn, and has not expressed himself on the dominant issue; consequently he would not arouse the antagonism of the silver wing of the party, and would, of course, be acceptable to the gold faction, A num- ber of Senator Gorman’s old associates, who feel that his effort to secure his own re-eleciion will insure republican success, have urged ex-Gov. Brown to consider the question of party leadership and the sen- atorship, but this the latter has stead- fastly refused to do. He is out of politics, he says, and while he wishes to see the democracy triumph- ant again in Maryland, he is unwilling to take a leading part himself or become a candidate for any office in order to at- tain it.

Morrow of Sandusky, Ohio, asking that an effort be made to locate the whereabouts of his son, Henry Everett Morrow, known as Harry Morrow.

The defendant was Andrew Wonder, whose place of business is 51 C street southwest. WORSE THAN RAILROADS. Mr. Cy Warman, the Writer, and the Bicycle. Mr. Cy Warman, journalist and magazine writer, who writes such clever stories of the railroad, was in the Police Court this morning 2s a witness against a young col- ored man who was charged with reckless driving. Formerly an engincer on western roads, Mr. Warman now devotes all his time to literary work. His health is not of the best, and a recent trip to Europe and Asia did him less good, he says, than rid- ing a bicycle on Washington streets and the nearby country roads, as he is now do- ing. A week ago last Friday Mr. Warman was riding his wheel on C street, going toward the B. and O. station, between the tracks of the Capitol Traction Company and the Metropolitan road, when he was run into by a butcher wagon, driven by “Kittie” iams, alias William Thomas. His wheel was demolished and he himself was lucky to get off uninjured. “I have been in a good many tight places on the railroads out west,” said Mr. War- man, “but I never had as narrow an escape from death as I did that day. I have gone out of an engine cab so quickly that I never knew whether I left by way of the window or the door, and running a newspaper at Creede during the haleyon days of that gay town was no sinecure, but 1 never came so near death as I did when that wagon struck my bicycle. I managed to jump off one side before the horse struck me. The Wagon went completely over my wheel. 1 have spent four days finding out the iden- tty of the driver, and every time anything of the sort happens I am going to prose- cute the case, for it seems to me that the rights of the bicyclists are not properly recognized. I am a careful rider, but ju: am. the escan The testimony in the case was somewhat complicated. Judge Kimball decided that Mr. Warman was on the right side of the street, while the driver was on the wrong side, and that an action for damages against the latter's employer would cer- tainly hold. Still, he had a reasonable doubt as to whether Williams was criminaily responsible, and dismissed the case against him. I have had several very narrow —— EVERYTHING IS READY.
