'STORIES OF PRIVATIONS BACK NEAR EAST IMMIGRANTS PLEA POLGE S FORGER COTSIOIND.C Clever Ruses Used by Bad- Check Passer, Accord- ing to Victims. Efforts are being made by police to apprehend a young man who is wanted to answer charges of pass- ing forged checks on local Inspector Grant, chief of detectives, the banks. Pathetic stories of privations and persecutions suffered by Christians in Turkey, told personally by victims and eyewitnesses, were heard by members of the House immigration committee, when they called in wit- nesses yesterday in support of the ‘White bill. which propuses to admit certain classes of near east refugees into the United States. One of those who testified was Elisa Shakinian, herself a refugee, whose flisht was stopped at Ellis Island. Re leased on bond by the immigration authorities, she came to Washington and, between sobs, related how she had been carrled into captivity by the Turks, how her near relatives all had tions made by other witnesses regard- ing the tribulations of the Christian minorities in Turkey. He sald he was speaking wholly for himself and not as a representative of the State Department, but could not refrain from saying a word for thoss who had suffered so patiently in the near east. When one committes member suggested that the refugees had occupled a district fertile In natural resources and should be sent back there to work out thelr own tion. Mr. Horton replied: , ° For God's sake don't do that, would be sending them to death.” “ Fepresentatives of the Near East Redef, the Federal Council of Churches, the Young Men's Christian Assoclation and the Young Women's You their NORECOALFIRD.C.

BETTERTOLOSE OUT THAN CAUSE DEATH was learned today. It is understood { the local coal men want the comm: on to establish a special rate that would enable bituminous coal ({o reach Washington over the Virginian | rallway, which terminates across the ! Potomac in Virginia. One man in close touch with the local coal industry stated today that at the present time the terminal charge which must be paid to have th coal brought ucross t Washington dumps by been killed, one by one, and how she had made her way to America, only to ifind the door closed in her face.

The largest sum obtained by the forger, $650, was paid him at the Na- tional Capital Bank on a check bear- jing the forged signature of Marvin F. Bischoft, real estate dealer. Appear- ing at the bank, according to_ the police, the swindler said he had been sent to get Mr. Bischoff’s bank book and canceled checks, which were turned over to him.
