CARMEN 10 OPPOSE Capital Traction Union Turns Down Suggestion of Reduc- tion for New Men. EXPECT NEW AGREEMENT View of Renewing Present Arrangement. The union trainmen of the Capital Traction Company will oppose any re- duction in wages for new men em- ployed in future, John H. Cookman, union representative, stated today. The suggestion that a lower wage be pald motormen and conductors taken into the service from now on was made both to the Capital Traction and the Washington Railway and Electric companies by Col. Keller, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. The chairman of the commission made i clear, however, that he was not ad: vocating a cut in the pay of present employes. Mr. Cookman stated today that when the union committee confers with officials of the Capital Traction Com- pany at 10:30 o'clock, Wednesday morning, it will be with a view to renewing the present wage contract, which expires March 30. The Washington Rallway and Elec- tric Company has no union agreement, but is now paying and probably will in future pay the same scale adopted by the Capital Traction Company. Replying to Col. Keller's suggestion to cut the wage of new employes, William F. Ham, president of the W. R. and E, made a counter-proposal. Under the existing scale the men get 51 cents an hour for the first three months, months and 56 cents thereafter. Mr. Ham suggested that new men be em- ployed on a gradually increasing scale that would reach the 56-cent maximum at the end of five years. Both the officers of the Capital are confident of reaching a new wage agreement without serious difficulty. W. JETT LAUCK NAMED. Appointed Special Investigator for T. S. Coal Commission. Appointment of W. Jett Lauck as a special investigator charged with compiling of statistics for the United States Coal Commission was an- nounced today by Chalrman Ham- mond of the commission. Mr. Hammond will leave Washing- on Monday for Birmingham, Ala., where he will meet Commissioners Marshall and Howell. The three com- mission members will make an fin- spection tour of mines in Alabama and Georgia. Members of the commission today expressed their gratification at pa sage by the Senate of the $400,000 a propriation requested by the commis- sion to continue its work throughout the summer. —_— MRS.

Earl Godwin Warns Class Against Expressing Opinions. Expressions of opinfon in news- paper writing must be based upon the ability to get accurate facts, said Earl Godwin, assistant to the presi- dent of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, in an address on the present newspaper trend before the class in journalism at George Washington University yesterday aft- ernoon. Mr. Godwin is a former news and editorial writer of wide experi- ence. He condemned any attempt to inject opinions into an article unless the writer had had the experience that made 1t possible for him at any time to go out and get names, places and dates without error. Such per- sons, he eald, could speak with au- thority. Mr. Godwin compared the magni- tude of present news gathering with that of #he days when the Constitu- tion of the United States was adopted and sald that the invention of the tel- egraph and the featuring of news gathered by that means had resulted in a public demand for facts which had constantly incrcased up to the present time. Rapid means of com- munication had conferred the great- est benefit upon the profession, The speaker reviewed certain exist- ing styles of newspaper publications and gave advice to the class in the matter of entering upon a career. —_— REFUSES FOREIGN POST.

ON TRAIL FOR MONTHS Clever Swindles Perpetrated With Aid of Confederate at Offices of Victims. The climax of a well laid set of plans Ly the police to apprehend expert forgery experts, who have netted be- tween $10,000 and $20,000 by operations during the past elght months in Wash- ington, is belleved by Inspector Grant, chlef of detectlves, to have been reach- ed yesterday in the arrest of Willlam H. Morris, twenty-six, of 627 Pennsyl- vania avenue, and Luther Ray, thirty: one, of Virginia Highlands, Va., on charges of forgersy. Tried to Cash $925 Check. Morris was arrested outside the Washington Loan and Trust Company yesterday, after attempting to pass a check for $925. An attache of the bank arrested him and summoned the police. Following & quizzing of Morris, at po- lice headquarters, Ray was arrested on a forgery charge as his accomplice. Behind the arrests is a dramatic story of adventure. FPolice, post office inspectors and bank officials have been co-operating for months to put a stop to what was apparently an unceasing drain on resources of banks due to the operations of a clever band of forgers. The stunts pulled by the forgery mas- ters rival some detective story plots. Mall Boxes Rified. For instance, reports came to the detective bureau that mail boxes in apartment houses in certaln sections were being rified around the first of every month, when bank statements would be in’ the mail with canceled checks and balance statements. At the same time banks began re- porting losses due to forged checks. The result was a_conference dur- ing the middle of January between offictals of the detective bureau, rep- resentatives of banks and post office inspectors. Specific instructions re- ! garding the modus operandi of thé criminal were issued to the banks. Thoy were requested to be on the lookout for attempts at passing forged checks under certaln circum- stances. Il for Five Weeks. There came a lull for about five weeks. Then the check passing started again. A report came from the North Capltol Savings Bank that! ta man had presented a check for $550 for payment and had asked for the balace and bank book of a certain client of the bank. When the teller started quizzing the man asking for the balance and bank book he was told that if he did ndt credit the inquisitor to call up a certain number and ask the depositor. {The teller called up. He got an an- erything was O. K. and the check went through. Number a Telephone Booth. Later {t was discovered that the {telephone number was a telephone booth and the man on the other end of the wire was a confederate. Mor- s was identifled by officials of the North Capitol Bank as the man pre- senting the check for $650. Morris has admitted virtually noth- ing so far as forging checks goes. Police are holding him for further in- vestigating. Ray also has told noth- ing regarding the alleged operations On the person of Morris when searched was found the end of a let- {ter from George W. Young, an attor- ney. Questioned about it, he replied he had just found it. Later, however, according to Inspector Grant, he d clared that he “might find use”. for the signature in the future. Thirty-Five Try Identification. Last night the squad room of police headquarters was filled with thirty five representatives of local banks to attempt identification of Morrix, Today detectives are turning in all {check cases and the data obtained on them to Inspector Grant in connec- tion with this case. One of the principal features of the {method by which attempts were made |to pass forged checks at local ibanks was that of having the de- {positor, whose signature has been iforged out of the office at the time| {when the bank would make inquiries. jIn one instance a check was pre: !sented for collection when the pros- [pective victim, an attorney, had called {out to interview a confederate of the {operator regarding a case. In this | manner, deception_ at the outset was | not uncovered and in case the bank | was too suspiclous the presenter of the check would simply ask for its | return and announce that he would ! jcall later with particular Identifica- tion.

An investigation during the recess of Congress, into the gold and silver industry, was ordered today by the Senate. A commission of five was cTe- ated to conduct the inquiry.
