During the early weeks in April scores of tern and Middle West hotels were | defrauded means of bogus credit let- t Near!y all accredited the bearer as connected with the “Earl Fruit and Pro- duce Company” of California. A dozen different names were used for the bearer, though it is believed that Black was the operator in every case. The evidence found to-day shows that Black alone or Black and his associates forged the credit letters at once upon the receipt of the zenuine letter late in March and began Most of the “E: Fruit and Produce checks were drawn on the First National Bank of San Jose and the American Bank and Trust Company of San Francisco. Pinkerton reports to the Police Department show twenty-three of these bogus checks to have been already recélved by San Francisco banks and pro- tested by them. = These checks were signed “M. D. Earl” for the “Earl Fruit and Produce Com- pany,” a corporation that does not exist. They were made payable to the order of various persons. These fictitious names, presumably Black’s aliases, included Her- bert 8, Johnson, Albert Peren, C. H. But- ton, Mathew O. Stone, Walter Bartlett, Denton Clark, H. D. Gordon, H. H. Crane, Tom Steuben, L. O. Hoffman, Frank O. Blender, A. B. Webster, C. A, Cotterall, W. J. Bisol, H. M. Crowell, H, D. Bryce, C. J. Hickman, T. A. Morse, B J. Davidsen and Fred Green. The checks, which f00t Hp to $4091 35, were cashed by hotels in ston, Springfield, Portland and Augustay Me.; Bridgeport apd New. London, ConM.; Albany, Rochestdr, Troy and Amstérdgm. N. Chicage, Pittas burg, eveland, Louisville,” Anderson, Ind.," and Minneapolis. % Thirteen bank books showing deposiis from $35 to-several thousan vere among Black’s effects. The positors,‘again, were Black's aliases, .and with the hotel frauds. Black had Union iting $500 in cash June 9 under the name of A. Young. June 12 he deposited a draft 4 for $1000 on the Indiana National Bank of | Indianapolis in favor of *J. B. Washing- ton.” June 13 he drew a check for $600 against the Oakland bank account in favor of “G. W. Pratt,” indorsed it in that name and deposited it had an account. The Oakland bank hon- ored the check and is out $100. Black’s Bank of California account, un- der the name of G. W. Pratt, was opened June 5 by the deposit of $1000 In cash. The deposit of drafts and checks amounting ?‘) §1435 followed, and June 13 he drew out 940, Black evidently was laying the founda- tion of a credit that would make the | passing of fictitious paper possible. The Western National Bank account, under the name of Black & Co., led to the swindler's arrest. June 11 he depos- ited a draft on a New York bank for $1100, June 12 a check on_ the Citizens' Bank of Santa Clara for $800 and on June | 13 one for $167 50 on the same bank. Both the latter were signed “G. A. Groves” in a handwriting that resembles signatures found among Black's papers. Black got $35 from the Western National Bank, but | when he tried to draw out by check $2000 more and the Santa Clara paper came back marked “no funds” Black's arrest in the Palace Hotel court Monday night by oDetectives McMakon and Whitaker oliowed. Black had a deposit of $500 with the | First National Bank of San Jose. His other bank books showed accounts and aliases as follows: R. M. Jones, Denver May 14, $500; Hoffman & Co., Indiana N: tional Bank, $1000, April 5 ington, American _Natio Bank of ly.am apolis, May 2, $1060; John O. Stone, Columbia National Bank, April 29, May 1, $2073 30; G. 8. Beal, State Savings Bank and Trust Company, Columbus, Ohio, February 3, §2; F. G. Davis, Garfiéld Sav- ings Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, February 20, $154 08; T. S. Steuben, Citizens' Bank, An- derson, Ind., April 30, §773 40; R. L. Smith, Natlonal Bank of the Republic, Salt Lake City, May 2, $00; R. M. Jones, Denver National Bank, May 14 to 19, $3000. How many of these were cash deposits and how many deposits of fictitious checks and drafts is not yet known. Black’s westward course and his fncreas- ing prosperity is shown by this unique record. His use, in making deposits, of the names of Stone, Jones, Davis, Steuben, ete., the names of the payees of fictitious Earl Company checks, helps to fasten those crimes upon him. In Denver Black was a guest at the Brown Palace, régistered as R, M. Jones A telegram to that name and address, un- der date of May %, was foynd among his ational Bank, papers. It is is from Omaha, and reads: “Arrived home OK. Mother very sick. Letter follows. ALICE Black reached San Francisco May 31, evidently coming direet from Salt Lake, where on May 29 as R. 1. Smith he had deposited in bank $500. 8o far as is known his operations in Califernia had only just begun and his dupes here are not numer- ous. Chicf of Police Wittman and Cap- tain of Detectives Martin are receiving many congratulations over the capture of this man, whose clever operations have baffled the detectives of so many cities. Besides the evidence already noted as found in Black’s room, there were check books and loose blank checks of scores of banks ail over the country. A written sheet contained the names of cashiers of a lurge number of banks. A typewritten sheet contained names of cities and towns in thirty-seven States. Black has a wardrobe that points to the budding swell. In his room were found a dress suit, a Tuxedo, five business suits, half a dozen pairs of patent leather shoes, cravats, ties, fine underwedr and slik night shirts to please the most fastidious of dandies. He ‘had much automobile literature and a matrimonial paper in a 55_rn;. Evidently: Black had social ambi- ions, A rubber “stamp and’ outfit, with the name, “Mathew O. Stone,” further fixes the hotel swindles upon the man. Black refuses to talk of his predicament, an«rdsy nearly all ‘afternoon he and Atirmey W, H.

Last year at Santa Ana Alameda County registered over 100. The programme shows that a larger number of speakers have been secured than at any previous convention, and the proceedings will continue one day longer than usual. The committee on arrange- { ments has decided that the sessions shaii be held mornings and evenings, so as to allow the afternoons to be -devoted to special meetings and trips to various points of interest, an itinerary for which | has already been made. The San Diego Chamber of Commerce has decided to send Miss Belle Sumner Angier as a representative to secure the convention for 1903. Miss Angier Is a most capable worker, hence t honor cenferred upon her. Owing to the support promised the San i Diego delegation, the Santa Rosa En- deavorers have about decided to make their plans for 1904. The railroad tickets for the convention at Santa Cruz are now on sale at all points, and delegates and visitors must | obtain’ a receipt from the ticke: agent when purchasing their tickets, whicn when signed by the secretary of the con- | vention will entitle the holder to a return at_one-third the regular fare.

An amendment providing that if the President could not within six months get a clear title to the Panama Canal Com- pany’s rights and concessions, he should proceed with the Nicaragua canal, was laid on the table by a vote of 44 to 31. One limiting the time of the President's decision as to the Panama route to twelve months was rejected, 35 to 39, and the same fate, by a vote of 42 to 32, awaited Mitchell's amendment to the Spooner sub- stitute providing that, even though the President is satisfied he can obtain a clear title to the Panama Company’s property, if he shall be convinced for any reason that it is not for the best interests of the United States to purchase the Panama property, or if he shall think the canal ougat not to be constructed by the Pan- ama route, he shall proceed to the cop- struction of the canal by the Nicaragua route. A direct vote was then obtained on the Spooner substitute. It was adopted, 42 to 32, the detailed vote being: Ayes—Aldrich, Allison, Bard, Beveridge, Burnham, Burrows, Burton, Clark (Wyo.), Cul: lom, Deboe, Dietrich, Dryden, Fairbanks, For- aker, Foster (Wash.), Frye, Gallinger, Gam- ble, ‘Hale, Hanna, Hansbrough, Hoar, Jones (Atk.), Jones (Nev.), Kean, Kittredge, Lodge, McComas, McCumber, McMillan, Mason, Mil- lard, Platt (Conn.), Pritchard, Proetor, ————— e e, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair, No Matter What Color. The finest contour of a female face, the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it is row known, is caused by a parasite that burrows into the scalp to the root of the hair, where it saps the vitality. The Httle ‘white scales the germ throws up in bur- rowing are called dandruff. To cure dan- druff permanently, then, and to stop fall- ing hair, that germ must be killed. New- bro's Herpicide, an entirely new result of the chemical laboratory, destroys the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops the faliing bair and cures baldness.
