policy of Great Britain in that

chased for Use in the City

At the council meeting last
night Ald, Kerr wanted to know}
if there was any report from}
the fire committee as to a build-
ing that was a nuisance and a
fire menace. The reply was that

there was no such report.

A letter was received from the
Hospital Board thanking the
council for the grant of $10,000}

towards hospital expenses and
acknowledging receipt of cheque

the motion of
ed by Ald.
was made.

Upon the recomnrendation of

that they have at last captured
the man who was successful in
trimming a number of merchants
and business men recently’ by
means of forged checks. The
man, who “gives his name as
Oakes, but who went under the
name of McDonald, was arrested
by Chief Vickers yesterday after-
noon in the restricted distnict.

The artist, whoever he was,
after a rest of a couple of weeks,
started to get busy along the
same lines on Saturday and his
| work met with very good success,
| several firms being again taken
in. An attempt to secure money
jat Stork’s hardware yesterday
morning led to the arrest of the
man who is now charged with
the forgeries. Some time before
|the noon hour a man using the
name of Harry Love called up the
hardware, saying that he was
sending a man down to buy some
tools and that he had given him
them. Vic-
salesman at Fred
answered the phone and
shortly afterwards the customer
arrived. On presenting the che-
que, which was for $64.00, Mr.
|/Tompkins grew a little suspi-
cious and told the man to take
the cheque to the Bank of Mon-
treal on which it was drawn and
have it cashed there. The ecus-
tomer left the store and when he
did not return for the tools Mr.
Tompkins grew still more suspi-
After several attempts Mr
Love was reached by telephone
and advised of the matter. He re-
ported that he had given no one
a check for the purpose intimat-
ed, An inquiry was then made at
the Bank of Montreal and it was
found the cheque had been cash-
ed there. It was drawn in favor
of Thos, Grant and Love's signa-
ture was so well imitated that
the teller did not recognize the
forgery. The police were then
notified and proceeded to get
busy on the case.

Suspicion naturally fell upon
a man who went under the name
of MeDonald and who had work-
ed for Mr. Love for a few days
about a week ago .Mr. Love knew
little about him except that he
stayed at the Maple Leaf Cafe.
At the latter place it was found
that the man had left there and
had gone to the Queen's Hotel.

man who had worked for him as
well as by several of his victims.
When arrested Oakes had on him
a number of blank cheques.
The accused appeared before
Magistrate Carss this morning
for a preliminary hearing. Al-
though there are a_ number of:
charges to be entered against
him only one was taken up. This
was that the accused had forged
the name of A. B. Williams to a
cheque dated October 18, drawn
on the Royal Bank for $24 in
favor of Tim Burns. No evidence
was taken in the matter and the
case was adjourned until tomor-
row morning.

Oakes is a man slightly under
medium height, of a sallow,
dark complexion with rather
sharp features. His hair is black
and slightly inclined to be eurly.
He was smooth shaven. This
morning he wore a dark striped
suit with a soft dark blue shirt.
He is apparently about 35 years
of age.

As there have been quite a
number of victims of the forger-
ies the case will be watched with
interest.

ALD. KERR MERELY
“WANTED TO KNOW”
Referred to Figures Published in

Daily News but Cid Not
Question Them

 

When the monthly accounts
were read at the council meeting
last night Ald. Kerr again drew
attention to the amounts for city
hall aud for public works. The
latter amounted to $20,270.36
and the former to $132,752.40.
He would like to know how it was
that the clerical force came to
more than the working force.
Acting-Mayor Naden took the
warrant book and went over the
items, which showed that under
the city hall account there had
been loans paid to the bank, cer-
tain interest charges and the
$10,000 handed to the hospital.
He read out these items and call-
ed the attention of the alderman
to the fact that the warrant book
was open at all times,

Ald. Kerr said he was partic-
ularly desirous to get these items
stated, as the last time he had
asked the same question in coun-
cil the Daily News had gone to
the trouble of explaining the
whole matter. He merely wish-
ed the information so that there
could be no misunderstanding
on the subject.
