New York, Nov. 0. Tho three mm
of mnny vocations who were nrreslt'd
on Tucsdny night charged with linv
in got between $500,000 and $!0O.ni
in tho past Ave years on hand painted
forged chocks 'are held Without bull In
the Tombs for forty-eight hours peiid
lng further .fuller Investigation. Tlli'.v
are wanted In ut least twenty cities
Probably they will be tried here, but
they may be sent elsewhere If It de
velops that other towns have tightei
cases against them. The men under
arrest are Charles Cnrlcsl, Louis I
Schutzbcrgr and Isldor Weiss.
It was a mlstuko of a bookkeeper In
n Newarl- bank that gave Schutzber
per and Isldor Weiss their first tip i)
to how easily cash could be tricked
o "t of the banks, according to tho tt
ry of a headquarters detective. That
wai In 100(5. Schutzberger's mother
having died and his father having re
Unfinished his saloon at 110 Columhu-t
street and returned to Russia. Schuf.
berger and Weiss went over to New
ark nnd started a cigar store at 11'J
Springfield avenue. In those days
they were using their own hdhrst
names.
One day late in 1000 Schutzbcrgot
found that the bookkeeper who hud
balanced his passbook at the Union
National bank had credited him with
$075 too much. Before tho hank could
learn of the error tho cigar store was
closed and Schutzbcrgor nnd Weiss
had vanished.
Presoutly the elder Schutzbcrgor
came back from Itussln and announced
to east side friends that his boy was
dead. Dead ho remained to his rela
tives and former cronies until the ar
rests of Tuesday night brought him
to life nruld n Hock of aliases. The
saddest part of It all from the stand
point of the Newark bank is that that
.institution Is on tho list of those sup
posed to have been swindled by the
trio In 100S, two years after the book
keeper Inadvertently started the younj;
tobacconists on n criminal career.
The police are no clearer to an in
sight Into the methods by which the
checks of mwny banks were duplicated
nnd forged. Schutzbcrgor 'and Weiss,
who have confessed a good deal, pro
fessed to know nothing about the ac
tual forging of the paper which they
passed. Carlesl, tho leader, who In
credited with being- a shrewder man
than the others, has said nothing. The
tale of an artist so skillful with bru-h
and India Ink that he was able to man
ufacture checks which banks certified,
without looking twice remains merely
a tale.
The PInkertons say that none of th.
checks which have come to light they
total $217,000 ever saw a printing
press. Three of them were done in
pen nnd Ink, several with a camel's
hair brush and Ink and the rest wen,
made by a gelatin method of, transfer
ence. The specific .charge is that the thve"
prisoners passed forged .checks for
on the Hanover National bank (luted
May 24, 1009, .signed "Eugene Mayer
& Company" and' payable to "A. 'Zel-'
ler."

INDIANA FOR EFFICIENCY.
Candidates, Not Politics, Generally
Successful In Election.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 0. Complete
returns from tho election in incorpornt
ed towns, .show that partisan Issues

tics. In some cases entire Republican
tickets -yere elected and In- others the
Democrats' were successful, but' even
In such cases 'the result was no't due
to, party politics. The Socialists in a
number,, of towns made largo gains,
and this was about the only thing dis
tinctive In tho elections.
The wet nnd dry issues became
prominent in a number of places, and
as a rule the moral forces were vic
tors, electing marshals "'who ':-were
pledged' to enforce'the' lay?'. ' 'Thefotcv.

ministration's formal answer to the re
port made by .the .majority of tho sen
ate committee on foreign relations
against the treaties. Secretary Knox
In his speech, contended that the trea
ties as presented by the administration
do not deprive the senate of any of its
constitutional rights. He declared that
there was no danger of the Monroe
doctrine becoming involved In arbitra
tion; thaf.no nation, putting itself in
tile attitude of deliberately violating
thnt doctrine "could expect to And in
the treaty, terms of protection against
the consequences of such nn act."
He made further objections advanc
ed by the sonata committee, with the
statement that the questions of lmml.
gratlon and territorial integrity also
would be beyond the scope of the
treaty.
