EAISED $2.45 CHECK TO $12.45 Paper Passes Through the Hnnd of Several llunbars Men, end After Finally Brian lUtnnifd to Man Who Ilrevr It, Fraud Is Detected. A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Charles Mauch yesterday for raising a check from $3.45 to 112.45. The check was drawn by Contractor Johnson, of East Chicago, in favor of Mauch, one of his employes, and after being raised was cashed at John T. Richardson's saloon at the corner of Hohman and Hoffman streets. From there it went to Brusel Bros.' grocery store at 522 North Hahmon street and from there to the German Citizen's National bank from where it was sent to the clearing house in Chicago. It was later returned to an East Chicago bank and then to Mr. Johnson who discovered the fraud. The pollco were notified at once and an investigation followed which reseulted in the arrest of Mauch. Of eourso the check passed through so many hands that it may be difficult to fix tho blame upon Mauch, but he has been held under bonds. The iien work of Mauch was far from being clever, he having used a different kind of ink than was originally used on the check, but it was discovered and if he is proven guilty, a prison term looms up before him. The check was drawn Dec. 5, and it has taken all of the intervening time for it to make the rounds and finally bo returned to the man who issued it.

Makes a Lengthy Speech iu the House and Thinks Itlver nud Harbor Appropriation lilll a Good Thins. Washington, Feb. 6. Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, believes the people of the country approve the JS4,000,000 river and harbor bill now under consideration by the house. In a speech Indorsing tho bin he Paid yesterday: "The large appropriation and authorization curried by the pending bill are Justified by the growing importance of the transportation problem. Never in the history of this government has transportation been bo vitally connected with production and prosperity as it is et the present time. Railroad lines which are tho chief reliance of the great producing interior, have insufficient facilities for the accommodations of the stupenduous volume of production and the uncertainty of transportation and the high rates, required in many instances very seriously embarrass enterprises. "Transportation and tho exchange of commodities are as vital to the problem as the creation of the commodities themselves. An article is of no value where it has no means of reaching the consumer. There is a cry throughout tho length and breadth of tho country of a lack of railroad cars to transport tho great volume of produce and manufacture, and any expenditure that tends to increase the facilities for transportation and to reduce freight rates must givo a great stimulus to manufacture and all other lines of preduction throughout the country. "The farmers are peculiarly interested in the improvement of harbors and water-ways. As a rule the prices of farm products depend on foreign prices and the cost of transportation from the farm to the foreign market is a vital question. During the last thirty years facilities for transportation have so Increased and freight rates have been so reduced that notwithstanding there has been a general decline throughout the country in the prices of food products, yet tho price of products on the farms in the Missis

sippi valley has gradually increased. The increase of facilities for transportation and the reduction of the cost of sending meats and grains from the farm to the European markets have more than ' offset tho general decline in the world's markets of the prices of foodstuffs. "Under existing conditions almost every unnecessary element of expenses In the transportation of wheat from the Dakota fields to the markets in Liverpool lias been eliminated, and the farm price is closer tho Liverpool price today than it ever was in the history of the government. "This condition illustrates the great importance of still further improving facilities for transportation in the hope of still further reducing the freight rates from the farm to tho world's market centers. Our volume of production has come to bo so tremendous that the present railroad facilities are not sutflcier.t-. to accommodate it all without great delay and embarrassment." 1 Pay County Taxes to Lake County Savings & Trust Co., 92 State St. Open evenings except Thursday.
