Police Captured Better Than. TSiey Knew When They Arrested H. H. W. Dvrlsht. The capture of one of the most noted and clever bank-check forgers In the coun try was made by the police Saturday, and the merchants of Portland are saved from being extensively victimized. The roan is a most daring and successful operator who floods a place with his worthless paper when once he begins, and business men can feel relieved to know that he Is safe under lock and key. He came here a week ago from Califor nia and going to the office of a printer represented himself to be X. C. Cogglns, of the Cogglns Bros. Lumber Company, of Siskiyou County, Cal. He delivered to the printer an electrotype bearing the name of this company, together with a quantity of bankers sarety paper, and re quested some drafts printed. The print ers, thinking the order a suspicious one, reported the case to Chief of Police Mc Lrauchlan. with the result that the Chief made arrangements to arrest the man when he called for the drafts on Saturday morning, and the plan was accomplished. On "visiting the police headquarters and examining the man, and afterwards com- "Z . i t "A"t"f B '.,; ";t en!8 n0 matter where we, play It.

How he got out of the peni tentiary before the expiration of his term is not known.

Bard, the insurance roan who -was arrested and committed to jalj at Ntorth Yakima. Wash., a lew days 'ago. on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, wras a resident of Port land some 10 years ago, and is more or less known to the insurance men of the city. He remained here several yeans, during which time he was connected with a number ot well-known Insurance com panies as general agent and manager, and was a respected and active member of the Christian Church. He had more than avemere natural ability, and was looked upon as a very successful insurance man, both in the field and in the office. He had a touch of indolence in his makeup, how- per. &nH as he grew older, work be-I , itvia. rrrtr ftnil iiw'uw iHTfnwfcffrftrtl rt Wm I and he gradually Jost his prestige In bus iness circles. Jive or six years ago. ho left Portland, and Twas next heard of in Baker City, where he was taken in" cus tody by the police on a charge of forging- the name of J. Frank Porter, an In surance man of that place, to a oheck for $10. Friends secured his release by re funding the amount and paying the costs of the case. His defense was that in temperance and insanity had made him irresponsible. His record In- the vicinity of Baker City was bad, and he did not remain there Jong. Frank Ralff, an Insurance man of Se attle, who had been on his trail for some time, says Bard swindled many victims in Oregon, under the names of Wolf, Baker, Wood and other aliases. HE LIKES "ALABAMA," Colonel Moberly I a Favorite Char acter With. Jamea Nelll. Being a native Georgian, ,and having been educated at the University of Geor gia, .James Nelll is particularly fitted for the portrayal of Southern character, and it la for this reason that he' delights to play the part of Colonel Moberly in Au gustus Thomas' beautiful play, "Ala bama," which will be presented by the Nelll company at the Mdrquam Thursday afternoon. "I have always liked to play 'Ala bama,' " said Mr. Nelll to an Oregonian man last night. The play seems to fit our company.

CONCEBJflNG A STREJ&T LINE,' Referee's Report Filed After Eight , Years' Wait. R W. Montague, as referee, has filed a report In the suit of Angcllne Berry, Don ald McBrlda and Sarah J. Banfield against the City of Portland, brought "to restrain the city from Improving East Oak street from Twelfth to Sixteenth street by grad ing and macadamizing. " Mrs. Berry is the owner of .property In block.,321. Bur ners Addition,.-fronting - on the street, and the other plaintiffs also own lots having a frontage on East Oak street. The complaint of plaintiffs Is that the suivey made 'fay the City Surveyor brings the south line seven, feet south upon the property of the plaintiffs, and will de prive them each of a strip of land seven feet In width on the north side of their property,Xor' which they will, receive -no compensation, and further that hey will be compelled to move their house"-, fences and shade trees.. They, contend that the northern boundary of the street as It now Is, Is' on a line parallel with the base line of United States surveys, and also the same as fixed by the City of East Portland In 1SS4, when the street was Im proved. The suit was filed March 29. 18D2, and has for some reason not yet reached a flnaU determination. It still bids fair to be delayed, as the City Attorney has filed a motion objecting to the Teport of the referee. The referee decides in favor of. Mrs., Berry, and against the other "two. He states that in the original surveys of Burnell's Addition, the true location of the base 41ne was not .known, nor re garded, "and that the south line of blocks 321 and 2S1. where plaintiff's property is situate, as actually located on the ground, was but 23 feet north thereof, and 30 feet north of the center line of what Is now East Stark street. In 1884 the City of East Portland opened J, now East Oak. street. The 'south line between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets was established 203 feet north of the north line of East Stark street, and ap proximately to the line which Mrs. Berry now occupies. As to the property of Mc rlde" and Banfield, the testimony Is otherwise, and their north line Is,- as al leged by defendant, 223 feet north of the base line, and this line Is the south line of East Oak street, as actually surveyed and opened by the City of East Portland In 1884. It follows that as to the plaintiffs, Mc Brlde and Banfield, the suit must be dismissed. As to the plaintiff, Mrs. Berry, the establishment ot this street In front of her property and the subsequent Im provement by Tier Is to be treated as an estoppel against the city, or'as the ref eree says, he should prefer to x hold the opening and laying out of the street amounted 'to an authoritative 'determina tion of Its place, and the city cannot now change its street llne"except",in'the man ner provided by the charter, .and Mrsv Berry Is entitled to a decree restraining the city from encroaching upon the line mentioned, 203 feet north o the. north line of East Stark street Probate Court.

He-Refer to the Deceased's Rellgr - ions Life Tribute From Genernl German" Aid 'Society. Dr. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, officiated at the fu neral services over John Wilson yesterday afternoon. A large number of frlend3 as sembled at the family residence, where services were held. The pallbearers were:. P. L. Willis, S. Penrioyer, J. A. Strow- J uwuge, x. vr. wiuieiiuuse, b. r. .uee ana Ai "-'S. "Frank. In referring to one well krtown characteristic of Mr. Wilson, Dr. -Hilt said: , "I expect that we very much differ con cerning the religious life of Mr. 'Wilson. There are those here today wrho are more familiar with that than I am. But then Is one thing I can say, and that Is, he was tremendously interested In the sub ject of religion.' He was eagerly Inter ested In the philosophy of religion. He always spoke to me with utmost rever ence concerning religion. He talked of re ligion, but as the;years went by and He began' to Investigate and his thoughts were led this way and that on these great subjects, he often found himself getting away from many things which In his childhood had been accepted .without question. "There Is an agnosticism which God's work recognizes and approves. Paul shows his sense when .he said, 'We know In part.' John, who by some has been called the eagle eye of the apostles, said: 'We know not what we shall be,.' Again and again are expressions along the line, 'we see through a glass darkly.' There is such a thing as Christian agnosticism, nd a man, even though he has spent his lifetime In the study of the Scrip tures, who speaks dogmatically always concerning the great things of God, simp ly announces ana auvcrusqs nis pariiat, very partial, knowledge. The things we know, my friends, the things we know, la the little Inland In the vast ocean of truth; and the difference between the agnosticism of Paul and the agnosticism of the man,, who turns away from the Scriptures is that Paul walks along the way feeling that the aim of life Is not the possession of facts which God has held from us; butr-Mt -rather Is a right attitude, towards the things which have been revealed; while the man who pa rades his agnosticism shows his ignorance by closing his eyes to things which have been revealed, and turning from known things and turning towards the unknown, and excusing his conscience for withdraw ing from'rellgious light. "A short time before my Summer vaca tion 1 satat the bedside of Mr. Wilson and spoke a word concerning religion, and he made this remark, speaking slowly and .with much emphasis: 'I was trained very religiously, and lt is difficult for a man to get away from" the training of his child hood.' He knew, no doubt, that he was standing on the threshold of the unknown world, and lt may be that even then out of the haze there were shining the clear rays or the sun of righteousness. Apd let us trust that now, face to face with him in whom are hid' all the 'treasures of wisdom and knowledge, he Is having explained these gr,eat questions which for so many years he loved 'to think about." Dr. Hill's praise for the departed em phasized his love for good books, active interest In education, pure business quali ties and love for mankind. "Among the friends present were, Ludwlg Levy and President John Relsacher, of the General German Aid Society; bearing resolutions passed by that body, which illustrate the quiet benevolence of the dead man. These resolutions were as follows: For nearly a -quarter of a century has Mr. John Wilson assisted the General German Aid Society In Its good work bv his example of usefulness, disinterested benevolence, as well as his regular con tributions to the "society's support, re ceiving nothing In return but the reports of. the society's labors among the poor, and the satisfaction of having done . his duty In reliev ing suffering, and distress, thereby prov Ing'hls philanthropy as broad and liberal as his patriotism and religion. - ' It Is with profound sorrow that this so ciety records the loss of 'such a member and friend; be it. therefore. Resolved. That In the death of Mr. John Wilson, the General German Aid Society moupis. the loss not only of a good member, but of a man exemplary In his long, useful and honorable career as a merchant, a citizen and the head -ot a family.
