Signature Obtained and Banking Connection Learned Through In quiry About Building, Then Indorsement Is Forged. Forty-five architects of Portland, which Is the number recorded In the directory, received circulars yesterday from F. S. Alkus. manager of she Burns International Detective Agency branch, warning against response to "bunco" letters from Butte. Mont. The author of the letters Is believed to be a woman, the same who, on December 21. secured $90 from th City National Bank of Seattle, through the same scheme. Dated at Butte, Mont., on December 16. the letters are written in a fine feminine hand on blue stationery. The writer, the missives state. Is about to build a six-room cottage home in Port land, and has selected the architect to prepare plans, contracts with workmen, etc, if he can supply satisfactory cre dentials and references. If the Intended victim replies, he almost Invariably names his bank and signs his name. The come-on letters are signed F. E. Reede. and give the Falrmount Hotel. Spokane, as a permanent address. The sequel to the response does not begin in the answering architect's of fice. Some days after the letters have been exchanged a demure little woman. styJlshly attired, trips Into the bank which has been named as a reference. She presents a check on an out-of-town bank, explains that it has been indorsed by Mr. Blank, the well-known architect, and asks for the cash. It Is given her, and the forged indorsement sends Blank's prospective order glimmering. Of the 45 local architects canvassed by Mr, Alkus yesterday four have sent In copies of the letter received from "F. E. Reede," and have said that they answered them. One worried young man confessed that he suspected the letter and had his wife answer it. to avoid giving bis signature. Later they recalled that the family bank account was mutual. The person who penned the letters was a student of method, for It is ap parent that they were culled from the directory and sent out alphabetically. Two of those turned over to Mr. Alkus are In the "B" class, while two are "D." All four letters might be photo graphic copies, so closely does each re semble the other. Yet they were writ ten with a pen. in a hand facile from long practice. Mr. Alkus Is of the opinion that the check operators have elected to pass Portland by, despite their preliminary arrangements, as the swindle was worked at Seattle several days ago and they have had ample time to reach this city. PATIENTS WAKE MERRY ALASKANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN HOSPITAL HERE. Entertainment Also Commemorates Completion of Parole Annex at Mornlngside Institution.

The hospital is for the care of the insane from the district of Alaska. The Kobucks, Kuskoqulms, Indians from the South Alaskan section, and the Aleuts forgot their timidity and Interpreted the rythm of the chant and of the tom-tom with daring gyrations. The entire programme was given by the patients of the institution. Irish monologues, mimicry, an appeal to the Kaiser by an admirer and other songs and dances followed. The interpreta tion of a patriotic address by Lincoln was one of the features of the day. After the entertainment presents were distributed to the inmates, and the women found little Christmas trees in their cottages. PERSONAL MENTION. P. G. Powell, of Molalla, is registered at the Ritz.

CONDUCTOR IS FREED DISTRICT JTOGK BLAMES PASSKS' iER FOR PEANUT-SHELL ROW. Roy Crawford Admits He Made First Move Court Says Carman Acted In Self-Defense. Confession by the complaining wit ness that he made the first move which might be construed as a belligerent one led District Judge Dayton yester day to dismiss the charges of assault and battery filed against H. F. Kieke napp, former conductor on the Mount Scott line, by Roy Crawford. It was all over some peanut shells which Crawford, as a passenger on the car, sprinkled on the floor Of the car vestibule the night of December 20. Klekenapp, according to the testi mony of himself and his opponent, asked Crawford If he would clean up the mess, and Crawford said that he would, but didn't. This led to the con ductor's tossing Crawford a broom with the remark that he thought him a "dirty pig." Kiekenapp hit the first blow, the last blow and all the blowa In between, both admitted. The complaining witness confessed that he had been In numerous fights, and said : "Why, I've been beaten up 'most every place I've been." Recently he was in Eastern Oregon, near Pen dleton. There waa no evidence that Klekenapp was quarrelsome or In the habit of fighting. Judge Dayton summed up the case by asserting that the preponderance of evidence showed that the conductor struck in self-defense and, that the pas senger was of a pugnacious disposi tion. Conductor Kiekenapp had been dis charged by the railway company as a result of the fight. His defense was conducted by one of the railway's at torneys, Frank Lonergan. 15 MAZAMASGO SKIING Party to Pass Rest of Holidays In Vicinity of Mount Hood.
