FULL CONFESSION IS MADE Supply of Blank Checks Found in Kubblish Is Incentive, and t Easy Passing of First One Leads to More Forgery. Tn the arrest yesterday and subse quent confession of J. Marshall, a se ries of yetty forgeries which has mys tified Portland officials for nearly three years was unearthed. Admitting that he had operated under nearly a dozen aliases and had forged small checks any time he needed a little money, Marshall yesterday made a complete confession to Deputy Sheriff Phillips and a Burns Agency operative, who made the arrest. He is held at the County Jail in default or $1500 bonds. According to Marshall's own story, which has been substantiated In part, he has been in and around Fortland all the time he was forging the checks, but he used an assumed name in near ly every instance and cashed a major ity of his checks in widely separated parts of the city so successfully that he eluded apprehension and arreat un til yesterday. He admits forging more than a score of checks, say the offi cers, and has given them a list of the firms which he defrauded. It is be lieved that he has forged even more checks than he admits. In his County Jail cell, Marshall &aid that he first" started his forged-check career when he found a large number, of blank checks on various Portland banks in a pile of refuse. Being hard up at the time, he said, he wrote out a small check and succeeded in cash ing it. Because of the success of his first attempt, he kept the remainder of the checks, which he used any time he was in need of money. "I would use a different name near ly every time," he said. "It made no difference whether I used the name of a person who had money in the bank or not, because I always got them cashed, by writing them for small amounts." Marshall said1 he was a boilermaker by trade, but did not work much of the time because he could not get top wages. His checks generally ranged from $2 to $10. while the largest check, he said, was for $35. In many instances he appeared in the guise of a working man who wanted to get a paycheck cashed. According to the omciais. ALarsnaii cashed his last check about a week ago. At that time a fairly good de scription was given, which finally led to his arrest. He will be held to await action by the grand jury. It was said that some of the checks which Mar shall passed were really clever forger ies of signatures, and a. complete in vestigation is to be made of his record.

FOOD FOB BOY IS NEED LXSTRt'CTION OX HOW TO MAKE SOIL YIELD LIVING IMPORTANT. habits here with Germany's thrift and efficiency. Rev. Luther Dyott, pastor of the First Congregational Church, welcomed the association to Portland. School Garden Association, of America Hears Address of Van Evrle K.I1 pa trick, of evr York City Useful education that teaches the boy to produce something, rather than academic Instruction, is the need of today, believes Van Evrie Kilpatrick, of New York City, president of the School Garden Association of America, which held an afternoon session yesterday at the First Congregational Church. "The question in the cities is being repeated with more and more emphasis, 'How can I get enough to live? " said Mr. Kilpatrick. "In my school work I look into the faces of boys every morning who seem not to have had enough breakfast. I am not discussing the war at all: we are reaching a point, or have already reached a point rather, where some solution needs to be found for the problem that presses upon us." The association urges the wider spread of gardening and farm knowl edge that shall help solve the problem of existence. Samuel C. Lancaster spoke of out door education, its special need today and the urgent necessity for gardens everywhere, if America is to be fed and at the same time provide a surplus for its allies. He spoke also of the beginnings of the Columbia River Highway and of some of the obstacles overcome in that work. X. C. Maris, also an Oregon man, spoke on gardening and vocational education. His specialty, he said, is Industrial club work, but he treated his topic from the broader viewpoint, that included not only gardening but every industrial activity for the child. He said the United States is a country of spendthrifts and compared shiftless- Charles B. Serfling Is Dead. ALBANY, Or., July 11. (Special.) Charles B.
