MASONIC PAPER MISUSED

SALT LAKE CITT. Utah. March 28.
Carl C. Fisher, alias R. C. Johnston,
charged by federal officials with hav
ing passed a forged United States
treasury check for $2000 at Cordova,
Alaska, February 21, has been ar
rested at Hite, Garfield county, Utah,
and will be brought to Salt Lake to

here tonight. .
SEATTLE, Wash., March 28. (Spe
cial.) After an exciting chase of 2000
miles from Juneau. Alaska, to the
deserts of Utah, with United States
secret service operatives hanging dog
Redly to his twisting and doubling
trail, Carl C. Fisher, alias R. C. Johns
ton, and with a dozen other aliases,
asain was brought to a halt by his
arrest last Wednesday at Hite, Utah,
by W. H. Davenport, secret service
agent at Salt Lake.
Fisher was traced from Juneau
through the state of Washington to
Portland, thence to Hood River and
on down Into Utah to the desert,
where he disembarked from the tral
and started out In a flight to evade
capture.
Alleged Activities Numerous.
Wanted on charges of theft an
forgery of United States treasury
checks to the amount of $2000 at Jun
eau and Cordova, Alaska; of obtain-
in? 135 under false pretenses at Cor.
dova, and of having a forged United
States treasury check in his posses
sion at Hite, Utah; suspected of being
a German spy by the sheriff of Okan
ogan county, Washington, where he
broke out of the county lail last Octo
ber and with a record of indictments
for the alleged theft and forgery o
postal money orders In half a dozen
cities on both coasts. Fisher Is con
sldered one of the biggest catches to
fall into the net of the secret service
in many months.
Fisher was picked up at Okanogan
Wash., last fall and held for forgery.
He also was wanted by the govern
ment for various thefts and forgeries
of" postal money orders, but picked
the lock of the county jail and es
caped. According to information
from Sheriff Stark of Okanogan, he
went Into Canada and from there to
Juneau, Alaska. In Canada it is al
leged that he stole a Scottish rite Ma
sonic certificate bearing the name of
ltobert (Jullen Johnston," which
name he used in his operations in
Alaska.
; Certificate Misused, Alleged.
On March 11 Captain Foster was
notified from Washington, D. C, of
Fishers' latest exploits at Juneau
and immediately offered the services
of; h-ls department to the , United
uiBirict uLiomey ax juneau.
Fisher stole United States treasury
checks numbered from 946 to 950 in
clusive, it to alleged, from the office
of John P. Walker, supervisor of sur
veys at Juneau, forged one check No.
947 for 12000, signing the name of
"Robert Cullen Johnston" and cashed
the paper at a bank at Cordova.
He used the Johnston Scottish rites
certificate for identification. He Im
mediately converted the sum Into
travelers' checks. At Cordova he
wrote a check for 8135 which was
cashed Iby A. J. Adams at that place
upbn Fisher's representation that he
had money in the Moison State bank
at Okanogan, Wash.
About that time Fisher left Alaska
and headed for Seattle, according to
advices received here. He was ex
pected to arrive here February 27 but
did not arrive until February 28, com
ing in on the steamer Admiral Wat
son.
Portland n Itinerary.
Two operatives o fthe Seattle secret
service department found where
Fisher had hired an automobile on
February 28 and driven to Portland.
At- Portland he dismissed his car,
hired another and drove to Hood
River, where he took a train. He
left Seattle for Portland at about 9
o'clock the morning of February 2S
ana reached Hood River about mid
night the same. At Hood River-he
purchased a ticket to Provo, Utah,
and W. H. Davenport, the Salt
Lake City agent, was wired and put
on the trail But Fisher, en route,
had his baggage cheeked to Thomp
son, Utah, and he arrived there with
out molestation.
His next move was to plunge Into
the Utah desert and Agent Davenport
wired to Seattle: "I am going hunt
ing Into the desert." The details of
the chase- across the desert are not
known, but the chase was successful,
for last Wednesday Agent Davenport
wired that he had his man and that
he; had confessed to the forgeries in
Alaska. Davenport returned to Green
Klver, Utah, with his prisoner Sunday
and wired Captain Foster. Captain
Foster will not divulge the names of
ths Portland and Hood River men
who unknowingly aided Fisher In his
flight.
deputies removed him to the King
county hospital. Physicians said
Legg's left arm was shattered at the
elbow. The bullet ranged downward.
Dr. Gibson said Legg was suffering
from the effects of a protracted
drunk.
Besides the shotgun and rifle, Legg
also had a revolvel, which he fired
several times during the shooting in
the Issaquah streets. He did not fire
the shotgun. The deputies were armed
with revolvers.
Starwich arrested Legg In 1917 on
a federal charge of draft evasion at
the Grand Ridge mine where Legg
had taken refuge, and had sent word
that if Starwich wanted him he would
have to "come and get me." Star
wich entered the mine and forced
Legg to surrender without a shot be

seen orders for goods worth $30,000,

OREGON IAN NEWS lUTRKATT.
Washington, March 28. "Coming west
through Montana the other day t saw
quite a number of dead cows lying hy
the track," .ays A. 1C. Mark of Spo
kane by way of offering an Interest
ing side observation on shoe costs In
a letter to Senator McNary relative to
the proposed Investigation of the high
prlres of shoes.
"I asked my seat mste, who hsd got
on at some Montana station, why those
attimals had been allowed to die and
left there with their hl1e on, when
leather was so high. Ho said that
leather was high In only one place
when the consumer came to huy It.
Hides are low In price, so low In fnct
that It does not pay to monkey with
thn dead row for her hide."
Mr. Mark', letter offers several
other observations of Informative
character In the leather situation, his
statements being so Interesting that
Senator McXary, who Is soon to enter
upon the senate Investigation of shoe
prices, purposes to insert It In the
congressional record where It may be
seen and read. .Mr. Mark continues1:
"During the last month I have run
Into several leather travelers, and as
I am also a traveling salesman we
exchange ideas, and so on. Kvery one
of these men tella me that during the
last four months they have besn un
able to sell any of their goods, and yet
In the face of that the price ha stuck
right where It wu four months a so,
and worse still, they have been ad
vised of a price advanre of four cants
a pound, effective April 1.
"That alone In evidence of a com
bine to keep the prices up, and get
them higher. If the law of supply
and demand works to send the prices
up. why does It not work to send them
down? It cauinot when the prices are
arbitrarily set and kept there by a
eomblne arranged for that purpose."

Doti't think a Dentifrice
is Efficient merely because

ASK many people why th?r ose certalrf
XTL dental preparations. They will say
such articles must bo efficient because! of
the "druggy" taste.
Don't you be misled by these highly medi
cated dentifrices. When you require dental"
treatment, let your dentist tell you what
your teeth need.
Use Colgate' Ribbon Dental Cream twice a
