THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 14 MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1921. PORTLAND. OREGON. BAD CHECK FLOOD PUTS TWO MEN IN THE, DALLES JAIL The Dalles, Jan. 17. Flooding the city with checks Saturday night after the banks were closed, J. H. Adams. 22 years old, and Roy Bricker, alias Steve "Shannon. 21 years old, it Js al leged,' procured nearly $1000 in cash and several hundred dollars worth of merchandise Before they were captured by the police and deputy sheriffs early-Sunday morning. Fifteen unsecured checks have been recovered by the police thus far. With but one exception, all the principal busi ness houses in the city were victimized. Other checks are still In the possession of merchants who have not yet discov ered their fraudulent nature, the police say. t Bricker. w'ho declares that his home is In Walla Walla,, was taken from a train at the station about midnight by Patrolmen McClaskey and Dunsmore. The train had already started. Bricker at first resisted arrest, the police say. STAllT BANK ACCOUNTS When Adams was arrested he was anleen hut fullv dressed, in his room at -a local hotel. He had left a call, for an early train to Portland. He had previously checked two suitcases for Portland, and these were found to con tain much of the goods that had been purchased with-- the worthless checks, it is said. Merchants who had cashed the checks were kept busy during the night and Sunday identifying the men. Both have made partial confessions, according to Chief of Police Heater and Deputy Sher iffs Klton and Scherrer. According to McClaskey, the two men came to The Dalles Thursday morning from Walla Walla. They opened ac counts for small amounts in separate banks, the police say, ,pne depositing iio, the other $50. KVEX OHDEB BED On Friday each parsed a couple of small checks, it is, said, asking the mer chants to call the banks to see if the checks were good. Having satisfactorily established their credit, no more checks were negotiated until afternoon Satur day and that night. Then the two apparently worked both sides qf Second street, the main street of the Dalles, for all the traffic would bear. Suits of clothes, half a dozen or more silk shirts, many neckties and" shoes were purchased in the clothing line. Checks were tendered and money was received in exchange. At a jewelry store one of the ' men purchased an expensive watch, tender ing a $100 check, which was accepted. At a furniiure store a bed was pur chased and ordered delfvered Monday. PAST RECORDS SOCGHT Three, phonographs were purchased with spurious checks, which were for $100 in each instance. Each check was honored.- The "purchasers" ordered all the phonographs delivered to the same address. ! Likewise, the pair rented rooms in three hotels and in a private home in the residential section. : When Adams was arrested and searched by the police, a roll of bills amounting to $273 was found in one of his shoes. Other money amounting to a consider able sum was found on Shannon, the police say. Both men are held in the county Jail without bail, .awaiting hearing Monday. They are charged with obtaining money by false pretenses. Efforts are being made to secure their past records. STORES FOOLED TWICE The arrest of Bricker and Adams comes immediately after the operations of a younfr pretty woman who signed checks as Miss Mary Wilson, last week, and obtained $90 on two of the principal department stores here. The fraudulent nature of ,, -these checks was ascertained Friday when no funds were reported at the bank on which they were drawn. Both of these stores, however, fell again for the operations of Bricker and Adams. Papers and a picture in Bricker's pos session, the police say. indicated that he was friendly with a young woman in Walla Walla, and they advance the theory that she may have cashed the first two spurious checks. f Marshfield Stores May Display Only Oregon Made Goods Marshfield, Jap. 17.

R. Pollock, superintendent, the hatchery has -been . enlarged to handle 15,00),00 eggs in place of 11, 000,000 handled last year.

The Steelheads will begin to spawn about the middle of January and the Silversides will continue until la'te in March. ; , i "As fast as they spawn the fry are placed in the retaining ponds and trie troughs are refilled with eggs. The f ishway is open at present j and many salmon find, their way out tj tHe Alsea river and' pass on into its j tributaries, which will insure an almost: inexhaust ible supply of fish for future years. "Although fishermen were rather skeptical about the good to come of the hatchery, their indorsement now is I unanimous, as the first run, which was : due five " years after establishing the i hatchery, swamped the canneries at Waldport, near the mouth of Alsea river, last season.

Russia; Big Chance, Says Moran 1 "It would be suicidal for the United S'tates to turn down billions of dollars worth of trade with Russia because of a desire to sit on the fence and preach morals," T. J. Felix Moran, Northwest ern representative of the Russian Ce ment company, declared Saturday. Moran says the United States govern ment is passing up the opportunity to se cure the trade of Russia, because of its policy denying recognition to the Bol shevik! regime, while England and other nations are wording hard to se cure the billions which Russians would turn to this country. "Russia, ljke China, prefers to give the bulk of her business to i the United States, and if this country ! would only accept that business Which could be done without recognizing the soviet gov ernment and. would work for and accept the trade of China, Japan and other, far Eastern countries, now offered, our un employment problem would be solved," in Moran's opinion.
