The following is th Journal story:
Myra Baney, "Queen of Women
Fakers" has been charged In the mu
nicipal court with working a bunko
game four years ago on Adam Dlller,
1230 East Salmon street, for $50. The
woman has gained considerable no
toriety the past few years by bring
ing personal injury' suits against street
railway companies, and by other
bunko games. She Is now on trial at
Vancouver, Wash., for attempting to
ret a sum of money from the railway
company there for an alleged Injury.
Dlller is a retired fruit grower, and
alleges the woman came to his home
May 15, 1906, and wanted to borrow
$50. She gave a mortgage on a horse
and buggy, cow and calf, and four
chicken Incubators. She drove to his
home in a livery rig, which she rep
resented was her property. The two
went to her home at 14 97 East Pine
street, where she showed hm the cow
and calf and incubators, and received
the money.
Just before the mortgage was due
Dlller discovered that the mortgage
was no good, and began a search for
the woman. She could not be found,
but was later located In Washington
anj was the plaintiff in a personal in
jury suit against the Spokane street
railway company.
Mr. Piller made the complaint this
morning to the district attorney and
a warrant was issued for her arrest
and she will be held in case the Van
couver case is dismissed. He says she
told him she wanted the money to ray
a physician's bill for a siok sister.
The woman has gone by several
names, but the most frequent one
used was Mrs. Johnson. Her method
of operation was to got injured on a
street ear, and brin;? suit. It has
also b-on discovered that the cow and
calf which she mortgaged to Dil'er
was also mortgaged .the previous day
to another man.

Consul-General to Sweden Is Great
Aid to Americans.
Stockholm. Americans who come
to Sweden, and who for business rea
sons come in contact with their consul-general
here, are unanimous in
his praise. Consul-General Winslow,
who has been accredited to Sweden
for about a year, is always ready 'to
advise American business men, and
as he speaks Swedish fluently, he Is
able to give them valuable assistance
in the business affairs. Consul
General and Mrs. Winslow also en

able to do on their large private
means, independent of the consul's of
ficial salary. The Winslows come from
Chicago and their daughter Is study

Edinburgh The budget has already
had its effect in making the Scotch
a soberer nation. Official statistics
published here show that s'nee the
higher duty was imposed on whisky
there has been a reduction of 2000 in
the number of arrests for drunken
ness. In other Scottish cities there
has been a similar diminution in al
coholic crime, notably in Dundee,
where last year there were 1864 ar
rests for drunkenness, compared with
2885 in 1908. These significant facts
seem to confirm the Scotchman's
reputation for carelessness In expendi
