FOR JAS. E.
James E. Hughes who has been
acting in the capacity of solictor of j
advertising for the past two months.
will probably face a charge of ob
taining money under false pretenses
If the local officers are successful In
running him to earth. The specific
act of which he is accused Is the pass-
of a worthless check for $10 upon
J. Mozier, one of the proprietors of 1
the pool room near the Bowman Hotel
This he did last Wednesday night, fill
ing out a check on a Boise bank and
signing a flcltious name, that of J. E.
Traveers. At that time he told Mr.
Mozier that he would come around
the next morning and take up the
check, and upon his failure to do so,
the officers were notified. Investiga
tion revealed the fact that on Wednes
day night he had purchased a ticket to
Walla Walla and a search Is now be
ing conducted for him.
That is not the first offense of this
nature of which Hughes has been
guilty in this city. Several weeks ago
he passed six different worthless
checks on the same bank but in these
instances he signed his own name.
Two of these checks were passed upon
W. A. Brown, proprietor of Hotel Pen
dleton, one upon the Bowman Hotel
one upon Martin Anderson, one upon
Koeppen Bros, and one upon Fay
Adams, proprietor of one of the local
houses of 111 fame. The officers were
notified at that time when the checks
were returned from the Boise bank
with the information that Hughes
had never had an aceount with that
Institution, but upon the representa
tion of Hughes that hla father had
promised to forward some money to
that bank and that it was with the
belief that this had been done that he
had drawn the checks, no prosecution
was undertaken with provision that he
make the checks good with cash. This
he finally did and the matter was
dropped, although the officers enter
tained serious doubts as to his honesty
These facts were known to quite a
number of people at that time but
were not published because of the pos
sibility that the man might have been
innocent of any criminal Intent. How
ever by his last act, he has forfeited
all claim to clemency and has demon
strated that he not only Is a crook but
a man habitually used to practice
fraud.
At the time Hughes came to this
city to accept his positing as an ad
vertising solicitor, he was touted as
being "one of the best known men in
the advertising business in America."
It was stated that he had held "execu
tive advertising positions on a large
number of the biggest and best east
ern papers and has now decided for
the next year at least, to associate
himself with a western paper." In
the light of recent developments, the
officers are Inclined to believe that he
is better known for something else
besides executive advertising ability
and are busy tracing his past record.
While a complaint has been against
him, no formal charges have yet been
filed, but it is probable that the mat
ter will be taken up with the grand
Jury.

TOO MANY GERMAN WOMEN.
This Fact Disquieting to the Kaiser
and Others.
Berlin. According to official fig
ures of the census return taken on
December 1. the population of greater
Berlin now numbers 3,712.554 inhab
itants. The predominating feature of the
results of the census is the revelation
of the growing preponderance of fe
males over males In Germany. The
complete results of the census have

as the returns go they show an alarm
ing Increase of the disproportion be

ing degree. There Is a deep rooted
Idea In Germany, which, as Is well

sphere is the home, and that It is the
destiny of tho females to seek a mate
and find her happiness In the up
bringing of her children.
