IN JAIL ON
BOGOSCHECK
A story of the adventures of
man with many aliases, which bear
a striking resemblance to some of th
many transactions In high finance n
manipulated by our former townsinar
O.eo. C’nppolle, is contained In an it
sue of the noise, Idaho, Statesmar
of January 10, and if we mistake no
the peculations described were th
work of the Cordovan, who has final
ly landed In jai! for buying a hand
some touring car with a bogus checl
on an Alaska bank. Here Is th<
story.
As a double-eyed deceiver, 8ldne
Chapelle, late of Toronto, Canada, ha:
' the celebrated ItafTles and all th<
j other gentlemen crooks of fiction, beat
en to a frazzle. Capelle has si
many aliases that few of his friendi
call him by the same name, but a
present he is registered under tin
above handle at the Hennepin conn
ty jail, Minn., awaiting trial on a for
gery charge.
Several weeks ago fhnpelle hit Min
neapolls with a loud metallic sound
He had money to burn and when lu
let the fact leak out that he was ii
the market for a high-grade motoi
car, Minneapolis dealers fe'l ovei
themselves to land his order. H<
was a critical buyer and the job wai
no easy one, hut one automobolie com
pany in Minneapolis finally landed hit
signature on an order for a six. Ir
payment the gentlemanly fiapelh
tendered a check on the Valdes Hank
of Valdez, Alaska. The check seemei
to be perfectly regular and was dulj
certified ns to Its validity. Chapelle'i
car was placed in condition for a loop
tour and the day after th" sale he
headed south. The check was noi
only found to be worthless, but the
forger had even faked the certification
At the request of the Minneapolis
j dealers the company notified all It?
ilealers to watch for the six with C'hn
1 pelle at the wheel. Within two weeks
I
| word was received from the Nnshvlllf
I agency that the car and driver verf
Identified and apprehended at thnl
city. In an Interview given out nl
the Minneapolis jail, Chapelle claimed
that he might hnve Raved hlmsell
hnd he disposed of he car, and he
told his story as follows:
"1 left Minneapolis the afternoon ol
November 15, and headed southeast
with the idea of going directly to
Ignilsvllle, Ky. Upon consulting my
> road ma|i, however, I came to the con
* elusion that a better route would hr
3 through Clinton, Iowa. Aurora 111.
* and UnPorte, Ind., thus getting thr
. benefit of better roads. I want to
- riay right here that I have driven n
. lot of high priced cars during thr
t past five years, hut this car was a
- revelation to me. In the ease with
■ which it took me over the roughest
- roads, through mud and snow and
t every rotton condition Imaginable. I
* averaged better than sixteen miles to
a gallon of gasoline during the whole
’ trip from Minneapolis to Nashville,
1 Tenn., where they caught me.
' “At I^aPorte, while i was having
the car filled with gaso'lne, a couple
1 of ‘fly cops’ came ‘mooching’ around
1 and examined the car carefully. One
of them remarked to the other that
' 'this car never came horn Minneap
olis as the tires do not show any wear
whatever.’ After some little con
versation with me regarding the
weather, condition of the roads, etc.,
they moved away, much to my re
1 lief.
“The trip from LaPorte to Nash
ville was uneventful except for a lit
tle hill-climbing contest which 1 en
gaged in at Frankfort, Ky. There Is
a hill about a mile long leading out
of Frankfort. 1 took five people up
this winding hill in high gear at a
speed not exceeding fifteen miles an
hour. One or two of the passengers
were so impressed by this perform
ance that they wanted to buy the car
on the spot, and I wish 1 had sold It.
I had become attached to It. howev
er, that I could not entertain the
thought of parting with it, and as a
consequence I am languishing here
awaiting the action of the grand Jury."

CHINA IS CONTRLLED BY
TWO GOVERNMENTS
PEKING, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—Although
the Manchu Imperial family still re
mains in Peking, maintains military
bodyguard and conducts its court, the
encrachmeuts of the Republican ad
ministration upon the Forbidden City
continue.
For some time only about one-half
of that vast enclosure which lies a
cross the center of Peking has been
reserved and ‘forbidden" for the boy
emperor and his retinue. The other
half, that to the south, has been con
trolled by the present government;
and troops of the Republic have been
quartered in the spacious halls where
the emisarles from dependencies kow
towed before the “Grent Ching" Mon
arch. The Republican administra
tion hap repainted these buildings
and cleaned up the court yards where
in the personages of the former spec
tacular regime covered their rich robes
with dust. #
Now the new government has op
ened this southern section of the pre
serves to any and every visitor who
cares to pay the Mexican dollar fee.
The charge is for admission to the
new museum, designed on foreign
lines, containing treasures from the
Manchu palaces nt Jehol and Mukden
ip Manchuria.
It is reported that the administra
tion has treasures (which are re
nowned throughout Europe and Amer
ica) which shall be in part sold to
collectors from abroad—Europe,
America and Japan— and that the
proceeds shall be divided between the
Republican government and the Im
perial family. It is proposed that
these articles, which are held in du
plicate, and also those of no historic
or antique value, shall be disposed of
to foreigners. The treasures com
prise largely gifts from minor princes
to Manchu monarchs, many being the
rare workmanship of ancient artisans.

WOUNDED IN
| '
PARIS, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—Since hos
tilities have settled down to a siege
along the rivers and canals of the
north, the average number of casual
ties per day seem to have lessened.
But the work of the ambulance de
partment is all the more hazardous.
Men who fell In pitched battles were
often lost In concealed places, but
what is worse now is that that they
often lie in 'plain sight obliged to
wait for hours, sometimes for days
Itefore It is possible for their com
rades to pick them up. It is often
too late.
When a man is wounded in the
trenches he is able to get back to
the field hospital, if he can walk; if
not he must wait until night because
the trenches are so narrow that the
stretcher berers cannot carry a
vtiiwiMi'Mi iimu immiu^u i iMMii; ne miiBi
be lifted out and carred back above
ground.
When a charge la made between the
linen of trenches and proves to be
unsuccessful, the wounded, of course,
must be left; and in too many cases
they are actually sacrificed and their
comrades obliged to see them lying
helpless between two fires. Some
times they Bee them raise a hand and
occasionally they hear their despair
ing cries, but to attempt to save them
is out of the quest'on.
Cases have been reported in which
men charging against barbed wire de
fenses and wounded in the attempt
have been left for days banging to the
tangled wires.
The chaplain of a French regiment,
describing the work of the ambulance
corps after a great battle, says;
"We had a long evening tour to
make as we were obliged to visit
the advance posts of Roselieres, Ke
menonvllle and Oerbvillers. With
out lanterns in order not to betray
our positions we advanced silently ov
er roads gashed by shells and deeply
rutted by heavy artillery. From the
hilltop we saw the ruddy glow of burn
ing villages.
"Here and there are flashes of light,
followed by the explosions of shells
and through the sky veritable fur
rows of fire. It was all that revealed
the sinster presence of hostile armies.
The silence was impressive at times;
cut only by the cawing of crows and
the report of artillery.
“We found Rozelieres; deserted, ru
ined: only a few houses still standing
and they were burning. Renonville
was unrecognizable. We found thir
ty wounded, but we could take only
ten of the worst.
"The road to Gerbevlllers, bordered
by tall poplars, runs along the Prus
sian lines; in daylight we should have
been wiped out.
"It was nearly midnight when we
reached the entrance to the village—
the theatre of the deadly combat for
ten days.
"The little hospital there seemed
asylum in hell; alone It stood in the
midst of the collapsed town, saved j
thanks to the presence of wounded
Germans. Ftuilt to accouimodale 30 ]
it sheltered 130 and reeked with the
odor of blood, powder and drugs; we
could take only thirty of the most se
rious cases. The task of sorting
them out was heartrending, they were
all in such sore need. As we started
out the shells began to fall again
thick and fast all around us and be
tween the roaring crashes we heard
the groans and supplications of the
wounded In the ambulances behind;
one crying constantly for 'Mother.' "
