left Omaha Saturday night.
Tlioro nro Innumerable charges of forsor.v
ngalnst the nrcliltcct , nnd this U tlio cause
nscrlbcd for his sudden departure front the
city.
Friday afternoon Tun Ben published ox-
cluilvoly an nccount of Mr. Smith's slrango
actions In trying to dispose of a promissory
note for ( ' 'GOntn discount of $25. The note
bore tlio signature of Kmory A. Cobb ,
of the real cslato firm of Potter , Cobb &
Mclklo. It was mndo pavablo to pseudony
mous "Henry J. Stevens. " Mr. Smith tried
to sell It to Attorney Barnard , who nfnrm-
cd Mr. Cobb of the dual. Then was the llrst
tlmo that Architect Smith was suspected of
being a forger.
Ollirr rorgrrlr * Alleged.
Now It appears that Mr. Smith has forged
a score of notes , aggregating to thoamountof
about $2,000.
It transpired yesterday that ho had the
signature of Krnory A. Cobb on thrco notes
payable to ' . "Henry J. Stevens , " The llrst
notcfor ; $2150 , Is the ono nbovo referred to ,
nnd the two others are hold by John Dak1 ,
11 loanbrokcr and real estate dealer in
Iho New York Llfo building. Mr.
Dnlo simply negotiated the notes for other
parties. Knch Is for j'J50 and tnado pavablo
to "Henry J. Slovens , " endorsed by Sidney
Smith , whoso signature upon cluso inspec
tion boars a rosatnblancu to tbat of the
forged signature of Emory A. Cobb.
Hinted nt Suicide ,
In ono of his letters to Mr. Unlc. Smith trios
to explain matters and Intimates that ho
might possibly commit , suicide. Whether or
not ho has , Is a. question. Hut at all events
ho has disappeared and the Hoard of Trade
has taken possession of his ofllc < ) furnltuio. Ho
had an ofllcc on thoflfth Moor of the CUambor
of Commerce building.
In speaking of the forgery case Mr. Dale
told a reporter for Tin : Hit : thai ho had
never thought the notes bore forged sig
natures unlit ha road ilia urtiolo In Tin :
Bir. : Satjirday morning. Then ho was con
vinced and immediately \vont to scokMr.
Smitli. Mr. Dale gives tbu details of tbo
transactions as follows :
Itccn nt II u Year.
"About n year aj'o Smith came to my
house wo wnro neighbors to sco mo about
iiegoliatlng t\vo notes on Elmer Frank , cleric
of the United States circuit court. Ono
note was for $ 01 nnd the other for ? I7 , > . Ho
wanted mo to discount thuni. 1 asked him
him why ho did not discount
them at his " ban If , ns I know
ho was doing business at the b'irst National
bank. Ho explained to mo ttint ho was In
acbt to the bank nnd said , ns an excuse ,
that the bank would place them
to his credit , thereby ho would cct no money.
1 thquglit this was plausible. I know Mr.
Frank and knew that ho was good.
"Smith told mo that Frank was hard
pushed for money and that ho.
did not waul to injure Mi-
Frank's credit by noddling the notes to
everybody. I discounted the notes , nnd
later Smitli came and lock them up bcforo
they became duo.

"On January 15 , last , Smith again came tome
mo with two moro notes. Ono was dated
January in and xvas for ninety days for 8100 ,

dated December " 0 , 1SU1 , payable March -0

up , but a few days later Smith came back
nnd asked mo if I considered the
notes of Emory A. Cobb good lor J.100. These
were for S-'ol ) each , and made pavablo to this
man Horny J. Stevens , endorsed by Smith.
I told Smith that Mr. Cobb's notes were
very good. The signature of lliem I never
queslloned. In fuel I never dreamed of
iinythlng being wronp. I then discounted
thcso two Cobb notes , and 1 never
rcali/ed that they wcro forgeries until
I read Tun BII'S : expose of Smith's
action IQ tryinp to dispose of ono to Lawyer
Barnard. It struck mo in an instant that all
wcro forgeries. I wont to his ofllco at once.
Ho was not in.I loft word that I wanted to
co him. Later I again called upon and met
him at the foot of the elevator
In the Bourd of Trade building.
I called his attention to the article. Ho said
It was all right and that bo would fix mat-
tors. Ho told mo he had money in the bank
and I asked him for a check.
< ! : ivi- Worthless Clicclt ,
"Smith cave mo a check for 1250. When I
presented it the paying teller told mo that
Mr. Smith needed Just $ riU.OI to meet It. The
check was dated April 7 but was given April
D. 1 wont hack to Smlln's ofllco and found
the following letter :

"When I came down Monday morning I

It Is now said that Mr. Dale is the victim
of Smith's forged notes , although Mr. Dale
will not admit it. A Irlomt of his says that
ho will notncunowicdco being duped bucauso
ho has been conlldonced before and doosn't
like to appear In print ns ono of the "ono-a-

ulloviato his sufferings ns much us possible
jostordav by going to Smith's house , 1241
Boulh Eleventh street , aim taking possession
of Smith's ' famous piano , which was ono of
the central Humes in tlio lirs.t act of the
"Scrap of 1'apor" drama. This musical in-
Btrumonl xvas to ho traded , according to
bmlth's storv , last Friday to tbo Illustrious
Henry J. Stevens on paper for Cobb's note
nnd a Soutli Omalm lot. Ttio uoto was
"lo t , " but the piano Is a reality.
Mrs. Smith hurdly know what to make of
the proceedings of taking the piano , ana us
its possession was gotten without logul process -
cess the Instrument din not remain in Mr.
Dale's possession very long. It was ro-
plovlnod by Ucod & Sclby , real estate and
loan brokeis , who also have llvo of Smith's
notes. Hut these nro not forgeries. The
llvo notes aggregate fSlfi ono for $115 ami

Prom the Vclnsco World of April 8 :
jhmilttmoously with the pnssti'o ( of the

from now the commerce of half a conti
nent will continue to peek an outlet to
the markets of the world through this
Voting commercial giant until it has be
come the commercial and industrial
metropolis of Iho Gulf coast.
With the linn belief tlmt Captain

corning the mouth of Iho IJimos nnd

very interesting leading , a representa
tive of the World culled on him on board
Lho steamer this morning and was most
liospltably entertained.
Tno reporter asked the genial captixin
if lib was at all surprised to find the
present depth of wutor ever the bar nnd
Ills opinion of the river. The captain
bald : ' 'Indeed , I may say 1 was very
much surprised and highly delighted to
IInd such donth of water nt the mouth
of the river. I consulted my boolc , the
West India Pilot , issued several years
ngo by the Lords' Commissioners of the
Admiralty of London , nftor receiving
orders to proceed to Vclasco at the
mouth of the Bruzos , and found Hint
there wcro only eight foot of water ever
the bar. I naturnlly concluded that I
would bo compelled to load outside , and
I dreaded it. Imagine my surprise and
delight when I came inside the jetties
and ever the bur drawing 14 fcotO inches
at very low tide. A measurement dis
closed the fact that there was
at least seventeen feet of water
over tlio bar when 1 crossed it. As
Tar ns Iho river from the mouth to
Volasco is concerned , I never saw a
bolter in my life , and I liuvo entered
"
nearly nil the"porta of the world. The
rior is wider and in every way better
adapted to the needs of commerce than
the Tyne , tlio Thames , tlio Clyde or Iho
ports of Rotterdam or Amsterdam ,
which it very much resembles , but
wliich nro not nearly so nice to enter , so
convenient or so s1fo ; ns the I3razos.
Tlio dillcronco in favor of Volasco as n
safe nnd convenient port is as fifteen
against live.
"There obstructions
are absolutely no
tions to contend with. Wo came up the
river most of the way at full speed and
if a vessel should happen to strike the
bank at a bond it is impossible to hurt it
i n any way for they are all soft mud.
The width is not only greater than I
anticipated nnd greater than most of
the great ports of the world , but ii of
sullicicnt width to be eminently practi
cable for nil the commerce of this
great western country nnd possesses
possibilities for an immense trade.
Your banks all the way to the mouth
are as fine as I ever saw and you can
Liuild wharves from Volasco to the
Gulf and accommodate the shipping of a
continent. In so far as your sea connec
tions are concerned you are fixed as well
as any port on earth and all you need
now are the rail connections to bring
you the products for export and a grout
city at this point is absolutely assured. "
Thus talked a man who has boon over
all tlio world and been nearly every port
and whose judgment in matters of this
kind is as sound as that of any man's.
The Austerlit'/ was secured through the
enterprising firm of Rots , Ilo wo & Mor
row , ship brokers and ngonts for the
Gulf Ports Steamship Line , who have of
fices in New Orleans , Galvcston , Mo
bile , Ponsr.eola , and now , last but not
least , Volasco , anil who do perhaps tlio
largest business and handle more vessels
than any ether firm on the gulf coast.
The vessel is now being loaded with
cotton and the cotton will continue to ar
rive ever the Vclasco Terminal until hoi-
cargo is completed. Other charters for
vessel ? are now being arranged for and
cotton , grain and other products \yill
continue to leave Volasco for foreign
ports.

although much opposition was met with Horn
military .sources it booms that the Unlit ban

The reason given out In army circles for
abandoning the post Is that it is now Iho
