FORGER HARDING IS HELD Skillful Opontor with Worthless Paper Finally Kun Down , MAN WHO WORKED OMAHA IN CUSTODY \'orUiv pmt Ti'rrllnry t'ollop Ovcrlmtil Him fur SM linlllimOiuriitloiii 111 Sinltliunit oilier PoliitN In This Country. Wont has been received In this city of the nrrcst at KcRlna , Northwest Territory , of Henry II , Harding , forger and bank swindler. This Information will bo received with con siderably satisfaction by various merchants of Omaha , for they have nn Interest In Mr. Harding to the extent of several forged checks which ho passed upon them. Tht > Immediate canst of the forger's arrest wan the swindling of Dexter , Ilorton & Co. of Seattle , Wash. , out of $7,000 upon Decem ber 10. As near as the local police can ascertain ilardlng first came to Omaha about Septem ber 27. Ho was accompanied by his wife and later was joined iby her sister , a Ilss Lewis. They took rooms on West Douglas street nnd Ilardlng said ho Intended to go Into 'the real estate business. On tha after noon of November 11 a man of medium liclght , evidently of Swedish parentage , pre sented a check for $750 for payment at the Commercial National bank. The check had the endorsement of C. E. Yost ot the Ne braska Telephone company and was drawn on the 'National Dank ot Commerce , Kan sas City , and purported to have been Issued by a prominent liquor firm of that city. Paying Teller Tnte engaged the man In con versation while another of the .bank . employes called Mr. Yost. He pronounced the en dorsement a forgery. During the Interim the man with the check grew nervous and befoie the arrival of the pcllco made his way out of the bank. The check Is known by the police to have been forged by Hard- Ing , but the man who presented It was only used as a catspaw. On November 23 a check on a bank In Memphis , Tenn. , for $23 , with the forged sig nature of 11. Lowensteln & Co. , ot that city , was used In ttade- with the Continental ClothIng - Ing company. It ns presented by a well dressed man about five feet seven Inches In iiolght , dark complexion and black mustache The check when presented for payment nt the Memphis National bink was protested and returned to this city. In the Interim Hardingas busy In other localities. An- othsr man answering an entirely different de scription them the one given succeeded In passing forged checks for ? 27.50 on the Hos ton store , cno for $19 on Kelly , Stlger & Co. , and another Dor $3.50 upon C. H. Forby , the trunk manufacturer. Some ot the checks were made payable on local tanks and were signed by E , H. Drown and C. D. Cook. The handwriting cti the check utcscntod at the Oommerclnal National bs > nk and others is Identical. Uefcre the police got wind ot the affair Ilardlng made his csccoe and was next heard ot In Seattle , Wash. WORK ON THE COAST. Ho arrived in the coast city and had no sooner been established than he went at hla old occupation. Ho gilnert 'the ' confidence of Cashier Van Tuylo of the Dexter , Horton & Co. banking firm , under the guise of being a wealthy real estate owner and investor ot Greenville , N. C. He transacted some little business with the bank and then deposited a draft for $8,000 upon 'Uio ' Pitt County banker or Greenville , and succeeded In having it credited upon his pass book. The next day Harding called at the bank and showing his pass book to the paying teller drew u check for $3,000 and succeeded In getting it cashed. He made some purchases at various stores in Seattle , which he had charged , and then telling his wife and Miss Lewis that ho was going to make a 'business ' trip to Vancouver for a fqw days he depaited on an evening boat. The following day another check calling for $4,500 was presented at the b nk of Dexter , Horton & Co. by the former proprietor ot the Kenlhvorth Inn , a fashion able hostelry of Seattle. Ho said it had been given him by Miss Lewis , a sister-in- law of Harding , who had purchased the property the day before. It was cashed and then for the first time the bank officials , beginning - ginning to think that all was not right , sent a telegram to the Pitt County bank. The draft was reported a forgery. Tlmo passed and Harding did not return. His wife and sister-in-law were Induced by the bank olllclals to turn over the property known as the Konlhvorth Inn as some recom pense for the payment of the $4,500 check and the odlcers were set on Harding's trail. December 17 word was recelred in Seattle n' the arrest of Harding In Regina , the capture being effected by the Northwest mounted police. He will bo placed on trial in Seattle for forgery and grand larceny. Harding appears to have led a swift caree * all over the country. He Is said to be wanted In Kansas City for various small forgerlra and also in Denver , where it Is known that he swindled the firm ot Wolf , Webb. . & Chit- tenden out of $400 , a Mr. Lawrence , con nected with a Denver tank , out ot $110 , and many others out of small amounts. Harding Is about 35 years of ago , about six feel high ? nd weighs In the neighborhood ot 200 ponds. He was torn and reared In the south and Is well connected. MUSIC FOIt KAILS 01' ' TIIK VICIOI'S.

The musi cians of Kansas City are endeavoring to dem onstrate the truth of the theory that good mut'lc has an uplifting 'influence upon hu manity In general , and that oven the most depraved human specimens may be reached. Yesterday forty ot the foreniCHt musicians of the city , all ot them members of the Mu slclans' unlcci , and meat of them members ot the Symphony orchestra , devoted several hours of their tlmo to the rendering of a classical musical program In the main hall ot the city workhouse , , where about 100 of the city's most degraded men and women , work house pr'aoiiprs , were congregated. There was no effort at speech-making , such aa prisoners- ore accustomed to hearlag. Di rector Carl Husch simply announced that the program would begin with Sonra'g direct , orate march , adding that he supposed all or those present knew about Souaa. Thin was followed uy an overture oy Biippe , the "Zenda" waltz , and several other composi tions of a nigh order , the program closing with Kretschmor'a coronation march. The prisoners , many of whom were sullen and sneering at the 'beginning ' , applauded the mu sicians vigorously at the close. End several were In tears , Two concerts will bo given monthly , one at the workhouse and one at the county Jail. Amrrli-nii lUlncntor COCH to China , STANFORD UNIVKHSITY , Cul , , Dec. 22.

Again and again have ttio Cubans proimilqatcd the law ' that nil tlio poico commissioners sent other wise than on the basis of Independence of Cuba should bo treated as spies and bo doilt with accordingly. Colonel Hulz not only knew of the existence ot llio law , but , according to the Spanish accounts , was sorsornlly warned ns to his fate. "General Blanco and Secretary General Congmto , tco , were well aware of the exist ence of the decree. Nevertheless these Utter took advantage of the Unfortunate Quixotism of Colonel Hulz and sent him to the Cubin lines. The blood of Colonel Hulz Is tint on the hands ot the Cubans , but upon the hradq of Ulaucn and Congcsto , wlio sent him to hU fate. If the penalty of the law had not been carried Into effect doubtless fiuln would Iwvo taken advantage of the fact to show that the Cubans were t.ot In earnest In their objection to autonomy , but were willing to listen to arguments. This decree waa not promul gated because Cubans are afraid of disaffec tion In their ranks , Mil because it Is known that Innumerable commissioners would other wise be sent nnd on their return make false statements encouraging the belief that pcaeo mlqht bo established on a basis other than Independence- . Such statements would only serve the Interests of Spain l gaining tlmo , with the resulting death of thousands , owing to the useless prolongation of , the war. "Besides the Cubans are advised that the Spanish are seeking to enter t'lo Insurgent lines with the purpose of assassinating the moro Important loaders. Documentary proof of this fact Is In our hands and v > n arn the more cautious \\hon wo remember that In 1ST ! ) General Illauco authorized General Polavlcja , In Santiago do Cuba , to garret IR many tin- armed Cubans as the latter thought ncpuvary as an example. "It Is somewhat remarkable thit with tln > first news of the deith of Colonel Hulz came the announcement of tne klllhig by the Spanish ot over forty sick and w > unde > l Cubans found In a hospital , and not n volco vas raised In iirotest thereat. The shooting of Cuban prisoners by the score | Msaed en tirely without comment. The thousands ot wounded Cubans slain In hospitals attractel but little notice Aoccvdlng to all Hie laws ot civilized warfare the Cubans from the be ginning had the right to retaliate In kind , but they never have done so. On the contrary all irlsoners taken by Kiem wore set at liberty and the wounded attended to. "Wo are denied by the entire world ntittn ns belligerents and we have to conduct the war as belligerents. The character of the Spanish demands , ho\\e\or , ttatvo take tlin ipcessary measures to ipcedlly terminate the war by convincing the world that Independ ence alnne can satisfy us. We accordingly sstiod a decree and solemnly warned Spain of Its enactment. If , des'jlte this warning , they persuade a man to be rsnli enough < - > como to us to treat on a hauls of autonomy we must either acknowledge that our laws emalno'l only to" be broken or bo eatupcllcd by a painful duty to cast them out.
