On July 22 Thorn. Capel. a gardener and
florist at 1279 Bust Pieroe street, paid
Charlea Hsyes, on of his employe, the
wages which were due him. Hayes had
W coming to him, and Capel lave him
a check on Ihe first National bank for
the amount. Yesterday Capel (Uncovered
thai Hayes had used this check ss a copy
to forge, his name to at least four checks
for similar amounts. The forifery of Ca
pel's signature was so well executed that
the four checks were paid by the First
National bank without question when pre
sented by the persons who had cashed
them.
The first Intimarfen that Hayes had
forged Capel' a name io checks came In a
telegram to Major O. H. Richmond, chief
of police, fr om Michael Regan, superin
tendent of police at Buffalo, N. T., which
was received here yesterday morning. The
telegram read:
Charles Hayes arrested. Forged checks

your city. If wanted, procure requisition
papers. Wire answer.
Capel, on being notified by the police.
looked through his bank book and the
cancelled checks which he had received
from the bank only last Saturday, and
found four checks, each for (6, made pay
KDie to riayes, wnicu he at once pro
nounced forgeries. Capel uses a check of
pink paper, with "Thomas Capel, Green
house, 1270 East Pierce Street" printed on
the top. The forged checks were on white
paper without this printing. Each check
was for , and was a copy, even to the
number and data of the check which Capel
gave Hayes In payment of his wages.
The checks had been cashed by S. Adrian,
M. T. Sullivan, Ed Murphy and J. W.
Erwin, and by them deposited In the
course of ordinary business in the bank,
Wheje they were accepted without ques
tlon. Adrian, Sullivan ' and Murphy are
saloonkeepers, but the police had not
learned yesterday who J. W. Erwin Is.
How Hayes came to be arrested In But-
falo, N. Y., or how it . was known there
that he had forged the checks here, Is
unknown to the local police, nothing as
to this being .contained In the telegram
received by Chief Richmond. '
Capel will file an Information against
Hayes today, and the matter of procuring
requisition papers and bringing Hayea back
to Council Bluffs will be turned over to
the sheriff today by the police. Hayes,
wno is said to be a young man, worked
for Capel about two months as a garden
nana, ana nothing la known here about
his antecedents. He is said by the police

POLLOCK DIES 51'DDESLY
Brick Mason Falls From Car and Is
Dead When Picked Up.
Within a few minutes after leaving the
family of his old-time friend. Charles A.
Wendlandt, with whom he had taken
supper, at 1021 South Main street, last
evening, August Pollock, a brlckmason, fell
from a northbound street car and was dead
when picked up.
Pollock, after leaving the Wendlandt
place, boarded a northbound car at the
corner of Main street and Eleventh avenue.
Four blocks further, as the car reached
Seventh avenue. Pollock, owing to the
crowded condition of the car, had been
obliged to stand oh the rear platform near
the -top step, was seen to lurch forward
and fall from the ear. When picked up
Pollock was found to be dead. Blood was
pouring from his noseband mouth and
subsequent examination by City Physician
Tubbs, who was summoned, showed that
the man had suffered a fracture of the
skull at the base of the brain. Dr. Tubbs
gave It as his opinion that Pollock's death
was due to a stroke of apoplexy or hear
failure, which caused him to fall from the
car, and that he was dead before he struck
the pavement.
The body was removed to Cutler's under
taking rooms, but It was some time before
it was Identified as that of August Pollock.
The first Identification waa made by Henry
Adolphson, a driver for the John Beno
company, who notified Mr. Wendlandt, and
the latter made the Identification complete
Pollock, who was a native of Germany,
was about 63 years of age. He was
widower, his wife having died several years
ago, and he made his home with hi
daughter, Mrs. Charles F. Green, who lives
on a farm near the Flumer settlement In
Lewis township. Until a few years ago
Pollock lived on a small farm south of
Lake Manawa. 4
Arrangements for the funeral have not

OWA FRUIT CROP IS HURT
Condition it Beported Growing Worse
m Season Advances.
EABXT FROST STOPS MATURITY
fir' are Also Damaged Br Mildew
According to State Horttraltar
1st Demar for Parola
Board.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Dt.8 MOINES. la., Aug. S. (Special.)
The fruit crop of Iowa is growing gradu-
lly worse Instead of better, according to
the monthly report by State Horticulturist
Wesley Greene, whose report will be Issued
tomorrow. The condition Is explained by
Mr. Greene as due to the frost In the early
part of the summer, which prevented com
plete fertilization. Much of the fruit for
this reason keeps dropping off before It be
comes matured. There Is a very sharp de
cline In the conditions during the last
month. The report, with the comparison
with last month, Is as follows:
This Last
Month. Month.
Summer apples 47 54
I- an apples 48 67
Winter apples 44 63
Pfars 23 2
American plums 82 46
Domestic plums 1 27
Japanese plums 11 13
Grapes 9 7
The decline In the condition of grapes Is
not due to the same condition as affected
the fruit. In the case of grapes the de
cline Is due to mildew and other causes.
The outlook for fruit at this time Is con
sidered one of the poorest the state has
ever had.
Demar for Board of Parole.
John Demar. ex-representative from Davis
county. Is the latest suggestion for mem
bership on the Board of Parole, to succeed
Dr. Emmert. Demar la a young lawyer.
He has been admitted to the bar since his
election to the legislature. Formerly he
taught school. Some are arguing thaf there
should be a lawyer on the board. Senator
Berry, one of the members. Is a lawyer, and
on one occasion at least he had to write
both the minority and the majority report
and recommendation to the governor. It Is
claimed, for this resson. If for no other.
the other member should be a lawyer. Gov
ernor Carroll has been out of his office
for a week and there has not been the
slightest indication of what Ms intentions
were In the matter.
Tonrs Lakes With Microscope.
Wesley Greene, state horticulturist. Is
planning a tour of the lakes of Iowa with
a microscope, In order to make a study of
the insects that Inhabit them. Especially
will he take the scum from stagnant pools
and lakes In an effort to learn If there
are any Insects there that are Injurious to
trees or that develop Insects injurious to
the horticultural Interests of the state. He
will prepare his findings In the form of a
treatise.
Women's Day at State Fair.
Thursday of the state fair week will be
woman's day. . The day was set apart today
by Secretary Simpson of the agricultural
department and on that day the equal suf
fragists of the state will make their demon
stration and give their parade. It will
probably be a regular fixture of the fair
program in years to come.
After Secretary Wilson, .
Secretary Wilson will probably attend the
next meeting of the Association of State
and National Dairy and Food Commission
ers, which will be held In Denver about
August 23. At the last convention there
was some adverse criticism of the secre
tary's rulings on some points. This criti
cism was headed off by his friends, though
It is claimed that employes of the Agri
cultural department at Washington sat In
the meeting and made no effort whatever
to stop the criticism. This year the friends
of the secretary propose to have him there
and he will probably set himself right
with the food and dairy commissioners of
the country- On Ills return he will take
In the Iowa state fair the following week.
Child Probably Will Live.
The 11-months-old babe of John Bredlmus
that was Injured In an automobile accident.
being thrown to the pavement and Its skull
probably fractured, will probably live. It
was taken to a hospital, but because of Its
tender years It was difficult to ascertain
how badly It was Injured. Careful nursing
has Improved Its condition so that it is
believed It will live.
Bank Clearings.
Creating house totals show for last week
another big increase of I67B.146.79 over the
corresponding week, amounting to $3,265,011,
compared with 12,679,764.21 for the same
week last year. The clearings for each day
last week follow: Monday, SJ47.91.64; Tues
day, S592.178.79; Wednesday, S547.8S0.09;
Thursday, $440,314.25; Friday, $562,696.97;
Saturday, $674,783.38.
Lemonade for Tenants.
Tenants of the Citizens National bank
building in this city Saturday drew lemon
ade from the faucets. It was not circus
lemonade, but genuine good lemonade. The
new refrigerator system of the building
was being tested and lemonade waa put
through It as a surprise to the tenants.
They were all pleased with the surprise.
