Humored
Charles Becker known to detectives
tlie world over as Uie king or forger
and to criminals ns the Dutchman
walked out of Sau Qucutlu Cnl state
prison the other day says a San Fran-
cisco letter to the Detroit NewsTrib
une after serving a seven year sen-
tence for the forgery of a 22000
check on the CroekcrWoolwortli Na-
tional bank of San Francisco which
was cashed at the Nevada bank Ills
term was reduced to four and a half
years by his good conduct
Becker has been a model prisoner
and has never betrayed the wild beast
that is under his calm exterior except
at times when he has talked of James
Cregan his pal who squealed He
has amused himself while In prison by
drawing designs for entertainment pro
grammes and otlior ornamental work
which shows plainly that his haud has
lost none of Its cunning
There was a report n few months ago
that the American Bankers associa-
tion would pension Becker liberally
when be came out of San Qucntln
from 12 to 22000 Frank S Scavcr
alias A II Dean was tho crook who
planned the Job
He came out here from Chicago in
December 1S95 and with him were
Becker James Cregan of New York
and Joe McCusker
Dean had about 2500 He opened
an oilce In this city deposited most ot
his money In the Nevada bank drew
small checks made new deposits andj
In n skillful way became known to the
bank olllccrs t
Then he went to Woodland near the
state capital and bought n twelve dob
lar draft from the Bank of Woodland
drawn on the CrockerWoolworth bakta
of San Francisco and It was turned
over by Cregan to Becker who In flV <
days altered the date and raised
amount from 12 to 22000
Or Dec 17 Dean deposited this drafj
Ot the Nevada bank to his credit n
on tho following day drew a ch
BJrins > Jrfjr 220tWarid received
entlro amount In cash
Tho forgery was only discovered it
he end of the month when the Crock
orWoolworth bank sent its monthly
account to the Woodland bank By
that time the spoil had been divided
among tho four men and they had
scattered
Dean and McCusker wcro soon
caught in Minneapolis nnd Becker and
Cregau were arrested In San Francisco
The latter were released as no charge
could bo made against them They
were preparing to go to Guatemala
when Dean who had made a vain ap-
peal < o Becker uud Cregau for more
money to hire n lawyer confcs ed to
Captain ot Detectives Lees Qf this city
Thereupon Becker and Cregan were
arrested in Newark N J and were
taken to San Francisco for trial Mc
Cusker was acquitted as nothing could
bo proved against him Dean turned
statos evidence and Becker and Cre
gan on the first trial were convicted of
forgery and sentenced to life terms
On the second trial the Jury disa-
greed and on the third Cregan squeal-
ed and was allowed to go free Beck-
er saw that the game was up and
pleaded guilty with the stipulation
that he was not to get more than seven
years Imprisonment The court kept
faith with him
Becker is proud of his skill as a
draftsman but it was only an accident
that made him a forger lie was born
in Germany and came to New York
with his parents when he was ten
That was in 1STT
He developed so much skill at school
with pen nnd pencil that he was ap-
prenticed to an engraver no soon de
veloped great skill but the criminal
was in him for he was in love with a
girl and lie forged a check to buy her
an engagement ring
His father was able to square this
and becauw of his youth he escaped
prison But his sweetheart dosertcd
him his sister whom he loved died
and he consorted with a gang of des
pernio criminals His first exploit was
In 1S72 when with Joe Elliott ho suc-
ceeded In robbing the Third National
bank of Baltimore of 150000
Becker fled to France where he met
the very girl for whom he forged a
check to buy a ring She had married
a rich Jeweler but Becker induced her
to elope with him and together they
went to Turkey where Becker and
several others including Joe Chapman
of Loudon spread forged paper In
many cities and cleaned up a large
sum
They were caught nnd placed In pris-
on put all escaped except Chapman
who was basely deserted by Ids pals
Becker returned to New York In 1S70
and married a Brooklyn girl who has
remained true to him ever since In
1877 he robbed the Union Trust com-
pany of New York of 04223 by one of
his famous forged checks nnd was
caught with Ills pals He slived him-
self by turning stales evidence Then
he went abroad and left a trull of
forgeries hi Italy
ICE CREAty IN MIDOCEAN
Bttr Ocean Liners ire Unpolled With
Thl Froren Deltcaoy
M6neof tho things most surprising to
travelers by tho big ocean liners who
areTerogslng the Atlantic for the first
ttoe latiie daily appearance of ice
cream on the dinner table The frozen
delicacy of which Americans are so
fond seems more naturally associated
with dining on land than at sea al-
though there Is no reason why It could
net be manufactured on board one of
the modern floating hotels As a
matter of fact however the ice cream
that is served delightfully fresh and
cold to a shiits passengers in midocean
is not iBide on board but Is carried out
from port like thousands of tons of
other fresh food supplies in special re
frigerating compartments
Twentyflvo years ago tho Idea of
serving ice cream to passengers on
shipboard would hare seemed prepos-
terous to even the most progressive
steamship manager In those days
ocean travelers were lucky if they got
a plentiful and well cooked supply of
vjjpat may be counted the necessities of
lite and Ice cream must be rated as a
luxury even ashore The fact that ev-
ery ocean liner now carries it In enor-
mous quantities Is an Indication of the
point to which the luxury of ocean
travel lias been carried All that is
needed for the voyage across the ocean
and back again is taken on at New
York or Boston or Philadelphia or
whatever American port the vessel
sails from
The amount of this dainty that is
deemed necessary to supply a big ocean
liner for a round trip is astonishing It
but James It Branch secretary of the varies of course with the season and
association denied this as he said the I the volume of travel but at no time
association depended upon Its detec doe3 Jt fnl1 mucn below 500 quarts on
tlves to protect its members and not nDT one of tuc larger vessels and In
upon subsidizing criminals midsummer when travel Is at its
The crime for which Becker has Just eight and when ices naturally are
paid by four and a half years in San mos appreciated the regulation
Quentlu was tho raising of a check amount for n ship like the New York
or the Philadelphia or the St Louis is
from 1500 to 2000 quarts and some-
times even more As the time actually
spent in the voyage across and back Is
twelve days this means that on the av-
erage about 150 quarts of Ice cream Is
consumed every day on each of the big
Atlantic liners In summer time It Is
easy to compute that this amounts to a
verjtabla mountain of frozen sweetness
t fiite course of n season nnd the year
l y ce cream bill of one of the big
Urtqgmshlp companies would provide
SB ot us with several trips to Europe
VVHeoEhtortabIy It Is said that not
hsn 150000 is spent every season
one Item of supplies by tho
p merger alone
wily docs America supply nil the
m consumed by Atlantic voy
but it frequently happens that
exported from this country to
at public banquets and pri-
ors In London nnd even on
gavo
ih head of the White Star line
a large dinner party In England
recently ho ordered a special supply of
Ico cream from New York for his
guests and the same thing was done
by jJohn W Gntcs in London last sea
sod So the American invasion of Eu-
rope is not only nn Invasion of ma-
chinery and beef and grain nnd elec-
tric railways but Is coming to be an
lco cream Invasion as well

Mrs Adolf Ladcnburg Is going to con-
duct n sales exchange and boarding
stable at her country place on the
Hempstead plains opposite the Mead
owbrook club house says the New
York American Last fall she import-
ed a string of horses which she bad
purchased In England while hunting
there
Not wishing to take them back with
her last spring Mrs Ladcuburg offered
them for sale with such good results
that the Idea of going Into the business
presented Itself not that she neededthe
money Mrs Ladeuburg Is a mllll
aircss several times over but because
she found that she was a veritable Da-
vid Ilnruin at boree swapping nnd the
pastime fascinated her
That Mrs Ladcnburg is well equipped
for tho business in horse knowledge
will not be disputed as she Is consid-
ered ono of the best Judges as well as
riders of horses In this or any other
country
London Fofenvr Defeat
Gynparathely littlo Interest was
taken in the second race for the Amer
icas cup In London says the London
correspondent of the Now York Trib-
une Londoners were fully prepared
after the poor display by the Shauirock
on Saturday for unother Itclluncc vic-
tory and there was consequently
scarcely any excitement when the spe-
cial editions of the evening papers
were published announcing the result
of the contest The English people
have quite lost faith in the Shamrock
and are now almost prepared to admit
that It is not possible to build n yacht
In the United Kingdom that can ever
expect to bring the much loved cup
back across the Atlantic
