FRENCH LOAN IN AMERICA

Fronch notes, the first war loan se

NO MORE WHARFAGE
CHARGES IN SEATTLE
That the wharfage charges by the
shipping companies at Seattle have
been abolished is made evident from
the following editorial statement of
the Railway &. Marine News:
“Those steamship companies abol
ishing all Seattle wharfage charges
are to be heartily congratulated for
the move, which cannot help but be
pleasing to the public. The qustion
of wharfage does not now enter into
the rate at all and in the future all
rates will be made without any refer
ence to this charge, a change which
has been eagerly sought by the Alas
kan public, as well as shippers, and
the charge has also been made the
subject of frequent attacks by the
political demagogue. Now that it is
wiped away is cause for good feeling
all around. It is a progressive step.”
MORE KRAUSE INDICTMENTS
JUNEAU, April 1. — Four indict
ments for forgery were returnd by
the grand jury at Juneau against
Edward Krause on Friday of last
week.
The first indictment charges that
on August 16, 1913, Krause forged
the name of Y. Yamamoto to an order
on the Dexter Horton Rank, Seattle,
! for $203,001. The order was drawn in
favor of Krause.
The second indictment charges that!
on the same date Krause forged the
same name in transferring Yama
moto’s account in the Dexter Horton j
Bank to himself.
The third indictment charges that
Krause on August 21, 1913, forged
Yamamoto’s name to a mortgage for
$2,000, made out in the name of
George Hartmann. The security for
the mortgage was two lots in Van
couver, B. C.
K. Yamamoto was the Japanese,
employed at the Olympic mine who
disappeared in 1913. It is alleged
that he was last seen in the company
of Krause.
In the fourth indictment it charged
that on October 27, 1915, Krause
forged the name of J. O. Plunkett to
a note to the custom-house telling of
the loss of the gas-boat Lue.—Ex.
