Accusation Arises Over Forged MacArthur Checks In Manila
E C Lawrence a former private in the Thirty third infantry and later a civilian clerk in the adjutant general office is charged with forging Captain Slavens signature on checks intended for General Mac Arthur. Forged endorsements on the backs show MacArthur to Shafter and to Lawrence. Two $200 checks were cashed in San Francisco and another at St Louis was returned as spurious. Lawrence suspected of further forgeries as insurgents attack Laguna province village Napa. A private of the Eight Infantry was killed. three American soldiers died near Pasacon in South Camarines with a native scout captured. General McArthur orders civil departments to prepare reports for his final file. A bill to create a new weather bureau would subsidize the Jesuit observatory in Manila with director salary $2,500 and power over archipelago bureaus subject to civil service rules. Bishop Is Not To Be Tried.
