The proprietor of "Pelican Apiary," New 

 Orleans, La., is now in the Ohio Peniteni- 

 tarv, having been convicted of embezzle- 

 ment of trust funds in Cleveland, O., to 

 which place he was brought in November to 

 answer to a grand jury indictment. His 

 ical name is Harry A. Anderson, altho he 

 went under the name of J. M. Jenks in New 

 Orleans. He advertised bees and queens in 

 bee journals last April and May and swin- 

 dled a consideraVjle number of beekeep- 

 ers. He falsely represented himself and his 

 business references to Gleanings and other

 cal of the first water, and the longer he re- 

 mains in the penitentiary the better for so- 

 cietv.
