How Englishmen Are swindIed.

CEpAR RAPIDS, Ia, Sept. 7.-[Special
to THE BEE. IA sensation was created
here this afternoon by local paper publish
ing an article entitled ga great swindle," in
which the details were given of feecing
young boys out of sums OF money varying IN
amount from S3 80 to $500 for the privilege o
working year in this country on a farm.
There are in this city more than score who
have been duped by English firms IN this
way, and have been placed by the local
agent here. Being ashamed of their
verdancy, they have never mentioned the
matter, and it was only through the confes-
sion of Percy Cook, a young boy ten years
old, who was recently placed, that the whole
matter came to light. The article gives the
names of twenty young men in various lu-
crative positions in this city who came to this
country under the impression that they were
to become gentlemen farmers in year with
Utopian results. 1t may be source of sur
prise that intelligent people as these boys
are might be so readily deceived, but in Eng
land farming is conducted on very differ
ent system than that prevailing here, and the
profits are very much smaller. In many
English families where there are a number
of children, it is very natural to crafty the
ambition of one or two sons who wish to
emigrate to this country, and the bait of
comfortable homes ard watchful surveillance
held out by these firms naturally prove
tempting.
The firm of Ford, RaJhbone & Co., with
headquarters at 81 Finsbury pavement, Lon
don, E. c., England, is the one which has
duped the most of these boys. 1t commenced
operations in 1880 and II undertakes to pro
vide practical instruction in farming in
Canada the United States of America and
Tasmania for gentlemen's sons VINO can pay
from ESQ to ESQ.," their agents inducing
these boys to believe that they were TO have
a delightful time, with little work and much
sport This is the impression given them
and they came only to fiud that they had the
hardest kind of work and total absence of
luxuries which they had been led to expect.
In every case they were given to believe
| that they were to learn farming, as gentle
| mems sons, taking life moderately easy with
horses to ride, etc.
The sensational part of the expose, how
| ever is the legal phase of the matter. United
| States Commissioner Hobbs, of Dubuque,
| has been appealed to by Deputy United
| States Marshal l.. NJ Healy, of this city,
who has been inquirlng into the matter, and
| the commissioner, after carefully looking up
| the law, has declared the business TO be a
| violation of the contract labor law, each in
| frngement of which Is subject to fine of
| not less than $500 1t is understood that the
| marshal will take legal steps in this matter
against the local agents who have been re-
ceiying fees for finding places for the boys

Tascott Caught Again.

CHICAGO, August S.-A special from La
redo, Tex, gives a description of the sup
posed Tascott, under arrest there. 1t tallles
more closely with that Of the much sought
fugitive than any previous capture. The
prisoners appearance corresponds exactly
with the description contained in the circular
issued by the relatives Of Smell, the million
aire for whose murder Tascott Is wanted.
The scars on Tascotts elbow and legs have
counterparts on the Laredo man. and though
there is no gold in the prisoners front teeth
d cavity, which had once been filed, is there.
His arrest grew out OF the suspect knocking
at the sheriff's residence and asking for
something to eat. The sheriff noticed the
similarity to Tascotts description, ard after
questioning the young man subsequently
put him under arrest The prisoner was in
duced to write few words, and his hand
writing strangely resembled the fac simile
of Tascotts chirography. The sheriff has
forwarded a photograph Of the prisoner to
Chicago.

vice for newspapers (eyen the special rates TO

mitted for the government. A
special of 1.500 words would mako
fifty government messages OF 30 words
each, each message requiring separate
checking, backing, numbering, routing, en-
veloping and special delivery. We often
have special news report OF 5000 words or
more, equal to over one hundred and sixty
six messages of thirty words each, whilst
but about seven words, including the address
and signature. In my statement that for
messages transmitted and delivered TO a sim
gle address, the government was
reduced rate, / distinctly excepted
the service for the newspapers, arrange
ments with railroads and transportation
companies and the distribution OF CONNER
cial news reports. 1t Is not true that this
company gives the large papers Of New
rate Of a cent per word and night rate of
IA cent per word. That rate applies only
between New York, Philadelphia and Wash
ington. Nor IS IL true that this company
lower rate than it gives the small papers of
the large cities or the small papers OF the
small cities. The press rate, which
is based on our commercial rate,
Is the same to every paper
in the same city or town, great or small,
81 per year or 100000.
It Is not true that the patronage from the
press is the most profitable we have. There
is little or no profit on the regular service, as
service, and it would not add to our profit
if the rate was made still lower.
However, as it is based on
our commercial rates, It necessarily ,s re-
duced with it. The question of our press
rates has been much discussed with the press
n having leaaed
which they operate t 4emselves, are quite as
familiar with the cost Of like service IN
other cotnuries, and it was found and ad-
mitted that the press rate of this country,
considering distances, is the lowest OF any
country in the world and is the most liberal
in its application
On the signal service reports since 1872
the rate has been reduced, as in the case of
other government service by heightened CIR
cuts. Until about 1854, the circuit for sig
nal service paying three cents per word was
counted as u practical working circuit. A
compound circuit requiring the use OF re-
peaters, as from New York to Milwaukee,
with drops was charged and paid for as two
circuits or at the rate of six cents per word.
So also were circuits from New York to
Eastport, Me-, and from Cincinnati to New
Orleans, whilst the circuit from Chicago to
San Francisco was rated as four circuits, or
IL cents per word. San Francisco to San
Diego and San Franciscoto Olympia, w. T.,
were each rated and paid for as three cir
cults, or 0 cents. ,.
The sum of it all is that the government
has given us nothing that was of any value
to retain.
If the government had paid us during the
past several years the rates stipulated by
contract with the Associated press on news
dispatches bearing one address the aggre-
gate revenue for government service would
have been larger than it was at the rates the
government paid. ! have the honor to re-
main very respectfully yours,

Among those from whom letters have been

were sentenced TO death. Such an express

the home office meeting was tho uncond-

her three companions. MacDougall sug-
gests the same action In the May brick case
