John wanamaker's Fraudulent
Stock.

Mr.. John Wanamaker-the Post
master, not the trade mark-seems to
be in a very ugly fix as the holder OF
over two thousand shares of fraudu-
lentIy issued stock of the Keystone
Bank. Mr.. Wanamaker a few days
ago madea plausible explanation as
to how he came to have them. This
explanation is now his chief embar-
rassment, for it was yesterday proven
to be untrue by the evidence of Mr..
Wanamaker's own broker and other
witnesses.
Briefly, this was Mr.. Wanamaker's
explanation. He embarked in 1887 in
a speculation in Reading Railway
stock in partnership with John G.
Lucas. President of the Keystone
Bank. Mr.. Lucas failed to supply his
share OF the cash, but Sent Mr.. Wanna
maker certificates of stock in the Key
stone Bank instead. Mr.. Wananaker
thought it natural. he said, that Mr..
Lucas, as president of the bank,
should own this stock, and therefore
he accepted it without a second
thought. Presently Mr.. Lucas died.
This is how Mr.. Wanamaker puts
it,
Upon several occasions. when l notified Mr..
Lucas that under our Agreem mt money was
nseded, he brought me stock OF the Keystone
Bark. which he requested me TO use In lieu of
the mouey, as it was not convenient for him to
furnish cash az the time. As q result when he
dsei / had in my possession s,3ib shares of the
Keystone Bank, 50 received by me from him.
Altar his death / found that he had not made
the deposits to my credit as he agreed, and that
my account stood 0verdrawn. When l diseoy.
efed this ! could not hnd any explanation, and
attributed it to some oversight. Immediately
made the account good by closing it with COM
mercial paper received in my business, which
was all duly paie.
Mr. Lucas, therefore, did not in reality furnish
a penny TO me for the purchase Of the Reading
stock that | bold, and all had for his share in
the operation was the certificates OF the stock
Of the Keystone Bank left with me as coliat-
eral.
1t Gems to as there is a flaw in this
statement at the very outset. II Mr..
Wanalnaker accepted the stock from
Mr.. Lucas in lieu of cash, why was he
surprised TO discover that Mr.. Lucas
had not deposited the cash to his
credit also? Did not Mr.. Wanamaker
trip just a trifle in that statement I?
But let that pass. Let us get down
to the revelations made yesterday
before the Investigating Committee
OF the Philadelphia Board OF Coun-
ellis. The fraudulent certificates were
produced and identified. When
Nos. 617 and 61S, for 200 and
225 shares respectively, were pro-
duced. they were found to be in favor
of Howard Spencer Jones. And who
is Howard Spencer Jonesg Why. he
is Mr.. John WanaInaker's private see
rotary. To say that this discovery
caused a sensation is to put the Ease
very mildly.
Then came Certificate No. SAT for
100 shares. This was issued to Edward
Erwin, and was dated January 80,
1859. Now, how did Mr.. Wanamaker
get hat certificate from Mr.. Lucas,
who died in August. 1888. Strange,
is it not? There were in all
certificates for 500 shares issued
after Mr.. Lucas died. Certificates for
100 shares were issued as late as Feb

PRINCE REPORTS.
New Mexico's Governor in Favor
of Statehood.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The annual
report OF Gov. Prince, OF New Mexico,
has been submitted to the secretary of
people of New Mexico gratefully recog-
nize the action of congress in passing
the land court bill for the settlement of
private land claims. No one but those
familiar with the subject, the report
says, can appreciate the advantage to
the future of New Mexico. In regard
to statehood. Gov. Prince says that the
constitution was submitted to vote bv
the people on Oct. Z, 1899, and it was
defeated by large majority. This
action on the part of the people,
the governor says, while peculiar,
does not indicate dsinciina-
ton to assume the condition of
statehood. he says that New Mexico
should not be kept III the subordinate
position of territory, for the reason
that she possesses the number of in
habitantS, the resources and the taxable
property.
The total assessed valuation of the
property of New Mexico i'll 1880 was
$40, 1919. S47, and of this 81. 972, l65 was ex-
empt from taxation under territorial
laws. The financial condition of the
territory. the governor says, is remark
ably good. On the subject of irrigation
the governor says there Is nothing of
greater Importance to New Mexico than
this. The future of the territory de-
ponds largely on. the increase of its
area of cultivated land through compre-
hensive systems of irrigation. The
mining industry throughout the whole
territory has increased in amount and
profit during the past year. The total
mineral product for 1890 was almost

Assessments on Reform School
Property to Be Paid.

Assessments on Reform School
Property I'd Be Paid.
In connection with the delinquent
assessments on the prope rty of the re-
form school for Improvements made by
the city, City Treasurer lieis stated yes
terday that, after considerable delay,
the assessments amounting to $4,000
would be paid. After the city bad
built Il number of streets and roads
through the property surrounding the
reform school, the trustees refused 10
pay the taxes on the grounds
that the property was state
property. Despite this assertion
the trustees plated the land and sold Il
number of lots to private persons.
When the treasurer was requested to
perfect the titles he refused to do so,
and mandamus proceedings were taken
in the district court TO compel the treas
urer to give the titles. A law was
passed by the last legislature that the
property of the reform school was not
exempt from assessments made by the
city for improvements. Treasurer Refs
has recently held nun er of consulta-
lions with Gov. Merriam, the result
being that the governor assured Mr..
Refs that the delinquent assessments
would be made within thirty days.

are selling. They would believe Dem
ocrat as quickly who would tell them
that tie bad weather in North Dakota
had been caused by the Mckinley tar
if. The farmers of Minnesota, In nine
cases out of ten. know more about the
workings of the tariff than the county
politicians who would be assigned to
The work of organization by the Repub-
licans. Aud then they are honest.
1t is small wonder that Chairman
Heatwole and his fellow members OF
the Republican state committee do not
want the campaign of 1892 commenced
fourteen months before the election.
The call to arms will come only too
quick for them.
They're After Judgeships.
For Congress. Sixth District-Jud &c D. B
Searle. of ST. Cloud.
For Governor of Minnesota-Judge l.. w.
Collins, of ST. Cloud.
This is the way certain ambitious
politicians around the Stearns county
capital are constructing Republican
ticket for next year, They are prin-
cipally lawyers, but they are Of the
ambitious kind, and. it is said, are figur-
ing for judicial positions for themselves.
If Judge Searle can be shelved by an
election to congress vacancy will be
made into which either Attorney Rey-
nolds or Taylor would be pushed. The
retirement of Judge Collins would pro-
vide place Oh the supreme bench for
| the loser.
But it is not the expectation of the at
torneys that both Judge Collins and
Judge Searle can be induced to accept
nominations for offices next year.
Both are being doomed in the hope that
one will bite. If Judge Searle should
go into the fight for congress there
would be vacancy created in the bench
of the Seventh judicial district which
would Lave to be filled by Stearns
county man. Were Judge Collins
named for governor. the st. Cloud men
would push Judge Searle for the va
cancy on the bench of the supreme
court, thus creating the much-desired
vacancy in the district court bench IN
| another way.
The question at st. Cloud is not so
much who will be sent to congress or
! elected governor as it is how can several
ambitious lawyers secure judgships?
