ONTO THEIR SCHEME.
Police Unearth an Elaborate Plan
of SWindling.

OilCe CnSdftn an ELABORATE 1lan
of Swindling.
ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The police have
unearthed a unique and elaborate sys-
TEN of swindling that has been success
fully practiced in st. Louis and other
Western citiS by an organized gang of
San Francisco confidence men, and the
arrest Of Henry Hoffman and Bert Bray
mer yesterday afternoon will involve, SO
the police claim, the proprietor of the
best and wealthiest pawnbrokerage
establishments in San Francisco
and a reputable attorney at King
fisher, Oklahoma. 1t appears that
is to play the Sipated-vouth-and-
ad-to-leave-hOme" racket and present
to some well known and wealthy person
pawn ticket bearing the name of Ed
Ii. LichenStein, of San Francisco, for
some costly article and ask for a loan"
on the ticket, which, after the glib
takers are through with their story, is
generally forthcoming. Hoffman and
Braymer were given tWenty-four hours
to leave town yesterday. 1t was at first
supposed that they were working indie
pendently, but letter from the sheriff
OF Bellevilie shows that there is gang
of them in this vicinity, and letters
found on their person indicate that the
gang is well organized and apparently
we'll supplied with pawn tickets. An
unmailed letter found In Braymer's
pocket, addressed to Lichenstein, would
indicate that he is concerned in the
SWlndle. K. j. Kester, the Oklahoma
attorney, is concerned in so far as he
advises members of the gang as to the
movements of the others.

PrOpOSe to Resign.

on good authority that Secretary Proctor

immediately. His return from the West

reason III addition to his desire to see
the president before the latter starts
Oh his Western and Southern tour. He
will resume the discharge of the duties
of his Office when he returns to Wash
ingtOn. But if Gov. Page, during the
adjournment of the Vermont legis-
lature, which does not reassemble until
a year from next autumn, should con-
clude 10 appoint Secretary Proctor to
theUnited States senate to fill the vacan-
cy caused by Senator EdmundS' retire
ment, it is stated by the same authority
that the secretary will accept the ap-
pointment. This action is not likely to
be taken until next fall, and meantime
Secretary Proctor will doubtless con-
tinue to be member of President Har-
rison's cabinet.

invalid for several years. and about
year ago planned to murder her chill
dren and suicide, but her plans
were discovered and frustrated,
alter which she was adjudged insane,
and taken TO the asylum. But on this
occasion her plans were very complete
and horribly successful, everything be-
ing favorable. Before the children, a

Arrest of Capt. Loar.
SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 9.-This place
Is in a fever of excitement tonight
over the arrest of Capt. Loar and his
deputies on the charge of murder. The
suits are the outcome of the Norwood
riot. Early this morning James Nc
Bride and Robert Wood, two leaders,
appeared before Justice Eicher and
swOre out warrants for the arrest of
Capt. J. a. Loar, of Company E, NC. P:
Harry Wilson, Richard Burns, Lewis

from reaching the strikers. A large
crowd gathered, however, and the side

ants waived hearing and commitments
were taken out, on which they VIII be
removed to Jail tomorrow morning. The
feeling among the strikers against Capt.
LOar and his deputies is still very high,
and it is probable for these reasons that
they were taken to the Eighteenth
regiment camp, where they will be care
fully guarded until daybreak. Nobody
was admitted to the 'sQuire's Office save
Secretary Parker and the newspaper
men. The defendants say they are not
worried over the ultimate outcome of
the suits, but expect it would neceSsi-
tate considerable trouble. After the
hearing they were marched to the
Eighteenth regiments quarters, where
they are being cOnSoled by their COM
radeS. At the 'Squlre'S Office it was
again wired that Capt. Loar did not give
the command to shoot, and that evil
dence would be advanced before the
courts. Officer Gay says that Loar at
first demonstrated against arrest on the
grounds that he was now serving the
state, but finally waived his objections
when convinced that he was wrong On
reaching Greensburg tomorrow efforts
will be made to secure writ of habeas
corpus for them.
Judge Reyburn will preside over the
courts. The two soldiers who were tried
for disorderly conduct this afternoon
were dismissed by Mayor Rays on pay
ment Of s. fine each. The district at
tOrney of Greensburg is blamed by
strikers as being Instrumental in fixing
bail, and it was this bail question that
led to the sudden rearrest of LOar and
his deputies. SQuireS Keener and Nc
Caleb, who released them on $500 on a
charge of murder and held the strikers
in $1,000 bail, say they used their own
Judgment, which the strikers say is self
evident.

of the society were forced to provide
money, food and clothing for the chief,

the examination the prisoners hurled
such epithets as assassin" liar" and
''rascaE' at the informers, who protest.

BIG GUNS.
Ordnance Officers Laying Plans
For Notifications.

WASHINGTON April 9.-The ordnance
officers at the war department have
been earnestly at work for weeks past
preparing to give effect to some of the
more important provisions of the fortifi-
cation appropriation act, which will 20
into operation after June 80. To avoid
loss of time, most of the advertisements
for proposals to supply material have
been prepared, and will be issued in adj
vance of the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Those ready for issue are as fol-
lows: For twenty-five sets of forgings
for steel field guns of 3.2-inch caliber;
for sixteen sets of forgings for steel field
mortarS of 3.6-inch caliber, and for six
teen steel carriages for the same; for
steel forging for large 8, 10 and 12-inch
rlfied coast defense guns; for s, 10 and
l2-lnch armor-piercing projectiles; for
excavations and iron work at the new
south wing OF the Watervliet gun fac
tory.
For the large coast-defense guns
above referred to congress app, oprIated
$4,000 for the procurement of the nee
essary fOrgings, and the material will
be assembled at the Watervliet factory
ana the finished guns turned out. The
3.6-lnch mortars mark new de-
g2arture in military field operations.
They are intended to replace the
small cohOrnS which are used in
trenches for Smelling an enemy
behind earthwOrks OF like defenseS
and out of the direct fire of field guns.
Their range is nearly three times as
great as the Cohorn smooth-bore NOR
tars, the proiectile is more than twice
as heavy and great accuracy OF fire is
obtainable. The weight of the piece is
about 525 pounds, so that it can be
easily transported in wagon or moved
about by men in the trenches. The
armor piercing projectiles are to be
manufactured by domestic concern,
but upon specifications that will secure
the use of some of the modern Euro
pean patented processes. For their
procurement an appropriation of $780,
GOO will be available. The work of
construction at Watervliet, for which
advertisements have so far been pre-
pared, will, it is estimated. cost about
$4,000. leaving S73.742 of the total APP
