POOR DUPES ROBBED.

Excitement in Pittsburg Over the Closing
of Pool Concerns.
Plttsburg, Pa, Oct. 22.-The news of
the closing up by the police of the Public
Stock and Produce exchange. discretion
airy pool concern, brought great crowds of
investors from the country into town.
Their presence reveals how widespread
had been the operations of these concerns
and fully confirms the previously published
estimate of the number of persons who
had invested money in these schemes.
The Delaneys, who operated the Public
Stock and Produce exchange, secured
their release on bail for a hearing this
evening. At the office this morning they
announced to their clients that as their
books were in the hands of the police they
would be unable to pay out money or
transact any business except to receive
notices of withdrawal of deposits. All
the discretionary pools have a clause in
their agreements by which they can IN
slst upon thirty-day notice of withdraw
al at the option Of the managers.
The Consolidated Stock and Produce
company, another discretionary pool. did
not open its doors this morning. Hun
dreds of investors who went to the office
to withdraw their deposits were con-
frOnted with a notice that the firm had
suspended temporarily. Washington
Force, the manager, was not there, ana
no one appeared able to give any inforna-
ton as to his present whereabouts. 9th
er pools are expected to suspend at any
moment and excitement among the in
veStors is running high. By the books
Of the Delaneys it is shown that over
half Of the investors were women, most
of them domestics and washerWomen
who fancied they had found an easy road
TO wealth and who placed all their little
= vines in these concerns
Another class of investors who will
suffer severely is composed of men who
were thrown out of work by the late
financial depression and who with their
families were living upon the money
saved in more prosperous times. They
thought that they could live upon the
dividends and thus keep their little CAPT
tai intact Many of them find them
selves at the approach of winter with
out a dollar.
A warrant has been issued for Wash
ington Force, manager of the Consolidate
ed exchange.

the sewer contractors happened to come
along at this time and seeing Riley
stopped to find out what he was doing.

for Riley and the two soon engaged in
desperate fight The Italians in the
shanty were attracted by the noise and
ran out to see what was the matter

planned to blow them up it was with
difficulty that they were restrained from
killing him. Riley was finally landed III

covered SO soon, as in another minute it
would have been all over and he would
then be satisfied. Riley was arraigned

Valuable Property.
Washington, D. c.. Oct. 22.-Argu-

the interior today for a review OF the
case of Hartman VS.. Warren involving the
title to valuable land near Duluth. This
was the case of mixed blood Chippewa
Indian, who had sold his script to other
parties, but whose title was afterwards
contested by Emil Hartman. Hartman's
attorneys claim that Warren was not en-
titled to the land. as he did not reside
among or contiguous to the Chippewas
of Lake Superior or maintain tribal re-
lations with them when the treaty ceding
their land was made. Secretary Smith
about a year ago decided this case in ia
vor of Warren and it is not likely that
