TO VINING
Mr.. Hutchinson One Of
Promoters Victims.
OUT $l00 in GOOD MONEY.
Mr.. c. H. Colwell Has a Clam OF
$500 For Unpaid Salary.

ELECTRICAL FIRMS ACCOUNT.

The number of the victims OF Frank
M. vining appears to be increasins'and
three new ones have come TO the front
with their grievances, which appear TO
be well grounded. These are William
II. Hutchinson of Doric avenue, Au-

well OF ia Benefit street, sl6O shy, and
the Electrical and Mechanical Manu-
featuring Company. doing business on
Page street. of which, firm II. A. Bright
is the treasurer and manager, and which
would like to see $3.50 of its money.
In the case of Mr.. Hutchinson the
money was loaned to Vining, while IN
the other cases the money is due on
bills that were allowed TO run. 1t Is
said that Vining believed very thor
oughly in the maxim of using friends,
and he used Mr.. Hutchinson, who was
captivated by the "promoter's' pleasing
address. The money was advanced 10
vining in various sums as loans ana
now Mr.. Hutchinson is sorry he ever
met Vining.
Mr.. Colwell claims the money due him
is for unpaid salary, he having worked
for vining in selling the goods OF the
Frostlene Company, which Vining
represented here. About the last OF
about his salary, and he became impor-
tunate for money. Vining gave him a
check for S. on the American National
bank, and a friend cashed the check Tor
Mr.. Colweli. Later Ii was found that
the check was worthless. When con-
fronted with this fact Vining explained
il, IL rs claimed, by saying that he had
lost his checkbook and did not know
Just how he stood.

wrong, for he was apparently very de-

A great many toys are now made in

do the skin-covered horses. TheyJcould
be made here, but they can be produced
cheaper abroad.
AS a rule, whatever can be made by
machinery Is made here, while toys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute thing is brought within
the reach of machinery, American man.
ufacturers can pay their higher prices
for labor and still beat the world. With
the low prices Of labor in foreign coun-
tries handmade productions can be
