ALLEGED SWINDLERS.
Man and Woman Charged With Fleece
ing Merchants Out Of Nearly $50, 900.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Mrs. Ruth How
ard. twenty-eight years old, and Herman
Cohen, thirty years old, broker. both Of
Brooklyn, were arrested to-day on the
charge of grand larceny. 1t is alleged by the
police that these two prisoners belong to a
notorious gang Of swindlers which operated
last month under the name OF W. b. Demng
& Co., at No. 80 Broadway. During their
short stay in that place it is said that they
swindled merchants in this city and else
where out of nearly $4,000. They obtained
credit on the supposition that they were in
reality the firm of William B. Denling, deal
ers in railroad supplies, at No. 50 Exchange
place. whose rating in the commercial
agencies is about $4,000.
Mrs. Howard made a clean breast Of the
swindle to Captain McCloskey. She said that
she was engaged by the firm TO act as agent
for them in buying goods. Cohen, she said.
was the head. He had cards printed giving
same time gave TO her a list OF dealers In
various kinds of merchandise from which
she was expected TO get goods. She visited
various stores and bought skirts. clothing
and furs All of the goods she succeeding
in getting were sent to the offices Of the firm
of w. B. Deming & Co., and were imme-
shipped out of town or placed in storage.
In her confession Mrs. Howard said she
came from Julesburg, Col, and had lived in
ST. Paul and afterwards was buyer for
Marshall Field & Co, of Chicago. From
there she went to Butte, Mont, where she
and Charles Howard. her husband, swindled a
man out of 5000. After that transaction
they fled to Chicago. In Chicago she de-
serted Howard and started a shoe company
under the name Of the Ruth-Frost Shoe
Company. with George S. Martin, VINO came
to this city last October and was finally
arrested and convicted of grand larceny and
sent to the peniteniary. Mrs. Howard then
came 10 this city and was engaged by Cohen
buyer for the firm. Howard, the deserted
husband. made his way East and went into
business in Boston as the c. j. Mosley Bank
ing Company, with Ernest Talsley as his
partner They afterwards came TO this city,
where they engaged In operations when
a half years, and Howard In the peniten-
tiary for eleven months.
Captain McCluskey expects to arrest other
persons implicated in the Deming swindle.

GREAT BICYCLE TRUST
COMBINATION THAT WILL yECESsI-
TATE CAPITAL OF s5O,OOO,OOO.
Ten Leading Manufacturers Already
in the Deal and others Invited
Knit Goods Makers to Combine.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Herald to-
morrow. will say: Makers of bicycles have
arranged the details for the formation of n
trade combination that will involve capital
to the amount of $50. 000, 900. 1t is understood
that ten OF the leading makers of wheels
have entered the combination, and that sew
eral others will probably be persuaded TO
add their signatures to the agreement. A. G.
Spalding is credited with being the moving
spirit in the proposed combine. With him
are associated A. A. Pope and r. Philip
Gormuly, OF the Gormully & Jeffery Man
ufacturing Company. of Chicago. Attempts
to form a bicycle combination have been
made in the past but all have been futile,
primarily because the small manufacturers
could not be eliminated. With the coming
OF the chainless bicycle, however, the situa-
ton altered. While the transmission OF
power by means Of shaft and gearing is not
a novelty, the adaptation of it to bicycles,
involving the construction OF the compli-
Gated machinery necessary to turn out the
gears, is said to have cos- one company five
years OF labor and expenditure of more than
$500 900.
"A company was formed in New Jersey
and licenses to manufacture bevel-geared
bikes under its patents were granted to some
OF the largest concerns in the trade 1t is
upon the foundation afforded by these Ii
ceEsed concerns that the new organization
Is to be founded. All the companies licensed
have agreed not to cut prices under penalty
OF forfeiture OF license and the payment
or cash penalty, said to be 5000. When
this had been arranged, n. G.. Spalding set
sail for Europe. AT the time it was said he
went for his health In the course of Mr..
Spalding'S search for health abroad, it is
said, he obtained in France the control Of
the Acetylene patents, which are considered
to be the foundation of the beveled-geared
wheel. the French having used this form of
power transmission several years before it
was tried elsewhere. In England the cross
roller geared patents were obtained.
NO change in the bicycle business for the
present year is contemplated, but next year
each manufacturers product Will be mar
keted, the middlemen's profits being elimi-
mated. That all this had been carefully
planned is shown by the recent organization
OF a s5,000.0o0 bicycle saddle company by
A L. Garford, former president of the Ma
tional Cycle Board of Trade. To this is to
be added the steel tube combination and the
wood rim organization. Aside from the bev-
eled-geared wheel there are two chaiuless
bicycles manufactured, each of which is de-
clared by It's maker TO be the equal Of those
which will be controlled by the organiza-
ticn. Terms have already been offered to
the independent concerns, which Will prob
ably be accepted"
