manipulated for a rise few days ago on the
groundless reports that a settlement OF the

Yesterday the stock was sold down because the
people who rushed in to buy on the trade

PACKING HOUSE FRAUDS.
Retired Packer Thinks Their Meth.

Chicago, March 15.-William j. Will
son, former west park commissioners
and founder Of the Wilson Packing
company, which supplied the British
army with canned beef during the first
Zulu war, where the temperature was
hotter than it was in Cuba or Porto
Rico. may go before the war inquiry
board before it leaves Chicago.
The Wilson company went out of
existence in 1855 and it had no sue
cessor, according to IFS founder. 1t is
said the firm was the first of the Chi
cago packing companies to go into the
business Of canning compressed beef
There never was such an article as
canned roast beef for commercial pur-
poses.'' said Mr.. Wilson today. 1T is
possible to can it, but too expensive to
make it practicable. Every bit of beef
that is sold under the label of canned
roast beef is nothing but boiled meat.
Canned roast beef is a trade lie, and
that is all you can say for it,
II do not hesitate to speak plainly
abouf it, for the reason that L think
ii viii do the packing trade good to
have this matter stirred up.
IT have some canned beef and tongue
at NV house which my company put up
eighteen years. ago. and it is as good
and sweet as on the day 1T was

Continuing, Mr.. Wilson said: Il will

MAN? BIDS FOR BIG FIGHT |
JEFFRIEs AND FITz WANT THE
EARTH.
Reject a Purse of $4,000 Unless
Given a Percentage On the Picture
Profts-Matter Postponed.

New York, March 15.-Willfam A
! Brady, representing Jim Jeffries, an6
| Martin Julian, manager of Bob F'itz-
simmons met today to consider the
| bids made for the proposed fight be-
| tween these pugilists. AS soon as Brady
and Julian read the $4,000 bid of q
San Francisco syndicate, through H. p
Taylor, it was taken up. Julian said
that If any person connected with the
National Sporting club of San Fran
cisco were connected with the new
syndicate he would not accept any pro-
posals from that body. In fact, he said
he would rather have the bout take
place in the east, as their experience in
California in the fighting line was not
agreeable, either to himself or F'itzsom-
mons.
Brady then asked Mr.. Taylor what
he was prepared to concede for picture
privileges, and the western representa-
tive replied that the purse was large
enough to cover all that. Brady OBJ
jected, and so did Julian. Both claimed
that the picture privilege would prove
that no club offer will be considered
uniests the participants to the bout
should receive a percentage of the
profits arising from the reproduction
of pictures Of the fight
Brady said: ''Ill give a sum equal
to rs per cent of the net receipts of
the fight for the privilege of taking and
producing these pictures
Mr.. Taylor then asked for time to
communicate with the San Francisco
people whom he represented, so that
he could find out what terms he could
offer.
w. B. Gray, representing the West
chester club, offered a purse of $21, 900,
but would not concede any privileges to
the fighters, claiming that the purse
was in itself sufficient. His offer was
tabled quickly.
Then came the Coney Island clubs
representative, John p. Dunn. He said
the club was willing to put up a purse
of $4,000, and also, so far as he knew,
to divide the proceeds of the picture
privileges equally between the two con-
testants and the club. He also request
ed twenty-four hours time to enable
him to communicate with the manage
ment of his club. 1t was finally agreed
to give all parties twenty-four hours, to
make final offers.
There will be another meeting at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, when it is
thought a final settlement will be ar
ranged.

BICYCLE TRUST COMES NEXT
MANUFACTURES ARE NOW
FORMING A COMBINE.
Will Have a Capital of Fifty Mil
lions and Take In All the Big
Firms Of the Country.

New York, March 15.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Makers of bicycles
have arranged the details of the forma-
ton of a trade combination that will in
volve capital to the amount of $50, 900 coo.
1t is understood that ten of the leading
makers of wheels have entered the COM
bine and that several others will probably
be persuaded TO add their signatures 10
the agreement. A. G. Spalding is credited
posed combine. With MIN are associated
a. A. Pope and r. Philip Gormully of
the Gormuliy & Jeffery Manufacturing
company OF Chicago.
Attempts to form bicycle combine
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 chalnleSS bicycle.
however, the situation was altered. While
the transmission OF power by means of
shaft and gearing is not a novelty. the
adaptation OF it TO the use of the BIZ
cycllst, involving the construction of COM
plicated machinery necessary to turn out
the gears, is said 10 have cost one COM
pany five years of labor and an eXpendi-
ture of more than 500, $50. A company
was formed in New Jersey and Lyons to
manufacture beYel-Seared bicycles, but
under its patents privileges were granted
to some of the largest concerns in the
trade. 1t is upon the foundation afforded
by these licensed 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 of cash pen
atty said to be So CSC.
When this had been arranged, a. G..
Spalding set sail for Europe. AT he time,
it was said he went for his health. In
the course of MIR. Spaiding search for
health abroad. it is said, he obtained in
France the control of the Acetacyne pat
ents which are considered to be the
foundation of the beEel-gear wheel, the
French having used this form of power
transmission several years before it was
tried elsewhere. In England the cross
roll or geaied patents were obtained.
No change in the bicycle business for
the present year is contemplated. but next
year each manufacturers product will be
marketed, the midoiemen's profits being
eliminated. That all this had been care
fully planned is shown by the recent Or
ganization Of s5,O00G90 bicycle saddle
company by A. L. Garford, former presi-
dent of the national cycle board of trade.
To this is to be added the steel tube COM
bination and the wood rim organization.
Aside from the beveled-geared wheel,
there are two chainless bicycles manufac-
tured each of which is declared by it's
maker to be the equal of those which will
be controlled by the organization. Terms
have already been offered to the indie
pendent concerns, which will probably be
accented

NETWORK MERCHANTS TOUCHED.
GANG OF sWINDLERs CLEAN UP
$4,000.
Mrs. Howard, Who Has Montana
Record, Was the Purchasing
Agent For a Bogus Firm.

New York, March 15.-Mrs. Ruth
Howard, % years of age, and Herman
Cohen, 80 years of age, a. broker, both
of Brooklyn, were arrested today on
the charge of grand larceny. 1t is
alleged by the police that these two
of swindlers, which operated last month
under the name of w. B. Deming- &
Co. at 81 Broadway. During. their
short stay in the place, it is said,
they swindled merchants in this city
and elsewhere out of nearly $4,000.
They obtained credit on the SUPPOSE
ton that they were in reality the firm
of William B. Deming, dealers in rail-
road supplies, at 50 Exchange Place,
whose rating in the commercial agen-
cies is about 100000.
Mrs. Howard made a clean breast
of the swindle to Captain McCIuskey.
She said that she was engaged by the
firm to act as agent for them in buy
ing goods. Cohen, she said, was the
head. He had cards printed, giving
her name as May Chambers, and at
the same time gave to her a list of
dealers in various kinds of merchant
disc from which She was expected to
get goods. She visited various stores
and bought skirts, clothing and furs.
All of the goods she succeeded in get
ting were sent to the offices of the firm
of W. B. Deming e Co, and were i'm
mediately sold by them to other buy
ers, or were shipped out of town or
placed in storage.
In her confession, Mrs. Howard said
she came from Julesburg, Colo, and
had lived in ST. Paul, and afterward
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 $4,000. After that transaction
they fed to Chicago. In Chicago she
deserted her husband and started a
shoe company, under the name of the
Ruth-Frost Shoe company, with
George S. Martin, who came to this
city last October and was finally ar
rested and convicted of grand larceny
and sent to the penitentiary. Mrs.
Howard then came to this city and
was engaged to Cohen as buyer for
the firm.
Howard, the deserted husband, made
his way east and went into business
in Boston as the G. j. MOsley Banking
company, with Ernest Tasley as his
partner. They afterwards came to this
city, where they engaged in operations
which landed Tasley in Sing Sing for
three and one-half years and Howard
in the penitentiary for eleven months.
Captain McCluskey expects to arrest
other persons implicated in the Deming
swindle.

TEXANS CAREER OF CRIME.
After Robbery and Arson, He Muir
dered His Wife

Waco, Tex, March ED Bean, at
Bleaton, fifteen miles south of here,
after a night spent in robbery and ar
son, attacked his wife in a fit of jeal-
ousy at daylight this morning. The
woman fled through the principal street
of the town, pursued by her frantic
husband, armed with a shotgun and
a revolver. The man approached near
enough to the fleeing woman to make
sure of his aim, when he fired a load
of shot into her head. AS she fell face
downward, he emptied the second bar
rel into her body, after which he fired
a bullet into his own head, blowing out
his brains.
The sound of the shots had scarcely
died away when flames were seen is
suing from the big hardware store of
Wilson & Austin, which was destroyed,
with it's stock. An examination showed
that the weapon used by Bean had
been stolen from this store, and he had
apparently set fire to the place after
securing the weapons and ammunition
with which to kill the woman. The
loss on the hardware stock and store
is about $4,000, with $1,000 insurance.
