market ne was able to reap large and
quick profits. of which he was willing to
pay large percentage to his clients.
He paid the interest on the principal each
week, and his business increased. Within
the past few months he advertised extens-
lively, and in all parts of Brooklyn could
be found men who could tell wonderful
stories of the weekly dividends.
1t is said within the past week Miller has
received deposits of hundreds of people,
asgregating a daily amount of from $50 900
to $4,000. 1t is easy to see, under these
circumstances, how the Franklin syndicate
could readily pay out 10 per cent. of this
amount week and still have money.
Not only were the people living within
the limits of Greater New York large de-
posters with the Franklin syndicate, but
cities all over the country contributed the
earnings of scores of their residents to
swell the wealth of the syndicate
Rev Dr. Meredith. of Brooklyn, former
pastor of Millers, complained to the
Brooklyn police that the man was running
half of the young men of his eongrega-
ton.
One of Miller's patrons who invested 500
Immediately turned around, reinvested the
10 per cent. allowed him at the end of the
first week. making a balance of S110 to his
credit. The next week he received on both
principal and interest, thus giving him a
balance to his credit. At the end of TWEEN
E~ty-five weeks, or a little less than six
months, he found himself with a credit in
the Franklin syndicate of 81 .029. All this
from the original investment of 500.
One of the police captains in Brooklyn
said that he knew of a family, consisting
of sixteen members, which had 500 invested
for each member of the family and the in
terest was paid on all of the sixteen claims
regularly every week.
One of Millers trusted employees is respon-
sible for the statement that the Franklin
syndicate man had taken in over Se00,OOo.
1t is known that when the banks shut down
on him yesterday and refused to accept his
deposits any longer, he withdrew sl50,OO0 In
the Wells-Fargo bank. 1t is asserted TO-
night that Miller deposited 100000 with the
German consul.
Miller, who Is a very young man, snort
slight and insignificant in appearance, pos
sesses two positive characteristics, his per-
sona1 magnetism and his frozen ealmness.
| Tonight, after the police had control, many
persons wanted to still deposit their money
Miler's circular to investors mentioned as
references persons in many cities, among
them being Hugh Gwynn, North and Bal
timore streets, Baltimore.

constitution gun in doing so. The best in
dication is that both parties will get to-
gether and shuttle the cards and fix up
hands that will look square, but will de-
ceive the people.
The president will finish his message to-
morrow, and tomorrow night it will be sent
under a safe escort to the public printer.
The greatest precautfon mas to be taken to
prevent leakage Time was when messages
would invariably get out before they were
sent to congress. That time was when the
message was given in blocks to printers to
set up, and for long time it was not
known where the leakage was. Great
sums have been paid to certain printers in
the past for what they could remember of
the message. A hint on certain questions
would enable spectators to make great
deal of money. The system which is now
adopted makes leakage--or reliable leakage
almost impossible.
Public Printers Plan
. The public printer has devised the r'lan of
cutting the manuscript into little bits and
distributing 1t in various parts of the build
ing. No one printer is given more than a
few lines in any one part of the message.
In this way the printers themselves are
kept in ignorance of what is in the mes
sage If there is any leakage, then others
higher IN authority must stand the conse-
quences. Many a time have the printers
been accused of giving out information
when the leakage occurred much higher up
the stream in ALI likelihood, The proofs
will be read by the president as soon as the
whole message is in type, and the day be-
fore it is sent in 1t is given to the Press
Association under pledge of secrecy.

The Market Elsewhere

New York, Dec. 12-The stock mar
ket displayed a feverish tone today as
a consequence of the violent shake
down of yesterday. Doubtless there
was. senaA belated liquidation com
pleted today. But the market was not
without support at any time, and
where breeches We're made in values,
the character of the buying at the de-
cline made it look as though the mani
pulation for a fall had been for the
purpose of taking on stocks. There
was a notable volume of commission
house buying, which indicated that out
siders had been attracted by the lower
level of prices.
There were points in the industrial
list which displayed notable resistance
all day and during the latter part of
the trading some positive strength.
Some of the sharp declines In the rail-
road list, notably in the grangers, were
attributed to shifting of headings
from that group into some of the in
dustrials. The grangers touched lower
prices than IN the decentralization of
yesterday, and they were practically
the only stocks in the list to do so.
That there is still a large and agrees
sive bear party in the stock market was
evident today. Their tactics were
moderately successful in the morning,
