BORROWED MONEY
ON BOGUS BONDS
Julius Schoter Arrested in New York
on Charge of Forging Bonds of
State Of Virginia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1-Julius Schoter.. of
Forest Hill, n. j., was arrested in this
city on warrant to-day charging forgery
on complaint of Ladenberg, Thalman and
Company, bankers, who charge Schoser
with forging bonds of the State Of
Virginia.
on these alleged forged Virginia bonds,
amounting TO about 100000, 1t is charged
that Schoter succeeded in obtaining
loans amounting to s6S,05O from the I'm
porters and Traders National Bank and
Ladenberg. Thalman & Co.
According TO the story Schoter obtained
an introduction to one of the vice-presi-
dents of the Bank in September last and
negotiated 3. loan of $4,000, giving as Sc
curity s50,Coo worth Of Virginia bonds.
Some OF the bonds We're sent to Vir-
sinia for veriication. when it was found
that they were forgeries They then de-
manded that Schoter put UP good col
lateral. Cn November 18th Schoter called
on Ladenberg, Thalman & Co. and MO-
tiateG for u loan of S3S.O00. He offel>a
$50 coo of these Virginia State bonds. He
failed to get the amount that day, and
the next day returned with $4,000 os
bonds which he offered for a loan of
s190po This he got in two checks for
5000 each. Schoter then took one of the
checks to the Importers and Traders
National Bank ana PAID mat amount Oh
his first loan, reducing the Indebtedness
to $4,000.
Later the Ladenberg-Thalman firm In
vestigated the transaction, and found
that the bonds were bogus, and imme-
diately informed the chief of detectives.
Captain S1cC!usky said Schoter had also
been successful in negotiating a loan
with the Seaboard Ma nonal Bank.
In negotiating the loan. Schoter is
quoted as saying that the bonds
were not his, but belonged to Mrs. Emil
line Turner formerly of Mount Vernon,
but now living i'll London. Engalnd. He
is said to have shown "a power of attor-
ney authorizing him to dispose of her
property.
1t is said that the bonds were issued
ii, 1852 by the Kendall Bank Note Com
panv, of ttisscity The order was un-
satisfactory to the Virginia officials, and
the rest of the order was cancelled. The
500 bonds which had been shipped TO
Virginia were sold as curiosities.
Schoter was araigned in police court
and held in $500 bail for further ex-
animation tomorrow. He was unable to
furnish bail an was sent to the Tonbs.
The woman E.neli1ae Turner is be-
liehed by the police to be in the neighbor-
hood of New York. The police say
that she had been intimately acquainted
with Schoter for some years, and q party
to his dealings. =. Sc

JOHN v. DANIEL
ON CURRENCY BILL
Vigorously Opposed Proposition That
The Country Should Go to
the Gold Standard.

WASHINGTON, Feb. mir. Daniel
DemoeraD of Virginia. in the Senate
delivered an extended speech on the pend
ing Financial measure. He vigorously
opposed the proposition that the country
should go to the gold standard.
..The American people" said Senator.
Daniel. ..are by tradition in favor of
bi-metallism. They are likewise in favor
of sound money. The Democratic party
has always been the most pronounced
and consistent advocate OF oi-metaiilsm.
Mr. Daniel continued: we are under
a system Of hump backed bi-metallism=
This country can now go on the gold
standard il 1t wants to, but 1t Is neces-
sary to sneak into tho system
He objected to the Senate measure be-
cause it practically excluded silver and
nobody could fope.ell the possible calamity
it might bring on the world Ihere was
almost as much silver money in the world
as gold. yet this bill struck such blow
at It assmight prove fatal to it. The House
bill, he said. did not interfere with the
legal tender character of silver.
In answer to inquiries by Mr.. Daniel,
Mfr. Aldrich said that under the Senate
b:lr the silver certificates were payable IN
silver, not in gold; but that the treasury
rotes and greenbacks were payable In
gold. !.
..The status OF the silver certificates,
said Nr. Aldrich, ..is not changed by this
bill any more than is that OF the gotd
certificates.
Continuing. 1Ir. Daniel said this country
had s392. .CoO,OeO of silver money, ard while
the Senate bill sets forth that it intended
to maintain all money of the United
States at a parity. the vast volume OF
silver money was left out in the cold
Does the Senator think. inquired Mr.
IiIdricfl. .sthat the outstanding silver
dollars need any protection to maintain
their parity with gold
UNPROvIDED FOR.
Mr.. Daniel replied that he did not.
The purpose of the pending bill, he sad.
was to overthrow the immense mass OF
silver money. and the bill had let nearly
half OF our money unprovided FOR.
Il (. = he continued. you will put the
metal in the dollar. the dollar win take
care OF itself.
IT want to say. as my personal opin-
ion, said Mr.. -Aldrien. "that three hnR-
dred and ninety-two million dollars made
OF copper. continuing ~ IL grains Of
copper each, could be maintained at
parity with gold under ths same p,ovts-
ions now accorded to silver
Mr. Daniel expressed his gratitude to
Mr.. AIdrich for making that statement.
