Or. WHARTON INDICTED.
CHARGED WITH OBTAINING
MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
FENCES

By Telegraph to Virginian Pilot.)
Freehold, N. J., Oct. 23.-Three in
dictments against Rev. DIR. Henry NJ.
Wharton. the evangelist of Baltimore.
who was charged with fraud and TAX
ing money illegally. We're handed up
to-day by the Monmouth county grand
jury. DR.. Wharton is charged by Miss
Clara Somers. of Ocean Grove, with
having obtained money under false pre-
fences. Miss Somers transferred prop
erty to MIR. Wharton to be used as a
home for children. She had the Doctor
arrested upon a charge of raising
money by mortgaging 1t. His friends
asserted that there was some mis-
take. DR.. Wharton through his attor-
ney, states that there is really one
mortgage on the orphanage property
that of $4,000. This, he says covers
primarily personal effects and real
estate in Baltimore more than suffi-
cient to pay it, and the mortgage on
the Somers' property is only as COL
lateral security. There was o. mort
gage of $4,000 on the property, he says.
when he took it, which was to have
been taken up by the mortgage in the
later transaction.
DR.. Wharton declares that his arrest
is the result of a conspiracy against
him instigated by residents of Balti-
more. Since his Arrest he has been in
receipt of numerous letters and tele-
grams Offering aid. No date has yet
been set for the trial.

ABOUT THE CITY.
One would naturally suppose that
this success in business would have
satisfied the telephone monopolists. Al,
though the expense of securing control
of the business of other companies had
been enormous. the dividends of the
monopoly had been paid all along, and
the capital stock had been watered and
watered and watered until 1t became
necessary to tncase the bonds In mack
intoshes. But what did the New York
Telephone Company do?
RAISED THE PRICE OF TEIE.
PHONE SERVICE IN NEW YORK
CITY FROM $3.50 TO $40.
1t will be noticed that the last in
crease was 80 per cent. heavier than the
whole cost OF a telephone service in the
days when the monopoly was young
and the possibilities Of the field had NOT
been opened to the vision of the men
controlling the medium of extortion.
More interesting and previously hid
den information concerning this tele-
phone monopoly is at hand and will be
printed in due time.
