ON THAT FRAUD
Opinions Of Army Ogicers Differ Ma
terfaliy.

San Francisco. June 1A-SpeakinG of
the alleged extensive frauds in disposing
OF military supplies supposed to have
been stolen. General Shafter said:
Il am OF the opinion that the goods
found by the police were purchased from
the soldiers passing in and out of this
post. More than 5000 men have passed
through this port during the war. II one
man in every ten of these soldiers sold
to dealers 81 pair of shoes, GO Opairs would
thus be placed in the hands Of outsiders.
The same rule applies 10 shirts and
blankets.
Notwithstanding the fact that those
having government property wrongfulIy
in their possession can be prosecuted on
g charge Of felony and given q sentence
Of from one TO five years confinement,
there are plenty OF men willing 10 take
the chances. These goods are hrst-class
ard can be purchased from the soldiers
at a. ridiculously low figure.
soldiers can be prevented from selling
the stun. In disposing of it he leaves
himself short. The officers who issued 10
the meRinquires as to the quantity OF
goods he has IN his possession. II the
officers think he is amply supplied, he re-
fuses to issue the goods the soldiers ask
for. IN this manner the enlisted men
are prevented from drawing more than
they need.
I'm my opinion the police and federal
authorities are exposing a system Of pet
~ thieving Owing 10 the large number
of men these petty dealers have had op-
portunity TO deal with. their thievery
has grown 70 larger proportions than it
otherwise would have.
The military authorities have now
nothing 20 do with The affair other than
the seizure Of government goods found
IN the possession Of the civilian. the po-
session Of which can not be satisfactorily
accounted ror. The detention and prose
cution OF these dealers rests with ths
civil and federal authorities and hope
they make q success Of it.

NO FRAUD IN CASE
Decision Against Colorado
Debenture Company.
$4,000 WAS INVOLVED
In a Suit Against the Lombard
Company.

The district court room resounded with
eloquent arguments on law points nearly
all day yesterday. People about the
court house gathere- in Judge DaIe's
temple OF justice to witness the big legal
fight The title of the case is the Colo
rado Debenture corporation VS.. The LON
bard Investment Co. J. H. steppins of
Topeka represented the Colorado com
pany and Judge Wan and J. V. Daugher-
ty were on the other side Of the case. but
just who they represented was not easy
10 state
The Colorado company sued the Lom-
bard company TO recover $4,000. The
Lombard company claims to be dead and
the Colorado company tried to set ser
vice on the company by serving q sum
mons on J. H. Stewart who was at one
time assistant secretary OF the Lombard
company. It was admitted that Mr..
Stewart vas not now an officer Of the
company but the higher courts have held
that where officers OF q corporation dis
band or resign for the purpose Of pre-
venting service it is fraud ana the court
viii not recognize the designations.
The Colorado company was trying to
induce Judge Dale to hold that the ser
vice of Sheriff Simmons was sufficient
for the reason that the company had met
in Kansas City in 1897 and disbanded for
the purpose of preventing service. A
deposition Of L. D. Skinner was taken in
Chicago in which he stated that he had
been president and secretary Of the com
pany and he also stated that Mr.. Lom-
bard had asked him to resign his official
position.
OF course in order 10 make the service
stick it was necessary to make it appear
that there was reason to believe that the
officers had resigned for the purpose OF
keeping the Lombard company outside
the Jurisdiction Of the court. It seems
that Judge Dale took the view that what
ever might have been the intention or OBJ
ject of the resignation OF the other offic-
ers it must be shown that Mr.. Stewards s
resignation was for the purpose of evad-
ing service Of the court because he was
the one the court was dealing with He
held that the evidence did not show this
and therefore held that the service was
not valid as against the Lombard COM
pany.
Mr.. Steppins gave notice that he would
take the case to the supreme court and
it viii be made up at once
A reporter for the Eagle asked Mr..
Steppins If the Lombard company was
dead. who was employing Judge Wall
and J. V. Daugherty. he said that was
Just what he would like to know.

post commander, said: "AI this talk Of

have been aware Of the soldiers selling

the puzzling and perplexing things in
army management Is TO keep the soldiers
from selling their clothing.
Il am confident that no quartermaster

Gated in the selling Of even q shoe

- warrant has been issued for the ar
rest of Abe Abrams, son Of Louis Alb
rams, the secondhand dealer. who, with
another son. is in custody.
Detective Reynolds reported to the fed
eral authorities today that he found
twenty pairs OF government shoes in a
Sacramento street store last night.
Captain Seymore, Of the local detective
forces, said today: NO one can say in
view Of ali that has transpired within the
past two days, that frauds have not been
going on. Detective Reynolds reports to
me that the investigation has made a
stir among the second hand stores and
those who deal in the class Of goods
stolen from the army and those who
have not yet been visited by Colonel
Maus are hurrying TO cover with the gov
ernment goods that they have.
1T seems to ne that this Abram fam
ily has had monopoly IN this trade
and the quantities which they were about
to supply their customers makes it seem
conclusive to my mind that there is some
one or more having access to the quar-
termaster's department in collusion with
them.
They will have a hard time explain
ing away the evidence against them"
The announcement that a warehouse
full Of stolen goods had been found,
which was made yesterday on the au-
thority Of Captain Seymour. has been
found to be erroneous. The person who
informed the captain. was told TO tele-
phone that the property recovered was
being stored in the locality mentioned.
but misunderstanding his instructions,
sent the message wrong.

TEN THOUSAND DEAD FISH.
Eastern Shore Of Lake Michigan Is
Covered With Herrino.


St Joseph, No, June I4.-For the first
time in the history Of St. Joseph as port
on the east shore of Lake Michigan,
thousands OF lake herring, a small fish
belonging TO the white hsh family. have
been dying by the thousands in the last
forty-eight hours. Many theories are en-
tertained by the leading fishermen as to
the cause. 1t is thought probable in local
marine circles that the fish are dying
from some unknown poison food that
nas collected in the lake. The surface
Of the water near the shore is covered
by the dead fish, which are being carried
to the shore by the sea. 1t is roughly
estimated that fully 1000 fish are col
lected along the shore between the gov
ernment piers and the Boughton Pavil-
lion. and they are said to extend FIVE
miles south Of the city, Owing to the
fact that the herring is the only fresh
water fish that can be marketed, either
fresh or smoked, the loss VIII be keenly
felt by the local fishermen.
