JONES TO MINE HIS OWN ORE.
Toledo's Mayor Battling With Iron
Pipe Trust.

1900 ehoAAhS o1 ESC1<AkA
Chicago. ILL.,, July S.-Because the Pipe
Trust. which controls the iron pipe indus
try Of the country. will not allow the de-
livery Of ore to Golden Rule Jones's bfe
factory at Toledo, the Ohioan win mine
his own ore. Chicago men have been in
vest1gating localities in many States for
months past. and they have at last settled
upon establishing a community on 1000
acres OF land In Texas, where the mineral
and vegetable riches are marvellous
When the Pipe Trust was formed the
promoters endeavored in every way to force
Mr.. Jones into the combination. but TO all
OF the arguments Jones turned a deaf oar
The combination was effected and punitive
measures were taken 1T once. An attempt
to have the railroads refuse to haul ore
to Jones's factory is said to have been
made. but this failed. Then the trust, & Is
alleged. went to the mine owners, and. by
exerting all its influence. induced the mines
to refuse to ship ore to the Toledo mill.
The country fs very rfch." said Elmer
E. Baldwin. a land expert who IL negotI-
ating the deal. Several Chicago capitalists
will be interested in the venture I cannot
tell you thei: names. nor can tell you the
name of the company. for 1t has not as yet
been either organized or Incorporated.
Samuel NJ. Jones, however, Is the prime
mover. The undertaking is big one. and
we will expend between s.. 900. 900 and $3.000.-
900 In pushing 1t through. 1t is expected the
deal will be closed next week"

THOUGHT TO Be A. E. KROEGER.
Man Arrested in Mexico Supposed
to Be Wanted Here.

Telegraph dispatches from Monterey, Mex
leo. announce the arrest there Of man
supposed to be Adolph f. Kroeger, formerly
Of St. Louis. on the charge of having en-
bezzled upward OF 5000 from the Crown
Coal and Tow Company of this city. The
prisoner insists he Is not Kroeger and that
his name Is John Wilson,. He refuses to
come to the United States without requisi-
ton.
Kroeger was head bookkeerer, cashier
and collector for the company.
Several months ago the books Of the con-
Germ were checked up by the travelling audi
tor Of the Illinois Central Railroad, at
which time a shortage became apparent.
Shortly thereafter Kroeger left the city.
In May the case was given to the Thiel
Detective Agency, whose operative made
the arrest.
Under the requisltion treaty of the United
States and Mexico he may be held forty
days in Mexican Jail awaiting the papers
necessary to bring him to St Louis for
trial.
Krceger Is 50 years old and is married. but
has no children. Mrs. Kroeger's home Is in
Arkansas, where she went soon after Kroe-
gers departure from St. Louis.
