AT AMERICAN DERBY.
Is Missing From the City and
Cannot Be Found.
American Cup Shooters Will
Sail For Home Saturday.

Chicago, June 26.-Several hundred
people are looking for Marcher s. Co
They would be satisfied If they could
know something of the whereabouts OF
Charles F. Marcher without the COM
pany. Marcher & Co. ran future book
on the American Derby, and when those
who had invested on the winning horses
called at the Office of the bookmakers at
g. Dearborn street yesterday they
found the doors locked.
Marcher & Co, which consists so far
as known of Charles F. Marcher, took
dn about $4,000 in bets on the Derby
The book gave slightly better prices on
the Derby horses than did the other
winter books The sheet Of prices Is
sued weekly bore notice of reference to
the Hfbernian Bank and George Siler-
Oficials OF the Hibernian Bank know
nothing of any account with MareheS
& Co.. and Siler is unable to tell where
11archer Is located.
1t is said, although it cannot be prov
ed until Marcher is found, that the vic
tory of Robert WaddeH in the Derby
Saturday called for the payment of
larger sum Of money than was taken in
on other horses. If Marcher does not
appear at his Office shortly and take
care of the tickets which people hold IN
his book he will be called a ''welcher."
A "welcher' in racing is q man who
may escape punishment by law but is
likely to have a rough time II he meets
his customers.
Afarcher's home is at 1921 Diversey
avenue. Inquiry at that place last
night brought the reply that Marcher
IS not in Chicago and that Mrs. March
err is also out of the city
The amounts that Marcher collected
in his winter booking are variously es-
timated at from $25, 900 to S50.O00 Local
bookmakers are inclined to the belief
that the former figure VIII fully cover
the amount. Marcher & &C. did not
have the standing to make a large book
and the only inducement to place mon
ey with the firm was the hberality in
odds.
Some of the tickets which are UNI
cashed call for good sums. Gus Wallen
