a HUGE SCHEME OF FRAUD.
A stock Broker Tells How His Firm
Pluck ed Its Custoroers.

st. Louis, July 17.-Sensational ad-
missions have been made by Samuel
A. Gaylord, senior member of the
firm of Gaylord, Blessing & Co.,
which failed recently. Gaylord, who
is one of the oldest stock brokers' in
the city, admitted at the hearing be-
fore Bankruptcy Referee Coles, that
the firm had been practically insolv-
ent for two years and had been doing
business on other peoples money
on funds secured from local custom
ers. Deals wherein no stock ever
changed hands, being mere matter
of bookkeeping in which the firm new
er forgot to charge up commissions,
margins and interest, were admitted
by Gaylord, who told, also, of the em-
ployment of relatives names and the
use of an insane mans name in the
accounts.
At the time of the failure they
were short $150,00O in bonds and over
5000 shares of stock in New York. 1t
was admitted by the witness that the
failure was due to their own specula-
tion, through which they had hoped
TO pay off their Indebtedness, esti-
mated to have been nearly 100000.
AS to missing collateral alleged to
have been left with the firm by GUS
toners attached to promissory notes,
Gaylord admitted that all had been
hypothecated with banks as security
for loans on the firm.

MINE FIREMEN STRIKE.
A Serious Labor Trouble Confronts
Operators OF Anthracite Mines.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-THE
strike order of President Mullahy, of
the stationary firemen, was promptly
obeyed yesterday when nearly 900
men quit work. Some of the indi-
vidual coal operators agreed to the
demands of their employees.
A meeting of the strikers was held
at noon. 1t showed that the strike
in this (Luzerne) county was general
and that the coal companies could
not secure men to fill the vacancies.
The best they could do was to force
clerks and Office employees to help
them.
President Mullahy said last night
that he had information from all
over the coal regions that the men
were standing firm. He thought the
coal companies would be unable to
resume operations. At the offices of
the companies it was said that the
strikers proposition could not be en-
tertained.

DEADLOCK UNBRoKEN.
Powers Cannot Agree as to the Man-
ner in Which China's Indemnity
Shall be Paid.

Pelin, July 1.-THE ministers Of
the powers now admit that the pros
poets for conclusion of the negoti-
tions is growing darker. The situa-
tion is most serious, as the deadlock
has continued for more than a month.
The meeting arranged for yesterday
was postponed because it was appar-
ent that the proceedings would be
fruitless.
1t was at the meeting of July II
that the ministers reached something
in the nature of an agreement as to
the indemnity. But a radical differ
ence developed between Great Britain
and Russia as to the details of the
plan of payment All the ministers
were in accord with the scheme early
in June, subject to the approval of
their governments, but Great Britain
disapproved the arrangement on the
ground that it did not adequately
protect her commercial interests.
The neutral ministers assert that
either Great Britain or Russia must
make material concessions before a
conclusion of the agreement is pos
sible

May OrgauIze a vigilance Committee.

Denver, Col, July 1.-THE min
listers of this city are considering the
advisa ability of organizing a vigilance
committee. Although it is against
the thugs that the ministers will pri-
marily direct their attention, the,
work which they propose to do at
once is only preliminary to the gigan-
tic scheme they have under consider
alton, looking to the uplifting of the
entire community. They propose to
establish an organization as far
reaching as Tammany, but with a
view to establishing law and order in
stead of political supremacy.

A NATIONAL EVIL
The Crime of Perjury Is Terribly
Prevalent.
a n Iowa Jurist Delivers n Sensations
al speech to Members of the State
bar Association Justice
Hides Her Face Because
of shame.

Council Bluffs, Ia, July 17.-Presi-
dent j. j. Mccarthy made startling
statements regarding the prevalence
of perjury in American courts of
justice in his address to the Iowa
State Bar association at it's annual
meeting in this city yesterday.
"Is it true" Mr.. Mccarthy asked,
that perjury is committed in judi
cial proceedings? l need take no
time for discussion of this inquiry
before representative bar associ-
alton. 1t will not do to credit all
false statements to lack of memory,
visionary eXaggeration, inability to
see and understand things correctly,
white lies, imaginary delusions and
such like.
"Where is there a lawyer who has
not seen the guilty criminal pass out
of the court room acquitted and set
free because of perjury? What one
of us but what has seen the rights
of persons and of property sacrificed
and trampled under foot, presumably
under due form of law, but really by
the use of corrupt, false and some-
times purchased testimony?
"These are the things that begct
distrust and disrespect for the courts
and for verdicts, and for our boasted
forms of law. These are the things
that produce anarchy, lynching and
invite just contempt as well as
lack of confidence in those tribunals
| called courts of justice.
"One judge of long experience upon
the bench writes me that, in his opin-
ion, about half of all the evidence re-
ceived on behalf of the defense in
criminal cases is false. Another
judge of equally high repute writes
that he believes 75 per cent. of the
evidence offered in divorce cases ap-
proaches deliberate perjury.
"Another writes that perjury is
committed in a majority of import
ant lawsuits and that the crime is
rapidly increasing.
SIN short, with reference to the
prevalence of perjury the time has
come when, in the words of another,
| justice must wear veil, not that she
may be impartial, but that she may
hide her face for shame.
"Some tell us that the crime is COM
mitted mostly in the police and pet
| W tOuilS, NutIC Il Iult lHt VIII
| nesses belong to the vicious classes.
But the fact remains that it is COM
mitted in otner courts and by men
protesting high station in society,
church and state.
"Who can blame a poor outcast of
| society for false swearing, when pre-
sumably reputable citizens do the
same thing? Why do we expend
time and money in prosecuting some
poor tramp for stealing an overcoat
to keep him from freezing, when the
wrecker of bank, the despoiler of
home, the taKer of human life, or the
| embezzler of thousands goes un-
whipped of justice?
"Why should a nation or a state
cry out against Determinations,
| trusts, combinations and 'watered'
stocks, when the very crime that
makes them possible is passed un-
noticed? Why does the press of a
| country write volumes on the consti-
ton following the flag, when the
sanctity. of an oath that gives both
the flag and the constitution their
real significance is almost ignored"

Puni.hment Fir the Crlme.

Omaha, Neb., July 17.-Bird Head, a
Pawnee Indian, aged So, and his
squaw, 81, yestesd:S pleaded guilty
in the federal court to manslaughter,
committed on the reservation more
than year ago, and were released
with suspended sentences. Peter
Larayie, also an Indian, had
unintentionally slain their son
Peter, and following tribal
tradition he handed his rifle over to
old Bird Head, who shot him. Then
the squaw cut him up with an ak.
They had fulfilled the Indian law, but
collided with the white code. This
disposition of the case was making
the punishment fit the crime in the
view of the court.

distance acquaintance. In the early
Sunday morning hours they often en-
gagged in personal talk, and in dull
times their conversation approaches
weather and barber shop gossip. Last
night an eastern telegrapher. after a
day and night of Portsmouth, Lon
don and Windsor, "called" with great
glee:
"Why is Bob Fitzsimmons like Vic
toria?"

and conferred with his associates be-
fore he gave it up.
Because they both stopped Rubin, y

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tioual remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucus lining of the
Eustachin Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucus surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness tcaused by catarrh that cannot
be cured by Hairs Catarrh Cure. Send forcir.
