MAX IIPSHITZ TALKS
OF A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
Max Iipshitz. president II the firm "f
Max hoshitZ * 90. located at No. "iD
North Seventh street. WAS seen last iA=ht
at his home. No. .s222 Pine street. In regard
to the arrests. lie believes that "a swindihg
scheme has been uncovered which Will In
voive firms all over the United States. ami
that when Il Is probed to the bottom an
organized fence" will be disclosed. the op-
Grafton Of which will b. sensational IN l's
magnitude.
At the present time. NGr. LApshitz has no
data by which TO compute the amount "I
money which has accrued to those VINO
worked the scheme. lie places the figure.
however at S2J.g0. but thinks that inEesu-
gation may show the amount 10 De Hu'h
larger. That lie is able to put his estimate
at that figure he believes H. due TO the Tact
that Immediately upon the discovery OF the
existence of the firm M. Lipshitz & Co. he
notified the r. g. Dun and BrsUdstreets
commercial agencies. and such action was
taken that further operations by M. LIP
shitz & Co." were made impossible.
II believe" said Mr.. Hpshitz. that had
this scheme. which remained prohtable, L
think for about six weeks, been worked "A
month longer. the loss 10 out-of-town firms
would be 10000 II not $4,000"
BY what Information Mr.. EpshitZ mas
been able TO gather, the firm Involved
came into being some time last summer
The name IN. Lpshitz q Co" WAS chosen
which. it will be noted. Is dissimilar from
the titles Max Lipshitz & Co" and M.
Iipshitz q Sons" but with either OF which
Il could easily be confounded.
SENT OUT CIRCI LARS
ALI. OVER THE COUNTRY.
The new firm commenced operations "y
sending circulars to wholesale hrins 'i
standing all over the United states. asking
for samples of goods for the fall trade.
These were followed up hy orders Early IN
october Max IApshitz was showered with
answers 70 the circulars. and. in many
casfs with bills for goods which had never
b.en ordered by his firm or by that of ms
brother. Morris IApshitz. This at once puz-
zled him and subjected him TO no little III
convenience.
FINALLY. about a week after the first OF
,be letters had reached him. the vice presi-
don't of "A corset manufacturing firm "f
Bath Ne, called on him at his Office IN
this city. He said that he had received
letter from Iipshitz asking to see samples
of his line OF cOrsets. and as he was In this
city with samples which he was showing 20
other local houses. ne had dropped In at TIE
Max Iipshitz firm in person.
IJpshitz was astonished. because he did
not sell corsets The visitor produced the
letter. which was typewritten and signed
IN IIpshitZ q Co" But the address on
the letterhead was No. 1913 Chestnut street.
and IApshi;z Immediately guessed that II
Was from this place that the persons who
were using his name were operating.
In company with the visitor he went TO
the place on Chestnut street There was no
sign visible to indicate business house.

ON the lower floor was a room furnished
with counter and q desk. but no one was
present. The two went upstairs and found
an old negro woman.
rs Mr.. Iipshitz in?' they inquired OF
her. She replied that he was in but seldom.
| They could get nothing from her nf his
whereabouts at that time or ha doings.
The visitor was diskusted. but not out OF
pocket.
Subsequent to this time inquiries and bills
continued 10 come in.
ALL KINDS
OF COMPLICATIONS.
No end Of complication resulted. Max
IipghitZ wrote to every firm with which he
had ever had dealings. notifying them that
the firm M LIpshitz Co.. at No. l2l5
Chestnut street was not his firm. MAX
1Ipshitz & Co." at No. 616 North Seventh
street. and that the latter house would not
he responsible for orders for goods issued
by the persons on Chestnut street.
This and the fact that the two com
mercial agencies mentioned had taken more
general action. notifying wholesale houses
from New York TO San Francisco. were the
means OF bringing the firm IN. Lipshiiz
& CO.." at No 1913 Chestnut street, into
notice and Of stopping their business.
Beyond the correspondence received. Max
I.ipshitZ given intimation OF the state
Of affairs through the express companies
shipments consigned to M. Lipshiiz & Co.
These shipments became confused with
those TO Max Pipshitz & Co" and to IN.
Lpshitz 4 Sons" Finally, in the matter
OF freight affairs became so mixed. that
It was necessary for both the firms in good
standing and for that on Chestnut street TO
present their bills OF lading before they
could get their goods. This caused Max
Iipshitz immense Inconvenience, since he
had sent TO the shippers In New York for
the bills of Iading. and in the meantime
was without his goods.
The situation. however. saved considerable
money for Eastern firms. who had sent
goods to M. I.ipshitz & Co" The latter.
late in November. was unable to get ita
orders since IL could not get its bills Of
lading from the shippers. After the man
had left this city there were more than
thirty cases Of goods I'm East 81. Louis con-

By Facts and figures-Bryan Sells

Wire Affidavit.

Navasota proudly claims COM
mercial supremacy in this section
Of the state, and people who do
not know the facts may believe
there is some foundation for the
boast. In order TO get at the truth
of the matter, the Eagle proposes
10 dig down TO a solid foundation
and show what the claims Of Bry-
an rest upon. All recognized au-
thorities will agree that the bank
ing facilities and interests of any
town are the basis Of its CONNER
cial operations and the extent Of
the latter may be unerringly deter
mined by the magnitude of the
former. To make the application
without multiplying words, Bryan
aud Navasota each have two ma
tional banks and only two. The
Bryan banks each have 100000
capital stock. The Navasota banks
each have only $4,000 1t will
be seen, therefore, that either Of
the Bryan banks equals both the
Navasota banks in the matter of
capital stock, and, taken together,
Bryan has twice as much banking
capital az Navasota. National
banks usually meet the demands
Of the business interests Of the
towns in which they are located.
They pay we'll and capital is not
slow to take advantage Of the op
portunities which they offer. I'M
der the new banking laws even
the smaller towns have banks Of
$4,000 capital. In places Of more
importance, such as Navasota,
$4,000 banks are found amply
able to take care Of the volume Of
business, while such big business
centers as Bryan require 100000
banks 10 take care Of their vast

store and no competition in this
line The facts are that Bryan
has two exclusive hardware hous-

both Of which have immense, up

their line.
The Eagle claims that Bryan is
the best cotton market and trading
point in Central Texas, and pre-
sents facts, figures and afiidavits
10 prove il. We are willing TO
leave the case with the people who
are hocking to Bryan every week

The Eagle has no desire TO re-
feet on the Navasota banks; they
are conducted by gentlemen who
are thorough business men, and as
sugge ted above, are no doubt adj

may also add that the Eagle did
not begin this controversy, but
simply raised its voice in defense
Of Bryan-when its nome town
