A Well known Boston Brokerage
Firm Goes Suddenly to
Jail.

Noto j orr; sur; SpectHt SeFptco
Boston, Aug. 14.-Frederick E. Belts, of
the brokerage firm known as J. M. Fisher
& Co., of this city, was arrested this af-
ternoon. Some nine months ago Belts
and Fisher, who had palatial banking Of
fees on State street, were arrested on
various charges in which 1t was alleged
that they had swindled the public by the
wholesale. The method by which the con-
Germ operated was to advertise glittering
opportunities wherein everybody was sure
to make a fortune. Fisher and Belts OPP
Grated as one in the concern known as
j. M. Fisher & Co. At the same time
Fisher & Co." were the head and front
of another concern known as the Cobb
Everett Investment company. The new
charge is that of conspiracy. In the war
rant it is alleged that Belts and Fisher
conspired and entered into an agreement
to commit fraud upon the public and
that in the commission Of such fraud they
used the United States mails.
Belts appeared, to be somewhat sur
prised upon being taken into custody. He
was Immediately dressed in the height
Of fashion and had every appearance OF
prosperity when taken before United
States Commissioner Fiske He waived
the hearing of the complaint and pleaded
not guilty but was much disappointed
when Mr.. Casey asked that he be held in
Mr.. Casey presented most important
document as bearing upon the tremendous
amount of money which Fisher & Belts
had secured from the public.
An expert accountant for the govern
ment has gone over the accounts of Fisher
and Belts at the Federal Trust company
and also at the Mercantile Trust company
During a very short period of time in 1901
1t was shown that J. N. Fisher & Co., de-
posted at the Federal Trust company
SGT, 461. 46 and in the name of William A
Belts trustee over $4,000. William A
Belts is a brot her of Frederick. The eX-
pert accountant also found to the credit
Of the Cobb Everett Investment com
pany," at the Mercantile Trust company
deposits amounting to over $4,000. Belts
was held in $4,000 as requested for a
hearing in the case at 10 o'clock to-mor-
row.
Up to the time Of writing he had failed
TO procure bail. Of the $22 900 deposited
with the trust company large amount
of it was withdrawn a day or two before
Fisher and Belts were arrested last fall
There are hundreds of unfortunate vic
Tins who Just now would like to find ou
where this money has gone. The govern
uent officials especially would like tt
locate it as there are several victims Wn'
have been reduced to dire want and dis
tress by their losses.
Fisher, Belts partner, was arreste'
later and he also was held In $l0,00o.

LIGHT JULY CUT
White Pine Lumber Production
Was Reduced.
Movement of Sash and Doors Fair
for Season Of Yenr-Hard-
wood Lumber Steady.

Statistics showing the logs scaled in the
Minneapolis district reveal that the totals were
much less for July than for the correspond
ing month year ago. AS production dur
ing the summer Is estimated on the basis
Of the monthly figures showing the scale Of
logs this carries with 1t the conviction that
the production Of white pine was diminished
In proportion
The total boom scale at Minneapolis, July
Of this year was As, Soo, 400 feet, and the rail-
road scale was 6,3I2,960 feet, total of o.
675 450 feet.
For. the corresponding month last year the
boom scale was 50, 800 feet, and the rail-
road scale $40 feet, a total of
65,S5 $50 feet.
The decrease for July this year over last
was 11,176,0S0 feet and it Is safe to assume
that the decrease in production was nearly
equal to this.
Altogether it is highly improbable that the
total cut Of white pine lumber in Mime
apolis this year will be as large as a year
ago. Two out of the four months Of the saw
ing season have shown a curtailment in pro-
duction, while the gains during the two
mouths when gains were made were not suf-
fclent to overcome this.
SNI tailment in cut the past month was due
20 the low stage of water in the river part
OF the time. AS stated in T e 0 urn a p,
turning operations were suspended for few
days, and owing to difficulty in getting logs
to the mills of the latter operated on
only half time One of the largest mills was
down the greater part of the month for neces-
gary repairs and this reduced the total pro-
duction materially.
Demand for lumber continues steady and
without feature. 1T is promised that the res
toraton OF freight rates which have been
jzad of
month, and during the remainder of August
there should be active movement in an
ticipation of these higher rates being put into
effect
For the first time in four years shipments
for two succeeding weeks have been the
same. They were S.60S000 feet for the weel
ending Tuesday night, and the same for the
previous week. Receipts also running
closely together For the week ending Tues
day night they were $40, 0O0 feet, a decrease
Of As 900 feet from the previous week. Raj
receipts Of logs for the week are estimated

FLOWER AND TREE,

Keep begonias where the air is NOT
100 dry' and they will not drop their
leaves.
In watering house plants sufficient
should be given to soak the soil thor
oughly.
A tree Is nearly dormant in winter.
especially one that has been lately
transplanted.
Plants in a dormant state require
very little water during the winter,
and an excess will cause decay.
Drenching rosebushes with strong
quassia tea is a good curative; of. bugs
and other destructive insects and pests.
To root cuttings quickly fill saucer
full of sand, into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
Of mud.
Never give up decaying rosebush
until you have tried watering it two or
three times week with SCOT tea for a
short time.
Reporting Of plants becomes neces-
sary for two reasons-the plant uses
up the available fertility in the soil
and fills the pots with roots.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting after they come into bearing twist
and fasten two small limbs together,
and as the stem grows it will prevent
splitting.
Cuttings of quick growing herbace-
GUS plants. like heliotrope, verbena,
phlox, geranlums. root quickly, chrys.
anthemums quickest Of all. Choose
cuttings when the plants are most Wig
orous.

Government Employees Must Not So.
Iicit Increase Of Pay.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The president
has issued the following executive or.
der:
All officers and employees of the
United States of every description,
serving in or; under any of the execu-
tive departments, and whether so
serving in or out Of Washington, are
hereby forbidden, either directly or in
directly, Individually or through asso-
Citations, to solicit an increase of pay
or to influence or attempt to influence
in their own interests any legislation
whatever, whether before congress or
it's committees or in any way save
through the heads of the departments
in or under which they serve, on pen
atty Of dismissal from the government
service"
It is understood the order is the re-
suit Of complaints made by members
of congress that postofice employees,
and particularly route agents and gen
eral delivery letter carriers in their
districts, are making every possible
effort to secure legislation by congress
favorable to their interests, and in
some instances threats had been made
that unless their representatives in
congress favored such legislation they
would not be reelected. The presi.
dent is fully determined that this thing
shall cease, and it Is said that any per-
son who violates the order will be
summarily dismissed from the govern
ment service.

Criminal Executions In Prussia Still
Performed by the Headsman.
Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia in the matter Of the
execution Of criminals. The man SEN
fenced there to suffer capital punish
ment Is led to the fatal block, and his
head is chopped off with identically the
same sort Of AK as that which was
used to put a period to the career Of
Charles l. in the Tower of London on
that fateful Both of January 252 years
ago. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century execu-
ton and that Of the time of Cromwell
ls that the condemned is not put to
death publicly.
In many parts Of the German empire
the guillotine has taken the place of
the gallows and the block, but in Prus.
sia old fashioned justice clings tena-
clously to the old fashions, and not
the rope nor the automatic knife nor
the power Of electricity has been able to
displace the broadax as the laws off,
cial implement of death. The only
concession made to modern sentiment
Is in the garb Of the executioner.
This functionary does not, as in the
earlier times, dress in doublet and hose
and hide his ensanguined identity be-
hind frightsome mask. Instead, he
appears at the execution garbed in
frock coat Of somber hue and correct
cut, and he wears upon his head, even
when delivering the death stroke, a tall
silk hat. His three assistants are sim
ilarly attired.
Why this garb was chosen no one
can say authoritatively. It is one of
those things the origin Of which an.
pears to have been forgotten with the
originators. But it is the lawful cos
tune, prescribed in the regulations,
which apply also to the twelve civil
ian witnesses who must attend an ex-
ecution, with the result that a stranger
witness is unable to say until the ax
has fallen which of the other fifteen
silk hated, frock coated individuals
grouped about him is the man who
lives by death.-sNew York Press.
