LOANED MUCH MONEY
TO PlERPoNT MORGAN.
Dummy Telephone Aided Swindie-
to Capture His "Suckers"
Successfully.

PARIS. Nov. I'm. Boulaine,
one of the most famous of French
lswindlers, has escaped from the po-
| lice and is at liberty. He escaped
from two detectives while being
taken from court back to his prison.
Boulaine is known all over Eu-
rope and has operated his swindling
banks in all parts of the continent.
Many persons of note, including. it
is said, former President CasiMir
Perier, were among his dupes.
Boulaine would go into town
and there establish bank, branch
of some one of half dozen sup
posed banks in Paris. He would
rent the most magnificent apart
ments to be had and would spend
money like water. AS soon as ne
succeeded in getting a large sum
into his company or bank he would
decamp, leaving his dupeS with
nothing to show for the imr2ense
sums which he had received.
| One of his most successful tricks
for gaining the confidence of his
victims was done by means of a
telephone. This telephone stood on
the desk of his private Office, but
it was a dummy. When his victim
appeared to have some fears Bou-
laine would ring the telephone bell
by means of button concealed UNI
der the arm of his chair, and would
answer the telephone, making the
victim believe that the message
came from Baron Rothschild, Pier
pont Morgan, or any other great
| financier He would, over the tele-
phone. agree to let the supposed
financier have large sum of money
and would arrange to go to dinner
with him that night that they might
talk the matter over. This game
seldom failed to work. Boulaine's
stealings are said to have amounted
to millions.

HOFFMAN
Preacher Held as a Vagrant
to Leave Town

Rev. Paul Groschupf of the Ger
man Lutheran church said last eve
ming to Press reporter in response
to a question whether or not Paul
Hoffman, arrested for vagrancy,
was a minister, that it was a mat
ter he could not determine without
time to make an investigation, and
he did not think it worth while to
consider at length.
Mr.. Groschupf said he had called
on the prisoner at the city Jail and
held lengthy conversation with
him, at the conclusion OF which he
had decided to withdraw all pre-
ferred charges against Hoffman and
will not appear against the old gen.
tleman, but was willing he should
be liberated.
! The one main cause, 1t is stated,
for having Hoffman arrested was
that he persisted in begging money
from members of the German Luth'
eran congregation on a pretense
that Mr.. Groschupf had sent him
with the message to receive help
Hoffman told Rev. Groschupf that
if he was liberated from his cell in
the Jail he would leave the city at
jOnce and forever.

Whether the resignation of Croker
from the Tammany leadership means
his real, or only his nominal. resigna-
ton is a question open to debate. 1t
may be that the boss has had some
things driven through his wool by the
recent election and yearns to spend his
declining years with his ill-gOtten
wealth in this English estate, far from
the turmoil of politics. But New York
will be very much surprised if he does
MT continue to be the power behind the
throne on which he has placed his
lieutenant, Nixon.

After all the row made, last fall
over the eligibility of Cults, Harvard's
giant tackle, it is extremely humiliat-
ing to Harvard to be forced now to ad-
nit that her position was wrong and
that he had no right in the Yale game
where he was such a prominent factor
in winning the victory. 1t is really a
trivial and technical matter upon
which his professionalism is based, but
such are the matters that make or mar
athletic honor, and Harvard is in q
most uncomfortable position. The
incident shows that it isn't safe to
trust the memory Of an ambitious
athlete.

We may learn a lesson from the above.
Not always those who make the most

cry reason to think that they are all
right simply because they present 4
fair exterior or seem to be creating
considerable stir in the wOrld-not al
ways by any means are these the ones
whose presence is making the world so
much better. Walk out into the fields

their musical chirp while many great
cattle lie in the shade and are silent.
