VIOLATED BANKING LAW.
Prominent Meu of Grand Rapids
Mich, Plead Guilty to the Charge.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 5.-Ex.
City Attorney Liant X. Salisbury and
Stilson Macleod yesterday pleaded
guilty in the United States circuit
court to the charge of violating the
United States banking law. 1t was
charged that they obtained more
than $4,000 from a national bank
upon fraudulent checks. The money
was afterwards paid back. Macleod
was formerly teller of the bank and
manager of the local clearing house,
and was aided in the fraud by his Of
fetal position. The discovery of the
crime came as an outcome of the
municipal water supply scandal.
Salisbury, in entering his plea of
guilty, read statement of his bank
ing troubles and his connection with
the water scandal. He says that he
became involved in debt to the extent
of $4,000 by stock and grain specu-
lations and was extended financial
accommodations at the bank by S. v.
Macleod. Later he felt obliged to
assist Macleod and they resorted to
further speculation, increasing the
Indebtedness $4,000 through over
uTdlOS. AZ bldb IlllS, odlSbuly Sdy -
he did not understand that any crimi-
nal consequences were attached to
his bank transactions. This was in
December, 1899. In the early part of
1900, he met r. A. Cameron, the al
legged water contract promoter, and
planned to get through him $4,000 to
settle the bank accounts. He declares
that it was never his purpose to use
any of this money for bribery, and
that he did not even promise Cam
eron contract from the city.
81 felt that no serious wrong would
be done if those who were seeking to
saddle fraudulent contract upon the
city, lost some of the money which
they were so ready to use for cor
rupt purposes in the attempt" says
Salisbury.
He failed to get the $4,000 and
then secured the $4,000, which was
sent here as Doodle fund, arranged
with Macleod to take care of the
bank obligations and turn the remain
der to him. He declares Macleod
gave him something over $4,000 and
that he obtained enough from other
sources to make up the $4,000 and
that it was returned to Mr.. Gates
II. 4. Taylor's agent.
In conclusion, he denies that he
ever, directly or indirectly, offered
money or other inducement to any
city official for the support of any
water proposition.

New York, March 5.-The directors

crops with the owlish gravity of a cor
ner grocery conclave. The recent
drought gave the street farmers (who
are interested in railroads, not in
farms) a shock; the abnormal heat
threw them into a fever, and the fol-
lowing cold wave afflicted them with
chills. And there is reason. Railroad
stocks are very high only continu-
ance of big earnings will justify such
prices. Last falls corn crop was very
bad; another such. and high prices will

standing room: the rest have chance
to try again. Last week l spent half
an hour watching the riot, and came
away wondering how any one should
dare to live in Brooklyn when the
daily home going was fraught with
such perils. Picture to yourself
mass of men and women-unhapplly
even young children are sometimes in
the melee-lined up in a tight-packed
mass, twenty or twenty-five deep. The
narrow width of track is kept free
by the incessant patrol of police and
street car company inspectors, While
on the other side is second mass.
Shouts and cries are heard from the
other end: the crowd begins to sway.
The fender of a trolley car appears,
edging it's way along by little jerks
pushing men away, catching in the
dresses of terrified women. The crowd
breaks like a wave upon the car.
Clamors fill the air: Keep back!
Don't crowd" Stop showing there and
take your time!" shout the police and
ing breath. The half-frenzied mob
brushes them aside. Men with heads
down and shoulders forward ram their
way through the crowd. Elbows are
used freely. Here and there you see
a fist lifted; it descends, generally on
the wrong person. Sometimes it Is
wedged in air and projects like a sig
nal, stiffly impotent. This happened
to a man last week, and his arm was
dislocated, perhaps deservedly. All
the time the air is filled with cries and
groans. Look out where you're go
ing" Make room, here's a
woman fainted!" Look out,
she's down." "Oh. you're crushing
me-" my arm, Let me get it loose"
there, I'll fix that fellow" Hold him;
keep him back" No, let 'em fight
it out" Stop blocking the way!"
Make way there!" And so it goes.
The incessant changing of the gongs
adding to tthe pandemonium. AS soon
as one car is filled up, the battle is re-
sumed with the coming of the next.
Perhaps this may seem overdrawn.
Half an hour of watching will con-
vince any one that it isn't. There are
records too: two policemen sent to the
hospital with broken bones; a fireman
laid off with a fractured leg; steady
list of street car inspectors laid up for
repairs, and daily injuries, more or less
serious, to persons in the crowd. Both
the city authorities and the State
Board of Railroad Commissioners have
been investigating the bridge problem,
as a matter of public menace, but no
method of relief has yet been devised.

of part of the reform element against
District Attorney Jerome. The Brook

ewski's wrist is comparatively small
but it is made up of steele wires. and
his driving power with a cue is some
thing appalling. l saw him one even
ing at a club here, breaking the pyra-
mid of pool balls for practice, and
when some of thte balls didn't jump
the table Gas frequently happened) he
scattered them so completely that it
was easy for him to run them all
down.
Another pianist of marvellous mus
cular power is young Josef Hoffman.
In him it is the more remarkable be-
cause he is so small and slight and
frail looking. At a dinner party last
winter, at which a number of the men
were prominent amateur athletes in
enc sport or another, the young artist
was induced to show some of his feats
of wrist and forearm power. After
juggling with heavy chairs he took on
the men one after another, at wrist
bending. Probably nine out of ten of
his opponents could have easily tossed
him through the window in a. wrest-
ling bout, yet he overcame them at this
test, and forced hand' after hand to
the table, with ridiculous ease except
in one case. The man who gave him
a tussle is a crack oarsman and rae
quet player. When he finally retired
breathless and defeated, he exclaimed:
THAT fellow hasn't got mans arm,
he's got a gorilla's."
Collecting fraudulent claims from
accident insurance companies is a
queer form of swindling, but it has
apparently proven a remunerative one
to the gang which has been at work
in this city and Brooklyn for several
years. Experts say that this company
of eighteen or twenty swindlers have
collected probably five millions of dol
lars since they began operations, much
of which, however was expended in
the carrying out of their schemes. The
method is simple. One of the gang
falls from a street or is apparently
injured in a ferry crush. Others of
the crowd, apparently strangers to him,
run to his assistance. He is taken to
the home of a doctor (who is also in
the swindle) and there kept under
treatment(O for a varying period.
Sometimes he is pounded by his ac-
completes for the production of suit
able bruises. Cases have been known
where open sores were produced by
artificial means known of old to beg
CARS and gypsies. With a doctors
certificate and with plenty of Witness
es the fakir has little difficulty in get
ting a settlement from the insurance
company whose policy he holds. AL
though the insurance people have
known for a long time that this kind
of swindling was going on, until last
week they were never able to make
an arrest. Now, although they hope
to break up the practice, they vir
tually admit that they cannot reach
the organizers of the scheme, who
must have made a pretty penny out
of 1t.
