SUCCESS As A COLLECTOR
Smooth Man from Chicago Gathers Light
Harvest in Omaha.
pEERAyps TWO WHOLESALE HOUSES
Represents Himself as Agent of Col
IectinE Firm, Gets Fees in Ad-
vance and Disappears with
Proceeds of Enterprise.

A we'll dressed good-looking stranger,
who struck the city some time ago and re-
NAMED two weeks, succeeded in working
several wholesale dealers out OF various
sums OF money aggregating several hundred
dollars. The stranger, who did business
under the name of Charles II. Mason, rep
resented that he was an agent for the Con-
solidated Adjustment company OF Chicago,
which company is rated well in Bradstreet's.
This morning two letters in answer to let
ters Of inquiry sent by wholesale dealers
here to the Arm stated that Charles H.
Mason was never in the employ OF the firm
and that the dealers had been worked by a
forger.
Mason stated that It was his business to
make contracts for the firm to collect bad
debts. His work was the same in each
case. At one wholesale liquor house he
made a contract to collect 81. 235.s2. He had
his work down so fine that in a short time
he figured that 1t would cost S62.24 to col
lect this amount. providing that be was
given three years in which to do 1t. The
drm was to stand half this expense and the
collecting agency the other half. The local
nrm was to pay its half in advance. In
each instance the firm did so.
To make himself strong with the local
dealers, Mason shove them a number of
letters from various firms throughout the
county which had been written to his firm
in regard to business done with the agency.
He also carried with him a letter signed
by the secretary of the collecting agency,
authorizing him to make contracts for the
firm and endorse checks made payable to
the firm.
Was Here Two Weeks.
To the arm thai gave Mason accounts
aggregating S1,235.s2 he agreed to collect
$780, 3 OF the amount or refund the part
Of the expense account which It had adj
vanced. Mason remained two weeks, dur
ing which time each OF the firms upon
which he had made contracts received a
lettor from the agency acknowledging the
receipt of the contract made by Mason and
duplicates Of the accounts given to him.
These letters were written on the station
cry upon which was the name OF the firm
and the officers and to which the name of
the secretary, z. e. Gourley, had been
signed.
Several days ago the dealers thought that
something was wrong. not hearing from
their accounts, and wrote to the firm. The
answer came yesterday morning. denouncing
Mason as a fraud, and saying that the firm
had received no contracts from the dealers
here. The collecting agency wrote that It
would do all It could TO bring about the mans
arrest and would prosecute him to the full
extent Of the law. Mason has disappeared.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PROJECT

San Diego papers take exceptions 10 the articles which have appeared in Los Angeles papers regarding the re- ported intention of the Southern Pa cihc company to build from Imperial to San Diego, transferring their main line to Imperial. The position of the San Diego papers, while not fully set forth, seems to be the very sensible one that, after making the survey for the San DiegoEastern road, the peo- pie of that city cannot afford to take any intangible promises of the build ing of road as excuse for decreasing the energy put forth to secure road. The way to get the road is to get it, and the people of San Diego would be very foolish if they should in any de gree reduce the very creditable enter prise they arc manifesting in going out to make road for themselves.

THE fact is now revealed why cer- tain persons in San Diego want to cecede from California and be annexed to Arizona. It is because California laws prevent duck hunting when ducks are ripe in this region. It does not seem to have occurred to the promoters of this fool scheme that it might be easier 10 get the duck law amended than to cut themselves off from Cali forna. Just at this time, when San Diego is getting in shape to take a more prominent place in the affairs of Southern California and when the fates are working in her favor, 1t is particularly unfortunate that the city should have an eruption of this form of imbecility.

IT is by almost imperceptibe stages that the town grows. Six months ago d buggy was a novelty on the streets of Imperial, so new was the country. Today there is scarcely a time when they are not to be seen. Yet the change in this and other respects is so gradual that one must recall the con ditions of few months since to meas ure the progress.

THE cry is going up from all over the State that the present greatest op- portunity in agriculture is in the pro duction of staples.

JOHN DENTON STEELE has written d poem in which he speaks of Los Ang- eleS as:
 "Queen of the farwest, t,rose-garlanded,
 azure-zoned, radiantly lovely; On throne of amethyst, gold
 chased, emerald embossed, Under dome of stainless sapphire,
 sun-illumined, and curtained with
 silver"
 That is to say nothing of neighbor- ing copper and tin mines. But if such is Los Angeles, why is it necessary to call on Congress for a paltry million dollars to build postoffice?

The Press has been at work for weeks gathering important infor- nation regarding this whale, only to let contemporaries get in first with the story. Now all we can do is to give the additional information that about the year S+62 B. C. this whale got stranded in the lake about the spring of natural gin, where it has been tloundering around ever since in d drunken debauch.

New York Cotton Futures.
Mnrnhv 6. co.,s cotton Letter.

New York. November 5.-specuiation in cotton was resumed in a spiritless man. ner, the result of elections being accepted by the bulls as an incentive for support. but there was anything but eagerness to buy in the early market since cables were anything but encouraging, and moreover, the developments over the holiday were too unimportant to influence buyers or sellers. More or less rain fell, especially in Texas, but at no point was there any thing like freezing weather. As regards the movement of the crop. the trade is paying little attention to it. The idea is gaining ground that to bring in new buyers prices must recede to a much lower point unless developments in the near future settle beyond doubt that the crop is only moderate, and about this there is not enough enthusiasm at this time to work to the advantage of those who scant the idea of a large crop. Many believe 1t will require considerably less receipts to dispel the notion of crop half a million below last year, since con- siderable holding is reported at number of points. Prices eased off to 6 points, the first on commission house selling, as- sisted by Europe, while Manchester re- ports had it that many looms would stop running.
 Port receipts 5200O bales, against 56.O0o last year. Cables were irregular at 3 to 4 points down.

HEAVY RECEIPTS AT PORTS

New York, November 1.-The cotton market opened steady with prices one point lower to two points higher the prospects of colder weather ovs the western belt being responsible for the better feeling. Soon after the call weak ness developed and for the rest of the day the tendency was downward under feverish general selling, in which the Wall street pool seemed to be taking large part.
 Heavy receipts at the ports and in terior towns, light export clearanees, weakness in many of the southern spot markets and predictions for increasing receipts. all operated to check investment business and to accelerate the pressure from the bear side.
 A factor of no small importance was the reported estimate by Neill of Il, 400 GOO bales minimum for the season. Liverpool was quick to catch the selling spirit from this side and at the close was down to 4 points, with sentiment abroad report ed by private cables to be distinctly bear ish on the liberal receipts. While the late weather forecast for the western belt promises colder conditions, with general frost. the trade was in no mood to buy cotton on the news, but was greatly dis turbed by the sudden weakness in the stock market.
 Very heavy selling under these reports occurred in the last hour, with the mar ket at the close irregular and net 12 to 14 points lower. The south and commission houses sold the March and May deliveries freely in the last half hour. Total sales were estimated at S50,000 bales.

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, November 5.-There Is good demand for spot cotton. Factors are generally asking board figures but the trend of prices are distinctly toward lower level Sales 5900 bales including 2900 to arrive, quotations of middling and lower grades reduced 1-16c. The market for futures was fairly active and es- pecially for the December, January March and May positions The opening range of values was just shade below that of Monday. Soon after the opening prices fell off to g points. Commission orders and active room trading caused an advance of a few points but this was fol- lowed by renewed downward fluctuations that left values at the close 13 to 15 points below Mondays closing figures
