New York, Aug. 21.-what Is considered
the biggest roundup of green goods
swindlers ever made by the Federal au-
thorities in this city was announced to-day.
Five men n a woman were taken into
custody and an entire green goods plant was
captured.
Fou. of the prisoners. Joseph r. Baker.
Elmer Brown. S. Gottlieb and the ~latter's
wife were arrested in Newark and George
Brown and Thomas Henry were arrested
in this city.
According TO Post Office Inspector Michael
BOYLE, he has secured as complainant
against the prisoners Antonio Caperess, a
butcher of New Haven. Conn, who paid

turn.
Many complaints of green goods victims
lave reached the Post Office recently and

FACTS NOT VERIFIED
IN PENSION CLAIM
Government Holds Poplar Bluff,
Mo, Notary on Charge of
Making False Affidavit.

Marshal Morsey ami Deputy Nall have re-
turned from Poplar Bluff. Mo-. where they
attended the hearing of John W. Holleck.
a notary public. wEo is charged with
making a false pension affidavit and in
hueneing his mother to do likewise. The
Hollecks attempted to assist Mrs. Eliza
A Davis 10 obtain a pension after the
death of her husband. Henry ]. Davis.
former member of the Fourteenth Illinois
Cavalry.
Mrs. Davis was formerly Mrs. John
Woods and prior to that a Miss Moore.
Her husband worked for the Scotia Iron
Company in Crawford County, Missouri, but
the furnace there was closed and he took
his wife and children to Stoddard County.
From Spring Hill, Mo-. he disappeared
in 1876. They were en- route for Kentucky at
the time. The application claimed that
Woods was drowned. Holleck, supported
by his mother, said that Woods fell out
OF a wagon while suffering from heart
disease and that he Holleck) had made the
coffin in which Woods was buried near
the spot.
Mrs. Woods, after remaining widowed for
five years and having in the meantime
moved TO Rolla. Mo-, where her father
was a retired Methodist preacher met Davis
and he married her. He died five years
later at Richfeld, Mo. Mrs. Davis had been
drawing $2 a month on a pension after her
first husband died and as her second hus-
band had been a soldier she applied for
a pension in his Ease also. 1t was here
that she asked Holleck to assist her.
Holleck said he fell into the error of
accepting the statements of others as mat
tiers OF fact and was thus misled. His moth
er signed a mark for her name before
another notary named Williams.
The attention of the Pension Examiners
was attracted to the case through the dis
crepancy as to the cause of Woods death
contained in the widow Davis's and Notary
Holleck's afidavits and an inquiry was or
dered. AS a result the Government had
two witnesses to Offset Holleck's testimony.
John Newcomer Of Ardeola, Mo-, who said
he made all the collins near the Spring
Hill neighborhood for forty years, testified
that Holleck must nave been only II years
old when the alleged burial occurred.
Newcomer had never heard of Woods dying.
F. L. Foster,a merchant there. also testified
saying he had helped to raise a purse 10
assist Mrs. Woods to get to Rolla-
The Governments surprise was in bring
the wedding of Woods, who said he had
spoken with Woods some years after the
alleged death.
Holleck, in default of furnishing 81 900
bond was held for trial later.

the teachers OF Cooper County to-day and
met a merited reproof. 1t was taken for
granted that the teachers would not re-
fuse to pass a resolution favoring the
adoption of the proposed constitutional
amendment, but to the surprise of those
gentlemen the teachers refused to be used
for political purposes and promptly tabled
the whole matter. The action of the teach
