BEVY OF PRETTY STENOGRAPHERS
ENLlVENED GRAND JURY ROOMS

East Side agent for the company. English
was in the mems waiting room. through
which the young woman had to pass as she
came out of the Grand Jury room.

of the girls, who had been among the first
to arrive, said: "Oh. dear, 1 wonder If

About 4 o'clock a strange young woman
was admitted to the room through some
intrigue or other. In few minutes after
she arrived the girls obtained informa ton
that she was newspaper woman.
They had not been talking about the
case, but their idle chatter had been at
tentively listened to. The young women
Immediately ceased talking and did not re-
sumo their conversation until after Deputy
Sheriff Noonan had escorted the stranger
from the room.
Attempts to get the young women to pose
for photographs were futile. I'VE are not
seeking notoriety in this NATTER said one
of the young women. I'VE were employed
in the offices OF E. J. Arnold & Co. Just as

New York. Feb 12.-The New York offices

Louis. were closed this morning.
These offices are in the st. James build

the firm had failed and rumors that other
turf firms were on the verge Of collapse
sent crowds of those who had invested in
the company to the manager, r. j. Ran

permitted to withdraw their accounts.
There were many others Of the anxious
ones who went to the office to-day. only to
find the door locked and the rooms deserted.
By IL o'clock a little group had gathered
before the door.
"Oh. yes," one of them laughed 'of

The St. Louis Republic., 1903-02-13

So many well-dressed young women have
not graced the lily furnished Grand Jury
witness-rooms at the Four Courts In a long
time as were present yesterday when the
thirteen employees of Arnold & Co. arrived
The young women were In jovial mood
as they waited to be called before the
Grand Jury. but several confessed that they
felt little nervous at the ordeal when once
they got before the twelve men who in
quire SO carefully into affairs that come
under their notice.
The arrival at the Arnold offices of As

deputy sherifrs and detectives spoiled a
pleasant afternoon for one Of the clerks.

"Oh my. was going to the matinee this

Upon their arrival at the Four Courts the
young ladies were taken to the office Of
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hancock.

Grand Jury room. Here they enjoyed them
selves for nearly four hours.

Co. the Christy Syndicate and other con-
GERMS
A large crowd had gathered at the en-
trance to the building before the Inter
national offices were opened. and at noon
probably 800 persons were in line. The firm
had been paying on demand ever since the
run began, but this did not seem to restore
confidence Then. too, yesterdays crowd
was largely augmented by the arrival OF
subscribers from the country. who did not
trust 10 the mails as medium Of demand
ing their money back.
Secretary Ross said to The Republic:
We paid out between the opening hour
and 2 o'clock about $4,000 making the to-
tai paid out since the run began about
100000. We did not stop paying because
We had no more money. but because ii
large hole had been made in our pile, and
We thought 1t best to take thirty days to
pay the rest in We are not broke. We
have in the safe in this Office about 900.
and this morning refused an offer made by
New Orleans friend of $4,000.
Our contract has the thirty-day clause.

liable for the debts of the concern, and
there is nothing in our contracts that would
warrant in doing So.
There were many pathetic scenes after
the announcement was made. About
O'Clock a pale thin woman. past the middle
age. in widows weeds, stepped up to the
cashiers desk and presented her certificate
to be cashed. When informed that the
thirty-day clause would be enforced, her
lips trembled and she turned sadly away.
She gave as her reason for investing Slo0
in the concern. that she was poor and had
children dependent upon her. She said that
the money belonged to the little ones. ana
she had invested 1t in order to give them
an education with the a.d Of the weekly
per cent dividends that she had been told
would always be available. She had called
Wednesday but had been told that she had
better come back when the crowd would
not be so great.

all the investors in town were the patrons

concern was Texas Tom" Walsh. but his
Office was closed and he could be found
nowhere about the building. A notice
pinned to the door stated that the office
was closed until further notice and the
employees of the building were kept busy
by a stream of persons who wanted to
know more about their prospects.
The managers of the Christy syndicate

itors asked for temporary receiver. on the
ground that there was reason to believe

United States District Attorney Dyer said
yesterday that the Federal Grand Jury
would. not make any investigation of the
case before 1t adjourns, today or to-mor-
row. When 1t reconvenes, he said. the mat
ter would be ripper for investigation. and it
is probable the body will then make an off,
cial inquiry into the methods of turf-invest-
ment companies.
Post Office Inspector Dice said he had
not received any complaints against any OF
the concerns. He said he believed that
action by the State courts would be pro-
ductive of better results in these cases and
ion.

PROFITS OF COOPERATIVE SCHEME
ATTRACTED MANY TURF NOTABLES.

William Christy. the head of the Christy-
ONeill syndicate is scion of one of the
oldest and most respected families in St.
Louis. Christy avenue was named for his
grandfather.
Mr. Christy is dark-skinned. grey-haired
man of some 50 years old. He is about 5
feet inches in height and stout. Heir to
considerable valuable downtown property.
Mr.. Christy has always lived the life of a
gentleman turfman. He has owned and
trained many good horses in his time. His
last good horse was Doctor Burns, a high
ly-rated 2-year-old, who became wind
broken when he looked like a prospective
Derby winner last year.
Mr. Christy always races about st. Louis
He does not bet very largely on his small
stable nowadays. He has tendency to
pick long shots. He never was rated as a
money-seeker He seemed to prefer the
life of gentleman of leisure. and to have
no ambition beyond having a pleasant time
and owning a good horse.
Mr.. Christy's partner. John O'Neill is a
famous poolroom operator. He always had
owned or had an interest In local pool
room until the breeders law spoiled that
business in this State. For the past two
or three years he has been race-track
employe. He was clerk in a book at the
Far Grounds last year.
PROMINENT NAMES IDENTIFIED
WITH INTERNATIONAL COMPANY.
Nobody seemed to know of the existence
of the International concern until the
crowds on sixth and Olive streets DIS
covered its location. Its manager, MIR.
Hogue, claims to be a Texan. and is not
known on the turf or in st. Louis. 1t is
said that some substantial and responsible
st Louis people are behind this concern
among them a well-known turIman, whose
family is as old as St. Louis. Another
reputed owner of this. concern is a hotel
man and third is a theatrical manager.
The manner in which this company is so
far paying all claims. without asking for
time. is said to be due to the connection of
these well-lSnown and substantial citizens
with It, Rather than have their names
known in connection with such an enter
prise these men have drawn on their pri-
vate funds to carry the concern through.
Tom Walsh. manager of the United Turf
Investment Company. is native OF St
Louis. He was originally newsboy about
the old Planters Hotel. He afterwards led
the life of a card player in Texas and the
West and earned the sobriquet of Texas
