The Story of a Great Swindte.

Sensational allegations of wilful mis-
statement, Justification. swindling and
fraud in the organization and floating
of the United States S~hipbuilding COM
pany, of attempts to mislead and de-
ceive the investing public by erroneous
prospectus statements and of a delib-
crate plan to wreck the company by
Withholding the earnings of the Beth
lehem Steel company, are contained in
the report of Receiver James Smith, jr.,
of the shipbuilding company made
public at New York Sunday. The re-
port concludes with the recommended
ton that suit be brought against all
persons who received stock of the COM
pany without paying full value there
for, including the promoters of the
consolidation, the vendors of the con-
stituted plants and Charles NJ. Schwab,
to recover from them such amount as
necessary to pay the debts of the con-
Germ in full. The story of the ship
building trust, a recent suit against
which has brought out sc much sem
sational testimony is as follows:
Charles NJ. Schwab paid S7,200,000 for
a controlling interest In the Bethlehem
steel plant. He sold it to the United
States Shipbuilding company, or to
Messrs. Dresser and Nixon, represent
ing that for S7,246,S71 in cash
and $1O,O 200, 900 each in common and
preferred stock of the shipbuild1ng
at par. InlS sale was H1aue
through ]. P. Morgan & Co, and So
900, 900 par value, of stock went to that
firm. There was, according to Mr.. Dres-
ser's testimony. a secret agreement
with Harris, Gates Co.. to market h
stock of the shipbuilding company.
with the p~roviso that the Schwab and
Morgan stock was to be sold first, the
preferred at SOS a share and h COM
mon at S25 a share, which would net
Mr.. Schwab 81 500, 600 in addition to
the s7,246,S71 paid in cash, and would
leave Mr.. Morgan s2,250,000 for his
commission. Harris, Gates Co. were
unable to market the stock, n later
Mr.. Schwab purchased Mr.. Morgan's
stock for SIS. 200, which seems to be all
that the Morgan firm got out of the
deal The stock of the building COM
pany, both classes. is now worth 81 a
share. What Schwab planned to sell
to the public at $4,000. 900 is now worth
SO, 900, Dresser's testimony came
out in the hearing in the suit brought
against the shipbuilding company by
of the bondholders. 1t created a
sensation in financial circles and helped
to demoralize the market.

Am nntopsy on the body of Mrs. Marv

An autopsy on the body of Mrs. Mary
r.. Halliday who died suddenly at Nj
agara Falls. N. Y, last week. showed
that death was caused by two pieces of
corset steel in her heart. Their total
length was eight and three-quarters
inches. Where they rubbed together
the end were worn to a razor edge by
the movement of her body. There is
no information as to how or when the
steel entered her body. None of Mrs.
H~alliday's relatives ever heard her
complain of an accident of the kind.
The doctors say it may have been
swallowed and worked its way from
the intestines to the heart, or might
have penetrated the skin and worked
around until found. She was AZ years
old and the mother of six children.
