INSURED DYING PEOPLE.
Clever Italian Scheme to Defraud Life
Insurance Companies.

New York, Feb. 11.-An exposure Of
the methods of the conspirators in the
recently discovered Italian life insur-
anee frauds, was made, today, by the
confession of one of the men concerned,
to Assistant District Attorney Krotel.
1t appears that the frauds have been in
operation for 10 years, during which
time the insurance companies have
been defrauded by hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars. In one instance COM
pany paid out $4,000 on one fraudulent
risk. The head of the conspiracy, Mr..
krotel says. was Bartolomeo Cirini.
who was recently arrested and release
under $4,000 bail. Cirini is said to have
disappeared and his bond will be or
dered forfeited.
The usual plan of operations was TO
make an application for insurance in
the name Of some person in a practi-
cally dying condition, a healthy subject
being presented for medical examina-
ton.
SO well organized was the scheme
Mr. krotel says that there was a regu-
Iariy appointed board of directors that
used to meet every week to discuss the
payments of premiums falling due.

Boulder, Colo, Feb. 11.-Charles J..

Fair. who, with her husband, was kill
ed in an automobile accident at Paris,
says that the compromise arranged be-
tween his mother, Mrs. Nelson and Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt.
sister of Charles Fair in disposition of
the estate OF Mr. Fair, will be opened on
the ground that Mrs. Nelson was in
luenced through fraud and false rep
resentation into accepting the settle
ment. Mr.. Smith asserts that his
mother was very ill and in no condition
20 transact business when she went to
San Francisco after her daughter
death, and that it was falsely repre-
scented to her that cablegrams had been
received to the effect that Mrs. Fair
and her husband died at the same time
whereas. it is known, Mr. Smith de-
clares, thot Mrs. Fair lived 80 minutes
after Mr.. Fair had passed away. His
family proposed to have its share of the
Fair estate and all that Mrs Charles
Fair was entitled to, or nothing. He
announced his intention of applying
for a ne" appraisement Of the estate.
! MIR. Smith also said the sale of certain
property at Riverside, n. Y, would be
contested because Mrs. Fair did not
join in the transfer.
Mr.. Smith promises great surprises
TO the other side when affidavits are
taken from Mrs. Fairs maid, the
chauffeur, the gate keeper and others
: living at the house where Mrs Fair
was taken after the accident are made
public.
New York, Feb. IA most important
point has, according to the Americans
Paris correspondent, been scored for
Mrs. Hannah Nelson of New Jeresy,
and the other claimants to the estate
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles l.. Fair, by the
filing of an affidavit before the United
States consul here by DR.. Perliquet, the
physician who examined the bodies of
the Fairs after the fatal automobile ac-
cident, that Charles Fair died before
DIS wife.
This affidavit is at variance with the
doctors original statement that both
the Fairs were killed instntaneously,
but the doctor now claims that his af-
tidavit is backed up by medical evil
dence beyond dispute. and it is declared
that his first statement was made upon
the impulse of the moment and with
out regard to the greatness of the in
terasts at stake.
In all there are IL witnesses whose
evidence will be of material use to the
contestants for the Fair millions and
the lawyers here say that the proof is
incontestable. Several of these wit
nesses will be sent to New York and the
dispositions of the others will be sent.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A. Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In its earlier stages catarrh Is more
of a nuisance than a menace to the
general health, but sooner or later. the
disease extends to the throat, bronchial
tubes and even to the stomach and in
ss.nes
Catarrh is essentially disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucous.
stoppage of the nostrils. irritation in
throat. causing coughing. sneezinE.
gagging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local DOUGH-
es. snuffs. salves, etc, often gives tenn
Dorary relief, but anything like a cure
can only be obtained by a treatment
which removes the catarrhal faint from
the blood and the disappearance of the
Inflammation from the mucous sur
faces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi~
cine as they are composed of such val
udDlC ICDituItS do DiOOo fOOts l1yuId0~
tin, Red Gum and similar cleansing an
tiseptics, which cure by eliminating
from the blood and mucous surfaces
the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges taken intern
ally, allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat. fauces and the entire ALL
meI;tary canal.
If desired. they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in adj
dition to the internal use, but 1t Is not
at all necessary to use a douche; a few
of them dissolved in the mouth daily
will be sufficient. However, wh.n
there is much stoppage of the nose, a
douche made from these tablets will
give Immediate relief, but the regular
daily use internally of these tablets
will cure the whole catarrhal trouble
without resorting to the inconvenience
of douche
DIR. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of dOuching
and loca, application and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as
no secret - made of their composition
and all the really efficient remedies for
catarrh are contained in this tablet"
