in terms Of indignation regarding the
published rumors. and said she was
not interested in any persons matrl-
monial affairs. The only people who
are apt to get into trouble, she added,

these silly rumors.
When asked if she knew Senator
Platt, she said; "Of course, know

years. He has always been friendly
to me. and Iesteem him highly. l re-
gret the publication of these ridicu-

To a reporter Senator Platt said: Il

II is said New York Bankers viii Take

Havana, Oct 15.-Dr Mendez Ca
pote, president of the Cuban senate,
and a member Of the loan commission
which has just returned from New
York. speaks hopefully of the pros
poets of the loan, which he expects
will be carried through in January
He says that the difficulties were the
shortness of money in New York and
the condition of the loan law that the
loan should go by public bids. More
over, the American bankers want the
surplus customs receipts as a primary
guarantee.
DR. Capote says the bankers agree to
the rate of issue. namely 80 at 5 per
cent. He has discussed the situation
with President Palma. The Cuban
government will decide whether the
loan shall be offered in Europe. DR..
Capote considers this unnecessary.

REEKING WITH FRAUD
TACOMA MATCH COMPANY
of the Concern Exposed in
Suit In the Superior Court
Of Pierce County.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct 19.-In the SUI
perior court Saturday last Judge Smell
gave his opinion in the case Of Null
holland against The Washington Match
company, holding the plaintiff had
been induced by fraudulent represen-
tations to subscribe for $500 OF stock
and was entitled to recover his
money.
The court declared the methods
of the company were reeking with
fraud and were a worthy subject for
the prosecuting attorneys OF King and
Pierce counties. The court said:
'"The plaintiff, Mulholland, purchas-
ed the stock upon the representations
made to him through the authorized
prospectus issued by the company and
from the statements OF its officers
that the company owned what is
known as Holes invention ana patent
for a wonderful machine for making
as many matches at one-ffth the cost
of labor as any other machine In ex-
istence. c asr
1T also appeared from the evidence
that nearly 1000 different persons
had purchased stock in said company
and paid cash therefor, amounting
In all to $4,000. Now, from the evi.
dence in this case. l find that Holes
never had any invention of such q
machine as advertised, or, in fact, any
machine, and that no patent was ever
issued for any match machine.
From these facts and others, which
appear in evidence, I am satisfied that
this corporation was begotten in
fraud and was nothing more or less
than a scheme devised to sell stock,
and in this manner get hold of the
money of unsuspecting persons. The
whole transaction is reeking with
fraud and corruption.
1T appears to me this is q proper
subject for the prosecuting attorneys
of Pierce and King counties to in,
vestigate" One Of the early pros.
pectuses issued is signed James
Hamilton Lewis, PRESIDENT A few
years ago Lewis stated that he would
refund any money paid for stoch
where the purchaser had been induced
to buy through Lewis connection
with. the company, but it is not known
that any money has been refunded NJ

st. Louis, Oct. 19-"Within go
days every one of the Exposition's
great exhibit palaces will be finished
and the installation of exhibits will
be well under way"
President David R. Francis of the
louisiana Purchase Exposition gave
voice to these words during his ad-
dress at the dedication of the Travel
ers' Protective Associations hand
some building just completed at the
Worlds Fair.
The day witnessed two important
events-the dedication of the T. P. A.
building and the breaking Of the
ground for the star-shaped building
that will be built on the plateau OF
states by Texas. Interesting and i'm.
pressive ceremonies marked each
event. t-9
Not since last May, when President
Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland de
livered the principal addresses on the
occasion of the formal dedication Of
the Worlds Fair grounds, has such
crowd assembled
President Francis said in the
course of his address:
mo other exposition was ever 81
nearly ready for the opening this fal
in advance. In the presence Of this
great throng which surrounds me,
want to place the management OF thu
exposition ON record as saying tina
not only Will the gates be of1ciall!
opened on April 80, 1904, but tina
everything will be In readiness To-
that event." s
Mr.. Francis made public recOgn1
ton of the valuable service rendere'
the exposition management by thu
commercial travellers. Their organi
cation was one of the first to take con
certed action and as result Of thei
work, the sum of $107 900 was raises
shortly. President Francis said tina
the influence Of the commercial tra1
elers had ever been exerted In be
half of the, exposition, and that tn
men who were in close touch with tn
merchants of this country, and VIII
pushed commerce far beyond Amer
cas- confines, had much to do with tn
success that crowned the work Of tn
exposition promoters. 2Eg

zation, showing how in q few years
the association had grown until now
there was an organization in nearly
every state in the union, and the
membership was numbered by the
tens Of thousands. Mr. Donham con-
graduated the T. p A. building COM
mite on their work in erecting for
the first time ON any exposition
grounds so handsome structure. He
congratulated President Francis and
the exposition management In doing
so grand a work that no matter how
extravagant an opinion one might
form, when he views the grounds and
buildings, he is overcome with the
immensely of the undertaking and the
beauty of the accomplishment.
At a given signal, while the band
played America" Miss Susan Carl
eton unfurled the flag over the build
ing.
The ceremonies attending the break
ing of the ground for the erection Of
the Texas building, were equally as
impressive, but less elaborate. Ad-
dresses were made by Benjamin Ham
NETT, of San Antonio, and Louis j.
Workman, of Austin, Worlds Fair
commissioners from the Lone Star
state.
