More Talk About schwab.

They have gone to talking about Char lie" Schwab again. His retirement from the finance committee of the oteel trust is made the excuse for further free use of his name and all sorts of talk is in- dulged in as to his financial status. To satisfy curiosity on this point 1t may be stated that MT. Schwab is still very rich man. Persons close to him affirm that he is Tn reality stronger Tn actual resources than ever before. This state ment may be taken with a measure of allowance but 1t is well known by irti- n nates that he made immense profits by selling in a wholesale way against his holdings of preferred and common shares of the United States Steel corporation. He never parted with his certificates and stands today the largest individual holder of both classes of Steel stock. He did protect himself, however, by sales against his holdings more than a year and hal1 ego, when quotations were very near the top. These short contracts are under- stood to have been covered on the sharp break last winter when low prices were made for these securities. The specnia-' tion, if it can be called such, reailzeo nm immense sums in cash, which were "seu in large part in paying off loans the na. ture of which he never discioseo' put which, in fact were part ana parcei U, his Wall street operations. lie heeoeu the money 10 margin his transac'ioNs 9ii the selling side and did not care 10 ,ahe the street into his confidence lie IS saiu to have displayed great cleverhess III coF- ering up his tracks.

Woodend Firm Bucket Shop.

The accusation is made that the Wood- end concern of this city, which went up the other day in a grand display of reu fire, was nothing but bucket shop. This charge has aroused the Consolidated ex- change of New York into a burst of in- vestigatipn as to the methods of several houses enjoying membership privileges in that body. There are hints that the in quiry will result in the expulsion of a number of members for illicit practices.
 Only the careless. inexperienced or in- different need suffer penalties for run ming bucket shops The machinery of the exchanges can be successfully em- ployed to cover up bucket shop transac- tons and it naturally is so used by many concerns masqueradng as reputable com mission houses. There are firms. some of them very rich. doing business on the New York stock exchange and Chicago board of trade, which have been under suspicion for many years. but against whom no conclusive proof of bucket shop ping could ever be brought. The reason is that they complied In every particular with the rules laid down for the perform anoe of legitimate transactions. Every order received was duly executed and could be followed from the beginning to the end.
 The bucket shopping was done by the execution of counter orders for account of dummies. or possibly to the account of some one whose connection with the firm could not be established A very success full representative of this species of bucket shopping said in a confidential moment that no investigation against him could ever be successful for the reason that "every transaction went clear through to the bank account" This par ticular individual is represented to have clesned up <. .900,c0O sn about twenty years and he Is not at all conspicuous in at tempts to obtain patronage.

half of per cent. The transaction netted $1.49 in interest for the use of $l0O,0OO for twenty-four hours The time of the clerks, messengers and bookkeepers handling the securities and conducting the deal from start to finish was computed to represent about $20. On the other hand it was ar gued that the clerical force had to be raid anyway and that the $l49 was clear profit, but at any rate the return on the money was mighty small. There have been instances before where money was loaned for one day at three-fourths of per cent. One per cent is a common rate when money is very plentiful and the market extremely dull. Many instances are narrated of thin margins of profit on gold shipments. Cases are known where z, ,00o, GOO in gold has been shipped to Flu rope upon which the principal has real ized not more than $100

After Western Union.

The local papers are making It uncom- fortable for some of the rich and respect able directors of the Western Union Tele- graph company by calling attention In double-ieaded editorials and display type to the fact that the company is aiding and abetting hundreds of pool rooms in New York in the collection and dissemi- nation of race track news. The same machinery is in effect In other cities, but New York being the largest theatre for gambling on races it is made the storm center of agitation. Estimates have been made that the Western Union derives $5, ,000 GOO annual revenue from it's racing department. Without the active assist ance of the Western Union pool rooms in large cities could not exist.
 The same might be said of bucket shops. For twenty years more the New York stock exchange and the Chicago board of trade, as well as the cotton exchanges of New York and New Orleans, have been trying in vain to secure the aid of the telegraph companies in their war against bucket shops. The telegraph companies homogeneous lave displayed amazing in genuity in deyising ways and means or not helping the exchanges. The conten- ton has been that the telegraph compa- nies are common carriers and are pow erless to discriminate between good and bad patrons In this the courts have, in the main, upheld the telegraph compa- nies, fact which has stirred the good people to expressions of profound indig- nation.
 The bucket shop element has sneeringly charged that the real motive behind the crusade against them is a desire on the part of the big fish to drive out or swal- low up the little fish, and that from a strictly moral standpoint 1t is just as wicked to gamble in the big commission houses as in the little shops where trades of ten shares of stock or 1000 bushels Of grain can be made. It is an old story and the merits and demerits of the controver- sy have been threshed out for gener- ation, but, apparently, the question is nc nearer settlement now than it was at the beginning. Some great fortunes have been made in the bucket shop business and other fortunes are being made, al- though men actively engaged therein say the margin of profits is smaller now than ever before.

LAWSON THREATENS THE ROGERS CROWD Is Causing Much Talk About
 Standard Oil MAY MAKE DISCLOSURES Threats of Boston Man Are Not Viewed With Great Alarm, How ever, and Are Believed to
 Be Bluff.
MAY MAKE DISCLOSURES
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, May 7.-"Tom' Lawson of Boston has the chance of his life to gain picturesque notoriety of an enduring sort All he has to do is to make good the threats he has been indulging in since his open break with H. H. Rogers and the Standard oil crowd Lawson, how ever, Is an uncertain quantity and there is no telling how far he will go in his crusade or when he will stop He pre- tends to know all about Standard oil play In Amalgamated Copper and other copper properties by which the public was mulcted out of about $100,000 900. If he knows as much as he professes and can supply proof there is a bare chance that the victimized public may, by proxy, force partial restitution of the amount.
 The crux of the plan Lawson advertises is that the various corporations owning copper properties were in no way bene- fited by the combination and deals engf- neered by MT. Rogers and his friends, and that the $1o0, ,000. GOO profits secured by the petroleum multi-millionaires repre- sents that much money taken bodily from the stockholders without compensation or equivalent. Fl. II. Rogers is represented to be very uneasy on account of the att titude taken by his former ally and con II. though that this uneasiness has yet taken the form of a return of the money made by him out of his copper deals There has been no public statement that his bank account has suffered or that he is taking any means to head off the vocifer- ous Thomas of Beanville.
 Wall street is disposed to make light of Lawson's pronunciamentos and is free with prophecy that nothing will come of 1t unless there be a certain mysterious reinforcement of the Lawson exchequer, of which the public will be none the wiser.
 Lawson as the self-elected guardian and defender of the pocketbook of the Amer ican 'd-n fool' is at this stage impress sive only as a novelty. He confesses hav- ing been largely instrumental in separat- ing the aforesaid ID. F." from $100 900, coo or whereabouts, and now, at this late day for him to attempt to recover the swag and turn it back savers too much of grand stand play for terrifying purposes to be taken seriously. Still, there is just a chance that MT. Lawson may be in earn est and that he has the endurance and the means to wage a long time fight against the Rogers outfit and wiring therefrom a portion of their ill-gotten gains. It would be well, however, for those who have lost money in copper speculation to wait unr1l they get the promised Lawson dividend before spend ing It.
