POLICE ARREST AGENT
OF A FAKE CONCERN
w. f. Jurgens, Representing the &c.
S. Ward House Furnishing Com
pany," Is Behind the Bars.

w. F. Jurgens, the agent of the &c.
S. Ward House Furnishing Company"
a fake concern, was taken into
custody by Detective Charles Cody
last night and locked up at the Cen
trail Police Station. 1t was the scheme
of the alleged company to get vic
Tins in cities all over the coast. AL
ready the promoters had feeced
Sacramento people out of a couple of
hundred dollars.
Within the last month $500 circu-
lars were distributed in Sacramento
and a great number of these brought
results. The company announced that
friend of the lady to whom the cir
cular was addressed had won a prize
In its guessing contest and that this
friend wished to tender the prize to
her. 1t requested that 80 cents be
forwarded for the purpose of paying
postage. In this way the concern
made its profits. Jurgens admits that
but few premiums were ever sent and
that the concern was not legitimate.
He says he was employed by a man
named George H. Marshall and that
ne had no other interest in it than
that of an employee. Marshall he
says, left for st. Louis last Friday.
Captain Burnett is inclined to dis
credit Jurgens' story and thinks that
Marshall is only a myth.

La Influenza de los judiOS

a mucha gente sin trabajo, con
grave riesgo de calamidades econo
micas y hasta polfticas, Sc acerco a
varios banqueros judios del Imperio
ruso, quienes Sc negaron a proporcio-
narIe socorro Ell tanto no hiciese cier-
tas concesiones a La poblacion judfa.
En- consecuencia ell minIstro envi6
una circular decreta 4 los gobernado
res de provincial, mandandoles ser
mas tolerantes para con los judios en-
10 successive, y no molestarles aunque Sc
extraslimitasen a residir fuera de los
lugares que les estan asignados por la
Ley, y la vez Sc han acordado otras
reformas.
Cuando ell ministro hubo accedido
10 que Sc pedia, los banqueros a
quienes consulto hablaron con la casa
de Rothschild que Sc negoa a tomar min
gun emprestito. Entonces hicieron di-
lgencias con banqueros judfos de Ber-
lin, quienes accedieron, aunque exi-
giendo mas concesiones, no solo en- ia
vor de los judfos, sino de los filande-
ses.
(Estas noticias y otras en- detrimen-
