SMITH CHARGES FRAUD
IN TRANSFER OF BETHLEHEM
STEEL COMPANY.
He Arraigns c. M. Schwab and His
Associates in the q. s. Ship
building Company.

A special to the New York Times from
Newark, N. j., says: James Smith.
tr., as receiver of the United States
Shipbuilding Company and the Samuel l..
Moore & Sons Company. filed answer and
cross!bill today to the suit instituted by
the Mercantile Trust Company of New
York for the foreclosure of a mortgage of
$16,O00OOO on the property of that concern.
The receiver challenges the validity of tho
proceedings of the original directors of the
United States Shipbuilding Company and
insists that the issues of $1O.000,OO0 prefer
red stock and Sl0OO0.OOO of common stock
were fraudulent and void, and that the
mortgage and deed Of trust were executed
by fraudulent conspiracy. in which 1t is
charged that Charles NJ. Schwab, his asso-
ciates and the trust company were mutual
ly engaged.
Mr.. Smith petitions that Mr.. Schwab and
all of his associates in the alleged wreck
ing scheme and the Mercantile Trust Com
pany be required to appear before Judge
Andrew Kirkpatrick of the United States
circuit court to testify and give answer
to such matters as may be pertinent TO tne
issues set forth.
In rehearsing the purchase of the Bethie-
hem Steel Company by Charles M. SchWab
for 100000 cash, on his assumption of
liabilities as to mortgages upon that prop
erty making the total maximum price OF
the plant ST 10000, the receiver says:
I'm or about June, 1902, the said Charles
NJ Schwab and his associates conceived
the fraudulent scheme of transferring to
the Shipbuilding Company the stock of the
Bethlehem Company at an excessive and
fraudulent consideration, and upon such
conditions as would enable them not only to
control the said Shipbuilding Company. but
also to absorb for their own benefit all of
its property and assets. to the injury of its
creditors and of Its bona fide bOndholders
and stockholders and thereupOn, for the
purpose of accomplishing such intent and
purpose, the said Charles M. Schwab and
his associates falsely aad fraudulently rep
resented to the defendant Shipbuiiding
Company that the said shares of stock were
worth the sum of aO,000OO0; that the said
steel company had during the fiscal year
ended July 81, 1909. made a. net profit
amounting to 81. Al, SO3; that It's
said surplus assets. July 81, 1892. amounted
to the sum OF 81. 001 018 46; whereas, In fact,
the said representations were false
and untrue, and were so known to be by
the said Charles NJ. Schwab and his asso-
ciates, said stock being worth not to ex-
coed the sum Of =, 500, COO the net earnings
of the said corporation during the twelve
months ended July 81, 1902 not exceeding
the sum of 8, 600. 600. and the surplus as

KID CURRY REPORTED KILLED

Word comes from Colorado that Of
ficials have secured identiticatiOns of
two pictures supposed to be photo
graphs of the nOtOriOoe., Montana out
law, Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry.
On the morning Of July Sth, a gang
held up a Denver and Rio Grande
train near Parachute, Colo, but after
blowing two safes and shooting one
railroad employee, they secured only
$40. A posse of cowboys was organ
lied and in the chase one of the ban
dts was shot from his horse by cow
boy and as soon as he fell was seen to
shoot himself through the head. Pic
lures were taken of the dead man,
and they were positively identified at
those of Logan by the Knoxville Jail
officials with whom Logan had been
confined for nearly year. The out
landing reward for the bandit is es-
timated in the neighborhood of $22,-
600. AS Logan had many bullet
marks on his body, the remains will
probably be exhumed and further
identification established.

Ancient VentriloGuisnl.

Ventriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. 1t was used by many per-
sons for purposes of deception. The
wizards who employed it declared that
their familiar spirit resided in the
abdomen, whence the voice was sup
posed to proceed. The Old Testament
Scriptures abound with denunciations
both OF persons who had these IA
miliar spirits and of those who went
to seek their advice and assistance.
They were treated as though they were
in familiar intercourse with the evil
one and according to Jewish law re-
ceived no mercy. Instances, however,
are very frequent in much later his
tory Of deception being successfully
practiced by persons having this pecui-
lar gift.
