More Grafters Discovered

B. S. T. Hoyt of Pittsburg has EN-.
ployed Attorney Russell B. Harrison Of
Indianapolis to lay before President
Roosevelt facts calling for an investi-
cation of the postal departments lack
of action against the get-rich-quick
scheme. Hoyt complained to the de-
partment against the swindle last July
and claims his complaint was ignored.
Others have made similar charges.
1t is said that the Storey Cotton
company, the Provident Investment
company, Frank G. Marvin, alias Judge
Franklin Stone, former Brooklyn law
yer and later society swell in Philadel-
phia, and Stanley Francis are impli-
Gated in scandal to use the mails to
defraud and to ruin financially other
business concerns.
Stanley Francis, the chief swindler,
has been arrested in Philadelphia by
postal inspector and held in 100000
bail by United States Commissioner
Craig. Marvin is on his way to
Europe.
1t seems that the nation is honey
combed with graft, scandals, frauds
and corruption of every kind. AS these
companies are guilty Of defrauding
the government and that Hoyt COM
planned to the postal department re-
gardlng the existence of such l a
scheme, there is practically no chance
whatever for the postal department
to make logical reply to Mr.. Hoyt.
1t looks as if the postal department is
permitting theseenefarious schemes to
exist when it ignored Hoyt's COM
plant.

legislature was an appropriation to
pay for the troops supporting Pea
body's military despotism. There was
never particle of doubt among them
that it would be done without any
trouble. The corporations put up the
money to pay the troops and the legis.
lature was expected to tax it out OF
the people. A bill was introduced to
issue 100000 of bonds to raise the
money, but the boodlers got into a
quarrel among themselves the last day
of the session which came near being
a riot and the legislature adjourned in
an uproar such as was never seen be-
fore, without passing the bill. The
corporations are left with their thumbs
in their mouths. But they are going
to get their money all the same. New
freight rates have been put in. One
of them is described by the victim as
follows:
The freight on the carload of ma
chinery for the Wool River Zinc COM
rany that arrived from Denver yester-
day is $773.S2. The freight weighs S.
200 pounds.
"The distance from Denver to HALEY
being ut miles, the charge ON this car
load Of mining machinery exceeds that
upon private passenger cars, which is
81 mile, or $717 from Denver to
HALEY.
The railway agent at HALEY says
that the rate on mining machinery
from Denver-717 miles-is $1.27 per
100 pounds in car lots. This is upon
such indestructible freight as steel
rails, for instance, of which there were
six tons in the ear referred to. Upon
other machinery that was in the same
car the rates run up to So on 100
pounds.
The rate upon mining machinery
from New York to Hailey-2,215 miles
lis $1.94 IL per 100 pounds. From
Chicag-1, 344 miles-it is $1.72.
The people of Colorado have found
out, as they will sooner or later find
out everywhere, that as long as the
ownership of railroads are in private
hands, the people will have to pay
what the roads demand.
