Get-Rich-Quick Concerns Close
Their Doors, Leaving Gus
toners Holding Sack
BIG DIVIDENDS WERE OFFERED
Three Concerns Follow in the Wake Of
the Storey Cotton Company Which
Found So Many Dupes All Over the
Country - Others are Under Sur
veiIIance.

Philadelphia, Pa, March %. - Three
get rich quick" concerns affiliated
with the Storey Cotton Company and
the Provident Investment bureau clos
ed their doors yesterday. BY this
millions are added to the total of loss-
es sustained by the public in this en-
ormous bubble.
Those that went up yesterday were
Leslie, Norris & Co., f. Norton Phil
lips, and Crimson, Scott & Co. None
Of the officers of these concerns could
be found last night to state whether or
not the closing was to be permanent.
All offered dividends of 4S per cent
a month for money invested with
them. The way the profits were made,
according to literature issued, was
thru dealings In futures on the mar
ket. The customers extend over the
same territory as the Storey Cotton
Company and the Provident Invest
lnent bureau, and each concern ex-
| changed a list of dupes with the 9TH
ers. Thousands of persons are involv-
ed in the new crash.
Five other establishments Of the
same syndicate have been placed UNI
der surveillance by the local postoffice
inspectors. All are located in this
city, conduct all their business thru
the mails offer fabulous profits and
have an immense patronage thruout
the country.
So firmly is the postoffice depart
mo ~, III, ~,
headquarters of an endless chain of
such schemes that w. w. Stone, the
postal inspector who has made all Of
President Roosevelt's special investiga-
tons, and Inspector Myer, who uncov-
cred the scandal in the postal depart
ment a year ago, have been sent to
this city to work on the case. Unlim-
tied resources have been placed at the
disposal of the authorities in this city
for running down the gang. The men
back of the new concerns under sus-
picion are said to be scampering for
shelter.
The postal authorities yesterday
declared that when Stanley Francis,
the millionaire promoter, secures $780,
600 bonds in the Storey Cotton case
he will be rearrested and charged with
completely in the Provident get rich-
quick scheme
Before the activity of the postal in
spectors ceases tbs declared nearly a
score of arrests will be made.
Attorney e. j. Pershing, who is aiding
the postal authorities, said there was
no telling to what proportions the cases
would grow and declared:
Every day additional letters from
customers of the Provident Investment
bureau are pouring in upon us, More
than $50 letters inclosing money have
been received while there have been
nearly 500 clamoring for the cash they
invested"

Mondays Advance of 10 to Is
Cents Was Well Maintained,
Owing to Small Receipts
HOGS WERE LOWER TODAY
There Was a Good Supply on Hand
and Local and Shipping Demand
Was Much Smaller, Prices Dropping
About cents-sheep in Fairly Ac-
tive Demand-Priees Unchanged.

Chicago, March 2S.-Continued mod
crate receipts of cattle are causing
great firmness of prices, and Mon
days advance of 10@15 was we'll
maintained this morning.
The quality of the supply has i'm
proved over week ago, and the gen.
eral class of offerings would be called
quite good for this season of the year.
However, strictly choice heavy steers
are yet comparatively scarce and the
small supply of such was disappoint-
ment to buyers. Export and shipping
demand is quite broad and this good
outlet, together with fairly free buying,
by packers, has impaired reasonably
good life to the general market.
Hogs.
There was a good supply for Tues
day, but local and shipping demand
was much smaller than yesterday.
Lack of outside competition tended to
weaken prices. Values were fully S
lower with the greater part of sales at
$5.30@5.40.
The large Monday run is regarded as
proof that country roads are not in
the miry shape generally reported. Had
that been the case not as many hogs
would have shown up. Many shippers
reported that feed lots were dry. With
the drying up of the country roads
larger receipts than have been the rule
thru tho bad roads season may nat
,urally be expected.
Sheep.
There was fairly active general
demand at about yesterdays range of
prices.

jefferson School District is Wrestling
With a Queer Problem.

Jefferson, March 2S.-The Jefferson
school district is wrestling with the
problem of having two school Treasure
ers. B. S. McCully was elected last
year and left not long ago to assume a
position in bank at Princeton. He did
not resign the office but the funds
were handled by the bank under his
name. When the old school board met
Saturday evening to turn over the af-
fairs to the new board, they first ac-
cepted resignation from McCully and
them proceeded to elect successor in
the person of Il. B. Wilson. When the
new board was sworn in they declared
p. II. Carter elected, and gave him a
certificate of election, and accepted his.
bond of 100000 for same. How the
matter viii turn out is not known yet,
but there seems to be promise of a
court action somewhere along the line
