Jaws SUIT TOT HeHoNd' VI ihSPSSNN'
Toledo, O., Oct. 10.-George j.
Gould arrived in Toledo ready for the
annual meeting of the Wabash rail-
road, which Is to be held today. Jo'
seph Ramsey, Jr., eX-president or the
road, the former friend and present
antagonist Of Mr.. Gould, is also on the
ground prepared to fight for the con.
troll of the Wabash system. other
directors of the road are here, and al!
of them seem friendly to Mr.. Gould
and disposed to uphold his interests.
Mr., Ramsey, save for his legal advis'
ers, seems to stand practically alone.
Mr.. Gould himself declined to dis
cuss the probable outcome OF the
meeting, but his friends confidently
predict that he will not only retain
control of the Wabash system by an
| overwhelming majority OF votes, but
that when the smoke of battle has
, cleared away it will be found that not
only has Mr.. Ramsey failed to gain
control of the system, but that he mas
beer removed from it entirely and
that his name does not even appear In
( the new board of directors.
Mr.. Ramsey, like Mr.. Gould, de-
clines to make predictions. He is
however, to all Appearances, cheerful
and confident to a degree. Neither
side will give figures as to the tota
number of proxies controlled, but thu
Gould party declared that the decision
of Judge Taylor in st. Louis, which
gave to Mr.. Gould practically 10000
votes, meant nothing to him, so far a.
ability to control the meeting is con
cerned. No matter how that case wa
decided, they claim, Mr.. Gould ha
so large an excess Of votes that h
could not only have lost the 100000
but could ever have transferred then
to Mr.. Ramsey without altering tn
result.
AT a. conference held between M
Ramsey and his attorney, Judge Doyle
IL was decided in view Of the decisio
of Judge Taylor in st. Louis, whic
released for use against Mr.. Ramse

Middletown, N. Y, Oct. 9.-An at
tempts of the county and local police
officials to clear up the mystery of the
murder of Willis and Fred Olney and
little Alice Ingerick at the Olney farm,
near here, and the murderous assault
on Mrs. lingerie, on Friday night, have
SO far been fruitless. 1t was believed
that some clue to the murder had been
found when Alanson Graham, an old
man living near the Olney place, was
arrested on information furnished by
Mrs. Ingerick, the only member or
the Olney household who escaped
death, but who was found terribly in
jured and unconscious in the barn.
After being closely examined Graham
~conclusively proved his innocence

STRIKE IN OMAHA SCHOOL
Pupils Refuse to Return Unless Sons
of Oriental Laborers Are
Forced to Stay Away.

Omaha, Neb.. April 1S.-Hatred for
two Japanese schoolbOys in a South
Omaha school yesterday led TO strike
of 500 children. who refused to enter
the school building as long as the Jap
anese were permitted to remain. The
boys and girls paraded the streets with
banners in sympathy with the spirit of
the revolt.
The trouble dates back to the big
packing house strike last summer,
when Jap strike-breakers were employ
ed and 300 remained. Their holding
the places of strikers has earned for
the Japanese the bitter hatred of the
other employees.

HE COT MILLIONS
William p. Owen, Former Con-
gresham in Indiana, Worked
Big SwindIe
IN MEXICAN LAND COMPANIES
He and Others Are Now in Europe
Federal Judge Treasurer Of
Concerns.

Washington, d. c., April 1S.-Wil-
liam p Owen, former member of con-
gress from Indiana, former secretary
of state for Indiana, once a minister OF
the gospel. organizer and promoter of
the Ubero Plantation company of Indi-
ana, the Mexican Coffee & Rubber
company of Indiana, the Ubero Planta-
ton company of Boston, and the Con-
solidated Ubero Plantation company,
also of Boston, has gone to Europe, and
thousands of investors in the stocks
and bonds of the companies are hold
ing the sack. The sack is empty, and
the trusting public is out anywhere
from $1,OOO.OOO to $3,OOO,OOO. These
facts are set forth in memorandum of
the attorney general for the postoffice
department, accompanying a fraud or
der just issued against the two Boston
concerns.
Judge is Treasurer.
1t is also stated that Arthur w. Sted-
man and Frederick G. Hood, two men
prominent in Boston business and So
cial circles, the former president and
the latter vice president of the Con-
solidated Ubero company, are likewise
absent in Europe. Judge L. II. Wiley,
of Indiana, at present judge of the In
diana appellate court, is named as
treasurer of this company.
The investigation conducted by the
department disclosed one of the most
gigantic and baldest frauds that has
been perpetrated in recent years.
Owen is said to have been the prime
mover in the entire swindle and pre-
sumably the chief beneficiary. Fred
erick E. Borges, another Indianian, was
Owens partner in the deals. Borges,
it was reported to the department, has
a record for serving a term in the pen
itentiaries at Joliet and Pittsburg
There is little prospect of any salts
faction for the investors, as it is stated
at the Office of the attorney general for
the postoff1ce department that Owen
and Borges undoubtedly acted on ex-
cellent legal advice in framing their
schemes, and it is a question whether
they can be reached through civil or
criminal action.
Owen embarked in his Mexican plan
tation scheme shortly after retiring
from the Office of secretary of state of
Indiana in 1898
