Brought Into Public Light by Santo
Domingo Controversy-Da Fee
male Diplomat Sought to Man
age Finances of Country.

New York.-Fifteen years ago a
typewriter girl, and to-day perhaps the
most daring woman promoter Of inter
national ventures in the world, Mrs
Ella Rawls Reader has been brought
into public light in remarkable way
through the Santo Domingo contro.
yersy in the senate, having figured in
Senator Morgan's speech just before
the close of the extra session, as his
informant in regard to a plot to draw
the United States into the affairs of
Eanto Domingo.
Senator Morgan declares that Will
liam Nelson Cromwell, the New York
lawyer, who made 100000 out of the
Panama canal treaty, was the principal
mover in the effort, and that he was
actuated by a desire to Illustrate the
plans of the Reader syndicate, which
had obtained valuable concessions from
the Dominican government In return
for their services as agents of the gov
ernment in this country. Senator Nor
gan intimates that Mr.. Cromwell de-
sired to promote the interests of a
syndicate Cromwell represented, and
that he had taken this course notwith-
standing the fact that he was orig
ipally the personal counsel of the Read
sTs.
Mrs. Reader and her husband, Athole
b. Reader, formerly of New Zealand,
Morocco and Ceylon. and now a citi-
Een-to-be of the United States, recent
~ gave out statements regarding their
dealings with President Morales con-
corning a treaty with this government
and their relations with William Mel
son Cromwell, who, they say, has been
their attorney.
Mrs Reader is woman with a very
interesting history. She Is said to ne
30 years Old but she looks younger.
Her complexion is a wonder; her fig

Ala, of family closely acquainted
with Senator Morgan and other states
men.
Thirteen years ago she came to New
York to make living as a stenog-
rapher. Within three years she was
the head and sole manager of the
largest typewrlting establishment in
New York, with 40 girls working for
her. Her offices at 80 Wall street
were besieged by men who had impor-
tant work to be done accurately. From
an expert operator she became a SUI
perihteudent of operators. In 1896, &C
coTding to her story, she was sought
by Senator Scott and Congressman Joe
Manley, then bossing the Mckinley
campaign, to take charge of certain
private correspondence.
She went to London in 1899 and be-
came connected with the firm of J. G.
White & Co. She had not wasted
her time in Wall street. The sultan
Of lahore came to London. he had up
his sleeve the contract for the building
of the lahore railroad, costing $1,000
900. Miss Rawles met the sultan So
cially j. G. White & Co. got the rail-
road contract.
The tuppenny tube had been built
in London, but was troubled with vi
bration. There was a call for some
body who could cure this evil. Miss
Rawls was associated with the
Eprague Multiple control company
She took a look at the vibrations, and,

Miss Rawls was still in the employ
of ]. G. White q Co., when, in 1901, she
met and was won by Mr. Reader. His
career had been quite as interesting
as her own. He was born in New Zea-
land, British subject He is a rath-
er short very dark man, with black
eyes and mustache. He could pass
as a South American any time He
was private secretary TO Sir Charles
Evan Smith the British minister to
Morocco, in 1892. In 1897 he became
private secretary to Sir West Ridge
way, governor of Ceylon. Various cir
cumstances caused him to become ia.
miliar with affairs in Peru, and while
he was still interested he met Miss
Rawls in London and married her
Together they have worked since then
and together they now stand. Mr.
Reader has the deep mind, Mrs. Read
er the quick wit. Recently they worked
out a great scheme of mining improve
saent In Peru and interested the west
ern copper millionaire, James B. Hag
gin. According 10 Mr.. Reader, he and
his wife were to have ten per cent
commission for promoting this
scheme. and, according 10 the same
story, the plans went through beauti
fully, except that the ten per cent
was not paid. A suit is now pending
against Mr. Higgins to recover tn,
money.

this smart man has had to pay sew
