NOTED SWINDLER
Is SUSPECTED
Arrest of the National City Bank
Forger Imminent.
MANY RUM0RS ARE AFL0AT
THREE PERSONS BELIEVED TO
BE IMPLICATED.

New York, Sept. 50.-While no def
mite statement has been made by the
detectives in the case, it is believed in
certain quarters that the arrest is i'm
minent of the man behind the plot by
which 1858, $50 worth of securities was
stolen from the National City bank on
Wednesday by the presentation of a
forged check for the amount of the
loan for which the securities stood as
collateral. Numerous reports. all lack
Ing confirmation, were circulated last
night One was to the effect that an
attempt was being made by the forgers
to negotiate for the return of their
plumber. II is believed by the detec-
tiVes that back of the whole plot will
be found a man who has an inteTna-
tlonal reputation as get-rich-uuick
sWindler, and whose record in Wall
street is as well known as the alphabet.
Felony Compounded.
This man was behind a somewhat
similar transaction some years ago. In
that case the securities were taken
from a messenger, who asserted that
they had been stolen from him. The
bank was successful in keeping the
thing absolutely quiet and pretty soon
an offer was made for the return of the
securities. This offer the bank accept
ed and the case was closed.
In the present case. although the Ma
tional City bank officials and members
of the brokerage house are earnest in
their assertions of belief i'm the inno-
cence Of their respective employees. yet
the detectives are satisfied there was
collision with at least three persons in
the plot.
Suspect Clever SwindIer.
This collision was between some per-
son whom indications place within the
bank, an outsider" who could be any
one of several hundred messenger boys
in the district. and a third person-the
master mind-to devise the plot and to
work it out with an ella bOration of de-
tail Unprecedented in criminal attempts
in Wall street This third person is
Identical, according TO the theorists.
with the sWindler previously mentioned.
For years he has been in the Wall
street district, and every year has seen
his name involved in some swindie,
either by means of a spurious corpora
ton or by a bucket shop concern or dis
cretionary pool syndicates. He has
been indicted a half hundred times, and
has been twice convicted. A boast said

Maxim Gorky's RebuiSe.

Anecdotes of Maxim Gorky the Rus
sian author are on the wing, says the
London Chronicle. Here Is one they
tell In Paris: He went to the theater
ut Moscow one evening to see q play
by popular writer Instead OF paying
attention to the stage the entire audi
ence rose and greeted Gorky with pro
digious acclamatlon. Then he delivered
this address: What on earth are you
staring at me for? / am not dancing
girl nor the Venus of Milo nor a
drunkard just picked out of the river.
l write stories They have the luck to
please you, and l am glad of it, but
that Is no reason why you should keep
on staring. We have come here to see
charming play. Be good enough to
attend to that and leave me alone"
More delighted than ever, the audience
shouted with Joy. Perhaps they thought
they would get another speech, but
Gorky jumped out OF his seat and left
the theater in disgust.

POSTAL AFFAIRS BEING pRoBEp.
President Orders Rigid investigation
of Masten Contracts.


Washington, March l0.-Under spe-
cific orders from President Roosevelt
q rigid investigation of contracts for
twine and the Bundy time clock which
the postoffice department purchased
under the administration of j. M.
Masten as chief clerk to the first as
sistant postmaster general is being
conducted at the present time.
These contracts, though touched on
incidentally in the report of former
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, are declared to be lacking In
detail, hence the special investigation
at this time.
During the general investigation Mr.
Masten was transferred from his for
mer position to that of assistant SUI
perintendent of the railway mail serv-
ice, although his dismissal was recon-
mended by First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne.

1t takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of
the blood or anemia, is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good OK
ygen in their lungs consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has wide repu-
tation, such as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than

SEARCHING FOR A MOTIVE.
Police Continue investigation of Stan.
ford Poisoning.

San Francisco, March 10.-Though
they still deem the proof of murder
inconclusiye the police of this city are
trying to find possible motive for the
poisoning of Mrs. Stanford. With this
end In view they are making a minute
investigation into the stories told by
Beverly, the former butler, and Eliza
beth Richmond, the former maid of
Mrs. Stanford, who now lives In Bey-
erly's home at San Mateo.
II Is believed that among the stories
OF quarrels and graft hint OF the
motive for murder may be found
Albert Beverly, the former butler,
has, 1t is said, made statement to
the police that in all, by means OF
rakedowns and commissions, he had
grated about $2,l00. He reiterates
his story that he divided his rake
down with Miss Berner, Mrs. Stan
ford's secretary, and that her share
amounted to between $1,000 and 81, 100.

TESTIMONY is CONCLUDED
ATTORNEYS OF MRS. CHADWIck'S
MOVE TO DIRECT VERDICT
FOR DEFENDANT.

Cleveland, March 10.-The defense
In the trial of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick rested its case at 10: AS O. m. and
the state announced 1t would not offer
any testimony in rebuttal.
The only witness for the defense
was H. c. Doolittle, bookkeeping ex-
pert. He testified that the entries of
$4,000 and $4,000 on the books of the
Oberlin bank, under date of Nov. g.,
1909, were items of credit to Mrs.
Chadwick.
Similar entries on the discount reg
lister showed that the two items were
regarded by the bank as being to the
credit of Mrs. Chadwick. Nov. 16,
1903. the journal showed the entry of a
note of $4,000. This did not appear
on the discount register, but the jour.
nal entry showed, according to the wit
ness, that Mrs. Chadwick was entitled
on that day to $4,000 either in cash
or credit Other entries on that date
showed that an item of $4,000 was
deposited though 1t was not specified
by whom. Ii the cash or certified
check was given Mrs. Chadwick on
that day the entries were entire and
covered the transactions in a proper
manner.
contradicts Previous Testimony.
This evidence was directly opposed
to the direct testimony of Assistant
Cashier Avery and Receiver Lyon of
the Oberlin bank, who said that Mrs.
Chadwick had neither money nor
credit at the bank at the time any OF
the certified checks were issued.
Ii was announced to Judge Tayler
by the attorneys for Mrs. Chadwick
that they desired To enter a motion
directing verdict for the defendant.
Pending the argument on this the jury
was dismissed
Judge Wing asked that the case be
taken from the jury and a verdict ac-
quitting the defendant be ordered by
the court on the ground that the in
dictment did not charge an offense
she had committed an offense against
the United States.
The arguments by Judge Wing in
support Of his motion and that OF Dis.
trict Attorney Sullivan in opposition
lasted throughout the remainder of the
morning session of court.
Arguments on the motion of the de-
Tense TO take the case from the jury
consumed the entire afternoon.
