 New York. Jan. 1S-Gen. James obeirne. for years more or less promi- | nent in Republican politics in this city. | and who has held a number of offices l under the United States Government, is given as President in the literature of the Force of Life Chemical Company. the medical director of which, Dr. Wal
 lace Hadley, and assistant medical di-
 rector, Mrs. Laura M. Wilson, were yes- terday arrested by feoerar authorities and held in $2,500 bail each for exami- nation a week from to-day General Obeir1ne has been special agent of the Treasury Department, Assistant Commissioner of Immigration in the port of New York, and a Commissioner of Charities in this city.
 The prisoners are charged with con- spiracy to obtain money under false pretenses by the use of the United States mail. The Force of Life Chem
 ical Company for the last three or four years has maintained elaborate offices in this city. At present the company is located at 2255 Broadway. It has done an extensive mail bus mess. A member of the company told
 the postal authorities that the con cern had no less than 100000 patients Attorney John Vauss said last night that In9 HOECG OI ilie 1oUiPdhy doing a perfectly legitimate business and that the two prisoners were only salaried employees of the concern who did what they were told and had noth- ing whatever to do with its manage ment.
 Tn the glare of the midnight light" one of the advertisements of the com pany reads, bending over the cruci-
 ble and retorts. pr. w. Wallace Had ley cried triumphantly: have It.
 At last he had succeeded In making a rare chemical preparation of concentra- ted extracts which might be truly called Liquid Life There it was, glimmering in it's sheen or ruby red while the re- tort itself seemed to quiver and vi- brate as if in the effort of restraining the tremendous dynamic force 1t held
 There was leicithin, the force of life, the power that makes man live
 and think. Without this subtle essence in your system death would occur be- fore you could read three of these
 lines. With it in sufficient quantities you can combat any disease. To dis
 cover and make the vital principle of life has been the dream of the chemist and the goal of the medical profession
 of all ages"
 Raising the Dead.
 The power to raise the dead claimed.
 it is alleged by pr. Hadley, first chal-
 lenged the attention of the authorities
 a little less than year ago when
 Postmaster General Cortelyou received
 personal letter from President
 Roosevelt. enclosing one of the Force
 of Life company's circulars which had
 been sent to the President by woman
 In Springfield, Mo. MT. Cortelyou at
 once communicated with Postmaster
 Wilcox in this city, who detailed in-
 spectors to investigate the methods of
 the concern.
 In the letter from the Springfield
 woman to President Roosevelt there
 was enclosed one of the stock letters
 from the Force of Life concern. It
 started of as follows:
 By this mysterious control over diseases and death, pr. Wallace Had lay. the eminent thaumaturgic pano- pathist of this city. has made the hu- man heart beat again in the body of a woman rescued from the grave. AS a result of his successful experiment he makes the startling statement that no disease should cause death He claims to have discovered the vital principal of life itself, the dynamic force that creates and maintains exis- tence. He seems to have absolute control over human life and the dis eases that attack it.'
 Evidence upon which the complaints were based was secured through cor respondence of fictitious patients. One of these, Lucille Hoffman," wrote that she was a young girl of twenty two and followed this up with some information of an intimate nature. Several letters that followed were printed circulars containing staple ad- vice, received also, 1t is alleged, by number of other fictitious patients who had written. giving other ail- ments.
 Complaining that she had not im- proved Lucille Hoffman" was asked to send a sample of her blood for an- alysis. The correspondent obtained some blood from a horse, which he put into a bottle and forwarded. A couple of days later he got letter which de- clared that the analysis pointed to physical condition which the recipient said made him sorry for the horse.
