Five N-n Arrested In Chicago Said TO Have
Operated From Here.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA remarkable story
of an alleged swindle which, the police
saw. extended TO many cit les in America

+. johnson and Alvin A. Hessley. The
prisoners were aTraigned and the cases

How much money has been lost to in
vest ors only can be guessed at, but the list
OF victims is said to include a number Of
Chicago business houses and individuals,
at least one hank and large concerns in
other cities.
The five men arrested and a number Of
| c~onfederates are said to have used bogus
not es IN their operations in Chicago. To
carry on their scheme the men made use
Of a number Of corporations with high
sounding names ana supposed large issues
Of stock and bonds.
Two OF the concerns used by the men
in their transactions, the police say, were
known an a fireproofing company in New
York and a trust company in South Dakota.
The freproofnR company was said to be
capitalized at 8 1000 900 and the trust conf
pany at 500 ,OOO. Oflcee for each concern
were at 1888 Broadway, New York. From
there II il charged that circulars and pam
phlets were sent to investors in all parts
Of the country.
None OF the men is known at 1888 Broad
! wav. In the st. James Building at 1888
Broadway, however, there Is a sign on
the door Of room Sl4 that runs: The
Maguire-J ohnston Co., Investment Securi-
ties, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. '
The superintendent of he st James Build
ing said last night that he had often seen
! Johnston and Mcguire around the building

in oil stocks Inc the stocks Of companies
they had promoted. Broughton, Cunning

SPLENDID BAND

On the first OF November. 1902, the
Lewiston band was organized under
the leadership of Professor Austin.
Three years and six months have pass
ed and now Lewiston has one of the
best musical organizations in the
northwest.
Very few towns Of even larger popu-
lation than Lewiston can boast of such
band. Professor Austin stayed from
the time the band was organized until
October 1. 1903. when ]. B. Pollard
took charge. Mr.. Pollard was leader
until July l, 1905, when j. r. Scott, the
present leader took charge.
During Mr. Austins stay here most
OF his time was taken up in getting
musicians. When Mr.. Pollard took
charge he did nothing else but work
with and for the band. and the organi-
zation is now recognized as one of the
leading bands Of the northwest.
Mr.. Pollard resigned on account of
business interests. but still plays in
the band. The present leader, Mr..
Scott. was formerly leader of the Iowa
State Band, and came to the city
highly recommended. 1t can be said
that the people are not disappointed.
In an interview with H. B. Smith,
manager of the band, he stated that it
was the desire of the band to please
the public, but that it is almost i'm
possible at present to get all Of the
members out on Saturday night, as a
great many of them are busy then.

Redskrn Infants Are Enrolled for Land
Distribution.

Muskogee, I. THE schedules of
babies enrolled for allotment in the
Cherokee nation are being returned to
the Dawes commission here. AS fast
as these schedules of the rolls are re-
turned approved, allotments are made
to the Indian babies.
The Choctaws and Chickasaws and
the Creeks were the first to get on the
schedules sent to Washington for ap-
proval. These schedules have been
coming back in blocks Of 800 to 500
names for some time. The first Cher
okee schedule has just arrived. The
Cherokee roll will be the largest of
any OF the baby rolls in the five ma
tions. There will be at least 5000
names approved on this roll, and pos
sibly moro.
AS soon as the schedule of approved
names is received from the secretary
of the interior at the commission, the
parents or guardians OF the children
whose names appear on the approved
schedule are notified and requested to
come in at once and file on the land
they want. The filings will be made
as fast as the schedules are returned,
provided the applicants come in and
select their land. This alloting to ba-
bies is going on in all Of the nations
now. and is one of the most important
pieces of work that the commission
has on hand.

Seventeen years ago the French gov.
crnment tried some expensive expert
ments in the establishment of sub
marine telephone between Marseilles

f;-ilure.
DR.. D'Unger believes he has solved
the difficulty by means of dual cur
rent. The 5000 miles of cable is di-
vided into distances of 800 miles. sep
arated by induction coils. The first
current flows through electric cover
ings surrounding iron cones. mag
netizing the cones. The second cur
rent impelled by the human voice
passes through these cones. which are
automatically transformed into, electro
magnets. The result Is succession
OF complete 300-mile currents by which
the sound waves may be carried unim-
paired in force any distance.
Experiments have been carried out
by DR.. D'Unger with q model of his
apparatus. sending the current through

experiments have proved a complete
