Ago and sorrow have bent the old
woman! Years of hard work have
scared her face and distorted her

Toiled to Educate Son.
| She told how, from the time of his

gathered wood and sold it in the streets
Of Moscow to provide Alexander Petsch-
that even musical geniuses cannot do

she had supported herself and her
eleven children as long as she was able.
Only when Alexander had won fame
and affluence did she appeal to him
for aid. ..
The appeal was in vain. But as she
told her story it was plain that Petsch-
nikoG s refusal to support her were not
her greatest sorrows. 49,.
Petschnikoff' sister, Mrs. Rose Zen

,"We wrote him last week that mother
would like to see him and that if he
was ashamed of her she would meet
him in the street somewhere and nobody

NEGROES TO BE LET OUT
Secretary Taft Withdraws Order De
laying Discharge of Soldiers.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The war de-
partment issued the following state
ment today concerning the negro troops
ordered dismissed at Fort Reno:
Gin the matter of the order dis
charging the enlisted men Of three com
panies Of the Twentyffth infantry is
sued by the president, application was
presented to the secretary Of war by a
number Of persons of standing asking
for rehearing by the president of the
ground on which the action was taken.
The secretary telegraphed the president
of the application and delayed the pro-
ceedings Of the discharge until the
president could indicate his wishes.
The secretary was meantime called out
Of town. No answer was received from
the president.
HIhe secretary on his return did not
feel justified in further delaying the
execution Of the order of discharge,
especially in view of the fact that the
secretary then learned that the presi-
dent had fully and exhaustively consid-
cred the argument against the order of
the persons who now applied for re-
hearing.

federal grand jury in which they were
asserted to have used the United States

companies had given trust Companies
certain assets to indemnify bonds Civ

time the bonds matured. The corpora

periods all the way from twenty to
forty years.
In using the mails to circulate their
methods of doing business, the compa-
MES Informed corporate enterprises de-
string money that they could secure
funds by calling at the Chicago offices.
Methods of Swindling. -
On arrival in Chicago, the officials
would be introduced to alleged capital
lists who represented that they had
capital to finance business propositions
and would buy the stock, provided the
corporation officers would have them
underwritten+ by responsible guaranty
companies. It is asserted that these al
legged capitalists would then advise
that the work be. done by the Central
States Underwriting & Guaranty COM
pany: the American Corporation G. Sc
curities company or the National Stock
& Guaranty company of San Francico.
The brokers would represent to the
proposed victim that they would get
no compensation for their work unless
they actually sold the stoeJs, and they
would be content with d ntmmission of
from y to 1 per cent on such stock as
They sold.

Claims of Government.

The federal authorities assert that in
each case the underwriting company
was given fee and that in many cases
the officers representing the company
seeking the underwriting had scarcely
left the underwriting office by the front
door before the broker who introduced
the capitalists would enter thru an
other entrance and get half the under
writing fee, and the underwriting ven
ture would then be closed by the I'M
derwriters and the broker, no attemDt
being made to sell the stock.
The government officials say that the
men arrested never entered into a
proposition with less than 100000 in
vested, and that they in many cases
obtained as much as $5,OOO,OO0 worth
Of stock to underWrite.

The reproduction of the wedding OF
Miss Alice Roosevelt to Mr.. Nicolas
Longworth, which will be produced
by the w. +. H. c. Progressive Club
at East Turner Hall, Thursday even

brilliant social affair ever witnessed

The committee has completed ar
rangements to carry out the program
in perfect harmony and in keeping
with the real wedding, which took
place on the 17th of February at
Washington. The committee has al.

that number is wholly inadequate to
supply the demand of persons desir

therefore compelled to take this meth

$40 Of the latter's money. would
cost more than the amount Of the
forgery to cause the man n's arrest and
there seems to be no disposition on
the part Of Mr.. Jensen, the employer,
to wreak vengeance upon the man
who wronged him.
The details of the forgery would
never have come to light had 1t not
been for the discovery OF Mr.. Jensen
himself, AS stated yesterday taei
check was first passed upon D. r..
