FRIck REPORTED TO HAVE LOST
THIRTY MILLIONS IN
STOCKS.

Millionaires Lose.

Henry c. Prick lost $50, 1000, 900 in the
Wall street slump, according to a re-
port current in New York banking
circles. The head of great bank as
serted Mr. Frick was loaded with high
priced stocks when the turn of the
market came, and was forced to dump
large holdings at whatever they would
bring Mr.. Frick is said to have been
carrying hundreds of thousands of
shares, and when he was compelled to
unload this burden there was a devas-
tating deluge on the New York Stock
Exchange that carried everything
down with it. 1t is said Mr.. Frick was
! the greatest stock plunger the world
has ever known, and that the story of
his operations, If, il ever becomes
known, will be one of the most amaz-
ing financial deals on record. MIR.
Frick is something of a man of mys-
terry, and he never lets the public into
his confidence. 1t has been known,
however, that he was piling up mil
| lions with great rapidity, and it was
| supposed he was shrewd enough to
escape with his gains. Now it appears
that his fabulous winnings were ION

Rumor has it that Charles NJ.
Schwab has recently disposed of large
holdings Of the United States Steel
corporation common stock, and to this
is attributed partly the recent heavi-
| ness in that stock. The liquidation is
said to have been necessary with GER
tain banking interests who have be-
friended him financially to lift or pro-
vide for certain underlying bonds of
the Bethlehem Steel Co., which were
generally supposed to have been pro-
vided for some time ago.
1t is also thought possible that the
report that Mr.. Schwab has mortgaged
his palatial residence on Riverside
drive, New York, for something like
100000, may also be connected with
this situation.
Within the past few days a number
OF brokers have been selling large
blocks of stocks and bonds of the
United States Steel corporation
Thursday it was declared that prac
tically all the securities unloaded
were holdings of William Ellis Corey
This action is said to be in accordance
with deal made with the corporation
at the time he was reelected presi
dent. A Pittsburg report says Corey is
dumping his stock into the market for
the purpose of depressing values.
1t is understood that the officials
demanded his resignation, and Corey
is attempting to retaliate by selling
his stock.

preparations for establishing a state
archaeological laboratory, fully ex-

Say Law Retards Railroads.

Prominent electric railway men say
that construction of electric lines in
Michigan is retarded by the Michi-
gan securities act which provides that
unless electric railway companies
have paid at least four per cent. divi-
dends on capital stock for period of
five years their bonds may not be
taken by state banks. A bill intro
duced by Senator futile amending the
present law so as to authorize the
approval by the securities commits
sion of the bonds of companies having
certain net earnings has passed the
senate, but is pigeon-holed by house
bers of the securities commission, con-
sisting of the state banking commits
sioner, attorney general and state
treasurer, are said to be opposed to
the amendment. The futile biz is
regarded as most important, but up to
this time it seemed to have escaped
public observation. Officers of the
Michigan United railways assert that
under the law at present the bonds of
no electric railway company except
possibly the Detroit United can be
held by Michigan banks. This is de-
clared to be handicap to electric
railway construction in the state as
eastern capitalists hesitate to pur-
chase bonds that have no market in
the banks of the state where they are
issued

The Gould Divorce Brings Out Po-
lice Scandal.

lice SCANDAL.
Mrs. Catherine Clemmons Gould
spurned a $1,OO0,Oo0 bride, dangled be-
fore her by her husband, Howard
Gould, to induce her to get an abso-
Lutte divorce from him, according to a
story told by w. c. Woodward, alias
big" Hawley, who is suing the mil
lionaire for $250,000.
81 know positively that Howard
Gould, or his family, If he should back
down, will give Mrs. Gould $1,000,0O0
to get a divorce from her husband"
said Hawley.
Mrs. Gould has sent word to Police
Commissioner Bingham that she is
ready to appear at police headquarters
on his appointment and tell all she
knows of the alleged use Of the de-
tective department in her divorce case.
On the authority of a high official in
the police department it is stated that
an unexpected turn has been given the
police end of the Gould case. While
investigating the manner in which
Howard Gould secured the aid of the
police department, Commissioners Bling
ham struck the trail Of widespread
graft among the detectives. He has
learned, it is alleged, that for years
the detective department has been
made use of by rich men to further
their wishes and the detectives who
served these rich men were largely re-
warded. In some instances 1t is said
that speculative accounts were carried
which hive made certain officials OF
the department rich men in return for
services rendered privately. A police
investigation even more far reaching
than the Lexow affair may result, and
many very prominent men will be in
volved

only be with the aid Of Wisconsin, says
f. H. Nelwon. He explains that there
are counties in Wisconsin that pay no
bounty for wolf scalps and that the
so bounty offered by the state is no
inducement for men to hunt wolves
Even IL Michigan should offer a boun-
ty as high as $75 or 800 that would
not cepopulate the upper peninsula of
wolves when they are bred in hun
dreds across the Wisconsin line.
