money to dummies on fictitious notes,
accepting his own stock as collateral;
taking millions of dollars out Of bis
banks for his own use without scratch
of pen to show how he had borrowed o

his worthless bonds at par; paying the
bank bsck principal and interest if his
enterprises succeeded and keeping the
proG,s; letting the bank bear the full loss
if the enterprise tailed; buying bonds at
low rates, selling them 10 his bank at par
and placing the difference to his personal

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
That the jamestown Exposition msy
be kept open until December l6, when
hs feet sails for the Pacific from Hsmp-
ton Roads, was possibility considered
last night by Harry st. George Tucker,
president of the exposition.
"The board OF governors OF The expo
sition may also consider the proposition
of keeping the fair open for a longer
period" said Mr. Tucker last nj hit.
at has been called to their attention,
and it is more than likely action will be
taken soon. The originsl proposition
was to keep the fair open until Novem'
Der 80, but | think il The other arrange
ments were made the government ex-
hibits could be maintained there for
some time"
Concerning the sbility OF the exposition
to pay out, Dir. Tucker was quite san
guine.
"Reports have recently been sent oui
from Norfolk" ssid Mr.. Tucker, go the
Eject that the exposition would be q
total loss financially, and that ne would
not be able to pay--thst we are insOlvent
and unable to realize on our assets. We
sill owe the government 5000, 600 on
loan made the expedition, ard the ct
tendance in the past month has fallen
of, bu. we have property there that is
worth all and more than we owe, and
such cansrds as the ones mention only
aid in crippling the business.
ITO begin with, we have 400 acres
of ground that is worth no less than
81, 600 an acre as it stood, snd on this
we have placed some 50, 900, COO improve
ments.
"Unlike previous expeditions, we
have erected permanent buildings, and
they will stand for many years. We
have had an offer of $500, 600 for the
place already, from a bargain hunter
who felt wo must be compelled to sell
out, bit, as a matter of fact, the place
now is worth no less than s., 900, 600.
With three tidewater railroads, the
property would be ideal for govern
ment coaling station and government
reservation, for that matter, but il is sc
resort | think it would be more profit
able.
"The proposition to keep the grounds
open until after the feet sails has not
been officially taken up, but as lis quite
likely the departure of the big ships will
be an event that will attract thousands
of people, it is rot improbable favorable
ection will be taken at once"
President Tucker still has his home at
the exposition open, and will remain
there some time. He will leave for
Richmond this morning and return
shortly to the exposition.
The directors of the Exposition yester-
day voted almost unanimously to reopen
The exposition next year. Bat this does
not settle the question, for the stockhold-
ers mrst pAss on 1t, and there sre num-
erous creditors who must he satisfied inn
medlstely after the fsir closes. The
stockholders can probably be induced to
vote to reopen the fsir, because they
could lose nothing aud might gain some
thing. but even then to make the show
a success, it would be necessary to have
The national government sgain par i;i-

 Oct 31.-Harriman received the money and turned it over to Treas urer Bliss, who in turn gave it to Cor telyou; Cortelyou retained $60,000 to carry out his plans for saving the state and gave the other $200000 to Odell; Odell distributed it among the county and city district leaders; none of the money was expended for the distribution of literature; neither Odell nor Cortelyou will tell to whom they gave the money or for what it was spent.
