Promoter And President Of Kansas
City Concern In the Tolls Of
Federal Court.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. III. G.
Wilson Of 1899 Warwick boulevard,
promoter and president of the Inter
state Fiscal Agency company, was ar
rested Thursday afternoon on fed
eral warrant charging him with using
the mails to defraud. The warrant
was sworn out by q. L. Mckee, post
Office inspector. It stated simply that
the Interstate Fiscal Agency company
which is capitalized for 100000, rep
resented itself to prospective inves-
tors as supported by the Kansas City
Life Insurance company and as hav-
ing already declared a 40 per cent
dividend in one year on the stock that
had been purchased and paid up.
Mr.. Mckee made a statement
Thursday night giving a summary Of
the results of the investigation Of the
case.
1.-THE company" he said, was or
ganized last January to sell life in
surance for the Kansas City Life In
surance company. The new company
traded $3O0,L00 Of its capital stock
for contracts held by state agents Of
the Kansas t.,y Life company in Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma. The
other 100000 of the stock was left
unsold in the treasury of the com
pany Wilson was up to that time
the Kansas state agent and he re-
ceived a large part Of the 100000 Of
stock for his contracts.
Numerous agents were sent out to
dispose Of the stock given for these
agencies and 1t was sold to men in
three states. September 1 the COM
pany had declared dividends amount
Ing to 40 per cent on the stock that
had been sold. At present thay have
sold about $4,000, par value, Of
stock at rates averaging SIS for each
30 share. They are believed to have
taken in about 100000.

notwithstanding Restrictions, More
Of Them Arrived Last Month
Than Ever Before.

Washington, Nov. 16.-While i'm
migration to America from all coun
tries showed, during the month Of
October, a considerable increase, be
ing 20 per cent greater than Oct. 1906
the increase In immigration from
Japan was greater than has been
shown In any one month In the his.
tory OF the immigration service.
The restrictive regulations operat'
ing against the Japanese and Koreans
have been In force for about seven
months, but Notwithstanding this,
the immigration Of Japanese constant
" has increased during that period.
The ofniclal figures show that
during October, 1905, before the re-
strIctive regulations were thought Of,
the number Of Japanese arrived in
this country was 6S4. During October
Of this year the number of Japanese
arriving In America, not counting
scores who were struggled across the
Canadian and Mexican borders was
1876, an increase Of about $50 per.
cent.
While this enormous increase in
Japanese immigration is not particu-
larly alarming In the minds of off.
cials of the government because the
percentage of Japanese immigrants
Is not largo, 1t has been sufficient to
create comment, Ne statement con
corning the matter however, can be
obtained from any responsible Off.
cial of the department Of commerce
and labor.

INVITE A TEST.
J. M. GIeissner Asks Catarrh Suf-
ferers to Try Hyomei on
Their Guarantee.


j. M. Gleissner invites all who suf
fer from any form Of catarrhal troubles
to get a Hyomei outfit from them
with their absolute guarantee that II
it does not give perfect satisfaction,
the money will be refunded upon re-
quest.
There is no other treatment for
Catarrh that in any way resembles
Hycmei, none that gives such quick
curative results and lasting satisiac-
ton, no medicine that can take its
place, none that can be sold on a
guarantee like this,to refund the money
unless IL cures.
Catarrh is germ disease and can
be cured only by breathing Hyomei,
80 that the most remote air cells in
the nose, throat and lungs are reached
by Its autiSeptic healing powers. In
this way all catarrhal germs are killed,
the irritated mucous membrane is
healed and catarrh is driven from the
system.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach, but is breathed through a
little pocket inhaler that goes with
every dollar outfit.
The unusual way in which J. M.
Gleissner sells Hyomei attests his
confidence in the remedy.
