Scheme Seemed Harmless

The petition for the formation of
the Hotel Tontine corporation came
before the Connecticut, legislature in
1924. At that time and before hos
teleries had been sanctioned by the
State and legislative acts had been
passed authorizing them, two or
three Yale dormitories were erected
from proceeds of the drawings, so
that the tontine scheme seemed to
the lawmakers quite harmless. In
surance was then little known, and
tontine policy looked like any mutual
scheme although from the other end.
The tontine corporation, which
the Connecticut legislature of 1924
was asked to sanction permitted a
stock company to be formed of $50
shares of 500 each, making a total
of $25, 600 The holder of each share
was to nominate some person and of
the ESQ nominations the seven surviv-
ors, or rather the persons who nomi-
mated them, were to share the proper
ty when the 243 others were dead.
The petition cited the need of coffee
house" in New Haven, and stated that
the $4,000 to be raised was to be
devoted to the erection of such a
building

BENDER FAMILY
MYSTERY WE'D
determination of Murder.
erS Told By VigaIante.

Chicago, H., July 14.-(SpeciaD-
What purports to be the true solu-
ton of the Bender family mystery
has been revealed by George Evans
Downer, an old citizen of Downers
Grove, H., and grandson of the
founded of that town. He is now on
his deathbed, and desiring to rid
his mind of the tragic memories of
thirty-fiye years ago, made public
the story which has so long re-
manned a secret except to his family
and a few intimate friends.
Nearly four decades ago the Ben
ders, an old man and his wife and
a son and daughter lived in a lonely
shack on the Kansas prairie and, as
afterward developed, were response
BILE for the mysterious disappear
ance of many solitary travellers
through that region When suspi-
cion fell upon them they suddenly
disappeared, and search of their farm
revealed that they had committed a
score or more of murders.

New Haven, Conn, July 14-(Spe-

now more than "a years old, will re-
lease a property worth at least a
quarter of a million dollars and close
the most mysterious financial ven
ture ever sanctioned by the State of
Connecticut, or possibly, by any
other Commonwealth. The old man
whose death is awited does
not know that he is a
party to the mystery, and, as his
death is necessary to unseal the lips
of those who are in the secret, he
never will be told. He is in rapidly
failing health, and the chances are
that the facts which have been hidden
for "a years viii son come to light
The enterprise which has come to
hinge upon his life is the Tontine Ho-

Industrial Activity Promised

1t is estimated that, in all, per-
haps, 100000 men will benefit by
the unemployment movement to be
inaugurated.
The mills are to open, railroad inn
proyements planned in the boom times
are to be pushed, and all lines of
manufacturing are to be made ac-
tive
The workmen are to be told when
they are put to work that the cleo
ton of Taft looks like a certainty,
and that the employer feels he can
make the investment which the adj
ditional wages represent. 1t will be
intimated that if, by any mischance,
Taft should fail of election, the old
condition of depression would un-
doubtedly return, and indeed, be
worse.

new SCHEME TO

Corporations Will Push
Work to Help Republicans


New York, July Especially
part of the Republican campaign,
there has been planned by the great
corporations the most stupendouS
labor movement ever known in AM

The corporations are to contribute

They are to contribute to prosperity
instead of the campaign fund.
Ever since the nomination of Taft
there have been conferences between
the corporation managers and the
leading politicians Owing to the
recently enacted laws in New York
and other cities against the secret
campaign contributions and the pub
lie sentiment against corporation
gifts to political committees, the
managers of Taft have been much

Reward for Benders

Downer, who entered the army
during the civil war afterward drift
ted to Kansas in search of adventure
and became interested in the Ben
ders when a reward of $500 was of
fered for the arrest of the murder
ers of Dr. William H. York of indie
pendence, brother of Senator York.
DIR. York like many others who dis
appeared, had been last seen near
the Bender farm. Downer visited the
place several times, and one night
while watching the place saw John
and Kate carry a bundle of clothing,
which later proved to have belonged
to their victims, into an orchard and
bury them. 1t was evident that they
were aware that they were under
suspicion and Downer fastened to
Cherrymile, the nearest town, and
notified four other vigilantes.

Daughter Commits Murders

The crimes were committed by

ance of the family reports came

According to the story now told

told his wife and members of his
family at various times during the
past twenty-five years, the Bender
family ives exterminated by a small
band of vigilantes of which he was

runs, destroyed every vestige con-
necJad with the Benders and made
a compact to keep the matter secret.

When they reached the Bender
farm the family had packed up all

lantes pursued and when they came
up with the Benders were fired
upon and battle ensued, in which
all the Benders and their horses were
killed. The bodies were buried and
their belongings destroyed by fire.
Kate Bender, according to the story
made confession, and was shot af-

captors, one of whom she wounded.

Oldest Hotel in New Haven

The result was the construction of
the Hotel Tontine, now the oldest
and one of the largest in New Hav-
en- Exactly 247 shares were taken,
and the hotel was, therefore, built
with $24,700 The nominations made
wer mostly from babes in the cradle,
and in most cases pains were taken
to select infants whose pedigrees
on both ancestral lines showed lon
gevity.
The hotel had fourished through
out eight decades, and has always
paid dividend exclusive of the prin-
cipa.
Gradually the list of nominees was
reduced by death. 1t has been the
policy of the stockholders not to in
form their nominees that they are
really such for fear of extortion be-
ing practiced, but in some cases it
has been necessary to do so. Tradi-
ton has it that young man about
to fight a duel was informed that he
was a Tontine nominee and that he
thereupon refused to fight. Several
lusty middle-aged men were dis
suaded from enlisting during the
civil war by receiving the informa-
ton that they were Tontine nomi-
nees. In these cases, it has been
rumored the nominees made the
Tontine shareholders settle gener-
ously for the sacrifices they made.
