New York City.-Swindling opera
tons which have netted more than
100000 a year for the last three
years will be revealed, the police be-
lieve, through the capture of Freder-
lex Gondorff.
Gondorff was arrested on the
charge of having swindled Frederick
Holznagel, a Scranton hotel proprie-
tor, out of $4,000 On a fake prize
fight, and it is said the evidence will
duplicate him in the robbing of Will
lam F. Walker, who looted the New
Britain Savings Bank of more than
S500,G00.
At the examination in the Tombs
Court every effort will be made to
have Gondorff held on the complaint
of Holznagel, in order to give the de-
tectives an opportunity to locate the
band of swindlers. Although using
Holznagel's charge to hold Gondorff,
the detectives of the Central Office
are after much bigger game in the
shape of bonds, valued at $120,00O,
which were part of the loot stolen by
Walker from the New Britain bank.
These bonds, consisting of $4,000
of Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road securities, $4,000 of Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul bonds, $15,-
600 Rochester and P%ittsburg bonds
and a number of other smaller par
GELS, have never been disposed of,
and it is declared that they are still
in the possession of the members of
the swindling band to which Gondorff
is suspected of belonging.
Band Had Immense Resources.
The immense of this band
Is illustrated by the story of Holzna-
gel, who declares that, while they
were dipping him, they made a flash
Of $230,000. He says that this was
in genuine currency and not stage
money, as he personally handled the
cash, and declares that it would have
been impossible to deceive him.
According to Holznagel the swind-
lers pursued the same tactics with
him as they did with Walker. with
the exception that they used the prize
light game, instead of the wire tap
ping scheme. One of the band, who
went by the name of Weber, stopped
at Holznagel's hotel in Scranton and
gained the boniface's confidence by a
legitimate business proposition.
Weber represented himself as a
bond salesman. Holznagel is inter-
ested in some coal lands in Tennes-
see which he is anxious to sell. On
learning this, Weber told Holznagel'
tht he knew some millionaires who
were also interested in coal lands.
and that he might be able to dispose
OF Holznagel's holdings.
The specific millionaires mentioned
were the Cudahys, of Chicago. Web
Der, after some correspondence. ar

hy's secretary" by the name of

Canals Old and New.

Canals more wonderful than those
OF Panama and Suez are already in
prospect. The early summer is to see
the commencement of an inland
waterway that will dwarf them both
into comparative insignificance. This
is the long-projected Baltic and Black
Sea Canal, which will intersect Russia
from north to south, a distance of
1000 miles, and the total estimated
cost of which is put at S500,O00.OOO,
although it will probably largely ex-
coed even this sum.
Another wonderful canal scheme
which is being enthusiastically taken
up In Italy contemplates nothing less
than the joining by this means OF
Genoa and Lake Constance. TO do
this it will be necessary, of course,
to cross not only the Apennine Noun
tains, but also the Alps.
This it is proposed to do py means

NO LIQUOR "ADs." IN GEORGIA.
Court of Appeals Affirms Conviction
of Chattanooga Dealer.

Atlanta, Ga. - Of wide reaching
Importance was the decision of the
Court of Appeals in the case of R. M.
Rose, proprietor of a Chattanooga
liquor house, against the State. The
case came up On appeal from the Bar
tow County Court.
In affirming the decision of the
lower court, finding Rose guilty of
soliciting through the mails, the
Court of Appeals held that it was a
crime in Georgia for liquor houses to
solicit trade through the mails, and
that sending letters was as much So
Letting as personal request, and that
the crime was committed at the point
where the latter was received.
The court held that this barring of
the mails to liquor advertisements
could not be considered infringing on
the United States prerogatives.

SOMETHING NEW IN SWINDLES.
Amazing Progress in the Higher Branches of tae Criminal Art lis Shown
by the Elaborate Cieverness Of the Ruse Used to Separate a
Pennsylvania HoteIkeeper From His Hard. learned Wealth.

Some progress in the higher branches of criminal art is argued
by the following narrative of how a Pennsylvania hotel keeper was led
to part with $4,000 of his hard earned wealth under the delusion that
he a betting it o N a prize fight gotten up for the amusement of a
party of Chicago and Philadelphia mi1ionaires. OF course the fight
was arranged solely for the benefit of the hotel keeper. The "miliOn.

There Are 5000 More Women
Than Men in Evanston

Chicago.-Is Evanston the uni
versity suburb, destined to become
an Adamless Eden? The question
was presented with great force to the
authorities of the suburb when the
census takers completed the annual
school census of the city.
The new census shows a surplus of
almost 5000 women in a population
OF less than $4,000. There are 49,
837 women and 1896 men in the
city, a total of 24,673, and a major
ity of 2971 for the women.

that they had a prize fighter by the
name of Sullivan whom they were
willing to back for any amount. Blair
said they were in Bridgeport, Conn,
and that Sullivan was with them. He
then unfolded a scheme by which
he and Holznagel were to win $2O,.
600 from the "Cudahys." He
said that he knew a prize fighter in
Boston, Collins by name, who could
defeat Sullivan. Holznagel agreed
that it was an easy way to get money
and the prize fight was arranged
ton of the bet. Blair furnished the
other $4,000. The "Cudahys'-
backed Sullivan for $4,000. The
fight was pulled off in the Bridgeport
Fair Grounds. Of course Collins
lost, but Blair declared it was on a
fiuke, and begged Holznagel to back
him for another fight.
Got $4,000 More.
The "Cudahys" offered to bet three
to one on the second fight, and Holz-
nagel hurried to Scranton to secure
more money. He returned with $10,-
900, which he put up on Collins, and
again he lost. 1t was at this fight
that 100000 was bet, Blair ~ostensi-
bly, making wagers amounting to
$4,000.
After the fight the "Cudahys"
turned the money over to Blair, their
secretary, telling him to deposit 1t
and send checks to the winner. Blair
then made a proposition to Holznagel
that they run away with the money.
He told Holznagel to go to Albany,
to the Ten Eyck, where he would
meet him and divide. Holznagel
went, but Blair failed to meet him,
and Holznagel came to New York
and consulted Lawyer John M. Cole
man, of No. 115 Broadway, who laid
the matter before District Attorney
Jerome. Holznagel was taken to the
Rogue's Gallery, where he identified
the pictures of Frederick Gondorff
and James Morgan, alias Deafy Nor
ris, as the two men who posed as the
Cudahys. The arrest of Gondorff
followed, and he was identified by
HolZnagel as M of the band.
The arrest of Gondorff Immediate
ly led the police to connect the men
of the band with the Walker swind-
lers. His brother, Charles Gondorff,
was arrested shortly after Walkers
fight, and was charged with having
been a party to the swindle, which
looted the New Britain Bank. Charles
Gondorff was held for trial and after
ward was released on $4,000 bail,
furnished by Bob" Nelson. He is
now running a gambling house in At
lantic City.
Walker, however, refused to impli-
cate any one in his stealing. He said
that he did not remember the names
of the men who swindled him. His
taciturnity destroyed the last hope
the Pinkertons had of recovering the
money. Frederick Gondorff's arrest,
however, has changed the prospect,
and it is now believed that the $780,
900 in bonds may be recovered.
