ANOTHER MINING
GRAFT NIPPED
SEVERAL HUNDRED VIC
TINS OF ALLEGED SWIM
DLE-LURED ALONG
BY FICTITIOUS
DIVIDEND
DEVICE

An investigation by postoffice
inspectors of the affairs of the
American Mexico Mining and
Developing Company, a $1,000
900 corporation, with its princi-
pal offices in Chicago, resulted
Thursday in indictments against
w. A. Arms, promoter OF the cor
poration, and Walter S. Dillon,
employed as manager in Mexico.
A system of mines exploited by
the company and subsidiary con-
Germs is said by the federal au-
thorities to be worthless. Inves-
tors, it is declared, have been in
Chicago during the last few
weeks clamoring for a return OF
their money. Arms and Dillon
furnished bonds for their appear
ance for trial without service oil
warrants. 1t is charged in the
complaints against the men that
thirty-four fictitious dividends,
intended to deceive investors,
amounting TO more than $780,,
900, have been paid, and that
Arms promoted the organization
Of the consolidated Mining and
Smelling Company of Maine and
through that corporation made a
pretended purchase OF additional
mines at a cost of 100000 and
fictitious sale of the property to
the American Mexico Company
for S142,0O0.
The victims of the alleged
swindle are said to number sew
eral hundred.
The same grand jury returned
an indictment against Raymond
T.. Bernier, an ex-Chicago stock
broker and financial magazine
promoter, who is now in the Gus
Ddy OF federal authorities in Los
Angeles, Cal. Bernier is accused
of appropriating funds placed in
his hands by investors for the
publication of Opportunities of
Today, and the Financial Journal
which proved losing business
ventures.

RAILROADS LOSE TITLE
TO VALUABLE PROPERTY
Decision Of Federal Judge Ross Gives
to Joseph Call 141 Acres Of
Beach Land Near Santa
Monica Wharf

AS the result OF a decision handed
down by Judge Erskine M. Ross of
the United States circuit court yester-
day, the Southern Pacific company and
the Los Angeles-P Pacific company lose
title to 141 acres of beach lands valued
at more than $4,000, two miles west of
Santa Monica wharf. This included a
half-mile strip on the ocean front.
BY this decision the title to the
property is given to Joseph H. Call
and Dora c. Call of Los Angeles, who
brought the suit against the railroad
companies.
A portion of the land lost by the rail-
road companies was to have been used
as a right-of-way for the proposed
electric line from Santa Monica up the
coast.
The Southern Pacific company based
its claim to the land upon a convey
ance from Joseph Moynier, entryman
on the land. This transaction was
said to have occurred in 1893.
1t was learned later that Moynier
was an alien at the time of making
the entry and the land he was in pos
session of was temporarily withdrawn
from the market.
When the land was restored to entry
in 1898 Moynier qualified as home
steader and made new entry. He
sold the property in March, 1905, to
Joseph II. Call for $4,000.
When Call learned that the railroad
company claimed an interest In the
land he began suit to Gust the COM
pany.

SON OF RICH ZIMMERMAN
is TRIED FOR FORGERY
Fast Companions and Extravagant
Living Said to Be Responsible
for Fall of Young
Man

The trial of Everett Treacey, %
years of age, said to be the son of
Alexander Treacey, a rich lumberman
of st. Marys, Canada, on charge of
forgery was begun in department one
of the superior court yesterday.
Fast companions and extravagant
living are said to be the causes that
led up ii his present predicament
According to the testimony, Treacey
was introduced to Godfrey Fritz, a
contractor, at the Union League club
April "a under the name of H. ]. Har-
ris. After a short conversation Trea-
cey, or Harris as he was known then,
agreed to buy horse from Fritz for
which he was to give 5000. Accordingly
Treacey gave a check for $500 on the
Western National bank of San Fran
cisco. He asked Fritz to cash $500
check, stating that he, Treacey, was
short of money and did not want to
wait until he could secure funds from
the northern bank. Fritz cashed the
check, then wired the San Francisco
bank and learned it was worthless.
The $500 check did not get to the hank,
nor did Treacey call for the animal
which he purchased with the worthless
paper.
