NOTHING DOING IN
WRESTLING MATCH
Managers Can't Come To
Terms,--Meet Again
Wednesday

Hans Froelecher and Mitsuka, the
unknown Japanese" are not match
ed for a wrestling bout yet, for all
of the fact that the two managers
met yesterday afternoon at Jack
Scully's for that purpose. After an
hour OF arguing and talking, the
two men, Vida and TAFT, found them
selves in exactly the same place they
we're before they met, so they decid-
ed to postpone the signing of articles
until next Wednesday, when Mitsuka
would be here to have his little say.
Vida stated that he had been au-
thorized by the poneyed man OF his
ride, J. Ono, to offer So per cent. of
the gross receipts for the privilege Of
promoting the match. This 55 per
cent. was to go, winner take all, to
the man who was all to the candy at
the end Of the bout. Eddie TAFT did
not LOOK with favor on the idea of
letting these men run the proposition
and he said so. He also stated that,
to his mind, Joe Cohen would be
about the real Mccoy as a promoter.
Joe, he said, had the reputation as a
promoter, and as he made this sort
Of thing his business, he would be

Sir Charles Picks Up the Course.

Darlington and Seton left the hail,

in beginning this famous man and
woman hunt. Seton, mounted on his
best horse, covered the ground at
great pace. Naturally he made much
better time than Strathgate had, for
all his furious driving of the bays.
1t was half past nine when at a bend
in the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was on the right
track. He brought his horse to a full
stop and dismounted to examine into
the situation.
The cause of the accident was obvi-
GUS to the simplest mind. He was not
content with determining that, how
ever. So he inspected the carriage
with the minutest care. He was not
long in discovering the hole made by
Ellen's pistol ball through the seat,
and he instantly OWNED that some
one in the carriage had tried e kin
the driver.

There's Seton!' calculated Car
rington, peering through the window.
"Charlie!" he called. Seton turned.
"Come here quickly, bear hand"
There was that in Carringtons voice
which indicated some grave emer-
gency. Seton ran across the lawn and
vaulted right through the window.

rington, bluntly. did you know any,

A moment later there was timid

bidding the woman who looked after
Mistress Deborah entered.

The maid disappeared, only to give
place to Admiral Kephard.

egated to 60 to st. Louis for the pur-
pose of entering bail, employing
counsel, and doing whatever else might
be deemed necessary to protect the
rights of Mr.. Graham. For ten long days
the secret service officials and the au-
thorities of St. Louis made every pos
sible attempt to disprove or even to
shake the story of Marcus Graham, but
without any practical results. Under
the circumstances it really seemed
that it would be necessary to release
him for want of legal evidence.
Then John E. Wilkie, who had been
directing the movements of his sub
ordinates by wire, determined to take
hold Of the case in person.
He immediately took train for St.
Louis, and after number Of inter.
views with his associates in that city,
began to consider how to reach the
weakest link in the strong chain of
probability with which Mr.. Graham
was surrounded. One of the earliest
movements made in the investiga-
ton was to discover the exact hour
at which the electric lights were
turned on in the Union station. The
engineer of the electric plant was con-
suited and his records showed that
on this particular date the switch
which put the lights into operation had
been turned on at $40. Wilkie next
sent to the newspaper Office which
had printed the found "ad.' and re-
quested a report upon the exact time
at which the advertisement was &C.
copied. The clerk who received the
notice was finally located. and he re-
membered distinctly that he had
stopped work on that afternoon at
five o'clock; the ad. which he had re-
ceived was the fifth or sixth above
the last one, and, according to his
own calculation, it must have been
handed in at half-past four o'clock.
This pointed to discrepancy in Ora
hans statement of one hour and ten
minutes.
One of the significant discoveries
among Crahan's effects was a number
of programmes of races at Gravesend
and two or three of the eastern tracks,
not to speak of one particular pro-
gramme which contained the entries
of the races where the first book
maker had received the 500 bill which
he deposited with his roll in the
Broadway Trust company. Graham
calmly admitted that he had attended
all of these races; that he was lover
Of horse flesh and that he occasionally
made small wagers on the results; but
he denied positively having passed
any of the other 500 bills, and said
that he had never had them in his
possession until he found the white
envelope at the Union station in ST..
Louis.
Wilkie did some very severe think
ing at this stage of the game, and out
of it all came the theory that If
Graham was guilty, he might have used
similar subterfuges in passing coun-
terfeit money at the eastern tracks.
The chief thereupon telegraphed New
York and ordered that z careful
search be made Of the files Of III the
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-08-19

NEW YOrK newspapers 1Or the TWO
months covering the racing season.
1t was like searching for the needle
in the proverbial haystack, but it bore
fruit, for in the New York Herald of
May "a the searchers discovered this
advertisement:
Found: At the Grand Central station
late yesterday afternoon a sum of
money in bank notes which owner may
have, after proving property, by ap.
plying to B-344, Herald Office
It is hardly necessary to say that by
this time Mr.. Wilkie had several spe-
cimens of Crahan's handwriting. After
the "ad." was located in the Herald,
the original copy was found in the
records of the Office and it was in the
handwriting of Marcus Graham.
The government was now in posses
sion of sufficient evidence to convict
Graham, both Of passing and having in
his possession counterfeit money, but
the authorities did not know where
the plates were, and how the money
had been printed. The big problem
was to locate the plant, to pull it up
by the roots, and effectually stop the
circulation of these spurious notes.
Graham might have confederates and
his trial and conviction, while impor.
tant in itself, would be very
incomplete satisfaction for the
government. One morning after the
case had been pending for many
weeks, and after Wilkie had all of the
facts in his possession, Graham was
brought to the Office of the secret
service division in St. Louis, and Mr..
Wilkie, placing his prisoner under pa
role, invited him to go out and take
bite to eat with him. The prisoner
had already begun to feel the effects
of his confinement, and he was de-
lighted to even obtain temporary lib
erty, and the satisfaction of good
meal at q first-class hotel.
The two men sat down together, and
Graham was given a breakfast that
would have delighted the palate, and
warmed the heart, Of the most con.
firmed epicure. It was topped of with
a fine Havana cigar, and then, this
Formally having been disposed of, Mr..
Wilkie proceeded to give Graham the

gree" so called, differed as widely
from the popular conception of the op-
Grafton as the day differs from the
night.
Graham" said Wilkie, "your con-
viction is as certain as that the sun
is shining this morning."
Wilkie followed this up by plausible
argument along the same line, and
always pausing long enough to permit
his words to sink into the mans
consciousness. The argus-eyed rep
resentative of the United States gov.
eminent knew by experience that
there is nothing in this world more
difficult for a man to do than to ad
NIT to another man that he has
been guilty Of wrong. He realized,

bill for the next race. The secret
service man, who was at his very
heels, made a two-dollar bet on the
same horse. The favorite won again.
The man "cashed in,' and as he did so
was taken into custody.
He was marched over to the club
house and searched. A white en-
velope was found in his pocket, con-
tanning % of the 500 counterfeit bills.
He said his name was Marcus Cra-
han, the proprietor of an extensive
photo-engraving establishment at
Providence, R. I. He was perfectly
candid in his explanations. He said
that he had been visiting the fair and
was a guest at the Southern hotel, and
that he would be very glad to refer
the officers to any bank in the city of
Providence for the purpose of estab-
fishing his moral and financial stand
ing. Nothing, apparently, could be
more straightforward. He was placed
under arrest, however, and then the
secret service men made an examina-
ton of his room at the Southern hotel
There they found suitcase con-
tanning $4,000 in genuine money. He
was asked then to explain how he
came to be possessed of the counter
felt money He said that on the pre-
vious afternoon he had gone to the
Union station for the purpose of hay
ing the return half of his railroad
ticket validated. AS he came out of

lights were suddenly turned on in
the waiting room, and he saw in the
corner on the floor long white en-
velope He picked it up and found
that it contained $4,000 in 800 bills.
He Immediately went to the Office of
one of the local newspapers and in
serted an advertisement telling of his
discovery, and offering to restore the
money to it's lawful owner. This part
of his story was verified by the little
Identification check which is given to

An inquiry was Immediately insti-

every feature of his story. It was
shown that he had high standing
there in social, business and religious
circles, and there was great deal of
honest resentment among his friends
and associates over what they termed
