Newark n. J.. IL was learned to-day. came to
Mexico City recently. hoping to realize $4,000 on
an investment OF 5000 tie received letters from
Mexico some time ago from an alleged abscondins:
hank officer who said he had fled TO France with
100000 and was in Jail. The letter said that
the money tied up In trunk which had been
pawned. The Frenchman anxious to redeem

Would Mr.. Bauser with a small sum help him
out Of his predcament. and in return receive "A
third OF the money.
Mr. Bauser started for Mexico. but the postofiice
inspectors at New York City got wind of the
swindIe and advised the Mexican officers
Mr. Bauser met friends OF the distressed banker
in tho Alameda at night. The secret police were
at hand and arrested the friends" Now Mr.

At the postonice inspectors office in the Federal
Building II said yesterday that circulars Of
the kind that lured John Joseph Bauser of Newark
n. j.. TO Mexico City were frequently held I'D In
the mails here and sent on 20 Washington. All Of
these promises OF great reward on a small invest
ment, known by the inspectors as the 'trunk
swindle. have the place Of final transaction in
Spanish territory or In countries whose laws are
similar 10 those I'm force in SPAIN This is because
of the difficulty OF conviction under that law In
the circulars issued by the PostOfHce Department
attention is called TO the difficulty follows:
Under Spanish law felony must be consum-
mated before the police may act. and a mere at

appear to warrant The money must be
actually paid over. and the prosecuting witness
must be present in person 10 testify; otherwise
prosecution would be useless

DRUNKEN FIGHT IN
DISA BLEED LAUNCH
One Man Is in Hospital and One
in Jail as Result of Sum-
day Spree.

A wild joy ride in a launch on Pearl
Harbor Sunday night resulted in the
near-wrecking of the boat, free-for-
all fight and the stabbing of one with
chisel. W. A. Begg is now being
held at the police station pending the
investigation of his connection with
the case, and he is said to admit throw
ing the chisel, though he says that he
thought it hit the side of the boat
The six men in the boat, which be-
longs to the Hawaiian Dredging Com
pany, were Lopez, Richard. Lund, Mer-
rill, Begg and Cites. The latter is the
victim of the nights row and is at
present at the Queen s Hospital, being
treated for cash on the inside of the
leg and one on the head.
All men are employed by the dre6g-
ing company and wound up the holiday
season Sunday night, it is alleged, by
going on a general spree, although
whether or not they were drunk when
taking the launch out or whether they
accumulated their jags afterwards re-
mains to be discovered, In the midst
of the spree the steering gear was
broken and the members of the party
found themselves floating onto the
reef. Some tried to repair the broken
part and others commenced to get an
anchor out. All are said to have been
so drunk that they were incapable of
getting the boat back into service. This
made them angry.
The fight followed. Lopez was below
decks and was not participation in
nor a witness of it. Cites is alleged
to have bitten Begg in the ear and on the
arm, and both wounds are ugly. Begg s
ear looks as if it had been chewed by
a cow and his arm is two inches bigger
around than it ought to be. He then
picked up a chisel and heaved it al
Cites, SO it's said, although he claim:
that he thought he heard it hit the
boat s side. More details as TO the
fight are expected after the police In
| vestigation.
