CLEW LEADS TO

NEW YORKER CAPTURED BY

Affords Evidence
[By Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-Martin Kaufman
of New York was arrested tonight by
former United States Postoffice In
spector Henry c. Hill on the charge
of fra.ds amounting to 100000 in con-
nection with the Cotton Goods Con-
verters company of New York
Kaufman was for long time con-
sidered one of the most trustworthy
business men of New York. His part
ner, NJ. A. Isaacs, had such implicit
confidence in his integrity that, accord
ing to him, ne induced a number of his
friends to take shares In the business.
The business proceeded satisfactorily
for six months, until a Cincinnati mer-
chant named Blum, who had invested
in the, company, asked a customer 10
settle an account which the customer
declared was not due.
An investigation of the company s
accounts followed and resulted. 1t is
alleged, in the discovery of number
of falsified entries amounting to
81. 900. Kaufman in the meantime
had disappeared.
Made Losses Good
Some of the stockholders held Isaacs
morally responsible, but he gave his
check for the amount missing. The
New York Credit Mems association
took up the matter and mad kaufmann
indicted.
Postoffice Inspector Hill was placed
in charge of the case. 1t was known
that Kaufman had sailed for Europe,
but no clew could be found until his
wife, who is in business in Lawrence,
Mass, dropped a paper containing a
photograph of a hotel.
Neither the name of the hitel nor the
name of the city was mentioned, but
a window was marked and above 1t
were the words" This is my room" in
Kauf .nn's handwriting.
After many difficulties the hotel was
located in Vienna, where Kaufman
resided under the name of Marvin
Kent. He had ordered that his mail
should be sent to tourists office in
Berlin.
He called there this evening and Hill
accosted him. At first Kaufman
stoutly denied his identity, but later
he admitted he was the man and was
arrested. He now awaits extradition
papers from the United States.

GAS .coMpANY's PETITION.
Claim Made That New Gas Rate VIII
Put ConnnanN Out of BUSINESS

S'o"l NteSSV s'Ss0s SSW S10S SNdkS VIII
Put Company Out of Business.
! The petition of the ,Marshalltowr
Light, Power and Railway company
filed in the federal court at Dies Nome:
Thursday, in which the company en-.
Joins, the city from enforcing the new
gas rate ordinance claims that If the
new rate Is put into effect the com.
pany will be practically put out OF
business.
The petition states that the city
granted to A. T. Birchard a twenty
five year franchise to operate his light
plant. Shortly afterwards the Mar
shaltown Light. Power. and Railway
company purchased the plant, and
erected number OF expensive build
ings, amounting in all to 100000.
Under the Birchard( franchise. the
rates agreed upon between the city and
Mr.. Birchard were 81 per thousand feet
for gas, it is claimed. Now, the city
council has lowered the rates OF ,saA
to s1.10 per thousand feet. The petit
ton also staes that In 1910 the rates
are to be lowered to $1.05, and year
later to 81.
The company now, claims that this
was done contrary to agreement, when
it had understood that the rates were
to remain at 50. The company also
claims that the reduction will nearly
put it out of business. because under
the old rate it must. make $4,000 to
pay any dividends on stock.
The power company claims the city
had no right to abrogate its contract
with Mr. Birchard, by arbitrarily fix
ing the rates, and that it was not con-
suited. The company claims the action
unconstitutional It will result, it says
in a large reduction in the gross re.
ceipts of the company.

The Defense.
Mr. Boardman is so impressed with
the magnitude and influence of the
Times Republican that he is entitled to
be excused of latent animosity or per-
sonal interest and the T.-R. will try TO
meet criticism Of this kind in fair
spirit He. in fact, as he admits,
has not raised new controversy Tor
the life of newspaper men the world
over Is made up Of daily calls from peo-
pie who would, secure valuable pubic
ity for nothing. Professional men par
ticulariy, the lawyers and doctors. for
whom Mr.. Boardman speaks. all sub
scribe to a code of ethics which de-
clares it unethical, and unprofessional
for a lawyer or doctor to pay advertis-
ing rates for publicity to boost his
business yet thoroughly professional
and highly desirable to secure all the
favorable newspaper mention possible
free of charge AS class they know
that advertising pays fully as we'll as
a clothing merchant knows Tt but their
code of ethics makes advertising I'M
professional If 1t pays the publisher
ANYTHING. This is not directed to Mr..
Boardman personally as he has been
the most reasonable about these matters
within the limitations of his profess
ional creed of any Of his class.
Nor is 1t new idea to look upon a
newspaper as public utility. Candi-
dates for office, people Of all kinds with
an enterprise to promote join the doc
tors in taking this view but with
strange inconsistency they declare 1T
to be unlawful for an electric light
company to serve anybody without
charge or at any different charge than
is made to somebody else while de-
nying the newspaper utility the privi-
lege of making any charge at all.
The policy of the Time s-Republican
In this regard is no different than that
of all we'll regulated newspapers; no
different under the present management
than under it's former management. In
structions to employees have never been
changed. In fact the printed instruc-
tions of the Associated Press to its

SHERIFF sHIPP WILL APPEAR IN
s COURT
Pathetic scene "a Aged Veteran starts

Chapter I'm Contempt
-st Cases.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 14.--sWith
the good wishes and kindly spirit OF
such a gathering as this to accompany
me, feel that am ready to face any
thing" was the final message of ex-
Sheriff J. r. Ship as he boarded the
train for Washington this morning at
1885 a. m. whence he goes to receive
sentence by the Supreme Court for
contempt growing out of the lynching
OF Ed johnson. a negro.
Al crowd of between 400 and 500,
among them some of the most promt-
nent men in Hamilton County. were
assembled to witness the departure of
Sheriff Ship and the Ave other de-
PENDANTS in the now famous contempt
case and to wish them good luck and
a speedy return.
The interest seemed to center In
Captain Ship. Friends swarmed
around the gray haired veteran AMI
for at least thirty minutes before the
train left he was kept busy shaking
hands and receiving messages OF good
will. Gray haired veterans who had
fought shoulder to shoulder with the
ex-Sheriff during the sixties pressed
around him to offer their sympathy.
and as the train pulled out many were
observed to be shedding tears.
Although a cheerful attempt was
made by the members Of the party to
appear optimistic, they could not con-
ceal their anxiety. The attorneys who
represented the men openly admitted
that for the first time since the In
aictment of the six men the case has
assumed a really serious aspect and
they lay much stress on the Govern
ments evident determination to have
all the men present tomorrow.
According to arrangement. Messrs.
Padgett and Mays surrendered them
selves to Deputy United States Mar
shall c. E Gresham at the Central de-
pot Just before train time. BY so do
ing they were spared the necessity of
paying their fare to Washington.
In the party that left for Washington
today were Captain Ship, Luther Will
liams, Nick Nolan and Jeremiah Glib
son, all OF whom will appear at their
own expense in Washington tomorrow
to receive sentence. In addition to
these were Henry Padgett and Henry
Mays. accompanied by Deputw Gresh-
am. and Attorneys Chamlee. Cliff and
Lynch. Attorney T. Pope Shepherd
left for Washington Saturday night
and will be present to aid his clients.
The possibility OF the men receiving
a severe sentence was freely discuss
ed and IL was openly stated by men
prominent In both Democratic and Re
publican circles that In such an event
the united influence OF the county and
State would be brought to bear on
President Taft in an endeavor to Sc
cure pardons.
