FoRDNEY FOlLS PRESIDENT.
Congressman Diverts Tariff Pressure
by Humorous Stories.

WASHINGTON, July ia story of
how Representative Fordney, protec- |
zionist from Michigan, avoided low tar
if pressure from the President at his
breakfast at the White House the
other day is causing much amusement
at both ends of the Capitol these
days. 1t was known that the President
had invited Mr. Fordney to breakfast
to urge him not to oppose the revision
advocated by Mr.. Payne, and it has
at least leaked out what happened
there.
The Michigan Representative was
received cordially by the President and
the breakfast began, goes the story,
as if it were purely a social affair.
Mr.. Fordney, was however, on his
guard, and he talked the more rapidly
on that account. The meal VS. well

Louis Rosenberg, cigarmaker, living
at 1855 East 3Sth street, Cleveland, O.,

imminent.
A third Cleveland man, Sam Fris.
bic, is held at the county Jail tonight
as an accomplice. He has mace a
confession.
The three men met at Bedore's
Hotel, where they had gone for a va
cation. Last night they attended a
at the hotel and Rosenberg showed
large sum of money. This morning
Rosenberg's bpdy was found lying
face downward in the rushes on the
shore of a lonely little islet.
The proprietor of the hotel immedi-
ately summoned officers from the
city. When they arrived and searched
the pockets of the dead man they
found that he had been stripped of
every cent OF his money.
The officers returned to the hotel
with the body, when they heard a
man inside scream:
1--WE taken dope, help!"
With a physician who had accom-.
panied them they rushed to his side.
but he died in few moments. The
man proved to be Frank Elbera. His
room was searched, and in a suitcase
was found a revolver and some bloody
clothes, with nearly 5000 in money.
The officers took into custody his
roommate. Sam Frisbie. Frisbie's res
idence is at 27O2 Library avenue

Frisbie told a sickening story of the
cold blOoded fashion in which Elbera
killed Rosenberg.
'I'll get that Jew yet he says FL

the several days the men had been
together at Bedore's. During the
lance last night Frisbie declares that

Plea that he would meet some girls
here.
Frisbie says he accompanied them.

the same state of coma. What had
produced these strange symptoms was
a little row of hypnotic figures on the
page. These seemed to show that Mr..
Oliver had exactly $4,S75,594.37 at a
New York bank. A great and awe
stricken hush fell upon Climax as
soon as the news leaked out, and
through this silence Mr. A. D. Oliver
strobe toward his destiny like Napo-
leon.
1t was the next day that Mr.. Oliver,
with many apologies for his careless
ness, recovered his handbook and
made proposals to buy the Climax
Bank. He was generous about his
figures. He only stipulated that he
should have possession at once. What
could one say to a man who had $4,-
S75,694.37 in New York? Mr.. Oliver
got the bank. He gave a check for
it. Then he went right into his new
possession. went right into" is a
bore the check with which he had
bought the bank went anoter, certi-
fled by the cashier, for an amount a
little larger. The depositors paid
that, but they didn't know it. That
was the first joke on Climax.
Distributes Automobiles.
Banker Oliver expanded his chest a
little more and walked the streets
proudly. A new era began for that
part of Georgia. With checks from
the Climax Bank, Mr.. Oliver, bought
another bank at Quincy, Fla. With
checks from that he bought lumber
company at that town, and bought
few more banks in nearby cities.
Where he couldn't buy banks he Or
ganized others. Soon he had a whole
chain of them-half a dozen banks,
each a little mint turning out checks
for Banker Oliver.
With some of all these little checks,
Mr.. Oliver started to buy automobiles.
Just bought new auto" he would
say to the daughter of the wife of
some influential citizen. "How do
you like it?"
ooh, isn't it lovely" they would
chorus.
"Now, we'll take a ride" would
say the fascinating Mr.. Oliver. They
all would.
do you like it?" he would ask at
the end. eyes. Well it's yours"
And it would be. All this was perfect
ly fine and a man who could give
away $4,000 autos must be such a rich
man, you know. Every time he gave
away an auto his credit went up so
per cent. That was another undis-
covered joke. Then he would buy
diamonds-which he gave away.
Wasn't Mr. Oliver just grand? He
was.
In the intermin of auto and diamond
giving, Mr.. Oliver organized more
and bought timber land.
Climax began to boom so loudly they
could hear it away off on the coast.
