BUNCO GAME LAID
AT HENDERSON DOOR
SECOND CHARGE OF EMBEZ-
ELEMENT is ISSUED
Man Who Posed as the President of
the United Manufacturing Com
pany Wanted by the
Police

Declaring that he had been swindled
out of $3.50 by means Of a unique swim
ding scheme c. e. Gillette appeared at
the deputy district attorneys office at
the central police station yesterday and
told his story, which resulted in Deputy
District Attorney Arthur NeltCh lssu-
ing a complaint charging H. p. Hen
derson with felony embezzlement. This
is the second complaint within two
days that has been made against Hen
derson.
According to Gillette, he met Hender-
son, who is a vendor OF patent medi-
Cines, or pretends TO be, in Oakland,
several months ago At that time Hen
derson told Gillette that he needed a
man TO be manager OF the Los Ange-
les branch of the United Manufacture
ing company Of which he was presl-
dent. Gillette remarked that he would
think about the matter, and came to
Los Angeles. Later he met Henderson,
and the latter declared that he needed
a good man for manager Of the Office
here. Gillette finally was persuaded to
purchase $3.50 worth of stock ia the
concern, which would entitle him to
become manager of the branch Office
here.
Gillette, so he says, was shown a
handsomely furnished Office at 6Ol
Frost building. After instructing Gil
lette in the workings of the business
Henderson, il is alleged said he was
wanted at san Diego 10 attend to i'm
portant business. He told Gillette he
would return within a few days
Gillette waited, and several days lat
er a furniture man appeared and de
manded payment for the office fixtures.
Gillette refused to pay, and the stuff
was removed. He then decided he had
been buncoed, and after waiting longer
for Henderson, told lis story to the
police.
The first complaint against Hender-
son was made by Louis Havlln, who
appeared at the office Of the deputy
district attorneys Friday and told a
similar story to that Of Gillette.

the plaintiff to remove "Kittie Minnie

that as Mr.. Reynolds is a member Of the
monetary commission, and as Senator AL
drich, who is such a power in the financial
world, is chairman of that commission and
has expressed himself fayorably to Mr..
Reynolds regarding this plan, there is little
doubt that its main features will be adopted
and recommended to congress in the forth
coming report Of the monetary commission,
This report will occupy several volumes,
embracing the opinions OF experts In
France, Germany and England, including
the history of the great banks Of these
countries, reaching back a hundred years,
and in fact will be the most comprehensive
history of banking ever published.
President Reynolds idea of a central
bank Of issue differs from that of others
yet suggested (who have proposed that the
stock be held by the banks OF the United
States) in that he would have the banks
have no interest in 1t whatever, except as
to holding their reserve, the stock to be

And That Texan Suddenly Becomes

Danny Daily of Texarkana, Tex, came to
town Saturday morning and had not been
in the Gate City half an hour before he
was engaged in "gittin' his pup out'n

Danny is the proud possessor of a s.

ride In a nice carriage, but the dog
catcher's w~agon-never.
Danny was for Jerking off his Jacket and

the fact that Il would have been one small
man against two big negroes-restrained
him, and he appealed to Police Captain
Mostyn instead. The latter, acting under

licenses, persuaded the arresting officers

BUTTER MARKET ENEARGES
Plan for Organized Market in Omaha

Market in Omaha.

Besides a butter exchange, the proposed
organization of creamery and commission
men to establish a butter market in Omaha
expects to handle eggs at least and the
new organization will doubtless be. known
as the Omaha Produce exchange"
On this market the 100000 pounds
manufactured in Omaha each year may be
bought by. those distributors and buyers
in the east who are now buying on
more or less fictitious prices made In
Elgin or New York City-prices not neces-
sarily based on the supply and demand of
butter, but upon the expectation OF the big
distributors who are usually large stock
holders in the exchange, making an extra
cent to a cent and a half on all butter.
bought on the basis.
Lincoln, Sioux City and st. Joseph have
signified their willingness to participate
in. the organization of<a genuine raer-
chandising butter market in Omaha and
to sell their butter on the market.
The plan of the Omaha market and its
relation to the butter distributor and the
consumer, is substantially the same as
the plan on which the Omaha grain market
In conducted.
How Market Works.
The last few months have been, a good
- wv III Z " n mar hGA
at Omaha for the selling as well as the
buying of grain. When the price in Chi
cago. has been high the Omaha market has
invariably been higher on actual cash
wheat. This was because the price was
genuine, paid in cash for wheat which
millers and Others were willing to pay for
the wheat which they. needed. ....... p .
The plan of the present Elgin market
is well known. No butter is made In
Elgin proper, as formerly, when the in
stitution known as the "Elgin price com
mittee" was organized. Since IL has fallen
somewhat into disrepute, and an Omaha
creamery man who was at a recent meet
Ing Of the committee heard one Of the
members of the Elgin exchange explain to
an inquiring Chicagoan that the quota
tons are made so you Chicago fellows can
make a cent and a half more on your
butter"
The prediction is made that when the
Omaha merchandising market is opened
the Elgin market will not last six months.
as 1t Is a fictitious price and not one
based on supply and demand.
David Cole Of the David Cole Creamery
company has returned from the east, where
he visited some large buyers of butter,
also attended the opening of the Albert
Lee butter market, when 200 tubs of but
ter were sold for actual cash on the ex.
change.
Those to whom I talked in the east are
very much in favor Of the organization OF
a market at Omaha" said Mr.. Cole. 'They
will come here to buy butter the same al
the mlllers and foreign trade comes to
Omaha to buy grain.''
A secretary with large experience in the
butter business will be employed by the
new organization when it is formed and
Omaha will doubtless go to the front as
the principal merchandising market in the
country.

know much more about the h~ardships of

CENTRAL BANK OF ISSUE
President of American As
ISOLATION Presents His Plan to
the Iowa Financiers.

Clement Chase, editor of the Western
Banker. has returned from Waterloo, Ia,
where he attended the convention Of the
Iowa Bankers association. Mr.. Chase says
this is the largest state convention that
has ever met, there being 900 delegates
registered. The Waterloo bankers won
great praise by their many courtesies to
the visitors, who had two days of perfect
sunshine in which to enjoy them.
The principal speakers at this convention
were Adam Bede, former Minnesota con-

Opens Store and Independent Dealers
Draw Up Their Lines for

Carrying out its plan to double the num-

it's products exclusively, the American To-
bacco company, commonly known as the
trust" has invaded Omaha and opened
a store in a prominent location.
What the cigar dealers Of Omaha think
Of this invasion would not do to print.
Though the store Is not yet open, some
of the stores are already prepared to meet
the alleged unfair competition which 1t
is claimed the trust offers wherever it
opens a store.
One or two stores have already planned
to give a coupon with each sale and these
will be redeemed at a premium store

ment guarantee 3 or 4 per cent on the stock
of the central bank, all profits above that
to be split even between the stockholders
and the government.
Mr.. Reynolds plan also provides event
uslly for the opening of branch banks by
the central bank In the reserve cities of
the country for the, purpose of better su-
perylsing the loans to be made to banks
in the various divisions OF the country.
This would be simply a bank Of discount
for the bankers of America and in no way
disturb existing conditions. sat
Mr.. Reynolds plan for a central bank
seems TO eliminate altogether the political
problem by doing away with the control OF
the institution by bankers, which would
never meet the approval OF congress-, thus
resolving itself into a purely economic
proposition which, when elaborated and
worked out, will not prove to be the bug
bear which has always been made OF a
central bank. Its control would be, vested
in a commission to be appointed by the
government, the members Of which would
