GRANDE PO|NTE

To Limited Fire.Fghting Apparatus
Loss Between $50, 000-$6O, 900.

AIlGONAC, Mich. June 3.-An In
quiry was begun today to learn. IL
possible, the cause OF the fire that last
night destroyed the Grande Pointe
hotel. located at the extreme upper
end OF Harsen's island, opposite Wal
pole island, causing a loss estimated
between $4,000 and 100000. The
flames were discovered about 1880

ing apparatus. The fire spread to the
$4,000 summer home of r. j. Morgan,
a Cincinnati manufacturer, which ad.
joins the hotel. This home was only
saved after desperate fight by the
Alsonac fire department.
The Grande Pointe hotel was owned
by DR.. j, d. Kennedy, of Detroit. It
was to be opened for the summer
months on June 20 and workmen have
been busy on the structure during the
last week getting II in readiness. Care
lessness on the part of some employees,

fire. Another theory is that workmen
were burning out swallows nests In

the roof, started the fire, DR., Kennedy

OVER
TARIFF BILL
Deadlock Occurs in Commit
tee on Tariff Schedules
on Tuesday.
HOUSE TAKES The WHIP HAND ON THE TARIFF
Stated that Conference Re-
port Meets with Presi-
dents Approval.

Washington, July 2O.-There is Il
deadlock i'm, the committee of the
conferees on the tariff bill OCCASION
ed, it is said, by Representative
Payne, who apparently realizes that
he is in the minority. For this
reason the committee abandoned its
usual afternoon session today.
Senator Aldrich accompanied by
Speaker Cannon went tt the White
House. literally carrying with them
the entire tariff bill. What hap
pened at the conference with Presi-
lent Taft is a sealed book. Today's
activity of the leaders verifies the
rumors which have been rife about
the capital for several days, that
there have been troubles in the
secret conferences and meetings.
Some say that the differences be-
tween Senator Aldrich, and Congress-
mai Payne have taken such form
that future progress is impossible
unless President Taft has influence
enough to compel action. The story
is denied by both principals but it
is not denied that there was a clash.
yesterday between Congressman
Payne and Representative Fordney.
When an effort was made to get a
vote on lumber Congressman Payne
protested and urged that it is UNI
fair to the president. Congressman
Fordney suggested the vote. Sen
ator Aldrich acquiesed with Con-
gresham Payne, who wrathfully
told his house colleagues that their
duty is to yield only after every
possible effort to win has been ex-
hausted.
Congressman Payne is reported to
have said that he would not sign
the conference report merely be-
cause the majority of the house re-
publican conferees had agreed to it.
No reference was made to the dis
t%urbance today, but no subjects like
ly to provoke hostilities were
preached. At a conference Of pro-
gressive republican senators held to-
day it was said that all could not
vote against the conference report
because it is framed to meet the
presidents approval.

TRIED TO GET
RICH QUICK
The Old Axiom of Fool and
His Money" is Exemp-
lifted at Denver.
A LOVELY WOMAN WITH HYPNOTIC INFLUENCES
Woman Secures Confidence.
Is Now in the Clutches
of the Law.

Denver, Colo, July 17.- What
seems a most astonishing tale of
guillibility, the innate desire to get
rich quick, combined with the pa
thos of hard working people risk
ing years of their savings in desire
to provide against old age, at the
mere request of a rather proposes
sing woman, who is said to have ex-
ercised am almost hypnotic influence
over those she obtained money from,
is to be told in Justice Morris court
this morning when Mrs. w. w.
Wheeler will be arraigned on four
charges of obtaining money under
false %pretenses.
Nothing could more strongly ex-
emplify the old axiom of " a fool
is born every minute" the motto OF
confidence game workers since tine
immemorable, than will the score
or more of alleged victims. real es-
tate men, business men, unsuspect-
ing widows, women of wealth, work
ing mem and women, and washer
women, who will appear against this
gray-haired woman.
They aid say they gave her sums
ranging from $50 to $1,000 to in
vest in mines. Here and there she
has a bit of paper to show that the
cash has been paid over to her.
others whose pockets have been
reached have nothing to show for
it. None of the complaining Gin
v%estors' it is said, have derived any
returns whatever.
Each and all of them expected to
get rich, to roll in wealth, and only
L few of the score who handed over
heir reward of toll, knew the loca-
ton of the mines the money was to
be invested in. Apparently, with all
absence of reasoning, their instincts
appealed to the most illusionary
sort of promises, they united their
purse strings, and poured forth the
coins, expecting them to come
winging, bringing flocks of their
kind.
ALL told, it is estimated that Mrs.
Wheeler has obtained between 3d.
900 and $4,000 to invest in mines at
her own discretion. Some of the
money was obtained three years ago.
Repeated demands have been made
for it's return, it is alleged, and the
not have the money at the time.
Many investors, ashamed of their
%gullibility, have refused to prose-
cute, disliking the publicity of such
proceedings. Others, more deter,
mined, have demanded immediate
return of the investments" and
have by. threats of prosecution, it is
alleged, succeeded in getting their
coin back.
Mrs. Wheeler characterizes her
arrest and prosecution "as a black
mailing scheme and declares that
she will prove herself innocent of
any wrong doing. She admits taking
the money to invest but says she
gave her notes for the money, and
the notes are not yet due. She
claims that most OF the money was
invested in the Pea Mountain mine
which is about Is miles from Reno.

Mrs. Wheeler formerly lived in
Lead and was the wife of Sam Sweet

later married. w. w. Wheeler, an
engineer, and removed to Denver
about three years ago. While in
Lead Mrs. Wheeler was interested
in mining stock and often made
business trips to Rapid City.
