CHARGED WITH
Mine SWINDLF
ATTORNEY AND INSURANCE
AGENT In JAIL
COMPLAINT ASSERTS HE HAS
LOST OVER $4,000
Purchased Properties in Arizona and
Mexico Which Are Now Said
to Exist Only in
Fiction

A complaint charging Elmer E.
Row'ell, an attorney and investment
broker, and A. c. LIE Baron, an insur-
ling ]. NJ. Poundstone, an investor, in
fake mining scheme, and another
charging RoWell with forgery, were
filed in Justice Stephens court yester-
day. The two men are under arrest
and township officers are searching for
r. A. Johnson and George @. Stanley,
said to be parties to the alleged mining
swindle.
When the two criminal complaints
were filed RowelI was already under
arrest on warrant issued by Judge
James of the superior court in a civil
suit filed by Poundstone some time ago
for the recovery of money from the at
torney, the warrant having been issued
on the representation of Poundstone' S
attorneys that they feared the defend
ant was about to leave the state. His
was unable to furnish, and he was
placed in the county Jail. LIE Baron
was arrested late in the day and his
bond was fixed at $4,000.
Over $4,000 Involved
More than $4,000 is involved in the
transactions which, Poundstone claims,
were illegal.
In october last year, he says, .Rowell,
lie Baron, Johnson and Stanley induced
him to invest $4,000 in mining proper
ties said to be located in Arizona and
Chihuahua, Mexico, and later he be-
came liable for the payment of other
money as surety of Rowell to the
amount of $4,000 In the same month,
he says, he advanced 1870 for expenses
alleged to be needed in disposing of
the interests at a profit. He has dis
covered, he says, that no such proper
ties as represented exist, and that he
was the victim Of a swindle, pure and
simple.
RoweH refused to say anything re-
garding the matter after his arrest
headache and will say nothing he
said.
Admits Fake Dispatches
LIE Baron, while claiming to be one
of RowelPs dupes, acknowledged that
he had, while travelling under the name
Of r. L. Baldwin, sent fake kilograms
from Arizona, Texas and Mexico to
Los Angeles regarding the fictitious
mining properties, and it is believed
the contents Of these messages are re-
sponsibfe, more than anything else, for
the fraud perpetrated on Poundstone
"RoWell came to me in JULY saddle
Baron, land asked me to make a weeks
trip to Phoenix and wire back messages
he would mail to me. was to use the
name r. L. Baldwin. He said he was
in trouble, and for that reason I agreed
to help him. He paid my expenses, but
L received nothing beyond that I ex-
pected to be gone only a week, but on
his urgent request I made trips to
Tucson, Chihuahua, Ell Paso and other
places wiring back the kilograms he
sent me at each place. l returned to
Los Angeles last Friday"
The second complaint against Rowell
charges him with the forgery Of a
check on the Bank. of Commerce, Pasa-
dena, for $33SO in April last year. The
check is made payable to Poundstone
and purports to be signed by r. A.
Johnson. The two men probably will
be arraigned before Justice Stephens
today.

ARGUES AGAINST LOWER Duty
West Virginia Millionaire Says Pro
ducers Are In No Position to
Stand Reduction of Pres
ent Rates.

Washington, June 3.-During the dis
cussion by the senate of the schedules
on coal and oil. protection for the coal
and petroleum industries of the United
States was the slogan ON the senate
floor Of Senator Elkins of West Vir-
ginia.
Senator Elkins said that the coal
producers are in no position to stand a
reduction in the existing rates of duty
or reciprocal relations with Canada
and that protection should be given to
Independent oil producers regardless
of whether 1t would benefit the Stand
ard Oil company.
Mr.. Elkins said that coal mining has
been for generations the chief indus
try Of West Virginia. He said coal
should Ire considered in connection
with transportation, as it does not be-
come valuable for commercial pur-
poses until it reaches the point of dis
tribution and consumption.
The average profit on Il ton of btu
minous coal is about 10 cents. he said,
and during the last two years he as
serted that there had been no profit
Tabor constitutes about so per cent OF
the cost.
"rhe coal industry can no more be
disturbed without great damage said
