WEEPS AS He
PLEADS FOR BOAT
H. E. Ballaimey, Whose Launch Was
Seized, Used All HIS Savings In
Its Purchase.

For three years Henry f. BalIal-
mey, a machinist. has been putting
all his savings into the fund with
which he purchased a launch In the
spring. 1t is no wonder that he wept
as he pleaded with John B. Whelan,
collector OF customs, Tuesday morn
ing.
Bellaimey will lose his boat in all
probability for not needing Whelan's
signal to stop when discovered on the
river Saturday night, with no light
displayed. Beside that, Bellaimey in
TO stand trial for resisting an officer,
In trying to get away with his BOAT
when Whelan hailed him from the
government launch. A number Of peo
pie have tried to intercede with the
government officials for Bellaimey
among these being County Clerk Far
rell.
This has not caused any slackening
of the prosecution, however. and ii is
likely that he will be made an example
Of There are nearly 5000 launches In
the customs district from Monroe 20
Algonac. and Collector Whelan finds
that harsh measures will be required
to enforce compliance with the marine
regulations as far as lights. etc. are
concerned.
II shall not mount gun on the

sary to stop these speed launches.
says Whelan. II thought that after
collected a few fines last year, the
boat owners would have their craft
equipped properly by this season. But
it seems that they have not done so.
1T is not up TO us to chase these
fast boats, and, II they are not dis
posed to halt when we call on them t.
do SO, we shall have to put a cannon
on the government boat and fire a
chot after them occasionally"

THREE INDICTED FOR FRAUD
SPEEDY RESULTS FROM GRAND
JURY At MuskoGEE.
Investigation Into Town Lot SwindIes
Said to Reveal Wider Conspiracy
Than Suspected.

Muskogee, Okla. Semi-oficial re-
ports from the federal grand jury
Tuesday night were to the effect that
three persons have been indicted on
town lot fraud charges and that from
ten to fifty separate indictments have
been found against each.
Government officials, while declin.
ing to vouchsafe any information in
advance of the report of the jury do
not deny that indictments have been
found. To Danville, Va, goes the dis.
tinction of furnishing the first wit.
nesses to cause true bills to be found.
In the case of these witnesses the tes-
timony is said to be unanimous that at
least thirty-eight deeds were forged
by the persons indicted.
The sentiment here is that the
growth of the city has been retarded
by the clouds cast upon titles OF
realty and that the clearing away OF
the cloud will result in great benefit
to the city, though unquestionably
working hardships in many cases.
While every possible precaution Is
being made by the government to pre-
vent the secrets of the grand jury
room from leaking out, apparently
we'll founded reports are in circulation
to the effect that the investigation
shows a much wider conspiracy than
was suspected when the jury was
called to weigh the testimony against
less than a dozen men. It Is said
many others are involved.
To O. q. Pagin, assistant attorney
general, has been assigned the duty Of
drawing up the indictments. Pagin was
formerly assistant United States dis
trict attorney at Chicago. where he
gained the reputation of preparing In
dictments which never failed to hold
