The arrest of George l.. Mckay
and Charles R. Colby, who form
the firm of George L. Mckay & Co.
stock brokers, at 20 Broad Street,
New York, has Schenectady signi-
ficance owing to the fact that the
firm was the fiscal agents for the
Equity Mining Syndicate of which
P. w. Dalton of Hardin's Crossing,
is the president. The New York
company has for some time been
under the surveillance of the postal
authorities owing to its use of the
mails in advertising and selling al
legged worthless stocks ana last Fri
day the two men composing it were
arrested by postoffice inspector
and detective from the New York
police department. The men were
arraigned Saturday before United
State Commissioner Shields, bail
fixed and the hearing set down for
this week.
The Equity Mining Syndicate is
the lineal descendant of the Elec-
trio Bullfrog Company. The stock
holders, in the latter were paid off
with stock in the new syndicate.
1t was said last night by a stock
holder in the Bullfrog Company
that when the bottom dropped out
of that enterprise, the firm of Nc
Kay & Company was instructed to
find another property. This was
aone and some 600 acres of land,
said to be rich in coal deposits and
located at Coaldale, New, was pur-
chased.
The Equity Mining Syndicate,
capitalized at 1900, 900, was form
ed and Mr.. Dalton, who is connected
with the General Electric Company,
was elected president. Theholders of
Bullfrog Company script traded it
for stock in the new concern, even
up. In this way between $4,000
and $4,000 worth of Bullfrog stock
held by Schenectady people were
exchanged for like investment in
the Equity Mining Syndicate. The
firm of Mckay & Company was ap-
pointed fiscal agents and began
pushing the sale of stock.
Mr.. Dalton yesterday in speak
ing of the arrest of Mckay and his
partner, said that about six months
ago the officers of the Equity Min
ing Syndicate held meeting in the
Office of Mckay & Company and it
was decided to take the stock of
the syndicate off the market. This
was done and since that date none
of the stock has been offered for aisle
Referring to the assertion of pros
pective purchasers that the syndi-
Gates property at Coaldale did not
measure up to the advertisements
of its value, Mr.. Dalton said that
the coal deposits were exactly as
represented.
