WINTEMUTE E ARRESTED
 FOR FRAUD

concerning the misleading and exag gerated statements made by Gamer on Spear of No. 56 Pine street, New York, and his associates, in the pro motion of the Collins Wireless Tele phone company and its successor, the Continental Wireless Telephone and Telegraph company.
 In the literature of both the Col Iins and the Continental companies you will find frequent use of the names and portraits of Hon. William Jennings Bryan of Lincoln, Neb.i and Hon. Morris Goldwater, Mayor of Prescott, Ariz. That these names and pictures have been used to mis- lead is self-evident.
 Mayor Prescott, Ariz. Dear Sir
 Page of a very elaborate booklet, advertising the Continental Wireless
 Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. l, 1910. Hon. Morris Goldwater,
 I have filed with you a disclaimer made on behalf of MT. Bryan and the following correspondence with Mayor Goldwater explains itself: Telephone and Telegraph company pictures you talking over a Collins Wireless telephone with Hon. William Jennings Bryan.
 The obvious intent of this illus tration is to convey the idea that you have endorsed the Collins Wire less telephone, which has attracted millions of dollars from the pockets of innocent investors, and which mas never yet done one dollars worth of commercial business, unless stock sell ing may be elassed as such.
 The Collins Wireless Telephone company is controlled by notorious swindlers, and we write to learn what investigations, if any, you made into the proposition; what rights you gave the promoters in the mat ter of using your picture, name, etc, as a yelled endorsement of the en- terprise7 You can serve the luck less victims of this concern well by giving me any and all information you may have on the subject.
 Yours very truly,

 NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The arrest in New York of William T. Winte- mute, a broker, by the postofiee in- speetors on a charge of having de- frauded several English people of prominence in an alleged crooked mining stock deal is attracting inter- national attention on account of the fact that the charges were brought by the Countess of Tankerville and Miss Henrietta Elout of Glendale, Eng, who assert that they jointly invested more than S50,O00 in mining ventures of Wintemute.
 The countess was formerly Miss Leonora Van Marter of New York, and said to be most happily married.
 The Prescott End.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. IT, That the advertising matter and the correspondence current herewith ars regarded as a part of the contract in a stock selling proposition is the basic and all important factor in the pro- gressing prosecution of William T. Wintemute, who is under arrest in New York, charged with using the United States mail to promote scheme to defraud.
 This same ruling by the Postofiee Department applies to the Con tinental Wireless Telephone and Tele- graph company and its fraudulent predecessor, the Collins Wireless Tele- phone company, both of which swindling concerns are being pro- noted by Cameron Spear and his as- sociates from the offices of the Co., lumbia Finance company, Nos. 56 and 5s Pine street, New York.
 The most extraordinary prospectus issued by Spear in the name of the Continental Wireless Telephone and Telegraph company, averages a lie to a line, and a critical analysis of the book is before the Postohfce De partment now in support of specific charges of fraud, some of which were filed as early as February 15, 1910. It is estimated that not less than S10,O00,000 has been lost by poor in- vestors in this swindle.
 One of the favorite methods of Cameron Spear and his associates is to link the names of prominent eiti- zens with their questionable enter prises. In promoting the Collins proposition, Spear has made con- stant use of the names of Hon. Will jam Jennings Bryan of Lincoln, Neb., and Hon. Morris Goldwater, Mayor of Prescott, Ariz., both of which dis tinguished gentlemen repudiate both Spear and his companies. The fol lowing correspondence relates to this phase of the fraud, and explains it. self:

 Dear Sir:
 Your agents operating in New York arrested William T. Wintemute, a promoter, of No. r Battery place, on a charge of fraud, based upon statements made by him in his pros peetus and correspondence concern ing the Gold Run and Tunnel com pany. These statements it is alleged by the prosecuting witnesses, were gross congregations, misleading, and therefore to defraud. It follows then that you will take the same view

WHEAT PRICES ON
RAPID DECLINE
Reported Break in Corner Sends
Prices Downward.

Minneapolis, Aug. Wheat trad
ers in Minneapolis were startled when
the price of July wheat in Chicago fell
with rush from $1.09A to $1.031s,
going down nearly cents so quickly
that it was difficult to follow the
changes It rebounded to $1.051h an6
was very erratic thereafter.
Rumors from Chicago of the col
lapse of an attempted corner in July
wheat came over the wires. It was
said that T. H. Waterman, the miller
of Albany, N. Y, who has been re-
ported in control of the Chicago July
option, had thrown his wheat on the
market. The effect here was to send
prices to new low levels.
Minneapolis July at $1.18h was
nearly 8 cents down from the high
point of ten days ago; Minneapolis
September at $1.10% was 8 cents
down, and December at $1.O91a was
proportionately lower. 5.z
