Abraham White, the Merry Bond
Buyer. in Jail

New York, April 22.-Abraham
White, the head of the Abraham
White Bonding company, No. 81
Broadway, who, as clerk with only
IA cents capital, successfully bid on
$1,000, 900 of the government bond is
sue of 1896 and got the allotment
and made millions with the profits OF
the deal, was locked up in police
headquarters, is charged with swind-
ling a pensioned employe OF the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad COM
pany out of $500 the savings OF his
life.
White was arrested in his luxurious
apartments in the Hotel Manhattan
by Detectives McConville and Mel
son. They had been trying to find
him for several days. He was later
released from bail in the sum Of
$4,000.
The story White wrote of how he
had made his coup in government
bonds and had made half a million
dollars in one day out OF the tran
saction was responsible for his pres
ent troubles.
The complainant is Isaac Zane OF
White Haven, Pa, who, in the days
when the Sixth avenue elevated road
was operated with steam, was an en-
gineer In September, 1906, Zane
came across an old copy of the paper
for which White had written his ar
ticle and he read all about that tran
saction.
Zane was particularly impressed
with the account of how Russell
Sage had loaned 100000 to buy the
bonds solely on the note of himself
and wife. SO he wrote to White,
saying he had $500 which he would
like White to invest for him.
Zane says he did not get an ans
wer to his letter until January 80
1907 when White, on the stationery
of the Greater New York Security
company, himself mentioned as pres
ident, apologized for the delay in an
swering the letter and said he saw
an opportunity for good investment
Zane says that he then sent White
a draft for 800 and an order on the
Bank for Savings in this city for $500
which White acknowledged and
which acknowledgment is now In the
hands of the police.
On March 10 last Zane came tC
New York and told the police he haC
tried for two years to get something
out Of White, having written to hin
repeatedly and that all he had t
show for his investment was a checl
for 1926. Then the police went t
work White refused to make an.
statement when arrested
After his government bend deal II

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle over Them
Just as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book of that day:
THE swallow once invited the snail
to dinner. He lived just one league
(three English miles) from the spot,
and the snail travelled at the rate Of
only one inch day. How long would
it be before he dined?"
"An old man met a child. Good
day, my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and if God gives you one year
In addition to the others, you will be
a century old!' What was that boys
age ?"-The Comrade.

A shippino Error.

wife of the richest peer in England,
recently gave birth TO her third child,
a daughter. Thus there is no heir to
the immense Grosvenor fortune, Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess second child,
having died at the age of four.
Apropos of all this, rather cruel
story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year-old daughter of the young Ouch
ess.
A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the
drawing-room, little Lady Ursula en-
tered.

gravely. Mamma can't see any one

baby. They sent her, you know, a girl

Pumpkins VS.. Bankers.

AS a further measure of discour.
aging the giving of undue prominence
to so-called vaudeville" features at
county fairs in Wisconsin, Secretary
of State Frear sent to the secretaries
OF the various county and sectional
agricultural associations, about sew.
enty-five in number, re blanks
which contain warning that there is
a penalty in the law in case of untrue
reports.
These reports form the basis for the
state aid given to county pumpkin"
shows, so per cent of the bona fide
total of premiums paid upon agricul
tural and domestic science exhibits be
ing paid to fair associations as a
bonus. The law provides that when
state aid is given, the total of purses
offered in exhibitions of speed" shall
not exceed one-third of the grand total
of premiums. 1t also is required that
sworn statement be made that no
gambling has been allowed on the
premises and no intoxicants sold on
the grounds.
1t is the intent of the law that the
giving of premiums for agricultural ex-
hibits be fostered and the traditional
status of the county fair preserved, as
opposed to a plethora of freak exhibit
tiOns, sideshows and other concessions,
which have come to be Jumped under
the term vaudeville" The penalty
for filing untrue statements of pre-
mtums is a fine of $50 to $500.
