 CONCERN.
GOODWIN REFUSED HELP
Actor Withdrew From Partnership With One Member of Firm Be- cause of Transactions That
 Were Slightly Shady"

New York Oct. 1.-The federal au- thorities say that George Graham, Rice, whose real name is Jacob Simon HerZig. an ex-convict and manipula- tor of wildcat mining stocks, was the genius and packer of R. H. Scheftels & Co.'S brokerage house with offices here and in other cities which were raided on warrants charging conspir- acy to use the mails to defraud. These officials say the firm has taken more than $5000, ,0O0 from the gullible in- vesting public,
 Search for the remainder of the money taken from the public Is being made by federal agents. It was said that Rice had expended large sums on a woman of fine appearance who Is known in the higher circles of Man hattans midnight life. This woman of mystery" while not arrested, has dealt in Scheftel's Nevada securities and knows of the reasons for the re tirement of Nat Goodwin, the actor and husband of Edna Goodrich from his partnership with Rice. Goodwin allowed his name to be used ill boom ing "Rawhide Coalition" one of the Scheftels stocks.
 Rice Had the Brains.
 George Graham Rice whom Govern ment Agent Scarborough says is the brains of the concern, saw the throng, and made hurried inquiries, and learn ing that there was a raid. jumped into h ,.l aA fn hn residence of Mrs. Elizabeth or Bessie Iafell. who lives in luxurious apart ments near Central Park west.
 Rice was arrested later and accord ing to federal agents will be held in prohibtive bail
 'I freely admit am friend rather a pal. of George Graham Rice.' said Mrs I.afell to reporter. 'I am not in love with him, but l know him to be a splendid fellow.
 Bernard H. Scheftels, president of the firm here, hooked up with Rice, coming to New York and starting B. H Scheftels & Go. In connection with these operations there was estab- lished the firm of N. c. Goodwin x Co. Nat Goodwin of this firm is the actor. He came out in page advertise ments. boosting mining schemes in which he was interested This ran along for about year, when Goodwin severed his connection with Rice and issued a statement that he could not stand for" stock selling without any producing Then the firm of B. H. Scheftels X Co. was incorporated. with a capital of $t00,000 The treasurer was George Bowles, a racerack tout, who was associated with Rice in his racetrack schemes.

 They began a career of advertising that was unprecedented, their princi- pal operations being in Ely Central and Rawhide Coalition. The Engineer ing and Mining Journal, at one time exposed the Ely Central as valueIess. Rice started libel suit, which has not gone to trial.
 In the last few months the men be- hind B. H. Scheftels x Co., had on their books the names of more than 800 900 speculators throughout the country, more than 1000 of whom were active in the market through Scheftels all the time.

ed from authentic sources that Mr..
Schumacher was called East to con-
fer with Mr.. Hawley and received his
instructions from Mr.. Hawley person
ally. When the question of salary
arose Mr.. Hawley referred him to
President E. T. Jeffery with the state
ment that Mr.. Jeffery would adjust
that matter to Mr.. Schumacker's sat
isfaction. The above Information
comes direct from the East and while
lacking official sanction is given in a
way that leaves little doubt as to its
accuracy.
Mr., Hawley, Frank Trumbull, B. F.
Yoakum, and their associates, are
said to have acquired large holdings
in the Denver & Rio Grande shortly
before the death of E., II. Hartman.
Large blocks of the company's stock
changed hands on the New York stock
exchange, but it was impossible to
tell who is was purchasing it. The
Rock Island, the Union Pacific and
Hawley were generally accredited
with being the most likely buyers at
that time.
Following that period of activity in
Denver & Rio Grande stocks came the
announcement that Kuhn. Loeb &
Co., who are financing a number of
the Hawley roads, had become the

to the acquisition of stock in the
Denver & Rio Grande and his posi-
tion is said to be SO strong that he
recently named a vice president for
the Denver & Rio Grande and Vest
ern Pacific over the head of President
E. 7. Jeffery.
The first report which became cur
rent was to the effect that Mr.. Haw-
ley had become large stockholder
in the Western Pacific. An inyesti-
CATION showed that MIR. Hawley islnot
only stockholder, but director in
that company, but his holdings are
not large enough to give him the con-
trol. Ii is also learned officially that
1t Is impossible for Mr.. Hawley to
secure control of the Western Pacific
except through acquiring majority
of the stock of the Denver a. Rio
Grande.
The western Pacific has 81 5,000,-
600 stock outstanding, The Denver
X Rio Grande acquired $4,000, 900,
or two-thirds of the entire issue. The
Denver IL Rio Grande then deposited
all of this stock with the Bankers
Trust company of New York as col
lateral security for-its recently auth
orized $3.50, 100000 bond issue. That
deal ties up the Western Pacific stock
so that no person or company can Sc
cure majority of it without acquir-
ipg control of the Denver & Rio
Grande. Mr.. Hawley got into the
Western Pacific through the acquisi-
tion b ythat company of the Alan. eda
q San Joaquin Valley railroad, but
he owns less than S25. 900, 900 stock,
as that is all that is in the hands of
the public.
A second investigation of the re-
ports from the East disclosed the in
formation that Edwin Hawley is re-
ported in the East as having either
acquired a controlling interest in the
Denver & Rio Grande, thereby getting
control of the Western Pacific, or has
made an alliance with George Gould.
Last November T. NJ, Schumacher of
the El Paso & Southwestern was
elected vice president of the Denver

Denver & Rio Grande stock. That

quickly sold and the syndicate dis
solved during the present week.
The roads belonging to the Hawley
system which would find a Pacific
coast outlet through the Denver &
Rio Grande and Western Pacific are
the Chicago & Alton, the Chesapeake
& Ohio, the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as, the Toledo, st. Louis & Western,
the Iowa Central, the Hooking Valley
and several connecting lines in the
Middle West and also the St. Louis
K San Francisco, which recently pass
ed into the hands of the Hawley syn
iicate. These roads will undoubted-
ly be connected and make a new
transcontinental route from the At
lantic to the Pacific if these reports
are proven correct, and the informa-

they would be allowed to leak out if

Planting Plans For the Home Orchard
and Grounds
BY G. NJ. GRIFFING

SO desolate and bare, with children 1eav-
ing at an early age, long before they
should think OF going out into the world,
all because of the lack of interest and
love in the home, could have been equal
ly or more beautiful with the music of
merry voices from the young and happy
hearts Of the children, now growing into
young man and WOmanhood, had they
had the foresight a few years earlier
to have invested comparatively small
amount in trees and plants to surround
and beautify the home.
The accompanying planting plans, or
landscape plans, for an acre home lot,
ten rods wide by sixteen rods in length,
is suggestive Of ideal home surroundings
for the greater portion of the lower
South. Tor extreme South Florida and
South Texas some more tropical and
seml-trOp1cal trees and plants could be
substituted for some of those mentioned
in this list. In place of the Satsuma
Oranges and grapefruit, the standard
round oranges could be used, the num-
Der Of figs could be decreased and the,
same augmented by a reasonable num-
Der Of mangoes, Avocado pears and
other tropical fruits. The number of
peach trees, plum trees, and possibly
pears and persimmons, could be reduc-
ed, giving preference to more of the
tropical and semi-tropical fruits. There
is, however, no place in the lower South,
unless it be extreme South Florida,
where we would suggest leaving out
the pecan trees, as the standard perman-
ent trees, and in which we would not
recommend some persimmons, figs,
grapes, peach and plum trees of the
varieties especially adapted for the ex-
treme lower South.
While this is a practical and good
plan, and if carried out will furnish an
abundance of fruit throughout the year
and give most pleasing effect, as
shown in Gig. 81, yet it is only intend
ed to be suggestive and show what can
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

/ be accomplished in the home orchard
and grounds. Most people have their
own personal taste about the fruit and
trees to surround the home just as they
have about the arrangement of the house
itself. +
In making up the fruit selection, you
should cover as near the entire year with
the various kinds and varieties as pos
sible. Some trees, such as peaches and
p1ums, will come into bearing in one
or two years from time of planting in
the orchard, but do not live and endure
as long as other kinds of slower develop
ment but which grow to gigantic size,
living almost indefinitely. A sufficient
number of the large, strong growing
trees should be planted at suitable dis
tance apart to permit of full development
and eventually to occupy the principal
portion, if not all of the ground space
The trees of next most permanent char
acter should be planted i'll the center of
the squares between these trees, with the
shorter lived and smaller growth trees
between these, as suggested by the dla-
gram Of the acre plot. Large trees, and
especially large evergreens, should not
be planted in close proximity to the
dwelling-they tend to shut out sum
light and breezes, and harbor mosquitoes
and insects.
Straight lines and square setting
should be avoided for the best orna
mental effects, but orchard trees and
vineyards should be pla tied in straight
rows and at uniform distances apart ;or
convenience and economy in culture and
care. In the ornamental grounds nature
should be initiated as closely as possible,
grouping trees and plants for the most
pleasing effect SO as to give shade and
protection from the glaring sun in sum-
mer and to let in light and warmth in
winter, always bearing in mind to keep
the larger growing trees sufficient dis
tance apart that they will not crowd each
other out Of shape.
The following key to the planting
plans will show what fine collection of
diversified fruits, nuts, shrubs and plants
can be prohtably and pleasingly set on
an acre of ground The figures or let
