.WHYBREW FACES
CHARGE OF FRAUD
Arrested on Warrant Sworn Out
by His Partner, ]. D.
Rogers.

F. J. Whybrew, of 1924 East Mar
shall Street. was arrested shortly after
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a
charge of obtaining $500 under false
pretenses from j. D. Rogers, OF 7Ol
Denny Street. Whybrew represents
the Virginia Industrial Company, with
offices at 1902 East Main Street. Some
time ago he advertised in the papers
for a partner to enter into business
with him, the plan being, it is said.
to form a chartered company. No
charter was ever secured, but the COM
pany proceeded with Its business,
Rogers claiming, however, that he
never got any returns for the amount
he had invested He entered into the
company on May =, when, according
to the terms of an alleged agreement
drawn up between them. he deposited
$50 with Whybrew. On June l he al
leges that he paid in S4s0, making
total of $500, part of the stipulation
being also, 1t is asserted, that he be
employed by the company at salary
of SIS a week. Whybrew declares that
he paid Rogers SIS week, and that
he has paid out in this way about $500.
On August IS Whybrew is said to
have obtained $500 from George >.
Pritchard. of 3219 Floyd Avenue, but
the latter has not made any complaint
of illegality
1t is said that he has an option on
the return of his investment, to become
due on October 20 Whether he will
take action after that date depends 1t
seems, on the outcome OF the present
case
Through his attorney, Edgar Eng
lish Whybrew states that the original
idea of forming a chartered company
was given up, and it was then decided
TO continue in business as a partner
ship But 1t seems that the returns
from the business were not coming in
fast enough for Rogers. who had come
nearly 200 miles to engage in the bus
mess, and after failing to get what he
considered proper dividends he had
recourse to warrant for Whybrews
arrest on a charge of felony.
Whybrew declared, however, that the
business has been properly. conducted;
that there has been no misappropria
tion Of funds nor intent to defraud.
and that it is simply business mat
ter between himself and Rogers.
| He was locked up in the First Police
| station, where he spent the night

STRAY POSSUM
ON BROAD Street
Denizen Of Swamp Comes to See
Great White

Rambling far from his accustomed
haunts, a possum was discovered on
Broad Street near Fourth, early yes
terday morning. crossing over to tho
other side, making for Jackson Ward

was entering into the zone OF greatest
danger. But Policeman Porter OBJ

the heart OF the city, at that hour. tho
cause for suspicion. and he called ID
the possum to halt.
But the visitor from the swamp
enlivened his gait and made a squirt
for liberty. Again the stentorian tones
of the officer, now fully aroused to the
danger threatening the peaceful dwell
ers of the wrong" side of Broad
Street by the invasion of stray and
night air. He announced that he was
an officer OF the law, duly appointed
by the Board of Police Commission
ers. and duly sworn in by city Clerk
the name caused the possum TO prick
up his ears. and he then realized his
danger.
He. looked around despairingly for
bare telegraph poles confronted his
vision. In the distance he thought
he discerned limb of refuge on one
of the city's conserved and adjoining
trees. and he made for 1t as If he had
"a real doggie behind him. instead OF
"a hound OF the law.
But the policeman was too quick.
He brought the critter down with his
club, stunning him. Then he picked
him up by the caudaI appendage.
"Tatn't wuth while TO take him 10
the station" said a passing negro
I'll lock him up. Give him TO ,nuh"
He got him.
Where the 'possum came from no
one knows. but 1t is thought that he
came up from the river.

Smoking That Maddens.

Marihuana is weed used by people
of the lower class and sometimes by
soldiers. but those who make larger
use of it are prisoners sentenced to
long terms. The use of the weed and
its sale, especially in barracks and
prisons, are very severely punished;
yet it has many adopts. and Indian
women cultivate it because they sell it
at rather high prices. The dry leaves
of marihuana alone or mixed with to-
bacco make the smoker wilder than a
wild beast. 1t is said that Immediately
after the first three or four drafts Of
smoke smokers begin to feel a slight
headache; then they see erything
moving, and finally they lose all con-
troll of their mental faculties. Every
thing, the smokers say, takes the
shape of a monster, and men look like
devils. They begin TO fight, and, OF
course, everything smashed is mon
ster "killed." But there are imaginary
beings whom the wild man cannot Kill,
and these inspire fear until the man is
panic stricken and runs.-Mexlcan

The Curse of Cowdray.

Cowdray. once the estate or the ears
of Egmont and now in the possession
of Lord Cowdray, better known as Sir
Weetman Pearson. is the subject OF a
very Interesting superstition. Shortly
after the dissolution of the monaSteries
Cowdray was conferred upon Sir An
thOnv Browne, the father of the first
Lord Montague. who had already been
given Battle Abbey as d reward for
his services TO Henry VIII. The story
goes that Sir Anthony, who had de-
stroved the church and the cloisters in
Battle Abbey. was visited in the great
hall as he was holding his first feast
by one of the dispOssesSed monks, who
after solemnly cursing him, prophesied
that his family should perish by fire
and water. Two centuries and half
later the prophecy was tragically full
filed. In 1893 the house was Destroy
ed by fire and within a week of that
disaster the last Lord Montague lost
his life in Germany in an unsuccessful
attemDt to shoot the falls of the Rhine.
