ASSERT EX-NUN IS A FRAUD
Paris Jewellers Cause Arrest of For
mer Sister Superior Whose
Friend Commits Suicide.

Paris, France-A woman known as
Sister Candide, who formerly was
superior of the order of st. Anne nuns
and who for many years has engaged
in an elaborate scheme of charitable
work, including the cooperation of a
sanitarium for tuberculosis children,
was arrested here and astonishing
revelations have been made by the
police concerning the woman's meth
DDS. After raising considerable money
in lotteries Sister Candide, the police
say, began borrowing vast quantities
of jewelry, ostensibly to sell on COM
mission. The jewellers finally became
suspicious and brought suit against
her. Much jewelry had been found in
the pawnshops of Paris and London
and an associate of the woman, Doc
tor Petit, hanged himself. He left
a note saying that he could not face
the exposure.

.BARES SUGAR SCANDAL
OLIVER sPITZER, FREED BY TAFT,
TELLS NEW FRAUD SCHEME.
Dock Superintendent Declares News
papers Were Stuffed Underneath
Scales to Defraud Weight.

New York City-Oliver Spitzer,
superintendent of the Williamsburg
docks of the American Sugar Rein
ing Co., who was convicted of COM
plicity in sugar weighing frauds and
sent to the federal prison at Atlanta
for two years, appeared in court here
to testify against Charles r. Heike.
the secretary of the concern, and its
first higher up" official to face trial
for completely in the gigantic swindle.
Spitzers appearance in court
brought out for the first time the fact
that he had been pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft May 10. This knowledge
was made public in dramatic manner
when Heike's attorneys rose to OBJ
ject against Spitzer's testimony on
the ground that he is federal pris-
oner. Prosecutor Stimson says that
Splitter decided some time ago to
save his comrades by making a con-
fession. There was no suggestion in
advance that he might be pardoned.
Spitzer barred many new secrets in the
sugar scandal in his testimony, but
told little to connect Heike with it.
SpltZer brought out one new point.
He told of the use of newspapers
stuffed underneath the scales on which
the trusts importations were weighed
to lessen their weight. Heike listened
meanwhile with tense interest. Spit
ger went back to the years 1894 and
1895, when, he said, an investigation
he made developed the fact that the
checkers were affecting the weights
on raw sugar by placing small bags of
lead on the beams of the scales, caus-
ing the recorded weights to drop be-
low the actual, often as much as 40
pounds on each draft. He said that
when Deputy Surveyor of Customs
Vail took office these devices were
abandoned and the use of the steel cor
set spring instead was begun and con-
tinued.

HAS PLAN TO BAR FRAUDS
System for Guidance of National
Bank Examiners.

Washington, d. C.-In furtherance
of his plans for obtaining a
more accurate insight into the condi-
tion of national banks, Controller of
Currency Murray has developed a
new system for the guidance of the
national bank examiners. There will
be established in the office of the con.
troller a credit bureau by which it
will be possible for him to keep tab
on the financial transactions, not
only of the officers and directors of
the banks themselves, but of all the
big borrowers of the country.
Under this system the controller
believes that should operations such
as those which landed c. w. Morse
in the Atlanta prison be tried 1t will
be found impossible. He has sent
out to every national bank examiner
series of forms upon which they
are required to make returns on
number of important matters never
heretofore required of them. The in
formation thus acquired will be held
in confidence from the public.

WHAT IS MATTER
WITH BUSINESS? :.
QUESTION is PUT TO CAPTAINS
OF INDUSTRY, BANKERS
AND MERCHANTS.
"NOTAING," DECLARE MANY men
DulIness In Trade Is Noted ky Others
and Assign Reasons Which
Has Caused lt-West
Blames the East.

New York City.-What, II any
thing, is the matter with business?
This question was put by correspon-
dents of the l. N. s. to captains of in
dustry, bankers and leading mer-
chants in centers of industry and
trade, and in their answers a major
ity of those interviewed admitted
that there is something the matter
with business. Many reasons are as
signed for the dullness, and in the
west there is disposition to place
the blame on the east, where the con-
dition is described as one of unrest"
Politics, too, much legislation, over
speculation in real estate, the high
cost of living, over-cautiousness as
result of the panic of 1907-OS and the
weather came in for their share of
the blame. On the other hand, there
were many manufacturers and bank
ers and merchants who find no cause
for worry and declare business good.
Jersey City, N. J.-Gen. William
G. Hoppenheimer, former treasurer
of New Jersey, president Of the
Trust Co. of New Jersey and sew
eral other trust companies, said:
There is too much interference with
business by politicians. The trouble
is that nobody knows what is going
to happen next Confidence is the
life of business and people have lost
confidence. The postponement of the
Standard Oil decision and similar
acts have affected business. l be-
lieve, however, that we are getting
ready for one of the biggest business
booms the country has ever known.
There has been too much radicalism
on the part of the Republican party"
Milwaukee, Wis.-"What is the
matter of business?" is question
only answered in Milwaukee by the
reply, Nothing" Manufacturers,
bankers and business men generally
say that this part of the country sees
no reason for worry in present con-
dition. President w. H. Whiteside of
the Allis Chalmers Co. will never be
quoted in the newspapers, but the
Allis Chalmers Co.'S report that there
is great volume of business being
received and that big corporation,
which employs over 5000 in its Mil
waukee plants, is rushed to it's ca
pacity. At the First National bank
it was stated that nearly every one
is satisfied with conditions.

Guilty on Charge of Accepting
Bribes-others to Follow.

Pittsburg, PA verdict of guilty
was returned here against DR.. F.
c. Blessing, president of city coun-
ellis, on the charge of accepting bribes.
The result of Blessings trial gave Dis.
trict Attorney Blakely hope that he
would be able to obtain convictions in
other cases, despite present methods
of drawing juries in Allegheny coun-
ty. Four men in the Western peniten-
tiary, as many more in the Allegheny
county Jail, one in the workhouse,
three others keeping outside prison
bars by appeals, and Doctor Blessing
convicted, is the total of what has
been accomplished so far in the pros
ecution of councilmanic grafters.
Forty-five others have pleaded guilty
and their sentences are in allegiance;
Al have denied the charges against
them and have yet to stand trial.

PUTS BLAME ON INSPECTORS
Coroner's Jury Says Broken Law
Was Responsible for Disaster In
Cherry, ILL.,, Mine.

Princeton, Ill.-The coroner's jury
which began last November to
investigate the cause of the
Cherry mine disaster which resulted
in the death of 265 miners in the St.
Paul Coal Co.'s mines has reached an
agreement and $50 separate verdicts
have been returned. The jury says
the mining laws were broken with
the knowledge and consent Of the
mine inspectors.
The verdict for each of the 1877
men who lost his life in the second
vein: 1--WE find that they came to
their death by suffocation and that
the fire was caused by pitched load
of baled hay coming in contact with
an oil torch. And we further find
that there was great delay in notify
ing the men of their danger"

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac-
teal experience, is to an Bnglishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless

countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.
