with the Wall street leaders was
stormy and Mr.. HeinZe was equal to
his foes in every proposition. He
finally capitulated to them, but only
for the price of s12,00O,000, which
Rogers concluded, so Mrs. French al
leges, was so costly as to be impu-
dent on the part of Heinze. So
wrought up was Rogers, says Mrs.
French, that he threatened to "get
even with that fresh young fellow
Butte"
The Standard Oil people can play
a waiting game when it is to their
advantage to do so. They did 1t in
this case, apparently waiting quietly
for five years. In the meantime, Mr..
Heinze had gone east. taken a hand
in the Wall street game, and Joined
forces with Charles w. Morse, who
had started as an ice man in Maine.
then down to New York, where he
cornered the ice business of the great
er city, had pocketed a large bunch
of banks, and at that time was re-
garded as the king of skyrocketing
fnanciers. Heinze and he united to
bring about a coup in copper which
was TO make them dictators of the
world so far as that much needed
metal was concerned.
Man From Butte Given Lesson.
The Standard Oil group got wind
of this plan, says Mrs. French, and
laid plans to teach the Butte man a
lesson, giving another to Mr.. Morse,
and at the same time reaping a few
millions of dollars for themselves.
Here is where the Titan haired
Circe came into the plot The Stand
ard people, says Mrs. French. had
been studying Mr.. Heinze, his life
and habits, for all of those years they
had been waiting. They hit rpon his
weak point and decided to play that
to the limit. Mrs. French's own words
describe best what happened.
The Standard Oil crowd" she
says, sent a beauteous, Titan haired
woman to the Waldorf to make his
acquaintance. She took rooms at the
hotel and engineered her job so we'll
she made him make all the advances.
He eventually, by making strenuous
efforts and using all his ingenuity, OBJ
tanned an introduction to her.

about it, This red haired beauty
pumped the whole story OF the pool
out of Heinze and took it in hot haste
to 26 Broadway, where they immedi-
ately began laying plans for fixing
that fresh young fellow from Butte
When Mr.. Morse turned tail and threw
his United Copper on the market the
Standard Oil folks knew every move
he was making and they helped along
in the good work. They smashed the
pool to pieces and made Heinze yell
for help. But Heinze knew it would
be futile to go to No. &c, and l don't
believe he ever asked for any assis-
tance. He just took his medicine and
kept still"
This was the time. says Mrs. French
that Heinze appealed to her to loan
him the bonds which she is seeking
to recover.
Morse In the Same Boat.
Mrs. French in her version of the
story, sticks closely to what happen
ed to F. Augustus HeinZe. She does
not mention the fact that Heinzes
partner in the pool, Morse, was caught
in the same fix as the Butte man when
their foes unloaded copper stocks on
them and caught them when they
not tell how Morse in his efforts to
save himself got his string of banks
involved in the affair and now many
of them went down one after the 9TH
er like a row of houses built out OF
cards; how ne was accused of misap-
prOpriating the funds of one of them
which happened to be a national
bank-fell into the clutches of the
Federal banking law and finally
wound up in the Federal prison.
But to return to the Titan haired
woman. Thomas W. Lawson was ask
ed what he knew of the affair and he
was more than willing to vOuch for
the facts of everything Mrs. French
had said concerning her. Further
Mr. Lawson said the feat of smashing
Heinze into a financial pulp was only
an ordinary feat for the woman. She
often has gone after and succeeded ir
bringing down much bigger game thar
the man from Butte.
Il am astOunded that the personal
ity of this Titan haired beauty never
has been brought into print before,
said Mr.. Lawson. "HeinZe is only one
of the men whose secrets she has beer
able to betray to Standard Oil. Time
after time she has been the moving
and only those who had babbled theil
stories to her knew how the magnate!
at % broadway were able to Circum
vent their carefully laid plans. Natur'
ally they didn't tell.
Il haven't heard a thing about thi:
woman for some time. 1 do not know
where she is now or anything abou

but don't care to tell what her name

II will say this. To indicate he
prOweSS. that she has not only betray
ed Heinze'S secrets to the % Broad
way crowd. but that another rival
fully as powerful, also was delivered
over To Standard oil with all his care
fully planned secrets, so that it wa
child's play to outwit him.
