Vouches For Story OF Mrs. French
That Innermost Financial Secrets
Were Obtained From Copper Mag
nate and Used to Reduce Him From
Napoleon of Finance to a Mere
Haneer-On In Stock Market
Boston, Aug. 29.-The amazing
disclosures of Mrs. Lillian H. French
concerning the financial deals and re-
cent Waterloo of F. A. Heinze, the
copper magnate, which have caused
a decided furry in the financial world !,
were youched for as correct by Thorn
as w. Lawson last night.
Mr.. Lawson, who had been men
toned by Mrs French as a partici-
pant in the secret meetings which set
tied the great Amalgamated-H einZe
copper war, declares that Mrs. French
is quite correct in her statements, and
he wonders where she accumulated
all her facts. She makes public for
the first time that Heinze was paid
$12, 900, 900 to settle the fight
More -tartling than Mrs. French S
statements concerning the copper war
is the one she made yesterday to the
effect that Heinze's financial downfall
was due to a certain very beautiful
young woman who obtained from him
his innermost financial secrets and
used them in the interest of Standard
Oil to club Heinze into several kinds
of financial pulp, and left him won
dering what hit him In fact he was
SO seriously clouted that Mrs. French S
jewels were used to tide him over.
When Mrs. French made her latest
statement it was believed that she was
romancing a bit. Lawson declares it
is quite correct and, furthermore. he
says that this accomplishment of the
beautiful ernploye of Standard Oil is
quite an ordinary feat for her.
And Lawson says that the job which
this young woman did in reducing
Heinze from the proud position of a
Napoleon CT finance to mere hanger
on can be duplicated many times over
| IN her career.
The most remarkable woman in
America" Lawson calls her, but he's
gallant enough not to give her name,
not because he loves Standard Oil,
! but he hesitates to cause the young
woman any trouble.
According to Lawson the woman
! with the red hair not only played with
Heinze and put him into the grasp Of
! the Standard Oil crowd, but also with
another powerful rival who had planned
! to make coup that should overthrow
! Rogers and other Standard leaders
! and whose schemes were blocked eff
fectively at 26 Broadway to the be-
wilderment of the fnancier.
But it was not only rival financiers
whose careers toward afiiuence were
rudely checked, but the making of {
United States senator and the hush
ing up of an International scandal il
which the island of a powerful poWe
was concerned were feats accom-
plished by the woman whose name ha
not been made public.
81 am astonished that the personal
ity of this so-called Titan hairet
beauty has never been brought int
print before. said Lawson last night
'Heinze is only one of the me-
whose secrets she has been able t
betray to Standard Oil. Time afte
time she has been the moving spiri
beneath many Standard Oil coup
and only those who had babbled thei
stories to her knew how the magnate
at g Broadway were able to circum
vent their carefully-laid plans. Nat
urally they didn't tell.
Il haven't heard anything about thi
woman for some time. do not lnoy
where she is now Nor anything abou
her. In fact, do not know her my
self, but know enough about her t
have caused me many times to won
der how she had possibly evaded tn
limelight of print so long"
