New York, April 6: For lavish
stage setting, workmanlike execution
and ample financing, the story OF rae
ing swindle as told the police tonlghl
nv Henry Wagner, senior member OF
firm of billiard table manufacturers
has no equal in the annals OF the Ne"
York detective bureau. To obtain Sl0,-
600 the confidence men entrusted thelr
dupe with $106,000 in cash, hired prl-
vate car from Baltimore TO Jackson
VILE. Fla. and impersonated success
fully a party of millionaires, one Vi
whom was H. H. Rogers, Jrr, son VI
the late vice president of the Stanuaro
Oil company. The story came out TO-
night with the arrest of man VINO
gave his name as John Brown, 6S years
of age, and described himself as
broker and speculator, but who the po-
lice say is George G. Rockwell, allas
George C. Hammand, alias Old Joe Ea-
ton. an old notorious confidence man.
Late last month Wagner met man
representing himself to be Alfred San
ford, private secretary to PennsylVa-
MIA millionaire, with money to spend on
coal lands. Would Wagner take an
option of 1000 acres at 81 an acre!
He could sell at huge profit. Inc
secretary lacked funds to finance the
deal himself, but if it went through ne
asked only % per cent for his tip. A
trip to Baltimore followed, where en-
tered the "millionaires," including III.
II. Rogers, Jr," Col Moffet,' of Colo
RADIO, one Palmer and one Marshall.
From Baltimore, the entire party jour-
neyed to Jacksonville by private car

the race track there was heavy betting

was not asked to join. Instead, MS
confidence was smoothed by his being
made stakeholder until at one time ne
held slO6,OOO. His draft for $4,000 was
obligingly cashed, and he SenerouSl!
loaned the money to one in the crowd
TO fill out a $4,000 bet. Then came the
getaway. Wagner said tonight that
Brown, arrested this afternoon, took
the part of Moffet. When searched by
the police $2,07l in bills was found
strapped around Browns waist.
"A sweeping anti-option bill, the
product of exhaustive investigation by
the house committee on agriculture ana
three weeks executive deliberation by a
sub-committe, restricting the operation
of the proposed legislation to cotton
instead of applying to all farm prod
ucts, was introduced in the house last
Wednesday. The new bill follows sub
stantially the lines of the old Scott blll'
the principal change is the elimination
of application to the grain exchanges
This change" said Chairman Scott,
was made partly because the commit
tee reached the conclusion that there
are fewer abuses on the grain and pro
duce exchanges than on the cotton en-
changes, but chiefly because practical
ly all the cotton producers. and a very
large proportion of the cotton SpinnerS
and merchants, have united in de-
