 with FIagg'S Fraud
HE AND SIX OTHERS
 WENT TO THE T0MBS
P, 0, Inspectors Find Evidence of a Concern which Had Been Promising Fab
 ulOuS Dividends

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-In raid on the stock investment offices of Jared Flagg, on West Fourteenth street to.
 day, Flagg and seven men were ar. rested on charge of fraudulently using the mails in endless chain schemes to defraud investors. Among the prisoners is former United States Treasurer Daniel N. Morgan of Bridgeport, Conn; James K. Schock. said to have been a pastor of the Dutch Reformed church; F. Tenny- son Nicely, formerly publisher on Fifth avenue; Joshua Brown and Har- old Jackson, brokers: Alvin NJ. Hig- gins, a lawyer and Edward L. Schil- Ter.
 The prisoners were arrigned and pleaded not guilty. The bail of Flagg was fixed at s25.0OO, and various amounts for the others. All will be given a hearing on Wednesday. As sistant District Attorney Smith asked for high bail, as he said he understood that Flagg had s1.000.000.
 Pestofiice Inspector Kincaid. who made the complaint, said that thou sands of investors in Flagg's enter prises had put in about Sl.5O0, 900 in his schemes. Flagg. it is charged, had claimed that he would invest their money in gilt edged securities which paid temporarily big dividends. The inspectors reported that Morgan was interested in the schemes to the ex- tent of $20O.000 Late tonight no bail had been secured for any of the pris- oners and all were locked up in the Tombs.
 When asked if he had promised 52 per cent year on investments, f1agg responded. as he produced some of his contracts: T guaranteed no per centage on investments handled by me. There is a copy of the contracts the customers signed with me. It is open and above board, and refutes the charge that l guaranteed fabulous interest l can pay every dollar owe. l have handled S1,lOO,00O in the three years l have been in busi- ness and can account for every penny of it, and for every transaction. have nothing to fear.
 Former Treasurer Morgan, a white haired man well along in years, of dignified bearing, was greatly pertub- ed by his arrest. This Is an outrage" he said Tt is the first time in my life l have ever been restrained of my liberty for a single moment. So far as I know. Flagg is not guilty of one dishonest act. Of the money l invested with him I have received dividends promptly, I never lost a penny l am satisfied that the busi- ness Flagg conducted was absolutely honest"

GENERAL WAS M|SQUOTED
 BY INTERVIEWER
Did not Say that the Steel Trust Was in Violation
 of Law
WANTS TO JAIL NOBODY.

BRENTWOOD. N. J.. Sept. 23.-At- torney General Wickersham today re- piled to a statement purported to have been made by him regarding the sta tus of the T. s. Steel corporation and other allied trusts. and the attitude of the government toward them, pub lished in a New York morning paper this morning
 The purpOrted interview" said Mir Wickersham. is a summary of two conversations, which was neither un- derstood nor intended for publica- tion. The report contains some inac- curacies. For instance, did not state that the U. s. Steel combination was in violation of the law, nor did I state that the men under indictment in the beef cases in Chicago would go to prison if had my way. In the main, however, the interview represents the views expressed by me in the conver- sations rferred to-
 The president has stated that the supreme court has decided what the law is. Now business Aas got to square itself with the law. It is not the intention of the department of justice to bring indiscriminate prose cutions, nor is 1t the intention to bring criminal proceedings except where the evidence indicates a wilful and deliberate violation of the law, and the suppression of competitive conditions by oppressive, unfair and H. legal methods.
 Tt is hoped that the combinations which are engaged in an illegal re- stralnt of interstate commerce will recognize and establish competitive without awaiting prosecu- ton. The government would very much prefer such voluntary action to the necessity of legal prosecution"

PRICE OF PAPER
 IS GOING HIGHER
 MANUFACTURERS
Taking advantage of the Situ- alton Left by Defeat of
 Reciprocity
SAVED, SAY, FROM RUIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Proposed in. creases in the price of white, print, and other grades of paper were dis eussed and virtually agreed upon here today. at a private meeting of the middle western independent paper manufacturers. One manufacturer who attended the meeting, but de- clined to permit the use of his name. said: "The defeat of the reciprocity treaty between Canada and the Unit ed States will stimulate the manu- facture of paper in this country, whereas if the treaty had been rati. fed, the Canadian paper makers would literally have wiped us out. As it now stands, the Canadians can compete with us, even with the ex. isting tarif rates. The battle has been fought and lost, and prices may now be considered firm, with chances of going higher. Prices have been too low. and it Is time for a reaction, and a steady market"

the back of the head in which they
carry their tobacco. Their bodies are SO
very brown. When ycu finally

feel that you would rather have
clean brown skin than filthy smuty

From the coast we went to the home
of Governor and Mrs. Dalrymple and
stayed there over night. He is the
governor of the sub-province.
On the morning of June we started
up The trail on our ponies just at day
break and such country you never
saw. We stayed two nights on the
trail. One night we slept on the floor
in a native house which was nice and
clean. The floor was Of bamboo SO there
was quite a. little give to it. AS we got
farther into the mountains it got very
cool and the mountain sides in places
were white with Easter lilies. We ar
rived here on the evening of our fourth
wadding anniversary. We are now
staying with DR.. and Mrs. Johnson in
their pretty home.
Our furniture is coming now and
soon we will have our rooms settled in
the school house. The foundation for
our new house is finished and the wood
work will begin very soon. Everyone
up here is so charming and we like it
very much so far.
The little children are so cunning
and you would love to hear them
recite their catechism, they put our
home children to shame.
1t is nearly time for lunch so must
close for this time. It is so cool up
here. You might like little of it now.

from her daughter, Mrs. Robert L.
Nc Cutchen, dated at the Mission of
st. Mary the Virgin, Sagada, Mountain
Province, Philippine Islands. 1t reads
as follows.
Wen, here we are in Sagada,
at last and | have never seen a more
lovely spot. The mountains stand
around US like huge Cathederals. AT
times the clouds are down around us
and just think, we are 5000 feet above
the sea.
The trip up here was lovely we
left Manila at 80 on the morning OF
June and arrived at Dagepan at 80
in the afternoon. On leaving the train
we made mad rush for the boat, or
rather launch, for we had 10 get out OF
the harbor before the tide went out or
be stuck on the bar. We got over safely
enough and started up the coast. We
got into a little squaIl and the sea was
rather rough but arrived at Lagudin at
1:3O that night. Lagudin has no harbOr
and is right on the open coast so they
cannot land. This little launch was no
larger than the old Messenger launch
at the lake. They footed their whistle
and made as much disturbance as
possible and finally we saw lights on
the shore. All this time we were first
on top of one big wave and then In the
trough of another. Finally long slim
; at as long, as from the old house to
the alley, came alongside AMI what a
time we had getting into it in all this
sea. There were about sixteen men
rowing it. Well we started for shore
and as we got nearer the land the SURF
begs to break over us. Finally when
we came as near as we could get two
men carried me to shore. shall neve
forget how dark it was.
Senior Masferre from the mission
met us. He had with him twelve
