Wheeler and Shaw Before
Commissioner at Boston.
Alleged Illegal Use Of Mails
In FIOtaiiOn OF Rubber Co.
Is Declared That Profits Held Out
Could Not Be Made Good.

Boston June 9.-On charge OF
using the mails in a scheme to de-
fraud, Warren z. Wheeler and Still
man Shaw, who surrendered to the
government April after warrants had
been issued for their arrest in connee-
ton with the fiotation of the North
America Rubber Company, appeared
today before United States Commits
soner Hayes at a continued hearing.
l.. r. Armsted who purchased 10
shares of stock at $3.50 per share, was
the first witness. He testified that he
received two letters from Wheeler &
Shaw, Incorporated.
one of the letters dated June 3,
1910, stated that after July 8 the stock
would go up to $40 share. The
fiourishing condition of the company
was also commented on.
The alleged fraud, the government
contends, consisted in representations
to stockholders that the company was
getting 81 a pound for its product,
when by reason of a secret contract
permitting a rebate of 40 cents a
pound, it was receiving only 90 cents
a pound, which would not permit of
the profits held out by the company.
The secret contract and the widely
advertised dollar a pound contract
were offered in evidence by the gov
eminent. Both were executed by War
rem b. Wheeler, president of the rub
Der company and Thomas A. Forsyth.
president of the Boston Betting Com
pany, Raleigh B. Adams. an employee
of the latter company identified them
as witness to the signature of Presi-
dent Forsyth.
The case was continued to June %
when Attorney Walter |. Badger In
formed the court that Forsyth would
attend as witness, having been call
ed west on pressing business.

that the results obtained are perma-

complete success.

Paris. June 9.-The French govern

time When France. having attained
the relief of Fee. intends to withdraw
her troops after re-organizing the
Sultan's army and having accomplish
ed the pacitication of the country.
Spain seemingly is determined to
extend her zone in Morocco. which
is now limited to Melilla and Ceuta
and their environs.
M. @. Godfrey, the French acnbas-

the Spanish government the untime-

the maintenance of Moroccan unity
since some power might declare that
Morocco was being dsmem hered ard
so the powers were no longer bound
by the Algeciras agreement, but each
was free tc act according to its own

The power naturally in mind which
might make such representations is

was reported as being sent to France
calling attention to the limitations of
the Algeeiras agreement, apparently
has not been received here.
