GET-RICH-QU|Ck
INGENIOUS SCHEME
BEING SUCCESSFULLY WORKED
IN SOME OF THE PACIFIC
COAST STATES.

Washington, June S.-A get-rich-
quick scheme which rivals some of the
swindles of recent years for its in
genuity, is being successfully operated
in some of the Pacific coast states. Its
trail is said to reach as far east as
New York. Secret service men are
working on it.
Prospective victims are told that
the United States government is short
of money and that to avert a panic,
the treasury is quietly floating an i'm
mense issue of national bank notes.
1t is represented that a company of
New York tinanciers have undertaken
to underwrite the issue, which is Of
fered to victims on the basis of so
percent. Secret service men say the
swindlers usually exhibit a genuine So
bank note as sample of the issue.
Several citizens of Seattle, Wash,
are reported to have paid in sums
ranging from $500 to $1,000 with the
expectation of receiving double that
sum in genuine national bank notes
before next winter.
Secret service men have found gath.
ering of evidence difficult, as the vic.
tim is first initiated into a supposed
secret order and sworn to secrecy.

Bryan suburban home, before a COM
pany of nearly hundred relatives and
friends of the family. The ceremony
was attended by several hundred Lin

vorites.

SHOT BY Girl
STOKES WILL RECOVER FROM
THE WOUNDS INFLICTED BY
TWO GIRLS.

New York June 8.-The condition
of w. E. ID. Stokes, the millionaire
proprietor of the Hotel Ansonia and
widely known horseman, who was shot
last night by two young women in
their apartment, was such this morn
ing that his physicians say he will
likely recover. The young women,
Lillian Graham, an actress, and Ethel
Conrad, an illustrator, formally charg-
ed with the shooting, were taken to
police headquarters this morning on
the verge of collapse. Three Japan.
csc servants in the apartment house
in West Thirty-eighth street, where
Stokes was shot, are held as wit.
nesses. Miss Graham and Miss Con.
rad will be arraigned in court later
and held to await the result of Mr..
Stokes injuries. A further examina-
ton will be made to ascertain wheth-
er the two bullets still remain in
Stokes ankle and thigh. Terrence j.
McManus, Mr.. Stokes attorney, says
that his client went to the girls apart
ment on receiving a message from
Miss Conrad, to obtain some letters.
Stokes denies that he had ever writ
ten any letters, and when he reached
the apartment, his counsel says, the
door was locked behind him and Miss
Graham immediately drew a revolver,
and, pointing to pad on desk, at
one side. she said: "Give me 1926, 900
and sign this agreement"
Mr.. McManus says that Stokes re-
fused and that "thereupon Miss Ora
ham fired two shots at him"
Stokes got the revolver away from
Miss Graham, who then, according to
Mr.. McManus, called on Miss Conrad
to fire. Miss Conrad, Stokes lawyer
says, then fired, and as the million
aire backed into the hallway three
| Japanese servants set on him.
Miss Graham, in statement, says
that Stokes came to her apartments
and demanded letters which he admit
ted writing. When told that she had
no letters, Miss Graham alleges that
Stokes turned on me in a perfect
fury and caught me by the throat and
began to choke me-"
Miss Graham then alleges that, fear
ing violence at Stokes hands, she shot
at him, whereupon Stokes wrenched
the pistol from her and shot at her
Miss Graham says nothing about the
charge made by Stokes counsel that
| Miss Conrad fired a shot
