MAY Be VICTIMS OF
CONFIDENCE MAN

From information received with.
in the last few days it appe ars
that several members of the
French colony in Ely have been
victimized out Of sums ranging
from 500 to $1,000 By the plaus.
ible stories of pair of alleged
confidence men.
A middle-aged Frenchman of
good appearance giving his name
as 0. Fagnon and his residence as
Montreal. arrived in Ely some
weeks ago in company with a
younger man whom he introduced
as Professor Cyriac Derry, his
private secretary.
Fagnon made friends with the
members of the French colony in
this city and stated to them conf :
dentially that he was the heir to an
estate valued at $50, 500, 600.
situated in Mexico. Search for
the estate and proving the title
would involve the expenditure of
q considerable sum Of money and
to the friends who would assist
him In the matter, he would
guarantee return of ten dollars
for one.
So plausible were the stories of
the gifted M. Fagnon and 80
strong were the documentary
proofs submitted by him that
various local people agreed to put
up the money to assist in the
search.
Fagnon and his associate left for
the coast about two weeks ago,
since which time IL has been
learned that he and his partner
bear a strong resemblance to a
pair Of slick swindlers who have
been operating in British Columbia
and the northwest. Receipts were
issued for the money which was
paid by the local people and so
cleverly was the whole affair
managed that II is doubtful IL the
victims can obtain legal redress
without much trouble and expen, e.
even II the men we're spprehended,
which at present seems improbable.

where JOHN 0. S
WEALTH REPOsEs

Under the northeast corner Of
the New York Produce Exchange
reposes the bulk Of the collateral
wealth Of the richest man in the
world-John D. Rockefeller. In
a specially constructed bombroof,
burglar proof and fireproof vault
under the structure had be en-
stored upward of $500, 900. 900
worth Of securities, the personal
property Of Mr.. Rockefeller.
Of course John D. does not
put all his eggs in one basket. His
mortgages are reported to be lodged
in the vaults under the Rockefeller
building in Cleveland, O., and
there are score of banks and
trust companies throughout the
country which carry large
balances in his name. Besides,
John D. has other hiding places in
the downtown section of Manhat-
tan for United States bonds and
various securities put up with him
for short term loans.
But his principal eggs are in the
iron nest under the New York Pro-
duce Exchange. where scissors clip
merrily for him en- the big coupon
days.
Between the street outside and
the repositories Of the Rocker
Teller securities are ten locks
varied in character. The first is
the bolt in the outside door at the
sidewalk level. The second Is the
bolt in the door opening from the
foot Of the stairs into the public
entrance of the safe deposit COM
pany.
Once in front of the iron vault,
which is the largest of its kind in
the world devoted to containing
the properties of single person,
there is presented to view a cage
not at all unlike the one in which
the famous Captain Drefus was
confined at DEVILS island.
Eight locks still confront you.
The first of these is turned in the
door opening through the grille d
cage surrounding the door of the
vault proper.
There now remains seven loo ks
in the John d. series. Two of
these are padlocks. one upon each
Of the two combination locks vii.
BILE from the exterior of the closed
door. Of the vault. Each has q
different combination to unlock.
There are six tumblers on each
lock. The numbers run from to
100, which makes each lock
susceptible to 100000 changes.
1t ia impossible for anybody to
pick these combination locks.
The door Of the vault Is moved
by hand. and 1t opens easily owing
to Its swinging upon a compound
double goose crane hinge, which is
carefully balanced on ball and
roller bearings made of the finest
hardened tool steel. This permits
the door to swing lightly, although
IT has the weight Of Zine tons.
The interior Of the vault is
nine feet wide. nine feet high and
fifteen feet deep. The wall Of the
vault has a thickness of forty
inches. In the center of thirty six
inches Of concrete are ninety pound
steel rails set six inches apart in
double rows, interlocked so as to
be practically three inhces apart.
The remaining four inches of the
wall are four one-inch thickness
Of solid steel.
Looking toward the open door
toward the interior Of the vault
there are arranged upon either
side numerous compartments or
