ROCKEFELLER WAKES UP
IN TIME TO SAVE MONEY
Caught Mapping in Real Estate
Deal, but Wins First Point in
Effort to Turn Tables.

The filing of an appeal with the County
Clerk Of Westchester yesterday by Joseph
II. Oussani, Of Pocantico Hills, from the
decision of justice Keogh ordering him to
give q deed OF his property to the Catho-
10 Foreign Missionary Society. brings out
a story OF how John d. Rockefeller was
caught mapping and how he subsequently
woke UP.
On July IL the society entered into a
contract with Oussani for the purchase OF
his property at 345, 900. In some way the
news Of the proposed sale reached Mr..
Rockefeller, who was then In Cleveland.
Rockefeller did not look favorably upon
the idea of another institution near his
country seat, so he sent word to his
agents to buy the land. Overtures were
made by Nichols & Hobbie, real estate
agents. and It is said Oussani represented
to them that he had an offer OF $4,000
or more. AS they had orders to buy at
almost any price, they finally made a
deal with Oussani for the purchase OF
this property at $4,000.
Oussani paid the agents $4,000 COM
mission and Mr.. Rockefeller paid down
$4,000 to bind the bargain. Then the
missionaries stepped In. asserting that
they had contract to buy the land for
$4,000. When Mr.. Rockefeller heard
that his agents had paid $4,000 more
than the contract price to the mission
aries he realized that he had been caught
mapping.
It Ia said that he il with the mission
In its fight. for he can buy the land from
the organization at q fair profit The

Biggest Fraud in Years
Shumaker Out on Bail.

A further investigation OF the stock

assured Yesterday. 1t was declared as
probable by federal officials that new In

The sale Of the stock in the oxford

planned, was the clearest Of the cases they
struck in their search for evidence.

fraud, gave bail yesterday after having

washington. Dec. 1.-THE Postofiice De-
partment to-day made statement con-
corning the operations Of the Sterling De-
benture Corporation, whose Offices in New
York were raided yesterday and half
dozen men arrested. 1t says:
This corporation, which has been doing
business only since 1906, 1t is estimated
conservatively has sold approximately
81. 10000 Of the stocks of the various
companies represented. considerable OF
the stock sold by this corporation was OF
legitimate companies, but an enormous
amount of the stock sold the public was
of fake concerns whose stock was abso-
lutely worthless. The Investigations show
that the Sterling Debenture Company re"
tanned from 30 10 s. per cent OF the money
derived from the sale of the bogus stock
of such corporations as it's commission.
The business OF selling the stocks or
legitimate companies was not nearly so
profitable, the commissions amounting 10
only about 10 per cent.
During the last two years the raids
made on stock selling corporations
through the mails of the United States
have resulted in no less than loo indi-
viduals being caught In the net and IN
dicted 1t is conservatively estimated
that approximately slJ0,OO00O0 has been
flched from the American people by
these alleged fraudulent operators. Dur
ing this time many large institutions
have been put under the ban, such as the
United Wireless American Redemption
Company and the American Telegraph
and Typewriter Company. The operations
Of these concerns, although large. are not
TO be compared with the Sterling Debent-
ure Company.
Boston, Dec. H.-Charged with using
the mails in a scheme to defraud, Frank

ford Linen Mills. Of Brookneld, was held
in 5000 bonds for hearing on January
