The house detective notified the police
Of the presence of the man in New York
and a trap was laid for him. Mr.. Yoder
was to take dinner with him so that the
police might arrest the confidence man.
According to Mr.. Yoder decided to call
off the coal deal and returned to Pitts
burgh. His companion said that he was
going to Cleveland and would commun-
icate with Mr.. Yoder as soon as the deal
could be brought to head
According to the New York police

The LOT SALE LAST SATURDAY,
About Forty Lots Disposed of by
Local Firm -AerOpIane Flight.

The widely advertised sale of High.
land Park lots came off last Saturday
morning and afternoon when the local
tlrm OF real estate men, Messrs. Mat
thews & West, sold at public auction
about forty of the most desirable unim-
proved building lots that can be had,
the proceeds of the sale amounting to
about $1,000. Among those who bought
largely at the sale where Messrs. W.
r. Stull, of Anderson, Pa, Walton
Miller, of Fairmont, W. Va, and d. E.
Otfutt. Jr, of Oakland.
In the morning the attendance at the
sale was not large, but in the afternoon
the crowd was estimated at seven hun
dred or more.
The Mountain City Band of Oakland
was on duty nearly the entire day and
rendered some very excellent music.
The feature of the afternoon was the
areoplane flight made by Mr.. VIM.
Hemstrought, of New York.
About five O'Clock the navigator made
an unsuccessful attempt to fly in which
his machine was more or less wrecked.
Repairs were made, however, and at
about $50 the machine rose from the
ground like bird and circled over Noun
tain Lake Park and Oakland two or three
times, the descent being made more
graceful than the ascent. To Messrs.
Gender Bros, who financed the affair
and were wholly responsible for the
appearance here of the aviator, the
thanks of those who never before wit
messed the like, are due.

CRAFT INVESTIGATION
IN NEW YORK BRINGS IN
NAME OF PARK RESIDENT
He Is Alleged to Have Been Victim.
ICED Out of $4,000 by Tap
ping Game.

The investigation in New York into
the official conduct of Police Lieut.. John
Becker, who is under arrest in connect
ion with the Rosenthal murder, yester-
day revealed the attempt of confidence
man, who is said to have nationwide
reputation, to swindel L. 7. Yoder,
proprietor of the Mt Lake Hotel, out
of so, 600 by the time-worn wire tapping
game.
Whether or not the game was sue
cessful is question. Mr.. Yoder. over
the long distance telephone from his
summer home in Mountain Lake Park,
last night declared to a Pittsburgh paper
that it was not. He admitted, however,
that the attempt had been made and
said that he had been warned before he
had put up any real money.
Deceive William j. Kenny, who is
connected with the office of Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty in New
York was in Pittsburg Yesterday looking
for Mr.. Yoder so that he might get a
better description of the man who,
Kenny said, had taken Mr.. Yoder' So
600. The detective left for Mountain
Lake. Kenny said that the matter had
been reported to the New York police
and had passed through the hands of
Lieut. John Becker, who is now under
investigation and that Becker, although
he had seen the man with Mr.. Yoder
several times, had failed to make an

arrest. Kenny said Mr. Yoder gave
the swindler a check for $4,000 and
it was cashed by the confidence man.
Mr. Yoder told his friends that he had
stopped payment Of the check in time,
and was not out Of pocket.
The plans for the swindle We're laid
cleverlv Mr.. Yoder is the owner of
large coal lands IN the southern part of
the state. During the first week in July
he received a letter from a man in New
York who said that he had purchaser
for the Goa! lands. He advised Mr. Yoder
to come to New Y ork and talk the matter
over. After a few more letters had
passed between the men Mr.. Yoder left
for New York to meet the supposed
purchaser of the coal lands. They We're
said to be brother and sister, who had
recently inherited a large sum of money
and were anxious to invest it to the best
advantage.
On the first trip to New York the
brother and sister failed to appear and
Mr.. Yoder returned toIPittsburg. Sew
eral days later he received telegram
which told him to hurry to New York
as the deal was about to be closed. This
time he met the supposed purchaser in
the Murray Hill Hotel. 1t was explained
that the sister was delayed in getting to
New York, but would be along in few
days. Mr.. Yoder was invited to be the
guest of the men while waiting for the
sister.
Mr.. Yoder was taken out to see New
York. 1t was then that the subject of
horse racing was preached. The man
who was to act as the middleman in the
coal deal told Mr.. Yoder that he had
friend who could obtain advance infor-
nation on race being run that day.
He also explained that if they could get
enough money together they could clean
up 80, 900. According toMr. Yoder this
conversation took place in the lobby of
the Murray Hill Hotel. Then, according
to Mr.. YOder he was approached by the
house detective of the hotel, who warn

''THERE HAINT NO SUCH AN ANIMAL

The editor Of the Rochester IN. H.) Courier has
eucidated He has described Taft Progressive
form Of life of which he is very fond and which
as previously quoted in The Times he says is the
only sort of candidate that can be elected governor
Of the Granite State this fall. l..
According to the specifications printed in his
communication in another column the name Taft
Progressive" seems to be bad case of misbranding
The goods don't tally with the label.
He says Taft Progressive" has no personal
ambitions, is not office-seeker, has broad views
bn no personal spite, does not know anything oi
prize ring lingo, and is red hot for universal peace
Mr.. Taft has personal ambitions and would steal
national convention to crafty them. He is ar
office-seeker albeit without hope. His views as
evidenced by his Administration no broader thar
his nose; and his personal spite is only hampered
by his courage. He may not know tie lingo of the
prize ring, but his seconds know its methods Tc
his credit he is for peace, but the hungry public
cares more for pease than peace, and more for the
output of the nearby factory than documents from ths
faraway Hague.
We suspect the reason the world at large is no
acquainted with the Taft Progressive" is because
there haint no such an animal"

WONDERS OF SANITARY ACHIEVEMENT

Panama. once the plague-spot of the world to-
day claims the lowest mortality rate. Yellow fever,
that has claimed its tens of thousands the Ishmus
is unknown there.
Havana has been made one Of the healthiest
cities of the tropics, and Manila is regarded we'll
nigh proof against cholera and yellow fever once
its dreaded scourges.
American sanitary science and system have done
these things.
San Francisco dreaded the bubonc plague,
which comes with rats, and is communicated to man
by heas. Now the new San Francisco has been
built substantially rat-proof; therefore plagueproof.
Sanitary science knows 10 superstition. Instead
of bowing before the wrath of God, it puts kerosene
on the pools, builds houses of cement so that rats
cannot get into them, constructs sewerage systems
fumigates the town, and forces the unwilling
to be clean.
Just now, matchless sanitary machinery is
at work to shut the plague out of this country. 1t
will at length succeed, nd the horrors of this
scourge will presently be a memory, as are those
of cholera, yellow fever, and other diseases that in
darker ages have taken their millions in the toll of
human life

NATURAL PEEVISHNESS.

A number of the Tory papers of the country are
very much exercised because the fashionable hotels in
Chicago are not filling up this far in advance 1.-TWO
weeks) of the progressive convention with leaders"
of the third party and also because real money is to
be charged those who wish to visit the convention as
spectators.
Both of these perturbations are natural with the
Tory press, which is accustomed to thinking in
grooves cut by the old way of doing things.
1t is mystfyng to such papers how any national
political convention can assemble and conduct busi-
unless of the representatives of Big Bust
ness act as an advance guard, meet on the ground,
lay the plans, frame the whole proceedings, and fix
everything that all that is left for the peoples
representatives is to meekly ratify the cuand dried
program.
However, there is no necessity for the progress
sive convention to be preceded by Steam Roller
to crush out popular opposition There are no dele
gates to be stolen. There is no need for a for
gathering of bosses. There is no bosses to for.
gather.
The charging of an admission fee to the galleries
is another radical departure from the Steam Roller
methods. Why the galleries should be thrown oper
to the public who have enough interest in the pro-
ceedngs pay to them is beyond the ken of the
Tory press. Instead of letting any come who wish
10 witness the deliberations as spectators it has beer
the custom of the Steam Roller pack the galleries
with hired rooers who paid for their admission not il
money but in forced applause and manufactured
demonstrations laudatory of the machine tactics anc
the bosses.
That the example of Col. Harry New, who hell
out 800 tickets in order to pack the galleries witt
claquers at the recent Republican convention, vii
not be emuated by the progressive convention jus
naturally gives the Tory press conniPtion fits. II
