MILLIONS SENT TO
MEN NOW IN JAIL.
Post Office Inspectors Make Pris-
oners of International Lumber
and Investment Company
Promoters.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 20. -
Following the arrest of four men
in this city and of two in Chicago
James B Cortelyou, chief post Of
flee inspector for this district, de-
clared the government has brought
to an end swindling scheme that
has cost small investors and spec
ulators in the United States at
least $6s500,000, The men under
arrest are officers of the Interna-
tional Lumber and Investment Co,
a corporation holding a tract or
land in Mexico which, according
to the promoters, would make all
the stockholders wealthy within
few years.
John r. Markley and Isaac B.
Miller, contractors. were arrested
/ in Chicago, and after an immediate
hearing were held in $40, 900 bal
each to await grand jury action
The men under arrest here are G
! NJ. Mcmahon, secretary and treas
urer of the company; Colonel A
G.. Stewart, member of the boart
of directors; an attorney who serv
ed as counsel 70 rthe corporation
and William H, Armstrong, Jr.
| general manager of the company
They were arraigned before Com
missioner Craig and each was held
in $4,000 bail for grand jury ac-
ton. Besides these men indict-
ments were found against William

out of the country.

is out Oh dHp tOuHtiy.
Inspector Cortelyou said the cor
poration actually owned $4,000
acres of land in Mexico. The only
bad feature of the scheme accord
ing to the testimony of Cortelyou,
is that the corporation was run
for the benefit of the officers, just
as If there were no stockholders.
The stockholders received a dlyi-
dend occasionally, but these divi-
dends, he testified, were paid from
stock subscriptions.
The arrests, Cortelyou declared,
will notify about fifteen thousand
small investors and spectators the
worth of their investments is I'M
certain.
The International Lumber and
Development company on Febru-
airy % last became involved in
proceedings started by stockhold-
ers, who asked for the appoint
ment of a receiver on the ground
that the company was being mis-
managed. This started an invest
lSdllOu ny The poot tALtSS uSPs'A :
ment. It was charged that Mark
ley & Miller purchased 2SS,00o
acres of inaccessible land for $780,
600, formed the international Lum-
Der and Development company and
resold the land to the corporation
for 100000. 1t is charged that
in advertising matter it was said
the ><ompany's officers would re-
fuse to accept any remuneration.
Items on the corporations books
indicate some person got at least
100000 for salary, expenses and
fees. The concern had offices in
the Drexel building. 1t was nee
essary to make as many as twenty
trips day to the post office to
empty large mail drawer. The
money came in so fast that in two
years the corporation actually paid
s1,500,000 to stockholders, the
money coming from new subscrip-
tions, it is alleged.
Another charge is that Markley
& Miller received a $5,000,000 con-
tract to develop the company
land. Even this contract, it is
alleged, failed to absorb the money
showered into the concerns treas
ury. Then, according to testimony
supplemental contract was made
by which Markley & Miller were
to get $3.50 an acre for every acre
of the 2SS,000 they cleared, plant
ed and developed. The first con-
tract was simply for develop
ment," but the second called for
not only cutting the lumber but
| for planting and future develop
ment.
The stockholders also charged
that Markley, Miller and other of
ficers of the corporation collected
100000 for which they failed
to account.
The authorized capital of thu
company which has Delaware
charter, is 100000, and the OF
ficers are William H. Armstrong
president; Alfred Gratz, vice pres
| ident; Charles Mcmahon, secreta
: ry and treasurer. The director
are H. A. Merrill, w w. Pussy
I'd; A. G. Stewart, John S. Barnes
