SAY HE FLEECED MANY
Mortgage Loan Broker Held
Without Bail for Larceny.

Charged with obtaining money under
false pretences William Harvey, with an
Office at No. 50 Church street, and living
at Franklin, ~ j., was arraigned yester-
day before Magistrate Freschi, in the
Morrisania court and held without bail
for the grand jury. The specific charge
against Harvey is the larceny of $500 from
George K. Cummins, cereal merchant,
Of No. 50 Wall street
When Harvey was taken before the
magistrate there were four persons be-
sides Cummins who were ready to file a
complaint against him, and II is believed
that many other persons have fallen a
victim TO Harney's method OF obtaining
money His plan, 1t is said was TO insert
advertisements In the various newspapers,
representing himself to be a mortgage
loan broker and trustee for a vast estate.
Harvey would tell those who came to
borrow money that everything was all
right II the property they had was worth
the declared amount
To satisfy himself tho loan AGENT would
send his own appraiser to estimate the
value of the property, and the seeker Of
the loan would pay anywhere from SIS to
SEQ for his work. The title to the prop
erty would next have to be investigated,
and a lawyer said TO have been invariably
selected by Harvey would get fec of
800 or more Then a number Of obJec-
tons would be raised, until finally the
men who wanted the loan. after having
paid the appraisers and lawyers fees,
would quit in disgust.
Some of the other complainants who
appeared against Harvey were Edward
D. Steer, Of No. 500 West 18th street;
Arthur .. Granger. OF Gainesville, Ga;
Anna Jacques, of Ridgewood. n. j.: Her
man F. Laracher, of No. $40 Amsterdam
avenue. and Harry 4. Stone, of Prince
ton. n. j.
The appraiser mentioned by each of the
complainants was Herbert Il. Snyder. OF
No. 81 Liberty street. and the lawyers
who are alleged TO have investigated the
property are Joseph P. r. Van Damn. of
No. 800 Broadway, and Frank Baker, Of
No. lis Broadway.

Such a uniform system in equity

Mrs. Arnold told Mrs. Benzecry that,
Notwithstanding her bad condition. she
could be cured for so. and that che could
pay s. for the first treatment. Mrs. Ben
zccry did So Then she laid down a diet
for her patient, consisting of two meals

Mrs Arnold; lit is the air we breathe.

She showed Mrs. Benzecry with deep
hreaths lust how she inhaled fresh air in
her bathroom, and Mrs. Benzecry prom
Used TO do the same.
Ernest X. Coulter, counsel for Mrs.
Arnold, told Judge Malone yesterday that
he believed that, while she had violated
the law, her crime was purely technical,
az she ordinarily worked In conjunction
with a physician. The name Of Il physi-
clan appears on Mrs Arnold's sign. Mr..
Coulter said that he had letters from
numerous persons who had benefited at
Mrs. Arnold's hands Among them was
one written by the late Clara Barton,
head of the Red Cross, I'm May, 1911 Miss
Barton wrote: II earnestly believe un-
der heaven 1t is due to you that ! am

was another T. V. Powderly, for years
head of the knights OF Labor, was an
other. Mr.. Powderly, said Mr.. Coulter,
was formerly secretary OF a sanatorium
which Mrs. Arnold conducted In Wash
ington. There were fourteen letters from
Congressman.
Mr.. Coulter wished Mrs. Arnold SEN
fenced at once. apparently believing that
a fine would be the penalty. Judge Ma
lone refused to do that, saying that he
wanted a careful investigation made by
Robert +. Manley, the Assistant District
Attorney, and by the probation officer
before sentence was imposed. Judge Ma
lone gave permission for Mrs. Arnold 8

Mrs. Arnold is "chiropractor." To
quote the words Of her booklet again:
vertebre In their normal position Is the
work of the chirOpractor" A luxated
vertebra Is a dislocated vertebra, and
according to the booklet most human ills
from indigestion to appendicitis and
Brights disease are due to dislocated
vertebra.
Chiropractice, still according to the
booklet, consists in so massaging the
spinal column that the dislocated verte-
bra, which were pinching the nerves as
they emerged and so disarrangng the
functions of the body, resume their
normal condition, and the nerves,
unpinched. stimulate the organs to their
proper duties. According to the affidavit
of Mrs. Frances Benzecry, an investigator
for the County Medical Society, chiro-
practice consists largely in pressing the
fingers along the spinal column, asserting
that the resultant tngle is electricity
flowing from the fingers OF the chiro-
practor, and demanding s. therefor.

 Arrangements later

 The many friends of John Mcintosh were deeply grieyed yesterday to learn of his death for it was thought that the crisis was passed and that he might recover This hope was increas ed by the life which he had led and his exemplary habits combined with the. robust health he had enjoyed preyi- ous to his Illness. for he was stout ruddy checked and a picture of good health and fine physique. He had been seriously i'll for a week and at one time 1t was known his life was despaired of Then some hope was given but 1t proved a vain one.
 John c. Mcintosh came to this city about three years ago and purchased the city blacksmith shop of which he was proprietor at the time of his last illness. He was in the same business in the smelter city before coming here and was a member of the Elks and Knights of Pythias and in this city joined the Moose. His lodge associa- tions and his genial manner quickly won him friends here and the fact that he was an ardent and enthusiastic fan added to his popularity. Both last year and this year he was active in base ball affairs and he was one of the directors of the Tri-Town league.
 The casket containing all that was mortal of the deceased was escorted to the train last evening by delegations from the Elks, K. P. and Moose lodges and w. R. Graves of the Elks accom- panied the body to Douglas. An effort will be made to secure a special train to and from Douglas for the funeral which will be held Sunday afternoon
