And Negotiated Swindles
BY Wholesale.
Ne MADE FULLY 100000
From His Nefari0uS Business
Seemed To Know Just
Who Touch"
TALKING MADE HIM MILLIONS

Christopher J. Tracy, known from
the Atlantic to the Pacific as the
king of fake wire-tappers," died in
the Polytechnic Hospital Thursday
night of dropsy. Few knew of the
fact until yesterday. Last night the
body was taken to Toronto, Canada,
for burial.
Services were held yesterday af-
ternoon in the Tracy home, No. la
West One Hundred and Ninth street,
and were attended by scores of ac-
quaintances who had known him
when he made enormous sums sepa-
rating out-of-town "come-ons" from
with flowers.
Tracy came of good family. bnt
after obtaining an education hc de-
cided to follow the path of least re-
sistance leading 20 wealth. He con
ceived the fake overlapping swim
die, and, though he had many imi-
tators, he had no superior. He fra
ternizel with Doc Owens, Big
Lawson, now in Australia; Jerome
Mckay, the Condor brothe"s and
Larry Summerfield. 1t is said he
made $4,000, 900 in his time.
The biggest of Tracy's swindles
was carried out little over 10
years ago. John Felix. maker of
musical instruments, liked to bet
and was picked out as the prospec-
tive victim.
One afternoon an affable stranger
called on Felix and introduced him
self as a man he had met in Lou
Ludlams gambling house. Know
ing Felix to be interested in rou-
lette, the stranger thought he might
listen to a sure thing" scheme in
racing. Felix listened.
The stranger, who was Tracy,
had, he said, friend in the West
ern Union Office who could get adj
vance information on races. All
that was needed was capital. Sew
eral well known brokers were in on
the scheme. but they needed their
spare cash for betting. If Felix had
a safe large enough to house ST.
100000 cash and little money to
start the ball rolling, both would
soon be rich.
Felix had the safe and $4,000,
SO he was taken to the Office of the
brokers-after the brokers had
gone home for the day-and was
let in with a key Tracy had made.
Here the trusting maker of instru-
ments was introduced to John w.
Gates" and other celebrities.
Next day he was piloted to a pre-
tended poolroom, where Tracy won
several thousand dollars in "stage"
money. The betting grew heavier,
and Felix became nervous in the
fear he would not be able to get
his money down before the place
went broke. Finally he got to the
window and dumped $4,000 on one
race, At best accounts the horse he
bet on is running yet.
Felix tainted at the finish of the
race. When he came to. he hurried
TO police headquarters. where he
told his story. big" Lawson fled,
but Tracy and others who had been
in the swindle were arrested months
afterward. Following a long trial
Tracy was convicted, but he took his
case TO the Court of Appeals and
won on the ground that Felix had
been party to an attempt to swim
die poolroom owners.

Samose Ideal Flesh Builder Sa,
Druggists Paul G. Schulz & Sons

Thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishmentl
If you are thin, it is because the
food you east is not assimilated and
passes through the system without
building up the flesh and tissue as it
should.
Use Samose for few days and in
crease of life, yigor and weight is
felt and you will notice yourself
getting plump and rosy.
Samose builds up the system,
puts flesh on the bones, brings back
the glow of health to the pallid
cheek and removes the tired and
languid feeling which is the result
of exhaustion and low vitality.
Paul G. Schulz & Son are intro
ducing Samose to their customers
