NAPKINS FIGURED IN ANOTHER
 BANK FRAUD
WITH NINE OTHERS HE IS INDICTED BY THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY AT KANSAS CITY

Thomas L. Watkins of the Ranch CTS Trust fame figures prominent ly in a similar fraud in Kansas City, by which investors lose $l0O,- 900. Concerning the same the Kansas City Star publishes the fol- lowing:
 George L. Davis. lawyer; Ernest D. Martin, lawyer; Jr John w. Thompson, lawyer; H. W. Richard son, now in Vancouver, B. C., wanted on bank fraud charge in Memphis, Tenn; Thomas A. Rob- erts, Kansas City; A. R. Fuller, now in Seattle; John W. Beery, Kan sas City; w. L. Mover, Chicago, has been head of banks now de- funct in Chicago, New York and other places; Thomas L. Watkins, formerly a Kansas City hnancier, now living in Flagstaff, Ariz.; J. Bainbridge Jones, Hornellville, N. r., has been connected with a num- Der of busted" banks.
 Ten former officials and directors of the American Union Trust Com pany. that failed in Kansas City December 90, 1911, were drawn into the government net of alleged postal frauds this morning.
 "The federal grand jury returned indictments against these ten men, charging them with violation of the postal laws in connection with the failure of the bank There are two indictments. One charges the use of the mails to defraud. The other charge is making fraudulent and false representations through the mails with an intent to deceive. The bond of each defendant was fixed at S5,OO0.
 "The American Union Trust Com pany never was regarded among Kansas City bankers as a real bank. It was never admitted to member ship in the Kansas City clearing house
 Government agents have been working on the case more than a year. The testimony before the grand jury was to the effect that nearly SlOO.OOO was sunk in the ven ture by Kansas City, Kas., and Missouri investors. An examina- tion of the trust company which meanwhile had taken over the All Night and Day bank, found that it had been wrecked with worthless paper upon which the bank was un- able to realize.
 Investigation by the State au- thorities followed But after the stockholders of the bank, not in the workings of the finance com mittee, had furnished enough money to make good the losses of the de- positors, the investigation quieted down. The government, however, pressed the prosecution.
 Much of the worthless paper of the trust company came from the All Night and Day bank, which the trust company absorbed. The say mgS of three thousand persons. in- cluding bell boys, washerwomen and many laboring men. were tied up by the failure. But the responsible persons who had been drawn into the trust company had to make up the deficit SO the depositors could be paid
 The indictments charging the bank officers and directors with fraud are long, comprising more than one hundred and thirty pages. They contain twenty-six specifc counts of alleged misdeeds in con neotion with the operation of the bank"

The destruction of the Faulkner plant makes a short sketch of its his tory interesting at this time. It was one of the early industries of the town and was a busy plant during the greater part of the long time it was established. The Mineral Springs company was first incorporated in March, 1889. The incorporators in- cluded Solva Converse, Lewis Parkess, Preston Parkess, Jasper Hyde and Moses B. Harvey. Solva Converse was the first president and treasurer, and was also the agent of the com pany for many years. The first mill built was of stone and wood, 84 by 30 feet, with two sets of machinery, and was known as the Green mill. The business was continued until 1842, when it was closed down for a time owing to unfavorable business con- ditions. About 1845 Farley Converse acquired an interest in the concern, and soon afterward Julius Converse became secretary and treasurer. In January, 1S48, the plant was destroyed by fire. Solva and Farley Converse, who were the principal owners, now became sole proprietors. The main wooden structure recently burned was erected at that time, and the capacity of the business materially enlarged. In 1858 Farley Converse withdrew from the Mineral Springs company and the business came into possession of Solva Converse and his sons. For several years Solva Converse was pre- sident and agent, and Julius Converse acted as secretary and treasurer until 1866, when he became agent also. In the meantime, in 1862, the large stone mill was built and the capacity increased from three sets to eight sets. In 1883 another addition was made to the mill and 40 broad looms were in troduced. In 1885 Julius Converse became sole proprietor of the Mineral Springs Co.,, and the great success o1 the business for term of years was ApASCAJ NAO OO HE CAOAbS HI MdyS 1889, the stone building was de- stroyed, by fire starting in the picker room, but the main wooden building was saved.
