SWITZERLAND IS AFTER
PROMINENT CHICAGO BROKER

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Hans Bauder, president of the
international Realty Association, and head of the saw
mos banks in Basic and Zurich, Switzerland, was ar.
rested here today by officers on complaint of the Swiss
government. 1t was charged that Bauder swindled citi.
2 ms of Switzerland out of nearly 100000 by fraudulent
bank and mining schemes. He was held without bail
pending extradition proceedings.
As president of the Austin Manhattan Consolidated
Mining company, a Nevada concern, Bauder is alleged
to have returned to Switzerland, his native country,
two wears ago and sold several hundred dollars worth of
stock. Investigators employed by the Swiss government
charge that the stock is worthless.
While negotiating the stock sales Bauder is said to
have opened the banks in the Swiss cities. 1t is charged
that $4,000 of deposits in the institutions are missing.
Baudcr said he was not guilty when arraigned before
the United States commissioner here.
The above news item from Chicago is in error in stat
ing that Hans Bauder was or is president of the Austin
Manhattan Consolidated Mining company. According
to the first prospectus of the company, Mr.. Baudcr was
a member of the directorate Our recollection is that in
the early days of financing the company, Mr.. Bauder's
efforts were devoted to the sale of stock i'll Switzerland,
his native home. His methods, as subsequently disclosed,
was to purchase large blocks OF Austin Manhattan stocks
and then sell the same to Europeans at about four times
the cost, he. himself, making the rakc-off. His business
seems TO have been that of a broker and spcCulator in
stocks upon an extensive scale. He evidently did to Man.
haitian what Barney Baruch of New York was said to
have done to Goldhcld Consolidated during the panic.
Another interesting story that appears in the papers
about Baudcr was that ofhis return to America, making
the trip on the same vessel that brought Roosevelt home
from Africa. Coming over, he so impressed the Colonel
with financial affairs i'll Europe, that he was asked to be a
guest at Oyster Bay, so that his views might be obtained
i'll more extensive form. But the immigration authorities
50 the newspapers said, detained Bauder at Ellis Island
on a very grave charge. Anyhow, he never had the
pleasure OF entertainment at Oyster Bay and Roosevelt
still has a vacancy III his store of knowledge of financial
and commercial affairs of Europe.
