Seattle, Wash. Jan. 16.--In the ar
rest yesterday of T. r. Kelley secre-
tary and Arthur Bird, treasurer of
the Pacific Mutual Bond and Loan
Co, on Federal warrants charging
them with using the mails to defraud,
postoffee inspectors said they have un-
earthed one of the largest swindling
schemes ever conducted in the Pa
cific Northwest. Warrants have been
issued for other officers of the COM
pany, who are being sought through
out the country. Kelley and Bird
were arraisned before a United States
commissioner and held to the grand
jury under $4,000 bail each, in default
of which they were remanded to jail.
According to postofflce inspectors,
the Pacific Mutual Bond and Loan
Co, which was incorporated in Wash
ington two years ago with a capital
stock ,of s250,000 to lend money on
farm mortgages, really had no money
to lend and duped prospective Dor
rowers by charging an examination fee

loan desired. The money obtained in
this way, the government alleges, was
diverted to the use Of the officers of
