Frank Jones, Who. Gained His
Freedom by Writing, win
Start Life Anew in Ny.

,MUSKEGON;. Mich, Dec. ST.
Frank G.. Jones, paroled .forger and.
four years ago. president Of the firm
which as: the result Of his manipula-
ton failed, with a margin Of nearly.
81, 0o0, 900 in liabilities over:its assets,
aow one of the most talented short
story writer's in the country, will leave
Muskegon for New York SOON. :.
Before he leaves Muskegon Jones
will begin paying the losses of small
stockholders in the American Electric
Fuse company, the concern which he
was at the head of when it went to the
wall. The initial payments will be
made on a. pro rate basis, SIS or SO
at time to each person.
Of the larger losers, the Chicago,
New York, and Detroit trust COM
panies and banks, which took over
his forged orders and contracts and
charged him sometimes as high rate
as 20 or Is: per cent, Jones says moth
ing.
How Fraud Was Worked.
Al the time Of his trial Jones uncor-
cred details of his forgeries. He ad-
mitted that at the time of his arrest
he had over 100000 in fraudulent
paper out in banks and vaults Of trust
companies upon all of which he had
secured money.
His method was simple. He would
forge orders on we'll known firms for
the payment of sum of money in re-
turn for the products of his factory
in 60 or 80 days. On these orders he
would obtain money from trust COM
panies and banks, in each case TAX
ing the contracts up before the time
the money was due, by means Of
larger forged orders, purporting to
come from other firms.
The interest charged, however, fire.
quently as high as 20 and rs per cent,
rapidly forced up the total. Careless
forging of name led Chicago trust
company to question one of the orders.
The discovery that it was fraudulent
led to the expose and the failure of
the Fuse company.
Accuses Charles T. Johnson.
Jones' arrest did not come until q
Grand Rapids hank officer made the
complaint, however. With his bail
fixed at $4,000, Jones pleaded with
creditors and stockholders to furnish
this amount so that he could close up
the affairs of the concern and save
them thousands of dollars. =.
His request was refused, and in
bitter statement to the directors of
the company he implicated Charles 7.
Johnson. Johnson, Jones claimed, ut
tered the first forged accounts and or
ders. A case against Johnson, follow
ing the failure of the Fuse company,
is still pending.
Jones began to write stories soon
after he began his term at the 1onia
state reformatory. At first he had
nttle success, but later on he steac.
lily improved. The last year every
story he offered for sale was at once
disposed of,

ANOTHER cLEAN-u DAY

Pursuant to a call made in our
last issue, the ladies who have
had charge of the work OF clean
ing up the town will expect ev-
cry able-bodied man to come out
today prepared to put in some
good work on the streets. The
Schools, we understand. will be
dismissed that the boys and girls
may also engage in this work
and we feel assured that they
will do a full share in the work.
This is our last chance to win
the prize as the cleanest city in
our class in the State. Tupelo
is, as everybody who comes here
admits, the best town in the
State and we believe that it is
normally the cleanest town in
the State.
If we lose the prize it will be
because we failed to do our duty
today. Some other town may
be a little more active, but if we
do what the ladies ask of us to-
day we feel assured in predict
ing that Tupelo will walk off
with the coveted honors. To the
ladies who have undertaken this
work we should give unstinted
praise. They have done a mag
nifcent work and as evidence of
this fact expressions are heard
on every hand that the city this
spring is more beautiful than
ever before. Now that we have
placed it in such magnificent
condition, let US continue to h5id
it in the high position it occupies
among the towns of Mississippi.
