1929, GOO involved.

Los Angeles, May Enlarged
with having Illegally loaned them
selves $1,237, 900 belonging to $4,000
stockholders scattered throughout the
country, Charles A Elder and eight
other former officers of the Los An
geles Investment company, were in
dicted by the county grand jury. Bail
was fixed at $4,000 for each of them
Sixteen indictments were filed,
which set forth the additional charge
that the accused men had schemed in
1913 to deceive stockholders by the
false statement that Andrew Carne-
gle, Charles M. Schwab, former Sen
ator W. A. Clark, of Montana, and
other millionaires were negotiating to
buy lands at price which would net
the investment company a profit of
$S,0O0,O00.
The indictments just returned sup
plement true bills filed against the
accused men in October, 1913, by the
Federal Grand Jury, which charged
them with having conspired to use
the mails to defraud. Trials in these
cases are set for next month and sub
poenas were recently issued summon
ing 40 stockholders from Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona, Iowa, Nebraska
and Wisconsin to testify in the United

Old Treaties.

note from the United States govern
ment to Germany concerning the sink
ing of the American ship William P

terms of the old Prussian-American
treaties of 1899 and 1928, regardless
of any prize court decision.
Not to Be Confiscated.
These treaties provide that contra
band belonging 10 the subjects of
either party shall not be confscated
by the other in any case, but may be
detained or used only in consideration
of payment of the full value
While willing to agree to payment
for the Frye as proposed, it is under
stood the United States stands by it's
original protest against the destruc-
ton of the ship as a violation of inter-
national law and again denies that the
cargo of wheat consigned to a British
port was contraband. No claim for the
cargo was made, because it was sold
en- route to British dealers.

For Corruption"

Syracuse, NJ Y, May 1.-William
M. WINS, chief counsel for William
Barnes, said he had telegraphed to
Governor Whitman asking him to ap-
pear as a witness in rebuttal to tes-
tify regarding the authenticity of the
letter read at the last session and
other matters. Counsel for Colonel
Roosevelt said they had submitted the
letter to persons who were familiar
with the governors signature, who
had declared it to be his.
Whitman is Silent.
Albany, n. Y, May 1.-Governor
Whitman declined to make any COM
ment on the letter introduced at the
Barnes-Roosevelt libel suit trial in
Syracuse.
Roosevelt Quits Stand.
Syracuse, n. Y, May Theodore
Roosevelt was excused from the wit
ness stand in the Barnes libel suit
after he had told his own story of
how he had ended the panic of 1907
and had identified letter upon cor
rupt conditions in New York state
which, it was represented, was signed
by Governor Charles S. Whitman
when he was district attorney of New
York.
In this letter it was said that the
time was ripe to rid the state of the
kind of party control, which was
mainly responsible for corruption
The allegation also was made that the
men and policies responsible for such
conditions were not confined to any
one party. The name of William
Barnes did not appear in the epistle,
but Colonel Roosevelt testified he be-
1ieved the reference was to him.
"Reled" Upon Letter.
The Whitman letter was written in
February, 1914, to Charles H. Duell,
Jr, of New York, and was shown to
Roosevelt upon his return last May
from South America Roosevelt said
he relied upon the statements in
the letter in making the attack upon
Barnes, although Barnes and Murphy |
were not called by name in the letter. |
The part of the letter admitted by |
Justice Andrews read:
"In line with our last talk, | be-
lieve the time is ripe for an alliance
of Progressive Republicans and mem
bers of the Progressive party, as well
as all good citizens sharing their
opinions, to rid the state of the kind
of party control which. in my opinion,
is mainly responsible for the corrupt
conditions which have been clearly
shown in the various examinations and
which have been held
during the last year. These condi-
tons are not localized, and the men
and the policies responsible for them
are not confined to any one party"
