THIRTEEN BUSINESS MEN HIT
BY GIRLS CHARGE

Every now and then the hand Of
Big Business slips when it is shearipg
a lamb. The squeal that follows is
mostly hushed, but once in while
the victim tries to kick or bite the
shearer.
Winifred Hall, Boulder, Col, says
she lost $1,000 in deal and brings
charges of fraud against Ii promi-
nent officers and directors of the de-
funct Realty Realization Co., among
them Potter Palmer, Jr.
It's a queer story, that of the Real
ty Realization Co. 1t was organized
in 1911 with capital of 81, 900, 900.
In less than two years the capital was
boosted to two, three, then five mil
lion dollars. When it went into bank
ruptcy half a year later the capital
had, according to the complainant,
Winifred Hall, by unlawful dividends
been reduced to $243, 405.
Financial crash of the 100000
company came after the body of Clin-
ton S. Voolfolk, president, was found
in his Evanston home with shotgun
nearby.
Potter Palmer, Jr.'s answer to the
charges against him is that they are
barred under the statute of limitta-
tons.

BEEF PACKERS JAM ENEMY
WITNESS TO TALK

When Louis c. Ehle was found
guilty of $500 embezzlement from
small stakeholder in the $75.000,000
Swift & Co. Monday night, it was
mainly on testimony of Henry Wee
der, head of the legal department OF
Swift & Co. Here are some facts
about Ehle which have not crept into
the Chicago papers:
EhIe is the chief witness of Atty
Gen. B. F. Looney of Texas in action
against Swift, Armour and Morris
companies filed last week.
Secretly and through the use of
Ehle as a dummy the Chicago pack
ers broke all the laws of Texas on
monopoly in restraint of trade, &C
cording to the Texas bill.
Ehle was the man in front. He
travelled around among rs cotton oil
mills and gins in Texas and Arkansas.
He sat in big Office in the New York
Life bldg, Chicago, and signed per-
sonal checks for as high as 100000,
and these checks were honored by
Chicago and Texas banks.
Nobody in Texas or Arkansas ex-
cept a few beef trust men knew that
Ehle was a dummy millionaire and
behind Ehle we're the Chicago pack
ers. When Ehle went down to San
Antonio or Ell Paso they met him on
the streets and said, "Howdy, Mr..
Ehle," believing that Mister Ehle was
a big millionaire. Back of the beef
trust office doors Ehle was only
lawyer working for a $10,0O0-a-year
salary for Swift & Co.
According to the Texas bill the
dummy held deeds to the property in
his own name. But secretly the dunn
my sighed papers called declarations
of trust, in which he says practical
ly: "The deeds to this property are
not mine. They are owned by other
persons named herein"

One of the greatest successes in the
sale OF medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia rene
dy, and its sale is increasing so rapidly
that Lee & Osgood, the popular drug
gists. have hard work to keep a stock
on hand. 1t is very popular with bank
ers, ministers. lawyers and others
whose business or profession keeps
them closely confined, while those who
have brought on indigestion through
irregular eating, worry or other causes
have found relief in this reliable rem
cdy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and is
sold in metal box especially designed
for convenience in carrying the medi-
cine in the pocket or purse. 1t is pleas
ant to take, gives quick relief and
should help any case, no matter of how
long a standing. This remedy has been
so uniformly successful that Lee &
OsgoOd will in future sell Mi-o-na I'M
der positive guarantee to refund the
money if 1t should not prove entirely
satisfactory. No other dyspepsia medi-
cine ever had a large enough percent

this manner. a guarantee like this

remedy.

$4,000 SALARY FOR
HEALTH OFFICER
Voted in New London-Mayor Then
Appoints DR.. John T. Black.
{ Special to The Bulletin.

Special to The Bulletin.)
New London Dec 3.-The action of
the city meeting two weeks ago at
which it was voted to disapprove the
city ordinance which provided for the
increase of the salary of the health
officer from s 900 to $4,000 did not end
that matter. At a special meeting of
the common council Friday night the
whole business was gone over again
and resulted in the passage of an or
dinance fixing the salary at $4,000,
which was carried with dissenting
votes. a gain of one in opposition.
Mayor Rogers then appointed DIR. John
T. Black as health officer. The Ordin-
ance and the appointment were favor
ed by Alderman Harrigan, formerly of
Norwich. and the other members of
the health committee. Both were OPP
posed by Aldermen Miner, Murray and
Perkins.
Mr.. Murray asked some very point
ed questions that did not receive sat
isfactorv response from the commit
tee. Alderman Miner spoke for an
hour against DR.. Black on the grounds
of his unfitness and lack of tact and
his assumption of authority and also
that he could not qualify under the
law. which plainly stated that the
health officer must be distinct per-
son. 1t was also claimed that DR..
Black was health officer when the or
dinance passed that raised the salary
and that under the city charter it
could not be done legally and be ap-
pliCable to the present incumbent.
Alderman Perkins also spoke in OPP
position and declared that unless he
could be shown within Is days that
this increase in salary carried with it
a general consolidation of several kin
dred offices such as city physician, in
spectors, and meant a decrease instead
of an increase in the expenses of the
health department he would have an
other city meeting called and that this
new proposition of increasing the SAL
airy to $2,0 would be defeated by even
a larger majority than was the ordin-
ance that would have made the salary
