Secret Service Workers Claim to
Have Net Around Members of
Syndicate Of Pretty Women
and Handsome Men Who
Trapped and Mulcted Wealthy
Persons.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Federal secret
service men claimed today that as
result of the arrest of five men and
three women here they will break
up a syndicate composed of beautiful
women and handsome men who have
been operating an amazing blackmail
scheme and secured more than MIL
lion dollars from wealthy men and
women of society.
1t is claimed that evidence unearth-
ed here will lead to location of black
mailers who form a part of the syndi.
cate with headquarters in New York
and Philadelphia.
The authorities say the syndicate
is composed of 40 men and 20 women,
who live in the height of luxury, dress
like millionaires and play the parts
of millionaires with success.
In the apartments where arrests
were made here, the secret service
men found many pictures of men and
women in compromising positions.
These pictures, 1t is said, were to be
used by the blackmailers to force tri-
butte from the persons trapped.
Prices paid for silence on the part
Of the blackmailers after suckers"
had been trapped, ranged from $4,000
to $4,000.
One man whose tribute to the syn.
dicate is said to have been $4,000
is described by the secret service men
as New York millionaire, married,
with two daughters in society and
living in a Fifth-av mansion.
This case, say the authorities, is
typical of the way the blackmailers
work.
The millionaire went to Atlantic
City for weekend. He met beau
tiful, lavishly gowned woman. Surf
dips, dinners and theater visits fol-
lowed. AS they moved about, they
were followed by two dapper young
men. They went to a New York no.
tel. They were not in their room
long before the two men entered. 1t |
was agreed that $4,000 would be paid
for the silence of the woman and two
men.
A Philadelphia society woman is
said to have been trapped by one Of
the handsome men of the syndicate,
led into an embarrassing situation
and mulcted for $3500.
Among those arrested here are a
man called DR.. Edward Donahue and
Mrs. Edward Donahue, said by the
secret service men to be the master
minds" who directed the operations
of the syndicate. !

A progressive corn exposition that
starts with the little red schoolhouse
and concludes with large displays at
the winter grain shows has been put
in motion by r. F. Flint, commission.
er of agriculture and labor.
His plan is to have corn and al.
falfa shows at every school, follow
ed by town and village contests, a
display at the st. Paul corn show,
closing with comprehensive shoWings
at Minot, Bismarck and other win
ter expOsitions.
Owing to their Importance on the
farms of North Dakota, it is alto
gether timely that exhibits of corn
and alfalfa seed should be collected
now in every locality within the
state" says R. F. Flint, commissioner
of agriculture. In this connection
it would be we'll if teachers in the
rural schools would set aside one day
during the coming Appreciation Week,
on which to hold an exhibit of these,
and other products of the district,
at the schoolhouse. Suitable exer-
cises, programs and discussions could
be arranged and the patrons of the
school invited in. The best of these
exhibits could be preserved and used
as basis for exhibition at the larger
local exhibits, to be held this win
ter at the Tri.state Gran Growers
Convention at Fargo, Mid-Winter Fair
at Devils Lake, Corn and Glover Con-
vention at Grand Forks, Mid-Winter
Fair at Minot, Corn Show at Bis
marck, and numerous other shows
scattered over the state,' continued
Mr.. Flint, who is also Secretary of
the County Fair Association.
There is also the First National
Corn Show at St. Paul, which is
worthy of a large number Of exhibits

leging that he was intoxicated, that
he came by her singing and patted
her on the cheek, which met with
a sharp rebuke from her gentleman
friend, with the result that she was
ordered to leave the hotel. Miss Mary
G. Yabsley, society woman of Chicago
and prominent educational worker,
has filed suit in Foster county for
$4,000. The defendant is George
Brown, proprietor Of the Brown hotel
at New Rockford
Miss Yabsley, who for the past two
seasons has been introducing educa-
tional works in the state for the firm
Of Observation-Disclosures company Of
Chicago, and who has been an honor
ed guest at many different events,
at Lakota and other points in the,
state. alleges that she was playing a
card game in the lobby Of the hotel
recently with two other ladies and
a travelling man by the name of Hop
kins.
Further allegations are that follow
ing the conflict between the hotel
proprietor and Hopkins over the form
er's actions the defendant used pro-
fame and indecent language in front
Of her and when it came to the set
tlement of her bill for five days at
the hotel the amount was $40 when
according to the rates of the house
it should have been but $40.
Further charges are by the plaintiff
that she was ordered to leave the
hotel on a Sunday night and that
when she explained to the defendant
that it was never customary for her
to leave on such an evening, he was
all the more demanding and abusive.
Miss Yabsley has thru her attor-
ney, J. S. Cameron of New Rockford,
sworn to a warrant for the arrest Of
George Brown. In her complaint her
charges are supported by number
of travelling men, who were present
in the hotel at the time.

issued an order to show cause why
an injunction should not be granted
against putting into effect the new

The action in the state court has
temporarily restrained the express
