BOY FOOLED fINANc|ER,,
SECURED DAZZLING SALARY
POSING AS INVENTIVE GENIUS
DYE PLANT TO BEAT GER
MANY WAS BUILT.

Henry Clay Arbnttle, a 19-year-
old boy, who has been drawing q
salary Of $4,000 year, with prom
ises Of huge bonuses and one-third
Of the stock Of the company by which
he was employed, is awaiting trial at
Milwaukee, Wis, charged with the
theft of platinum and chemicals
valued at $4,000. He was arrested
in New York citx where he was at
tempting to dispose Of the materials
in his possession.
Possibly not the wizard of dre-
making that he represented himself
to be, Arbuttie, however, proved him
self to be a wizard of finance. The
manner in which he exploited his
secret process" for the making of
dyes that would surpass those manu-
featured in Germany would have
done credit to the most skillful pro-
moter Of mature years and rivaled
the exploits Of the famous J. Rufus
Wallingford
The youth, according to. his own
story was born Somewhere in Viz
ginia." After leaving his native
state q year or SO ago, he worked for
the DUPONT Powder company and
for Philadelphia chemical concerns.
and in this way obtained a practical
knowledge Of the making Of dyes.
Then he moved to Chicago, where he
interested dye dealer in his great
discovery. The president of the Nov
city Dye company of Milwaukee, also
became interested in the process.
Youth Given Dazzling Salary.
So persuasive was the youth and So
practical did his scheme appear that
In less than two weeks he was under
contract at $4,000 year. The In
ternational Dye company was or
ganlzed with a capital stock of $780,
600 and a building rented in which
the wizard was to carry his EXPERT
ments into effect and manufacture
dyes that would revolutionize the in
dustry.
Arbuttle worked hard during work
hours, but he opened fashionable
bachelor apartments, bought an auto
mobile, moved with the select of the
city, and spent money literally. He
was heralded as a genius but for
some reason his process failed to
show advancement. Finally the stock
holders demanded that he s'show them
something"
Then Arbuttle busted himself and
produced dye that appeared to
stand every test. The stockholders all
agreed that they were the most won
derful ever made. The youth was
encouraged to go on WITH his axnari-
ments. One day the president of the
company was informed that the boy
genius was missing. He went to the
bachelor apartments and learned that
Arbuttle had left the city. The safe
at the Office was opened and it was
found that platinum plates and chem
icals worn $4,000 had been lifted.
Arbuttle was traced to Chicago
where it was found that he was main
tanning another apartment and an
automobile. From that point the po-
lice picked up a clew hat pointed to
New York. There the youth was ar
rested and taken back to the scene
of his operations for trial. He has
intimated that he has no new process
for the making of dyes and that the
samples he offered for the inspection
of the stockholders had been secured
from dealers.
