Ingratitude to q Dog.
( Waterbury Republican,

(Naterbury Republlcan.)
 A curious and in some respects a pathetic situation exists in the gar den of a Manchester man. Last spring +le planted pumpkins freely. The soil was very favorable to the growth of pumpkins there has been rain and sun in proportion conducive to their well being and as a result the vines have thriven prodigiously. One, wandering across the border of the garden, entered the house of Car To, the faithful dog appurtenant to the place. Inside it developed a fruit. This pumpkin, nourished by the lusty vine and warmed on chill nights by Carlo grew to such a size before it was discovered by the owner of the place that he found it could not be withdrawn through the door. Now he is reported to be undecided whether to sacrifice the pumpkin and save the dog house, or let the pump kin attain it's growth and break down the dog house to get it out.
 He deserves some slight sym pathy, perhaps, for in these hard times one does not lightly sacrifice a pumpkin. which is food, nor destroy dog house, which is buildin" material. But the greatest measure of sym pathy must go out to Carlo. Consider the melancholy case of this humble and devoted creature. For years he has served the family with all the faith fitness of his kind. He has chased the tramp from the premises, instilled fear and respect for law in the prow- ling cat, fought royalty to maintain his sovereignty against the maraud ing dog, kept a keen and suspicious eye upon the iceman, the postman and the grocer boy, occasionally eX pressed his opinion of the moon and stood ready at all times to welcome with ebullient joy the rightful resi- dents of the place. In return he has asked only an occasional bone and a humble home at the gardens edge a simple affair just sufficient to keep the rain off and fill him with the consciousness of a settled place of residence. It has been a badge of his service, it has said to all the world: Here lives a dog that stays at home and guards his masters property
 Now what happens? He sees him. self busted by a vegetable. He sees the little round fruit that he accept ed in it's infancy and helplessness and warmed WllI HIS DOuN SlON luSC e"IIu arrogant and yellow and thrust him first into the corner and then out in the cold world. A mere vegetable has done this-a thing without virtue in it so far as he can judge. And what does he find his master doing? Does he see him attacking the inva- der with an axe and converting it into pieces that can be withdrawn through the door? No, he sees his master debating in a nercenary spirit whether to save the pumpkin or the dog house. This is the basest sort Of lngratitude. We would not blame Carlo if he went away between sup per and breakfast and did not return to the master that values pumpkin above the feelings of his dog. But being a dog, and more civilized Tn this respect than people, he will prob ably stick around and continue to do his duty. But we cannot help hoping that he will hold considerable con- verse with the moon until his house is restored to him.

were used to further the designs of the promoters"
 According to J. s. Swenson, postal inspector in Seattle, he co-operated l with Inspector Howard B. Mayhew who was sent to Alaska by the gov ernment to investigate the Tjosevig- Kennecott Copper Company "The promoters flooded New York and other Eastern cities with literature, and sold stock to the amount of $400,000," MT. Swenson said. And they sent this literature through the mails. Some of the stock was sold in Spokane and in Wallace, Idaho, but, as I under stand it, the concerns headquarters were in New York"
 Little Money Reaches Treasury The mines owned by the company are said to be at Mccarthy, Alaska. After the organization of the concern, according to Associated Press advices, the indictments charged the defend ants with negotiating with a broker age firm in New York for the sale of stock and disposal of 550,0O0 shares of par value of $1 each, on representa- tion that the money would be used only for development purposes. Only one-fifth of the money thus acquired was used for development, and the remaining four-ffths never reached the company's treasury, the indict- ments declare. This latter circum- stance, alleged in the indictments, is in harmony with the declaration made by a director, that the officers of the company were in no way involved in the alleged irregularities in New York, and were not responsible for the do- ings of the promoters.
 Harvey A. Willis & Co.,, brokers of New York city, was the firm engaged
  it was stated by director of the con- cern, Several Seattle and Spokane men, he said, worked with the com pany in marketing the stock, and also were responsible for the literature ad- vertising it. Magazine and newspaper advertising also was used, he said.
 Representations made to investors when they purchased the stock were false, according to Postal Inspector Mayhew, who appeared before the grand jury. The inspectors have been working on the case for months, In spector Swenson said. They looked into the concerns activities after re- ceiving complaints, he explained.

the evidence on which the indictments were found, and said that the defend ants had sold worthless stock, mainly to people of New York and New Eng land, receiving $4OO,OO0.
 Much Stock Sold ;
 The alleged plan of the accused men was the usual course of widespread advertising campaigns, containing mis representations, Taylor said. He add ed that the defendants had organized the TjOsevig- g-KennecOtt Copper Com pany in the state of Washington, and through firm of brokers had dis posed of 500OOO shares of stock in three weeks
 Among the alleged misrepresenta- tions were statements to the effect that they owned twenty-two mining claims in Alaska, that 800 tons of cop per ore had been taken out which con- tained $1920 in silver to the ton, and that the mine was superior to the fam Ous Kennecott mines.
 Directors Repudiated Promoters
 Former Governor M. B. Hay is pres ident of the Tjosevig- -Kennecott Cop per Company and w. L. Gazzam is sec nd a witness before the grand jury in New York. He returned to Seattle recently. The directors of the con- cern include, besides the officers, J. w. Roberts, counsel for the company and H. s. Seagraves, a mining engi- neer. None of the officers is accused of implication in the alleged fraud.
 According to the dispatches from New York, all six men are residents of Seattle, but a director of the con- cern said that only three of them live there. Snyder and Mcdonald are Spo- kane men, and Gearon lives in Wal lace, Idaho
 George Francis Rowe one of the in dicted men, whose home is in Seattle, declared that he had no fear of being unable to establish his integrity in court. He brought suit against the copper company for compensation due him for advertising, some months ago, in the superior court at Seattle, he ex- plained and a decision in his favor was upheld by the supreme court of the state of Washington.
 At the time it was alleged that the advertising 1 wrote was misleading, and for that reason the company sought to withhold payment" he said. "The court ruled that the advertising was based on engineers reports, and upheld my position. 1 have never wis ited the mine in Alaska owned by the company, but I understand that the claims are believed to be valuable by engineers who have studied them"
 We were foolish enough to permit our names to be used by the promot- CTS of the scheme" one of the direct OTIS of the company said. We were given stock in the concern and felt that it was a reputable undertaking. When we found out what was going on we repudiated the scheme Mr. Seagraves went to Alaska to investi gate the cOmpany's claims, and he re- ported them to be worthless. That convinced us Previously we had been given rosy reports by the men who Iured us into the concern. Since the fa1sity of the claims made for the company's holdings have been known to us, Governor Hay and the other di- aectors have eXerted every effort to make restitution for the misdOings of the promoters. No officer of the com pany ever received a cent of compen- sation from the company. Our names
