Father Seeks Three Girls
MVSteriOuSIV MiSSinu

That three sisters from Texas
have been lured to Oakland, Cal. and
forced into underworld life by white
slavers is the expressed fear of their
father, George G. Sanders, of Hous-
ton.
Adding a new element of mystery
to the case, Sanders charged that his
daughters had been tnveigled into
going to Oakland by a man who IN
1906 murdered Sanders brother and
who in the past few months has
passed as that brother.
Sanders had heard his brother, who
left home in 1906 to inspect Colorado
mining property, had been killed by
the companion with whom he left
Houston. Last February Sanders re-
ceived a letter purDort1ng to come
from his brother, explaining that the
brother Ronald, had spent the In
tervening years in Alaska.
Other letters followed and "Ron-
AID then wrote, urging George
Sanderss daughters to visit him and
his bride. Marjory Sanders, just out
college, made the trip. She wrote
letters back home-letters which
George Sanders now remembers were
unnatural.
At the earnest solicitation of Ron
aid and his wife, Sanders other two
daughters went to Oakland on June
IA. George Sanders received a post
card stating his two daughters had
arrived here, but has received moth
ing further.
After Sanders had written several
letters, he left Houston to investi-
gate. He found no trace of his al
legged brother, or OF his daughters
in Oakland

Home of F. r. Pegram, Bee

BOSTON, Mass-The man who
owns the Beef Trust is a poor clerk.
He lives in the town of Cohasset,
Mass. and works eight hours a day
here in Boston.
He is a multi-millionaire who isn't!
He holds $50,000,000 of beef trust
stock, and can't spend a nickel of it.
He is the richest poor man in Amer
ica. His name is F. r. Pegram.
Though the title of the beef trusts
rests in his name, he can't even Or
der a beefsteak without paying trib-
ute to the butcher.
The reason is that while Pegram
is technically the owner of this fifty
million, he is really only dummy
one of many dummies behind which
the big packers have hidden to con-
ceal the real extent of their grip
upon the stockyards interests. Pc
gram is a humble messenger and
bookkeeper in the Office of F. H
Prince, Boston and New York bank
er.
I have seen Pegram on the job in
the office of Banker Prince in Bos-
ton, and out at his home in Cohas-
set. This "$50,00O,0OO messenger
looks like a typical New England
forty dollar per" faithful old clerk.
He is about SIS years old, and works
on a caStiron schedule.

Then Commits Suicide

William Heller, of No. 20 Belmont
avenue, Newark, N. J., visited several
Of his friends early last week and
requested them to act as pal1bearers
at his funeral, which he said prob
ably would be held soon. They
thought he was joking and assured
him they would assent to his wishes.
Next morning Mr.. Heller's wife
found him asphy xiated in the parIor
of their home. During the night, he
arose from bed, went into the parlor,
closed the door and stuffed the key
hole with paper. The gas was turned
on. He was pronounced a suicide.
A few weeks ago Heller was ar
rested for stealing SIS worth of ba-
con from his employer, Newark
butcher. He said he committed the
act while under the influence Of
liquor. His wife asserted he felt his
shame keenly and was respondent.
