ORfN R. MADISON ARRESTED
FACES GRAND LARCENY CHARGE
His Attorney Threatened to Send the
Publisher of the Echo to the Peni-
tentiary for Urging People Not to
Take Stock in His Scheme.

Because a number of honest Leav-
enworth working men were made vic
tins of Madison's scheme, notwith-
standing the Echo warned them they
would lose their money, the telling of
how he tried thru Seattle attorney
to make the publisher of The Echo
retract an article, printed in The Echo
warning the Leavenworth people not
to take stock in his enterprise, may
be found interesting reading. He
came here in the fall of 1917 in large
six cylinder auto and stopt at the Bar
clay hotel. His Charley Chaplin mus
tache would have attracted attention
if his method of interesting people in
his scheme had not. The editor of
this paper watched him approach cer-
tain people and his methods aroused
his suspicious. He always tackled the
class of workingmen who were known
to draw large salaries and had the
reputation of saving their money. A
noticeable thing was that of the many
approached he was never known to
talk to but one man at time. He
had very little printed literature about
his scheme and what he did have was
not passed around, but must have been
taken up after it was shown, as none
of it could be secured in Leavenworth
After some effort one folder was Sc
cured at Skykomish or Gold Bar, by a
railroad man, who had been ap-
preached to buy stock in his scheme.
From Madison's actions here, and a
reading of the folder the publisher of
The Echo decided that all those who
invested their hard-earned money in
his scheme would certainly lose it,
and printed the following warning in
the Echo of Nov. 2, 1917.

FRANK MCGUIRE BACK.
WAS WOUNDED IN FRANCE

Mr.. Mcclure returned to Leaven-
worth last Tuesday, having been dis
charged from the 91st division in Sc
attic. 1t was a year this month when
he enlisted; at that time he was en-
ployed at the Great Northern lumber
mills. He was with the now famous
Ninety-first division when that body
of men took part in the battle of the
Argonne forest and was wounded in
the thigh by shrapnel on Oct. 9th.

G. N. CLIPS SHOP WORK
Puts $50 Hillyard Men on Fiye-Day
Week Schedule

The locomotive department of the
Hillyard shops of the Great Northern
railway began working only five days
week and eight hours day last
Monday. A notice published on the
bulletin boards read:
effective Monday, April 7, and un-
til further advised, the hours of work
in the locomotive department, includ-
ing the machine shop, boiler shop,
blacksmith shop and tin shop, will be
five days per week and eight hours
per day. Please be governed accord
ingly. C. H. Putnam, shop superin-
tendent."
This order affects about $50 men
and will decrease the payrolls for the
shops approximately $1,000 per month.
The employees are unable to under
stand the cause for the action, as a
number of locomotives are on hand to
be overhauled and the company has
been rushing the engines out of the
shops as if in great need of locomo-
tives.
The locomotive department has been
working eight hours per day and six
days per week since the latter part of
December. For several months before
that time they worked ten hours per
day and much additional overtime.
No word has yet been received of
a like action at any other place on the
system.

Mr.. Deed Magyar,
Leavenworth Echo,
Leavenworth, Wash.

Leavenworth, Wash.
Dear Sir:
l telegraphed you today as follows:
"Robert Madison demands immedi-
ate complete retraction your libelous
article of second, otherwise directs
proceedings against you Immediately.
Wire answer"
Which telegram l now confirm.
Mr.. Madison has wired me the full
text of the article you published on the
End inst, and has instructed me to
demand of you an immediate and COM
plete retraction of this false and ma
licious attack upon him, and in case
it is not made Immediately to bring
civil action against you for damages
and in addition to have you prose-
cuted criminally for the publication
of this libel.
II is difficult to imagine even So
called editor of your class going so
far out of his way TO stick his nose
into other peoples business, but when
he does he should bear the conse-
quences. l know of my own personal
knowledge that the statements you
make in this article which are dam
aging to Mr.. Madison when read by
those who are not acquainted with
him are absolutely false and untrue.
Mr.. Madison not only feels that he
must have satisfaction in damages for
your malicious attack upon him bat

Selling Stock in Department Store

For the past few weeks one of those
suave, plausible artists who are past
masters at the art of extracting coin
from the unwary has made his head =
quarters in Leavenworth. He drives
around in a high power, six cylinder,
$4,000 auto.
He is selling stock in a proposed
mail order house to be established
somewhere on the Pacific coast, which
is to make millions for the investors.
Montgomery Ward G. Co. and Sears
e. Roebuck, each with huidred mil
lion capital, and fifty years of exper-
fence for the former, already have
branch houses on this coast. There is
about as much chance for another mail
order house in the west as there would
be for an ice merchant in the neither
world. If the hundreds who have in
vested their good money in mining
schemes, farm and orchard companies,
steel plants, cash registers and money
changers, can exchange their stock for
the proposed stock in the department
store, we'll and good, but in our judg-
ment if they invested good, hard
earned money, and failed to kiss it
good bye, they will only have their
regrets to remind them of bad in
vestment. Four per cent government
bonds by the side of promise of big
dividends in a department store may
look like a poor investment, but re-
member, the four per is dead sure.
The department store is long, long
gamble. The managers on the inside
may make money. 1t would require
a hundred million dollars and ten years
of time to put department store on
a paying basis. If there was room for
another, which there is not.

Shortly after the paper was circu-
lated Madison visited the Echo office
and under threat of civil and criminal
prosecution asked the publisher to
print full and complete retraction Of
the statement printed above. On con-
dition that he convinced him that his
scheme was legitimate the publisher
offered to make retraction. This Mad
ison refused to do, and remarked his
attorney would be instructed to insti-
tute prosecution.
Saturday morning Nov. 8, 1917, the
following telegram was received:
Seattle, Wn., Nov. 8, 1917.
