|2 STEAMERS AGROUND
 PASSENGERS ARE SAFE
City of Brockton" ant Concord" Slightly Dam-
 aged-Capt's. Stories

New York, April 6.--Half a hun. dred women passengers on the Long Island Sound steamer Concord from Providence. calmly finished eating their breakfasts this morning when the craft grounded during dense fog off Sunken Meadows. near the treach- erous waters of Hell Gate.
 Only slight jar was felt as the steamer struck bottom.
 Stewards quietly told the diners there was no danger. and their word evidently was accepted. for there was not the slightest semblance of a panic, ships officers said.
 Fifty other passengers who were sleeping were aroused from their berths and told to be ready to be taken ashore. Police boats. which had been notified of the plight of the Concord, took all the passengers ashore safely. They were brought to New York by train.
 The Concord grounded at the same time the City of Brockton, New Haven, Conn.,, freighter. hit a sunken reef. The vessels were within 25 feet or eaCn Othef.
 The fog was one of the heaviest recorded here in years. shipping men said. It was learned later when the fog lifted, that both vessels narrowly escaped running down a government barge and several launches near the scene of the accident.
 Two police launches and New Ha ven railroad boat took off the 100 or more passengers safely and land cd them at uptown docks. They were later placed on trains arriving at the Grand Central terminal.
 There was no panic, according to Captain Hardy of the City of Brock ton, and Captain Cobb of the Con- cord. No one was injured. Both shippers declared their belief that the vessels would be floated with the flood tide. Apparently neither craft was damaged to any extent.
 The sound was blanketed by heavy fog. Both vessels were bound for New York.
 The City of Brockton, a freigther, sailed from New Haven. All of the passengers were on the Concord, which sailed from Providence.

INVESTORS FLEECED l IN HUGE OIL FRAUD
S1 Companies Involved, Govern,
 ment Agents Assert
BOSTON ATTORNEY INDICTED
Lawyer Is Charged With Conspiracy With Score. Of Other Persons Tn Using U. S. Mails For The Purpose Of Dcfrnuding.

Boston, April 6.-The arrest toda, Of Charles M. Ludden, an attorney. or an indictment alleging conspirac. with a score of other persons 10 use the mails to defraud led governmen, officials to reveal the outline Of what they termed an oil fraud involving S1 oil companies and possible losses o millions to tockhoders.
 The indictments concerned the Pc troleum Corp. of America. orga nized In New York in 1918 for the announc. ed purpose of becoming a holding company of oil companies in the United States.
 How Loss Came
 The loss to the stockholders, gov. ernment investigators said, resulted from the fact that they were obliged to give two shares of their stock for one in the holding company.
 Subsequent to the organization of the petroleum corporation, the Frank lin oil Co.,, was organized in this state, assistant federal District Attor- ney Essex Abbott said.
 As the Franklin Oil Co.,, is a vol untary association and not a corpora tion, he explained, it could do busi- ness in this state whereas the petro- leum corporation could not. The Franklin Co.,. acted as the instrument for the corporation. It sold stock with the privilege of exchange on a hasis of two shares for one.''
 Ludden Interested
 Ludden is alleged to be interested in the Franklin Co. Soon after his ar rest, Gilcrease, an officer of the Ex- change Trust Co.,, of this city, was taken into custody The connection between the banking institution and the oil company was not made known
 According to the information ob- tained by the government the petro- leum oil corporation of America was organized under the laws of Delaware and by advertising circulars falsely represented that its capital stock amounted to s6O,Ooo,ooo. The circu- lar also stated that the corporation had no stock for sale and operated rich oil fields taking in 31 companies. It claimed ar in iome ofJ'fM lhae $50, ,000, ,000 a year.
