Chicago, Feb. 13.-Three men
were taken into custody by the po-
lice tonight in a raid of Offices. oc,
cupied by the American Novaoulite
company. The concern was decrar'
ed by the police to have offered
large profits to small investors and
the belief was expressed that the
losses may total $1,000,000.
Those. arrested were Luke Byrne,
president of the company; Thomas
Moran, treasurer, and Anton Leb.
kie, a clerk. Search also was made
for Leslie Harrington, who was de-
clared to have been the real head
of the company but who is said to
have departed for the East today.
According to police the concern
was interested in the making of
roadway materials. One investor,
the mother of four children, told
the police that she had invested ST.
$50 on the promise. that she would
be paid 20 per cent interest. "They
told me that I could draw it out
without even an hours notice." she
said, "but today they told me that
they would have to have lots of
time.
When the police appeared sever
al hundred investors were
storming the Offices. At one side,
however, was a small groop of men
and women waiting patiently to
add to their investments by putting
money into the concern. They re-
fused to believe that the company
was not sound.
With the arrival of the police,
the crowds became more dlsorderly
and as the prisoners were led out
both Moran and Byrne refused to
talk to the police and LLehkie ap-
parently knew little.

YOUTH
HAS ONLY DEBTS
YOUNG FINANCIER TELLS
JUDGE Lands HE HAS ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH.
OWES OVER FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Raymond j..
Bischoff, whose financial operations
are alleged to have ruined thou
sands Of poor investors, who trust
ed him with their life savings, to-
day told Federal Judge Lands at
an inquiry, 81 owe s~4,5O0,OOO and
I have less than $1,000 in cash."
Bischof declared be was only rs
years of age and that he had accu-
mulated liabilities estimated by a
receiver appointed Saturday as
totalling approximately $5,O0O,0O0
in less than two years. He describ-
ed his business as general fnan-
cial business, brokerage and OIL"
and said that he started it in the
spring of 1919 with $4,000.
Asked where he obtained this
money, Bischoff said ne made part
of it working in the stock yards and
that the rest was the result of
stock speculations. He declared
that he had no previous business Elk
periences that he lived at home at
the time and that the, only work he
had done was in connection with
obtaining members for the Boy
Scouts. Under questions from
Judge Lands, he maintained that
his operations were legal. that the
money entrusted to his care was
given him for speculation and that
while it was unfortunate he should
have lost it, he felt he could have
recovered all his losses if the re-
ownership proceedings had not in
terfered.
Despite Bischoff's protestations
that all the millions he had handled
had ben lost, a search was begun
for all possible assets and Judge
Lands issued restraining orders
