CHICAGO. Nov. 30. Postal authorities
nd other Government officials today un
earthed alleged frauds by several under
writing and incorporating companies,
fald to be the greatest ever perpetrated
in Chicago. Early in the evening seven
men involved in alleged fraudulent under
writing: schemes were arrested on Indict
ments returned by the Federal prand
Jury, in which they were asserted to have
used the United States mail to promote
fraudulent underwriting, and late tonight
two alleged- comrades of the men arrested
earlier in the day were arrested in con
nection with fraudulent schemes.
According to the Federal authorities,
the men accused of operating the swin
dles had many victims and obtained
nearly a million dollars by the scheme.
The names of the men arrested and the
companies with which the Federal au
thorities say they are connected follow:
w: J. Root. W. H. Welch, vice-president,
and W. D. Hurlbut, secretary of
the Central States Underwriting & Guar
antee Company; Charles Endicott Brown,
president of the Prudential Securities Cor
poration, brokers; Frank S. Winslow.
president of the American Corporation &
Security Company; Ezra C. Karnum,
president of the National Stock & Guar
antee Company and the Bankers' Credit
Mercantile Company; David O. Owings.
National Stock & Guaranty Company;
George J. Monroe, arrested in his home
at Joliet; Frederick C. Struckmejer.
Hurlbut. Foot and Welch were taken to
the United States District Court and gave
bonds of $.Vk"ia each for their appearance
for trial. According to the postal authori
ties, the other men who were arrested
were locked up in jail because they were
unable to secure bonds.
Swindlers Plan of Operation.
The alleged fraudulent cperation of the
men, as explained by the postal authori
ties, is that the underwriting companies
were In league with certain brokers with
whom they divided the fee taken for
the supposed underwriting, which was
never done by the alleged underwriters. '
The plan by which the swindles were
carried on. it is alleged by the Federal
authorities, involved representations in
the United States mails that the under
writing and guaranty companies had
Riven trust companies certain assets and
collateral security to indemnify bonds
given the investors until the time the
bonds matured. The corporations were
given bonds at maturing periods all the
way from 2n to 40 years.
Gathering in Suckers.
In using the mails to circulate their
methods of doing business the alleged
fraudulent companies Informed corporate
enterprises desiring money that they
could secure funds by calling at the
Chicago offices. On arrival in Chicago the
corporation officials would he introduced
to alleged capitalists who represented
that they had available capital to finance
business propositions and would buy the
underwritten stock, provided the cor
poration officers would have them under
written by responsible guaranty com
panies. It is asserted that these alleged
capitalists would then advise that the
work be done by the Central States
Underwriting & Guaranty Company, the
American Corporation & Securities Com
pany or the National Stock & Guaranty
Company, of San Francisco.
The brokers in the alleged fraudulent
transaction represented to the proposed
victim that they would get no compensa
tion for their work unless they actually
sold the stocks and they would be con
tent with a commission of from Va to 1
per cent on such stocks as they sold.
The victim was assured there could be
no doubt that the stocks underwritten
would realize, as the capitalists to whom
the victim had been introduced would be
certain to buy them. The brokers would
then take the men seeking the under
writing to the offices of the Guaranty
Company and arrange for guaranteeing
the bonds on payment of a fee of l per
cent of the amount of underwriting.
Dividing the Plunder.
The Federal authorities assert that in
each case the underwriting company was
given a fee and that in many cases the
officers representing the. company seek
ing the underwriting had scarcely left
the underwriting door by the front office
hefore the broker who introduced the
capitalist would enter through another
entrance and get half the underwriting
fee. and the underwriting venture would
then be closed by the underwriters and
the brokers, no attempt being made to
t-ell the stock
The Government officials say the men
arrested never entered Into a proposition
in which less than $10n.C"Xi was involved
and that they In many cases obtained as
much as $5,m.YiO worth of stocks to
underwrite.
SLANDER BLIGHTS HER
(Continued from First Page
her with as deep a sincerity and earnest
ness as though the individual members
had been accused. Many of New York's
most prominent women publicly declared
their belief in her innocence.
Wrecked by Jealous Woman.
But the mischief had been done.
Though she was completely and pub
licly vindicated Mr. Teall's own law
yer apologizing in court for having
permitted her name to be dragged into
the case Miss Cayvan's life was
wrecked, her nervous system shattered,
her hope and courage broken. In the
days of her highest success she had
attached more importance to her good
name than to any other possession.
She had held herself aloof from asso
ciations that In any possible manner
could link her name with scandalous
charges. That she should be singled
out as the object of venomous jealousy
after years of irreproachable life in
the heart of the gay metropolis was
one of those singular hlows of fate
for which there seems no justification.
At the end of the trial she said:
Could Never Forget It.
"I want it all forgotten as soon as
possible, forgotten by the public. I
myself can never forget it."
Eager to rise above her troubles she
accepted a New England manager's
ACQUiR
offer to back her, formed a company
of her own and started a starring tour
of the states. Half wa,y across the
continent, her backer, suffering from
heavy losses, deserted her and left her
to get home as best she could. She
returned to New York, paid the com
pany's debts out of what she had
saved and was ordered by her physi
cian to go abroad for her health. On
her return from this trip she played
ten nights in her last play, which bore
the significant title "A Woman's Si
lence." and then left the stage forever.
Mind Becomes a Wreck.
For awhile after that she lived quiet
ly at her home. 351 West One Hundred
and Twenty-second street, with her
sister, but her friends soon noticed
that something more than mere physi
cal breakdown was the trouble. Brood
ing over the misfortune which she had
not merited, her reason gave way, and
in 1300 she was taken to Flushing,
where for the past seven years she has
been hopelessly insane and so near ac
tual want that a few years ago a ben
efit performance was arranged in her
behalf.
Georgia Cayvan was born in Bath.
Maine, in 1S58. From the time she was
14 years old she supported her sister
and mother, her father having died
when she was a child. At the time
the Teall scandal overwhelmed her
she had saved enough money to be pro
tected from the needs of old age.
Georgia Cayvan was for years a pro
minent figure on the American stage.
Her acting was of the highest order of
artistic merit and her splendid qualities
of mind and heart made her universally
respected and beloved by the public
She appeared in Portland several times,
her last visit having been about 11 years
ago. when she appeared with -the famous
Empire Stock Company in a repertoire
which included "Americans Abroad."
"Charity Ball" and other big successes
of the time. Her work was characterized
by gentle womanliness, and those who
saw her in her prime will feel genuine
regret that such a splendid artist and
sterling woman has passed at such a
comparatively early age.
In speaking of her yesterday, William
T. Pangle, of the Heilig. summed up her
character by saying: "She was the kind
of woman who would teach a Sunday
school class in the morning and act at
nleht. doing both so slncerelv and era-
fciAusly that everybody who came in con
tact with her recognized at once a good,
pure woman and a brilliant one."
When she was compelled to retire, the
stage lost one of its brightest lights and
In her death the world loses a woman
who In the highest sense was a credit
to her sex.

GEORGE OF SERVIA ENRAGED
AT INSANITY STORY.
Terrorizes Premier, Forces Publica
tion of Official Denial and
Abuses Young Bother.
LONDON. Nov. 21. The Vienna corre
spondent of the Telegraph forwards
what purports to be an account of the
official denials of the present condition
of George, Crown Prince of Servia.
When Prince George heard the news
paper reports of his insanity, he
rushed with his riding-whip to the For
eign Office and into the room of Pre
mier Pastes, shouting:
"You dog, you intend to confine me.
your future master? I ll kill you! I ll
trample on you. canaille!"
The Premier had much trouble calm
ing the Prince, who then proceeded to
the press bureau, where Director Ivan
itch, under the orders of the Prince,
composed official denials in his pres
ence. When this was done, George de
parted, flourishing his whip and cry
ng: "These Swabian and Hungarian dogs
shall eat their words!"
Similar scenes were enacted at the
palace, where, the correspondent savs,
the Prince ill-treated his brother.

President Sends Emphatic
Message on Negroes.
IN ANSWER TO PROTEST
Unless Charges Proven False, Dis

Blot Blow to Military Disci
pline, Says Roosevelt.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. A cable from
President Roosevelt, declining to suspend
his order discharging colored troops of
the Twenty-fifth Regiment unless the
facts as known to him are shown to
be false, but expressing his willingness
to hear new facts bearing on the case,
was made public today by Gilchrist
Stewart, of the Constitutional League.
Mr. Stewart cabled to President. Roose
velt at Ancon, Panama, as follows:
"Republican county committee unani
mously denounced discharge of colored
soldiers. Parsons, Olcott, Bennett, com
mittee petitioning department. News
papers emphatic. Development and new
facts warrant ask Immediate suspension
order."
Must Show New Facts First.
The President's reply contained the fol
lowing: "Unless facts as known to me are
shown to be false, the order will under
no circumstances be revoked and I shall
not for one moment consider suspending
It on a simple allegation that there are
new facts until these new facts are laid
before me. Inform any persons having
new facts to have them in shape to lay
before me at once on my return, and I
will then consider whether or not any
further action, by me is called for."
Blow at Army Di&cipline.
Collier's Weekly has received a dispatch
from Its correspondent, who is traveling
with the President, in reply to one sent
asking if Mr. Roosevelt would suspend
action In regard to the negro soldiers un
til he got home. The reply says the Presi
dent's views are "clear and unchanged";
that the disbandment is due to him, and
that the president's view is that the
negro soldiers, in refusing information
necessary to the apprehension of the men
who committed criminal acts at Browns
ville. Tex., struck at the very heart of
military justice and discipline. Had white
troops done the same thing, the reply
says, they would have suffered the same
penalty. In .conclusion the. reply states:
"Be the offenders black or white, the
President proposes to combat race antag
onism by his action In the Brownsville
matter, which was taken in the face of
much adverse influence and advice before
he left. There can be no amelioration of
the penalty until the men concerned show
their sense of duty as citizens and soldiers
by giving up the offenders to justice."

FRED NICHOLAS ACCUSED OF
AGREEIXG TO TAKE BRIBE.
Peter Duffy, a Hanger-on About the
Courts, Indicted for Perjury
in His Testimony.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20. The gfand
jury returned two indictments this after
noon, one accusing Peter Duffy of perjury,
and the other charging Supervisor Fred
Nicholas with agreeing to take a bribe.
Duffy is a hanger-on about the courts,
and was formerly elevator man In the
Hall of Justice.
The charge against Nicholas grows out
of the purchase of furniture for the city.
In the indictment Supervisor Mamlock is
reported as having been the intermediary
between the furniture firm and Nicholas.
No action has been taken as yet against
Mamlock. Duffy was . Indicted in connec
tion with testimony he gave hefore the
jury In the investigation of Supervisor
Nicholas.
When the grand Jury reconvened this
this morning to resume its inquiry into
charges of municipal graft and extorting,
Jean Loupe, a French restaurant-keeper,
who had appeared before the jury last
Wednesday as a witness, again appeared
with the request that he wished to "cor.
rect and reconsider" the testimony he had

given. Loupe was admitted to the grand
jury rooms, and as he remained behind
the closed doors for some time, it is be
lieved that he was allowed to take the
stand again.
Loupe's action this morning is believed
to have been prompted by the rumor that
he was to be indicted for perjury as the
result of false testimony he is said to
have given before the inquisitorial body.
It is stated that Loupe endeavored by
false or erroneous statements to shield
Abraham Reuf. who was indicted for ex
torting thousands of dollars from the
French restaurants. Whether Loupe will
be permitted by the grand jurors to re
consider his testimony and thus escape
the indictment that is said to be hanging
over him is a matter of conjecture.
Juror H. H. Young was again tempo
rarily excused this morning during the
investigation into the restaurant matter.
