Untermyer Says Thieves Are
Crying "Stop, Thief!"
TRYING TO OBSCURE ISSUE
Forgery Alleged Against Policyhold
ers' Committee Employes, Includ
ing Scrretury Scrugham Dam
aging Evidence by Women.
XBV YORK, April 30. Sensational 're
sults have quickly developed in the In
quiry by the District Attorney's office into
the recent election of directors of the
New York Life Insurance Company.
George Scrugham, manager of the Inter
national Policyholders' Committee, which
inspired the present Investigation, making
grave charges . against those who con
ducted the election, was himself arrested
at Albany tonight, and put aboard a train
for New York.
Scrugham is charged with conspiracy,
and he was the third man Identified with
the International Policyholders' Commit
tee to be taken into custody since noon
today. The others are Charles Stirrup
and Charles P. Carrington. These two
were not members of the committee, but
were employed as watchers from the
committee at the election. Stirrup was
a watcher at the directors' election of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, while
Carringlon acted In a similar capacity at
the New York Life election.
Conspiracy and Forgery.
They are specifically charged with hav
ing "unlawfully conspired together for
the perversion and destruction of the due
administration of the laws of the State
of New York with relation to the election
of the directors of the New York Life
Insurance Company.' Stirrup, it was al
leged, was employed in the office of the
policyholders' commltteee previous to De
cember IS, and the offense with which he
is charged was committed prior to that
date.
Barlier today Jacob Prank, a New York
Life Company agent, was arrested,
charged with forgery In the third degree.
TYank had been summoned to explain the
signatures of several policyholders to al
leged forged ballots cast at the recent
lection of directors of the New York
Life. It is said Frank made a statement
to Assessist District Attorneys Smith and
Nowe. that will affect the prosecution of
the ballot-box cases if any Is undertaken.
Fought Adininintration Ticket.
The policyholders' committee, headed
by Scrugham as manager and Samuel
Untermyer as counsel and with a mem
bership of many distinguished persons in
this country and Europe, fought the ad
ministration ticket in the recent elec
tions of directors of the New York and
Mutual Life Insurance Companies.
Scrugham was arrested while in Albany
in connection with insurance legislation
looking to the reform of insurance com
pany elections. He was expected here to
night, and was awaited by representa
tives of the District Attorney's office on
the train which reached the Grand Cen
tral station at 10:10 o'clock. When he did
not arrive, his arrest' was ordered in
Albany.
Cry of "Stop, Thief!"
Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the
policyholders' committee, gave out the fol
lowing statement tonight:
My attention was only called to the com
plaint late tonight. During a considerable
part of the campaign I was in t Europe, t
know nothing about the subject of the
complaint except what I have Just heard.
Hut if looks on Its face very much Ilk. a
cry of "Stop, thief!" on the part of the com
panies. They know that the forgeries on
the part of the companies ran into the
thousands and that they would like to ob
scure the issue. I have no doubt Mr.
ScriiKham will he able fully to meet this
lateyt move on the part of the companies to
cover their tracks.
Since the elections in both the New
York and Mutual Companies on December
IS, the District Attorney's office has been
looking into the counter-charges of
crooked work by the administration party
and the policyholders' committee. Rep
resentatives of both sides have been
heard and many be Hots have been ex
amined. Nothing definite was done, how
ever, until after the official count was
announced, showing the administration
tickets to be the victors by large ma
jorities in both companies.
Wherein Crime Consisted.
Carriugton, Stirrup and Scrugham
were in the District Attorney's office
yesterday and examined separately. To
day four women clerks employed by the
policyholders committee in preparing
ballots were examined. Soon after
that the complaint against the three
policyholders' committee employes was
drawn . up. Stirrup and Carrington
could not secure- bail and were locked
tip. The three prisoners will be given
a hearing tomorrow morning.
In tiie complaint Mr. Howe declares
that the alleged conspirators had In
their possession on December 15, 1906,
a large number of ballots for the pol
icyholders' committee ticket, which
were not at that time, according to the
complaint, in proper form to be counted.
The complaint further asserts that the
SURANGE ANTIS
prisoners "did conspire together to tam
per with the said defective ballots and
so altered and changed them without
the consent of the policyholders who
had signed them as to make them to be
in due form of law and proper "to be
counted at the said election."
Signatures Forged on Envelopes.
Many ballots, it is further complained,
were not enclosed in envelopes which
hud been signed by the policyholders, as
required by law, that the insur
ance inspectors of elections might be
deceived and count for the policyhold
ers' committee ticket a large number
of ballots which were not valid and en
titled to be counted. The complaint
adds that the persons named caused a
large number of the ballots "to be al
tered. Including the forgery of names of
policyholders and of witnesses," and
had them delivered to the board of In
spection. Mr. Howe makes charges on "informa
tion and belief, which came to him from
Miss Anna Mason, Miss Evelyn Miles and
Mrs. Francis Goldsmith, who were em
ployed by the policyholders' committee."
Miss Mason, Mr. Howe says, told him
that . one of the men under arrest had
Instructed her on Sunday, December 16.
to take certain ballots for the policy
holders' committee ticket and to copy tne
name of the policyholder and his address
and policy number on envelopes, one for
each ballot. She did so, and she added
that in the previous few days she had
seen a large number of the envelopes on
which she wrote names as well as the
ballots at the office of the inspector ..of
elections. '".
Imitate the Original, ,
Miss Miles declared that she was' In
structed to Imitate as nearly as possible
the policyholder's signature. The com
plaint says Scrugham admitted he filled
In certain envelopes and told the girls in
the employ of the committee to fill in
others.
Carrington and Stirrup were released
from the Tombs late tonight on bail.

GUATEMALA CITY. Aprii 30. Estrada
Cabrera, president of Guatemala, nar
rowly escaped assassination today. He
left his private residence at 7:30 o'clock in
the morning for his customary drive, ac
companied by his staff. While he was
passing along Seventh avenue, an explo
sion, at first supposed to have been
caused by a. bomb, occurred, killing the
horses attached to the presidential car
riage, wounding the coachman and Injur
ing several staff officers, including Gen
eral Orellena. the chief of staff.
The president, who was not injured,
displayed great presence of mind. Alight
ing from the carriage, he inspected the
surroundings and then returned on foot
to his residence. A careful examination
showed that the explosion had been
caused by a mine. The conspirators dug
a tunnel from one of a group of houses
rented by a man named Rafael Robil,
placed explosives under the roadway and
connected them by a wire with a bat
tery in Robil's house and from there
discharged the mine.
Many suspects have been arrested.
Peace prevails throughout Guatemala and
the government officials say they have
the situation well In hand.

believe that it is possible to "be warned

in advance of the shock. Tests are now
in progress at Manila as the result of

.CHICAGO, April 30. (Special.) The
largest brokerage house In the world,
Charles G. Gates & Co., is to go out of
existence.. Partners of the firm acknowl
edged today that they had decided to
quit business. Rumors to .he effect that
Gates & Co. intend to retire had been
heard for some time, but the members of
the concern had denied the reports In an
emphatic manner .every time the ques
tion was put to any of them.
The past denials and today's confes
sion of liquidation are- explained by the
remark that, when the reports were first
heard, the firm's liabilities were so heavy
that an acknowledgment of dissolution
would have meant ruin to the house and
a second panic on the Stock Exchange.
i- . vBig Peht Cbiisos "Dissension.
Charles G. Gates & Co. owed approxi
mately $90,000,000, All of which represented
Wall-street deals. These staggering lia
bilities were accentuated by the fact that
grave dissensions had broken out among
the 12 partners. Several of the latter ob
jected, not only to the enormous obliga
tions the firm had incurred, but to the
manner the debt had been piled up. It
was charged that the. chief special part
ner, John W. Gates, was responsible for
one-half of these liabilities, and it was In
sisted that this be reduced, It not liqui
dated, at once.
The determination of three of the
general partners to have this settle
ment was the beginning of the end.
The New York banks scented trouble
and demanded that the firm take up
its loans. The larger part of these
obligations consisted. of loans on Ten

Germany's Critics

STILL DEVOTED TO PEACE
Will Not Try to Prevent Discussion
at The Hague by Other Powers.
Keichslag Resents Speech
Maild ' by ' Carnegie.
BERLIN, April 30. There was a general
debate in the Reichstag today on Ger
many's foreign relations. Incidentally
Andrew Carnegie's recent reference to
the decision of the issue of war and peace
as being in the hands of Emperor Wil
liam was criticised and classed as a dis
tortion of facts. Speakers of - various
parties suggested to Chancellor von Bue
low that Germany should take no part In
the discussion of the limitation of arma
ments at the Hague peace conference.
The Chancellor replied that Germany
did not object to letting other powers
discuss the matter, but would hold aloof.
Prince von Buelow referred to the recom
mendation of the first peace conference
ut the Hague that the powers study the
question of the limitation of armaments.
He added:
No Formula for General Treaty.
Germany has complied with this recommen
dation, but has not found a formula which
takes into account the great diversity in the
georraphlcai, economic and military condlttous
of the various states or one which would be
calculated to remove these diversities and
serve aB a basis for a treaty. So lonr as
there is not even a hope for a satisfactory
solution of this question and no method for Its
rmctical apvlieatioji ex!K v cani.ot -expect
anything from Its discueaion at a confer
ence. .
The Chancellor said the mere prospect
of a discussion of the question of the
limitation of armaments had a disquieting
effect upon the international situation.
He continued: .
Peace by Readiness for War.
Germany's abstention from -.the . question
does not mean that she cherishes a secret de
sire for war or that she is actuated by mili
tary ambition or other selfish motives.- Other
powers feel the same as Germany regarding
the limitation proposition, and many friends
of peace in France, Great' Britain, Italy and
the United States think it would not serve
the cause of peace to give way to illusions and
lose sight of realities. Germany hitherto has
secured peace by keeping in readiness for war.
This policy has been proven wise. We never
once misused our military strength and never
will. Many persons have advavd us to take
part in the discussion of the limitation of ar
maments in order to show Germany's good
will, since nothing can come of the matter
in any way. But Germany's peaceable policy
SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN
has been m sufficient answer to all the asper
sions. "Germany does not wish to prevent
other powers from discussing the limita
tion of armaments, if some practical re
sult is reached by such discussion, Ger
many will conscientiously examine
whether It harmonizes with the protec
tion of her peace, with her national In
terests and with her special situation."
Indorse Efforts, for Peace.
The Chancellor reminded the Reichstag
that his position had been Indorsed by
speakers representing all the parties in
the house, and added:
"Supported by this unanimity, Germany
will show by her course at The Hague
that she sincerely indorses all efforts cre
ated practically to promote peace, civili
zation and humanity."
The Chancellor discussed other phases
of Germany's foreign relations, endeavor
ing to allay the nervousness In Germany
respecting King Edward's visits to Presi
dent Fallieres, King Alfonso and King
Victor Emmanuel.
Answer to Carnegie.
Andrew Carnegie's recent utterances to
the effect that the decision of war or
peace lies In the hands of the German
Emperor called out a decided protest by
Baron von Hertllng, Clerical. He said he
recognized the fact that Mr. Carnegie's
speech was thoroughly friendly to Ger
many, but It was "an illustration of the
misconceptions entertained abroad re
specting Germany as being an autocratic
ally governed country."
Germany was headed by complicated
political, mechanism, . in which a foreign
policy which opposed the will of the Ger
man people was Impossible.
Dr. Winckler, Conservative, took excep
tion to Baron von Hertllng's recognition of
the friendly character of Mr. Carnegie's
words, which the doctor regarded as a
distortion of facts, adding:
"It Is a singular idea to represent Ger
many and the German Emperor as dis
turbers of the world's peace."

Mine and Causes Husbanding of

lie Rescued as Yet.
JOHNSTOWN. April 30. After being; en
tombed since last Friday noon in the
Berwin-White Coal Company mine No.
3S, at Foustwell, m-ar here, the seven
miners who were shut off from the world
by a sudden rush of water caused hy the
breaking of a wall of an abandoned mine,
were rescued at 10 o'clock tonight. The
men were greatly exhausted. Owing- to
their weakened condition. It was decided
not to bring; them out until after the mine
had been drained.
The men were reached at 10 o'clock by
Stiney Rodon and Charles Ream, who
made a dash through 50 feet of water
filled headings. Early in the day John
Bolya, brother of one of the' imprisoned
men. and three comrades made a futile
attempt to reach them.
Second Rescue Party Wins.
They came back half-drowned! and
reported that portions of. the'. head- '
Ings were still completely tilled', with
water and that more pumping would
have to be done before the impris
oned men could be reached. The ef
forts at pumping were then redoubled.
At 10 o'clock the water had o fr gone,
down that it was resolved to make on.o
more attempt to break through ta the
overcast, where it was believed the men
were still alive.
Rodon and Ream volunteered for: the
service. Over an hour elapsed before
either man was heard from and then
Ream came swimming back through' the
heading, bringing the first newa from the
imprisoned seven. The trip nearly . ex- '
hausted Ream. He reported that the.
seven men were alive and all in good
condition, but that until more pumping
was done the passage to the place where
they had taken refuge was Impassable to
those who could not swim. Then It was
resolved to allow them to remuln where
they were until the heading had been
pumped out.
Husband Food and Light.
Ream and his comrade carried to the
imprisoned men simply a Mask of brandy
and a little water. He reported that Mike
Bolya had, since the breaking of the
walls between the abandoned workings,
been in charge of the movements of his
comrades. Bolya . is acquainted with
every turn of the mine. When the Hood
broke out. he led his comrades to the
furthest point .in the heading, where the
"overcast" was situated. Under Bolya's
direction each man before fleeing seized
his lunch basket. When they arrived at
the "overcast" every lamp but one was
extinguished and one by one the lamps
were each burned out until, when they
were reached by Rodon and Ream, there
was but a single light remaining, and that
in danger of running low at any time.
Afraid to Drink Mine Water.
When stock was taken of the available
supply of provisions, it was found that
three baskets were but half emptied.
This scanty store of rations was hus
banded until Monday morning, since when
the men had had nothing to eat. During
the whole time they had gone without
water, fearing to drink the water from
the abandoned workings.
Read said that at the place1 where the
men had sought refuge there had been a
supply of ties left for track-laying pur
poses. With these Bolya and his com
rades had bui't a platform upon which
they had sought refuge and, when found,
they were not only high, but dry.
After-Kffects May Be Serious.
Shortly after 12 o'clock Delaney made
his way to the place where Boyla and
his comrades had sought refuge and
returned with more details concerning:
their condition and experiences. With
in a short time after the flood broke
loose, according to Delaney's story,
Bolya and his companions had rigged
up a pump, wliUh they found and be
gan to pump the water that lay be
tween them and the pit mouth. Into,
a dip on the other side of th'm.
At 1 o'clock this morning the men
had not been brought out of the mine,
although a special train was ready to
take the party to the hospital.
Although tiie seven men am now in
good spirits and in apparently good
condition, th? doctors at the pit mouth
fear that, when they are brought out
into the light, the after-effects may
prove serious.
