that had it not been for the bank
ruptcy proceedings he would have
been able to tide over his present em
barrassing situation with the aid of
prominent Chicago and New York
financiers. Who these men were he
said he would not say.
While Bischoff was being examined,
police warrants charging operation
of a confidence game were issued for
him. for his brother-in-law, E. J.
tieer. and his clerk. Joseph Klorek.
The warrants were issued at the
request of a dozen persons who said
Bischoff had obtained money from
them under false pretenses.
Sidney Eastman, bankruptcy ref
eree, opened his hearing by question
ing a number of Bischoffs customers
in. the get-rich-quick schemes he was
alleged to have promoted and at the
same time arrangements were made
to open several' bank safe deposit
vaults to find out Just what assets
the -5- oar-old speculator has to meet
his liabilities.
Hundreds flocked to the offices of
Leslie Harrington to tell of their deal
ings with him. Harrington, who has
disappeared, was said to have ob
tained more than $1,000,000 in al
legedly illegitimate transactions.
New Receiver Appelated.
At the same time Judge Landis ap
pointed a receiver for the Western
uind Operators' company. Judga
landis said it was indicated that
Bischoff. Harrington, the land com
pany and others were working along
similar lines, and that they might
have been working together.
The raid on the offices of the West
ern Land Operators' company was
made last rright at the request of 300
creditors. Just as the police believed
they have established a connection
between the work of Bischoff and
Harrington, so have they come to the
belief that the Western Land Opera
tors" company was connected with
the other two, and that the three
were operating huge swindles Jointly.
Harrington's rise in high finances
was even more rapid than that of
Bischoff. the government Investiga
tors said. Starting when he was
practically penniless, according- to the
investigators, and upon the sugges
tion of ex-agents of Bischoff who
wanted to use him as a figurehead
for their own benefit in organizing an
Independent company, he obtained
desk room in the office of an attor
ney, hut his business grew to such
proportions that in a month he had
established his own office and hired
many of Bischoffs men.

Sunday Uiey luud. A Lithuania, po

several shots into the ceiling and de
parted with $7000 in cash.

Bids Made in Good Faith.
The view of President Harding,
Secretary Denby, Chairman Lasker
and President Powell of the Emer
gency Fleet corporation was said to
be that there would be nothing to
Justify the government in throwing
out the bids already made on the
Leviathan and in asking new offers.
The bids, it was declared, had been
made, in good faith, and the govern
ment had nothing to do witti favor
ing one community at the expense of
another in awarding such contracts.
Furthermore, it was added, the gov
ernment was not attempting to take
on any more business ventures, but
was trying to get out of business.
In discussing the proposed new
American trans-Atlantic steamship
service today shipping board officials
said that among those who had ex
pressed a desire to bid for the fleet of
four vessels, to which may be added
four new ships of the 535-foot class,
were the Roosevelt bteamship line,
the Moore and McCormick of the
Brady interests and the Harriman
Steamship line. There was also
