JOHN P. QUINN IS LEADER Once Notorious as Smoothest Amer ican Bunco Man Kd Xoyes, Who' Cheated Bank of England by Forgeries, His Xleutenant. LONDON, Aug. 8. (Special.) A ro mance of crime is recalled by the ar rival In London from America of a re markable missionary trio. One Is John P. Quinn, the erstwhile prfnce of sharpers and gamblers and now found er of the International Anti-Gambling Association of New Yorc. Another is Edwin Noyes, the only living one of the four men who in 1873 committed the Kreat forgery on the Bank of Eng land, known as the "millions of money forgery." The third Js George D. Lane, the secretary of the association men tioned. A brisk, alert man of 73, says a Lon don oaner. Mr. Noyes little suggests the clever criminal. Thirty-five years ago, in company with Austin ana George Bldwell, and George Macdon nell, he was sentenced to Imprisonment for life for the crime by which bankers were defrauded of more than a hun dred thousand pounds. 'The plans of the gang, which were almost success ful, contemplated a haul of more than a million sterling. After serving 20 years in prison Ed win Noyes and his companions were released on ticket of leave. The brothers Bidwell died in America, George Macdonnell was killed in San Francisco and only Noyes is left. The rest of his life he intends to devote to rescuing men from the folly of gamb ling, which was his ruin. Describing his exploits of many years ago, he says: Noyes Tells of Exploits. An elaborate system of forged let ters of credit and bills of exchange was planned. Austin Bidwell was the penman' and false letters of credit were readily cashed at banks in Berlin. Dresden, Bordeaux, Marseilles and Lyons. An account was opened at the Bank of England by Bidwell in the name of F. A. Warren, and his credit was at that time never questioned. A slight mistake in spelling the word "endorse" with a "c" in a bill drawn on Buenos Ayres led to questions, and only $50,000 instead of 1,000,000 was realized from South America. Then another tiny mistake ruined it all. A forged bill of exchange drawn on a city firm required two endorsements, only one was provided. "I had been to the Bank of England one morning and drawn 18.000 pounds ln notes and gold, and about mid-day I returned for more money, w nen i stepped up to the counter to my sur prise I was surrounded by bank clerks and private detectives and arrested. I was remanded 24 times a record num ber at the Mansion House before I was sentenced with the others. A plan was thought out of escape from the Old Bailey. Warders were to be bribed, but there was some muddle. A hundred sovereigns intended as a bribe were upset from a bag in their haste and scattered all over the roadway." Writes His life Story. To find funds for his campaign, Mr. Noyes decided to write the story of his life to include the correct statement of the essential facts of the colossal forgery on the Bank of England, and the book, entitled "One of the Four in a Million of Money," is to be published shortly. Mr. Noyes. having had his ticket of leave cancelled by H. J. Glad stone has signified his appreciation of the fact by dedicating the- book to the present Home Secretary. Noyes' trial cost the Bank of Eng land altogether $245,000. After being sentenced the four prisoners shook hands and promised ' that In order to know what each would be thinking about on a particular day they would read a chapter of the Bible beginning with the first day of the sentence and with the first chapter. It took them 1100 days to reach the last chapter. The anti-gambling crusade which was so successfully completed in the United States, is to be carried out throughout the length and breadth of England. Mr. Quinn, it is said, was acknowledged by the foremost Amer ican sharpers to ' be the cleverest of them all. In his time instead of going about looking for dupes, he waited until he found the robbers and himself robbed them. At the height of his career he was a wealthy man, now, owing to his self-abnegation ne is comparatively poor. To him Mr. Noyes owes his conversion. Prefer Simple Life. If they chose these two men could probably make a big Income by card sharping, ' with, of course, the usual attendant risks. Instead, they prefer to travel this country and by practical and ocular demonstration at lectures arranged under the auspices of various organized bodies here, prove to the in nocents the Impossibility of their ever getting the better of the practiced sharper. Every conceivable description of gambling machine, the majority hav ing been captured from gambling hells both in the United States and on the Continent, Is produced to prove the crookedness of the gambler's game, and to show that in the hands of an experienced operator the man who stakes his money cannot hope to win. SPECIFIC FOR SUNSTROKE Chloroform, Say French Physicians, Will Cure Attack. PARIS, Aug. 8. (Special.) French physicians have found a new and, they say, absolutely Infallible remedy for sunstroke. It Is chloroform. They say that the gravity of a case of sunstroke is proportionate to the amount of fatigue the patient has un dergone Immediately preceding the at tack. In Its worst form there la syn cope, accompanied by intense cerebral disturbances liable to result in death. The therapeutics of the malady have long been obscure. The commonest remedies have been bleeding, cold ap plications, etc. The new treatment is simply chloroform given by way of in halation or swallowed in a dilution of water. The reason fqr this beneficent action of chloroform in cases of sun stroke may be given in a few wolds. The syncope, the collapse, the fainting, which are the most serious states, are not due, as has been thought, to mo mentary paralysis of certain nerve ganglia, or to any exceptional rigidity of the cardiac muscles; they are due solely to the exceptional work the heart has been called upon to do. The heat has accelerated the normal rhythm of the heart. It has overworked It. The veritable paralysis which ensues is the logical consequence of this over exertion. On the other hand the very fatigue of the cardiac muscles permits the cir culatory system to be flooded with ver itable organic poisons, which ultimate ly come in contact with the cellular elements of the brain, irritate them and produce, by the reflex action, a con vulsive condition of the cerebral cen ters. Now, chloroform calms the move ment of the heart, diminishes the ex citability of the nerve ganglia and, in almost every instance, cures in a few moments. In France, and especially in Southern France, orders have been given for its use in all emergency cases. E VEII; may be lifted from LOXG-CONCEALEI MYSTERY. Sensational Paper Read Before San itary Congress In Wales Horses and Cats Eaten In Disguise. LONDON, Aug. 8. (Special.) The "sau Bage danger" took up a great part of a day's session of the Sanitary Congress, just held at Cardiff. Dr. William Savage", of Colchester, read a paper on the exami nation of sausages and their hygienic preparation, and said tnat sausages, like life, were very much in the nature of a mystery. By popular tradition into them were supposed to go all manner of unlaw ful substances, from poor. quality of meat at best to horseflesh and cats at worst. Not a few cases of food poisoning had been traced to their consumption. That more cases of disease were not ascribed to their use, was he believed, owing to the efficient cooking they generally received. Their preparation, he urged, should be subject to supervision. They generally contained rather over 50 per cent of water, and -spices and flavoring agents added mualr oarlv Hpinm nosl tion.

Aug. 8. (Special.) A little uVirmish in the women's war for the vote was fought yesterday in the Seine Correctional Court. Madame Madeleine Lepelletier. doctor or medicine, was the rhamoion. At the municipal elec tions last May she presented herself at the polling station of her district and said that she came to vote. On being refused she took a stone from her pocket and threw it through the window. To defend her conduct she came to court surrounded by a cohort of young and charming women. She said: "I broke the window because I wished to symbolize the women's agi tation; to make the movement con crete." ( "By breaking windows?" asked the Judge. "Certainly. It was the act of a teacher. . I wished to teach women the a b c of revolt." "But you should address yourself to the legislators." "But we are not voters. They listen politely but without interest. They are charming but platonic." The judge cut the discussion short by fining the lady three dot " I-EHZIZ HAS FAITH IN EUROPE Star of Morocco's Prodigal Sultan Is" Again in the Ascendant. . MULAI HAFID WILL LOSE Pretender Represents Fanatics and Irreconcilables, Says Lawful Rul er, and Cannot Expect to Re tain Temporary Advantage. TANGIER, Aug. 8. (Special.) Abd-el-Aziz' star Is again in the ascendant and Mulal Hafid's power appears to be on the decline, probably owing to his extreme cruelty to the natives. Abd- ; el-Aziz has received another 500,000 ' pesetas to assist his march on Marra kesh. The whole of the Maghznn will accompany him. It is stated that Mulal Hafid intends to abandon Fez, and es- ' tablish his court at Mequlnez, ae the ' people are dissatisfied with the enor- ; mous tributes which they are compelled ' to pay. The exodus of Abd-el-Azir." harem continues, and the other day 80 ' women were sent off to Casa Blanca on mules. There are altogether 300 wom en In the harem. Only 20 will accom- pany the Sultan to Marrakesh. The ex traordinary caravan of odalisques, all rigorously veiled, was accompanied by , slaves, and escorted by a few Moroc can regulars. Most of the women have been presented to the Sultan by im portant kalds, and In some cases are even the kaids' own daughters. On being asked for his opinion of the present state of the country, Abd-el-Aziz said that the gravity of the situation did not distress him. as ha had confidence iri Europe, with whose demands In the Interests of civilization he had gladly complied, in face of the opposition of his people. Pins Faith to Europe. "Europe," he eaid, "has caused my ruin; Europe will sustain and save me. Europe has placed confidence in me. and I shall now place my confidence in her. I could have proclaimed the holy war at Fez after the events at Casa Blanca. or could have proclaimed my brother at Marrakesh. Then I should have had my people with me and my brother at my side. , "But I have no regrets. I was the first to become convinced of the neces sity of a change in the old order of thinga in Morocco, and I preferred to keep my engagements with Europe, rather than to fight against her, be cause then Morocco would have been ruined and captured forever. "Mulal Hand represents the fanatical and irreconcilable party, and if he should be recognized by Europe on con dition of accepting the Algeciras con vention, the same party which today acclaims him would revolt against him, and another pretender would arise. He would be the leader of the fanatics who wished to have no dealings with , Christians. The situation is, there fore, very clear. Explains Ills Extravagance. "I know that in Europe falee opin ions about me prevail. Above all, it la believed that I am anxious only 1 to amuse myself. I know that the de struction of my property at Fez by my brother has been gaily commented upon by some newspapers, even by English ones, whose correspondents were at one time the first In wishing to help me. I have been charged with having or dered hundreds of thinga that I did not really want, but against this I can de fend myself. Once I wished to see a piano, and was told that pianos were 1 sold by the dozen. So, Instead of one, . I received 12. "I was also Informed that motor cars were bought by the dozen, and bicycles by the hundred. Once I want ed to learn photography, and the order ' which was given amounted to 250.000 ' francs for stuff for which 5000 francs 1 would have been sufficient. Hundreds 1 of pints of developing and fixing solu- ; tions were brought to me,, which tj should never have been able to use In J my life, and, as the heat at Fez ruined ; these products, thousands and thou- j sands of francs' worth had to be thrown away. ' Pitilessly Exploited Him. "All these legends which are in cir- , culation about me have the same : foundation. My providers, in league ; with faithless Ministers, exploited me 1 pitilessly. But now, happily, it Is all over. Now I am concerned only with j settling the situation in Morocco. In j future I shall be, like my father, al-; ways on horseback. I shall stay only ! two months in Marrakesh, where I I shall pacify the country. Afterward I j shall go to Fez and bring to obedience mv rebel brother, who, abusing the confidence which I reposed in him, wished to take away my crown. One of my ancestors said1 that Morocco Was : like a box full of rats whlcn, unless 1 they were perpetually beaten, would end by making holes and getting out , to trouble the peace of the house. I j have stayed too long In Fez; now I ; shall be everywhere. I shall go all over Morocco every year. Abd-el-Aziz impresses one as being Intelligent and extremely amiable per- 1 sonage, accurate in his appreciation of ; the situation of his country, calm,-and. without any preoccupation, but, of course, his Mussulman fatalism ielps to endow him with a tranquil mind. Mulai Hafid's Stand. Mulal Hafid says he is "determined , to know the attitude of France toward him." If she attempts to restore Abd- ; el-Azlz to the throne, he will call all I the tribes to his support, and they will j "die to the last man ratner man sur- . render the independence of the coun-j try." Mulai Hafid is prepared to abide ; by the Algeciras act till the country , is settled, but afterward he would call a fresh conference. Fez, where Mulal ' Hafid Is still located, is one large armed camp, and the former troops of Abd-el-Aziz are drilled dally in the interests of the hew Sultan. 1
