Go to England to Expose
Tricks of Swindlers From
Lecture Platform.
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.

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

TEACHES A. B. C. OF REVOLT
French Suffragette Breaks Window
When Refused Ballot.
PARIS. 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 "

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.
