SELLING GOLD BRICKS.
SEVERAL COMPANIES FORMED
Prominent American Capitalist Inter
tsttd in Exploiting th Rubber and
Mineral Resources of Congo
Fro State.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. The an
nouncement from Brussels yesterday
that concessions had been granted to
the companies to exploit India rubber
resources, to conduct mining opera
tions and to construct a road in the
Congo Free state was verified. The
concessions. It was said, were prob
ably the most valuable ever granted
In the World. The rubber business
Is to be handled by the American Con
go Company, which was incorporated
at Albany about a week ago. The
chief stockholders are Thomas F. Ry
an, the Guggenheimers, J. D. Rocke
feller, Jr., and Edward B. Aldrich, son
of Senator Aldrich. A separate com
pany in which Harry Payne Whitney
will have an Interest with the men al
ready named, will be organized for
mining operations.
The concessions mean, it said here,
the end of the exploitation of the Con
go Free State by Leopold, which
made the King and many of his sub
jects very wealthy.
The consideration to King Leopold
personally and to the Belgian Govern
ment as well as the payment by the
concessionaries Is withheld for the
present.
Fro Goods Man ArresUd by Unittd
State Detective.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. A phase
"free goods" game was brought to
light in the arrest yesterday of Samuel
Krakowskl. charged with having In
his possession paper made In Imita
tlon of that used In the manufacture
of United States bank notes. Accord
Ing to Chief Flynn of the secret serv
ice, the scheme Is to sell the victim a
machine with which to manufacture
I'nlted States Treasury notes. The
claim is made that the machine Is one
which has really been used In the
making of money which has been re
placed by new machines, or that It
was stolen from the Treasury Depart
ment. Good bank bills dampened and
touched up to appear fresh, nre shown
as the product of the machine.
The bogus machines have been sold,
it Is said, to victims for sums rang
ing from $2,000 to $3,000.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Recovery of Women Injured Are in
Grave Doubts.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Miss Helen
Lambert who was injured In the auto
mobile accident In Central Park, in
which Tom Cooper, formerly a well
known bicyclist, was killed, was very
low at an early hour today, and her
recovery was said to be a matter of
grave doubt.
Daniel Backalow another victim of
the accident was also reported in a
serious condition.
The other woman hurt In the wreck
gave the name of Virginia Vernon and
left Roosevelt hospital early today In
care of friends. She suffered only
from cuts and abrasions and from a
sprained ankle. Before she left she
told the hospital authorities that her
name was Helen Leavitt.
Cooper, it was said, was worth from
$50,000 to $70,000 all of which was
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Cause of the Death of Mn. Creffield
Determined.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 20. Coro
ner Carroll this afternoon signed a
certificate stating that Mrs. Maud
Creffield, who died suddenly In the
county jail last Friday night, came to
her death by suicide from strychnine
poisoning. Chemists who analyzed
the contents of the stomach finished
their tests this afternoon and found
the presence of more than enough
strychnine to cause death.
It was stated at the county Jail
immedately after the report was made
that a careful search had been made
of the woman's cell, but that no means
could be found by which she could
have ended he life. So far as the
Jailers can remember, Mrs. Creffield
had no visitors Friday. The day be
fore, however, Miss Laveny, a cousin
of the dead woman, visited her. anil
she was the laet person to see Mrs.
Creffield, with the exception of Jail
ers and prisoners.

Over $20,000,000 Gold Turned Out in
Alaska This Year.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 20. There
Is a strong probability that the Alas
ka gold output for 1906 will exceed
all earlier estimates by a consider
able margin. Recent Information re
ceived here leads to the belief that
the total production for the year will
be $20,000,000. The estimated output
last year was $14,450,000.
The Fairbanks output is not less
than $9,000,000, and these figures in
dicate that Nome has exceeded all
previous records by at least $2,000
000.
This will probably put Alaska in the
second place among all states and ter
mories as a producer or gold, ex
ceeding even California.

President Gomper Not Discouraged
With Effort Mad by Labor
Organiiationt in th Election!,
But Will Continue Fight.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20, -Senator
Kornker has always been reminded as
being optimistic In his tendencies, and
while he tries to take u roseate view
of the results of the recent elections
It is apparent he does not regard "e
result ns an unmixed Republican tri
umph He agrees with, other that the
Republican majority In the House Is
as large a It ought to be. believing
that too big a majority Is not conduc
tive to the securing of the best legis
lation. While he has not avowed him
self a candidate for the Presidential
succession It Is well-known he will
not be averse to accepting that burden.
so, anything he may sny ns to the out
look for 1908 will be accepted as the
candid opinion of one who is far more
than ordinarily well-informed, and
who has a reputation for astuteness.
In politics. As a whole he takes about
th- same view of the situation as was
given In this correspondence when the
result was first known. As to the fu
ture he has this to say:
"While, therefore, we have the House
of Representatives, we have It In con
nection with results In other respects
that should advise us we have reached
the half way point between 1904 and
190S with only a slight margin of ad
vantage. This situation should not
discourage Republicans, but It will en
courage Democrats. They ire already
claiming they have made a wonder
ful gain, and so they have, ns com
pared with the results of 1904, and It
Is easy for them to think that there Is
a trend of public sentiment In their fa
vor. Without stopping to locate the
blame for It. the truth Is that the Dem
ocrats the country over have mure,
confidence that the radical political
Ideas of Bryan and Hearst are not un
reasonable and indefensible than they
have 4ver before had since these men
came Into public life at any national
election. The effect of this Is not on
ly to lencourage and solidify the great
majority of the Democrats, but also to
attract away from us a good many of
our followers. Fortunately, we have
time plough before the presidential
election to correct all this by pointing
out the radical difference between the
Republican policies, which Involve no
thing more than reasonable regulation,
and the crazy crusade which embraces
government ownership an. I almost ev
erything ,-lse that : bail in character
and destrc 'lve In purpose."
These remarks by so distinguished
a leader of the party will cause the
Republicans to tnk thought of the fu
ture, and may have n very decided In
fluence In shaping the legislation du
ring the coming short session. Sen
ator Foraker doeR not believe the Dem
ocratic success will tend to the nomi
nation of Mr. Bryan, but rather to eli
minate him, as well as Mr. Hearst.
He thinks the people have gone as far
as they will go In the direction of ra
dicalism, and that the pendulum will
swing the other way by 190S. During
the week a number of Democratic lea
ders from various States have been In
the city, and the changed expressions
in regard to the probable candidate
two years hence is very noticeable.
Two months ago every Democrat who
vMted Washington was loud In his
assurances that no other name would
be considered except that of the "peer
less leader," but now a suggestion to
that effect Is met by a shake of the
head and a muttered,"It may be so.
Many are free In their predictions
that the candidate will be a new man,
but none can name the man.
It Is trery evident that President
Gompers, of the American Fereration
of Labor Is not disposed to accept his
failure to defeat any of the candidates
on his Congressional blacklist, as put
ting either him or organized labor out
of politics. He declares that orga
nized labor Is In the business to stay
and that from now on will be a more
potent factor than ever before. One
fact has been made evident, and that
Is, organized labor has not yet reached
the stage when it will politically bow
down to one man, and accept his die
turn as to what laws they must favor
or what oppose. Organized labor Is
producing a very large crop of men
who think for themselves, and this will
make it more difficult for Mr. Gompers
or any other man to sway u,,. labor
element as he pleases.
