Postal Inspectors Find Evi

Swindling Scheme Mil
lion of Dollars May Have
Been Obtained by Bing.
(Hearst Mem by Longest Leased Wire.)
New York, Nov. 7. "The most stu
pendous mining fraud ever operated la
America," according to ' Chief Postof
f ice Inspector W. S. Mayer, was brought
to a sudden halt today by federal au
thorities raiding; the offices of George
W. Emanuel & Co., 57 Fifth avenue,
nue.
Those arrested were Louis A. Prince
and 3, Walter Labaree, who la now con
nected with the Qulbdo Gold Dredging
company of 6$ Broadway. Emanuel
narrowly escaped arrest
by taking
flight for Mexico a half hour
before the
raia was made.
Late tonight Cranston Thomas, sup
posed to' be one of the moving spirits
in the concern, was taken at his gome
in Brooklyn. The operations of the
men now under arrest are believed to
form a vast swindling game, the meshes
of which extend over the entire coun
try, Mexico and part of South America.
Aimed for Millions.
Millions of dollars are believed to
have alreadv been secured bv this gal
axy Of talent while the modest goal at
wnicn tney aimed was 1161,000,000 rrom
the pockets ot the public.
"Th Mississippi Bubble," of John
Law is only the work of an amateur
in comparison with it, said Postoffice
Inspector Elmer L. Klncald. who con
ducted the raid. "It is the most dan
gerous Ket-rlch-oulck scheme ever un
earthed and had it remained unchecked,
It would have compared with the Stan
dard Oil in magnitude."
'ine names of the men involved in
the arrests of today include several
prominent financiers and two well
known bucket shon operators who have
oeen ine ouject or a ponce searcn.
A recent extension of the plans of
these men Included the formation of
several mushroom companies, which now
will never see the light of day.
The mother company Is the "Old Re
liable" Mutual Trust company and under
the fostering care of George Emanuel
& Co., was organized by Louis Prince
and J. Walter Labaree. These men
were the principals In a bucket shop
failure four years ago amounting to
nearly $1,600,000. After that failure
Labaree temporarily disappeared from
view.
Sued by Affinity.
Prince came Into prominence a yenr
ago when his affinity sued htm for
J 100,000 because he had gone back to
his wife. He maintained headquarters
In the office of George W. Emanuel,
recently removed to the Qulbdo Gold

This intimate connection of the for

mer conferee of Prince with the Qulb
do company has also caused the police
to cause an accounting from that com
pany. Its officers are John Drake,
president; J. B. Ellwell. vice-president.
ana a. m. Manice, treasurer.
Drake, who is now abroad Is well
known as the brother-in-law of Theodore
P. Shonts. business associate of John
W. Gates and one of the prominent turf
fian or tne country, jtuuweu is tne Am
rican authority on bridge whist and
teacher of prominent New York society
women. Manlce is of the firm of Man
ice & Co., members of the New Tork
stock exchange. B. B. Pry, the Boston
caDltallst. and Henry C. Granger, the
engineer, are also prominent names in
the fllrectoratp.
The raid of today was most carefully
piannea, ana was tne climax or an in
vestlgation extending over a year, A
special trio to Mexico was made by In
spector Frank M. Hamilton to Investi
gate the claims of the Mexican Mutual
Trust Co. as to its holdings.
Xtspector KIM - Bald.
Today a lonsr cipher dispatch was re
celved from Inspector Hamilton by the
chief Inspector, and the word was given
dv Assistant united elates .District At'
torney Dorr to iro ahead.
Hundreds of checks and thousands of
letters from customers were found in
the offices of the concern, the books
of the company, however,' believed to
contain the list of the people swindled,
were in a heavy steel safe, the keys of
which the prisoners claimed couk
be found. The fraud perpetrated by the
Mexican
Trust Company of Mexico In
their plan of operation was one of the
most daring ever conceived.
In the first place, there are no trust
companies in Mexico under the law.
In the second place, they took for the
name of their property that of the well
known Mexican mine, the Dos Estrellas.
But for their purpose moved It, on pa
per, rrom one portion or tne country to
another.
In the third place, a person by the
name of Larenzo B. Speyer, doing a
banking business of a shady character
in Mexico, was "discovered ' by the pro
moters, and their glowing prospectus
and trading upon his name gave the lm
pression that the well-known banklnt
concern of Speyer ft Co. of New Tori
was behind the enterprise.
Thousand Involved.
The amount of money received In lieu
of the gold embossed oertincates aireaa:
amounts to hundreds of thousands o:
dollars. It was suffloient at least to
maintain splendid offices In the Howard
building, on Jf irtn avenue, ana ajiow an
unlimited "drawing account" to Prince,
who appeared in the management as an
employe. However. It la learned on good
authority that Prince was the lndex
finger. of the hand that moved the des
tinies of the fjrm.
Xhe mail of th'e Mexican Trust Com
pany of Mexico was so seductive that It
Is no wonder, that Its net of correspond
ence that stretched across the continent
brought In many fish. A guarantee of
24 per cent for five years was offered,
and alter that the lucky holder of the
stock was to receive 40 per cent on his
Investment,
The guarantee and charitable pro
moter of the concern hinted at further
gifts of 10 and 15 per cent dividends,
bringing the returns on money invested
up to 40 and So per cent per annum.
All this wealth was to' be dug out of
lost mines once worked for fabulous
sums by the Astecs and early Spanish
explorers.
So far excellent. The prospectus
rolled In a stream, the greedy investors
sent their subscription in by telegraph
and special delivery. . The dividends
were paid and the additional gifts ma
terialised in several cases.
The breaking point of. the enterpris
ing Mexican Trust Company came when
it was discovered that the bonanza which
was paying- so fabulous returns consist
ed of a hole In the ground about 80 feet
long and worked by two men. The "pay

Just a Few Good-bye Sting
ers Before Leaving on
His Tour of Globe.
Boston, Mass.. Nov. 7. On the eve of
sailing for an eight months tour of the
globe. Chancellor James R. Day of Syra
cuse university came out tonight with
a characteristic not snot at President
Roosevelt and W. J. Bryan and bouquets
for Rockefeller, ArchboldC' and the
friends of Standard Oil.
Towering above the newspaper men
that crowded about him aboard the liner
Celtic, the outspoken chancellor declared
that President Roosevelt was not fit to
be at the head of Harvard university.
He said the letters written by John
D. Archbold to Senator Foraker and
other national legislators, made public
during the recent campaign, were per
fectly proper. He Insisted that any
business man had a right to Influence
legislation, and he added that he had
In his possession a great many letters
from Mr. Archbold which he would be
'glad to spread before the public to
show what a sterling character Archbold
really was.
"I thoroughly believe in the sincerity
of Mr. Rockefeller," said the chancellor
impressively. "I believe Mr. Rockefeller
declared himself honestly. I know of no
reason why his sincerity should be
called In question. In fact, to call his
sincerity In , question and to represent
him as Indulging in a political trick
indicates one of two lamentable condi
tions In this country.
Ah, Those rine Oil Magnates!
"It Indicates either a political In
sanity which renders people Incapable
of calm reasoning and of injustice to
their fellow man in the excitement of a
Folitlcar campaign, or an extremely low
orm of demagoguery. So far as Mr.
Taft's denunciation of Mr. Rockefeller's
declaration as to how he should vote, as
a trick, Is concerned, I would rather
believe that Judge Taft was extremely
urea, exonea unaer tne pressure or tne
campaign, and that
he merely Sllnncd
a judicial
cog. I question the charge
mat Air. Arcnoom was attempting to
bribe Judges, congressemn and others,
as absurd.
"I have known Mr. Archbold for about
2& years and for 15 years of that time
I have known him with the Intimacy of
a brother. I have a very large file of
his letters on all subjects vfrhlob. I would
be glad to spread before the American
I public. The public could then estimate
Lhls character with more soundness and

who will give the world many great
thoughts, who can control an educa
tional Institution on the politic of
Harvard and who can serve tne people
of the country without bluster, then
they will have a worthy successor to

"All of these qualities are found in

a man and it is ridiculous to place them
