it incurred considerable ill will from some of the women.
Their denunciation, however, was not without charity, for
they "pitied the ignorance of the editor,' while stopping
their subscriptions.
.It was proposed at that time by Mr. Lewis, through his
traveling representative, to build a clubhouse for the woni-
f on of Medford. An analysis of the proposition showed
Official Paper of the City of Medford; instead that tllO WOlUOll Ot ModfOl'd WO TO TO l)Ull(l tllO ClUl)-
housc and present it to Mr. Lejvis. That te, if they reaped
the reward of their own exertions.
The Mail Tribune went to considerable trouble to look
up Mr. Lewis' record at the time and the history of his
wildcat schemes. As a result ot tho exposure, no club
house was built, though a considerable number of local
women were duped.
Last week Mr. Lewis' different concerns were thrown
into receivers' hands, fraud was alleged and tho bubble
burst. .It was asserted that Mr. Lewis used the endless
chain system in all of his schemes, paying the debts of
ono with worthless paper securities of the other.
Tho Congressional Record reports a recent speech in
the United States senate by Senator T. E. Burton of Ohio
upon Mr. Lewis and what the senator pronounced his
"nefarious schemes." "All of Lewis' clever writings,''
asserted Senator Burton, "his disgusting flattery, his edu
cational allurements, and association with respectability
are focused m the purpose ot winning confidence ot coun
try people that he might borrow their money on worthless
paper securities."
Continuing, Mr. Burton said:
"In 190S Lewis organized the American Woman's
league as an auxiliary of his publishing company. In his
first literature ho proposed the scheme as a means of pay
ing his debts. Membership in this league was to be secur
ed by sending $52 worth of subscriptions to Lewis' papers
or for certificates of membership. One-half of these re
mittances were to go to pay for subscriptions, the other
half of it used for the benefit of the league membership,
which was to be limited to 1,000,000 persons.
"This was to give the league an endowment of .$2(5,-
000,000; but the league was also to own tho publishing
company, the real estate at University City and a bank,
which would become enormouslv rich through handling the
uusmess ana iiuuis or rue puoiisning company, real csrare
and the league. From these sources the income of the
league was figured to be $3,S00,000 annually.
"Lewis' statement shows that the league is not' paying
its own expenses, that, instead of being run on the income
from paid endowment, it has through Lewis' exclusive
management, used up its entire capital and is $800,000 in
debt. Add to this the $1,200,000 debentures to be paid
later, and we have a debt of $2,000,000 against the league.
On his own statements the funds belonging to the league
and intrusted to him on his promises to give an account of
them have been misappropriated. No endowment has been
made. Lewis has disposed of everything. The league is
$800,000 in debt on his accounting, and members hold $1,-
00,000 In notes besides.
"The great educational university consists, for the most
part, at least, of correspondence lessons. Lewis arranged
for these lessons by contracts with three existing concerns,
and without consent of the intructors associatedwith these
schools catalogued their names. Many of them have never
heard of cither Lewis or Lis university.
"The American "Woman's league is one of the largest
and most alluring and most fraudulent of the schenies of
E. G. Lewis. In the extravagance of his promises he has
attracted women of many classes and temperaments. Cul
ture and educational advantages appeal to their ambition,
a clubhouse appeals to their social instincts and civic pride,
an orphanage for children and a home for the aged to their
charity, and an independent income and freedom from do
mestic drudgery and masculine domination to a discon
tented and unfortunate class.
"Not a single essential promise has been kept. There
is no endowment of the league, nor founders' chapter, nor
annuity, nor orphanage, nor old ladies' home; the league
does not own the land promised it, nor the publishing com
pany, nor the bank; membership may be purchased for
cash; clubhouses are not built as promised; instead of $3,
800,000 annual income, it is, in debt more than $2,0Q0,000.
"The American "Woman's league was a frudulent
scheme on its face. Its record has confirmed its text. It
was a mere name given to the women whom Lewis had in
veigled into his service as subscription agents. lie hoped,
through the league, to defeat postal laws and regulations
under which he had rcrcviouslv been prevented from circu
lating his papers free at the. pound rate of postage. By
promising me women rewuras aim proms mv in excess oi
the cost of subscriptions he induced them to remit in bulk
for coupons for subscriptions, which they might sell or
give away. The remittance would constitute a reward
to satisfy the postal inspectors. The correspondence
courses and clubhouses and association of other publishers
would inspire confidence, and when this was established a
borrowing scheme could be inaugurated to collect mil-
