Making a Fortune by Means of Pos
tage and Glowing Letters Not So
Easy Now Suits Brought Against
New York Swindlers to Be pressed.
New York, June 7. Miking a for
tune in New York by means of some
postage stamps and fluent use of the
English language Is not going to be
bo easy in tbe future as it has been In
the past, according to United States
District Attorney Henry A. Wise, as
he talked regarding the success of the
government in Its first two big cases
against fake stock selling concerns.
By the recent conviction of Oeorge
H Munroe and six of the officers of
Ihe United Wireless Telegraph com
pany the government has put a damp
er upon the game of relieving men
and women throughout the country of
their money In return for well written
letters and rainbow promises.
Four Cases Pending.
Revelations following the two prose
cutions thus far conducted by the
goernment officials here show that
within three years men and women in
various parts of the United States
sent checks and postofflce orders and
cash to th amount of $6,000,000 to
swindlers in this city. The govern
ment has now four cases pending. In
which It will show that the amount
sent here In response to "come on let
teis" was equally great.
This brings the total to $4,000,000
yearly sent by confiding Investors In
the different states to this city, for
which the government claims nothing
was given In return. Several other
cases of a similar nature are now
pending, with arrests likely any day
When these cases are considered, to
gether with the bticketshop Industry,
poolrooms and other get rich-quick
schemes. It appears that the kind
hearted cititenu of the country are
contributing from $8,000,000 to $12.
OO'.OOO vear.y for the support of men
In this city who have been educated to
believe there is no work like working
the people. This would be a little
less than $35,000 a day, and how far
helow the truth this may be Is indi
cated that at the time of the raid upon
the Burr brothers, whose case is now
awaiting trial, $25,000 was found In
the morning's mall of the firm.

Justice Davis in the criminal branch
of the supreme court to five months

NEBRASKA COUPLE DROWNED
Asserts All Objections Will Disappear
After Enactment of Law and That It
Will Be a Benefit to American Farm
erScores Opponents' Methods.
Chicago, June 5. Expressing his be
lief that the senate would have an
opportunity to act on the Canadian
reciprocity agreement during the com
ing week, President Taft made his
final public appeal for the ratification,
chatting thnt the lumber and print
paper trusts are foremost In opposition.
Before a great crowd In Orchestra
hall, President Taft, as the guest of
the Western Economic society, de
clared the bill, If passed at all, would
pass because of the weight of public
sentiment in its favor nnd not because
of t-he desite of the senate to ratify It.
The president's attack on the lum
ber and print pape:- trusts for their
opposition to the t.uiftcation of the
tieatv was scathing.
Salient Points of Speech.
The fnllewltn; kvere among the tell
ing points in hi - address:
'The Interest! are trying to block
the reciproci: agreement with Can
da with hostile amendment?. The
people approve the agreement.
"The American farmer will suffer
no injury ' h.-.tever. On the contraiy,
he will he benefited by It.
."Canada will have 30,000.000 people
some dayi ami it would be a short
sighted policy that would fail to pro
vide meant; to capture this trade.
"Six months from the time the
agre:'n"'nt is rntifled there will he no
opposition whatever from any quar
ter, for th i agreement will prove its
own worth.
Canada CMtnOt and does not raise
more than one .-Mxth of 1 per cent ot
the crop of the United States. The
United States exports into Canada
fifteen times as much meat and dairy
product as Canada Imports into the
United Statf-B.
"The world price of wheat, barley,
rice and oats Is fixed abroad, where
toe surplus of the producing countries
is disposed of. and is little affected by
the place from which the supply Is
derived.
"The reciprocity agreement should
pass the senate, and 1 believe It will
pass."
GEORGE TO OUT DO EDWARD
Parliament Alone Appropriates $925,
000 for the Coronation.
London, June 5. The cost of the
coronation of King George, June 22, Is
going to be so great that there is real
ly no way of arriving at an accurate
estimate. A sample of the profligacy
the people are showing is seen In the
appropriation of $925,000 made by par
liament to defray tbe government's ex
penses. This is $3iil,000 more than
was spent at King Edward's corona
tion. It Is comparatively easy to figure
out what the active participants in the
coronation will spend, but absolutely
impossible more than to guess at the
number of millions that will be spent
by Englishmen at large and by the
I i. ., i . .1 ni ihAnaflnila nf 1'laifnru In
tendon during the week of the corona
tion. Every civilized nation will be repre
sented at the coronation. Isolated
cases give ar idea of the cost. The
Earl of Crew, secretary for India, re
cently lost his family roach in a fire.
He has just had a new one built for
the coronation and for his harness
alone he paid $2,500.

in Lake Near Glenwood Springs.

reservoir belonging to the Antlers Or
chard Developments company, at Har
vey Qap, twenty miles west of Glen

other. The two had been married
but two months.
The boat in which the four young
people were rowing sprang a leak In
the middle of the reservoir. Lewis
could swim a little, but his wife, who
could not swim, threw her arms
around bts neck and held on so tigut-
ly that he was powerless to Ube u..-,
arms.
Enfield shoved Miss Pratt onto the
bottom of the overturned boat and
then tried to save the Lewises, lie
dived after them a dozen times, but
was not strong enough to raise tuein
l.. iii to the surface at the same time
and he could not separate them.
