Kor years a trusted ofHclal ot the North ern Pacific Railroad company , and a friend of men In high places , his fall , hla tragic doalh and the change of public sentiment concerning him form one of the greatest real life stories of recent ycirs. For months past , relates the San Francisco Hxamlner , ln\o9tlBatlona have been going on In a dozen directions to ascertain the amount of his Bteallngi. Within aeck a compilation hay been made showing that his embezzlements and defalcations reach the enormous total of $1,020,000.

Ho was ono of the most con summate and adroit swindlers known to his tory In this country. A report has Just been mads to Receiver Durlelsh of the Northern Pacific , showing Schulze's defalcations in the Neil hen Pacific land department. The re port goes this week to the United States court for approval In order that poor settlers and mill companies may be credited with the amount ? paid In for lands and their tlt'oa perfected. The money thus paid In Schulo pocketed. Bsforo the 1'aklma Investment company could bo reorganized a thorough Investigation bad to bo made to unearth Schulze's crook edness there. This Is just finished. U has just come to light that over fifteen ycara ag5 Schulze was a heavy defaulter from the Oregon & California railway , now a branch , of the Southern Pacific. In this connection It is claimed that he was guilty of onoNof Uio most dastardly crimes that man can Inflict upon his fellow being. After stealing $25,000 or more , he charged the em bezzlement it ? 1 Ills assistant , an old man who. died In Portland In 1880. This road had a land grant , over which Schultze had full control , after being raado land agent by Vlllard. It wa8 the beginning cf his career of crime. Schulzo's assistant there was WJlllam Moore , an old man. Ills character ha 1 been above reproach. Ono day he died. It was Schulze's opportunity , and ho em brace ! it. A largo defalcation was found and reported to bis superior officers.A cunning story was told , by which the blame wa' laid "on Moore. The railroad officials believed it. The dead man was denounced as a thief. Iy frugality ho had amassed sjino property. The dead man's estate was sued and the amount of the alleged defal cation recovered. His sorrowing family were left practically penniless. WHKRE THE MONEY WENT. " \Vhat \ did Schulre do with this money ? STIIO of It , It Is claimed , wont to Miss Marie AValnvvrlght , he actress , to whom ha was engaged to be marrleJ. The rest is ex plained by the current phrase that "he robbed Peter to pay Paul , " Schulzo had no fcituno of his own , yet ho lnveste-1 fortunes In a number of the enterprises named. He robhecl the Northern Pacific to buy the Ta- coni3 ntreet railways. Ho robbed both to put money into ills Irrigation enterprl He rctbcd them all to- sink mousy In certain to,1.iHlte schemes. Ho robbed them all to get money for fast living He aluays lived bojond his salary Apparently he was a prluco ; n man vhooo income was unlimited , a man who could build railways , own news papers , row ard hU friends and punish h'a enemies ; in short , a man who was cutting a \\lJo swath In the business \\orlti , and who expected that eventually his name would be placed alongside that of a Vanderbllt , nn Aitrr , a Oould or a Rockefeller. Such , in fact,1 was Schulze's object. Horn of aristo cratic I'niFoUn parentage , coming to this coir try when " 0 years old , struggling for n stait , finally obtained the place und power through Henry Vlllard , hip countryman , ho de 'red to contiol , conquer , develop , build up Iho luirtlnvojt , and firmliy when ho had n larpo permanent Income , to Hve In Londcn anil bj known OB onp of the great financiers of the ago. This la 'not Idle comment. Sc'iulzo stated Ills ambitions to hl filends. Ho riitllncd thla plan to them In 1S90 , ulipn lie returned from New York and Washing ton , \\horo he had met and Interested In Ills Bchomos the officers of the big eastern olcc- trln companies und other capitalists. In April , 189S , I.nnd Commissioner Phlpps of the Northern Pacific had obtained an Ink- ? Ilnsr'tliat SchuUe's dealings wc-io not alto- ficthor straight. Schulze wao greatly per turbed when ho received a telegram Dialing thct Mr , Phlpps was on his wnv to Tacnma. Ho had not agreed with Mr. Phlppn In mat ter i of management , and knew that a re quest for his resignation wai noir at Innil. The request came. Srhulro returned nnd stated In the papers that ho would duvnte hlmotlf to the management of Ills cnmpa- nle * .

Three weeks ago , while Mils Marie Waln- wrlght was plavlni ; an engagement at Iho T.icoma theater , a mass of beautiful flowers vrro laid upon Schulze's grave by MUs " \Valnwrlght , who drove wit la a carriage to i visit thn last resting place ot tbo man the liad expected to marry. MlsaValnw right's acquaintance with Echulze covr-rutl a period of three jears , In Juno , 1S93 , a yrena din- patch went out from DulnUi to the effect that JlUsValnnrlght and Schulzo were engaged and would soon bo nurriod. The Htatement vvnj given out , supposedly , by a society woman who 'had removed from Tacoma to Uiiluthvhere her brotner conJuots a neus- papcr. Schulzo wanted MUValnirlght to leave the stage. This the would not So. The evening before he UlilcJ himself he wrote to Mtos Walnw right blddlnK her goodby. Tha letter has never lioen made pal-llc. It related to hU private affalri and v\ai re ceived by Mlu AVnluujlfiht nearly a week cfter his death , Fchulze was morrlctl August IS , 1S70 , at Portland , I1U wife , 7Calo Scliulzo , was a BwcM'tempercd woman , a Imudsomc blonde.

In consisted lmply ot liU household effects , horses , carriages , etc. He had largo holdlrgs of stock In various com- ranles , but the companies are bankrupt and tne stock will be wiped out. Ho did not own the homo Inwhich ho I vcd. Years ago he bought * lx IdW'ot the Tacoma Land c mpany , mak ng ft small cash payment. The company built n house on his plans , Scliulzo giving a mortgage Itl rocuro It. Singularly Iilo effects brought GO per cent more than they vvefe1 appraised for. Dur ing the auction the house was crowded. Many of his former friends and neighbors were there. A tings of romance was given to the sale by the general belief that every thing that Schulzo had was bolter than the ordinary Dozens would bid for each 1 ttle pleco of bric-a-brac. One of the first claims to be filed and al lowed was that of Paul F Mohr , the New York capitalist. Mr. Mohr llveJ In Tacoma when vice president of the Seattle , Lake Shore & Eastern road. When ho went away ho was going to leave his nine at the Union club cellar. Schulze told him that there was no need of paving storage there , but that ho would keep It In his cellar frco of cost. Schulze undoubtedly smiled In his uleevo when the wlno came into his posses sion , It Is needless to sa > that ho drank It up It was very rare old wlno. Mohr was here a few weeks after Shulze's death. He found Schulzo's cellar empty , and promptly presented a chlm for $ G 2.RO , which was allowed by the administrators and ap- prbvcd by the probate court. Mr. Mohr may eventually grt $10 or $15 on his claim. Thlel's detective agency has filed a claim for $1,034.72 , for which Schulze had given his ninety-day note In January , 1894. Detec tives were used by Schulze very frequently. There are all sorts of claims. Florists , ftult merchants , grocers , liquor dealers , moat dealers , milkmen , and oven hie own snrvaas have presented them , In the aegreRato by dozens. Henry Matsumoto , chief Jtpan'sse servant at the house , has filed a claim for ? " > 00 for ten months' services. Schulze owed him for a lear , but paid him $100 just before his death. His other servants and coachman had considerable sums duo them. Even his pnvate secretary , who stood by him through ihl < Mt ani thin was rot i- NATURE OF TUG MAN. To these who did not know Schulzo It seems very strange that his dally associates did not learn of his crookedness. To Intl- mate acquaintance ! ! It Is not surprising. Schulzo was haughty , proud , nervous and overbearing when crossed to a remarkable degree. Say a word In opposition to him and ho would pace the floor , waving his hands , pulling1 thorn" through bis hair and swearing Hko'aotrJoher. To have an Idea contrary to ills "was'a ' crime In his ojes. In his own mind he was monarch of all ho surveyed. Ho knew It all. He was the most nervous and excitable man who ever hold a responsible ) position. Yet he was a brainy man , full of fire and enthusiasm. Ho had an oily tongiio and superb self-respect. When he argued ho carried everj thing before him. There was no other way but hla. These characteristics applied particularly to his dealings with subordinates. Not Infrequently he exhibited them with hlo equals and su periors Those characteristics raved Sohulzn from discovery years ago. Two experts were sent out from St. Paul to check over Uie accounts here. Schulze gave them only part of the books. Even then they thought they perceived some peculiar accounts. They joked Schulzo a question or two. Ho re plied in such a haughty , overbearing man ner that they soon desisted. He endeavored to make them think they were ignoramuses , first for not understanding BO Dlmpla a mat ter and secondly for daring to take up his time with foolish questions. How completely mixed Schulzo left tbo affairs of the Northern Pacific land depart ment is Indicated by the fact that It has taken until the present month to obtain any thing like an accurate report of his defalca tlon thoro. The Tacoma Railway and Motor company , owner of the street railways here , was the most completely milked of. any of the com panies with which Schulzo was connected. If the allegations contained in the big suit now pending in the federal court are anywhere - where near correct , Schulzo committed In thla repect one"of the most daring , gigantic and collualvo frauds to be found In the his tory of American street railways The al leged fraud is so great that even the com pany of which he was president , together with other Into-ests , unite in averring that the General Electric company , tbo North western Thomson-Houston Electric company , together with kindred companies , received from Schulze stocks and bonds to the amount of $740,000 in excess of value received by the company from these companies In the way of cash , electric apparatus and other equipment. Schulze was the great man of Tacoma. Ho ran the street railways , was president of the Union club , owned the finest horses , waa the most hospitable host , had the finest yacht and for many years owned a news paper. When the origins proprietor of the Ledger became vigorously opposed to Schulzo's methods , Schulze joined with Harry Morgan , a notorious gambler , and started the Glpbe. This ho operated most vigorously for five years It was the North ern Pacific organ. It waged a warm cam- pilgn and the original proprietor of the Ledger finally sold his"paper. . Nelson Ben nett bought the Ledger and , as the object of the Glebe had then been fulfilled , Schulzo readily arranged with Mr. Bennett for the absorption of tbo Glebe by the Lodger , In return for which Schulze"received 20 per cent of the capital stock. This ho tubse- quently put up as collateral and Iot. PL\YED TO THE'GALLERY. The incident suows the nature of the man. If ho wanted anything , from a newspaper tea a private car. lie got It. To maintain hU dltjnlty SchulzjS./neeJed a private car. He paid Pullmaifria lMppfor a beautiful car about 1885. HoivyaXita great man to p y to the gallery. "vYhbU a few prominent visitors would gathcf it ) Jils""room he would press a button for a suhordlnato clerk to come in. When the cloik entered he would flourish hl hands , dictate n few telegrams , order him to go out and pay a few thousand dollars to this wan or that , ai d perhaps order that hla prlvito car bo gotten ready tor a trip that night. Tljo elerlc wculd go out and Rinilu and rcuml > hit ! ordinary duties. Merc effect was all 'Schulze wauled. He took chloral to produce sleep and made a study of bulclde. It WAS a favorite theme. Ho hill-fid of It frequently. He had experi mented with polsoruj , and when it first became - came Koown tlmt he had taken his life his friondu supposed that bo had taken poison , Several months previously he hail told them he had taken poison , but it had failed to uor'.t. Sorio bc-Hcvcd that he told the story to create Evmpathy , as he was then feeling dejected. The night before hla death Schulzo de- clucd to a friend : "When a man dors over ) thing h& ran to rnalo a mark for him self and accumulates property , hut is utterly baffled by circumstances for vvlilch ho in in no way responsible. I think he Is justified in committing suicide. " That evening he lu-nt lu letter writing. The next morning ho ate a light breakfast In his loom. Be tween U and 10 n. m. he fired the fatal Kh'ot through his temple. Servants dUcororrd the body about 1 p. m. Snmettilnitr Alxitit lIiinnlH Taj lor.

"Although not duly accredited , It Is con ceded In postofllcc circles that Second As- olstant Postmaster General Nellson Is rc- Bponslbls Tor the recent Introduction of 'spottets' Into the employ of Uncle Sam. " The above rentcnco was spoken to the Washington representative ot the St. Louis Globe-Democrat one day last week by an official close to the throne In the I'ostofflce department. Continuing , the official said : "You very well know the great reputation Mr. NetLnm attained among railroad men for ability In that line previous to his com ing to Washington , and he Is no doubt giv ing the government the benefit of his ex perience. Although the free delivery division is not under Mr. Nollson's command , he lias charge of Uio division cf Inspection , and , of course , ony Innovation In that divi sion looking to the betterment ot oilier divisions Is appreciated by the other lieu tenants of the postmaster general , The UBS of 'spotters' on the railroad has been beneficial for the last thirty years , and de vclopmcnts within the last six months have demonstrated that they will bs strong allies of the government. "After years of energetic toll the present second assistant found himself some years back holding a position of great responsibility with oneof 'tho greatest railroads In the country. In going through the different promotions ho gained a thorough Knowledge of everything connected with a railroad , and , of course , the railroad detective system came under his eye. "Besides watching the financial end of the string , man's labor efUclency came under tha eyes of these detectives , and as a con sequence the railway service today , taking file whole country Into consideration , has " never been better"I speak from experi ence ; I have been. In the railroad business many years. WOIIIC OP THE INSPECTORS. "Not to watch Uncle Sam's treasure box ; then , but to keep a class of employes who nra continually confronted by temptations strictly up to the mark with a resultant benefit to the business world , has no doubt led to ttne placing of the named of a now set of employes on the pay-roll. Postofllce Inspectors specters have done efficient work for years back , but their game Is the postmasters and clerks , both In the offices and on rail way tnlns. With the. adoption of the car rier system thousands of new mea vrera en tered on the poutofllce lists , but they \\eis seldom disturbed unless letters were stolen or men with sUongcr backing politically sought their places. "I cannot recall another railroad man occu pying the second assistant's chair , and this no doubt accounts for the Idea of 'spotters' ' not being adopted before. Last summer without a hint to any one , these new em- ployea were given assignments In the differ ent largo cities , and an a result hundreds of men , who believed their first duty was to do as little work as possible , weredropped from the rolls of letter carriers. Yod may recall the howl that went up from the letter car riers' organization and their friends , all of them claiming politics was causing the dis charges , but the 'spotter' Idea was the cause of It all and very few suffered without cause. These that were unjustly charged were reln- statcJ. "There recently came Into our department a postmaster from Pennsylvania who In sisted upon being allowed to appoint two additional carriers to his force. Ho said the men could not get around with the malls on schedule time and that his people were complaining about the service furnished by his office. We then pulled documents on him that fairly took his breath away. They showed that his force of carriers averaged only seven hours' work a day "and that In truth he could do with one less. Wo sent a 'cpotter' to his city some weeks previous and the tell-tale facts were the result. The post master simply wanted to take care of an additional voter and thought a good kick was all that was necessary to br ng it about. Ho knows different now. 11Tj . , "The Investigation the departmqnt recently eel on foot Is Intended to embrace every department ' partment of the postal service , 'an.d Its prime purpose Is economy , Its secondary purpose the good of the service. Every postmaster in the country tries to secure as much assistance as possible In order to make a record for him self as giving the most prompt and- efficient service to his patrons. It Is the belief of the postmaster general that the forces have thus become unnecessarily large , and that theie are few cities where changes cannot bo made , reducing the number of men and yet giving as good service as now. WATCHING TUG CAIUUERS. "Let me cite an example. All the carriers start out upon their first trip at 7:30 : or 7:45 In the morning. There Is a rule that If they are not back to the office promptly on time a substitute Is put on and they lone the day. If they are late getting out , as they frequently arc , and have a heavy mail , they can not do- [ hcr It In time , hcnco the temptation to hold out mall. If not too much , It is secreted In their pockets. If too much , It Is left at liomc , or with some friend who will not report - port thorn , and then taken up with the next round. It therefore not Infrequently hap pens that mall that should bo delivered on the first morning run is not delivered until the last one In the evening. If all the malls of the day are large. What Is aimed at Is to have the assorting In the office done BD promptly that at the tap of the bell at 7:30 n the morning all carriers will leave in mili tary file with their moll made up. "Another source of trouble with the car riers Is that they will sometimes take a drink. They can not bo prevented from en- .erlng the saloons , for their duties compel .liem to go Into such places , and It takes nit a minute or two to get a glass of beer. This is strictly against order ! ' , and to the credit of the carriers as a class It can bo raid that a case of drunkenness among them a exceedingly rare. "Then again , It sometimes happens that a carrier has a sweetheart on his beat. A few minutes' talk with her makes several people nfss their letters , at least until the next round. When It Is considered that on some , cata about fifty letters a mlnuto are do- Ivered , It will bo seen what a delay of a quarter of an hour moans. DIFriCULTIRS OP DISTRIBUTION. "Talk about a 'massive brain and eagle eye , ' the mail that has the laying out ot route : to that the fewest men can do the no.'t work , must possess them both , and also the generalship of nn expert. There are districts where thcro It a great deal of vvalk- li.g , but very little mrll , and other districts where thcro Is very llttlo walking , but a great deal of mall. It requires a vast amount of study and ppupralnhlp to so district the city that tliTO Is the least amount of UBok'SD talking and the greatest amount of llmo Hived. "Off and oa wr have eels of men watchIng - Ing thn carriers In this city , but as a rule c'jn plaints are few , and , when made , easily corrected , "When ordered out on duty one sol cf 'spotters * goe-s with the carriers on tholr rounds , one ict watches the postofflce , one Jt the trains , and the ether set gathers up the complaints from the citizens , In thin way the source of the complaints Is quickly located and rectified. ' "Uio Inspectors throughout the country sist materially by sending us full and complete reports upon ovcry detail of Innldo maragen-ent , and vi > tend copies of these back to the 'spotters' in the different cities , the latter doing their wrorl : with the must abfduto secrecy tint rsn bo maintained , nml having no comunlc.itlon with those Jc- Hide the office. "Complaints come Into our office mostly In tpots. Sometimes vrefkn E > by with the kicks being awful light , then , all at once , they coma la In a bunch , and wo have to tiustln to keep up. Tim rreale t trouble we liave to contend with Is that the rightful kicKcrd never kick , anil thosevliu litvo no kick coming are continually at It. "For inatanco , a carrier Incurs the dislike nf one or two little people on his route , cm ! they uiako uo their email minds to bare him discharged. In such a r * o the hard working , conscientious carrier flndi the 'spotter' n blessing Inrtcad of a curse. Upon receipt ot such n complaint out goes the ' potter. ' nnd he soon runs down the fact that but two or tltrco people , out of ZOO or 300 , have objections to that particular car rier. Our replies to such complaining let ters nro not usually overflowing with milk and honey , you can rest assured. "Another thing that helps to keep carriers up to the mark Is politic * . Ileforo the civil service gjHti-m went Into effect politi cal opponents of those In office knew that complaints amounted to very little. Now carriers of different political complexion are on the pay-rolls , and If ono of them should transgress It Is a foregone conclusion that ho will be reported , especially If ho Is ob noxious to and of a different political party than the postmaster o\or him. "Now and then ofecouiso , we discover that some of the 'gpottojs' are crooked , ns hap- penn In every line of bu ness , but , as a gen eral rule , they can be relied on. In such caaas the 'tpottcr' iti'generally the one thit broaches the subject1'to- ' carrier , and If an agreement h reach * ! , their crookedness go2s on for name ttyneifocfore being discov ered. The reason we make dlcovcries of crookedness among llie ( secret pen Ice men la that wo go on tno * Principle that every body Is crooked , ani1-a9'1s'oon ; ' as a complaint cornea out of a contain district wherein a 'spotter' has been located , for some time , our suspicions nro Immediately aroused , LOOTING TIJI } LETTERS. "You would bo surprised to know the many different and Ingenious plans letter carriers have discovered wltlPwhlch to rob the malls with llttlo risk to themselves. Ono of our 'ppottern' out In ChYca o ono day last week walked tip behind a carrier whoso district wan In the sparsely settled portion of the city , and , looking over his shoulder as ho walked along , found that ho was lolsuroly opening a letter with the use of n lead pencil cautiously rolled under the gum flap. Th's ' lu the quickest nnd also the oldest .plan we know of. A deft hand can easily open nn envelope so that no plgns can be discovered that It has been tampered with , and after rifling the contents , teal It up again. Nine persons out of ten open a letter by tearing off the ends , and rarely discover the fact that a robbery has been committed. A com plaint follows , of course , but before we can get particulars , the real clew , the envelope that was tampered with , Is lost , and wo have to work on generalities. If the people that have complaints to make over articles being stolen from letters would only take the trouble to think how Important every little detail Is , and help us out by suing every ucrap of the letter In question , the dishonest people connected with the postal service would quickly bo driven out. "In conclusion , I might add that the ques tion of whether It Is right or not for the government to use spies Is open to debate. Several western papers 'havo ' abused the department In round terms for taking this means of running down dishonest people , but the eastern preys , as a rule , agrees with us that the end justifies the moans. The business world wants Its mall matter quickly and without flaws , and takes verj llttlo trouble to ascertain how It Is done , so long as these wishes are complied with. To the letter carriers who attend strictly to business a thousand and one 'spotters' have no terrors. "One day recently a Plnkerton detective we had employed to watch a spotter found him In a barroom with a letter carrier , both the worse for liquor , and each enjoying a good laugh over the way they were hood winking the department. The Plnkerton man went In next door , used a telephone dis creetly , and In five minutes a general Inspector specter was on the spot. In telling about the occurrence , the Plnkerton man said that the faces of the two government employes were the greatest studies he ever came across when the inspector walked into the barroom. The Inspector was well Jtnonn to both men , and , of course , the recognition was mutual and Instantaneous. " SERVANTS' IlAIifj 1PARIS. .
