NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS ,
Story of the Grand Hotel Dispute Becom.33
Public Property ,
CAUSE OF CHIEF GARY'S ' MICHIGAN TRIP ,
He Went to IlrlnR IJnok 11 Furniture
Alan , lint Couldn't Get Him A
Hinootli Hellenic 'Hint
Chief of Police Gary returned yesterday
morning from Lansing , Mich. , where ho has
been for over a week past. Tno object of hU
trip was not known to the public until his re
turn. It Is now found that It was connected
with the fight between the firms of Klmball
V Champ and Cragin k Co. , at the time the
Grand hotel changed hands. The story of
the Investigations that huvo been carried on
by the chief of police is a long ono , and the
developments completely exonerate Messrs.
Klmball , t Champ from the charges of ols-
honesty that were made tigalnst them by the
Cnigiii-.Iowell outfit.
Alter Mrs. Cragin and her partner hail
been Invited to give up the management of
the hotel , there was n profound mystery In
the air. The facts of the case wcro Kept
from the public With the most scrupulous care ,
mil thnt every thing was not running perfectly
smoothly could not bo kept a secret. Finally
the day came when Mrs. Cragin sought admis
sion to the hotel , and she was carried bodily
down stairs by a burly policeman , in ac
cordance with orders from itn management
Mrs , Cray in departed from the scene of the
conflict with her plumngo very muc'a milled ,
and breathing threats of law suits and
vengeance. For several days she and
Jewell , her partner , stayed in the city and
circulated reports as to law suits which It
might bo expected would bo started in the
near future , and then they disappeared.
At that time it was charged that a schema
had been entered into between the firm of
Cragin & Co. . and the 1'htisulx furniture
company , of Grand Rapids , Mich. , whereby
the firm of ICimhall & Champ were to bo
charged n double price for the furniture with
which tlin hotel was fitted out , and the pro
ceeds of which wet o 10 bo Divided between
the two parties to the scheme. Cragin & Co. .
hud leased the hotel with the understanding
that thev were to put not , less than fjri.UOO
worth of furniture in it , this provision being
/or the sake of affording Klmball & Champ
bcciirity that the rent would bo paid.
Another provision of the lease was that when
that amount of furniture should bo put In
the hotel , a check of 510,000 would bo paid
over by Kimbull ft Champ to Cragin & Co. ,
in order to help thorn carry on business. The
furniture was ordered and placed in the
hotel under the personal supervision of Frank
Smith , the vice president of the company.
Ho showed u draft which had been drawn on
'Airs. Vokes of Wllkesbarro by Mrs Cragin ,
her daughter , for f 10.UOJ. Klmball & Ch'inip
had guaranteed that the receipts from the
opening banquet would be not less than500
nnd Kimball & Champ wuro induced to fur
nish u check roriy.VH ) , instead of the $10,000 ,
as hud Dceu agreed. In this way the amount
of $ U'i,000 ( was provided for in payment for
the furniture.
That something was wrong was Indicated
by the ftct that Cragin & Co. had drawn on
the Pl.unilx furniture company for $ oOO u
short time after tno opening of the hotel , nnd
taking thnt as u starting point the authori
ties commenced an investigation. About two
weeks ago John N. Baldwin went to Phila
delphia , where ho mot Mrs. Craglu , who
made a confession of the whole scheme , and
this confession is now in the hands of the
attorneys for Kimball & ; Champ , who will
make It public when the proper time comes.
Its exact contents lire unknown , save to the
parties immediately interested , but it is said
that it discloses beyond all doubt the fact
that there was n deliberate scheme entered
into between the furniture company and
Crugin & Co. , whereby Kimball & Champ
were to bo cheated out of about W.500.
According to exports who were sent for
from Chicago to examine the furniture now
in the Grand hotel and give an estimate ns to
its value , it is not worth over $14,000 at the
outside , instead of $ 'JO,000 , which was the
prlco as stated by Smith , the vlco president
of the company. In Mrs. Cragm's confession
she says that the draft for JIO.OOO which she
drew upon her.mothor and turned over to the
company in part payment for the furniture ,
was never paid , and was never expected to
be paid. Atlldavlts have been secured from
all the banks in Wilkcsbarrc to the effect
that the draft was never paid. The $14,700 ,
then , which was paid by Kimball & Chump ,
nearly settled for the furniture , and ,
according to the theories now { advanced , the
intention of Crhgiii & Co. and the Phoenix
furniture company was that the $ J,500 to DO
realized from the banquet should bo divided
between them. The money was never paid ,
however , and suit was commenced in superior
court to collect It. The suit is still pending.
Chief Gary's object In going 10 Lansing
was to obtain a warrant for the arrest of
Smith on the charge of obtaining $ K,5UO ! ,
under false pretenses from , Kimball &
Chump. He was urtned with a requisition
from Governor Boles , an affidavit from Kim
ball & Champ setting forth tbo fnctsOsub-
stantlally as above Mated , nnd affidavits
from Cour.ty Attorney Organ and Attorney
General J. V. Stone , stating that the suit
was commenced against the defendants in
good faith and that the lacts as stated would
bo good grounds for criminal proceedings in
the state of Iowa. Chief Cary thought ho
was armed equal to any sort of a combat , but
ho found that ho hau not reckoned correctly ,
The matter was laid before Governor Winuns
of Michigan , nnd the expectation was that
the warrant tor arrest would bo at once
grunted us asked for , but the chief's breath
was knocked out f him when he was in
formed that the governor woiiid hnvoto talto
time to notify Smith's ' attorney , us he prom
ised to do so as soon as ho found out that an
ofllcer was on the ground looking for him.
The telegram was sent , and Smith was noti
fied from headquarters.
Last Wednesday the case was heard before
the governor , and after several hours' delay
the warrant was denied , the governor assign
ing no other reason than that Klmball &
Champ had no valid ground for an action at
law. The same day search was made for
Smith , but ho hud fled , nnd Ills attorneys
claimed to have not tbo slightest Idea where
he could bo found.
The action of Governor \Vinans in giving
Smith warning to Icavo the country was the
subject for a column article in the State
Republican of July 1 , and even Winans'
party organ , the Journal , Is as bitter in its
denunciations. They also roast Jewell un
mercifully. Jewell was formerly a resident
of Lansing , where hooccupied the position
of clerk In ono of the loading hotels. Ho also
sang In ono of the church choirs of the city ,
out Ills ac'.ions even at thnt time were con
sidered somewhat fast. Ho is thought to bo
hiding In Now York city nt present in order
to keep away from the cQlcers , who may bo
after him soon.
Chief Cary acknowledges thnt ho Is no
match for the governor of n state , but ho
says lot Smith show his 11030 outside of Mich
igan nnd then see what happens. Ho is con
fident that ho will bo brought to justice in
duo time. The affair has created an im
mense sensation in Luuslng and in fact
throughout Michigan , as Smith Is n member
of onu of the most prominent furniture firms
in the country nnd bus always been consid
ered perfectly straight ,

BenuN , July 8 , Interviews with conl oil
dealers In Berlin , both wholesale and retail
show a very general opinion that the Stand
ard oil company , having absorbed the big
importlon houses , will now try to gain control - '
trol of the jobbing trade nnd tho.i of the
retail business In Germany. Every step Is
taken In exact conformity with the law and
the remedies to bo proposed are likely to
prove only temporary and ineffectual. It Is
generally believed hero that oven the Uoths-
childs will have to yield to the American
company.
Hobort Salinger , president of the United
German petroleum works , n corporation
which has extensive refineries In Hanover ,
said ho had little doubt that the American
company would sooner or later control the
entire Gorman market. As soon as they
have completed their arrangements with the
Rothschilds they will have all Germany In
their power. Wo have n few oil wells m
Alsace , and there are also some In Gnllcia ,
but their output is so small that it plays no
part in supplying the German demand.
"You speak nboui the Uothschilds , " the
correspondent said , "but Director Gaedo , the
representative of Nobel 'Brothers , showed
mo statistics tha other dny indicating that
the proJuct of the Hothsohild's wells was
small as compared with the ' total of Russia's
production. " " , „
"Then I can only say t 'at , Mr. Gaedo is
mistaken. The Hothschilds' wells may net
have produced much oil , but they have much
territory which is capablq pf .great improve
ment. Besides they control the product of
many wells which they dqriot nominally own.
The only branch of the tradn in which wo
now have n good field , " continued Mr. Sal
inger , "is that of axle grease and machine.
oil. Of the former Germany's state railroads
alone consume from UVOlvo millions to
fifteen million Kilograms nyoar. The private
demand is oven more than that , as is also the
case with machine oil. Germany has a pro
tective tariff of 12.50 marks ( about S.U2K ) per
100 kilograms on crude oil. Here wo may
make a successful fignt Jofrn'short time , but
if the great company with' unlimited capital
cares to lose sorao monoy-ittcan drlvo us even
from that field. The only thing loft
'then will bo to turn our petroleum works
Into distilleries. " Mr , Salinger thought that
Nobel Brothers would also gladly sell out to
the American company rather than risk a
losing fight.
The biggest conl oil merchant In Berlin Is
Louis Lewlshon. Ho thinks the American
company will not bo content until it has con
trol of the retail business in Germany. "Tho
Hothschilds , " ho said , "what will they do If
the Americans say to thorn , 'You go east to
Africa , to Asia , 'wherever you please ; wo
want Europe west of the Russian frontier. '
The Standard lowers prices and makes the
Hothschilds howl. Thuy have to como to
terms. Add to this thnt Russian oil is far
Inferior to the American product. The Ger
man newspapers scream and protest. That
is all the good It will do. The government
can do nothing. Itcannotimposoaprotcctivo
tariff , for wo have nothing to protect. If a
general dutv was put on petroleum the pear
people of Qonnnnv would be the sufferers
and not the Standard. Our hope Is thnt as
they find tbo absorption of the large Import
ing firms HO difficult they will Hesitate to
undertake the work of recognizing the entire
wholesale and retail trade of Germany. But
in time they will do It. Such are the opin
ions of tha trade in general.
