THE OMAHA DAILY T,T.T.i SUNDAY, MAT.CIT 22, 100.1. 10 PASI MASTER OF CON GAMES Sketch of the Career of Whitaker Wright, British Prcftnoter. ROPED IN THE ARISTOCRATIC PUSH The Peer of Matters Promoters, ki II Did aad How Ho Lived Mlllloas Made aad Lost. Tli arrest of Whltaker Wright In Ne iors lust wen gives a nearDy view or ono of the greatest confidence men the young century, or tha old one, for that matter, has produced. He la a British product, with tome American polish acquired dur ing a residence of six years under the shadows of the Philadelphia Stock exchange. Wright out-Hooleyed Hoolejr In boosting a skin gama with aristocratic backing. Tha late Barney Barnato was not In his clas. Compared with htm the American get-rlch-qulcker diamond tontine, turf Investment, horn co-operatives numerical bond. Iron Hall and other defunct schemes are as three small plecea of silver to a double eagle. The nearest approach to Wright in magnitude were the operations of Jabes Balfour, a countryman, who la serving a lite sentence In a British prison. An acoount of the life of the wrong Mr. Wright In the New York Herald Bay, he has made and lost millions, and Is accused of having been tha cause of the loss of $100, oa.ooa through the organisation and failure t the Globe group at companies. He lived ta Philadelphia for alx rears, from 1S8 to U9L occupying an office In a building where the Btook exchange now stands, and en gaging la business aa a broker la cotton, grain and petroleum. His wife Is a native of Philadelphia and her father was killed during the civil war while serving under General Grant. Hia aucceeses did not begin until after ba left tbla country. In West Australia he la said to have made $15,000,000 In mln lng speculations, ami to have made several tlmea that amount In London In the opera tion of eompanlea he organized te float hia properties. He Induced several members of the nobility to serve on hia boards of directors, among them the late Lord Duf- terln, at one time governor general of Can ada, who was financially ruined by tha fall ure of the concern. In appearanoe he Is not especially strik ing, but his personality Is magnetic, and it has been aald that If be could get a man te listen to him for fifteen minutes he could In most Instances obtain from him almost anything he desired. Weighing about 250 pounds and Ave feet ten inches tall, Mr. wrignts upresalon, except when he la greatly Interested In the matter under dis cussloa. Is colorless and heavy. Hia small eyes, set well back in his head, hia thick neck, retreating forehead and rounded chin fail entirely to convey any Impression of the great Intellectual power he la admitted to possess by all who have known him well, but when he devotes his attention to the furtherance of his plans or wishes to con vince anyone his whole bearing changes. His Ayes, turned full upon tho person to wnom he is talking, seem to grow larger as ne warma to his subject, and It la Ira possible not to feel the effect of his mag netio personality. His Hlah.Bora Aids. ,iii . . . . . vum a snort nme oerore tne crash came tnd the whole financial world waa shocked by the enormity of the failure he had been for several years one of the most prominent Lgures in business circles in London. Him self comparatively unknown when he began his operations, he Induced Lord Dufferin, Lord Loch and others with great namea to allow him to use their names as members of his boards of directors, and by thla ineana Inspired so much confidence In hia undertakings that money flowed In pro tuaely from all quarters, and In several In stances subscriptions to stock offered for sale were far In excess of the capitalization of the eompanlea he was floating. Although never admitted to a social equal ity with the members of the nobility, he was . on intimate terma with many men whose namea appear In Burke's Feerage, He claims even King Edward aa bis per sonal friend and is well known to such American financiers as Charles T. Terkes and Charles M. Schwab, the latter ef whom he aays he met a short time ago la Parla and found him looking In the best of . health. Ia his expenditures he has bean as lavish as be has been bold In his financial yen tares. His country house, in Surrey, Is one of the wonders of that part of the country, with Ita underground ball room and elab orately fashioned apartments. He also has a London house, which Is one of the most magnificent In the city. Hta yachts have been among the best in British waters and his dinners were magnificent In the ex treme. So great. In fact, was his fame at that time that a successful novel was written by the late Harold Frederic, called "The Market Place.' which was understood te veil under a thin guise of fiction the mala events la the career of the promoter and his connection with Lord DuSerla. Draws froaa Life. The former Is called la the novel Stor mout Thorpe. He had started la early Ufa aa Joel 8. Thorpe, but had dropped the Joel and spelled out the middle name In full A ten rag.

Wright. Lord Dufferin masquerades aa th Marquis of ChsMon. This Is the novelist's description of the promoter: Thorpe was tall, but of a burly and sioucning figure. His face, shrouded In a high growing; dust colored beard, Invited no attention. One seemed always to have known this face thick featured. Immobile, undistinguished. Its accessories for the time being were even more than ordinarily unim pressive. Both hair -and beard were ragged with neglect. Ills commonplace dark clothes looked as If he had slept in them; tho hands resting on his big knees were coarse in shspe and roughened and ill kept." The novelist goes on to describe how Thorpe induced members of the nobility to lend themselves to his schemes, and tells ow the Marquis of Chaldon, "ambassador t Vienna In his time, but willing to gather In his five hundred a year Just the same," became chairman of. the board of dlr-ctors Thorpe's great company, Just as Lord Dufferin became chairman of the board of irectors of the London and Globe Finance company. In the end all Thorpe's enemies are ru. ined, hia frlenda enriched, he himself mar- riea a wealthy and aristocratic wife, and the novelist leavea him planning new schemes by which he may utilize the noble friends, under whose tables he la now priv ileged to place hie feet. His Meteoric Career. Mr. Wright's financiering has been of the pyrotechnic order. He floated into prominence and fortune on the flood gates of the boom In West Australian gold mines, The London and Globe Finance company waa a promoting concern for manufactur lng securities, and It has been said that none of the dlrectora, except Mr. Wright had the slightest grasp of Ha affairs or the remotest conception ef Us ramifications and ventures. Men like Lord Dufferin, Lord Loch and Lord William Beresford were, used by Wright to dazzle the bourgeois public, rather than to assist in guiding the affairs of the company. He had a marvellously rich mine In Lake View, In West Australia, which was turn ing out $700,000 a manth In gold, and the stock noared to $140 a share. An American mining engineer was In charge at the mine, and reported to Mr Wright's-London office that the Bonanza mine, which waa producing most of the profits, waa growing bigger and stronger In depth. Mr. Wright bought all the atock In alght only to learn later that the great store of ore. was dug out. Before the collapse ef the Lake View mine Mr. Wright had advanced $10,000,000 the total capitalization of the London and Olobe Finance company te the Baker street railroad acheme In London. Then he bought out the British American cor poration, with a capital of $7,600,000. It waa over subscribed and the ateck went to a premium. Thla corporation bought up the Le Rot and other mines in British Columbia, and. within two years the Le Rol mine alone was said te have made $2,580,000 profit. Four different corporations were organ ized to control these mines and the com ponies were floated on the London market, The stock of all rose to a large premium and the market value oZ the stock of the four companies soon rose to $40,000,000 representing an Investment of less than $5,000,000, all made within three years. Then Came Collapse. This waa Inflation and manipulation which could not last. Collapse waa in evitable. Thirteen firms, involving about thirty members of the London Stock ex change, failed through the Globe group col lapse, some of whom were among the best known men Irf the London financial world. At that time It was said that the crash, while It was certain to come sooner or later, might, have been delayed had It not been for a quarrel between Mr. Wright and Joseph Kaufman, a , mine - exploiter, who were once bosom friends. The former ted the bull movement In West Australian shares and the latter led the bears. After a three years' fight Mr. Kaufman con quered. Even then the Stock exchange wits had a fling at the promoter. . "When, was Whltaker Wright r they asked, to which the proper answer waa. "When he took a Duffer-ln." The story waa also told at that time, aa Illustrative of dangers he had escaped, of how an Indian squaw once saved his Ufa after he had given her a trivial present. He waa out prospecting one day and looked Into her tent. She Immediately told him the braves of her tribe were after his scalp and hid him beneath aoma aklna. Pres ently up came the redskins and asked If she had seea him. She stood at the door of her tent and said he had passed In a certain direction. Every other white man In the neighborhood waa murdered. ' Anerlcaa Moaejr Lost. v Much American money waa lost In the failure of the Wright eompanlea.. There waa a great outcry agaiaat the attitude of the authoritiee In not proaecutlng Mr. Wright aad hia fellow directors In the London and Globe, and la January laat petition was circulated en the London Stock exchange, algned by many Influential men, demanding the prosecution of Mr. Wright, aa it was considered that tha credit of the city and of the London Stock exchange demanded a thorough Investiga tion. A fund of $21,000 waa raised te Initiate the prosecution of Wright. Arnold White, an author, at a meeting aald the reason the proseoutloa waa aot undertaken by the government was that the directors of the London and Olobe were sheltering them selves behind members of the royal fanlly He added that he understood a royal duke had Invested his money In the concern, and he believed that "certain hangers-on at court" were using the name of the king and otbera for the purpose of hiding their own nefarloua deeds. Other speakers at this meeting declared that the stockholders of the London and Olobe were victims of one of the moat "terrible, heartless aad gigantie awlndlea of the present age." Action was taken against Mr. Wright on March 10. Justtcs Buckeley, In the chan cery division of the high court of Justice, made aa order directing the official re cetver aa liquidator ef the Olobe corpora tion, te prosecute Mr. Wright on a crim lnal charge and to utilize the assets or tne London aad Globe to pay the costs of the arosecutlon. The following day a warrant tor Mr. Wright's arrest waa Issued. IS LIFE WORTH LIVING ALONE To Marry or Not to Harry Discussed by Two Women. ONE THINKS CELIBACY IS SELFISHNESS Saaaa B.

The Darker Side. ARIZONA FILES A Loartslatare Passes Resolatlaa Agalast Statehood with Mew Mexico Voder ia; rtreaasstaaeea. PHOENIX, Aria., Maroh IL At the clos lng ef the legislature, the senate passed a resoluttoa that had passed the house some time ago, protesting against the admission t'Arlsena aad New Mexico to Joint slats- hood under any circumstances. Woman la Declared a Laaatle. FITTSBt'RQ. March a. Mrs. Sarah McCoy, who gained local notoriety through an unsuccessful breach of promise suit against Rev. J. M. Thomas of this ety and more recently created some excite ment at Washington tn trying to ferae her way Into the presence of President Rooae velt, waa today declared a lunatic, with lucid Intervals, by a commission appelated to Inquire Into her sanity. - We agree that man should use his reason and his intellect in the adjustment of the reproduction of his species. But it by no manner of means follows that the unmar ried man Is guided by his brains rather than bis passions. "Dens of iniquity" abound where the brutes of human species riot and defy all laws of God, and man, and nature these for the besotted and de graded. For the man of brains and Intel lect the gilded palaces of sin flourish. No less guilty is the last than the first. and far more inexcusable. Does celibacy Induce or promote morality? From which class of mem do these hideous resorts most largely draw their patronage and support- married or unmarried men? It won't do to put the raison d'etre upon any ether higher grounds than that of the bachelor's objection "to change his life of ease and freedom obtained from a salary sufficient for his Individual needs for one of bondage." He may not be criminal only selfish, but even more than this, 'tis usually a matter of taste and preference where and how he will spend his money, Stroaales and Mlsfortanes. Perhaps many a man haa been driven to suicide or the verge of It because of de mands which he waa unable to meet. Maay another haa been, too, er, worse still, to tnaaalty when some calamity or disease swept his family away from him. His ob ject in life went with them, without them existence waa Insupportable. Nothing seemed worth while thereafter, though he might then have had something more than Just clothes and tobacco. Love is the rul ing passion in some men's lives, for which we thank God and take courage. They are the ones who in some measure redeem no small proportion of their sex from utter obloquy. The article In The Sunday Bee takes no account of a large - number of bachelors who are not so from choice. It is, or has been, their ambition to become benedicts The Implication is that somewhere i woman sits waiting for some man who shall become "her financial supporter," and that she feels disappointed and defrauded If he fatla to show up. Not every woman aspires to the work of trying to reform a rake or made a man out of an incapable. Of the two, her risk of Ill-assorted mating la far greater than his, and more often 'tis the wife who Is the galley stave under sentence through life, and she usually endures her servitude with a heroism and patience of which "the man of wrath" has no conception. Omaha, Neb. A WOMAN OBSERVER. What fossa B. Anthony gays. A correspondent of the Philadelphia North American recently interviewed Mias Susan B. Anthony en the question of mar rlage and the rearing of children, with par tlcular reference to the recent letter of President Roosevelt to Mrs. Van Worst en "race suicide." Miss Anthony dictated reply, whloh follows, In part: President Roosevelt often talks without dus consideration, and thla time he la par ticularly unconsidered In his utterance. Hia Ideas on race suclde are those of soldier, who looks upon human beings either aa possible soldiers or mothers of soldiers. It Is the Idea peror William of Germany. There la noth ing new In the propositions advanced by the president. They are as old as the pa triarchs, whe, I believe, had families large enough te suit even Mr Roosevelt. There ia not the slightest danger of the race dying out. Oa the ether hand, there Is a certainty of the race deteriorating be cause ef overcrowding. There are already too many people on earth. There are too many morally, physically unfit te live. There are too many marriages too many Ill-considered and hasty marriages between Irrationally mated men and women. It la absurd for Mr. Roosevelt, or any other man, te say that the women of the world are evading the duties of maternity. We see on all sides cumulative evidence to the contrary. Look at the thousands, hun dreds of thousands, millions of faded, tired out, physically wrecked wives and mothers, and then tell me. If you dare, that the women do not do their share In peoplelng the world. That ia where the women make a great mlatake., Tbla Idea that a young girl should look forward to marriage aa the chief aim In life, that the day after she lets her skirts down to her shoe tops she must look out for a husband, la all wrong. Likewise tt la worse than wrong to teach the youth with a budding mustache that some girl in the world la sighing for him, and that It is hta duty to marry on nothing a year and with ne definite aim In life. Haphasard Marriages. We see the sad consequences of this haphazard sort of marital contract every day of our Uvea. We see the fruits In discouraged men, broken down, physically PROTEST "caed women, sickly, -poorly reared chil dren and wretcnea nomee. ror man ia a selfish creature, and In the majority of instances where there Is not money enough for all, he spends what there la on him self. In drink and disgraceful dissipation, aa like ds not. As I before remarked, Mr. Roosevelt haa propounded . nothing new. It la the aame old doctrine handed down from the days of the she par d patrlarcha, through the dark agea, via the Pilgrim ta there. Early marriages, the more marriages the better, big families, the bigger, haa alwaya been the doctrine of the lords of creation. It is the doctrine of the polygamous Mormons tn Utah. And do you know, I don't see much difference between the Mor mon with his four wives and tha Pilgrim Father living with hia fourth the three sainted predeoeaaors lying in the church yard after presenting their common hue band with their quota of children. It Is merely a difference In style, the Pilgrim Father driving his wives taadem aad the Mormon his four abreast. The systems come to the same end that Is, the wives are mere slaves to their bus and children. Physical Wrecks. I say that the mother of a large family Is In jlne cases out of ten a physical wreck. One child usually satisfies the matrimonial Instinct; two, or certainly three." Beyond that number the wife be comes a mother under protest, five under exceptional circumstances a large family cannot be properly cared for by the mother. Better a email family where the children are healthy, bright, plentifully fed and adequately clothed than a large family neg lected and unschooled. Look about you In any large city and tell me if you notice any lack of children. The streets fairly swarm with them. 1 don't know of a city in the land where the public purse Is equal to providing school accommodations. Everywhere a large percentage of children are forced to remain out of school because there Is no provision for them. ToJay the children come so fast that boards of education cannot keep pace with the demand. The big family' idea was invented by man for his own selfish motives. Usually the father of a big family is living with his second or third wife. Motherhood has worn out the others. I sometimes almost doubt the wisdom of the Almighty; for. If he had Intended woman to be a mere propagating machine, It seems to me that he ought to have made her out of better and more enduring stuff. Most of the young men of the day are morally unlit for marriage. They are dissipated, frivolous, selfish, stingy and un willing to support a wife. They prefer to spend their money upon frivolous girls, with no thought of matrimony. When, at last, after yeara of pleasure, they take a wile, they make her miserable. They either will not support her, or, It they contribute. It la done so grudgingly aa to crush the humanity out of the woman. Sinks Her Individuality. The woman who marries sinks her Indi viduality and becomes a mother, never amounting to anything but a household drudge. Whenever a married woman dues achieve anything you will always find that her husband la an enlightened and su perior man, who makes no pretense to being the superior and gladly avails him self of his partner's help and counsel. Right here I want to say that woman Is proving her physical and mental right to equality, at least In the marital state, through a strange compensatory evolution In nature. Vice and dissipation have al ready begun to tell upon the men. Hence we aee, year by year, the physical and Intellectual plane of woman advancing. Look at the men and women passing In the crowded streets, and notice the ever increasing proportion of well-formed, vig orous women single women women taller and. more athletic than their male escorts. Observe the puny appearance of so many of the men. Man la going backward as an animal. I believe not only should thefo be fewer marriages, but that many of the mar riages already contracted should be dis solved. In the thousands upon thousands of cases where the husband la addicted to licentiousness. It Is not only the right but the Juty of the woman to seek divorce. It Is through woman's Ignorant subjec tion to the tyranny of man's appetites and passions that the life current of the nation is corrupted, and "suicide of tho race" is threatened and not, as Mr. Roosevelt In lets, through the failure of men and women to marry. It the race is to be saved from "suicide" It must be saved through the intelligent emancipation of woman. eARPETS and RUGS The floor covering ncnson is here.
