BIG ROLL OF A BELL BOY
Prodigality of Tip Givers Yields
Fortune for a amlllns;
. Walter.
Better . not act uppish when Bellhop
Frank Lawler of the Stratford hotel, Chi
cago, waits on you or na may give you
the magnate laugh. He may . not laugh out
loud, but he's worth 150,000, and he's earned
most Of It laughing up his' sleeve at'the
prodigality of tip givers. His wealth be
came generally known recently, when It
was learned that he had scheduled a big
list of Teal estate holdings to qualify as a
bondsman for a boy friend. '
When Lawler Is carrying your grips . to
the elevator or hurrying to your room with
Ice water he takes all your scoldings for
slowness or stupidity with the 'same owl
Uka smile. His thoughts are not on what
you say, but on the three flat houses he
owns In the South Side. When you fail
flush and tip him a dollar he smllej again
and calculates that your tip Is about oni
tenth of his dally Income whether he gets
tips or not.
Lawler determined to become the Rocke
feller bellhop fifteen years ago, at. the age
of 1". He has succeeded, but it not yet sat
isfied. He thinks of dabbling In grain and
Is grooming himself for his onslaught on
the pit. He has 120.000 in cash in bank
waiting for the first good tip that will
double his Investment for . him.
The wealthy bellhop will not admit that
he Is a man of means. "8h!" he said the
other night, with a stealthy, glance from
right to left at prospective tippers. "Don't
talk about It. Can't a fellow make a little
change without the world knowing about
It? Cut It uot. Tackle somebody els who
wants to be the chesty rich. I'm not ad
mitting a word of It. 8h! Don't let them
hear you."
Lawler doesn't smoke, chew or drink.
He lives with an aunt and his mission in
Ufa Is not to act foolish with. money. Other
bellhops refuse the food at the hotel, eat
ing outside In a lordly way. Lawler de
clares Its good enough for him, and ha
proves it by eating it and saving money.
"He's worth every cent .of $50,000." said
an attache of the Stratford. "Ha was at
the Victoria for ten years, when It was
customary for bellhops to earn 110 a day.
Firearms In Deep Water...
Chicago Is soon to follow the example set

dumping confiscated firearms Into deep
water, f or years tne iity by the laJce has
followed the antiquated practice of hold
ing an annual auction of "guns" gathered
by the police. The result has been, of
course, Just what It -was- in- New- York

obtained ordnance at a cut rate. Now,
Chicago's municipal Judges have voted to
turn over to the city custodian all con
traband dangerous weapons, and they
will be consigned to the depths of Lake
Michigan. "A good riddance to bad rub

Suit for an accounting of and a re
ceiver for the Omaha A Nebraska Central
railway, a concern which has enlisted the
Id of a large rjumber of small Investors
In the building of an electric line from
Omaha to Hastings, waa filed In district
court Friday afternoon by John W. Ege,
one of the stockholders. The petition.
which was prepared by Henry G. Meyers,
Ege's ' attorney, asserts the company is
really Insolvent and that any Increase In
the indebtedness of the company may be a
valid claim against the stockholders to
the amount of the unpaid portion of their
capital stock subscriptions.
The officers of the company are ar
raigned In drastic terms in the bill, and
they are charged with voting themselves
large sums of money for salary ar.d ex
penses, and misrepresenting the true con
dition of the compsny. Some of these al
leged mlsrepresentative statements are
quoted In the petition from advertisements
published by the company in local news
papers. It Is asserted one advertisement
so worded as to leave the Impression
that an Income of $100 a year can be se
cured from an investment of 1280. The
offering of gold , watches as premiums to
purchasers of stock Is also cited. It Is
claimed that Instead of having franchises
in all the towns and right-of-way the en
tire length of the line, It really has only
one franchise and four miles of right-of-
way.
The petition further says the officers
have collected by sale of stock about
$o6,000, and have actually expended for the
purchase of property, right-of-way. grad
ing, and so forth, about $6,000. leaving a
balance of $49,000 the plaintiff wants ac
counted for. . '
Vote Themselves Salaries.
It la also charged officers have been
voting themselves salaries of $150 a month
and large sums for expenses, and that this
course leaves very small balances of cash
In. the hands of the treasurer. The peti
tioner, It Is asserted, hss been denied the
right to examir the books of the com
pany. It also alleges the officers have
voted themselves 600 shares each of the
capital stock for which the company re
ceived no consideration. .
The petition attacks the financial state
ment of the company, which represents Its
assets to be $175,538.42 and Its liabilities to
be $5,560.12. It asserts the Item of $225,000,
the amount of Its capital stock outstand
ing, waa wilfully omitted, and if this is in
cluded It will show the company to be In
solvent. .......
It Is also asserted that certain of the of
ficers went to Polk county and represented
to farmers that they had executed a deed
of trust for $5,568,000 on its alleged 159 miles
of right-of-way and that the money was
to be expended In equipment and rlght-of
way. By reason of these representations it
Is asserted a number of farmers Invested
about $11,000 In the company. It is also
charged by reason of failure to construct
and operate the road the franchises and
rlaht-of-wav have been forfeited. The offl.
'cers are also charged with voting them
selves commissions of 10 per cent on the
bonds which were voted 1 nthe various pre
cincts of several counties. ' .
One instance is cited In which the officers
In an advertisement referred to the New
York A Chicago Air Line as a similar con
cern,' the stock of which formerly sold at
$25 and Is now worth $80. The petition states
the officers knew this Air Line company
was in the hands of a receiver and Its
stock practically valueless.
The plaintiff asks for an accounting to
show the receipts and in what manner the
money has been expended; for the appoint
ment of a receiver to take charge of the
property and for an Injunction to prevent
further sales of stock or collecting money
on unpaid stock subscriptions.
FIRST SAMPLES OF FISH TALES
Forrlnas. tne Reason's Crop, but They
Are Warm Members and Serve
na Starters.
A few years ago I chanced to be In a
tramp through the White hills of New
Hsmpshlre. when, near the cloae of a hot.
dusty day, being somewhat wearied and
footsore, I sat down on a large rock over
hanging one of those little, dashing moun
tain streams. Immediately underneath the
rock was a small, clear pool of considerable
depth. Laying aside my knapsack and
stretching out aa comfortably as possible,
I lay gating Into the cool depths below.
meditating on the distance yet to travel
before a good supper and more comfortable
bed could be found, when all of a sudden I
was brought back to things present by
seeing an Immense fish come down over
the rocks above and drop with a great
splash into the pool below. As soon as
the water-was stilled I peered over the
edge. Glory: There, shout two feet he
low the surface, lay the largest speckled
beauty It had ever been my privilege to
look upon.
Stealing quietly to my knapsack, It was
but the work of a moment to get out the
small Jointed rod. select the most tempting
fly and drop It quietly Just above him. He
must have been hungry, for he rose like a
flash, seised the fly and the fun was on.
No weary limbs now. Around and around
he went. The reel hummed musically as
the line played out and In. The fun ended
and trouble began when he shot down the
outlet, I after him, slipping, falling, run
ning, Jumping, catching a glimpse of him
every now and then but stop: each glimpse
I had he seemed to be smaller. Had the
heat of the day affected my head and
sight? I must stop him. Taking my hat
for a net, I soon landed him, not one-half
as large as at first. On lifting him out of
the hat, I pulled a smaller one right out
of his mouth and a still smaller one out
of the mouth of this one and so on until
I had pulled out seven trout, each smaller
than the one which had swallowed him.
Being so astonished, I had thoughtlessly
dropped each one back Into the brook at
my feet. Carefully pulling the hook from
the mouth of the last one, there came, to
my view "the fly." Disappointing? What
say you fishermen? Listen:
Forty years ago when my father was
captain of an east India trading ship,
while off the coast of Africa near the
equator, the ship's carpenter waa taken
sick and died. He was sewed up in can
vas and with him was sewed his kit of
tools and grindstone for ballast to sink
him. Services were held and the body
committed to the sea.
Four days later the ship's boy fell over
board nsid a great shark came up under the
stern and swallowed the boy before he
could be rescued.
The next day the shark waa still follow
ing the ship. A shark hook was baited and
put over the stern and the shark was
caught, but was so large It could not be
tsken on board and they were obliged to
shoot him. He looked so plump and large,
the mate, who was an old whaler, wanted
to go over the side and cut the fish open.
He was lowered over and cut a hole In
the shark and was surprised to hear voices,
and on looking In saw the ship's boy turn
ing the grindstone for the ahlp's carpenter,
who was sharpening his ax to cut their
way out.
My father, who la 80 years old, can
vouch for thla that It la a fish story. -Boston

week, sold Friday morning for $1 a bushel,
and potatoes that brought 50 cents last
week are selling this week for $1 and over.
New potatoes that sold for $1 a bushel last

CASH SHY FOR . THE DASH
Bunch of Honey Needed to Start
Peary Off for the North
' ' PoU. (
Confident of his victory to ' carry the
stars and stripes to the north pole, Com
mander Robert E. Peary, who is now in
Casca Bay. Maine, for a few days, has
made preparations for another arctic dash.
The steamer, Roosevelt, which the Peary
Arctic club built for Commander Peary
and which carried him and his little party
on the last northward Journey, has been
overhauled. and . put in better, condition than
ever for its expected battles with the lce
barrlers of the frozen north.
Peary's present plans contemplate his
departure from New York about July 1,
but lack of sufficient funds to finance the
expedition may prevent the start. In fact,
unless $25,000 Is forthcoming by the 1st of
July the project will have to be abandoned,
north and already has put Into the work
Peary has devoted nearly twenty years in
efforts to solve the great problems of the
all of nls personal means amounting to $ 0.-
000. He has had a greater experience In
arctic work than any other man Jiving.
His work and objects have the endorsement
of President Roosevelt, who says that fail
ure properly to equip his expedition will
be "a real misfortune from a national
standpoint." '
Peary Is hopeful that the comparatively
small sum necessary to complete the ex
ploration fund may be raised In time to
permit him to carry out his plans. He
expects to acompllsh the Journey to the
pole In fifteen months, but will take with
him supplies for a three year's' stay.
"One very Important result of my last
expedition as bearing upon the success of
the coming one," said Commander Peary
recently, "is the Improbability that condi
tions In the comparatively short distance
of 200 miles between my furthest north
point and the pole Itself will be In any
way different form the conditions en
countered by me for the last 100 miles of
my Journey. If conditions are no worse
in the next season than they were during
the last voyage I shall hope to accomplish
the object of the expedition and return in
about fifteen months October, 1909. I ought.
however to have supplies and equipment
for a stay of three years.
'The total number aboard on leaving
here will probably be twenty, the same
