KING OF THE WIRE TAPPERS
Chrlitopber J. Traoy Said to Hove
Made Tito MIIMou Dollar Out
of the ''Come-Oni."
Chrlitopher J. Tracy, known from the
AtlanUc to the Pacific as the "King of
fake wire-tappers," died In the Polyclinic
hospital. New York, of dropsy. The body
was taken to Toronto, Canada, for burial.
Tracy came of a Kood family, but after
obtaining an education ho decided to
follow the path Of leaat reelatance lead
ing to wealth. tHe conceived the fake
trire-tapplns swindle, and, though ho
l.ad many Imitators, he had no superior.
He fraternlred with Doc Owen. 'Uis"
Lawson. now In Auttralla; Jerome Mj-
ICay. the Gondorl brothers and Ijury
Summerfleld. It Is eald he made J2.000,
000 In hla time.
The bl6Set of Tracy's swindles was
carried out a little over ten years ago.
John Fellr, a maker of musical Instru
ments, liked to bet and was picked out
as the prospective victim.
One afternoon an affable stranger
railed on Felix and Introduced himself
as a man he had met In Lou I.udlom'a
gambling house. Knowing Felix to bo
Interested in roulette, the stranger
thought he might llvten to a "sura
thing" scheme la rasing. Felix listened.
The stranger, who was Traoy, had, h-
raid, a friend In the Western Union
office who could get advance informa
tion on races. All that was needed ai
capital. Several well known brokers
f were In on the scheme, but they needed
tleir spare cash for betting. If Felix
had a safe large enough to house 1,000,.
000 cash and a little money to start the
ball rolling, both would soon be rich.
Felix had the safe and 130,000, so he
was taken to the office of tht brokers
after the brokers had gone home for the
(lay and was let In by a key Tracy had
made. Here the trusting maker of in
struments was Introduced to "John W.
Qatea" and other celebrities.
Next day he was piloted to a pretended
l-ootroom, where Tracy -on several thou
sand dollars In stage money.1 The bet.
ting grew heavier and Felix becamo ner
vous In the fear he would not be able
to get his money down before the place
went broke. Finally he got to the win
dow and dumped $50,000 on one race. At
best accounts the horse he bet on 1
running yet
Felix fainted At the finish of tho race.
When he came to be hurried to police
headquarters, where he told his story,
"Big" Lawson fled, but Traay and others
Tho had been In the swindle were ar.
tested months afterward. Following a
long trial Traoy was convicted, but he
topk hi cate to- tho court of appeals
and won on the ground that Felix had
been a party to an- attempt to awlndla
poolroom owners.
Only a small percentage of Tracy's
victims "i.quealed' For the most part
they were men from small cities who
could not stand the notortuty and swal
lowed their losses. One such was a resl.
dont of Ohio, Tracy was Introduced to
him as a real estate broker He said ha
neoded 139.000 cash to pull off a big deal
and was willing to double the money for
the man who made the loan.
Tracy offered to .put up, the Flatlron
building as security and give his note
besides. He took the ' Ohloan through
the building, spoke familiarly to tho ele
vator boys, showed the unoccupied
offices and got the 130,000. Then he gave
the victim a banquet with his own
money and sent him home' to wait for
the M0.0CO he expected in' ninety days.
He Is waiting ,yet.
Truoy, though 'taken Into, custody many
times, and cenvlpted at least onre, never
served time. There was. always soma
loophole through which he could squeeze.
I He lived high, was known In every lob
ster palace in town and was something
of a first nlghter. He dressed quietly
and In excellent taste. Of course, he
was a glib talker, New York World.
An Old Controversy.
An old controversy has been reopened
by the erection In fit. Peter's church yard
at Morrlstown, N. J., of a monument to
Alfred Vail wl.loh credits him with being
the Inventor nt tho dot and dash Morse
code. The rector of the church has been
appealed to, but says that he haa no au
thority to interfere. The case for Morse'a
Invention or ruther devising of the code
has been generally accepted as sound, and
It is not a matter which merits great ar
gument; in comparison with putting elec
tric telegraphy upon a practical basis the
vrrklnK out of a particular code of alphal
1-etlo signals was a matter of detail. It
rot remarkably original, however, thi
code was a good piece or work, as has
been shown by Its general adoption ana,
long use. Springfield ftecublican.
Three or u 'Kind.
Two Irishmen had to start work at 5
o'clock In tho morning. .During the night,
however, their clock stoppW,' and, getting
up very early next morning, they started
for their work,
"We needn't go now." said Pat, "for
there's the sun up."
"That's not the sun." said illck. "U'a
the moon."
Just then they met a tramp comlntr
along the road.
"It you plate," said Pat. "will you UH
us Is that the sun or the moonT"
"I don't know." said the tramp. Tw
a stranger here myself." Pittsburgh
