He Is a 'Minnesota Man and Is Now , Investigating Matchen's Work. from The Journal Bureau Boom 45, Post Build ing', Washington, * Washington June 8 For upward of a tnonth a low-voiced quiet mannered man has sat at desk in the big room in the northwest corner of the fourth floor of the postoffice department building That desk was formerly presided over by Au gust W Machen recentH arrested charged with having accepted a bribe in connection with a contract for supplving articles for the use of the free delivery division of the postoffice department The quiet man who has directed the business of that branch of the serv ice since Machen was suspended, a month before his ar rest is Martin C Fosnes postoffice in spector with a dozen years of service to his credit Mr Fosnes is characteristically Nor wegian He i"* of medium height and rather spare build with the thin face high cheek bones and square jaw of men of his race He has a shock of light brown hair tinged with gray a thick reddish mustache covering a firm mouth and blue eyes deep set under bushv eve brows He is 52 years old but doesn t look it by ten years He was born in Nor way and came to thn country with his parents when he was 16 His parents settled near Winona Minn where he In ed on a farm until he entered the govern ment service at the age of 30 Protege of Wlndom The young Norwegian attracted the at tention of William Windom, thru whose Influence he was appointed a special agent in the pension bureau He served m this capacity for ten \ears nearly all the time in the middle west He was then transferred to the postoffice department as an inspector in which capacity he has done about everything a postoffice inspec tor has to do in the course of his regular duty He has spied on letter carriers and clerks suspected of rifling mail pass Ing thru their hands He has chased tram robbers and postoffice burglars and has followed the more peaceful pursuit of checking accounts of postmasters It Is said of him that in all his service he never asked for an assignment, never re fused one, nor even suggested that a task to which he was assigned was not to his liking for" At the beginning of the first McKinley administration back in 1897 Joesph L Bristow of Kansas was made fourth as sistant postmaster general The inspec tion division was under his jurisdiction, and the leports of the fifty or more in Bpectors passed thru his hands Among them were those of Inspector Fosnes There was a certain quality about them that Bristow liked They were direct and to the point and there was nothing in any case he investigated that was left to the imagination He had a way of get ting at facts without allowing his mind or his reports to be hampered by a mass of irrelevant detail With characteiistic determination he stuck to a case until he had cleared up any mystery there might be connected with it And his conclu sions were about right in everv case so his superior officers say Yet Mr Fosnes work cannot be said to have been char acterized by brilliancy but more by a clear power of analysis and ability to ' bone on a case and study it in everj phase in the endeavor to reach a solu tion \r

therefore pushed him to the front in order to test his ability in an executive capacity During the Spanish American war Bristow assigned him to temporary charge of the Chicago division Then he was sent to Philadelphia in per manent charge of that division While in the Quaker city he was given several Important and complicated cases to in vestigate and did his work so well that Mr Bristow knew he had a man on whom he could depend and who could be trusted with almost any duty in connection with postal Investigations Just about this time the investigation of Cuban postal accounts was ordered and Bristow was assigned to take chaige of it Inspector Fosnes was the first man selected to assist him The history of the Cuban frauds is well known and need not be repeated here At the conclusion of the investigation it became necessary to name some one as acting director of posts and Inspector Fosnes was assigned to that duty which he discharged with his usual ability and faithfulness Returns From Cuba Mr Fosnes returned from Cuba some what broken in health the result of an at tack of yellow fever and was ordered by his doctors to a bracing climate He did not want to loaf and asked for an assign ment that might meet the requirements of his health and he was therefore sent to St Paul In charge of the northwestern division He stayed there until about two months ago when he was called to Wash ington to again assist his chief jjr un earthing frauds He was put in charge of the Investigation of the free delivery service, over which August W Machen had supervision For a time Machen was allowed to continue in service Then Fosnes asked that Machen be relieved in order that he might have full control of all the papers and documents in the bu reau Machen was suspended Indefinitely and within a month was arrested on a charge of bribery, the case having bevsn worked up by Inspector Mayer, acting un der Fosnes orders One thing that strikes a person who at tempts to interview Mr Fosnes is his ex treme modesty At no time has he claimed any credit for his work in Cuba nor in the present investigation He prefers to let that speak for itself Neither does he give out any more information than he Intends to He is courteous and willing to answer questions but when he an swers them one finds that there is very little information conveyed that might i make a sensation As a matter of fact, he would rather keep in the background ,* and let others give out the information which he gathers so diligently and quietly May Be Promoted. L Since Mr Machen s arrest there has j[ been considerable talk about Fosnes be ing made chief of the free delivery ser ^vice but that appointment has been de ferred by common consent until the con clusion of the work he is now doing, and doing well '^- mtygiw^ m^i^^'W^^ EVENING, C. P. CAMPAIOft Inside History of the Stock Raid That Caused Ames & Co. to Fail. , - The Facts Make a Very Interesting Romance in the Ways of "High er Speculation." SpeciqJ to The Journal New York June 8 The history of the market campaign in Canadian Pacific which culminated on Tuesday June 2, in the failure of the banking firm of A E Ames & Co Toronto Is an interesting romance of speculations The historv of the original Canadian Pacific pool as, it is known in Wall street, has been written before But the cam paign .that has just ended had little or nothing to do with the Canadian Pacific pool as Ames & Co were not members of that clique and had nothing to do with this select coterie who pooled their cheap ly bought stock under the able care and consummate generalship of one of the clev erest speculative leaders that has ever jousted with the free lances of Wall street This original pool started opera tions early last spring and accumulated stock at intervals up to the middle of the summer of 1902 It is believed it sold out the last share of stock within a week of the beginning of the money stringency m New York While this pool was unloading its stock several other smaller pools were formed to participate in the benefits from the ad vance of Canadian Pacific to 175, this be ing the optimistic figure these manipu lators set for themselves One of the members of this fraternity was identified with the firm of A E Ames & Co There by hangs this tale Early in September, 1902, a certain powerful New York financier whose operations are not always in the specu lative market, and whose millions have been made as much in the legitimate field of railroad development as in the wreck ing of companies and the ruining of for tunes turned his eves upon the specula tion rampant in Toronto and Montreal With the genius of the stock market gen eral he saw that this speculation had gone a great deal too far Once before he had made manj millions by a magnificent at tack upon the inflated securities of a com pany whose stock had been for months the center of speculation and he be lieved that he could repeat the process with the stock of the Canadian capitalists That idea was the origin and basis of the remarkable campaign that culminated with the failure of A E Ames & Co The Work of a Spy Early m the fall of 1902 he secretly sent to Montreal a certain young man who had come out of the west five years ago and had made for himself on the floor of the stock exchange a reputation for shrewdness sagacity and lack of princi ple This young man spent many days in Montreal, but came back empty handed He reported to his chief that he could not find in Montreal a spot weak enough for a stock market attack Two of the most powerful banking institutions on the con tinent stood squarelj behind the Montreal men who had handled Canadian Pacific so fearlessly and so well He advised his chief to abstain from the attempt to break Into Canadian Pacific He believed that the pool was sold out and was not, therefore vulnerable His chief then sent him to Toronto The expert scalp huntei returned within a week He reported that he found a powerful banking firm that had com mitted itself too deeply on the bull side of the market and that had tied up its available funds and its capital in a class of securities that could not be liquidated with advantage in a falling market The market at that time was declining in the first break of the early autumn The New York speculator had found the opening he looked for It but remained to bring his forces to bear upon the weak spot Saved by St Paul Raid He came within an ace of accomplish ing his object within thirty days Cana dian Pacific touched 124 immediately after election day Just whj it stopped at 1"S!4 no one could then understand Recent de velopments however have cleared thi! matter up It stopped at 124 for the rea son that an organized and powerful attack was made by a syndicate of bears upon the secuiities of Chicago Milwaukee &- St Paul This may seem at fir t glance to have nothing to do with Canadian Pa cific but it will be more readily under stood when it is stated that the capitalist who supplied the sinews of war to break the Canadian Pacific account was him self deeplv committed to the bull side of St Paul He had sold much St Paul al ready but by no means all he intended to sell It behooved him therefore, to sup port the market not depress it He put aside for the time being his sinister at tempt to wreck the fortunes of the Toronto men and turned his attention strenuously to the saving of his own thousands In consequenceso great is the power of this one manSt Paul rallied nobly and the bears were repulsed with heavy loss "With it Canadian Pacific also rallied the press ure of the attack being removed and the New York capitalist helping the rally con siderably by covering his shorts in Cana dian Pacific Since then the capitalist in question has passed thru a severe illness Moreover, since then more newly made millionaires of the west have been cajoled into buy ing St Paul at prices between 180 and 160 on the understanding that the North ern Securities company would if success ful in the courts take in St Paul at $220 per share, which would, of course, net a handsome profit W W Jermane Guide for Fishermen Just issued by Soo line Obtain a copy at ticket office 119 Third street S CASTOR IA - For Infants and Children.
