2 BARS MAILS TO A ST. LOUIS BANK POSTMASTER GENERAL ISSUES FRAUD ORDER A' PUBLISHER IS INCLUDED Action, I* Directed Against People* ■United State* Bank and E. C. Lewis, Owner of Woman* BflSSflß|SJh^BV ll ' VB MBJW*MM*IHSBBIBBBBBHH Magazine B* Associated I'rrss. ' WASHINGTON, July 9.— Postmaster General Oortelyou tonight announced r^zJfS^f^iVMVMMHtS l **^ffM^*^f*^ TvT 'v mry tho Issuance of a fraud order against , the People's United States bank of St. Louis, its officers and agents and E. C. Lewis, a publisher, effective July 9. The -■■*-- - action bars the company from use of the malls after an investigation by the postal authorities as to the details of the business of the Institution. The postmaster general in his announce ment tonight says: '.."It is understood that the funds of the bank which have not been bor rowed by Mr. Lewis and his enterprises, amounting to about two-thirds of the total amount remitted, are deposited in banks and will be available toward re imbursement of the stockholders, who number upward of 65,000. It is the in tention, of the officers of the postofflce department to co-operate with the sec retary of, Missouri In every proper way for the Interests of the investors and depositors." Lewis Subscribed Nothing The announcement of Mr. Cortelyou says ' that although in " early • articles In his magazine (the Woman's Magazine) Mr.' Lewis represented 'that he would subscribe to the capital stock a dollar for every dollar subscribed by all others, so that he would own half of the capi tal stock, and that later he represented that he had pledged his entire fortune, every dollar he had and his publishing business, in this banking enterprise, and that his : subscription would ex ceed $1,000,000, the Inspectors found that , Mr. Lewis had not co-operated to the extent of a single dollar of his own money, although the bank had been In operation several months and had a paid-up capital stock of $2,000,000. (• Every ; cent of the $2,000,000 capital stock which had been paid in was paid out of subscription money received by Mr. ; Lewis from the public. ;The most important of the repre sentations, was that all of the funds of this bank would .be } loaned by a committee composed ot three, directors each 'from the five principal' banks of StT; Louis. '■"■> .■ '■■■• ? 'V: '■■ . >i The evidence showed, and Mr. Lewis admitted It, that "hundreds of thou sands of dollars were loaned to himself and his various enterprises; that no committee of fifteen had been estab lished, but that the loans had been made . practically at Mr. Lewis' will. On March 29, when $2,000,000 capital stock had been paid in, a statement furnished by Mr. Lewis upon request showed he had loaned to himself and his enterprises $907,F>39. These loans includes $146,376 to the directors, $390,000 to.-' the Lewis Publishing company, $346,163 to the University Heights Realty and Development company and $25,000 to E. G. Lewis. The University Heights Realty and Development com pany,-which had . borrowed . from the bank $346,163 and the stock of which to the extent of 1277 shares Mr. Lewis sold to the bank, is shown to have assets consisting for the most part of land purchased for $200,000 as a speculation In' suburban property and upon which Mr. Lewis stated about- $150,000 had been expended in improvements. Its liabilities are shown to be $674. 700. On April 8, 1905, the cashier of the bank told the inspectors that 4381 shares of the increased 'capital stock had been Issued and in every instance the shareholders had signed a proxy appointing Mr. Lewis to vote the stock. The announcement further says ( "Hr, Lewis Is receiving a large num ber of remittances for stock in the bank in his own name. It further ap pears that it is the intention of the bank to increase its stock to $5,000,000 and remittances are being asked for on that account. It is impossible to separ ate the bank from Mr. Lewis In this matter." The announcement quotes an opinion of the attorney general, to whom the postmaster general submitted the mat ter, sustaining the action announced tonight. The order was Issued July 6 but the fact has been kept secret until it took effect. FIFTEEN.YEAR.OLD GIRL TAKEN INTO CUBTODY By Associated Press •SACRAMENTO.

TWO SHOT IN A NEW YORK RIOT MOBS OF WHITES AND BLACKS IN BATTLE ONE VICTIM IS A WOMAN She Received a Bullet in Head While Trying to Lead a Child ■. --- .;,;'■; ,-To a Safe .-,-••' ■ -•■- By Associated Preys. j NEW YORK, July 9.— Two persons were shot, one probably fatally, in a flght between mobs of whites and negroes in West Sixteenth street today. The trouble began when Henry Hart, a colored man, was attacked In the street by a number of white youths, who ac cused him of interfering with a ball game. Hart fled, pursued by a mob ot whites hurling stones and other missiles and reached the tenement houses In which he lived and got a revolver, while his pursuers made efforts to break into the building. Having armed himself Hart ran downstairs and began firing Into the crowd, one of his shots strik ing James Hunter In the side. At this moment Policeman John Loye ran Into the hall ' and arrepted ITart, after the latter had fired at him twice. As Loye brought his prisoner out a swarm of negroes armed with pistols, clubs, razors and other weapons poured but of the tenement bent on a rescue. The policeman's helmet was smashei and he was knocked down and kicked, but he kept a firm grip on his prisoner and finally succeeded in getting him back against a wall, where he stood oft his assailants. By this time the whites had been reinforced to the number of several hundred and the negroes brok»» and fled In every direction. A shot fired from a negro tenement struck Mrs. Mary Donohue, who was attempting to lead a child out of the tenement, In the head, Inflicting a probably fatal wound. The police broke into the house ani arrested Albert Middleton, who is sup posed to have fired the shot, and fivi other negroes. In spite of the presence of a large body of police reserves de sultory fighting- between whites and blacks continued until a sudden down pour of rain scattered the combatants.

KROGER BOARDS MUTINOUS SHIP FINDS BLOOD EVERYWHERE ON KNIAZ POTEMKINE VESSEL IN WILD DISORDER Matuschenko, Leader of tha Mutiny, Wished to Blow Battleship Up, and Himself Killed Ten Officer* By Associated Press. KUSTENJI, July 9.— Admiral Kruger this afternoon boarded and took pos session of the Russian battleship Knlaa Potemklne, King Charles' of Roumanla having sent instructions to the com mander of the Roumanian squadron that the vessel be delivered to the Rus sian authorities. '■ -,'j "•;'■ The torpedo boat which accompa- nled the Knlaz 'Potemklne, however, left for Odessa without surrendering, declaring that she had not mutinied, but, that the Knlaz .Potemklne had forced her to follow. . •■ , , ! Admiral Kruger arrived, with jhls squadron this morning, and after ex changing the' customary salutes, Inti mated that he had come to arrange for the transfer of the Knlnss Potemklne. Admiral Koslinsky, commander of the Roumanian squadron, boarded the Rus sian battleship Tchesme and Informed Admiral Kruger that King Charles had ordered him to turn the vessel over to the Russian admiral. The formalities of the transfer were completed this afternoon. The Associated Press representative inspected the Knlaz Potemklne after the withdrawal of the Roumanian guard. Despite the efforts, of the Rou manians to get everything in shape, everything aboard the battleship Is still In a state of wild disorder. The officers' cabins are stripped of every thing of any value and bloodstains were everywhere. There was sufficient ammunition aboard the Kniaz Potem klne to have enabled the mutineers to have made a desperate resistance. It Is said that during the last few days the vessel was navigated by two engineers and an officer with revolvers at their heads. Sailors Insisted on Surrender All of the sailors wished to surren der with the exception of Matuschenko, the leader of the mutiny, who resisted for some time and wanted to blow up the ship. Seven officers were prisoners aboard the Knlaz Potemklne. They were In a pitiable condition from 111 treatment. They declared that Matuschenko him self killed ten officers. All the papers and books belonging to the vessel were destroyed. It appears that the decision to sur render the Kniaz Potemklne was made when it became evident that no other vessels would Join the mutiny. The crew of the battleship seemed to be un aware of the surrender of the Georgi Pobledonosetz, and expectod that she also was coming to Kustenjl to capitu late to Roumania. Twenty married pallors from the Kniaz Potemkine have applied to the Russian consul here to be sent back to Russia. The crew of torpedo boat No. 267 were given half an hour In which to sur render or leave port. A considerable number of the crew of the Kniaz Potemklne surrendered to the Russian squadron, alleging that they had acted under compulsion. A Russian priest, after the transfer, held a service of purification on board the kniaz potemklne, sprinkling the vessel and her flags with holy water. Admiral Kruger's squadron, which brought a crew for the Kniaz Potem klne, sailed with her for Russia this evening. Await Kruger's: Report By Associated Press. '< ST.

Occupa tion as Great Japanese ;./,:."' Gain "' . .'. Ry Associated Press. ST. PETERSBURG, July 10, 2 a. m.— With the Japanese flag hoisted for the first time on Russian soil after eighteen months of war, the Importance of tlni landing on the. Island of Sakhallen is generally admitted, both In newspaper comment and In government circles. Complete occupation of the island Is regarded at a foregone conclusion. The Novoe Vremya voices the gen eral sentiment in holding that control of Sakhallen puts a powerful lever in the possession of Japanese diplomacy, which finally has something tangible in its hands to throw upon the scales In the coming conference. There Is a divergence of opinion with regard to the effect it will have upon the negotiations at ' Washington, some of the irreconcilables declaring that It makes peace at the present Juncture more Impossible than before, as Japan will be able to demand the cession of the island and a heavy Indemnity as weil. They claim that on these terms peace would be too costly, but the more prevalent view Is that Japan has now In her hands enough triumphs to take the game. The attack on the Island certainly dissipates one' of the hopes of th<s peace advocates, who have been sug gesting that its voluntary cession, together with that of Port Arthur and the Chinese railroad,, might be a substitute for a large part or all of the proposed monetary indem nity.' No further report of the landing operations has been received. Muravieff Reaches St. Petersburg M. Muravieff, the Russian ambassa dor at Rome, and one of the peace plenipotentiaries, has 'arrived in St. Petersburg and called upon Foreign Minister Lansdorff yesterday. His sail ing arrangements have not been per fected, as they are dependant upon the date of his audience with the emperor, which will probably take place Tues day. ■ His suite has been completed by the selection of two secretaries from the foreign office. ;-.•.'■ The Novoe Vremya Joins In the press chorus against M. Muravieff, saying that it is hard to tell how good a diplomat he will prove, but that he certainly was not a success at The Hague. The paper says that Baron Rosen, the other plenipotentiary,' Is, on the contrary, a skillful' diplomat and has been socially successful. HEBREWS HONOR MEMORY OF THE LATE JOHN HAY By Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, July 9.— A meeting In memory of John Hay was held In the Synagogue B'nal Halberstam today by Roumanian Jews.

PETITIONERS TO SUPPORT RAILWAYS ARE IN FAVOR OF ELECTRIC FREIGHT LINES OPPOSE COURSE OF MAYOR Buslnesi Men Declare Intention of Making Fight to Maintain Sub. urban and Interurban Car Service . The business m«n who signed the pe tition to the council, asking that the electrio railroad companies be allowed to carry freight Into and' out of Los AiißrlPS, have decided to take up the flght (rVfavbr.of thecar lines. , : - -,"■'■■ These business men, who pay a large percent oi the city's taxes, declare that to' prohibit the carrying of freight by suburban and interurban lines means a heavy loss to their business. Over $00 of them ' petitioned ' the council and mayor to keep hands off. j Mayor McAteer started a war on the street car companies when he assumed office and declared that he. would make them all toe the mark 'laid down by law. The law does not allow the grant- Ing of freight -carrying franchises, eu the first opportunity was seized to force the Interurban companies to cease the business. The officials of the Los Angeles In terurban company were arrested anJ charged with committing a nuisance by running freight or express Cars and bringing berries, milk and other pro duce from outlying truck farms.' Many prominent business men have declared their intention of testifying when the case comes up in the superior court, and" doing anything else they can to show that the operation of such cars Is not only not a' nuisance but !<■ a necessity to the business interests and development of the city. Last week Interested' men, well known In business circles, called at the city hall to discuss the situation with of ficials there and several Informal con ferences were held. Views of Business Men A well known Los Angeles street wholesaler "said yesterday: "Every Interest of the city demands that these interurban and suburban companies be allowed to handle freight. When all 1b said and done, it must be admitted that Huntington, with his many lines to outlying points, has greatly benefited the city and why he should be blocked at every move I do riot understand. ■'■ ■■ " \ "These electric ' cars run directly through the dairies 5 and farms and bring lnevery morning the milk, fruit and vegetables consumed In the city. All of these products are handled but once, when shipped in this way and arrive fresher, cleaner and In all-around better condition than when hauled to a country depot and shipped in by steam freight, then unloaded onto drays and delivered to the markets to be handled there again. "Aside from this, the handling of light freight by the electric companies is a great convenience to all shippers In the city. It enables us to supply our customers in the suburban towns almost a day earlier than we could do otherwise. "When we presented the petition to the mayor and council, we hoped that the question would be allowed to rest until such time as it would be possible to change the law. That petition waa signed by upwards of 900 business men owning property In Los Angeles and doing business here, men who paid more than half the taxes of the city, but in spite of this the mayor has re fused to abandon his course and is still aftfer the freight carriers. This forces us, who want the railroads to continue to carry freight as in the past, to taka up the fight as If we were against tho city, while In reality we are simply opposing the course of the mayor."
