WHOLESALE FRAUD IN THE SHIP DEAL RECEIVER OF UNITED STATES SHIP BUILDING COMPANY SUB MITS HIS REPORT. IS HIGHLY OVER-CAPITALIZED Smith Advocates Suit of Persons Who Paid Less Than Full Value for Stock in the Swindle. IY ASSOt'IATEI PRI..R. New York, Nov. a.--Sensational de velopnmcnts of willful false statements, falsification, swindling and fraud in the organization and flotation of the United States Shipbuilding company, of atttempts to mislead and deceive the investing peo pie, by prospectus iand statements and of a deliberate plan to wreck the company by withholhing the carnings of the Bethlehem Steel cotltmpany are colntained in the statement of James Smith, receiver of the United St,,tes Shipbuilding com pany, made public here yesterday. The report conctdules with the recom mendation that a suit be brought against all persons who received stock of the company without paying full value there for, including the proltmoters of the con solidation, the vendors of the consti tuent plants and Charles .M1. Schwab, to recover froml them sttch amlounlt as is ect ssa:ry to pay the debts of the cotm pany in full. To Sell Plants. Receiver Smith also recoNmmends the sale of the Crescent Shipyard plant in New Jersey and the liarlan aIuld Il lingsworth plaltnt at Wilmington, IDela., sutsidary plants now in operation, to avoid further loss by deipreciation altd the enforcement of a r ceivers.,hip for the Bethlehem Stocl coml:pany to ensure the payment of divilends on the Iethlehem Steel stock held by the Unlited States Shiplbuilding comlllpanly. In the words of the report, the or ganization of the comnpany is character ized as an "artistic switndle," Iece-iver Smith stating that the value of the plants, their caittnigs tand working capi tal, given in alleged reports of expert accouttlants vary so much front actual figures, "as to impel the belief that the figures were wilfully missltated;" that it is extremely doubtlful if such accountttants' reports were submitted at the organiiza tion of the comtpatny; that the organtiza tion was affected by dummy stockholl ers, directors and offlicers; that state ments ill tile lprospectusa issuled ont June 14, 190o, were incorrect; that, for prop erty worth $12,441,516, the shiphlilling company paid in stocks altd bonds $67, 997,000; that "the accolmmodating direc tors of the Utnited States Shilphilding cotmpany inl acquiring these compantlies de liberately gave away many million dollars in the stock and bhnds of the compan)y," "wholesale plunder," the receiver terms it -to a few persons, and that so far as the licthlchem Steel company is concerned, "its earnings have been withheld int a deliberate attemplt to wreck thu Ulited States Shipbuilding copllllany." As to the Scotts. In connection with the purchase of thile Union Irun works of San Francisco, Henry T. Scottt and Irving MI. Scott were to agree to enter into a contract with the shiphuilding company not to compete with it in its business and not to employ their capital or to personally engage in any shipyarding or building business for the period of ten years, and the company was to contract to enigage (;. \V. I)ickie, R. Forsythe and John T. Scott, as offi cers or managers for five years at an nual salaries of $lo,0oo; W. II. (ould as mining engineer for live years at $so, ooo per Sear; Lawrence I. Scott as as sistant conltructor at $5,lo)i per annum for five years; W. i'. Scott as a;sistant to the president of the Shiphnilding com pany for five years at the annual salary of $5,oio; II. A. Scott, as assistant to the enginl er in chi f, for five years at $.,ooo per anilnum, alll Edward Gunn, as assist ant chief draftsman, for three years at $3,,,) . The action of the Icethlehecn company in withholding carnings of upward of $2,ool,0 annullllly was, says Receiver Smith, with the apparent purpose of bringing ;,hoiut destruction of the ship building company. The report concludes with a discussion of the condition of the constituent com panics under the receivership, showing that the receiver had possession of all but the Bath and Union plants, but claim ilg that so long as the present board of directors of the I thlchctn company is retained, no benefit will accrue to the rc ceivership from this company. The receiver is convinced that the pres ent interests in his control are wholly hostile to the shipbuilding company and are endeavoring to circunmvent legal pro ceedings and that a separate receivership is necessary. TO PAY OFF LABOR CLAIMS Receiver Paul Fusz Authorized to Act for Granite-Bimetallic. Judge Napton at I'lhilipslurg Saturday afternoon authorized Receiver Paul Fuse for the Granite-Bimetallic coimplany to pay ofl $5,oo00 in ou;ttanding claims, largely labor claims contracted before the appointment of a receiver last July. The claims will be paid off today. The at fairs of the company are rapidly hiing adjusted and Mr. Fusz expl:e.;ses the hope that everything will be in condition for his discharge as receiver in about two weeks. There is general rejoicing in Granite county over the happy outcome of what looked like a had situation last sumler, when the property of the company was attached by an anxious creditor. A. V. Cory's Suit. Andrew V.

In it are recounlted the ipaticlnt steps tlhus far taken in the stilt juigationl of tie land. Thlie extent to which this conqiluest has progresse'd is most clearly indicated Iby the groiwth in population and in minleral ouitllput shown by the statistics of Alaska ill the last 20o years. Its populatioa l iof 430 whites ill 1880 hadl increased to .jt,4t0.t iin l).(io. IDulrilng the de cade betweseen 18il antd l aoo the annualh value of its outtpuit of preciolus metals rose from $772,107 to $8.265.772. The larger part of this growth bIegan. with the discovery, late in tihe allutumnl of 1896, of the placer detposits of Klondike river, ill Canadlian Yukon territory. An ilmpllortat part of the general movement toward tAlask;a that followed was directed toward ('ppellll r river, the itltilligratlion there first reachilnig contsiderable lpripor lions inl the spirng of 1898.

Army Officers at Work. At the same time map work was carried on by officers of the United States army who made known the geographic details of that of the Chugach range lying be 'tween Valdes bay and the Klutina and Copper rivers. In 19oo, Messrs. Schrader, Spencer, Gerdine and Witherspoon, all of the United States geological survey, spent the summer in the Copper river region. As a result of their work during that season the Kotsina and Chitina valleys and all their various routes of approach were accurately mapped, and the first compre hensive account of the geology and the mineral resources of the district from the hands of conmpletent experts was published. At the same time the signal corps of the United States army took up the work of telegraph construction. A line was begun at Valdes in 900oo and during the summer of 19o0 was corpplet id by way of the Copper River vallyg amtl Mentasta pass to Eagle, on the Yukon, connecting there with the line to Dhwson, thus completing the telegraphic communi cation between the interior of Alaska and the outside world. Recognizing the pros pective importance of the district, the United States geological survey in o90a, expended one-half of its Alaskan appro .priation in dispatching to the region two well equipped parties to continue the work begun in 19oo, until a practically complete map of the Copper Basin and the economi cally important contiguous regions should be made. It was the further object of those intrusted with the work to examine such mineral deposits of t'he districts had not been examined in 19oo. ntaIt Much Mineral There. d ' It sounds matter-of-fact enough; in reality it is a twentieth-century version of the old Nibelungen story. Treasures are there of' gold and silver, of copper and coal, Heroes there are a plenty, ready to do and dare all for possession of the hoard. To push their way across the trackless stretches of that northern land, searching for the places where the treas ures lie, is not so diocult for the bold and .hardy, but to know the treasure when they see it, and to bring it out when they have found It-that is the twetieth-century difficulty. To make this work easier, season after season a specal band of men, members of the United States geological survey, are using in that distant land all the cunning of their training and experience and are writing directions for all the awrld of modern argonauts. The particular report noted abobve, which was first announced some months eago, may now be obtained from the director of the United States geological survey, Washington, D.

AMERICAN WOMAN IS HIS BETE NOIR BRITISH MAGAZINE PUBLISHES A CHOICE MASS OF VITUPERA TION OF OUR GIRLS. BY ASS.A'ITEI:D PRESS. London, Nov. 2.-The American woman is declared to be a dangerous abnormal type in anl article by II. II. M. Watson, lpublished today by the "Ninueteenth Cen tury." From the writer's point of view American femininity is little better than a whited sepulchre. "The character of the American woman of today," he says, "is a product partly of racial modlification and partially of the social condition of a commercial age. \VWe have many opportunities of studying the American woman, for she has undertaken to anntex as much of Europe as practicable and has succeeded very fairly. It is con sidered by the taste of the day, quite cred itable that some porkpacker's dollars from Chicago should buy a coronet in Mayfair. "Evidence that American women are de liberately turning their back on natural laws have accumulated of recent years. "It would seem that while the American man unnaturally devotes all his days to money-making, the American woman as unnaturrally devotes her days to pleasure. Whereas tile average woman acted as a beast of burden to her lord, the American man works like a beast of burden beside his t riumphing lady. Unless American civilization alters, it would seem to be doomed." Columbian Revolution Due. BY ASSOCIATEiI PRESS.
