Biff Deiptttches from Dallas, Tex., rocotrodin
W jfaw York yesterday cliron'jclcd tho death of
BBif TVillthm Fnlk. Hollas co'.ton buyer. After
KV InUmatliur that Falls was u. auJclde, the do
B$ spatchea outlined tlio worktop of an alleged
Hf gann of Mvlndlura, of whom.F.vlk was Bald to bo
Ktt one, amon5 tho cotton buyors of Texas and of
Wffi fforts on tho part of the Unrtcd States Gov
? arnment to break up tho (ranif. It was stated
Ku that this alloeod Banc has, la tho past fow
ip years, succoeded In swindling: cotton brokers In
Kffi this city out of thousands of dollars.
' According to tho dospittchos. 1'alk died aud
WW deply at the McLeod llotol In Dallas Inst
fw Friday night. Tito hours before his death ho
WW scorned to bo perfectly vroll. Ho was taken
W( rlolontly "I nd Physicians wero summonod.
Rv They diagnosed the caso as ono of cholera
W morbus, and prescribed accordingly. Tho doo-W-
tors did not consider thn patient's condition
Mflk particularly sorlouB. Tito hours after they
Rv ytne called In Folk was dead. Mr. Hamilton.
MM the United States District Attorney for tho dls
BS trlct In which Dallas Is, is quotod as saying
B& that shortly before Folk was taken 111 ho took
KijS a doso of nux Tomlco. At tho roquost of tho
Wm man's rolatlvcs no autopsy waB made, and tho
Kfit body was shipped to MeruphU for burial.
BHj It Is probablo that Falk'a connection with tho
Kv alleged pang of swindlers would not havo been
K$ inspected for soino tlmo tho was known as ono
& of tho largest cotton buyers In Texas) had It '
k not been for things ld nnd dono by tho.Unltcd I
rtf States District Attorney after tho man's death .
?j, and had he not died n few hours after it bo
ra? camo known that tho Federal Grand Jury, sit
M ting In Dallas, had returned a number of In
if: rlldtments oiralnst persons whoso names wcro
S' carefully concealed. As soon as Kalk's sud-
& den death becamo known the United States
' District Attorney asked permission of tho un-
v dcrtakcr to havo tho dead man's faco pboto-
k graphed. Tho undertaker rofuscd tho request,
H and Judgo Doarman of tho Federal Court is-
Q& sued an ordor directing tho undertaker to per-
tn rnlt tho photograph to bo taken. After this
Sf had been Uono United Htntos District Attorney
life Iltunlltoii stilled that had Falk llvod ho would
Si undoubtedly hat o been arrested. Under an
t&L order Troui tho court, Falk's tafo deposit boK
: was cxatninud and moro thnn $3,000 In cash
'Sjr and n largo amount of securities wcro found.
33 Wbllo the operations of tho alleged gang havo
M been known for somo time, It Is only within two
!& weeks that measures liavo been taken to bring
m the supposed swindlers to Justice. Tho ile-
;W spatches stato that among tho New York Arms
is that wcro swindled was that of C. Schumnchor
S & Co. of CO Kxchango pluce, and It is also staled
m, that It was largely upon tno testimony of Charles
Mr Schumacher, Jr.. ono of tho members of tho tlrm,
Mf that tho Federal Grand Juty returned tbe In-
j dictments mentioned. In conversation with a
jSt cotton broker familiar with tho methods of the
(S alleged Bwludlers, a reporter of The Hon
iv learned Bomctblng about their transactions.
Ms This man said:
M. It la truo that cotton brokers In this city
'!?L havo been tho victims of a gang of swindlers
in Texas, somo of them as prominent cotton
i buyers as any In that Slutc. OtherB of tho
W- gang poso as uujors and really do a small busl-
Vji ness. Tho operations of tho gang havo extended
J over nearly ten year. Tho dodgo they havo
& worked has always been tho same, and It is only
n short tlmo ago that thcro seemed to be any
A tiro'peet of beating them at tho game or of
? bringing thorn to Justice. I havo been Informed
m of. tho sudden death of this man Fulk. 1 did
Mi not know him and never beforo heard it Intl-
M mated that ho was ono of tho gang.
5 "The gamo tho gang worked was very simple
i' hut ono that I have never known any swindler
$f outside this gang to resort to. When a Texas
Ss bm cr has sold a cargo of cotton ho usually ships
4f It uy rail to Galveston, whence It Is transported
by steamer to New York, and rcshlppcd here to
ffl tho consignee. Onco tbo cotton is on tho cars
if in tho town from whlcli It Is shipped, tho ship-
St' per draws a draft on tho consignee, attaches
'it his bill of lading to It. nnd also tbo insurnnco
E'ji policy on tho cargo, and has tbo draft discount-
3 ed at his local bank. Tho bank forwards tho
fjjo.. draft, with Us attachments, to Its Now York
correspondent, which sells tho draft to some
W , exchango broker,
& "These follows always shipped a cargo of nl-
f! leged cotton and tho alleged consignee was ol-
vl ways a foreigner. In due tlmo tho draft on
ST this foreign consignee would be returned pro-
iV tested, tbo protest being accompanied with the
;tS statement Uiat no such cargo had been pur-
3s, chased. Tho protested draft would, of course,
r llnd Its way back to tho man who drow It. Ho
ii would always haasomo excuso ready, suy
p"'j there bad been somo mistake or ask for an ex-
; tension of time, or mako somo other bluff. A
w, llttlp time was usually granted nnd In that tlmo
cr be would skip from the place in which ho had
Mi; been doing business and turn up somonlicro else
rt undor another namo and w ork tho samo trick
t over again.
IX 'Tho broker who got stuck with tho bogus
'si draft had only ono rocourso after this, and that
y was to watch for tho steamer bearing tho cot-
ton to this port. On tho arrival of tlio steamer
& ho would attach tho cargo. When ho attempted
gi- to sell he would find out tho real character of
),if tho cotton ho had attached. Tho bales, in-
i stead of containing cotton,wnuld contat what
9 Is known In the trado as 'linte. 'Unters'
.-.& has n flbro about half nn inch long, whereas
'& the fibre of cotton Is much longer. 'Llnters' Is
p& worth about half as much as cotton, or less
2 than half. You can thus see whero tho broker
3 como In.
ib, "Instead of following tho usual courso of
&SF business In getting their drafts discounted,
gtheso fellows would send tho drafts by mall
direct to somo Now York exchango brokor. It
did not seem possiblo to brinir ary of tliem to
justice, until a l'o-it Ollico Inspector hero con
cluded that they could bo charged with using
Iho malls forfrnudulcnt purposes. Hiicbachargo
sw was made, and the Federal Grand Jury in
Mv Dallas returneil Indictments against several of
(J tho gang. Until I hear whether they havo been
Z arrested or not I do not cars to glvo nnv name ".
St Hlnco they have bocn operating I suppose they
wS havo realized from tho strlndlo upward of
il SJSOO.OOO."

Monday, Jan. 21.
Dnrlnjr the first half of tho day tho stock
market was In tho main uninteresting. Tho
only animation was In tho local traction stocks.
Now York Central nnd Consolidated Oas. They
wero exceptionally atronff. Amonctho special
ties exceptional strength was shown by Consoli
dated Ice, Third Avcnuo Rallroid and Clilcnco
and Eastern Illinois preferred. Tho trading
throuchont tho list was almost entirely of a
professional character. Proof that this was tho
caso was furnished In tho lato doallncs, when
tho entire list docllnod sharply, owing: to n
misapprehension rcgardlnR the Instruction of
tho Government to tho warships at Key West.
For an hour or more tho speculative community
acted simply upon tbe baro statement that ono
member of that fleet had been orderod to
Havana. The official explanation of tho Secre
tary of the Navy ns to tho poll:y of tho Govern
ment and as to the movemonts ot our warships
in Southern wntors was not published until
after tho close ot business. Iho 8ocrctary's
statement Is quite likely to dlsposoof tho mis
apprehension that existed on tbo Stock Kx
chango this afternoon, and which rcsultod in
oxtonslvo liquidation by small speculative
holders nnd in cffoctlvo selllnc by operators for
a decline
In tho last two hours of business tho market
becamo fairly actlvo nnd all of tho slocks that
woro oxtenslvoly traded In, with the exceptions
of New York Central, Metropolitan Hallway,
Consolidated Ons and Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
closod a point or moro lower than on Saturday.
Tho four stocks named lost nearly all of tbolr
early Improvement. Tbo irreatost net losses
wcro sustained by tho Northern Pacific shares,
which Is not surprising In view of tbo popular
ity they havo enjoyed for somo tlmo past. All
of tho news havlnc a.benrlnir upon actual vnluos
was favorable, but tbo speculative element,
which has been under a good deal of tension of
late, oniric to the revival of tho stiver debato tn
tbo Senate and tho rocont disturbances at Ha
vana, appears to bo susceptlblo only to political
and International developments, nomattorhnw
trivial their character may be. Tho closing waa
in tho main heavy, though a fow stocks recov
ered fractionally from tho lowest prices.
Final Balos compare with those of Saturday
