LAWSON BILKED BE
BY WILY ROGERS
Man of Frenzies Tells How the
"System" Beat Him Out
of Millions.
Speoial to The Journal.
New York, June 21.-^-Thomas W.
Lawson, in the July installment of hia
story, "Frenzied Finance,?' in Every
body's Magazine, says H. H. Rogers
tried to swindle him out of $7,000,000
of his share of the profits of the Amal
gamated Copper deal, "the crime of
Amalgamated," and tells how he act
ually did cut him out of about $4,000,-
000 in the final division of the spoils.
He says his share should have been at
least $9,000,000.
The two met in Mr. Rogers' office
in the Standard Oil building. Mr. Law
son says he was prepared to look for
real deviltry, and, according to his own
account, he found it. Mr. Eogers pro
duced a slip of paper, remarking that
it was a "good time to clear decks,"
and handed it to Mr. Lawson, saying:
"There 's our account." Mr. Lawson's
story follows:
Lawson "Saw Red."
I turned to the paper I leaned over It,
letting my two hands with the elbow
resting on the table support my head.
Mr. Rogers could see no part of my face.
At the first glance I caught the balance,
it was a little less than two millions and
a half. At once the other lines upon the
sheet became a crimson blur.
I fiercely asservated to myself, "I must
be cool, I must, I must!" But all my
resolutions went as goes the powder when
touched by the match. In an instant
nothing in the world mattered all dams
burst asunder I sprang to my feet, kickea
over the chair, and with an exclamation
which was half a yell of imprecation,
1 struck the paper under Mr. Rogers'
eyes. On the balance line I beat a tattoo
with my trembling forefinger.
All Barriers Down.
Then I caught my voice. Heaven
knows what I said, for all barriers were
down and a flood-tide of rage, over
whelming, terrific, swept my being. There
was no chance for Mr. Rogers to answer
or interrupt me. Suddenly I became con
scious that I was saying, "Am I to un
derstand that this is final? Is this what
I get for my cursed work?" My voice
as I heard it was strange, a' hoarse hiss
and the words fell on my ears like a death
sentence. 'No, by no!" I sprang
between him and the door.
"Lawson, stop for a second there Is
some mistake some terrible blunder that
they have made upstairs. Don't utter
another word. Give me that paper and
I'll take it to Mr. Rockefeller. He will
see what is wrong. He and I'll go over it
together and you shall have what's right.
I will be back in a few minutes and I
swear to you you shall have your full
share. Yes, I swear to you, you shall
have what you say is right, even if it
takes every dollar of the profits, every
dollar!"
Went "After More Money."
I handed him the paper without a word.
He was out of the room instanter. I
heard gates bang, and knew he had, as
he promised, "gone upstairs.' I locked
the door, and I shall never forget the
racking torture of that interval of wait
ing.
"A series of disasters began a cinemata
graphic procession across my disordered
brain, so portentously realistic that I
found myself shivering in anticipation,
when suddenly the doorknob clicked and
I jumped to my feet to admit Mr. Rogers.,
In his hand was the paper. I had eyes for.
it alone. I took it from the outstretched
fingers and devoured its contents. It was
the same sheet, the same word "bal-
ance," but underneath the old figures.was
a line, below which appeared a new set
of ciphers, showing just a fraction under
five millions of dollars.
His Balance Doubled.
In the brief interval of minutes my bal
ance had doubled. Before I could utter
a word, with his hand on my arm to
arrest my attention, Mr. Rogers was ex
claiming:
"Lawson, one- word before you open
your mouth. Remember I said you should
be satisfied. Mr. Rockefeller agrees with
me. He thinks these figures are now
right, but ^wanted me to tell you if you
believe they are not, to make your own
and you will have what they call for."

SOUTH DAKOTA REPORTS PARTIC-
ULARLY ENCOURAGING.
Jamestown, N. D., District Is Not Wor
rying Over Rust, but Around Pembina
Some Alarm Is Felt and Cereals There
Are Suffering from an Excess of
Moisture.
Specials to The Journal.
Jamestown, N. D., June 21.-Farmers
in this vicinity are not alarmed over
the reported prevalence of the rust
spores on barberry bushes, altho the
commonly known "buck brush" is said
to be a similar shrub and is widely scat
tered thruout the state.
More flax has been seeded in this
county this year than last, owing to the
better prices and the necessity of rotat
ing crops. Max is one of the best crops
to sow at long intervals in the rotating
scheme that the farmers have as yeat
found- The crop promises a fine yield.
Mitchell, S. D., June 21.Farmers
from all 'parts of the county report
that wheat, oats and barley are mak
ing a rapid growth. Corn is a little
backward owing to the late planting
season. Many farmers have already
commenced to cut their first crop of
alfalfa, which they consider will be
good for two more cuttings.
Miller, S. D., June 21.Crops of
wheat, oats and barley never promised
so -well. The hay is assured and is
heavy. Corn is looking well and the
acreage is large. I is predicted that
potatoes will hardly be worth the dig
ging on account of the now assured pro
lific crop. Already the problem of help
to secure the immense crops in sight is
being discussed.
Frazee, Minn!, June 21.-Recent
heavy rains have helped the crops.
Wheat is growing splendidly but rust
is greatly feared thru the rain. Wheat
in this district was practically de
stroyed by the rust last year.
Feigus Falls, Minn., June 21.
Charles Kissinger, government weather
observer, reports that the rainfall from
May 1 to June 20 was nine inches. The
fall in May was 5.83 inches, and the
fall thus far in June 3.17. Notwith
standing the unprecedented precipita
tion, there is very little water standing
on the fields.
Pembina, *N. D., June 21.Owing to
heavy rains the crop prospect is unpar
alleled. In many places in this county
crops were drowned out after being
seeded twice. The rain of the past
thre days, -has stopped seeding of bar
ley. Bust is appearing in some fields

WEE GIRL WILL BE
TRIED FOR MURDER
Antoinette Seidensticker Is In

Shooting of Young Shipp.
Wheaton, Minn., June 21.A tmy
girl, wearing dresses that barely touch
her shoetops, in appearance a bashful
child, Antoinette Seidensticker, the 14-
year-old daughter of Fred Seidenstick
er, a farmer, yesterday afternoon un
flinchingly heard the news that she had
been indicted for murder in the, first
degree* for slaying her 19-year-old lover,
Herman Shipp, on May 25.
Not a word did she utter, not a
change occurred in her expression, when
she realized that she had been branded
a murderess. She calmly returned o
her cell to await her trial, which may
begin at the next term of court, June 27.
The' crime for which she stands in
dicted was One of the most shocking in
the history of the county. Driving to
this city, borrowing a revolver, going to
