Victoria British Columbia, Oct. 15
rTke Rev. Norman Plate, ex-preeldent
f a gigantic land and mining Inveit
sent scheme known at the Redeem
able Investment company, which bal
lmost 11,000,0(10 ol the savings o(
women and ministers, Is not In Vic
toria. He was expected to arrive here
tty steamer from Seattle, but didn't
com. Ur. Plats Is being sought by
federal officers following the raid on
the company's offices in Botton. It
ma said be was coming here on busl
am with regard to large timber hold
ings said to be owned by the company
la British Columbia.
Boston, Oct 16 The raid and the
mat of Charles H. Brooks, manager
of the aampany, on a charge of using
tke malls to defraud, must be known
to Mr. Plass by this time, attorneys
for the company believe. They are
at the opinion that Mr. Plass will come
to Boston at once to face any charge
that may be made againtt him.
The Rev. Norman Plass of Newton.
JHaaa., was president of the company
np to about two weeks ago, when he
. jvtlgned.
The Redeemable Investment com-
litany occupied a suit of sumptuously
furnished offices In the Federal Trust
company bulldltg on ' Devonshire
tnec where they occupied the entire
auta Boor. Tor the last teres months
after have done a rushing business In
Arrestment t, dealing mostly with
uesua tad professional men, among
dnets several widely known ministers.
Oa the door of its offices were the
amraee of Charles B. Brooks, manager,
oat Norm to Plata, president. The
. ootaide windows of the suite bore as
Suturing Indicative of the kind of
tgteatneas dose within.

only true and bonaflfle safe Invest-,
meat scheme that ever' was devised.
The company, besides being capital
ized at f 10,000.000 and the possessor
of acres of timber and ranch land and
he finest mining properties, provided
the unusual feature of allowing the
Investor to withdraw bis money on de
mand. This Investment fund was to In
crease until It had reached the sum
of $250,000 dollars, which was then to
be deposited In the National Shawmut
bank, there to lie as a guarantee of
the solvency of the company and Its
ability to appease any dissatisfied In
vestors by the Immediate refunding of
their money. The government officials
assert that this fund was never In ex
'stence. Friends of Norman Plass, the
missing ex-pretident, say this money
was to secure only after the Invest
ments had been made, and that since
no stock to any great amount was
told the fund could not grow.
If anything more was needed to at
tire Investors who felt scary of their
money that the scheme was not all
right, Mr. Plass had only to point to
the Indorsement of such men ss Secre
tary Bellinger, ex-Comptroller Dawes
ind several other men of national Im
portance. Then too, he was a grad
uate of the Yale divinity school and of
Vllllams college where he had at
laifmatet, Mr. Bellinger, secretary
of the Interior. Besldea that he had
lerved Washburn college at Topeka,
Kan., for seven years as Its president
and bore a name unimpeachable and
noted for Its Integrity. After reading
the circulars hundreds of women and
mjnlttera and others who had saved
tmall amounts of money flocked to the
office. They brought with them
smounts ranglrg from the widow's
mite to the rich mans competence.
