ONE MORE COMET
la Hung at the Belt of Observer
Perrinj
SAN JOSE, March 20.—The second comet
of the year 189S was discovered at the Lick
observatory this morning about 4:30 oclock
by C. D. Perrlne. It is situated in the west
ern portloti of the constellation Pegasus,
south of tho star lota. Its position at
6 h. 3 m. 66 8., Greenwich mean time, was:
Right ascension. 21 h. 18 m. 36.89 s., with
declination north, 16 d. 43 m. 23.3 s.
It Is moving north one degree per day
and east nearly 4 m. of time. The comet Is
as bright as a star of the seventh magni
tude, and can be seen with a very small
telescope. The head Is round and about
two minutes of arc In diameter, with a
bright central condensation ten seconds
in diameter. This nucleus is not stellar,
hut has a granulated appearance. A tall
about one degree long extends away from
the sun.
As soon as two more observations can be
secured its orbit will be calculated at the
Lick observatory. Until this is done, little
can be said of its future movements.
The last six comets have been consecu
tively discovered at the Lick observatory
by Assistant Astronomer C. D. Perrlne.

SURE THING GAME
FOR ALL BUT THE MAN WITH
THE MONEY
FOREST AS A FINANCIER
.
WEEKLY REPORTS OF 810 GAINS
FOR VICTIM!
BUSTED WALL STREET BUBBLE
Dr. W. E. Forest's Various Schemes by
Which He Ingeniously "Di
rected" Investment?
The little South Sea bubble Is what the
victims call it, but Dr. W. E. Forest terms
it a case of misfortune, unforeseen circum
stances, tho fortunes of the "the street,"
etc. Call it what he may, there does not
appear to be much chance for the people
who Invested their money In good faith
to recover any portion of it. Whether
"the street" swallowed up the missing
' $50,000 or whether certain favored people
got away with the stuff will have to be
determined by the courts when Dr. Forest
Is taken east and tried for grand larceny.
Dr. Forest appears to have been a Nepo
leon of schemers, and whether directing'
stock operations on the New York ex
changes, promoting gigantic mining
schemes or establishing stock companies
to operate horseless carriages, he has been
as much at home as a duck in a puddle
of water. The alleged operations of Dr.
Forest have been confined principally to
DR. W. E. FOREST
(From a sketch made in Jail.)
j the section of country east of the Mississ
ippi river, ana when he was arrested last
Friday it was not supposed that any of
his former "clients" would be found in this
state. Chief Glass discovered one yes
terday, a former resident of Indianapolis,
Ind., who Is residing in Los Angeles for his
health. The name of this victim of Dr.
Forest's Investment schemes is withheld,
but he has supplied an extensive corre
spondence which passed between himself
and Dr. Forest, or the latter's Indianapo
lis agent.
In a nutshell, the scheme of Dr. Forest
was to induce people to inrest a certain
amount of money and allow him to direct
its Investment. If a profit was secured
the doctor got 20 per cent commission; if
lost, he lost nothing except his commis
sion. The experience of the Indianapolis
man is probably similar to all the others,
and It supplies a lesson In financiering that
only the comprehensive mind of a Vaux
could fully appreciate. Poor old "Poker"
Davis could not comprehend it. The pro
portions were too gigantic.
FOREST'S AGENT
Dr. Forest had an agent, Thos. S. S. Kerr,
who had an office In Indianapolis. His
business appears to have been to explain
the splendid scheme and induce people of
Indiana to deposit their money, whether
great or small, in the hands of certain
brokers under the auspices of Dr. Forest.
Kerr seems to have been kept pretty busy,
and when the time lay idle on his hands
he made an entry every minute in his books
that a fresh "sucker" had been born and
mentally determined to go forth and find
the aforesaid "good thing." The gentle
man who visited Chief Glass yesterday had
looked over the prospectus of the plan
pursued by W. E. Forest and Invested
$150. In a pamphlet given out and written
by Dr. Forest the Investor was Informed
how, by pooling his money with others in
the syndicate and allowing Dr. Forest to
direct tho Investment, he could make 5
per cent a week. The Indianapolis man
read the prospectus, bit and grew wise.
On November 21, 1896, he entered into an
agreement with Forest by which he depos
ited $150 with Van Tassell & Co. of 50
Broadway, brokers, to be used as margin
in the purchase and sale of various stocks,
W. R. Forest being appointed by the party
of the first part as agent to act and direct
the Investment. In justice to Dr. Forest
it must be said that in his advertisements
and prospectus he always stated positively
•that he was neither a banker nor a broker
and accepted no money, being only an in
vestment agent. He did not state it In his
ad.butallheasked was 20ppr cent of the net
profits which might accrue from the In
vestment. This system was what was
known as the "syndicate Investment" plan,
by which a number of petty Investors
pooled their capital and allowed one man,
Dr. Forest, to direct It for them. The
agreement between the Indianapolis man
and Forest was signed by Kerr, the agent,
for the latter.
POOR CONDITIONS
On November 28 the weekly report came
signed, W. E. Forest. This report Is
nothing but a typewritten circular, and
the name of Forest Is signed by the ma
chine type. This report dealt with the
poor condition of the market, due to va
rious causes, but added that some profits
were picked up on the short side of
grangers and Redding. The capital of the
"Syndicate" for that week was given as
$39,896, the total profits on closed transac
tions, $992, and the commission of Dr. For
est $195 for the week. Consequently on his
investment of $150 the Indianapolis man
was told that he had made a profit of $3.
This was not much, but it was better than
losing, so the Indianapolis man allowed
both his capital and dividend to stay an
other week. On the following week came
another report in which the profits were
announced as 2 per cent, which had netted
him about $300 more, Dr. Forest in the
meanwhile receiving his commission. Any
one of the reports is characteristic of the
entire bunch. Always a tale of dividends
varying from 1 to 3 per cent for the week,
the doctor's commission being Included.
"AMUSING" REPORTS
The reports were very amusing for a
number of things in them.
They were nothing but a weekly series
of "Jollying," telling of the good times that
were coming, and referring to how some
break or change in the market had been
foretold by the doctor in a previous month.
The star of the "syndicate" continued,
under the management of Dr. Forest, In
the ascendent. No matter what he
touched, it turned to profit. Dr. Forest,
If the letters bearing his name can be
taken for any criterion, must have estab
lished some sort of mental understanding
with the stock market, for he knew what
was due, and acted accordingly. In other
words, he did the right thing at the right
time, and the members of the "syndicate"
profited and waxed fat In their purses each
week.
Van Tassell & Co. went out of busi
ness in December, 1896, disposing of their
place to J. D. Whitney & Co. A circular
letter signed W. E. Forest was sent out to
the members of the "syndicate," an
nouncing the change, and Inclosing a no
tice requesting the investors to transfer
their money from Van Tassell to the new
firm. This was no doubt done In all cases
for who can resist having money made for
them at the rate of three per cent a week?
With the new firm the profits continued
the same, and everybody In the "syndi
cate" blessed the name of Dr. Forest, the
kind man who was helping them to get
rich.
CLOUDS GATHERING
But there is an end to all good things, and
so a dark cloud gathered over the heads of
the syndicate some time In April, but it
was not before a new scheme had been
suggested by the doctor. This consisted
of a "wheat syndicate," by which the in
vestors bought wheat instead of stocks.
A big profit was assured In this. In the
printed letters sent out, the statement was
I made that a gentleman from New York
I had been so pleased with the scheme that
he had invested 110,000. The Forest In
vestment company was also being pushed,
and people were told what an excellent
| thing it was. The cloud broke on April
i 29, however, when a letter was received
I signed W. E. Forest, stating that owing to
| the former "syndicate" system having
I been In violation of the postal laws it
would be necessary to discontinue It, pend
ing a decision from the postmaster general.
They proposed to Immediately form the
Forest Investment company, and the in
vestor could secure stock in that company
by ordering the broker to transfer to the
Investment company all the interests in
the syndicate. Somehow, the clients did
not appear to take as kindly to the new
company as Dr. Forest had expected, for

nothing further.
FINAL CRASH
But the crash of Whitney & Co. ended
the entire scheme and lost thousands of
dollars for the investors and threw Dr.
Forest out of a big sum to direct. His bus
iness having gone to smash he closed his
office at 50 Broadway.and It Is significant
that both the brokerage firms were located
at the same place. He came west,
Dr. Forest has become interested In some
mining ventures while here that are stu
pendous enough to have excited the mar
vel of the old bonanza kings. He also has
a deal on hand with M. O. Godding of
Redlatrds to form a sitock company to build
gasoline horseless carriages.
Dr. Forest was Interviewed last night in
the city Jail by a Herald representative.
Dr. Forest said that he had discovered a
document which would show the charger,
of McElwee, who has caused his arrest, to
be groundless. McElrwee, the doctor sta'
ed, had claimed that he had sold $5900 worth
of stock In the syndicate and pocketed the
money. On the other hand, Dr. Forest
claims that he merely had handed this
stock, the property of McElwee, to another
gentleman as collateral security for a
deposit of some money with J. D. Whitney
& Co., and taken a receipt to this effect.
,In fact the doctor said he had nothing to
do with the transaction but had merely
handed the stock to the man for Mr. Nes
bet of the Whitney company, as fnat per
son was absent from the city. By what
authority Nesbet had given the stock be
longing to McElwee as collateral he did
,not know. Dr. Forest denied positively
that he had ever supplied the Investors
with weekly reports, claiming that the
brokers had always done this. His state
ment In this respect is in direct refutation,
however, of the printed documents left
with Chief Glass.

to state that the Carlist party has no Inten
tion of committing any act In which Don

This appears to be confirmed by other
and well authorized reports.
The Globe, referring to the rumor that
Don Jaime, the "restless" son of Don Car
los, would in a short time come to Spain
to execute a deed which should accredit
him pretender, his father resigning In his
favor his rights to the crown, says well
known Carlists deny the accuracy of the
report and say that they will take no part
In the elections—which means they will
live Inside the law—in ordier to protest
against the policy pursued by the national
government during the last few days.
The Paris (Revolution) heads an article
"King Jaime," in which It banters the
Heraldo on Its telegram, bidding it to re
joice rather than to he sad, since the Span
ish revenue must at least benefit by the
change for the stamp of the "deed of pre

Spain to execute.

Carlists. urging them to do all in their
power at the approaching elections to re
turn Carlist candidates, the only party
which has clean hands In the disgraceful

only party which can restore to Spain her
ancient honor and glory.

Flans For State Buildings Are Coming
in Rapidly
OMAHA, Neb., March 20.—Plans for
state buildings at the transmlssissippl ex
position are coming in rapidly. The de
partment of publicity has just received the
architect's drawings of the Minnesota
building, the Montana building, the Arkan
sas building, the Denver building and the
Missouri building. The plans for the pro
posed lowa building meet the hearty appro
val of the exposition authorities. The Illi
nois building Is nearly completed. The
Wisconsin building is well under way. The
Nebraska building is practically com
pleted. The plans for the Denver, or Colo
rado building, have been accepted and the
contract will be let in a day or two. Plans
for the Georgia pine palace have been sub
mitted. It will be a handsome structure,
built wholly of pine donated by the people
of Georgia. The Minnesota building will
be constructed on similar lines of unhewn
logs. Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn and will be submitted
next week. Other states send assurances
that plans for their state buildings will be
forthcoming within a short time. It is
highly probable that the states of New
York and New Jersey will construct hand
some buildings.
Thirty-five states have decided to partici
pate In the exposition. In thirty of these
commissions have been appointed and re
ports from agents in the field are to the
effect that at least live more states will be
organized within the next few days. The
great government building, 500 feet long,
and the pinnacle of whose dome is nearly
200 feet high, is nearly done. The manage
ment finds It necessary to build several an
nexes to accommodate the extraordinary
demand for exhibit space.
BERLIN, March 20.—Theodore Ledner,

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, March 20.—The depart
ment of state Is Informed by the United
States consul general at Ottawa, Ont„ that
the same duties are Imposed on goods des
tined for the Klondike regloin as are im
posed on goods imported Into any other
part of Canada. The instructions to the
Canadian customs officers touching on this
matter are as follows 1:
Wearing apparel, articles of personal
adornment, toilet articles and similar per
sonal effects of persons arriving in Canada
to be passod free, without entry at cus
toms as travelers' baggage, under the pro
visions of the customs tariff: but the pro
vision shall Include only such articles as
actually accompany and are in the use of
anil as are necessary and appropriate for
the wear and purpose of the Journey and
present comfort and convenience, and shall
not be held to apply to merchandise or arti
cles intended for other persons or for sale.
In the absence of rulings by the board
of customs as to articles Included in the
foregoing regulation, customs officers al
the port of entry are to decide the classes,
quantity of wearing apparel and like arti
cles entitled to pass free under the above
provision, having due regard to the length
of the journey to the reasonable require
ments of the traveler for his comfort and
convenience of the Journey.
Articles of personal adornment, however,
may be held to include one watch and the
jewelry ordinarily In use by the traveler.
For a traveler to the Klondike region a
pair of blankets and a fur robe and change
of apparel for use on the journey may be
passed free.
Miners' old pans are free under tariff
Stem No. 555 as separators.
MINERS DRIVEN BACK
VICTORIA, B. C, March 20.—The steam
er Danube arrived from Skaguay today.
She brir.ge many miners from Wrangel,
who were unable to go in by the Stiekeen
route. The bark Canada, wrecked near
Skaguay, has been seized by the United
States marshals at Sitka, who refuse to al
low the cargo, which Includes much lum
ber for the bridges on the Skaguay wagon
road, to be discharged.
.A VESSEL OVERDUE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—Some anx
iety is expressed here for the safety of the
schooner Nellie Q. Thurston, now 159 days
out from New York with a party of Klon
dikers. The schooner Thos. F. Negus,
which arriredf here yesterday from New
Haven, Conn., reported that the Thurston
left Playa Parda cove in her company, but
that when about eighty miles off shore
they were separated by a furious hut/i
--cane. The passengers on the Negus ex
pected to meet the Thurston here. The
Thurston carried nineteen passengers,
among whom are Mrs. N. Bowles, the only
lady passenger, and a son of a New York
brewer named Mills. Shipping men seem
to think that the missing schooner will put
Into this port within a few days, and ex
press tho opinion that she has met vtf;h
adverse weather.
CARGOES FOR ALL CRAFT
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-The dis
engaged tonnage in this port is smalier
than it has been for years. It is a ques
tion as to whether, since San Francisco
has been a port of any size, there have
ever been so few idle vessels in the har
bor.' Tho large grain crop of last year
cleaned the port of deep sea ships and the
gold discoveries in Alaska and the conse
quent rush to the north have provlfled oc
cupation for all available vessels.
DOWN FROM DYEA
ASTORIA, Ore., March 20.-The steamer
Oregon arrived this evening from Dyea
and Skaguay, making tho passage in five
days. She brings fourteen passengers. The
passengers report that the epidemic of
spinal meningitis in Skaguay is abating,
no deaths having occurred for several days.
The Oregon will leave for Portland tomor
row morning.
A MINERS' QUARREL
DYEA, Alaska, March 4, via. Astoria,
Ore., March 20.—Frank Clement of Hllls
boro, 0., was shot and killed at Sheep
camp this morning by Gottlieb Schneider
of Howard county, Maryland. A lynch
ing was averted only by the prompt action
Of the officers in getting the murderer out
of the way. He Is now In jail at this place.
Clement lived several hours, but failed
to givo an account of the quarrel. Schneid
er's story, told to an Associated Press cor
respondent, Is as follows:
"I met Clement coming up on the steamer
Elder in February and saw him once here
and in Dyea afterward. Several days after
we got here Clement came to me and said
that his partner had decided to go back
and he wanted me to buy the outfit and go
to Dawson with him. I told him that I
had nothing with which to buy it. He then
told me ht- had enough money to buy out
his partner and if I would go along with

of me for It. The next morning, as I was
getting breakfast, he told me to get out.
I told him I would do so if he would pay
me for what packing I had done. Yester
day we had another quarrel, and In the
evening I was sleeping in the tent when
Clement came In and yelled as me: 'Stop
that snoring or I'll cut your throat.' I
said nothing, but got no sleep, being afraid
he would carry out his threat. This morn
ing I was cooking breakfast when he came
In and said he was going to divide some of
the flour we had bought together and then
sell the other outfit. I told him he had
already sold It to me, but ha said: 'Yes.
when you have paid for It.' I told him I
wanted what was fair for my work. He
said: 'To hell with your work.' I grabbed
him and he reached around and got a knife
and said he would cut my heart out. I
reached for my revolver and cocked It, and,
holding my thumb so that the hammer,
which would not stay up alone, would not
drop. Clement hit my hand and knocked
my thumb off. which discharged the gun.
He ran outside, crying that he had been
shot and I went out and gave myself up to
the officers."
Schneider was surrounded by the mob,
and threats were made of hanging him,
but he was gotten away before the threat
was put into execution.
Three gamblers and all-around toughs
wero arrested and jailed today on suspicion
of being murderers of Sam Roberts, who
was murdered yesterday. One of them,
named Corbett, had a bullet wound in his
shoulder, supposed to have been inflicted
in the melee.
A saloon and lodging house belonging to i
Henry Douglass burned a week ago, and
two men perished. The wife of one of
the dead men says her husband had con- ■
siderable money, which is now missing. It
is supposed the house was set on fire.
ANOTHER MURDER
SEATTLE, Wash., March 20.—Skaguay
has had another murder, according to the
officers of the steamers Al Xi and Huen
eme, which arrived here direct from
Lynn canal today. On last Monday night
a laboring man was shot by a colored wo
man of the lower clas3 at tho entrance to
her cabin in the saloon district of Skaguay.
He died shortly before the steamers sailed
Tuesday morning. The murder was the
result of trouble which began early Mon
day evening over the disappearance of the
man's watch. The Al ICt left Skaguay on
Tuesday noon. The captain saw no
steamers ashore on the way down, nor did
he see anything of the little gasoline
schooner Bessie X, which is a week over
due from Skaguay.
The damage sustained by the Hueneme's
cargo which caught fire on her upward
trip, is estimated at J6OOO.
The steamers City of Seattle and Utopia
sailed tonight for Dyea and Skaguay,
Alaska, with 330 passengers from this port.
The ship Yosemite also sailed for the same
ports with 67 passengers and 2000 tons of
cargo. She carried SO head of burros.
The steamer Excelsior sailed for Copper
river with 157 passengers.
ROUGH WEATHER
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., March 21.—
The steam schooner Scotia, en route from
Seattle to Dyea with forty passengers, is
still here, having made two ineffectual at
tempts to cross the straits of Fuca. Both
times the schooner was forced to put back
on account of the high wind and heavy
sea. As the wind is going down tonight,
she will probably get away In the morning.
MRS. THURSTON BURIED
A Tremendous Concourse Gathered at
Omaha
OMAHA, March 20.—The body of the late
Mrs. John M. Thurston was followed to the
grave by a tremendous concourse of peo
ple this afternoon. All Omaha was out,
and many people from other points in Ne
braska and other states were in attend
ance. The body was brought from Wash
ington in a special car this morning. At
the house private services were held, after
which the casket was removed to All
Saints' church. Rev. Thomas J. McKay
preached over the rendition of the Protest
ant-Episcopal ritual for the burial of the
dead. In his sermon the minister referred
feelingly to the mission of Mrs. Thurston
to Cuba which cost her her life. He paid
a high tribute to her character as a woman
and to the Intense patriotism and human i
inspiration that led her to accompany her ,
husband on the trip from which he re- i
turned to bury her. ,
The Kid Is Married
SPRINGFIELD, 0., March 20.— In an in
terview here today Kid McCoy stated that
he would leave early in April for San Fran
cisco. "My match with Gus Ruhlln will
come off there," said he. "After fhat I
will go after Choynski for a match. Yes,
my wife is a New York woman. It is none
of the public's business, though. She is
well connected there, and does not want
It known that she has married a prize
lighter. That is all there is in the secrecy
about her maiden name."
It is a good rule to talk to your wife
about other men as you would have them
talk to their wives about you.
