Speedy Horses
{Special, Dispatch to The Call]
DENVER, Colo., July 25. — "Stop
right where jou are. Hand over your
money."
That was the command addressed to
four motorists who were coming to
Denver Saturday morning in the Glide
car by two girl bandits, declared Clark
M. Babbitt, a Buffalo broker, who ar
rived at the Brown Palace hotel with
the Glidden tourists last night.
"And when one of the girls covered
us with a big revolver you can bet
«c didn't stop to argue, but promptly
produced our cash," Babbitt went on to
say; "that is, two of us forked over —
A. Y. Bartholomew, who was driving
the car, and myself. We were both
fitting on the same side of the car,.
and after the girls got our money they
wheeled their horses around and
dashed back up the road at breakneck
speed. I lost about $93 and Bartholo
mew nearly $100 and his gold watch.
"The girls waved to us first," said
Mr. Bartholomew, "and taking it for a
friendly salutation,, we waved back.
Some few words passed., between us,
when oen of them said. "Hold on there
a minute, I want to tell you some
thing.' In the meantime one of them
was covering us with a gun."

More Charges Against McCann ,
The Chicago Police Inspector
Collectors Confess to Turning Money Over to
Man Now Under Many Indictments
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
CHICAGO, July 25.— With a torrent of
fresh accusations' against Police ] In
spector Edward McCann of the Des
plaines street district, already under
tenfold indictment for bribery and mal
feasance in office, swelling in volume
almost hourly, and with; hundreds' of
subpenas falling like a Sunday snow
storm in the vice centers of tbe city,
the reopening of the graft investiga
tion of the Cook county grand jury,
scheduled for tomorrow .morning, be
came tonight a matter of acute specula
tion.
• While attaches of the state attor
ney's office worked all day and until
late in the evening "giving finishing
touches to indictments," the conviction
spread that State Attorney Wayman
has completed his plans for gorging the
grand jury with stories of bribery and
corruption In the respective levee dis
tricts of the city all this week.
WAYMAX IS SILENT
The sustained silence of Wayman as
to what he expects to accomplish with
ell the witnesses he has summoned and
is summoning was looked upon as sin
ister in^ircles where converatiort large
ly runs to "protection" and "men higher
up." After being absent from his house
on some mission which will not be made
public, Wayman turned up at night with
sealed lips, which were difficult for an
interviewer . to pry open long enough
for the most brief answer to. his ques
tions.
When shown the statements of ' In
spector McCann and his friends Way
man volunteered only this statement:
'The cases against McCann are now
pending in the criminal court, and it
would be beneath the dignity of my~bf
fice and unprofessional for me to enter
into any public discussion of them with
the defendant or his friends."
Assistant State Attorneys Thomas
Marshall and Victor P. Arnold, -who
are In charge of the Indictment depart
ment of the prosecutor's office, were
at their desks in the criminal court
building all of "the afternoon. A-bat
tery of stenographers was busy in an
other part of the building. The.assist
ant state attorneys were as noncommit
tal as the, chief, but from a trustworthy
source it was learned that the indict
ments being "fixed up" were to fit
cases of alleged graft in which true
bills were voted by the grand jury
Saturday. .'
Persistent reports from persons. in a
position to know stated that Wayman
already has received a list of names
of alleged civilian "collectors" of graft
in the respective \Mce centers of the
city. "Collecting syndicates" were
talked of as having been discovered in
the Twenty-second street levee district,
BOY BURGLARS USE
A WIRELESS PLANT
Modern Methods Are Employed
by Young Criminals in
Los Angeles
LOS AXGELES, July 25.— When Po
licemen Bowe and Browning yesterday
arrested four boys, whose ages range
from 14 to 17 years, In a deserted
shack at the corner of Blades and
Winter streets, they did not knew that
they had unearthed anything more
than a gang of youthful petty thieves,
but today it. was discovered that this
gang has been operating the most
modern and down to date "burglars'
club" ever ' found in the' city, .with
wireless telegraphy as one of its prin
cipal features.
Arthur Smith, 17 years. of age, seems
to be Ihe ruling spirit, of the gang,
and he was also the operator* of » the
principal wireless station. Four other
stations were operated, and', members
of: the gang were kept informed of
one another's movements by wireless,
according to the police.
In fact, it , was discovered today that
there are seven members of the;. gang
and that Smith was able to communi
cate with three of the^ members after
his arrest at the shack and acquaint
them with, the presence of the police
and permit them to hide. They were
captured today.
John Brown, "15; Burnett Ward, 16,
and Leslie Johnson, 14, were captured
with Smith. All reside in the neigh
borhood with their parents, but it is
alleged they . have . been engagedMn
petty thievery, bicycle stealing and
burglary for months. ,A deep pit near
the central wireless station : operated
by Smith contained \u25a0 much loot. The
police say Smith has confessed.

READY TO CONFESS
Some of the individuals alleged to
have been; served with subpenas were
reported as being ready to make "con
fessions" about the collection- of graft,'
as the Frank brothers, Louis and Ju
lius, have done in the Desplaines street
district.
As new stories: reflecting upon him,
rehearsed by keepers of .resorts and
their friends, came: to\the .ears of Me-
Cann today he only smiled and pre
served the calm manner with ;whlch
he has met every charge concerning
his levying of tribute on the owners of
the dens of vice In the Desplaines street
police: district. ; "Let them go as far
as they like; maybe they'll hang;them
selves," said the accused police offi
cial..
COLLECTORS DENOUNCE BIcCANN
Louis Frank, who told the grand
jury that he collected monthly dues
from the keepers of resorts and turned
the money over to v McCann, displayed
unusual eagerness to tell all he. knew
about the alleged .collection of graft
money.' Charley Genker — "Monkey
Charley"-— who is BCheduled to tell all
he. knows of graft conditions on the
west side to the grand jury today, was
also . loud In his denunciation of Mc-
Cann, who, he said, "held up every one
on the levee." - •
- Mike Heitler, known as" "Mike the
Pike," is also: due for a line of ques
tioning before the grand Jurors, but
he. was the silent man of the levee
during the'day... ; . .
"I know nothing," he told a reporter.
"To tell you the , truth," I - don't even
know McCann; except by sight. I never
talked with, him."
Frank asserted that Heitler was one
of McCann's' right hand' men. and said
he had seen the two riding in the dis
trict in an automobile together.
SAYS WOMEN ARE AFRAID
"I've nothing jto hold ' back," Frank
said. "This man McCann wouldn't let
any one live in the district without
paying tribute if he was connected in
any way with a resort. Not only, did
•Mike the Pike' collect forhim, but so
did Peter Cohen and ' Louis \ Marks and
his brother, Ike, and a lot of bad
women and worse men., went .to the
station and settled with McCann .in
person. I tell you every, one had to
pay. If lam lying. I hope that I never
sec ray four children' again and that
I die in my tracks. •
"If these women were not afraid of
their lives they, would. tell stories that
would raise the hair of decent citizens
of Chicago on end.'
POLICE HUNT IN
VAIN FOR FISHER
Holy Roller With Hypnotic Eye
Successfully Eludes Efforts
to Arrest Him
Despite all efforts; of the police yes
terday no trace could be found of E.
G. Fisher, the Holy^ Roller, who was
accused by Miss Bertha Thomson, 34
Pope street, of having hypnotized and
Imprisoned her. \u25a0
More complex grew the man's char
acteristics on the police investigating
his case. ' It was discovered that he
frequented the cheapest lodging houses
in the city, but dressed in the flashiest
of style. On leaving the lodging'houses
he would appear , as an aged ; farmer.
On other- occasions he would make up
as a young man with. black mustache
and hair. '. What is _ perplexing the po
lice is the reason for the man's many
disguises.
No crime could .be traced to; his door,
and- even :• the statements of -~ Miss
Thomson were that, though she • was
kept a! prisoner by him, Plsher made
no attempt to use violence i toward her.
The girl was once; again examined
by the police yesterday; but her story
did not differ, in any bearing, whatever
from the one she originally : told the
police. .The Oakland police kept a care
ful watch of the : residence at Fifth
and Washington streets,' where Fisher
was supposed to. have imprisoned Miss
Thomson, but hef did : not % put . in an
appearance. The general opinion of the
police is that the man, scenting. trouble,
has fled. Who or what he "was the';po
lice could not find outf The only knowl
edge they had was from Miss Thomson
and those - who • saw him ' at the meet
ings of the Holy Rollers.
To add to > the, difficulty of? the police
locating, the man. Miss Thomson could
not definitely state in, which house she
was imprisoned. Wll she: knew was that
it ;, wasHn the I vicinity =of ?Fif th : ; arid
Washington streets, but more than ; this
she was unable; to recollect.

styled an imposter and jailed for de
frauding^an automobile owner and for
his Incapacity .to pay a bill for two
weeks* .living' at the St." Francis?
Nobody/has heard> of Carrington: for
the last ' six "weeks. 'His; baggage 1 , is
still being held at : the' St. Francis. It
is known,. that, he had no money and
that : he was without ; friends in ' this
part of the country.
, V The peculiar conditions -surrounding
his ..disappearance,"; so ' complete and
mystifying,' have' brought 'his case once
more to the.' attention: of the" police
and: the hotel management,, and "the
question 'is 'asked, ;Has he .come to an
unfortunate ending -or ,lia3 he been
spirited -away- by those -whom, because
of their : relations with" him, the pseudo
"lord": might bring; into the toils of
the law.' .-=.
Carrington was a captain in the Brit
ish "navy. - He ~ came to .V ancouver on
furlough -, with $5,000 to his -credit.. In.
Vancouver -he met a man , named' H.
Roseweene, who had entry! to a number
of ' clubs and who entertained him. >. A
mining deal .was ' opened up to Carrlng
ton's eyes' by\R6seweene, ; in : which it
was naively, stated -flat a- great fortune
was to' be triad e. t ' .He persuaded Car
rington'to advahcofl. Boo, money which
he was to tise .on^a; trip to ' England,
where the stock would-be floated and
capital obtained.-; ' >
Before leaving;" for ' England Rose
weene introduced Carrington to. -his
wife. Later N , Carrington, ' ' Roseweene
and'the latter's wife were involved in
an altercation at the Uition hotel in fhis
city. As a result of this incident it Is
declared Carrington, was , put to^ heavy
expenses | and ,was -unable .to, meet his
obligaatons some tme later at the St.

. Mr. Walter Janvier, "365-367 Canal
Street.' New York, City, « New York —
DeariSlr: I-want the .Fulton people to
know -a staunch friend they have in
Mr. William Wilson Jr.. the druggist
at Amsterdam, New York.
. Rarely has' it .been my privilege to
talk , with a . more : enthusiastic frjend,
and ', his " Interest' is all the more re
freshing because actuated by a human
itarian and not . a monetary ' motive.
Whenever; a I serious case of kiduoy
disorder, is brought, to his notice, not
only .does he recommend the Renal
Compound, but, if the party is in poor
circumstances, he provides them free
of charge. V \u25a0
The satisfaction of saving a, human
life. means more .to him than the accu
mulation, of. dollars and cents, antl
there are/men and* women in Amster
dam today whose lives be has saved
ju3t as truly as though he had rescued
them from drowning, for they had
been given up to die when he heard of
their condition ond provided the Com
pounds which restored them. Very
truly yours, KENYON A. PALMER.
Our work seems to attract the kind
hearted druggists of the country, for
It Is not unusual for us to hear that
druggists, upon being convinced of the
genuineness of this .. treatment, have
given it away to patients who could
-Hot afford to* buy. it. For Instance, Mr.
Grant "W. Brock, our Meadvllle. Pa.,
agent, had. a poor woman afflicted 'with
kidney disease struggle Into his store.
She had given up and the physicians
had pronounced the case hopeless.
Brock. told her of Fulton's Renal Com
pound. She said . she didn't have the
money to buy lt v He thereupon gave it
to her. You can imagine Brock's grat
ification at the fine recovery that fol
lowed.
And . may be . you think that woman
didn't do some loud talking — our books
show that Brock has sold several grosa
of our Renal Compound. '
