HOOD RIVER APPLE GROWERS UNION
WOMAN'S LEAGUE LEWIS
SHOWN UP BY R-N-Y
Several copies of the liunil New
Yorker have heen brought to the
Glacier by John Koberf?, which give
considerable information about the
methods of E. G. Lewia, promoter of
the American Woman's League. The
issue of May 11, contains the follow
ing editorial :
"Let those who wonder why so many
people are caught in bunko games
read that Idler or circular from E.
G. Lewis which is printed on page
567. The parties to whom it was
sent held Lewis' notes, which they
thought were as good as the (rash they
had sent him. lie had for some years
been putting up the most affectionate
bluff about his great devotion to their
interests, but in spite of all this these
people needed their money. Now
comes this letter, and probably eight
people out of ten on reading it over
would say it is a direct offer to send
the cash at once. Hut if you will study
it carefully you will notice that in no
way does it argee to pay any cash at
all. You have the privilege of saying
whether you want cash or stock, but
you have nothing else in sight. After
you gave up the not. you n lcase Mr.
Lewis from his personal obligation to
send you any cash. The object of
this letter evidently is to secure the
personal notes and give in their place
other forms of paper or stock which
are not bankable lor collection. Thus
you notice that when these notes are
sent, for collection through reputable
banks, Where the cash must be paid
before the note is surrendered, they
are refused ! We have recently been
told that lb.' average woman has no
Hence ol humor. Wr doubt if there is
a member of the Woman's League who
cannot see the joker In this letter."
The other article referred, to in the
New York farm paier is headed
"LOOM Methods of Lewis" and re
produces a note and some letters which
passed between Lewis and a Mr.
White to whom the note had been
given. Lewis offered in his letter to
let White take stock in the former's
trust company in payment of the
note at the rate of a share al
though Lewis insisted that the stock
was worth $200. The Rural New
Yorker comments further:
"Mr. White refused to step into this
trap, as many other victims did; but
sent the note for collection through
his bank. It was presented for pay
ment by tho Mechanics- American
National Hank, of St. Louis, and pay
ment refused by Lewis. Of course,
anyone can see that the offer to pay
the note in cash was a safe I. lull',
the object was to induce (be holder to
change it , for stock in the trust com
pany and then Lewis would not be
under persona! obliagtlon to pay it in
cash. The trust company stock might
just as well be advanced to WOO or $f00
or $700 as to $1G0 or $200. Mr. Lewis
made the price, but the value of the
stock is quite a different mailer. The
promise to pay the note in cash was
a safe bluff, because those who re
sisted the temptation of trust com
pany stock, and sent on the notes ex
peeling to get the cash, simply got a so
called "interim receipt." and no ex
planation for failure to send the cash,
while the note had pealed out of their
hands. By this trick, Lewis got
personal possession id' these notes, and
in place of them his victims received
nothing but these interim receipts for
stock in the trust company, which he
says he was organizing. The North
Tarrytown, N. Y. women refused to
give up the notes, and by simply pub
lishing the facts compelled Lewis to
pay them. In doing so, he made the
silly lying excuse that he offered to
pay them a year before, but that Mr.
Johnson, the postmaster, demanded a
fee for collecting them. This silly
lie was refuted when we showed the
records of the banks which attempted
to collect the notes after Lewis alleged
that he wanted to pay them. We would
like to know what excuse he has now
for not paying this note to Mr. White.
"At one time Lewis was making
much of the fact that the Chase
National Hank, of New York City,
was his correspondent for his trust but
we understand Lewis was requested to
withdraw a small account the carried
there, and we hear no more about this
bank correspondent.
"In addition to this note for $500 and
interest, we have other claims against
Lewis, mostly in "interim receipts,"
which were set in exchange for the
five per cent notes by the trickery ex
plained above, amouting to $10,000.
These run in claims of children, ser
vant girls, old women, decrepit men,
and feeble old soldiers, in amounts
from $3 up to $3000. No sum was too
large or too small for Lewis's greed ;
no condition of poverty or need was
sacred from his avarice. He would
take money from the child, the widow
and the infirm of old age with as little
compunction or conscience as one
would pick a berry from a roadside
bush, rha confidence of his adult
victimH made his operations as easy
as taking pennies from babies; and
some of the victims were virtually
babies. We repeat that we do not
know a :.ingle prominent and success
ful publication that is not identified
with Lewis's Amercian Women's
League scheme; but two or three of
the list affect respectibilitv. and have
defended Lewis in the past. We
Would be interested to know what
excuse they make for Lewis's failure
to pay these obligations. Some of the
really responsible and usually reliable
papers like Collier's, Everybody 's
Magazine, Farm Journal and - Deline
ator ran the advertising of the League
scheme last year; but Hoon discovered
the error, and withdrew from the
enterprise; but the advertising gave
Lewis certificate of rensectibilitv. as
lie expected it would, and the League
schema got some prominence in con
sequence. The mass of the rcadere
of these publications have no means
of knowing that the publisher have
now repudiated Lewis, and it seems to
us that these publishers owe it' to
their readers to tell them the facts.
Thus far Collier's Weekly is the only
one to refer to the subject editorially,
and its public repudiation of Lewis was
not all that one might expect under
the circumstances. What ii needed
is an aroused public sentiment against
this form of trickery. It is a big task
for one paper to undertake alone ; but
if readers of the R.N-Y., would in
terest themselves to the extent of
spreading the facts in every section
where Leagues are being organized,
Lewis would soon lind it to his interest
to send back the money he induced
these poor people to send him by his
"green goods" methods."

Many Women
who are
Splendid Cooks
dread having to prepare an elab
orate dinner because they are
not sufficiently strong to stand
over an intensely hot coal
range. This is especially true
in summer. Every woman
takes pride in the table she sets,
but often it is done at tremen
dous cost to her own vitality
through the weakening effect of
cooking on a coal range in a
hot kitchen.
It ia no longer necessary to wear
yourself out preparing a fine dinner.
Even in the heat ot aummer you can
cook a large dinner without being
worn out.

without heating the kitchen or the cook. It ia immediately lighted and Immedi
