BROKER PERSCH IN COURT
Man Accused of Grand Larceny Seeks
Reduction of Bail, but the District
Attorney Opposes the Motion Until
the Prisoner Reveals the Facts Con
cerning the Deal in Which Ha Was
Used as a Cat's Paw.
New York, Aug. 18.—In opposing a
plan for a reduction of the $50,000
bail under which Donald L. Persch, a
note broker, is being held on a grand
larceny indictment District Attorney
Jerome declared his belief that th"
wrongful sale of Heinze mining stock
rollateral, in which Persch is alleged
to have figured, was but one of the
ramifications of a conspiracy in which
men in high finance" had "combined
to crush a rival."
Persch was arraigned to plead to
the indictment, which charges him
with having procured from the Wind
sor Trust company and sold about
$100,000 worth of mining stock which

acted for F. Augustus Heinze, had de
posited as collateral for a loan nego
tiated through the trust company. In
arguing for a reduction bail John
F. Mclntyre, Perseh's attorney, de
clared that Persch had been "a cat's
paw in the hands of wiser and more
experienced men."
Perseh's attorney was unable to get
the court to consent to the reduction
of bail. Mr. Jerome said that if be
fore Monday Persch should decide to
tell the district attorney's office the
entire facts concerning the transac

Gentlemen:—
I have lived her£ jn the same farm four years
and expect to stay here as long as 1 am a tiller of
the soil. I started very cautiously, buying only
160 acres, but as my faith in the country and my
money increased 1 bought more land, till now I
have 960 acres, and the end is not yet. 1 bought
160 acres at $17.SO per acre. Broke 120 acres
and seeded to flax, which made 2,400 bushels and
sold the flax at $1.23 per bushel. Thus the first
crop on 120 acres paying for the 160 acres and
leaving a balance of $150.00. Even better than
this has been done repeatedly. My crops have
averaged about $18.00 per acre for the four
years (each year).
1 lived in Iowa 38 years and have made twice
as much money here in four years as 1 did in
Iowa during that time.

AMERICAN BANKERS
WILL MMMT
Dispute
Over Chinese
Loan

Peking, Aug. 18.—American parti 1
pation in the Hankow-Szechuen rail
road loan was definitely settled at tin
offices of the foreign board by Hem y
P. Fletcher, the American chai.
d'affaires, and Llan
Tun Tea,
prt^i
dent of the board.
The loan is to be increased fro'n
$27,500,000 to $30,000,000 and of this
latter amount American bankers arc
to get one-quarter, the other thn
quarters going to British, French ami
German Interests.
Americans are to have equal oppor
tunity to supply material for both the
Szechuen and the Canton lines and
their branches. They will appoint
subordinate engineers and they will
have also one half of all future loans
of the Szechuen railroad and its
branches, with the corresponding ad
vantages.
The settlement reached prevents
actual American investment In the
abandoned Hankow-Canton line, but.
nevertheless, it is the opinion here
that American capital has been placed
on an equality with other capital in
China.
