FEDERAL OFFICER8 INVADED BURR BROTHERS' OFFICES IN NfcW YORK CITY. NATION-WIDE FRAUD CHARGE Post Office Officials Claim Concern Have Defrauded Investors Out of Forty to Fifty Millions In Saie of Stocks. | New York.--Federal officials Monday I raided the quarters of Burr Bros., a 1 corporation dealing in stocks and I other securities, with offices in Chi­ cago and other cities. I The raid was made on warrants j charging use of the mails to defraud I investors. Post office officials said j j the concern had sold to investors at | ! par value between $40,000,000 and • $50,000,000 of stock in various com- j panies, most of which had gone out cf ! existence or become bankrupt. Officers of the corporation were ar- | rested and its books and papers seized. j The raid was planned by Post Oflfica j Inspector Warren W. Dickson. Post- t ) master General Frank H. Hitchcock ! and Robert S. Sharpe, chief post office I inspector, who. came from Washings I ton to see that it was carried out sue ! cessfully. | The officers arrested were Sheldon i , C. Burr, president; Frank H. Tobey, I i vice-president, and Eugene H. Burr, ! secretary and treasurer. ! The three officials were arraigned | before Commissioner Shields and held | in $20,000 bail each. Pending the furnishing of bail the officials of the company were placed in the prisoners' J pen. | Arrests are expected to be made in J Cleveland, Chicago, Los Angeles and J San Francisco, where the corporation has extensive offices. I Post office officials had been work­ ing on the case for months. Hun­ dreds of complaints had been made against the corporation by investors who charged they had been swindled through false representations con­ cerning the profits being realized by those who put money into the vari­ ous oil, timber, copper, lead, zinc and gold ventures. After the raid Postmaster General Hitchcock gave out an official memo- rafautnn ^concerningTHE BUTT Bros., which was organized several years ago, and in 1907 was incorporated with a capital of $100,000, later in­ creased to $300,000. The memoran­ dum says that' among other companies the Burr brothers were selling the stock of the Buick Oil company, a concern with $5,000,000 capital. :• 3 IM!

RENEW RIOTING AT PUEBLA One of Yale's professors is afraid America is soon to become a mon­ archy. He probably has nothing else at this time to be afraid of. A trick horse that h&d been stolen shook hands with the rightful owner, to the undoing of the thief. We defy a trick automobile to do that. The pruue supply at a New York hospital was short and boarding house guests will be surprised to hear there is quite a fuss about it. The police have discovered a man leaning against a corner building who had been dead three hours. "All things come to him who waits." As to the consequences, there does not seem to be much to choose be­ tween a woman automobilist turning thief and her machine turning turtle. People hooted at a woman in Colum­ bus, Ga., because she wore a hobble skirt In tbe streets. Can It be possible that the age of southern chivalry is past? Six billion cigarettes were consumed In the United States last year; yet there are in this country a good many young men whose fingers are not stained. In Cranford, N. J., a thief stole a $100 gold watch from the pocket of a police sergeant while that official dozed in the police station. What that policeman needs is a chaperon. The life of the city boy Is indeed hard. No more Fourth of July, no more Hallowe'en and an increase in the number of vacation schools is only matched by a condemnation of moving picture shows. Aviation Is becoming extremely profitable--If not for the country, cer­ tainly for the aviators. But the cash inducements to risk life and limb cause the science of airship building to get a move on. Reported 30 Are Killed--United States Troops Sent to Border to Pro­ tect Americans. Laredo, Tex.--Reports reaching this city from what is considered to be a reliable source are to the effect that rioting was renewed in Puebla, Mex., Monday and that 30 persons were killed in the fighting. It is said on the streets here that the Mexican military authorities are conscripting large numbers of the residents of Nuevo Laredo Into the army for emergency service. United States troops have been sent to the border to be stationed at many points to protect Americans. Washington.--Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Hoyt, commander of the department of Texas, has been Instructed by the war department to hold troops In readiness to meet any call made by the governor of Texas to preserve neutrality on the part of the United States in connection with the revolt in Mexico. Belated telegrams reaching the state department from its officials in Mexico mention various revolutionary disturbances at different points in that country, but all agree in one re­ spect, and that is that the Diaz gov­ ernment is strong enough to repress the revolutionists. A report from Marathon, Tex., states that revolutionists are gathering in Chihuahua State, south of Marafa, and are preparing to attack Chihuahua City. The regions thereabouts are sparsely settled. A report from El Paso, Tex , says that 100 persons had been killed in riots which took place at Zacatecas in the interior of Mexico, opposite Tampico. It Is Wper,tcd that riots have taken place at Alnieze, seventy miles south In Mexico, and several killed there. Eagle Pass, Tex - "General Bernar­ do Reyes is coming." This is the whisper which has gone with telegraphic swiftness up and down the Rio Grande. If it Is true, as many Mexicans assert, it means that the revolutionists have at their head a man superior in military train­ ing to any other man in .Mexico, not even excepting President Diaz him­ self. Astopova.--Surrounded by his wife, children. Doctor MakOvetsky and the other attending physicians Count Leo Tolstoi passed away peacefully at 6:30 Sunday morning in the lonesome little railway station of the town. Efforts of the church to gather the famous reformer into its folds ef­ fected nothing, as neither side yielded. It was recognized long before he passed away that his case was hope­ less, Several of the physicians were greatly overcome by the approaching death of Russia's great writer. His heart beat its last apparently without a clear moment to enable him to say farewell or cast a forgiv­ ing look upon his wife and children. Tolstoi, accompanied only by Doctor Makovetsky, left his home at Yasnaya Poliana for the purpose of ending his days In solitude, to which he more and more inclined during his later years. His pilgrimage led him to the monastery at Shamardine, in the province of Kaluga, where he re­ mained as the guest of his sister, Marie, who Is a nun in the cloister. Learning that his retreat had beon discovered, he insisted upon proceed­ ing on his journey to the Caucasus, where he hoped to spend his last days close to the Tolstoian colony on the shores of the Black Sea. But during the railroad Journey he was overcome with exhaustion and the cold, and Doctor Makovetsky was compelled to have him transferred to the flag station at Astapova, where he was made as comfortable aa pos­ sible In the rude wooden building. For five days he had lain there suf fering first from bronchitis and later from inflammation of the lungs. Spe­ cialists were called from Moscow and other places, but notwithstanding their utmost efforts, the heart of the great Russian responded but feebly to the restoratives and stimulants.

WOOLEN DUTY LEAK IMMENSE IT IS ASSERTED FRAUDS WILL EXCEED $10,000,000. Government Attorneys Declare Losses Are Far Greater Than Those In Sugar Swindle. New York. -- Assistant United States Attorney Whitney declares that the woolen duties frauds against which Collector William Loeb, Jr., has ireg,uu a campaign wiii pfove the most stupendous swindle- yet disclosed at this port since the government be­ gan its investigation into customs leaks. It Is said that the losses in duties claimed by the government will amount to upward of $10,000,000. In the sugar cases, which previous­ ly held first place In the amount of money Involved, the full extent of the frauds was never ascertained, but the government obtained restitution of more than $2,000,000 from the import­ ers. The government seeks to recover all the money claimed to be lost In the last five years by alleged false In­ voices for importations made by Jo­ seph Brooks & Co., manufacturers of woolens, worsteds and linings, of Bradford, England, and this city. As­ sistant Attorney Whitney said: "This is the biggest case of the kind the government has ever had. The frauds involve spveral woolen manufacturing firms in England. The total amount of the duties which the government has lost through these im­ portation frauds is much greater than in the sugar underweighiug cases."

While coming from Tor bay the American warships passed the second division of the British home fleet, which was passing out. Salutes were exchanged. The visiting vessels also made the customary salutes when they entered Portland harbor. Vice-Admiral Sir William Henry May, commander of the home fleet, entertained the American admiral and captains on his flagship, the Dreadnought, Wednesday evening. The mayor and the corporation will give a banquet to the American offi­ cers, while a fancy ball and other en­ tertainments for the American and British bluejackets have been ar­ ranged. The men of the visiting fleet will have all the privileges of the naval canteen at Portland and of the sailors' home in Weymouth harbor. This is a courtesy never before granted to men of foreign ships. The naval recrea­ tion grounds have been placed at the disposal of the Americans and rowing and sailing matches between crews of American and British seamen have been planned.
