July 29. 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
On a charge of having swindled A. H. 
Stolzenbach, with an office at 1110 House 
Building, Pittsburgh, Pa., out of $2,000 in 
a coal deal, T. M. Latimer, John Phillips 
and Henry Bitter were arrested in Mew York 
City this afternoon.—Daily Paper. 
Information about the above is in¬ 
definite, but seems to relate to a con¬ 
cern known as the Pittsburg Coal & 
Land Company, which was trying to ac¬ 
quire coal lands in Virginia. It is said 
that Latimer was preparing to sell 
bonds. 
Herbert Myrick, president of the 
Phelps Publishing Company, and of the 
Orange Judd Company and editor of 
the papers published by these companies, 
was indicted July 18, by the Federal 
Grand Jury in Boston on charges 
growing out of an application for entry 
at second-class postal rates of the 
Orange Judd Northwest Homestead 
some months back. James W. Cunning¬ 
ham, subscription manager for • the 
paper, was indicted with Myrick. It is 
alleged that false statements were made 
to the department in the application for 
entry, and it is believed that the indict¬ 
ments are based on these allegations of 
false statements. 
I have received from Adams Express 
Company full amount of claim ($12.56 net) 
for case of eggs shipped A. F. Beckmann 
last Winter, which were not delivered. They 
first offered me $7.71. I then asked you to 
look it up for me. They later offered me 
$10.50, which you refused to accept on my 
account. Now they have paid me in full. 
Eggs were worth 46 cents a dozen at the 
time. I thank you very much for your help 
in getting it. s. T. s. 
New York. 
The express company objected to pay¬ 
ing the highest market price for these 
eggs, but we were finally able to con¬ 
vince them that the subscriber was ship¬ 
ping fancy white eggs that were worth 
the 46 cents a dozen and the adjustment 
was at last made on that basis. 
I am sending you a bill which I have 
been unable to collect against L. C. Allyn, 
of Rochester, N. Y'., who is a specialist in 
forestry, or as we call him around here, a 
“tree doctor." He claims quite a reputation 
in his line all over the State, and came to 
our town very highly recommended, but he 
owes me $52 for photographs and negatives 
of trees taken on his orders during process 
of treatment. The work was all delivered 
and pronounced satisfactory and he has 
made several promises to pay, but failed to 
do so. Ilis patrons in the town were well- 
to-do people who paid big prices for his 
work, and he had no reason for leaving 
without paying me for my work. J. s. w. 
New York. 
We were unable to get any response 
and finally placed the account for col¬ 
lection. The attorneys returned the 
claim as uncollectable. 
Will you please advise me regarding the 
'Library Shelf Stock Company? Two years 
ago I invested $100 for 10 shares at $10 
per share. They guaranteed a 10 per emit 
dividend which they have paid twice, but it 
is six months over dividend date now. I 
have written twice to the manager, Miss 
Louise Radford Wells, in regard to divi¬ 
dend, and also requested her to sell my 
stock if possible, or buy it herself. M. 11. 
L Wing is secretary, i nave heard nothing 
from them. Miss Wells was editor of the 
New Thought Magazine, which she sold out 
to William Walter Atkinson or S. A. Vult- 
mer, 1 forget which. The paper, however, 
lias dwindled down to a little four-page, 
poorly printed paper, published at Nevada, 
Mo., and called "Popular Therapeutics." 
New York. mus. a. n. 
This company has no given capital 
and only a fair credit rating. Wiltmer 
advertises some kind of a drink or to¬ 
bacco cure, uses whole pages of the 
cheap papers to advertise it. It is an¬ 
other case of the public being fleeced 
with stock of a publishing company. It 
is not at all likely that the dividends 
ever were earned, but paid out of the 
original investment in the hope of in¬ 
ducing further investment by yourself 
or others. 
Julius Kahn, the promoter of the old 
Cash Buyers’ Union, which absorbed 
about $4,000,000 from country investors, 
has again brought disappointment and 
loss to his followers. In the Cash Buy¬ 
ers’ Union scheme each purchaser of 
stock became a member and was prom¬ 
ised goods of any description at a dis¬ 
count. He was also to have a commis¬ 
sion on sales made to others. After 
collecting about $4,000,000 the concern 
failed, and the money disappeared. No 
sincere attempt had been made to estab¬ 
lish a business. The sale of the privil¬ 
eges or membership was the extent of 
the business, though some merchandise 
had been purchased. Kahn was tried 
on*a charge of fraud, but on the trial 
the court held that while the money 
was gone, Kahn might have been only 
a dreamer, and the evidence did not 
show what had become of the money. 
Kahn was discharged. Afterwards he 
got possession of the list of old dupes, 
and proposed to organize a new com¬ 
pany under the style of National Co¬ 
operative Society. If the old stockhold¬ 
ers would put up new cash for certaiq 
proportions of the new stock, then Kahn 
would give them other stock in the new 
company to the amount of their hold¬ 
ings in the Cash Buyers’ Union. It 
was the old promoter trick to get 
money by pretending to give something 
for nothing. The old stock was abso¬ 
lutely worthless. The ne\. stock was 
equally so. The trick was to get the 
new money. It didn’t matter how much 
paper stock was issued for it. Many 
of the old victims asked us if it would 
be wise to go in again to recover what 
was lost. We repeatedly said “no.” It 
required no great wisdom to see that 
the new scheme was as much of a fraud 
as the old one. Kahn is now gone; but 
he will no doubt turn up again. It was 
since his experience with the criminal 
courts that E. G. Lewis became so per¬ 
sistant in calling himself a dreamer. To 
devise a scheme to defraud is criminal; 
to get your money on promises and 
squander it in a dream is philanthropy! 
The distinction is important—to the 
promoter. One means the penitentiary; 
the other helps promote a new scheme. 
I sent to N. F. Boyer & Co. on April 19, 
1911. $10. for which they were to ship me 
an English hull pup. They acknowledged 
the letter and receipt of the money order 
all light, so I waited, as I thought, a rea¬ 
sonable length of time and wrote them in 
regard to this, and they said they had not 
shipped the dog yet but would do so at an 
early date. I waited again what I con¬ 
sidered a reasonable length of time, and 
have written three times, hut have been 
unable to get any reply. They will not 
answer my letters or give me any informa¬ 
tion in regard to same. What do you know 
about this party in regard to their standing 
and reliability? It does seem to me they 
should either have made the shipment or 
returned the money, which I had asked them 
to do. w. B. R. 
West Virginia. 
Our letters in behalf of this subscriber 
met with the same silence as his own. 
We have repeatedly refused the adver¬ 
tising of this concern, and subscribers 
have been warned against sending 
money in advance. Our last report was 
that Mr. Boyer had died, but evidently 
the present manager is conducting the 
business on the same basis. Cases of 
this kind should be reported to the Post¬ 
master-General, Washington, D. C. 
I enclose a bill against F. T. Tlornbock & 
Co.. Amsterdam, N. Y., for $5.20, dated 
.Tunc 11, 1910. for two crates of straw¬ 
berries. which have never been settled for. 
His agent induced me to send the two crates 
for a trial, saying I could get a good price 
in Amsterdam. The result was Ilornbeck 
made returns for 56 quarts, claiming the 
shipment was eight quarts short. He en¬ 
closed his check for $5.20, but neglected to 
sign it. I took the stand he was careless 
and sent it to my bank with others for 
collection. In due' time the bank returned 
the check to me, saying they could not col¬ 
lect. I urged them to make every effort, 
but without success. I wrote Mr. Ilorn¬ 
beck. enclosing the check, requesting him to 
sign and return it. Since then he has never 
replied, although both his agent and I have 
written him several times. I was getting 
more in New York than Ilornbeck gave on 
the same dav, and this is the first and last 
complaint I 'have ever had of shortage. His 
agent still says the man is honest, but I 
can think as I choose. a. e. b. 
New York. 
We have made every possible effort 
to induce Messrs. Hornbeck & Co. to 
honor this little check; but in vain. 
This is a sample of the usage shippers 
receive from irresponsible commission 
men; yet the commission interests are 
strong enough to prevent any legislation 
that would afford shippers relief. 
I want to relate a little circumstance I 
had in buying a horse in a Newark sale 
stable run by a man named John McCul¬ 
lough. 69 Central Avenue. I called there 
and bought a horse which was in good con¬ 
dition when I paid for him. The horse was 
to be delivered to me in good condition, and 
they were to send a man to my place with 
him the same day I bought him. or the fol¬ 
lowing day. I went home and waited three 
days. • and as the horse did not show up 
and I had not heard a word from them, my 
brother-in-law and I called to ascertain 
what the trouble was. When we got there 
they showed us the horse in a stall lying 
down. They stated they had sent a boy 
with him to our place, but on the way the 
horse was injured so he could not walk back 
to the stable, and they had to get an ambu¬ 
lance to get him home. He had my money 
and wanted me to take another horse, but 
all the other horses in the stable were crip¬ 
ples. and 1 would not take one, but asked 
for my money. They would only give me 
$50 back, and I had paid them $70. They 
used very abusive language because I want¬ 
ed back the money paid them, which I felt 
was rightly due me. D. c. 
New Jersey. 
Horse dealers, as we have stated be¬ 
fore, are hard customers. They are en¬ 
tirely indifferent to any action brought 
against them or criticism in the press. 
We were not able to bring any pressure 
to bear on him to refund the balance. 
The man who gets $50 of value for a 
$70 investment is lucky. It is more than 
the average when you get away with the 
horse. j. j. d.
