THE RUKAE NEW-YORKEB 
August 20, 
PUBLISHER’S DESK 
J. Campbell Thompson, the attorney for 
Fiss, Doerr & Carroll, secured my money 
that was paid to the Cable Express Com¬ 
pany for a horse which they failed to de¬ 
liver. I want to thank you for the efficient 
service rendered in connection with this 
case. SUBSCRIBER. 
New York. 
The thanks are really due Fiss, 
Doerr & Carroll and their attorney, Mr. 
Thompson. The history of the case may 
interest other readers, because many 
have been caught by the tricks of these 
“gyp” horse dealers. This subscriber 
saw the advertisement of the Cable Ex¬ 
press Company, 154 East 27th street, 
New York, in the Utica Press, repre¬ 
senting that the firm was going out of 
the express business and desired to dis¬ 
pose of their horses, which were suit¬ 
able for farmers, milkmen, etc. As a 
matter of fact there is no such express 
company; there never was, but this is 
the style of name assumed by one M. G. 
Sullivan, who, we understand, directed 
the affairs of the concern for the pur¬ 
pose of deception and entrapping coun¬ 
try people who are not familiar with 
the methods of the New York City 
horse sharper. This subscriber selected 
a horse and agreed upon the price. He 
was offered the horse on the terms that 
he could pay $25 down and the balance 
after 30 days’ trial. The horse was not 
shipped, and the offer of 30 days’ trial 
was, of course, only a trap to get the 
$25 deposit. We made repeated de¬ 
mands on M. G. Sullivan and the com¬ 
pany for the return of the remittance, 
without effect. The Fiss, Doerr & Car- 
roll Horse Company deserve all credit 
for employing an attorney at their own 
expense to get redress for those who 
have been swindled in this way. We 
bespeak for the firm the confidence of 
country people as a* result of this work, 
but the publications that carry this class 
of advertising and share in the spoils 
merit the severest censure of all honest 
horse dealers as well as horse buyers. 
Not long ago we told of a soap 
swindler who got money from country 
people. He offered 200 bars of toilet 
soap for $10.50 and threw in as prem¬ 
ium 40 yards of Brussels carpet. His 
scheme was to get the money, deliver 
two dozen small cakes, and then get 
away. The carpet went down in the 
halls of imagination and nowhere else. 
This man, calling himself Robert Ed¬ 
ward Smith Wood, worked the line be¬ 
tween New Jersey and New York re¬ 
cently. He swindled many farmers’ 
wives at Montague, N. J., and then 
struck Port Jervis, N. Y. He was 
arrested, pleaded guilty and paid back 
the money to the New York women. 
Then, the report states: 
Returning to the Hotel Mitchell yester¬ 
day lie found Mrs. Lena Stahl, who has a 
truck farm in Montague, and another 
woman. Finding they could not cause his 
arrest in this State because lie had swin¬ 
dled them in New Jersey, Airs. Stahl asked 
him for what she had paid him. When he 
refused she struck him several blows in the 
face with her fist. As he retreated up¬ 
stairs she hit him on the back, while the 
hotel guests applauded. He escaped to bis 
room and later to. Pennsylvania. 
Good for Mrs. Stahl. The arm of the 
law could not reach this rascal, but we 
are glad the woman’s arm was strong 
enough. Let some other farmer’s wife 
use the mop handle on him when he 
comes with his soap and carpets. 
An involuntary petition in bankruptcy 
was filed against Dinuovo Bros, by the fol¬ 
lowing creditors: Rothsburger & Co., 
$1,372; O. Roth & Co.. $257; Reynolds 
Bros., $417. Judge Feeder has appointed 
Clifford G. Ludvigh as receiver, under a 
bond of $1,000. The liabilities of the con¬ 
cern are placed at $15,000. with assets of 
$2,000. The business was run by James and 
Antonio Dinuovo. and up to a few we>‘ks 
ago was located on Christopher street. The 
address is now given at 210 Elizabeth 
street. The firm has been in business for 
several years and operated creameries in 
New York State and Pennsylvania.—Daily 
Paper. 
We cautioned our readers against ex¬ 
tending credit to this concern more than 
a year ago. In spite of this fact a good 
many farmers will be found among the 
list of creditors. From the above state¬ 
ment of the assets and liabilities, credi¬ 
tors can hope to realize little after the 
expense of bankruptcy proceedings are 
met. 
On June 30, 1910, I shipped 10 crates of 
strawberries to E. M. Shell. Ft. Wayne, 
lud.; I have written him several times, and 
can g't no answer. Tlease see what you can 
do for me. f. e. w. 
Michigan. 
We were no more successful in get¬ 
ting a response from Mr. Shell than 
the inquirer, but our investigation re¬ 
vealed the fact that Shell is spending 
a year in the Federal Penitentiary at 
Leavenworth, Kans., for swindling other 
shippers in the same way. He is de¬ 
scribed as the best specimen of a crook 
that Indiana has ever turned out. There 
are plenty of reliable houses in the com¬ 
mission business, and it is the height 
of folly for shippers to send goods to 
houses or parties unknown to them 
without first looking up their standing 
and responsibility. 
I am sending you a descriptive sheet of 
Broadacres Realty Co., Lincoln Park, N. J. 
We have bought four house lots, and since 
buying have been told it is a scheme. We 
paid quite a little down ; the laud is very 
near Lincoln Park Station. They give a 
contract which we sign, one we return, one 
we keep. We get a warranty deed when we 
pay all; no interest first year, and we ex¬ 
pect to pay in a few months and expect to 
build soon. Do you know anything wrong 
about it? M. 
New Jersey. 
Another subscriber gives us the fol¬ 
lowing information regarding this prop¬ 
erty, which indicates that it is about the 
last place "anyone knowing the condi¬ 
tions would select to build a home: 
If you refer to Lincoln Park, Morris Co., 
N. .T., there is a real estate boom going on 
there. I know the location as well as I 
know my own name; have been over it 
many times. I am about two miles from it. 
It is' the farm of J. N. Dehart, bought last 
year for a large sum of money, and they 
are developing it; that is, grading, setting 
out trees, cutting streets through and sell¬ 
ing city lots. The locality is all good soil, 
is finest in State for garden truck, but 
every time the Pequannock River rises over 
its banks it goes under water, and only one 
little high spot is out, and that is where 
the farm buildings are located. This land 
is on the banks of the river and extends 
west from it. bounded on the south by D., 
L. & W. It. R., Boonton Branch. This may 
save some one from putting hard-earned 
money in it. ‘ subscriber. 
Passaic Co., N. J. 
Charles E. Dean was arrested yesterday 
on a charge of having used the mails to 
promote a lottery scheme. The post office 
inspector said Dean was a representative of 
El Protecto, an industrial enterprise of Ha¬ 
vana, Cuba, which, besides being interest! d 
in loans and insurance, had started a lot¬ 
tery as an adjunct to its business. Com¬ 
missioner Shields, before whom he was ar¬ 
raigned, fixed his bail at $1,000.—News Dis¬ 
patch. 
The charge in this case was that Dean 
circulated printed matter concerning the 
lottery through the mails. 
In 1907 I took up a correspondence 
course with the Success Shorthand School 
of ‘ Chicago, Ill., and because I enlisted 
within a certain time and remitted $10 I 
would be taught to be an “expert” steno¬ 
grapher for $23, with the understanding 
that if I were not satisfied after 12 lessons 
(half the course) they would refund- me 
the money. I paid them $20 and took eight 
lessons, but was not satisfied and asked 
then! to return the money, deducting a rea¬ 
sonable fee’ for their trouble. I did not get 
satisfaction, and in 1908 asked you to take 
this matter up with them. All the satis¬ 
faction I got was that they considered I 
did not come up to my • agreement. They 
did not want to come up to theirs so I 
reconciled myself with a lesson in experi¬ 
ence which cost me $20 and destroyed all 
the correspondence. Now they have the 
nerve to ask me to pay $10. After such 
an experience I do not cafe to go any 
farther. I certainly will not take any more 
tuition from them at the rate of $j a les¬ 
son, and as it is have paid them $20 for 
eight lessons, and I believe I do not owe 
them anything more. c. k.
