Stoty of the Grand Hotel Dispute Becomes Public Property CAUSE OF CHIEF CARY'S MICHIGAN TRIP, He Went to Bring Back a Furniture Man, but Couldn't Get Him—A Smooth Sch That Failed, me Chlef of Police Cary returned yesterday morning from Lansing, Mich., where he has been for over o weck past. ‘The object of his trip was not known to the public until his re- turn. It is now found that it was connected with the fight between the firms of Kimball Champ and Cragin & Co., at the time the Grand hotel changed hands. The story of the invest tions that have been ed on by the chief of police is a long one, aud the developments complotely exonerato Messrs, Kimball & Champ from the charges of dis- honesty that were made agaiost them by the Cragin-Jewell outfit, After Mrs. Cragin been invited to and her partner had give up the management of the hotel, there was o profound mystery in the air. The factsof the case wero Kept from the public with the most scrupulous cave, but that every thing was not running perfectly smoothly could mot be kept a secret. Finall the day came when Mrs, Cragin sought admis- sion to the hotel, and she was carried bodil down stuirs by a burly policeman, in ac- covdance with orders from ths management Mrs, Cragin departed from the scene of tho conflict with her plumage very muci ruffied, und breathing threats of law suits and geanco. For several days she and Jewell, her parto ved in the city and cirenlalte law suits which it might be expected would be sturted in the near future, and then they disappeaved. At that time it was charged that a scheme had been entered into between the firm of Cragin & Co., and the Phaualx furniture company, of Grand Rapids, Mich., whereby the firm ‘of Kimball & Champ were to be charged a double price for the furniture with which the hotel was fitted out, and the pro- caeds of which were 10 be divided b the two ties to the scheme. Cragin & Co. had leased the hotel with the understanding that they were to put not less than §25,000 worth of furniture iu it, this provision being for the sake of affording Kimball & Champ security that the rent would be paid. Another provision of the lease was that when that amount of furniture should bo put in the hotel, a check of §10,000 would be paid over by Kimbull & Champ to Cragin & Co., in order to help them carry on business. Tho furniture was orderod and placed in the hotel under the personal supervision of Frank Smith, the vice president of the company. He showed a draft which had been drawn on Mrs. Vokes of Wilkesbarre by Mrs Cragin, her daughter, for $10,000. Kimball & Champ hud guaranteed that the receipts from the onening banquet would be not less than 2 500 and Kimball & Champ were induced to fur- nish a checlk for §13,500, instead of the 10,000, as bud been agreed. In this way the amount of $26,000 was provided for in payment for the furniture, That something was wrong was_ indicated by the fact that Cragin & Co. had drawn on the Phoenix furniture company for $500 u short time after tue opening of the hotel, und taking that s o starting polot the authori- ties commenced an investization. About two weeks ago Jonn N. Baldwin went to Phila- deiphin, where he met agin, who made o 'confession of the whole schewe, and this confession is now in the hands of the attorneys for Kimball & Champ, who will malke it public when the proper time comes. Its exact contents are unknown, save to the partics immediately interested, but it is said that it discloses beyond all doubt the fact that thero was a_déliberate scheme entered into betweon the furniture company and Cragin & Co., wheroby Kimball & Champ were to be cheated out of about $2,500. According to experts who were sent for from Chicago to examine the furniture now in the Grand hotel and give an estimate s to its value, 1t is not worth over 14,000 at the outside, instead of $26,000, which was the prico as stated by Smith, the vice president of the company. In Mrs. Cragin’s confession she says that the draft for £0,000 which she drow upon her.mother and turned over to the company in part payment for the furniture, was never paid, aud was_uever expected to be puid. Afidavits have been secured from oll tho banks in Wilkesvarre to_the_effect that the draft was never paid. ‘The $14,700, then, which was paid by Kimball & Champ, nearly sottled for the furniture, and, according to the theorics now $advanced, tho intention of Cragin & Co. and the Phenix furniture company was that the §2,500 to ve realized from the banquet should be divided between them. 'The money was never paid, however, and swit wascommenced in superior court to collect it. The suit is still pending. Chief Cary's object in going to Lansing was to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Smith on the charge of obtaining $13,500 under false protenses from, Kimbull & Champ. He was armed with a requisition from Governor Boies, an aftidayit from Kim- .ball & Champ setting forth the facts@sub. stantiully as above stated, aud uffidavits from County Attorney Organ and Attorne General J. Y. Stone, stating that the suit was commenced against the defendants in good faith and that the facts as stated would bo good grounds for criminal proceedings in tho state of fowa. Chief Cary thought ho was armed equal to any sort of a combat, but he fouud that he had not veckoned correctly. The matter was laid before Governor Winans of Michigan, and the expectation was that the warrant for arrest would be atonce granted us asked for, but the chiof's breath was knocked out of him when he was in formed that the governor wouid have to take time to notify Smith's attoruey, as he prom ised to do s as soon as he found out that an oficer was on the ground looking for him. The telegram was sent, and Smith was uoti- fied from headquarters, Last Wednesaay the case was heard beforo tho governor, and after several hours' delay the warraut was denied, the governor assigii- ing nootuer reason than that Kimball & Champ had no valid ground for an action at law. ‘The same day seurch was mado for Smith, but ho had fled, and his attorneys claimed to have not the shghtest idea where he could b found. The action of Governor Winans in giving Smith warning to leave the couutry was tho subject for & column article in the State Republicau of July 1, and even Winans' party organ, the Journal, is as bitter in its dentnciations. They also roast Jewell un- mercifully. Jewell was formerly a resident of Lausing, where hee occupled tho position of clerk in one of the loading hotels, Ha also sang in ono of the church choirs of the eity, out his actions even at that time were cc sidered somewhat fast. e is thought to be hiding in New York city at present in order to keep away from the cficers, who may be after him soon, Chief Cury acknowledges that he is no mateh for ihe Rovernor of a state, but he says let Smith show his nose outside of Mich- igan aud then see what happens. He is con fident that he will be brought to justice in due time. The affwir has created an im mense sensation in Lansing and in fact throughout Michigan, as Smith is a member of oue of the most promineat furniture firms in the country and hus always been consid- ered perfectly straight. g— Chautauqua Today.

Benuiy, July 8, —Interviows with coal ol dealers in Berlin, both wholcsale and rotail show a very general opinion that the Stand ard oil company, having absorbel the big importion houses, willnow try to gain con- trol of the jobbing trade and thea of the retail business in Germany. Every step is taken in exact conformity with the law and the remedies to bo proposed are likely to prove only temporary and inoffectual. It is generally belicved here that evon tho Roths- childs will have to yield to the American company. Robert Salinger, president of the United German petroleum works, a corporation which has extensive refinerios in Hanover, said he had little doudt that the American company would sooner or later control the cutiro German market. As soon as they have completed their arrangoments with the Rothschilds they will have all Germany in their power. We have a few oil wells in Alsace, and there are also somo in Galicia, but théir output is so small that it plays no part in supplying the German demand. “You speak ubout the Rothschilds,” the correspondent said, “*but, Diroctor Guode, the represcntative of Nobel ‘Brothers, showed me statistics the other day indicating that the proluct of tho Rothsobild's wells was small as compared with the total of Russia’s production.’” ‘“Then I can only say that, Mr. Gacde is mistaken. The Rothschilds’ wolls may not have produced much oil, but they have much territory which is capable of \great improvo ment. Besides they contzol the preduct of many wells which they danat nominally own. The only branch of the trade m which w now have a good fleld,” continued Mr. Sal- inger, “is that of axle greaso and machine oil. Of the former Germauy's state railroads alone consume from twelve millions to fifteen million kilograms ayear. The private demand 1s oven more than that, as is also tho case with machine oil. Germany has a pro- tective tariff of 12,50 marks (about $3.121¢) per 100 kilograms on crude oil. Here we may make a successfal fignt {of a short time, but if the great company with? unlimited capital cares to lose some money it can drive us even from that field. ‘The only thing left roleum works into distilleries.” Mr. Salinger thought that Nobel Brothers would also gladly sell out to the American company rather thau risk a losing fight. The biggest coal oil merchant in Berlin is Louis Lewishon. He thinks the American company will not be content _until it has con- wol of the retail business in Germany. *The Rothschilds,” he said, “what will they do if the Americans say to thom, *You go cast to Africa, to Asia, wherever you pleuse; wo want Europe west of the Russian frontier.’ The Standard lowers prices and makes the Rothschilds howl. They have to come to terms. Add to this that Russian oil is far inferior to the American product. The Ge: man pewspapers scream and protest. That is all the good it will do. The government can do nothing. It cannot imposea protective tariff, for we have nothing 1o protect. Ifa general duty was put on petroleum the poor people of Germany would be the sufferers and not_the Standard. Our hopo is that as they fiud the absorption of - the large import- g firms so difficult they wili hesitate to undertake the work of recognizing the entire wiolosale and rotaii trade of Germ: But in timo they will doit. Such are the opin- ious of the trade in general. Al FIRE AND POLIC General Roundup ot June Business and Reports Given Out.

About thirty days ago a new aeparture was inaugurated by the San Franciseo Ex- aminer, now the leading paper on the Paciflc const. Its proprietor, Mr. Hearst, son of the late Senator Hoarst of California, who has a very large fortune at his command, concolved the idea of establishing a bureau of cluims at Washington, manned by tho ablest iawyers and specialists conversant with the routine work in the various departments and bureaus of the government. The objoct of Mr. Hearst in this undertaking s clearly set forth in the prospectus taken from the Examiner to ve published in o later issue of Tux Ber When the announcement of this new do- parture was made negotiations were at once entered into botweon Tk Bre and the pro- prietor of the Examiner to join hands and mutually share in the enterprise.

Wo can safely assure all patrons of tho bureau that the charges will be very much lower than rates charged by the regular claims lawy and claims agents at Washington, Itgo without saying that the Examiuer and Tie Beg are in position conjointly to ex- pedite business and do service at more lib- cral rates than any other medium for the prosecution of claims, ln he matter of fees and charges Tie Bee desires ouly to clear expenses.
