BAD MAN EROM SWITZERLAND How an Unsorupulons Rascal Gave Muoh Worry to His Friends, HE CHEATS WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBITORS After Gottlug tn and Out of Troubls Two or Thres Times, H. Bertrand Monliz Disappenrs from the Swi ton At Jackson Purk, Seo- CHicaco, July Menitz came to carly last March as the represontative of the Swiss confedecation in the work of in- stallation of its oxhibits at tho fa Ho with him his two sons, the older of whom was 18 yoars of age and tho younger 14, 1. Bertrand His housekeeper from Geneva, a comely woman of about also accompanica them, When tho fair opened Mr, of a group thirty watchmakers of Genova. these same firms he acted as agent the Paris exposition. Ho had charge of the exhibits was authorized by them to tako orders for goods to be delivered after the fair and to act in the place of a manager at the exposition for each of the firms. He sold on a comn sion. Menitz had assumed his duties and been at his post for only two weeks when, on May 15, the United States cus- toms ofticials at the fair suspected him of selling goods in violation of the eus- t®us lnws. Ho was shadowed and their suspicions confirmed, He was arrested, but on the intercession of the Swiss com- missioner and the consul ut Chicago, and on Menitz'sassertion that his violation of the law was due to ignorance, he was re- leased. For some time after this occurrence all went well. Late in June a contractor named Brouil of Paris, who had orected the Swiss section in the Manufactures building, went to Arnold Hollinger, the Swiss consul at Chicago, and complained that Menitz had not paid the full amount due him, and unless the account, which amounted to 8,000 francs, was imme ately paid, he would levy on the work. An investigation followed, and it was found that Menitz had undertaken the work of installation at tho fair on a contract for 88000 francs, all of which sum had been paid him by the confederation. Menitz went t0 Paris and contracted with Breuil to do tha work for 36,000 francs. The Parisian contractor came to Chicago and completed the Swiss ctions with materials inferior to those which Menitz's contract with the con- federation called for. By this deal Menitz cleared 52,000 franes. He was called before Commissioners Perrenoud and Hollinger on July 5, and an explana- tion demanded. He replied that the work.fultilled the terms of his contr: and that his profit was perfectly legit mate. Later the Swiss manufacturers made an investigation and discovered that Menitz was $1,260 short, he having in the meantime disabpeared. An in- ventory of the exhibit is now going on, and it is thought it will reveal that his peculations have been extensive.
