THE OMAHA DAILY B PAST MASTER OF CON GAM Eketch of the Oareer of Whitaker Wright, British Prdtaoter. ROPED IN THE ARISTOCRATIC PUSH The Peer of Modern Promoters, What How He Lived— The arrest of Whitaker Wright In New York last week gives a nearby view of one of the greatest confidence men the younz century, or the old one, for that matter, has produced. He is a British product, with some American polish acquired dur- ing a residence of six years under the shadows of the Philadelphia Stock exchange. Wright out-Hooleyed Hooley In boosting a skin game with aristocratic backing. The late Barney Barnato was not In his_class. Compared with him the American gel-rich- quicker—diamond tontine, turf investment, bome co-operatives! numerical bond, Iron Hall and other defunct schomes—are as three small pleces of silver to a doubls eagle. The nearest approach to Wright in magnitude were the operations of Jabes Balfour, a countryman, who is serving a life sentence in a British prison. An account of the life of the wrong Mr. Wright in the New York Herald says he has made and lost millions, and is accused of baving been the cause of the loss of $100,- 000,000 through the organization and fatlure of the Globe group ef companies. He lived tn Philadelphia for six years, from 1585 to 1891, occupying an office in a building where the Stook exchange now stands, and en- gaging i business as a broker in cotton, grain and petroleum. His wife is a native of Philadeiphia and her father was killed during the civil war while serving under General Grant. His successes did not begin until after he left this country. In West Australia he is sald to have made $15,000,000 in min- ing speculations, and to have made several times that amount in London in the oper: tion of compantes he organized to float his properties. He induced several members of the nobility to serve on his boards of | directors, among them the late Lord Duf- ferin, at one time governor gencral of Can- ada, who was financially ruined by the fail- ure of the concern. In appearance he is not especially strik- ing, but his personality is magnetic, and it has been sald that if he could get a man to listen to him for fifteen minutes he could in most instamces obtain from him almost anything he desired. Welghing about 250 pounds and five feet ten imches tall, Mr. Wright's axpression, except when he 'la greatly Interested in the matter under dis- cussion, s colorless and heavy. His small eyes, set well back in his head, his thick neck, retreating forehead and rounded chin fail entirely to convey any impression of the great intellectual power he is admitted to possess by all who have known him well, but when he devotes his attention to the furtherance of his plans or wishes to con- vince anyone his whole bearing changes. His éyes, turned full upon the person to whom he is talking, seem to grow larger as he warms to his subject, and it is im- possible not to feel the effect of his mag- netic personality, His High.Born Alds. Until a short time before the crash came— ond the whole financial world was shocked by the enormity of the failure—he had been for several years one of the most prominent figyres in business circles in London, Him- eelf comparatively unknown when he began his operations, he induced Lord Dufferin, Lord Loch and others with great names to wllow him to use their names as members of his boards of director: means inspired so much c undertakings that money flowed in pro- tusely from all quarters, and in several in- stances subscriptions to stock offered for sale were far in excess of the capitalization of the companies he was floating. Although never admitted to a soclal equal- ity with the members of the nobility, he Wwas on intimate terms with many men whose names appear In Burke’ rage, He claims even King Bdward his per- sonal friend and is well known to such American financiers Charles T. Yerkes and Charles M. Schwab, the latter of whom he says he met a short time ago im Paris looking in the best of expenlitures he has beon lavish bhas been bold in his financial ven- tores. His country house, in Surrey, is one of the wonders of that part of the country, ‘with its underground ball reom and elab. orately fashioned apartments. He also has & London house, which Is one of the most magnificent in the city. His yachts have been among the best in British waters and his dianers were magmificent in the ex- treme. So great, In fact, was his fame at that time that a successful novel was wriften by the late Harold Frederic, called “The Market Place,” which was understeod to veil under a thin guise of fiction the maln events in the career of the promoter and his commection with Lord Dufferim.

It increases physical vigor ves muscular el , 80 baby's advent is practically the best of tomics for just as Wright's name is sald to be J. W. Wright. Lord Dufferin masquerades as the Marquis of Chaldon. This is the novelist's description of the promoter “Thorpe was tall, but ot a burly and slouching figure. His face, shrouded in a high growiny dust colored beard, invited no attention. One seemed always to have known this face—thick featured, immobile, undistinguished. Its accessories for the time being were even more than ordinarily unim- pressive. Both hair-and beard were ragged with neglect. His commonplace dark clothes looked as if he had slept in them; the hands resting on his big knees were coarse in shape and roughened and ill kept.” The novelist goes on to describs how Thorpe induced members of the nobility to lend themselves to his schemes, and tells how the Marquis of Chaldon, “ambassador at Vienna in his time, but willing to gather in his five hundred a year just the same,” became chairman of. the board of dir~ctors of Thorpe's great company, just as Lord Dufferin became chairman of the board ot directors of the London and Globe Finance company. In the end all Thorpe's enemies are ru. ined, his friends enriched, he himself mas ries a wealthy and aristocratic wife, and the movelist leaves him planning new schemes by which he may utilize the noble friends, under whose tables he is now priv- tieged to place hia feet. His Meteoric Career. Mr. Wright's financiering has been of the pyrotechnle order. He floated into prominence and -fortune on the flood gates of the boom in West Australian gold mines. The London and Globe Finance company was a promoting concérn for manufactur- ing securities, and it has been sald that none of the directors, except Mr. Wright, had the slightest grasp of its affaira or the remotest conception of its ramifications and ventures. Men like Lord Dufferin, Lord Loch and Lord Willlam Beresford were used by Wright to daszle the bourgeois public, rather than to assist in guiding the affairs of the company. He had & marvellously rich mine in Lake View, in West Australia, which was turn- ing out $700,000 a menth in gold, and the stock goared to $140 a share. An American mining engineer was in charge at the mine, and reported to Mr. Wright's Londen office that the Bonanza mine, which was producing most of the profits, was growing bigger and stronger in depth. Mr. Wright bought all the stock in sight, only to learn later that the great store of ore. was dug out. Botore the collapse of the Lake View mine Mr. Wright had advanced $10,000,000 —the total capitalization of the London and Globe Finance company—te the Baker street railroad scheme in London. Then he bought out the British American oor- poration, with a capital of $7,600,000. It was over subscribed and the steck went to & premfum. This corporation bought up the Le Rol and other mines in British Columbia, and within two years the Le Rol mine alone was said to have made $2,500,000 profit. Four different corporations were organ- ized to control these mines and the com- panies were floated on the London market. The stock of all rose to a large premium and the market value ol the stock of the four companies soon rose to $40,000,000, representing an investment of less than $5,000,000, all made within three years. Then Came Collapse. This was inflation and manipulation which could not I Collapse was in- evitable. Thirteen firms, involving about thirty members of the London Stock ex- change, failed through the Globe group col- lapse, some of whom were among the best known men i the London finanefal world. At that time it was said that the crash, while it was certain to come sooner or later, might have been delayed had it not been for a quarrel between Mr. Wright and Joseph Kaufman, & mine exploiter, who wero once bosom friends. The former fad the bull movement in West Australian shares and the latter led the bears. After three years' fight Mr. Kaufman con- quered. Even then the Stock exchange wits had a fiilng at the prometer. ‘“When, wa Whitaker Wright?' they asked, to which the proper answer was, “When he took & Duffer-in." The story was also told ut that time, as illustrative of dangers he had escaped, of how an Indlan squaw once saved his life after he had given her a trivial present. He was out prespecting one day and looked into her tent. She immediately told him the braves of her tribe were after his scalp and hid him beneath some skins. Pres- ently up came the redskins and asked If she had seem him. She stood at the door of her tent and sald he had passed in a certain direction. Every other white man in the meighborhood was murdered. American Money Lost. \ Much American money was lost In the failure of the Wright companies., Thers was & great outery against the attftude ot the authorities In not prosecuting Mr. Wright and his fellow directors in the London and Giobe, and in January last & petition was circulated on the London Stock exchange, signed by many influential men, demanding the prosecution of Mr. Wright, as it s consldered that the credit of the city and of the London Stock exchange demanded & thorough lavestiga- tion. A fund of $26,000 was raised te initiate the prosecution of Wright. Armold White, an suthor, at & meeting sald the reason the prosecution was mot umdertaken by the government was that the directors of the London snd Globe were shelteriag them- selves behind members of the royal fanily. He added hat he understood & royal duke had fnvested his money in the comcern, and he believed that “certals hangers-op at court” were using the name of the king and others for the purpese of Biding t own nefarious deeds. Other speakers at this meeting declared that the stockholders of the London and Globe were victims of ome of the most “torrible, heartiess and gigantic swindles of the present ag Actien was taken against Mr, Wright on March 10.

ONE THINKS CELIBACY IS SELFISHNESS Susan B. Anthony Takes Up Broomstick in Favor of the Bacl elors of Both Sexes—A Warm Interview, As 1 am not holding a clerical position under the present administration I run no risk of removal it I venture to take issue with some statements of the president Likewise, Ella Darling McKillip, upon the opposite side, though some things she says are evident and reasonable. No man should be condemned as criminal it he chooses to remain unmarried, but neither do facts warrant the shower of boquets thrown at the feet of these celi- bates by E. D. M. None of us but have ob- served the truth—many of us have ex- perienced it—the married man's life is a strain and almost a fight—that there are more hands to work than there is work for hands to do, and an insufficient food supply must be divided and often sub- dlvided as new applicants for support pre- sent themselves. But select at random fifty married men who have fought and must continue to fight for even a meager competence, sharing with others; select fifty bachelors of corresponding age who choose to spend thelr all upon themselves— which are the most useful and most moral members of society? The Darker Side. We agree that man should use his reason and his intellect in the adjustment of the reproduction of his species. But it by no manner of means follows that the unmar- ried man is guided by his brains rather than his passions. ‘“Dens of iniquity” abound where the brutes of human species riot and defy all laws of God, and man, and nature—these for the besotted and de- graded. For the man of brains and intel- lect the gilded palaces of sin flourish. No less gullty is the last than the first, and far more inexcusable. Does celibacy induce or promote morality? From which class of men do these hideous resorts most largely draw their patronage and support— married or unmarried men? It won’t do to put the raisom d'etre upon any other higher grounds than that of the bachelor's objection “to change his life of ease and freedom obtained from a salary sufficient for his individual needs for one of bondage.” He may not be crimimal— only selfish, but even more than this, 'tis usually a matter of taste and preference where and how he will spend his money. Struggles and Misfortunes. Perhaps many & man has been driven to sulcide or the verge of it because of de- mands which he was unable to meet. Many another has been, too, er, worse still, to insanity when some calamity or disease swept his family away from him. His ob- ject in life went with them, without them existence was insupportal Nothing seemed worth while thereafter, though he might then bave had something more than Just clothes and tobacco. Love is the rul- ing passion in some men's lives, for which we thank God and take courage. They are the ones who in some measure redeem no small proportion of their sex from utter obloquy. 2 The article in The Sunday Bee takes no account of a large number of bachelors who are not so from choice. It is, or has been, their ambition to become benedicts. The implication is that somewhere a woman sits waiting for some man who shall become “her financial supporter,” and that she feels disappointed and defrauded it he falls to show up. Not every woman aspires to the work of trying to reform a rake or made a man out of an incapable. Of the two, her risk of {ll-assorted mating is far greater than his, and more often 'tis the wife who Is the galley stave under sentence through lite, and she usually endures her servitude with & heroism and patience of which “the man of wrath’” has no conception. Omaha, Neb. A WOMAN OBSERVER. ‘What Susan B. Anthony Says. A correspondent of the Philadelphla North American recently interviewed Miss Susan B. Anthomy en the question of mar- riage and the rearing of children, with par- ticular reference to the recent letter of President Roosevelt to Mrs. Van Worst on “race suicide.” Miss' Anthony dictated a reply, which follows, in pa President Roosevelt often talks without due consideration, and this time he s par- ticularly unconsidered in his utterance. His ideas on race sucide are those of a soldier, who looks ‘upon human beings | either as possible soldiers or possible mothers of soldiers. It is the idea of Em- peror Willlam of Germany. There s noth- | ing mew In the propositions advanced by | the president. They are as old as the pa- triarchs, whe, I belleve, had families large ugh to sult even Mr Rooseve There is not the sli; it danger of the race dying out. On the ether hand, there 18 & certainty of the race deterforating be- cause of overcrowding. There are already too many people on earth. There are too | many morally, physically unfif to live There are too many marriages—too many 1ll-considered and hasty marriages between irrationally mated men and women It ts abeurd for Mr. Roosevelt, or any other man, to say that the women of the world are evading the duties of iaternity. | ‘We see on all sides cumulative evidence to | the coentrary. Look at the thousands, hun- dreds of thousands, millions of faded, tired out, physically wrecked wives and mothers, and then tell me. If you dare, that the women do mot do their share in peopleing | the world That is where the women make a great mistake. This idea that a young girl should look forward to marriage as the chief aim tn Iffe, that the day after she lets her skirts dows to her shoe tops she must look out for a husband, is all wrong. Likewise it is worse than wrong to teach the youth with & budding mustache that some girl in the world is sighing for him, and that it is his duty to marry on nothing a year and with no definite aim in 1t Haphasard Marriages. We see the sad consequences of this nd the Mormon his four abreast. The systems come to the same end—that is the wives are mere slaves to their hus- and children Physieal Wreecks. 1 say that the mother of a large family fs in ulne cases out of tem wreck. One child usually satisfies the matrimonial instinet; two, or certainly three.. Beyond that number the wife be- comes a mother under protest exceptional circumstances a cannot be properly cared for by the mother. Better a small family where the children are healthy, bright, vlentifully fed and adequately clothed than a large family neg- lected and unschooled Look about yow in any large city and tell me if you motice any lack of children. The streets fairly swarm with them. I don't know of a city in the land where the public purse is equal to providing school accommodations. Everywhere a large percentage of children arc forced to remain out of school because there is no provision for them. Today the children come so fast that boards of education cannot keep pace with the demand. The big family idea was invented by man for his own selfish motives. Usually the father of a big family is living with his second or third wife. Motherhood has worn out the others. I sometimes almost doubt the wisdom of the Almighty; for, it he had intended woman to be a mere propagating machine, it seems to me that he ought to have made her out of better and more cnduring stuff. Most of the young men of the day are morally unfit for marriage. They are dissipated, frivolous, selfish, stingy and un- willing to support & wife. They prefer to spend their money upon frivolous girls, with no thought of matrimony. When, at last, after years of pleasure, they take a wife, they make her miserable. They elther will not support her, or, it they contribute, it is done so grudgingly as to crush the humanity out of the woman. Sinks Her Individuality. The woman who marries sinks her indi- viduality and becomes a mother, never amounting to anything but drudge. Whenever a married woman does achieve anything you will always find that | her husband is an enlightened and su- perior man, who makes no pretense to being the superior and gladly avails him- self of his partner's help and counsel. Right here I want to say that woman is proving her physical and mental right to equality, at least in the marital state, through a strange compensatory evolution in nature. Vice and dissipation have al- ready begun to tell upon the men. Hence we ses, year by year, the physical and intellectual plane of woman advancing. Look at the men and women passing in the crowded tncreasing proportion of well-formed, vige erous women—single women—women taller and more athletic than their male escorts. Observe the puny appearance of §o many of the men. Man is going backward as an animal. I believe not only should thefe be fewer marriages, but that many of the mar- iages already contracted should be dis- solved. In the thousands upon thousands of cases where the husband is addicted to licentiousness, it 1s not only the right but the duty of the woman to seek divorce. It is through woman's ignorant subjec- tion to the tyranny of man's appetites and passions that the life current of the nation is corrupted, and “suicide of the race” is threatened and not, as Mr. Roosevelt in slsts, through the failure of men and women to marry. 1t the race is to be saved from “suicide it must be saved through the intelligen emancipation of woman.
