POLICE CAPTURE - ALLEGED FORGER Moses Schwartz Is Ar- rested on Serious Charges. Prisoner Accused of Defraud- ing Old Seventh Na- tional Bank. | PHILADELPHIA, March 26—Moses Schwartz, who is wanted in New York for alleged forgeries on the Seventh Na. tional Bank aggregating $100,000, was ar- rested here to-day by Detective Sergeant McNaught of New York and Detective Meyer this city. Schwartz was ar- raigned for a hearing this afternoon and was held to await requisition papers from | New York. R. W. Jones, vice president of the Sev- enth National Bank of New York, made & statement, in which he said that Schwartz, as manager of the Manhattan Mercantie Company, 35 South Williams street, New York, had an account with his bank. { The Manhattan Mercantile Company failed last summer, a short time previous to the failure of the Seventh National Bank. While he was a depositor, Schwartz, it is alleged, secured loa amounting to about 3$190,000 on worthless notes. When the fraudulent nature of | the notes was discoveted, Schwartz had | disappeared, leaving his family in Chi- cago. His wife was subsequently shad- | owed, and Schwartz was located on ‘South Sixteenth street, this city. He had been | here six weeks. | Jones said there is an indictment) sgainst Schwartz in New York, charging)| him with swindling another bank. | NEW YORK, March 26.—Officials of the Seventh National Bank declined to-day 1o | discuss the arrest at Philadelphia of Moses Schwartz and referred all inquiry | 1o Sullivan & Cromwell, attorneys for the | bank. At the office of Sullivan & Cromwell a statement was ‘made that Schwartz was 2 customer of the old Seventh National Bank, which had discounted a large num- ber of motes for him as manager of the Manhattan Mercantile Company. The to- | tal amount of these notes, it was stated, was $78.000. It was later discovered thaf | there was forgery in connection with him. The new Seventh National Bank took up | the matter and caused his arrest on the | specific charge of the forgery of $1000. | The Seventh National is not affected, it is said, as all the facts were known be- fore the reorganization, by which the a counts in ques as absolutely worthless. | FOUL BLOW IS STRUCK Fight Between Mike Donovan and | “Dutch” Thurston Has Unsatis- factory Ending.

Amalgamation Said to0 Be Solely for Correction of Abuses. CHICAGO, March 26.—The final steps in the formation of the National Millers’ Federation, representing a total capital of $400,000,000 and an annual flour output of 100,000,000 barrels, were. taken at a meet- ing held here to-day. ‘the federation is the national organiza- tion of the Staté organizations and in dition it will include the National Millers’ Assoclation and the National Winter Wheat Millers' Association. Officers of both these organizations have been promi- nent In organizing the new federation. At to-day’'s meeting the following of- ficers were elected: President, Barney Eckhart, Chicago; ‘first vice president, Henry L. Little, Minneapolis; second vice president, ex-Governor E. 0. Stannard, Missouri; treasurer, W. C. Ellis, St. Louls. A board of directors, which includes the officers, was elected, the additional mem- C. 0B, Min nesota; W. H. Davis, H. H. Hackney, Kansas; J. M. Razzor, Texas; W. M. Rowe Michigan; C. L. Cutter, Ohio; A. L. Miner, Pennsylvania; C. E. Engel, New York; E. R. Pruneson, Illi- nois; Secretary Carter, Minnesota. The first annual meeting will be held in Chicago June 12, 18(2. President Eckhart declared the federation was not a com- bination for the contral of prices, but for the purpose of furthering mutual interests and correcting abuses which, he said, had grown up during the past twenty years. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the legislative moyements to’ give the Inter- state Commerce’ Commission authority to enforce its rulings and to correct the ac- tion of ocean steamship companies and railroads in the alleged discrimination in freight rates against flour in favor of wheat. The Nelson amendment to the Harter act in reference to the London landing clause to prevent the steamship companies from_ discriminating againss American—flour was indorsed. Eckhart explained that American flour had to pay an unjustly high dockage rate at the London wharves. In his address President Eckhart de- clared that the new federation should en- deavor to extend the flour market by dip- lomatic commerctal reciprocity treaties or othervwfse. Young Robber Captured.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. | SEATTLE, March 26.—With the arrival of the Dolphin from the north to-day | came news of the determired opposition which the residents of Atlin are making against the importation of Japanese help. Sixteen Japanese who were under con- | tract to the Atlin Mining Company have reached the camp ere this, and the next steamer probably will bring dgtails of the | method of their reception by the enraged whites. 7 A public meeting was called by Deputy Gold Commissioner E. J. Thain at the | Courthouse in Atlin. A large number of | business men and miners turned out and | standing room was at a premium. The | purpose of the meeling was to devise ways ana means of prevailng upon R. D, Feth- erstonhaught, manager of the Atlin Min- ing Company, to send back the sixteen Japahese. “etherstonhaught acknowledged that gixteen Japanese laborers were on their way from Vancouver under contract to hix compuny and explained that he had’| been Instructed by his directors in Lon- don to employ Oriental labor for work | on the flumes and dump and had no volce | in the matter. He was prepared to guar- antee that no more Japanese would be employed and that e property was put upon a paying basis“this reason even these few Japanese would be conspicuous by their absence next year. The Atlin Board of Trade at its monthly meeting unanimously indorsed the anti- Japanese movemént and the secretary was instructed tg-so notify the authorities on the outside. HILL IS NOT BACKING LORD THURLOW’'S PROJECT ‘Writes That He Has No Connection ‘With the Eureka and Eastern Railroad. SPOKANE, March 26,—About a month ago it was announced that the Eureka and Eastern Railway was to be built from Eureka, Cal., to Weiser, Idaho. Lord @s saying that he had reached ments with Messrs. Hill and Harriman that the Great Northern would connect with the new line at Weiser and that roads would act in conjunction, answer to inquiries, a letter from Presi- dent Hill has been received here, contain- ing the following: & “I beg to say that I know nothing what- ever about the Eureka and Eastern Raii- In Pills. | few days back, the midget rider landed | 0dds of 25 to 1, beating Janice and others. | the AD “Bill” Knapp, the sixty-two- pounder, been a tragedian instead of a jockey, there is no telling +how many curtain calls he would have received, judging from his reception from the crowd at Oakland yes- terday after capturing the mile and three- urlong handicap with Frangible. Only a | the same horse first for a handicap at Watercure shouldered top weight, 118 pounds, yesterday and went to the post a 3 to 5 favorite. Frangible carried 100 pounds, and some few of the books laid 11 to 1. Knapp went out in front from the start with his mount,*and although Jackson moved up in plenty of time with favorite, he could not overhaul the outsider, which won, ridden out, by a length. Position lost the show to Liz- zella. The Fretter gave it up after dfs- playing considerable early speed. But Watercure was not the only favorite to go down, for five others—Ishtar, John Peters, Black Dick, MacGyle and Head- water—kept the Morris horse company. The track was a trifle cuppy, which, in a measure, may have accounted for the downfall of some of them. Willie Sink’s Royalty, with Troxler up and 4 to 1 in the ring, took the opening sprint from Ishtar. The latter filly, a 6 to 2 favorite, looked all over a winner at one time in the stretch, but was out- gamed and beatdp half a length. Vas- allo, a 15 to 1" shot, came from the rear, timishing a close third. John Peters, at § to 5, proved the next choice to go by the beard. He led from the jump in the six and a half-furlong run _and was then collared the last 160 yards and downed in a hard. drive by Colonial Girl, an 8 to 1 chance. The win- ner was well ridden by Goodyear. Pat Morrissey had all he could do in disposing of Tufts for the show. Bassenzo was left. There. was a steady play on Commis- sioner Forster at 3% to 1 to annex the mile selling affair and the Schorr colt turned up an easy winner. Jackson, who had the mount, passed Matflda O when ready and at the wire landed his mount nearly three lengths in front of Len:;i Black Dick, piloted by Conley, struck n ger‘ous squalls, losing third place to Dean wift. Following the handicap, the Elmwobd Farm's MacGyle went to the post favor- ite over Dr. Bernays for the mile and a sixteenth selling event. Jackson did not keep the Brutus horse up close enough, or else he could not, and fl;% Doctor breezed in first. Quadra ran third. Headwater looked best of those start- ing in the Futurity course sprint, which concluded the card, and was installed an 8 to § favorite. Pocketed for two-thirds of the route, he finished third. Cleverly | ridden by oxler, Hilee, carrying 117 pounds, stood a long drive, getting the decision from Eecalante by a neck. To-Day’s Entries.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, March 26.—A bit of gos- sip about a ‘“‘combination’” of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe raiiroads to down Henry E. Huntington's electric rail- road companies, which has been the sub- Jject of columns of speculation in certain newspapers, was laid to rest this even- ing by Paul Morton. first vice president of the Santa Fe Company. Morton de- clared that there was nothing in the re- POrt—not even the suggestion of a com- bination between the two rallroads for any such purpose. ‘Lhe story of the threatened war is based upon a report that E. H. Harriman of the Southern Pacific and E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe will hold a conference in Los Angeles upon the arrival here of Mr. Harriman. Whether the two railroad presidents will meet here at all Mr. Mor- ton could not say, but he was positive that if a meeting were held it would not be for the purpose of perfecting the ar- ticles of a declaration of war on Hunting- ton. Morton said: ‘“We are entirely too busy right now to give any attention to the affairs of the Southern California electric railway com- panfes; afid, indeed, there does not appear 1o be anything in relation to the electric roads to demand our attention. I do not know that Mr. Ripley and Mr. Harriman will meet in Los Angeles, but if they do the meeting probably will not be more than a friendly one. I have never heard a word about any combination agatnst Huntington’s electric railways."” —_— LOS ~ANGELES, March 26.—Alexander Wosencratt began suit in tne Superior Court to-day against the Los Angeles Electric Com- pany, the Los Angeles Lighting Company, the Los Angeles Railway Company, the San Gabriel Power Company, the San Gabriel Electric Com- pany and the Edison Electric Company to se- cure $10,000 damages for personal injuries as the result of plaintiff coming in contact with an electric wire on May 1, 1900, while standing ENGLISH DCk WILL RUN HERE Gambit Is Among the “Entries at Union Coursing Park.
