A 1 Its Accouats So Manipulated as to Reccrd Losses Against All of Its Fatrons PRESERTEN NEW YORK, May 9.—On complaint of Wriggway £ - ker of Camden, N. J., Judge Lacombe to-day appointed Wal- ter D. dmunds of New York and James Colt of Boston receivers in this State for the Haight & Freese brokerage firm. The peti- tion charged that the Haight & Freese Company was insolvent; that D. in fictiticus brokerage transactions and members of the company have been guilty of misuse of its assets. Re- ceiver Edmunds was in charge of the company’s main office to-day, but was unable to give any estimate of the as-| sets or liabllities. Judge Lacombe granted an order re- | straining New York banks and trust companies from Laying out any money deposited by the firm. Bowker swears that the firm bought and sold no stocks whatever and made up fictitious accounts of alleged trans- actions, which were given to its cus- tomers. The firm had, the afidavit de- clares, more than §000 customers, whose ('[')zims amounted to more than $1,000,- 000, An pfMidavit made by Arthur M. John- son set ‘forth that he had been em- ployed by the firm in various capael- ties and in & number of the offices. He swore that no stocks were bought or sold on margins for customers, and explained at great length the method employed by the firm’s managers in | making up the alleged fictitious state- menty so that each customer would be A similar affidavit made by John M.

LOS ANGELES, May 9.—A startling turn was given to-day to the case of Attorney George D. Blake, the story of whose mental collapse was printed yesterday. Fuller investigation points to the possibility that his madness came about through hypnotic influence exerted upon him by the clairvoyant, spiritualistic medium and slatewriter, Maud won Frietag. To heighten the suspicion is the fact that the woman is now dying at 513 East Twelfth street of some disease of the brain, under what appears to be a hypnotic spell which she herself cannot throw off. In her wavering between life and death she calle the name of George Blake. & Lending seeming color to the hypoth- esis of madness through dual hypno- tism is the discovery made to-day that some weeks ago, a few days before she fell ill of this strange malady, Blake and the Frietag woman indulged to- gether in a sort of occult orgy, in the course of which she subjected the voung lawyer to her full powers of hypnotism. HORSE BACKS OVER A CLIFF Special Dispatch to The Call. a loser. FRESNO, May 9.—Word was received here to-day from Trimmer Springs of a thrilling fall over a cliff and the mirac- lous escape from death of E. M. Ste- vens, a leading citizen of Selma, and Dr. George Lobb of Butte, Mont. The men were driving along & narrow road which skirted a deep gorge when the horse became frightened and backed off the road over the cliff. The horse and buggy were dashed to pieces on a rock 150 feet below. The occupants of the buggy fell nearly as far, but luckily their great fall was broken by a clumj of thick bushes, and they escaped witl no more serious injuries than scratches and bruises. i { | : | trom Fremont, Neb., by way of Omaha, it had for a long period been engaged | | Missouri Valley, Iowa. MAE 00D OUTWITTED BY LOE Special Train of the President Skips Omaha. Sherift Foiled in Attempt| to Seive Summons in Damage Suit. White House Party Huries Across ths Missouri Miles Above the Nebraska Cily. i s Epecial Dispatch to The Call. i OMAHA, May President Roose- velt and Secretary Loeb outwitted Mae Wood in her plan to have the Secratary served at the Union depot with a sum- mons in her $35,000 damage suit by a ehange in the schedule of the al train. Instead of going east the President’s special train was sent over the Northwestern, missing this city and "crossing the Missouri River about twenty miles north of here, at The officials of the Union Racific Rail- road and the members of the Presi- dent’s party took good care that no mention of the plan to dodge Omaha was made until the train drew out of Fremont. From that point there were no stops until the river was reached. This made it impossible for the Sheriff to serve the summons he held in the Wood damage suit. Miss Wood sued Secretary Loeb, ex- Postmaster' General Wynne and E. J. Martin, Consul at 'Aix-la-Chapelle, for $35,000 for having, as she alleged, salzed and withheld the love letters written teo. her by Senator Platt of New York. Sheriff Powers of Douglas County and his deputy were.at the Union sta- tion in readiness to serve thé summons on Loeb when the special train drew in. Whan the news of the changed schedule reached this city Sheriff Pow- ers at once tried to have the summons served on Secretary Loeb at Blair. He learned that the train would be hustled across the Missouri River at that point without a stop. Thousands of persons at the Union station were disappointed at not catch- ing a glimpse of President Roosevelt. HOSPITAL FOR SICK LODGENE) Great Fraternal San- itarum Goes to Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS, N.

R Sy Labor Leaders Fear That the President Will Hot Take Up Case AR CHICAGO, May 9.—The large de- partment stores and the express com- panies to-day resumed business on al- most & normal basis. They'sent their wagons into the extreme parts of the oity, f san: 5. without protection, and transacted thel¥ = ness without interruption or “trouble of a serfous character. Sixteen hun- dred teams were at work to-day, and the number will be increased to-mor- row. Notwithstanding this apparent gain, however, there are strong indi- cations to-night that the strike . will spread within the next few days, not only among the teamsters, but will in- volve other unions as well. The drivers of the Wenig Teaming Company, a large concern chiefly en- gaged in delivering flour, went out to- day when one of their number was discharged for refusing to deliver flour to a boycotted house. The Wenig Company is a strong factor in the Team-Owners' Association, which heretofore has sided rather with the Teamsters’ Union than with the Em- ployers’ Association. - Its stand in line with the latter organization was some- thing of a surprise to both sides in the struggle. For some time this afternoon it was reported that a strike of the team- sters employed by the Crane Company was imminent. This concern is immense manufacturer of elevators and plumbing supplies, ~~~ its shut- down would be a serious detriment to many building operations now in progress. The threat to strike was caused by the discharge of two team- sters who refused to make deliveries as ordered. The officials of the un.on sanctioned the strike, but it did not occur as expected. An adjustment was reached, but the statements of the Crane Company and of the labor leaders differ as to its character. MANY CLASHES OCCUR. There were numerous clashes in the streets to-day between non-union men and the police and union teamsters, who attempted to block the passage of the wagons of the Employers’ Teaming Company. There were also a number 'of attacks by workmen in buildings, who pelted non-union men with all sorts of missiles from a safe distance. These fights were all in the character of rear guard attacks and bore no resemblance to the open violence committed during last week. The most serious fight of the day was at Lake and Clark streets, where union teamsters formed a block- ade and brought about a ‘congestion of traffic and a series of fights that blocked the streets in that section of the city for the greater part of an hour. Nobody was, seriously hurt and nu- merous arrests were made by the po- lice. Coal teamsters in the business sec- tion of the city were the especial ob- ject-of attack by workmen in build- ings near which they drove. As soun g ] as they were discovered missiles of all sorts were showered upon them and in geveral instances it was necessary for the wagon guards and the police to send a volley of bullets flying toward the windows. Nobody, however, was shot during the day. The taking of evidence relative to the granting of injunctions issued tem- porarily by the United States Circuit Court in favor of the Employers’ As- scciation and the seven express com- panies commenced ‘to-day before Mas- ter-in-chancery Sherman. Witnesses for the employers told of the trouble that led up to the strike and testified concerning assaults on non-union men. MAY NOT SEE PRESIDENT. ‘With reports coming into headquar- ters of a gloomy nature, the strike leaders were in no frame of mind to be enthusiastic over the visit of the Presi- dent. The committee to wait upon the nation’s chief has been named, but there seems to be a disposition to put President Charles Dold of the Chicago Federation of Labor the of writing a statement of the n& side of the controversy for the dent's perusal. 5 v ‘Union labor leaders appeared less en- thusiastic to-day 3 an | Betaniien of pree- e | i } i ——— p ! | | ¥ e 1‘9 | | TREETS OF THE CITY.

Apparently little hope is entertained by these men and their colleagues that the President will take such a hold of the present strike as he did in the case of the anthracite labdt war. Street car patrons were endangered more than once to-day by crowds in- tent on terrorizing strike-breakers. One woman in an Eighteenth street car narrowly escaped an ax thrown by a rioter. The weapon was aimed at six non-union teamsters returning in a street car to barns at Eighteenth and Dearborn streets from the white lead works at Sixteenth and Sangamon streets. At Rubel street a crowd of strikers was waiting for the negroes! and started a rain of bricks and stones. Suddenly a sharpened ax was thrown from the .crowd. It grazed a woman's arm and sank deep into a stanchion. The car was crowded and a panic fol- lowed among the passengers until the police dispersed the mob. ‘Women strike sympathizers started a riot at Lake and Clark streets this aft- lernoon by bombarding a non-union driver of a fruit-laden truck with oranges and other fruit. A mob of 1000 persons gathered.™Stones and missiles were thrown and one shot was fired. The riot atopped traffic on street car lines for nearly an hour. Many car windows were broken. Three on- slaughts of police were necessary to disperse the mob. In the melee bricks, canes and umbrellas mingled with the fruit hurled by the women.

He had collected yesterday a month’'s rent in advance from every occupant of the house, offering greatly reduced rates to get the money. He had also forgotten to pay the laundry bills of his guests. i3 Next Saturday Nixon was to have faced an ejectment suit flled against him by the owners of the house be- cause of financial difficulties.
