BY JOSEPH W. FOLK. Governor of the State ot Missourl. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 9.—In re- sponse to your telegram as to my opinion of the significance of the boodling ex- posures so generally being made and as to whether it indicates a decadence in the moral tone of the American people, 1 have to say: » “The hunt for boodlers and grafters now going on from one end of the land to the other is an evidence not of moral degeneration, but.of a moral awakening. Up to three yedrs ago there had been only thirty-four cases of bribery report- ed in the preceding hundred years of our country’s history. the offense was uncommon, but for the reason that it was usually for any one to be prosecuted’ for what was then termed a conventional crime. Men gave bribes and thought nothing of it. Men took bribes and boasted of the faet. Legislative halis became dens of thleves. | The touch of the unclean dollar was over all and the public conscience was asleep. “Then came the revelations in St. Louis, followed by Minneapolis and other cities and the people awoke to how they were being plundered by their trusted officials and to the fact that bribery, if allowed to go on unchecked, would mean ment not of the people, but of m ‘with wealth enough to official tavors.

NEW YORK, July 9.—Members of the | crew of Howard Gould's steam yacht Niagara were in revolt on July 5, while | the vessel was lying off the New York | Yacht Club station at East Twenty-sec- | ond street. Gould is saild to have been seated in his cabin when the men protested to Captain Grant that their fare must be improved. It was an unheard-of proceed- ing. The captain, it Is said, was as- tounded at the disposition of his men, coupled with open defiance from an able seaman, Hegman Manser, and wasted no time in seeking to force this man to re-| turn to his work. | When Captain Grant heard Manser say | hé would not go. into, the hold without nl full stomach the captain is said to have sessed. er l4nded in the hold, but | not“upon his'feet.

Gould's nightly excursion to sea was pastponed “until the following Aight.” The men made efforts to prevent Captain Grant reorganizing his force, and suc- | ceeded in- keeping several seamen from going aboard. Another grievance which the men are said to have made plain was that they weré not paid off until July 5, when they insisted upon getting their money on July | 1. It.was, too near a holiday for the captain to take chances. Gould's version of the revorted mutiny | could not be obtained to-night. He was cruising along the New Jersey coast.

There are two companies of artil- lery at Hawail and a request was made for four companies of infantry in place of them.

St. Lounis Financial Con- cern Charged With Swindling. Government Will Ai¢ in Pro- tecting Interests of 65,- 000 Stockholders. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Postmaster General Cortelyou to-night announced the issuance of a fraud order agajws- the People's United States Bank of St. Louis, Mo., its officers and agents, and E. C. Lewis, effective on July 9. The action bars the ccmpany from the use of the mails, after an investigation the postal authorities as to the detalls of the busi- ness of the institution. The Postmaster in his anouncement to-night, says: “It is understood that the funds of the bank which have not been borrowed by Mir. Lewis and his enterprises, amounting to about two-thirds of tne total amount, remitted, are deposited in banks and will be available toward reimbursement of the stockholders, who number upward of 65,000. It is the intention of the officers of the Postoffice Department to co-oper- ate with the Secretary of State of Mis- souri in every proper way for the inter- £8ts. of the. jovestors and depositors.™ DISCIPLE OF FRENZIED FINANCE. The announcement of Mr. Cortelyou says that., althuugh in early articles i his magazine, Lewis represented that he ‘Would .subsoribe to the capital stock a dollar for every dollar subscribed by all Otbers, so that he-would own one-half Of the capital stock, and that later he represented that he had pledged his en- tire fortune, every dollar he had, and his publishing business in this banking enter- prise and ‘that his subscriptions would exceed $1,000,000, the inspectors found that Lewis had not co-operated to the ex- tent of a single dollar of his own money, although the bank had been in operation several months and had a paid up capi- tal stock of $2.000,000. Continuing, the statement says: “The inspectors found that Mr. Lewis bad made an admigsion to that effect to the bank examiners on April 3, 195. The inspectors agd thelr office force in St. uis made a careful checking of the sub- scription books, finding that on March 15, 1905, Mr. Lewis had received and held as payment for shares of stock in the bank $2,289,044 and had accounted to the bank in an amount not exceeding $2,204,999. This showed that every cent of the $2,000.- 000 capital stock wh.ch had been paid in was paid out of subscription money re- ceived by Mr. Lewis from the public and that none of his own money had been in- vested in the enterprise. This was found to be the fact, although Mr. Lewis had | stated In writing to the Inspectors that $495,750 of the $500.000 paid in at the or- iginal incorporation of the bank were his personal funds. NOT A DOLLAR OF IT IS HIS OWN. “Subsequently, at the hearing before the Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Lewis admitted that that money was re- ceived by him from the people and was not his own. Although asked to do so at the hearing, Mr. Lewis failed to pro- duce any evidence whatever that any of his personal funds had gone Into this enterprise. Mr. Lewis stated at the meeting that the directors had never re- fused to make a loan he requested. “The most important of the representa- tions were that all of the runds of this bank would be loaned by a committes composed of three directors each from the five principal banks of St. Louis. “The evidence showed, and Mr. Lewis admitted it, that hundreds of thousands of dollars wese loaned to himself and his various enterprises; that no commit- tee of fifteen had been established, but that the loans had been made practically at Mr. Lewis’ will. “On March 15, the day after the inspee- tors began their investigation in the bank, Mr. Lewis placed In its assets two notes, one for $50,000, signed by himself alone, without collateral, the other for $146,378, signed by the board of airectors. Mr. Lewis received no money from the bank | at that time, the notes being put into the bank to cover money previously ex- pended by Mr. Lewis. The last mentioned note, -Mr. Lewis claimed, covered money spent in promotion of the . but as the Secretary of State of Missouri de- clined" to allow the item, it stands as a personal loan to the directors. ENORMOUS LOANS TO HIMSELF. “On March 15 Mr. Lewts had loaned from the bank’s funds to himself and his enterprises $394.605, the paid-in capital stock of the bank then being half a mil- lion. On March 29, when a 32,000,000 capi- tal stock had been pald in, a statement furnished by Mr. Lewis at the hearing upon request showed he had loaned to himself and his enterprises 3907.59. These loans include $146378 to the directors, $290,000 to the Lewis Publishing Company, $346,163 20 to the University Heights Realty and Development Company and $25,000 to E. G. Lewls. At that time Mr. Lewis had $13,730 of the bank’s funds in= vested in“stocks and bonds.of his enter- prises. “The evidence further showed that Lewis ;had agreed to loan $36.667 of the bank's money on an unsecured note, but was prevented from doing so by Secretary of State Swanzer. ““The University Heights Realty and Development Company, which had bor- Coptinued on Page 3, Columa &
