FUllS ARE FLEECED I llll I ^ "Ml f BLACKMAIL iAN§ WORK aiCK TRICK ON RICH FOLKS HADE FORTUNE IN YEAR Fashionable Room Le«4 Men and Women Into Compromising Post* ttoas. Then Confederates Swoop - Upon Them as “Federal Agents”— Gash Collected and “l^ldence” Is Forgotten. In a raid on a fashionable south side apartment hotel at Chicago early Sunday government secret service men arrested five men and three wo men. ' They are alleged to be mem bers of a gang Of blackmailers who have been operating extensively in New Yorfc and Philadelphia, and are said by secret service men to have forced their victims to give two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. The persons arrested are: - Henry Russell, Edward Donahue, James Christian, George Bland, Frank Crocker, Mrs. Helen Evers, Mrs. Frances Chapman and Mrs. Ed ward Donahue, alias Allen. They are indicted In Philadelphia for black mail, conspiracy and kidnapping and will be tried there after a prelimi nary hearing in Chicago Tuesday. George Irwin and Homer T. French were arrested In Chicago June 10. Irwin and William Butler are indicted for kidnapping Mrs. Regina Clipper of Philadelphia. French is on parole and reports to Hinton G. Clabaugh, agent for the department of Justice in Chicago. The members of the band are ac cused with using the beauty of their women members and the fascinating powers of their male confederates to toman—of aorti' busy in New York and Philadelphia, where a dozen warrants are waiting for almost all of them. “They picked only rich men. many of them prominent, for their victims. They worked with none but beautiful women—young girls as a rule. Their men members were all attractive, well dressed and well educated. There has been nothing crude about the work of any one of these people. “The girls have succeeded in luring wealthy young men Into ; compromising positions with as- , tonishing ease. The men have done almost aa well with women victims. "They dodged us for months. Then In June we got William Butler and George Irwin. These men, we be lieve, are the leaders." Clabaugh declared there were fif teen known victims 6f the gang, and the amount obtained from these vic tims will reach probably two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. A New York banker, he added, warn forced to give up forty thousand dol lars during a visit to Atlantic City. The authorities refused to reveal the names of the victims. Some, it was ■aid, are men prominent in political life, who were victimised while at the Republican convention in Chi cago last June. — Mm. CM—t la-one UulJud the tigating bureau of the department of justice said at Chicago that he had secured enough evidence to convict the gang accused t>f using the Mann white slave act as a weapon to black mail wealthy men and women in New York, Philadelphia and other places, without exposing the names of some of their victims. These victims, principally weal thy men whose flirtations with pretty women led them Into traps from which they escaped only on payment of huge suifia, will be shielded from publicity except as a last resort, It is said. Mr. Clabough also revealed that II was through e the- '‘squealing” of Frank Crocker, now under surveil lance In Philadelphia, that the full extent of the operations of the gang became known to the department. “ 'We’ve got Frank Crocker In Philadelphia,” said Blabough, “and it was from him information about the band first came. He was'once a member of the band. He was “in” on the fleecing of Mrs. Regina A. Kllpper of Philadelphia. There was some trouble after the money had been paid over. He didn’t get what he thought was coming to him and was mad. “Crocker tried to get his money. He folloiv^d Irwin and French to Chicago at the time of the Republi can convention In June. He again demanded his share, and was laughed at. That made him madder than ever. He went to the detective bu reau and told his story to Detective Crot. The case was turned over to the federal authorities." Federal government detectives, fortified with information obtained from two alleged members of the gang who confessed, made arrests In other cities and spread a dragnet for the director-ln-chlef of the syndicate. According to the federal author- Itiew, the confea«iouM which have been made, show that the opera tions of the swindlers netted them one million dollars in the last year. The confessions, It was said, dis closed that the alleged band numbers sixty persons, a third of them wo- ATTACKS ON STREET CARS' ~ INCREASING IN NEW YORK 4-1 O'* 1 * prominence in New York, PhUad*l.rnn>n.

Strike Leaden Hold Off Sympathetic Strike Order Until Thursday— Hope Almost Gone; Union leaders in New' York prom ised to withhold their order for a sympathetic strike until after Thurs day and In the meantime the city authorities and business men were Endeavoring to find some way to pre vent an extension of the labor war which threatens to tie up a consid erable part of the city's industries. The attempt to operate surface cars Tuesday night resulted in the worst rioting since the strike began, but officials of the transit company say service in the daytime Is improv ing steadily. Throughout the night elevated trains and subway trains at points where they ran on elevat.ed struc tures were subjected to bombard ment of bottles and bricks, car win dows being shattered and a number of passengers injured. Wednesday there were several at tacks by strikers and sympathizers on surface cars and police reserves were repeatedly called out^ During the^ forenoon attacks on surface cars continued intermittent ly. The last twenty-four hours have witnessed the most extended disturb ances of the strike, pdiice reports Wednesday showing the arrests of twenty men declared to bd former employees.

She paid thirty-five hundred dollars. They asked for twenty thousand dollars, but discovered that she was not the wealthy woman they had figured. She told her story to the government officials In Philadelphia. One night she 'was called out of her home by two men who posed as government officials, showed badges and told her she was wanted in Chi cago to tell her story to other offi cers. She went with them, and be fore she was aware the train was in Canada. She was kept a prisoner in Montreal, but escaped and now is back in Philadelphia. Explaining events after Mrs. Klip- per's exposure, officials say that Dick Barrett and Edward J. Thomp son, two of those arrested, also con fessed. ”We put pressure on them and made them tell what they knew. We promised we wouldn’t prosecute if they told things, and they did. What they told astounded every one who heard it. Crocker told the story of his grievance against Irwin under oath In court. Here it is: “ ‘I met Mrs. Klipper in a New York cafe. We became pretty friend ly and she invited me to her home in Baltimore. I went there and spent several days, scarcely leaving the house. One night I walked out for a little air, and got to thinking about “Doc” Qonohue. We had worked to gether some. He lived only a few door* away. I went to see him and told him what fine pickings the wo man was. He introduced me to Irwin and the two gave me one hundred doITars expense money to swing the deal.’” Crocker turned State’s evidence against Irwin and French last June when they were before United States Commissioner Lewis Mason for the swindling of Mrs. Kllpper'. He said then: "I took Mrs. Kllpper to a room In the Hotel Navarre In New York.” he said, "and ’while we were plone In room Ivw'n and French broke -lenoi 1 bed tfie down and d cuffed me, repreeentln* them selves as government agents, and then made demaads for money.” Ho tostifiod he replied he had no and tried to gat a Way., and that Mrs ..Kllpper then t aad gave moaey to Ir- The operations of the band. It is sajd, extended from coast to coast. Men and women alike were vie- time. Persons of wealth were the objects in every case. Five wealthy and socially promi nent persons In Chicago, It Is as serted, were blackmailed out of twenty thousand dollars. The operations of the syndicate were not conflnod to the blackmail ing of wealthy men and women, ac cording to Information developed. Among the effects In the office of Edward Donahue, one of the men caught In the raid, was stationary of a “Turf Exchange,” with “headquar ters In New York and offices all over the world.” There were also cipher codes for deciphering mes sages received by wire, telling what horses to bet on, how much to bet, what races and positions to play. Hogue newspaper clippings telling of the large bets won by a young eastern plunger in poolrooms appar ently had been used to lure victims. W henever the leaders of the gang learned of a gullible man or woman of wealUi the men and the women of the organization beet suited for tltat particular Job were immediately set to work. It mattered not that the victim lived in New York, Chicago or Sau Francisco. One case which was Investigated by the department of justice reveals the work the gang accomplished. A Philadelphia woman, married and a mother, was induced to come to this city by one of the suave good- , looking swindlers who had scraped an acquaintance with her In Atlantic City. She accompanied him to a hotel. Two men—agents of the gang—• Invaded the apartment and made a pretense of arresting both the man and the woman. They displayed bogus shields of United States agents and shook before the startled eyes of the woman counterfeit warrants for the arrest of herself and her companion. Then her companion hurled him self upon the intruders and knocked one down and split the lip and less ened the front teeth of the other. But finally overpowered, be produced his check book and offered a check of big denomination as hush money. The supposed government agents, with skilfully professed reluctance, agreed to accept the bribe, but in sisted It mifst be In hard cash. To this demand the man consented, af ter counterfeit hesitation, explaining that his home and his bank were in Boston, and one of the “agents” would have to accompany him there to get the cash. The woman, dazed, also consented to pay a large sum of money, and one of the men took her back to Philadelphia and made the collection. Austrian Aeroplanes Sinks French Ship Hut Saves Men. < The exploit of Austro-Hungarian aeronauts who, with two seaplanes rescued twenty-nine men, the officers and crew of the French submarine Foucault, is described by the Berlin Tageblatt. Official announcement was made at Vienna Friday of tho sinking of tha-Faucault hy an Aua- am. r mnoa i^uway; two man seaplane oh the southern‘Attri-- mttgp from 9t. Cfair “ud 'atic. . . The Tageblatt says the rescuing of the crew was directed by First Lieut. Konoyvlc, who on two previous oc casions had saved comrades who had iaiteu into the sea. The saa was rought at the time and there also were danger that the Austrian aeronauts would be captur ed by hostile warships as well as that of the aeroplanes, overloaded by tak ing on board so many men, might collapse. Nevertheless the Austrian aviators told the men from. the French submarine to swim to the aeroplanes and take hold of them. The commander and second offi cer of the submarine were allowed to climb into the pilote' seats. The aviators signalled for help and half an hour later a topedo boat arrived and took on the men from the sub marine. DEADLOCK IN DOBRUDJA Neither Side is Gaining Victory in Roumanian Battle. Latest reports regarding the Im portant campaign In the Roumanian province of pobrqdja indicate a les sening in the Intensity of the strug gle between the Invading armies of the central powers and the Russians, and the Roumanians facing them. Field Marshal von Mackensen's in itial attempt to break the Allied lines, formed to defend the Constan- sa-Tchernaveda railroad, evidently having failed, the opposing forces and apparently now virtually deadlocked aiDur the-front from the Danube u> the Black Sea. The current statement from Buch arest announces only artillery duels along the Danube. It declares, how ever, that the Roumanians have made some progress on their left flank, which rests on tue seacoast. RAID DESTROYS MUCH Steamer Captain Says JRecent Raid Was Most Instructive. Twenty-six persons were killed outright, three hundred were wound ed and a vast amount of property damage was done in London by Zep pelins which raided the British Isles Saturday night, according to a wire less message picked up by tjie Brit ish steamer Norman Monarch, which arrived in Hampton Roads Monday.
