WHITAKER V.T.K'.iT

AND HIS KETHODS British Financial Promoter Denied They Vere Unlawful. CLASSED HIMSELF WITH M0EGAN. Famous Swindler Was Proncl of n IntC In the Same Hunk With td American Financiers What He Thought of' Our Great Industrial Combination ill American Counsel's View of Ills Conviction. "What happened to me might happen any day to the men who stand at the head of any of the great American Industrial combinations," said the late Whitaker Wright, the British promoter and financier, to James Creelman last March, at the time of his arrest in NeAv York, saj-s the New York World. "Take the United States Steel corporation, with its hundreds of millions of stock. Suppose that the greatest enterprise in the Avorld should fail and its stock shrink $500,000,000 in value. Would the people who lost their money then have J. Pierpont Morgan arrested? Would he be to blame because they bought watered stock at more than it was Avorth? "It is fortunate for directors of American trusts that they are not under the companies laws of England. You could not float your industrials in London. It would be impossible to organize companies there on the lines followed in America. The laAvs would prevent itThere is no difference between what I did in England and Avhat your industrial companies are doing in America." Of all "get rich quick" SAvindlers that have brought disaster to thousands Whitaker Wright was easily the greatest of his kind. lie always denied that his methods Avere unlawful and prided himself on being in the same class as J. Pierpont Morgan and Charles M. Schwab as h financial promoter. He was born in Cheshire, England, in 1840. His parents, aa'Iio Avere in comfortable circumstances, gave him a good education, and he qualified as an expert mining engineer and showed special aptitude as a chemist. In 1S67, . after his father's death, he came to America and Avas employed in mines in the west as an assayer. He removed, to New York in 1SS0 with a fortune obtained as a mining prospector. He returned to England in 1SS9 and conducted financial operations on such a vast scale as to earn for him the reputation of a Monte-Christo. His laA-ish expenditures dazzled the British public, and he Avas. regarded for a time as the greatest financial genius of the age. He organized company after company. He formed the London and Globe Finance corporation, limited, to take over the various securities of mining corporations in which he was interested. In December, i50tr this corporation failed and carried ruin to many homes in Great Britain and crippled several prominent business, houses. Many members of the London stock exchange Avere ruined by the failure. Thirteen banking and brokerage firms failed as a result of the collapse of his company. Wright came to America again itt March, 1903, and on March 14 was arrested as he was leaving the boat. He had booked as M. Andreoni. The arrest was made on a criminal charge in connection with the conduct of the London and Globe Finance corporation, limited. Extradition proceedings resulted in his starting back to England in the custody of two English detectives. "I am very deeply shocked by the tragic death following so closely his conviction," said Samuel Untermyer, who was his counsel during his fight against extradition, "and I cannot help thinking him entirely a victim of misfortune. His conviction under the circumstances Is a good illustration of the difference in the criminal law of Great Britain and the United States. England and Germany hold those responsible for the conduct of corporations to a much stricter accountability than we do. "Mr. Wright would not have been convicted in America. Many men who now hold their heads high in the financial district of this city (New York) would be panic stricken if the same laws that goAern finance in Great Britain Avere suddenly to apply here. If such laws did obtain, investors here would be much safer." Cheap Sleeping Quarters. "A neAv graft has been discovered in Sedalia, Mo.," says one of the papers of that place. "Every night for some time past the men's Avaiting room at the Missouri Pacific station has been crowded with men sleeping in the seats. When asked their business there by station attendants they im-ariably resurrected tickets to some nearby town, and said that they Avere Availing for trains. A few days ago about fifty of these regular boarders applied at the ticket office to have the tickets redeemed. The agent then got next to the fact that the tickets were purchased for the sole purpose of bunking in a warm room." Kansas City Journal. Marriage Offers to a Centenarian. Hiram Cronk of Dunnbrook, near Utica, N. Y., said to be the last survivor of the war of 1S12, will be 104 years old on April 29. Mr. Cronk recently had his pension increased, and since then he has had six offers of marriage from yvomen from tAventy-one to fifty years of age. A bill has been introduced by Assemblyman Evans to give Cronk a pension from the state of $72 a month.
