DINED JY SOCIETY
Fantastic Faker Posed as
the Son of a Noted In
dian Chief.
New York. July 3.—The American
tbit morning says:
"Those without the pale of New
York society will no doubt be surprised
to learn that one of the members of
the smart set who has been extensive
ly entertained by Mrs. John R. Drcxel,
Mrs. John Jacob Astor and others,
and whom President Roosevelt has
consulted frequently In regard to In
dian affairs, Is no other than the eon
of Mrs. Russell Sage's negro cook.
Though known In circles of the elite
as Antonio Apache, grandson of the
famous Chief Cochle, this dusky Beau
Brummol began llfo as a Louisiana
pickaninny under the obscure name of
Tony Simpson. That such Is the true
Identity of a man whom they denounce
as "the most fantastic faker that ever
fooled New York,*' was declared today
by William M. Corey and Edward W.
Demlng, both of whom are well known
New York painters of Indian life.
"It Is about time the true character
of this Impostor Is made publicly
known,” Bold Mr. Corey. “He Is not
only a faker, but a scamp. He Is the
same negro who stole a painting from
me about nineteen years ago. and In
consequence, served two years In Sing
Sing prison."

STORY AS MALICIOUS.
Los Angeles, July 3.—Apache, when
seen at the Indian Crafts Exhibition
grounds early this morning by a re
porter, Aatly denied the whole story,
which he declared was a malicious
fabrication.
■'This story Is all new to mp, and I
cannot understand the motive behind
It. It Is false from beginning to end
and must have been Inspired by mal
ice. There is a mistake somewhere
nnd I shall try and And out what It all
means. There Is not a drop of negro
blood In my veins. I have proof of my
Apache descent and It will be pro
duced whenever necessary."

L. & N. WILL MAKE
NO FIGHT ON TAX
Washington, July 3.—Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte Is conducting a vigor
ous Investigation with a view to dis
solving the Guggenheim Smelter Trust.
This Investigation, which waa per
sonally ordered by President Roosevelt,
has proceeded as secretly as possible,
and efforts have been made to prevent
the American Smelting and ReAnlng
Company—the parent corporation of
the Slnelter Trust—from discovering
that they arc about to be placed on the
hot grill of the government'* "trust
busters.”
These efforts were unavailing, how
ever, and the trust managers know of

gation Includes not only violations of
the anti-trust law, but also the rela
tionship sustained by the Smelter Trust
toward the railroads which traverse the
country in which smelting ore origi
nates.

cepting assessments placed on Us Geor
gia properties, even Including the new

comptroller and the road was the new-
freight terminal. The Louisville and

exempt on the ground that It belonged
to the Georgia railroad. The claim was
made that the Louisville and Nashville
loaned the Georgia road money to build
the depot, and then proposed to lease It
from the Georgia
Comptroller General Wrlgltf could
not see how It should be exempt, and
assessed It at 1360,000, the probable
value on March 3L

on the Atlanta Knoxville nnd North
ern, an Increase of $1,000 per mile, and
$25,000 per mile upon the new main
line from Carterevllle to the Tennessee

STATE FUNDS LOW;
AIAY BORROW CASH
Owing to the low ebb of funds In the
state treasury, it may become necessary
for Governor Smith to borrow some
9200,000 to meet the $70,000 expense of
the legislature, salaries of state house
officials and other current expenses of
state.
Since the payment of $160,000 In
semi-annual Interest on state bonds,
there Is left only $35,000 in the state
treasury, which will not go far In
meeting current expenses. At this
time the state's income Is light, being
limited to $35,000 monthly rental on
the Western and Atlantic and some
special taxes.
Under the law, the governor Is au
thorised to borrow money to tide over
such casual deficiencies.
