Not Shaken by Berry's Disappearance. Confidence In tho Intesrlty of Orlando C. Berry, tho young contractor who dis appeared Thursday after obtaining- cash on it check for $1450 In Burlington, N. J., was expressed today by members of the Berry-Qoodwln Company, 133 South h street, of which he Is president, In spllo of the fact that the police say they have virtually abandoned the foul play theory. "His standing with the firm will not be affected In the least If he can explain his disappearance," said a member of the company today, "livery one with whom he wns associated tins always expressed the highest regard tor him. We are awaiting developments." A mysterious letter received today by his father. Albert Berry, Is the latest de velopment confronting the police. The Berry family is convinced thnt young Berry met with foul play after being waylaid by thugs. The letter wns mailed in the Pennsyl vania terminal In New York. It con tained two blank sheets of pnper, two time tables nnd an Identification card be longing to young Berry, giving his nd dress, 471 Mnnnstery nvenuc, noxborough. Who mailed tho letter Is tho problem which Is now pui2llng the police. It Is thought to have been mailed by young Berry's nssnllants.

Howard Scully, an attorney, Identified him at the Burling ton City Loan nnd Trust Company, nnd tho pair then wont to the postofflce, whero Berry mailed a letter containing $100 to his wife at Itoxborough. The police hnvo been unablo to find satisfactory business reasons ns to why young Berry should havo cashed the check Instead of turning It over to tho office ot his firm for deposit In the reg ular banking houso of the concern. Checks drawn by tho Berry-Goodwin Company two weeks ago on tho First Na tional Bank of Camden to pay workmen on the Roebllng construction were, In some cases Hint havo been brought to the attention of tho police, protested nnd re turned unpaid. Scully, who went to the tniBt company with Berry at tho latter's request and Identified him, said today that Berry de clared, as ho departed with him nfter leaving the bank, that ho wns going to Trenton on the next train. Whether ho actually boarded this train tho pollco havo beon unable to learn. As far as business associates know, thero was no business of the firm that cnlled him to Trenton.

Tho father and brother went to Burling ton and conducted a search that lasted until Sunday. They found no trace of the young contractor and notified tho police.

DERRY MILLIONS IN TAXES DODGED BY 0LE0 MEN Government Unearths Frauds Surpassing Those of Noto rious "Whisky Ring." WASHINGTON, Juno 14. Oleomar garine frauds thnt havo cost tho Gov ernment moro In lost tnxes than tho whisky tax frauds have been unearthed by national agents. It wns learned to day. The whlaky frauds nveraged 2,000. OOu a yenr for many years until the ac tivity of tho Internal revenue officers In the last year frightened tho suspected distillers Into Inactivity, while the amount which the Government expects to recover in tho present Investigation will multiply that largo sum many fold. It has becomo known that the Govern ment already has recovered sovernl hun dred thousand dollars from frnrJulent dealers In olcomargnrlno In addition to tho largo sums collected by court proceed ings. In fact, It Is declared moro haB been recovered without bringing suit thnn lins been tho caso where court nctton hns been necessary. What this menns, It Is stated. In tho light of tho JC10.CO0 recently awarded tho Government by the Fedcrnl Court at Columbus, O., In Its proceedings against tho Capitol City Dairy Company and tho additional $ 100,000 being sought from thnt lame concern by tho Government, Is that the frauds have aggregated mnny millions of dollars. A revelation of the extent of tho crooked work Is promised when tho Government's cases against ccrtnln Ithodo Island denlers begins next week. This will not bo the Inst of such prosecu tions, it is said. Tho olcomargnrlno frauds aro under stood to differ from tho whisky frnuds. In their perpetration connlvnnco with revenue depnrtment employes Is not necessary. Thero Is lacking, too, the political angle of the whisky cases. Tho dealers' method of operation hns been simple. Tho tax on uncolorcd oleo margarine Is lA cent a pound; on colored oleomargarine 10 cents a pound. Tho of fending oleomargarine dealer colors his product and sells It for butter, saving 8$i cents per pound. LOST $300 AT FUNERAL Solomon Sussman Accuses Three Ac quaintances of Robbing Him.

Stahl's statement said ho saw the artillery when he carried tho trunk ot Neal J. Leach, a Lusltania steward, abroad the liner. The secret service men say Stahl never took tho trunk oboard the steamship because Leach's mink Is now In possession of the Government, and never left his former boarding house until they took charge of It.

It developed today that Ilelnz Harden' berg, wanted In connection with the affi davits setting forth that the Lusltania was armed when she sailed from New York on her fateful voyagchas a brother living in this city. According to a mem bor of the Department of Justice, sta tioned in this city, llardenberg's brother Is Fred Hardenberg, of 16IJ North Broad street. Hardenberg, tho brother of Hclns Hardenberg, was sweeping the floor nt 1613 North Urond street today, when ho admitted his identity to . representative of the Hvenino LEDOEn. The North Broad street nculress Is tho headquarters of tho Deutsches House, a gathering place for German singing societies. "Tes, 1 am n brother of Heinz Harden berg," said Hardenberg, "but further than that I havo nothing to say. You must leave me alone and not ask me any further questions." Hardenberg Is a waiter. It was learned today several agents of the Department of Justice havo been watching the North Broad Btrcct address for several days. It was reported today that Hardenberg lived In Hoboken nt tho same house whero Stahl, tho original nfTldavlt maker, resided He Is also said to have lived with Btahl at tho time that he claims to have been aboard tho Lusltania. Thero was a report today that Hnrdenberg, who Uvea here, will be subpoenaed before the Federal Grand Jury in New York and tell what he knows about Stahl. Efforts will also be made by tho Government to prove, through him, that Stahl never was aboaid tho Lusltania. Heinz Hardenberg was taken In chargo by Secret Service Agents In Cincinnati whllo In tho General I'ostotflce of that city. He was waiting for mall from his brother In this city. Hardenberg U not under arrest. Ho willingly accom panied tho Secret Service Agents to New York, wheru ho la scheduled to appear boforo the Federal Grand Jury. Tho af fidavits which resulted In Hardenberg'B visit to Cincinnati being brought to a sudden cud wcro made by Gustav Stahl. Hardenberg and Stahl aro friends, ac cording to Department of Justice agents. They lived several weeks In tho same houso in Hoboken and subqucntly at 20 Lo Hoy street, tho nddrcss given by Stnhl when ho signed tho affadavlt In which he stated that ho saw four guns on tho Lusltania. Friends of both men stato that they knew Lench, the steward, who Is said by Stahl to havo conducted him aboard the ship as sho lay at tho pier In New York. William II. Offlcy, superintendent of tho New York Offico of the Investigation Bureau of tho Department of Justice, stated last night that ho has positive evidence that Stahl never was aboard the vessel and that his affidavit was in spired and paid for by German sympa thizers. It Is thought by Mr. Offlcy that Stahl, finding that ho would not be permitted to board tho Lusltania, nnd needing money badly which ho would bo paid for It, decided to "take a chance" and made tho affidavit on a venture. The whole scheme, according to In vestigators, was clumsily planned nnd clues are easily found. The Investiga tion ot the Grand Jury will be con tinued toduy. It was said that 10 or more witnesses will be examined and that nearly 1W are available.
