This man's mind thought In millions; oxen a Morgan couldn t have had such visions ns he: nnd his thoughts expressed themselves In words so cleverly that barrels of money flonted In from all directions and tho fame of his ntor prlso grew llko a hugo bubble. Uomo how, the bubble must havo been related to John Law's. At nil events tho pin ot tho law got busy nnd the bubble burst. All this happened months ngo. Yester day tho man sat for hours in tho United Statee District Attorney' oruco and heard his friends testify that ho was poor. He looked tho p.rt. Bint clown with the weight of jears and pcrhnpi torrow, "Colonel" George Wilkinson, former president ot tho Central Ten nessee Development Company, heard testimony given before Postal Inspector Frank W. Smith, which will be used against him next November when ho comes to trial down In Tennessee. "Colonel" Wilkinson was arrested and Indicted on chirjes of conspiracy and fraud by tho uso of tho mall. Although his operations were confined largely to tho Spring City, Tennessee, proposition, mnny of the nets or this drama arama indeed for tho poor trusting sons of TenncFseo who awoko too late to find themselves poorer but wiser havo been acted In this city of Brotherly Love. Wilkinson himself was born In Wclls boro, Tioga County of this State. For n long time ho hnd a suite at tho New Bingham Hotel. Many Pcnnsylvanlans nre said to havo parted with their hard earned savings in order that they might becomo rich over night. As for his wonder scheme well, that will be told directly. BELIEVE HIM HONEST Those who testified in the Federal Building yesterday were Wirklnson's friends: at least they wero his witnesses. Wilkinson declared that he did not.have tho necessary money to pay their way to Tennessee. They were J. Henry Julian, secretary of tho Rider Cement Brick Machine Company: O. P. Jones and C W. Fuller, both of Charlestown Town- Bblp, Tioga County; and Norman Grey, of Camden. Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney L. Pope tamo from Ten nessee to attend tho hearing. Although the witnesses declared they thought Wilkinson to be honest, Govern ment ofilcials said the testimony had been damaging to tho defendant and that tho postal Inspectors hnd recognized what they termed a common BChcmo to de fraud. ' ,Now for the scheme. The sceno must bo shifted to Spring City. Tenn. The coming of "Colonel" Wilkinson to that section was unheralded. Ho "tooted his own horn." ns ho headed his financial prow toward Spring City, and soon the whole of Rhea County was awake. Ho said he was a financial authority nnd promised industrial developments nnd re newed activities which would transform that . mountain section Into a veritable Eldorado. As If by magic, cities and towns wero to spring into existence and citizens were to becomo rich over night. Vast mineral deposits wero to bo opened and railroads were to bo built. Even a small creek there was to bo widened Into a mighty waterway which would help to transform that town of 1500 Into a world's metropo 11 which would outrank New York. HE "CURSED" MORGAN. Wilkinson told tho wondering citizens ho wns on familiar terms with J. Pler pont Morgan, tho late financier. He even told a story of how he had "cussed" Morgan out of his offlco and how Mr. Morgan had called on him to express his regrets. But wonders would not cease. Tho "Colonel" Inspected tho local hotel and said ho would make It the finest on earth. JIo planned to build a sanatorium which would make Spring City tho Carlsbad of America, In fact, the one Callsbad of tho world. Plans for both structures wero considered and tho many promised fea tures presented themselves In massed ar ray. .. , t .. ,. , The fertile vaiieys nuuui. me srcai city" wero to be dotted with farms and ranches. Tho whir of tcxtllo machinery was to mingle with the nolso of machine shops. The wide-eyed residents saw a veritable land of promise. Tho "Colonel" was tho man of the hour. He had a lordly hand. He was courted and entertained. Citizens vied with each .ih nnd courted his favor and friend ship. Options wore taken on farms and on several thousand acres of fertile val ley farms, and on mountain lands said to bo filled with rich mineral deposits. After a conference with tho leading citi zens, Wilkinson began to explore the sur rounding country. He made an investiga tion of crop conditions, and selected sites for the various Industries ho had planned. COMPANY ORGANIZED. Then camo tho organization of the com pany which was to bring forth tho golden egg The company took Its name from tho "Shlnbono Ridge." It was Incor porated under the laws of Delaware with $6 000,000 as 1U capital stock. Tho namo was later changed to the "Central Ten nessee Development company, ami lor a while all went well. Tho stock sold like wildfire and more options wero taken. Lands which would not sprout cow peas wore to bring from J100 to J200 an acre. WMklnson came north to Philadelphia. Ha would write dally telling of tho mighty deals he was putting through. Options expired, and, with no cash in sight trouble was scented in Tennessee On June 24, 19H. Wilkinson was arrested by the order of Chief Postal Inspector Cortelyou, of Philadelphia. Ho was in dicted In Tennessee somo months later. Wilkinson Is nearly 80 years old. His city of dreams was to have no saloons or gambling dens. Aa for a Jail-well, none was mentioned In the plans. Banks, however, In visions, at least, wero there galore.

ROUSE'S POINT, N. Y., Aug. 31 A battle, In which moro than 4000 men took part, fought over moro than n mile of front, wns the feature yesterday of the maneuvers In which the business men of tho Plattsburg training camp are participating It wns tho most preten tious event of tho wnr game so far, nnd tho hundred or so Fhlladolphlnns who, for three weeks havo been studying the science of wnr, got as near the real thing as nnv of them care to. For tho first time all tho forces were engaged nnd tho fighting assumed the proportions ot a pitched battle, In contrast to the skirmishing to which tho efforts of Btnall parties had been confined up to that time. Tho Blue forces broke camp nt Cooper town early, and Attempted to cngngo tho enemy and prevent a Juncture of a Red force moving from the town of Champlnln, with nnothcr Red forco es tablished at Rouse Point, on Lake Cham plain. Tho latter Red forco hnd sufficient tlmo to becomo entrenched thoroughly In nn excellent position on a height back of tho small town that bears the promontory's name. Tho Bluo force, however, wero not nwaro of that fact. After marching for four miles or so from Coopcrstown, the patrols and advance guards camo in con tact with the enemy cavalry patrols, slowly forcing them back. As tho right Hank guard, consisting of hnlf the busi ness men, swung through tho town of Rouso Point, tho fighting becamo hot and extremely spectacular. Tho advance patrols kept up a continual flro from various vantago points in tho town. Any coer was utilized, from tho pump In a backyard to n passing buggy with n tcrrllled farmer Inside, trying to mako out w hat it w as all about. The town wns finally cleared as the cavalry fell back. Tho flank guard then proceeded toward the enemy's posltton, tho main body swinging In from the west along tho road from Champlaln. It was then tho battle Btarted. Against tho 2000 of tho Red force, strongly In trenched, tho Blues proceeded as a skir mish lino consisting of a thin lino of men n yard apart, extending moro than a mllo from ono end to the other In a great semicircle. Supported by artillery and machine-gun tiro the lino eventually closed in. Tho battle finally ended with a bayonet charge of 2000 excited, shouting men, who wero stopped a few feet from tho trenches by tho whistles of the um pires. Tho wholo scene during the battle would havo brought joy to the heart of the most exacting militarist. The rifle flro was con tinuous for moro than nn hour, sputter ing up vigorously ns ono part of tho Blue lino moved forward in ono quarter, and being hotly answered by the return flro of th reslstlntr lied force. All tho while artillery boomed from various quarters and the barking machlno guns contributed their Bharo to tho general racket. No decision was rendered, it not being tho policy of tho umpires to breed nny spirit of competition In tho maneuvers. The umpires wero everywhere designated by whl to hat bands. At Intervals, after studying tho action, they would send word to ono officer or another to retire a certain amount of his forces as dead or wounded. Those men would then drop whero they were. The captured, and thero wero many of them, stufck ti piece ot green In their hats. Further, as a penalty for their lack of alertness, they had to sacrlfico all their tobacco to the capturing force. The citizens of Rouse's Point had the time of their lives. It Is not often that a spectator can witness a battle with personal safety guaranteed. Today tho Bluo army broke camp at Rouso's Point and proceeded In the direc tion of Moors, 12 miles away, where It It expected It will bivouac tonight ACCUSED MEN EAT EVIDENCE Suspected of Using "Dope," They Swallow Powders Two men, accused of drug-using, hastily swallowed whatever evidence there was against them when a policeman ap proached them shortly after midnight.
