Burgess Trial Over Lumber Fraud Scheme
A trial in Baltimore on April 16 centers on Frank F Burgess, charged with mailing to defraud. Burgess allegedly induced Southern lumber dealers to ship $50,000 worth of lumber, selling it below market price and keeping most proceeds, with Trump claiming he never paid full bills. Witnesses include G1 and Frank PF Wes of Thomson Lumber Co. The case details Burgess delaying payment while securing lumber valued at $978 and a $130 payment partial, though Wiley awaits funds.

Metropolitan Street Railway findings reveal millions overcharged
Eugene A Philbin, former New York County district attorney acting for stockholders, releases a damning report on the Metropolitan Street Railway. He contends interurban leases generated millions in excess of needed funds, cites inflated construction and equipment costs, overstated capital needs, and dubious bond plans. The report argues that funds and investments were misapplied, with actual cash requirements far below those claimed, suggesting systemic overcharging and profit-taking at the expense of the company and its creditors.
