Resumption orthe Directory SwIndic
II Costing Merchnnfs nenrix

The Federal authorities are inyestieat
ing a number Of complaints regarding
the resumption Of the directory swindle,
which is alleged to have resulted In
renewing many business men Of hum
dreds OF thousands Of dollars Some Of
the persons who have robbed the bust
ness community by this scheme are al
ready In Jail, while others are still at
large. The form Of swindling includes
forgery OF daring kind. and has assumed
such q form as to enable the Federal
authorities to act in the matter, and
the facts have been laid before United
states District Attorney Wallace Nc
Farlane
The procedure adopted generally by
the swinders Is for q man to enter the
once Of large concern whose trans
actions are extensive, and, presenting n
thick. heavily bound book, say:
Last year you gave us your advertise
ment for the consideration Of 81 for
display, and we are anxious to have
you repeat your order in the new edition
we are getting OUT
Ihe advertisement is shown to the mer-
chant and as the price is placed at a
small amount he does not hesitate to say
All right; put us down again.
He Is requested to either sign a re-
celpt that he has paid the amount de-
manded or q contract that he will nav
the amount when the publication is
completed. The contract reads limo
Gently enough and he has no hesitancy
when the man declares that it Will be an
assurance to his employers. In case the
merchant has paid the dollar in ques-
ton, to give him q voucher for It,
That ends the merchants experience
for the time being, but soon he is SEN
stble that the demands upon his cash
Ter are becoming excessive for payments
on advertising contracts. and he begins
to ask questions. He finds the con-
tracts which unquestionably bear the
iirms name are being paid in amounts
ranging from $40 to 500, and that there
does not seem to be any end to them.
When the merchant signs his name
to any one Of the contracts or acknowl-
| edgments prepared by the representa-
| tive of the swindlers he gives into their
| possession the means Of pursuing their
systematic operations The contracts
which are reproduced in fac smile.
show how simple the operation Is. By
means of ciphers the original receipts
may be turned easily into a promise to
pay, and by the use Of acids the entire
form Of contract may be altered so that
any amount the swindlers may desire
to have the merchant pay may be sub
stituted
