The case Of the Rev. L. d. Bass charged
with the improper use OF the mails in fur
theriug the interests OF the National
Teachers Agency of America. was up for
hearing today before Harrison J. Barrett.
Assistant Attorney General OF the Post
Office Department.
The point at issue in the case today was
whether the letters. circulars, etc, should
be excluded from the mails on the ground
that the Teachers Agency. of which Mr..
Bass is operator and manager. is. as al
legged, a scheme for obtaining money
fraudulently from would-be teachers in
search Of positions in schools and colleges.
The statement Of the charges against
Mr. Bass was read. containing numerous
allegations to the effect that the Teachers
Agency has been extensively advertised in
various parts Of the country. The charges
also allege that in advertisements and in
circulars sent to correspondents the state
ments are made that the agency pUrpOrts
to have Offices or branch offices Of registry
in the cities of Washington, New York,
Pittsburg Chicago, St. Louis. Denver. San
Francisco. New Orleans. and Toronto
Canada. II is further alleged that the facts
show that the agency never had Offices out
side Of Salisbury, Pa, and Washington, d..
c.
The allegations state further that repre-
sensations we're made to correspondents to
the effect that the agency had secured
thousands OF positions for teachers; that
il had at the time of issuing the circulars
5000 vacancies to fill. It is stated in the
J circulars that there were more vacancies
! than candidates to fill them, and strong
| inducements we're presented TO CORE
/ spondents to pay the registration fee In
/ the expectation Of receiving Information
| that would lead to the securing OF a po-
/ sition.
! The registration fee was 81 or 50. &C
| Cording to specified conditions OF registry
The defence of Mr.. Bass was presented
| by Attorney Martin. IL consisted of an affi-
/ davit or extended statement of the found
/ ing Of the Teachers Agency at SaltZburg,
| Pa, Of its removal to Washington, and OF
( its organization and operation. In the
course OF the recording OF the affidavit

oped that the agency was productive OF
positions to a certain percentage OF ap-
pIicants Mr.. Bass sought to show, and
did show. that his agency was In reality
working TO the end set forth in advertise
ments and circulars. The defence in the
whole was strong and made a good i'm
preston upon the postal authorities 10
the hearing.
After the reading OF the affidavit. Mr.
Bass who was present, was examined per-
sOnally. He stated in reply to a question
that he had had no offices outside Of Saltz-
burg. Pa, and Washington d. c. He ad-
mitted that he had no literature which
gave the address Of the Washington Of
fee. He admitted sending several thou
sands of circulars 20 Copeland, s c., and

was that he had a desire to assist the
postmasters at these points one Of which
was his mother. By the cancellation Of
the stamps. Mr. Bass admitted that a
considerable number Of his advertising
bills remained unpaid for lack Of funds
with which to meet them.
Assistant Attorney Barrett, after hearing
the evidence took the case under advise
ment and will render a decision later.
