AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION
OF THE POSTMASTER OFNFRAI
By Cea- JAMES n. TYNER,
tzaat Attoney GeasIaI for The Postofce Deparrnent

n RoBABLK one Of the most i'm
portaR5 duties corrected with
the off5ee OF the -.zz:stant At
torney General for TIE Postof5ce De
partment IS the hearing and prep
aration of cases relating to the mis-
use of the mails under the law au-
thorizing the issuance of Fraud Or
ders--the net Of September 1e, 1920,
as amended by the ACT of March ?.
1895. While this act was conceived
with the object of simply preventing
the use of the mails in the promoz
ton Of lotteries and schemes devised
for obtaining money under false or
fraudulent pretenses, representa-
lions. and promises, one OF the con-
sequences of n Fraud Order" is the
destruction OF all business operated
through the mails under the name
against whom the order is issued,
and II frequently happens that per
SON or concern Is operating both
legitimate and an Illegal business IN
der the same name.
II Is however III t5DSs4DlC ~ 81 par
ate the two. Realizing the severity
of a .Fraud Order" on the person
against whom IT is issued and the ex-
tent of the power thus put into the
hands Of the Postmaster General,
ana by regulation intFusted to the
Office Of the Assistant attorney Gen
cral for the Postoffiee Department,
whenever possible, If a prima facie
case is presented against the accused

this Office and show cause why such

While some do not accept the OPP

OF the order. In some cases the hear

~Fraud Order" should not be issued.
IN fifteen cases relating TO foreign
lotteries which were plainly lotteries
upon the face Of the literature trans
mitted through the mails. no such
calls were made, it being impractical
bic. During the fiscal year forfy-tzvo
Fraud Orders" were issued against
persons or concerns operating
schemes devised for fraudulent pur-
poses, four against lotteries operated
IN this country, one against a bond
investment company, which was a
combination fraud and lottery con-
eern, and fifteen against foreign lot
teries- OF the sixty-tyvo Fraud Or
ders" thus issued, four were subse-
quently revoked on evidence that the
schemes against which they were di-
reeted had run their course, and that
no more mail was coming o the ad-
dresses named in the orders.
IL addition TO the cases of alleged
fraud disposed of in this manner.
large numbers of complaints which
are sent TO the inspectors division
under the Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General are referred to this Of
fee, with reports from inspectors
after investigation of their opera
tons These are carefully reviewed,
and when evidence does not estab-
ish Z prima facie case of fraud, the
papers are returned with request to
further investigate, or with instruc-
ton to close same The number of
cases thus handled by the Assistant
Attorney General for the Postoffice
Department can only be approx
mated. There are between 1000 and
I.800.
While a record is kept showing cor
respondence with the Department Of
Justice on prosecutions and suits
arising out Of the postal service, it is
not in such statistical form that ]
can cite the number of cases, as the
force of the Office is so constantly
occupied with more important work
that records thereof cannot be read
ily kept.

THE WRONG PHONE.

William H Crane recently played in
Portland, Ne. says the New York Tri-
bune." He did not stay at one Of the hO-
tells, a fact that one OF his friends became
cognizant Of in an embarrassing manner.
This friend first called up the Falmouth
Hotel, and, the actor not being there, he
then. as he supposed, called up the Con
gress Hall Hotel The following CONVEX
sation ensued:
Is Mr.. William H. Crane staying
tbere?"
NO: ne is not" was the response.
Wen, has he engaged rooms? - was the
,aext query.
NO: he hasn't" came the reply I'VE
don't reserve rooms here First come,
first served, is our rule"
Cranes friend thought this rather airy
on the part of the hotel clerk. as he sup
posed, but. restraining his anger, he tried
another question:
DO you know whether he VIII stay with
you when in Portland?" was the form it
took.
q really can't say came the telephone
communication. but it's perfectly posi-
bic that he will
Cranes friend at this grew irate, and
being man OF substance in the comnuni
ty- asked If the other knew who he was.
and at the same time gave his name and
coupled with 1t request that the other
ascertain If Mr.. Crane was TO come TO that
particular hotel
Whom do you think you're talking to -
was the Yankee-like query that his ques-
tisDing brought forth.
why, the Congress Hall Hotel, to be
sure" was the reply.
Not at all. This is the county Jail"
Fejoined the other. as he hastily hung up
the receiver in order to escape from pro-
fame comment.

among children, and that it is in some

THE GREAT PADEREwSKI

Paderewski is coming back again for just a concert or two and the presenta ton of "Manru;" and in one way or an- other we are constantly reminded of the fascinating phases of his Individuality. He is adored in his native land, idoliZed in England and America, and triumph ant in Germany; has been ennobled by the sovereign of Italy, and was able to compel the recognition and admiration of Russia, which, on account of his na tionality, might have been presumed antagonistic.
 Paderewski will give one recital at the Hyperion. on Tuesday night, February 4. Seats on sale Thursday. Prices s2, $l50 and $1.

A BLOODY ROW ON FAIR STREET
A Fighting Crowd Made Excitement
 There Saturday Night

A Fighting Crowd Made Excitement
 There Saturday Night. A bar room fight among Italians at Frank Murphy's saloon at S7 Union street came near resulting in mur- der Saturday night but Pasquale De Martino the wofst used up victim who, it was feared Saturday night, would die was reported at the New Haven hos pital last night as getting better and out of danger.
 The affair happened about 10 o'clock Saturday night when the saloon was filled with imbibers. Anastaslo Marino and De Martina became involved in row while standing at the bar and started the fight, Some blows were struck but no one was seriously injured and De Martino left the place. About an hour later he returned and renewed the fight. in the renewal he struck Ma rino with a beer bottle. This opened the ball again and some beer bottles and other loose articles were flying about promiscuously. Then Proprietor Murphy to stop the row jumped over the bar flourishing a revolver and the crowd broke from the door and scat tered.
 Soon after Marine was found across the street badly injured and weak from loss of blood. His right ear was nearly severed and he was otherwise cut and bruised.
 Sergeant Williams and Patrolmen s. Smith and Cohee went to the saloon and found there Murphy, the proprie- tor and De Martino, the latter stag gering about and bleeding from bad cuts on the head. He was sent to the hospital. Murphy and Marine were ar rested and locked up on breach of the peace charges.
