Going Alter Petty Thieves and Dspsedatof,

In our ueighborhood notes this week
II will be noted tha, the Central City
council is devising ways and means for
the apprehension and punishment Of
parties guilty of depfedaiions or thievery
at shaft houses in that section. Central
City is not alone in having people Who

Racing Tipsters and Turf investors
Are Under investigation.
Washington, March 31.-InspectOrs
of the postofilce department. working
under the direction of Acting Assis-
tant Attorney General Christiancy, are
investigating the methods of several
firms of racing tipsters and turf in
vestors. that have been doing a big
business all over the country, and
particularly in Washington, since the
opening Of the spring meeting at en-
nings.
Neither the department officials nor
District Attorney Beach, who has
been called into consultation with a
view to possible legal action in the
District of Columbia against the firms
under investigation is optimistic with
regard to a possible ...

of any of the several concerns. 1t has
been stated at the department on
many occasions that the present lot
terry and fraud laws were entirely in
adequate to cover the selling Of rae
ing tips or the ordinary turf invest
ment scheme.
The postofiice department has al
ready on one or more occasions given
its attention to at least one of the
firms now under investigation, but 1t
was found that the business was con-

lay as sufficient ground for the issu-
ance OF fraud order. Mr. Christiancy
consulted with District Attorney
Beach several days ago and a postof-
nee inspector was put to work on the
case. A cursory examination deVel-
open the astonishing fact that nearly
1000 letters were being received
daily at the Washington office of one
or the firms alone, and the officials,
realizing the enormous proportions to
which the sale of racing tips had
grown, resolved to go as deeply as
possible into the matter to discover,
first, whether the various companies
