MAIL ORDER FRAUDS.
Clever Schemes for Bleeding Gulli-
Bile Newspaper Readers.
Post once Bureau of Inspection Kept
Busy Investigating All Sorts of
Dishonest and AlIur-
ing "Ads."
Especial Chicago Letter.l


T>HE alleged frauds in the post of
fee department now being aired
at Washington are supposed to
nvolee hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. The whole country was surprised
when the enormous sum-$10, 900 here,
$4,000 there-were mentioned as frac-
tions in the supposed corruption fund.
Yet this is but IA bagatelle compared
with the simply gigantic frauds inves-
tigated every year by the inspection of
Uncle Sans mail.
Swindles aggregat!ng $15,000,ooo to
$20,000,0 600 are unearthed every year by
the post Office inspectors, and proven
in court. Thefts by letter carriers or
post office clerks constitute only a
small portion of this. The greater part
of the frauds is perpetrated by So
called business men, who use the mails
for schemes that draw the dollars out
of the pockets of gullible folks month
after month, year after year, by the
same old schemes.
A corps of 200 inspectors, as species
of special detectives, is employed all
over the country hunting down these
swindlers.
The post Office bureau of inspection
has Is divisions. BY far the largest of
these has its headquarters at Chicago.
Col. Stuart, inspector general here, has
30 inspectors under him and investi-
gated last year 10000 cases of alleged
frauds. New York city, the second
largest, had 10000 cases, handled by 16
inspectors. The enormous work of the
Chicago department is due partly to
the fact that the city handles more
mail than any other.
1--WE closed up the business of thou
sands of swindlers right around Chi
cago last year." said Chief Clerk r. j,
Holmes, of the Chicago department.
"It is no exaggeration to say that the
Ewindlers got several million dollars
out of the pockets of the people"
1t is also no exaggeration to say that
the swindles are going on at this very
minute to the amount of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Fake" oil COM
panies investment schemes, "sure ten
per cent" propositions, etc, etc, are
being advertised in the papers and are
dour;shing more than ever. The post

lad" THAT CAUGHT THOUSANDS.

the thousands. OF course he pays the
interest out of the capital. When he
has accumulated enough the crash
comes. The financier disappears, the
money is gone.
Fully $5OO,OO0 was sent to Chicago
in the last 12 months in get-rich-quick
schemes of this character. The VIC
tins have been of all classes, city peo-
pie no less than villagers and farmers,
women as we'll as men, rich and poor
alike.
Land and improvement swindles are
being worked to-day on an enormous
scale. Do you remember the U. S.
Land Co.? We hunted that scheme
down and punished it. This company
owned some practically worthless land
in Tennessee, way up in the noun
tains, where we could hardly get at it.
The fake oil, rubber and gold-mining
companies have secured millions-yes,
millions of dollars-for land not worth
a dollar an acre.
Lottery and gambling schemes are
brought to our notice month after
month. There are hundreds of thou
sands of people ready to give up their
cash again and again when a lottery
of some kind is advertised, and we
can't always nip these fakes in the
bud"
In the last year something has been
done to put stop to ''divine healing"
absent treatment by mail and one of
the most successful quacks in the lot
Francis Truth, of Boston,-who it was
said was doing a business of 100000
a week, was stopped by the law. Mean
while others who do only $4,000 a
month continue to flourish, and by a
court decision recently made, nothing
can be done to prevent people sending

office inspector gets some of them into
court and prosecutes. Occasionally
the federal court sends culprit to the
penitentiary, but the majority of them
escape in the fines that do not repre-
sent ten per cent. of the money they
have made in their schemes.
Here's an advertisements:
YOUR LIES FATE in love, business
and marriage, Photo of future husband or
cents and birth date.
This is the advertisement, with the
name omitted, as it appeared this
week in many of the mail order pa pers.
l Ishowed the clipping to an employe of
the Chicago bureau of post office in
spection.
''Is this fraud or isn't it?".I asked.
"That remains to be proven" twas the
calm reply. "The way to do is to send
the ten cents in reply to the ad and then
file your complaint here if you think
you have been defrauded."
"Will you prosecute them?"
The explanation was that it required
five such complaints to establish one
cause for an investigation. And finally
the official came out with the bold
statements:
"These ten-cent schemes don't
amount to much" he said. "We are
tremendously busy here on big cases,
trying to put stop to thousand-dol-
lar swindles. Better save your ten
cents by not writing for the photo of
your future wife"
The task of the post Office inspec-
ters is indeed very difficult one and
the path to prosecution is more than
devious. A strict law prevents the
opening of any private mail by in
spectors or others. No matter how
certain the government may be that a
firm is swindling, letters are not
tampered with under any circum-
stances. So the inspectors must re-
sort to many tricks to get proof
Sometimes they go out into the
country, and send in their money To
the fraudulent firms until they have
enough letters to establish positive
proof. If the swindlers get an ink

their schemes and throw the inspec-

in the guise of stenoPraphers to get
evidence. Sometimes the detectives
themselves get positions in firm
suspected of frauds. Many other
methods, / know, are used, but the
post Office department is very secre
tive. Their inspectors work more
quietly than any other detectives

their money by mail to be cured by any
process they choose.
Have you seen in recent issues of a
Chicago mail order paper an advertise
ment of a magic gold dip needle that
finds hidden treasures for ten cents?
Possibly thisreminds one of the "lucky
box" scheme of Lynn, Mass. Francis
Parker manufactured little wooden
box with brass ring in which were
stamped three stars. 1t cost him from
one to five cents, and he sold it for 90
cents. Everybody who bought the box
became lucky, said Parker's advertise
ments; zone broker made $4,000 in
one hour after buying the lucky box;
a spinster won lover; a woman was
cured of rheumatism; gentleman mob
bled in on crutches; get box; walked
off with crutches under his arm"
The advertisements ran in glarine
headlines, and nobody interfered with
Parker's business until the authorities
noticed his enormous mail. When the
post Office inspector appeared at the
lucky box factory Parker fed. Twenty
seven thousand letters were waiting
for him. at the Boston post Office with
1000 money orders that day.

"T'he biggest frauds by all odds have

such an old scheme, but it is always
being worked again. The plan is very
simple-the same as in the case of the
notorious Franklin syndicate in the
east. Some 'con-man' starts to adver-
tise that he will pay enormous profits
on investments-two, three, five or ten
per cents a week. When the suckers
begin to send their money, he actually
pays out the dividends. A man may
send 500 and before long he has 5000
back. He tells his friends, and they tell
others. Pretty soon the money rolls

for many years. The pain in my back
became worse and worse until it was
daily burden that interfered with every
duty. / was much afflicted with head
aches and dizzy spells and was unable
to rest well nights. In May 1902 after
using Doan's Kidney Pills l made a
statement for publication declaring
that they had entirely relieved me of
the pain in my back. Ihave since then
had years time in which to study the
effects of the medicine, and while
have had slight touches ofsthe trouble
since, the use of the pills has always
driven away all signs of the disorder
and l have become convinced of the
fact that the first treatment was prac-
tically permanent in it's effects, and 1
know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
kept on hand is a sufficient guarantee
against any suffering from the kidneys
or back. 1 should advise every sufferer
to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and Iknow
that they will be surprised and pleased
with the result"

A peculiar interest attaches to the words
of Senator Villari in a recent address before
the king and queen of Italy at the opening of

United States, saying among other things
that Europe was shut in between her on the
west and Russia on the east. These two
forces, he added, Russia and the United
