RECOMMENDS FRAUD ORDERS.
Opinions Rendered by Assistant At
torney General Robb.

Assistant Attorney General Charles II.
Robb Of the Post ONCE Department. has
recommended that fraud orders be issued
against the following companies for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes: The Mis-
souri, Drug Company OF st. Louis. the Royal
Hungarian lottery of Budapest, Hungary,
the Cumulative Credit Company Of Los An
geles. Cal, the New England Agency Of
Employment OF lynn. Mass. and the In
come Guaranty Association Of Seattle.
Wash. sa
The Cumulative Credit Company and
the Income Guaranty Association worked
credit certificates and paying into the
home office 81 q week. These contracts
were numbered and matured In sequence.
The department directed the former COM
pany to show cause some time ago why
1t should not be disbarred from using the
mails. and 1t promised to discontinue the
lottery feature in connection with the
contracts.
1t failed to do this, however, and the
assistant attorney general has therefore
recommended that the order issue.
The New England Agency of Employ.
ment had advertised extensively that 1t
could obtain places for all classes OF labor
at the st. Louis exposition, and promised
to provide transportation facilities to all
Tor whom it secured positions The busi-
ness OF the company was investigated, and,
according to the report and recommended
ton, 1t was found that the company had no
connection with the exposition. had adver-
tised for positions but once in st. Louis
paper. and had not even obtained any
answers to that.
An official of the company admitted that
1t had no means of securing transportation
for those who answered the advertisements
of the company and who paid the percent
age asked. o.
The Missouri Drug Company is a corpor-
alton doing business in st. Louis. The
department some time since demanded that
the company refrain from carrying on a
business in so-called vitality pills" and
the company promised to drop that part of
Its business. Since. then, however. it Is al
legged that the company has been conduct
ing such a business In the same way as
heretofore, and accordingly the order has
been issued against its use of the mails in
this connection
