RAFT OF FRAUD ORDERS.
Eight Concerns OF the Get.Ric1.Q Quick
Variety Put Out OF Business.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-Eght fraud
orders were issued at the Post Office De-
| partment to-day, creating record for the
Office Of the Assistant Attorney General for
the department. Not at any time In many
years has the fraud order division OF the
| department been kept so busy as during
the past few months. Turf investment
| companies, get-rich-quick concerns and
all kinds of lotteries have been put out Of
business under orders promulgated in
accordance with the fraud and lottery pro-
visions Of the postal laws.
The firms placed on the fraudulent list
to-day and who are thus deprived OF the
use Of the United States mails. are largely
of the cumulative credit variety. One or
two were Of the ordinary kind, and two
worked plans guaranteeing patrons q
present Of handsome diamonds at about
half the commercial value Of the precious
stones.
The scheme Of the Cumulative Credit
Company and 7. B Walk r Of Seattle, Wash.
the National Mercantile Company, the
Maturity Commission Corporation, and the
San Francisco Cooperative Mercantile Com
PAW were similar in many respects. These
firms, all OF which have headquarters In
San Francisco, sell a so-caled merchandise
contract, agreeing to deliver to the holder
an oroer for merchandise ranging in value
from about 500 to $500, in consideration OF
the payment Of small fee. Each contract
was numbered as issued to mature In numer-
ical order. The person making a contract
was entitled to receive an order for mer-
chandise when the amount in the re-
demption fund equalled a certain sum
and his contract was the lowest numbered
outstanding paid-up contract.
The Cumulative Credit Company formerly
had its headquarters at Los Angeles. This
Il the second fraud order that has been
issued against 1t.
The National Diamond Company and the
Golden Gate Mercantile Company both OF
San Francisco, were also declared to be
fraudulent. Their schemes were in the
nature Of a lottery, diamonds being offered
as prizes.
The Peoples Contract and Guaranty
Company, 927 Witherspoon Building, Phila-
delphia, which worked q cumulative credit
scheme similar to those Of the San Francisco
concerns, was also debarred the use Of the
mails, as was the LIE Roy Manufacturing
Company, Al journal Building, Boston,
which advertised for women to take in
sewing each applicant being required to
pay a small fee and do a sample job which
was generally declared to be unsatisfactory,
the firm retaining the fee This was de-
clared to be in violation Of law In an opin-
ion by the Assistant Attorney-G General.

WOULD BE A. SECOND KUBELIK
But Campighia's Fiddling Is Not Delight
to His NeighbOrs.

Since John B. Campighia, a violinist
went to live at lis East Ninety seventh
| street, some OF the tenants have not taken
kindly to his ambition to become a second
Kubelik, and Campighia's life has been
| anything but pleasant. He has visions OF
accomplishing wonderful things as vio-
linist. He has told his neighbors that a
man to become great as a virtuoso must
practise at least Ave hours a day. The
women folks In the house say that that
may all be. but they have no aspirations In
the musical line, and Campig hia's fiddling
has not appealed to them. The violinist
lives on the fourth floor Of the fathouse.
On the floor below lives Mrs. Josephine
Rheim, who has been the most out.
spoken Of the tenants In Directing to
his making music for them during the hours
of the day when she thinks more about
polishing up the pots and pans and attending
to her other household duties,
Mrs. Rheim told her neighbors that
II Campighia wanted TO become a great
fiddler, he should go into the country some
where and get house all by himself, where
without disturbing the peace Of those
around him. Such things. she said. were
all right for those who liked music Of that
kind but she didn't. Some OF the tenants
agreed with her, but they did not care
to make any fuss over it.
Mrs. Rheim started In by making saroas-
tic remarks about his fddling every time
he passed up and downstairs 80 he says.
She never let u chance go by to express
her disapproval. Matters kept up that
way for weeks. Every time the violinist
and Mrs Rheim met in the hallway, there
was regular fusiliade Of opinions from
both sides.
The violnist said that the woman's re-
marks became so annoying to him that u
began to tell on his nerves and last Friday
he went before Magistrate Flammer in the
Harlem court and got out a summons for
her to appear and show cause why size
should not stop Fostering him with her UNI
complimentary remarks about his playing
The Magistrate, on that occasion, told Mrs.
Rheim to 90 home and mind her own bust
ness He said she had better employ her
time to more profitable advantage than to
be quarrelling with her neighbors. He told
Campighia to keep on with his practising
and to pay no attention to her.
The violinist told Magistrate Baker in the
Harlem court yesterday that Mrs. Rheim
went home after she let the court last Friday
and got big crooked cane. With this she
laid in wait for him. She pounced out at
him. he said. as he was going up the stairs
and beat him numerically over the head
and shoulders with the cane. When he
tried to run away she took the crooked end
Of the stick and tripped him, so that he fell
on his head.
Campighia went to the court Saturday
and got warrant for the woman's arrest.
1t was given to one Of the court policemen
to serve, but Mrs. Rheim kept out Of the
way until yesterday, when she was ar
rested near her home. Magistrate Baker
told her that Campighia had q right TO
practice in his rooms MS as much as he pleased,
nuisance.
@She called me a fiddler, your Honor.

EYE BARS OR BRIDGE CABLES.
An Old Dispute Up Tomorrow With the
Likelihood OF Hot Time Over II.


The Municipal Art Commission will meet
Tomorrow afternoon to consider Bridge
Commissioner Best's now plans for the
superstructure Of the Manhattan Bridge,
The meeting is likely to be prolonged and
animated
When Commissioner Best went into Office
one Of the first things he did was to declare
that the plans drawn by Commissioner
Lindenthal for the use of eye bar cables.
on the bridge would be rejected and that
the original proposal to use wire cables.
according to the designs adopted by the
Van Wyck administration, would be re-
stored. The Art Commission last year
formally approved the eye bar system,
but when Commissioner Lindenthal sought
to get his appropriation through it was
defeated by the Tammany Aldermen.
The Art Commission is now in q peculiar
position. Mr. Best practically invites the
commission to reverse itself That will
help to make Thursdays meeting interest
ing.
The subcommittee of tho commission
which will report on the plans, 1t Is under
stood, will not undertake the responsibility
Of repudiating the new plan drawn by Mr..
Best, but will recommend that the whole
matter be referred to q special commission
Of expert engineers. Mr.. Best will oppose
this as unnecessary.

Chinese Ports or Departure.
WASHINGTON, Sept. la.-Commissioner
General Of immigration Sargent, in his
coming annual report will again urge upon
Congress an amendment to the existing
Chinese Exclusion laws, which will author
lie the appointment Of special officers Of
the Bureau to pass upon would-be Chinese
immigrants at the port of departure for
the United States.
At present the consular agents OF the
United States in China wise the certificates
which are necessary for the admission to
this country of Cinnamon, but their work
is often of perfunctory character, with
the result that many Of the immigrants
are detained upon arrival and often sent
back because of fraudulent or defective
papers,
As the consular agents are under the
control OF the Department OF State and
not amenable to the immigration authon-
ties, there appears to be no way Of remedy
ing the present methods Of certifcation.

Washington. - Immediately after

chard charged the jury in the postal
cases.
After being out forty minutes the
jury sent for what Justice Pritchard
characterizes as a remarkable and
most unusual request. They desired
the account book IF osplse 2. Ls.s,.-,
the note Tor Szo,uUO, all drafts, cnecKs,
warrants and statements of each OF
the defendants, as well as the papers
in his charge. His counsel said that
to comply with the request in its en-
tirety would amount to re-trial In
the case. The jury was sent for and
Justice Pritchard informed them he
had decided, with the consent of coun-
sci, to let them have the note and ac-
count book Of Lorenz and such papers
as bore ON the note transaction. He
said it was not customary to send ev-
idence to the jury-room, as the jury
are presumed to have heard the evil
dence and understood the same. II
they were in doubt about any part of
it., he said he would read, as also
would he give them information on
any point Of law in WHICH they were
in doubt. The jury then returned to
the jury-room.
