More Get-Rich-Ouiek Frauds.

The United Commercial Company
and Pacific Funding and Security Com
pany. both Of San Francisco. have been
barred from the use of the mails for
operating a scheme whereby they claim
TO be able to give $160 IN exchange for
$50 paid at the ate of 81 a week. Rec
ords of the Postofice Department show
that the companies retained for their
own uses 20 cen of each payment OF
81, applying so cents toward redemp-
ton of contracts as they matured.
These contracts are numbered consec.
utively aud when the company had re-
ceived $3.50 from all contracts. the is
sued money was applied to the redempI
ton of the contract bearing the lowest
number. The Assistant Attorney
General for the Postoffice Department
thought in this case Peter paid Paul
and recommended that a fraud order be
issued against the concerns.

BALTIC FLEET DOOMED

Naval experts believe the Russian
Baltic fleet will never return to the
station from which it has so recently
started unless the Gar recalls it i'm.

tention they point put the fact that
some 5000 miles of sea stretch between
it and the ,waters~in which it could as

able to do anything for Port Arthur,
because Port Arthur will have fallen
before it can arrive.
We are takingit for granted that the
feet will get as far as Port Arthur,
which is entirely improbable, because
the japanese will meet it long before
it arrives there. And when the Japs
do meet that feet some ships are going
to the bottom, and they won't all be
Japanese ships. either. Numerically
the Japs are more than a match for the
Russians. and when it comes to handl-
ing the ships. there is absolutely no
comparison possible between them.
The Baltic feet contains seven battle
ships, two armored cruisers, I'VE pro-
tected cruisers, four unprotected cruis-
ers. and twelve destroyers. In addition
there are ten auxiliary cruisers, two re-
pair ships and several golfers. The
auxiliary and repair boats cannot, of

TWO MEN HURT
One Of Them a Visitor
From Cleveland.

Yesterday as the parade was pass
ing the corner of Tuscarawas and Wal
nut streets the horse ridden by w. H.
Dewey, one Of the Forester delegates
from Cleveland, slipped and fell on the
pavement and in it's struggle to regain
footing the rider was struck by the
horses hoofs and badly trampled. He
was knocked down and bis limbs
bruised severely so that it was neces-
sary to carry him to the Barnett hotel
where he received medical attention.
Later in the evening the injured man
was taken to the train so that he might
be conveyed to his home which is at
365 Kinsman street, Cleveland.
The horse which had inflicted such
painful injuries upon Mr.. Dewey, be-
came frightened and ran down to Rex
street where it struck Mr.. Dan Shaffer
knocking him to the ground in a state
of uneonsciousness. The Ailler-Blan-
chard ambulance carried the unfertlm-
ate man to the hospital. 1t WAS at
FIRST thought that Mr.. Skaters skull
had been Fractured, but upon examina-
ton 1t was learned that nothing more
serious than a painful scalp wound
had been inflicted.
