THE PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
THEIR NAME IS LEGION, AND
THEY WATCH ALL CLASSES
OF BUSINESS EMPLOYEES.
Some Clever Schemes for Swindling
Firms and Corporations-Sharp
Who Make a Regular Business of
Getting Damages.

In no other country in the world, are
so many private detectives employed
as in the United States.
Every great corporation has it's staff
Of secret service" men, many of them
recruited from the detective forces Of
European countries.
The chief occupation of these COM
mercial detectives is to protect the
various institutions they represent
from the depredations of professional
swindlers of all kinds.
These crooks" are a formidable
army. Groups of them travel from city
to city, connecting and carrying out
frauds of all kinds, aided in their ne
farious plans by "shady" lawyers, ply
sicians, and even, at times, by the en-
ployes of the corporations which they
seek to victimize.
Insurance companies are the favorite
prey Of this robber bands.
OF one audacious swindler, who was
recently brought to justice, it is stated
that assisted by his confederates, he
defrauded seven different accident In
surance companies Of sums aggregat-
ing some $4,000.
Had he varied his method, 1t is quite
likely this particular "crook" would
still be reaping golden harvest. But
he repeated his device too often.
His trick consisted in slipping on
a piece Of soap while taking bath,
and sustaining Severe internal in.
juries." He always had a doctor COT
course, confederate) to testify to
the serious nature of his accident; but,
although the trick in itself was diff.
cult of detection, a constant repetition
Of it naturally awakened suspicion,
and led to the downfall of the Swindler.
Some Of the sharps pose as mechan-
ics and prey upon employers Of labor,
their method being to pretend to sus-
tain some injury in the course of their
work. Aided by shyster doctors and
lawyers they bring actions for dam.
ages. Sometimes by taking out acct
dent insurance policies, they contrive
TO gain a double share of plumber.
Railway companies are victimized
in much the same fashion-that is to
say, by bogus claims for injuries and
accidents. In these cases the frauds
are generally more elaborate, involving
not only the services Of dishonest
doctors and lawyers, but the testimony
of witnesses paid to perjure them
selves
OF one group Of railway sharpers
the ringleaders Of which were brought
to justice. it came out in the evidence
that they made more than 5000
year by their practices.
A real railway accident, especially one
OF any magnitude, is perfect wind
fall to some Of these rogues, If they are
anywhere in the vicinity.
Taking advantage of the confusion
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-03-03

and excitement, they make their ap
pearance among the injured. TheiI
injuries" are generally, OF course,
of an internal nature, and, uttering
heartrending groans, they are carried
off to be attended, if possible, by some
medical accomplice.
Now and again the conductors OF
trains are in league with the sharpers,
which,, Of course, greatly facilitates the
frauds. Indeed, it is said that railway
accidents such as small collisions,
have been deliberately brought about
by conspiracies of this kind.
One particular "crook" made large
sums by conspiring with conductors
to push him off the train when it was
profitable crop of permanent injuries
to the spine," for which the railway
companies had to pay smartly.
So numerous and so astute have the
American detectives become or late
years, however, that such frauds have
become increasingly difficult.
The suppression of malpractices OF
this kind is, as stated, the principal
work of the great army of commercial
detectives, many of whom are appar.
emily ordinary citizens, or even work
ers-known as plain clothes men,"
Among their minor functions is the
watching of suspected employees
especially those Of banks and great
financial houses.
Any tendency to extravagant habits
or irregular living on the part Of en-
ploygs Is noted and reported upon by
these unsupported watchers. Others
there are Who, in the guise Of clerks
and laborers. secretly note any ten
denotes to disloyalty or discomfort. In
this way approaching strikes are de-
tected, and, oftentimes, nipped In the
bud.

he was very proud when he acquired
half interest in feed and machinery
establishment. All this time however,
he kept studying at night to gain an
education, and to achieve something
better than an anxious interest in the
market price of oats. The good mother
who looks down upon him in the Sen
ate can recall with much pride the
struggles of the son to better his place
in the world and she did her part to
help him. He went into politics and
was elected county auditor before he
was 80. This is always the best Office
in any courthouse and gave the young
man a start not only in politics but
in business. His activity and shrewd-
ness in local elections led to his Sc
lection in 1892 as chairman of the
state executive committee. He won
the election by such small majority
that there was no glory in It, but the
following year he managed the second
election Of Mckinley as Governor with
splendid results. Later he went to
Congress from the old Garfield dis
trict and when Hanna died, came to
the senate by unanimous vote.
Mrs. Dick is Of fine appearance, not
yet 20 and remains calmly complacent
over the romantic career Of her son
who may yet achieve still higher
honors.
