October IA, 1923, and came to Washington
in 1870, at the instance of Gen. n. II. Ord

Shad have within the past day or two

vicinity of this city in considerable num-
bers. and the fishermen operating drift nets

small net caught fifteen fine shad on one

operated by Lindsey & Heron, shad were
caught for the first time the latter part of

seine used there Saturday last 500 shad
were captured.
The season so far has been very back
ward, but the fishermen are looking for
large catches from now on, particularly If
the wea Their remains bright and warm The
catch of herring so far this season has been
very light compared with previous years,
when boys with hooks on lines could whip
them through the water and catch herring

DENIED USE OF THE MAILS.
Fraud Order Against Lost Bullion
Spanish Mines Company.

A romantic and profitable story about a
lots Spanish mine, fabulously rich in gold,
which has been used. it is said. to great ad-
vantage by the so-called Lost Bullion Span
ish Mines Company and c. l.. Blackman &
Co.. of Denver, Col, has been declared to
be no more than a beautiful myth by the
Post Office Department. 1t was announced
today that the Postmaster General signed
an order Friday prohibiting the use of the
mails to these concerns and to their officers
and agents as such. Among those who are
mentioned as owners of the alleged worth
less stock are number of Baltimore men.
The Lost Bullion Spanish Mines Company
was Incorporated under the laws of Arizona,
November 10, 1906 Its literature described
its property in Grant county, New Mexico,
as an ancient mine worked by the Span
iards and abandoned and sealed up by
them on account of the ravages of Indians.
The mine was discovered by an old pros
pector and bought by the company. ac-
cording to the circulars. There is gold to
burn in it, it was alleged.
A pretty thorough investigation of the
property and of the various stories concern
ing it was made by Post Office Department
inspectors. with the result that they have
declared the mine to be nothing but an
old cave, practically worthless
The authorized capital stock of the COM
pany. according to the literature, is $40
EG0W'1, the par value of the shares being
81. Large quantities of the stock We're sold
at low figure, it is said, to persons ali
over the country
Before the fraud order was issued hear
ing granted to representatives of the
company at the department. and there were
present several men from Baltimore, who
claimed to be stockholders. The Baltl-
nloreans took no part in the hearing. The
postal authorities were not satisfied with
the side of the case put forth by the COM
pany : representatives., and decided to put
a stop to the business, as far as the United
States mails are concerned.

otherwise would have saved nothing. He
said this year it was hoped to greatly in
crease. the amount collected and the num-
Der of families canvassed.

them easily and intimately into touch with
conditions and needs in the neglected neigh
borhoods of Washington and leads them
to increased. intelligent interest in all
movements for civic betterment. He told
the story of one small church whose pastor

cation as the fact that number of the
church members had been enlisted through
the Associated Charities in volunteer per-
sonal service to needy families. Mr. Wei
Ter invited all the people present to attend
