Selling Gold Bricks
in Dear "Ole Lunn0n."
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

Special Correspondence OF Inc star
LONDON, October IL. 1908.
THIS city is the happy hunting ground
al the present moment for the
= gold brick swindler. Despite the
fact that this form of confidence game
has had worldwide notoriety, and has
been explained and revealed times without
number, it still proves effective in many
cases. and the criminal investigation de-
nartment of Scotland Yard, alarmed at
the activity of the confidence men," has
issued a warning in the following terms:
a fraud, commonly known as the gold
brick swindle. is still rife, and finds ready
victims in this country, in spite of the
notices which have been issued.
1.-The scheme seldom varies, and usually
begins with letter, addressed to some
person of property and lately deceased
SO that the letter may fall into the hands
of the executors-expressing gratitude for
past kindnesses. and stating that the writ
er has made a valuable discovery Of
gold and desires to share his good for
ture with his benefactor.
This leads to correspondence between
the swindlars and the relatives or eXecu-
tors of the deceased and ultimatly. if the
story is believed to the dispatch of me-
senger, usually to America to receive the
bullion found.
when this stage is reached. a de-
mand for money is. on some pretext or
other sprung upon the victim, who in the
end is generally fieeced to a very consider
able amount by the production of what
appears to be bars or bricks OF
solid gold.
The majority of the crooks who are
reapiag golden harvest by this anti
quated method hail from the United
States, having of recent years found
Reuben of the Tall Grass" fully alive TO
his tricks Here. the most of his victims
come from Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa. The native-born English
man seldom bites.
Scotland Yard is experiencing great diff
Guilty in rounding up these transatlantic
crooks. After each haul they scatter to
the four winds and being new on the
ground and strangers to the London de-
tectives, there is little chance of the lat
ter being able to locate them by their
methods Of work So prevalent has this
means of fleeing become in England that
Scotland Yard is seriously considering the
plan OF posting up its warning in each
hotel room side by side with that hoary
antiquity, DO not blow out the gas

sias plan for judicial and financial re
forms In that country, and the Brit
ish and Russian notes regarding Mace
donia will be treated by Germany as a
whole. The British communication has
been received here but Russia is de
layed This play is thought to be the
consequence of certain unsettled die
ferences between Great Britain and
Russia It is presumed, however, that
the Russian suggestions will be re-
ceived shortly.
Germany's reply to these communi
cations will he drawn up after consul
tation with Austria-Hungary and il is
said here that the two empires vii
adopt Identical attitudes. In view OF
these circumstances thtre is reason
to believe that a prolonged aud pos

GETS A BOOST
MEETING IN CHICAGO GIVES I'M.
PETUS TO HOME RULE MOVE.
MENT IN OLD COUNTRY
KING EDWARD HOME RULER.

! Chicago, July 14,-Ireland's cause
now gaining in England, will receive
a new impulse in the United States a:
result of meeting held here this
week by the Irish societies, with mem
bership in every state of the union
to do honor to the memory of John f.
Finerty In his youth the late presi,
dent of the United Irish League OF
/ America was driven out of ireland and
his zeal in the Irish nationalist cause
was unceaslng through his eventful
life. The invitation to send repre-.
sentatives to the memorial meeting
met with a response from the Irish
Fellowship Club, Irish Nationalists,
Gaelic Society, Gaelic League, Ancient
order of Hibernians, Ladies' Auxiliary
Of the A. O. H., knights of Equity,
Irish Choral Society, Gaelic Athletic
Association, South Chicago Irish His
torical Society, Old Guard of the Fen
ian Brotherhood and various posts of
the G. A. R.-for Colonel Finerty
fought well in the Civil War. During
his lifetime Colonel Fincrty held more
posts of honor in connection with the
movement for Irish liberty than any
other man in America. Glowing trib.
utes were paid to his efforts and the
prediction was made that within fvc
years the fight for political freedom
would be ended and Ireland would be
enjoying home rule. In support OF
this, attention was called to recent
statements by Honorable Timothy
Harrington, member of parliament
from Dublin, and others to the effect
that the present lord lieutenant, the
Earl of Aberdeen, favored the move
ment and that King Edward himself
was at heart a home ruler and would
welcome the change. James Bryce
now British ambassador to this coun
try, was outspoken in his sympathy at
various times during his political ca
reer and it is expected that the lib
eral party. now in power, will be
forced shortly TO fulfill its pledges and
give Ireland the rights she has dc.
manded for so many years.
