works line.
We're after Nelson now" says
T, -harles Il have an idea that Moran
y in beat him, and the little fellow
IS chuck full of confidence. It isn't
that we think Nelson has gone back
We are figuring on the basis of the
Nelson -Attell fight a couple Of years
ago, when Nelson was undoubtedly at
his best. Attell carried the fight to
Nelson for six rounds, and hit him
wherever he pleased. It's true that
Attell was tired out at the end Of the
sixth, but he wasn't in training. He
went in off the reel. Moran is stronger
than Attell, anyway and can hit
harder"

POSTOFFICE NIPS
A SALARY SCHEME
Issues Fraud Order Against
a Proposition Which
Reads Good.

People continue 10 bite at advertise
ments that promise "a weekly salary,
experience unnecessary" and the POST
ONCE Department is kept busy stamping
cut the frauds.
One OF the latest schemers TO run up
against q fraud order is Thomas J..
Duffy doing business as the National
Illustrated View Company, and the Eros
Manufacturing Company, Of / West
Thirty-fourth street, New York city.
According to the postoffice inspectors
report on which the fraud order was
issued, Duffy advertised ia the news
papers that he wanted men 70 work at
home, making prints; no experience
necessary. and for making the prints
they would be paid SIS per week.
Those who wrote for particulars were
informed that they must buy an out
fit for S1.75, and for making 800 prints
they would get a weekly salary Of SO.
The investigation made by the inspec-
tor showed thst the S1.75 outfit only had
enough material to make twenty-four
prints, and to make the other 276 prints
the employee must purchase the material
from Duffy, IN addition 10 the paper.
which could be obtained nowhere else.
Ary one who tried TO get the SIS had
to spend with the company about 81.
DUFFY could not show that he had paid
any one SIS as he advertised 70 do.
