ALLEGED SWINOLER
FACES new CHARGE
Man Who Posed as Navy Cap
tain Jailed on Failure to
Give Bail

Showing no signs OF worry over the
Indictment pending against him for
two years, Howard X. Glover, accused
OF impersonating a United States navy
captain, walked into the United States
district court yesterday morning to
answer a new count that the federal
grand jury recently added to the old
charge. The governments new con-
tention runs TO the effect that Glover,
by means of the navy officer pose.
swindled the local frm of Telymann
& Torka. He was given a week by
Judge de Haven in which to answer
the additional charge.
According 10 the mass of evidence
against Glover collected by the secret
service, he has had more enterprises
in his 40 years of life than any other
man with whom the sleuths are ac-
quainted. Ner has he confined him
self entirely to fake" business
schemes. Dan Cupid has figured in his
checkered life. 1t was for his love
that Lily Peters disappeared two years
ago from her home in this city, being
located later in Los Angeles, where she
had been kept in hiding by Glover.
He claimed TO own pearl fisheries in
southern seas. and on the possibilities
OF these holdings Francis Ormond, a
wealthy Englishman, invested more
than $50 600 with no returns.
II was on his alleged fake trans
actions with Ormond that Glover was
indicted and taken to Los Angeles
for trial two years ago. When the
case was called il was found that Or
mond had returped to Europe and
would not return to the United States
TO prosecute. During this time the
federal authorities held a second in
dictment against Glover. This one
was returned for an alleged swindle
perpetrated here, and when the Or
mond case was dismissed Glover was
taken into custody on the second in
dietment. Since that time Glover has
been out on bonds
The court yesterday added $500 to
the old bond. and as Glover was unable
10 secure the amount he was taken to
the Alameda county Jail

effect taxed by means of the higher
surety premium in consequence of the
legalized vice.
Guaranteeing the honesty of en-
ployes is the business of a surety COM
pany, in which it engages. not because
of any. philanthropical or altruistic
consideration. but to make legitimate
profit Whatever tends to make men
thieves and defaulters assails its
profits and Injuries its business. Race
track gambling was as dangerous a
menace to surety companies as small
pox is to the public health Its prev
alence meant losses and those losses
We're in part necessarily transferred to
all who had to give surety bonds. so
that men who abhorred racetrack
gambling were taxed. to the extent of
the increase in their premium. because
of the existence of the very evil they
themselves summed and hated.
This particular surety company says
In its advertisement: More default
ers and thieves are made by gambling
than any other evil" One form of pub
lie gambling, that on horse racing. is
about to cease under the laws COM
pulsion. In consequence the surety
rates are lowered to correspond
with the decreased risk, and all in
surers get the benefit of the reduction.

ANTI-RACE BILL CAUSES
DROP IN BONDING RATE
Surety Company Lowers Cost at
Gambling Prohibition

How great and destructive part
legalized gambling played in the bust
ness life of California is clearly ex-
hibited by an advertisement recently
published in local newspapers. The
National surety company of New York
announced: Since the passage of the
racetrack gambling bill this company
has issued new rates for guaranteeing
the honesty of employees of all kinds in
California"
Thus it appears that, while racetrack
gambling was permitted by the laws of
the state. honest men, who would as

''t1 IN ANXIOUS S|[5 J$s[ Sat

There is loud and unanswer-
ed call for Archie G. Bell, who
has been operating from offices
in the Bank of Commerce build
ing as the Home Building COM
pany.
Bell appears to have many cred
itors. Some of them today were
trying to have a receiver appoint
ed. Others were before the
grand jury testifying and making
exhibits of checks that had been
returned dishonored.
At Bells Office 1t was announc-
ed he had not been heard from
since Tuesday, when he telephon-
ed saying he was In Seattle.
Today all sorts of stories were
floating around. Creditors and
persons who had had dealings
with Bell all seemed to think
they were In the hole financially.
Lumbermen were busy hunting
for lumber furnished and hauling
it back to their mills. Others
were getting lawyers busy look
ing up various deals to see wheth.
er they could get anything out OF
it.
One man named Setter Is said
to have sold q bunch OF lots to
Bell for $1,000 and he was to
take his pay In a house Bell was
to build. Bell Is said to have
