New York, Nov 22-In raids so
important that postmaster general
Hitchcock took charge in person, his
inspectors raided two concerns yesteT-
day afternoon, which they charge with
swindling the public out of more than
s4O,Oo0,o0O by fraudulent use of the
mails.
Sheldon H. Burr, president; Eugene
H. Burr, secretary and treasurer, and
Frank H. Tobey. vice president of Burr
Brothers, were arrested in the first
raid and held in $4,000 bail each.
The government charges that the
firm sold between $40,00O.0O0 and $780,
10000 of mining and oil stock worth
little or nothing.
the Continental Wireless Telegraph
and Telephone company, incorporated
in Arizona, was taken in the secoj;d
raid and held in $4,000 bail. Inspec-
tors say his company has sold stock
amounting TO at least $1,000. 600. which
has brought in no return to the n :
vestors.
Vaughan is treasurer of the Column
bia Finance company, which acts as
fiscal agent for the Continental Wire
less Telegraph and Telephone com
pany, and had charge of the Continen-
tai office in this city.
The crusade of postmaster general
Hitchcock against these get rich
quick" concerns. is expected today to
cause a general exodus of fake pro-
motors from the city. The postmaster
general is determined to send to prison
this class of promoters who, he says,
have sold the unsuspecting public a
hundred million dollars worth of
worthless securities in the last five
years. Many arrests are expected
throughout the country within the
next few days.
Mr.. Hitchcock declared today that
the government would drive from the
country every wild cat scheme to
separate the gullible investors from
their money.
Postoffice Inspectors Story.
Carter R. Keene. postal Inspector,
told the story of Continental Wireless.
The company was organized, he said,
in Arizona on October 1, 1909, with a
capital of s5,OOO.OOO but did not be-
gin operations on a large scale until
May of this year.
1t obtained control of the Collins
Wireless Telephone company, the Pa
cific Wireless Telegraph company, the
Clark Wireless Telegraph-Telephone
company and the Massie Wireless
Telegraph company. The Columbia FL
make the stock, and an ambitious
selling campaign was carried on all
over the country. In spite of the great
amount of business done, Continental
Wireless today has no bank accounts,
he said, that the inspectors have been
able to find, and Investigation has
shown no trace of where the money
realized has gone
The Collins Wireless company was

The Philosophers and the
Frog

Dr.. Stafford, for many years profess
sor Of chemistry in the Medical Col
lege of the University OF Nashville,
used to tell his students a fable-the
moral Of which was ''prove It" Ger
tain wise men were gathered together
to ascertain the explanation OF a state
ment that when two glasses OF water
OF equal weight are balanced on the
beams OF a balance scale and a frog
IS then put in one OF the vessels the
balance remains the same, thus at
tempting to prove the assertion that
q frog has no weight when immersed
In water. Each wise man had his own
explanation, and there was much
heated argument and discussion At
length one OF the wise men said: But
is your statement true? Let's prove
ing 1t, they couldn't.
So when you hear people say that
Coca-Cola is injurious, just ask them
TO prove IT, They can't. Nobody can,
because it is not injurious But on
the other hand it can be proved that
# Is not Injurious by chemical anaiy-
sis Or If you are not chemist
yourself. why not accept the verdict
OF every competent chemist who ever
analyzed It? Eminent College and
University Chemists, Commercial Chem
lists. Government, State and City Cnem-
ists-au have analysed Coca-Cola and
not one has ever been able TO find any
thing Injurious in It. The very next
time you hear anyone say that Coca
cola contains deleterious ingredients
tell him to write the Coca-Cola Co., At
lanta. Ga, for a free copy Of their book
let .sTne Truth About Coca-Coia-" In
the meantime write for copy for your
self-you will find It very interesting.
