AS a warning to the suckers" he has

Down in Pine street." he says,
there is today we'll furnished Office,
most conservative in appearance, the
Suckers Directory of the fraud gang.
The man in charge Of the Office has
never been suspected Of his calling,
and none Of his associates believes
that it is anything but legitimate. l
am informed that the list of names is
now nearing the quarter million mark,
and growing daily. AS soon as the
concern puts out more literature, they
consult the directory in order to get
quick returns. Whenever a new vic
tim bites his name is added to the
list.
Some day soon I hope the people
whose names are on this list will
know how they are considered by the
men who have taken their money.
The list is arranged after the fashion
of a Dun or Bradstreets directory.
1T seems that all a person has to
do is to have a full page in a metro
politan paper advertising a bonanza,
then scatter smaller advertisements
through the country periodicals, usu-
ally reproducing the New York adver-

Hobble Invades Nations High Court

The person who has precipitated ali
this discussion is Adelma H. Burd Of
New York. Whel she appeared in
the courtroom and proceeded to take
her seat within the inclosure reserved
for members of the bar there was a
hasty investigation. It did not ceem
likely that a woman lawyer who had
attained the dignity of the right to
practise before the Supreme court
would be so swayed by feminine emo
tions as to don skirt that showed
tendencies toward the hobble idea.
Some of the court officers, as a mat
ter of fact, we're not certain in their
own :linds that the hobble feature
was there. That question has not
yet bet answered satisfactorily.
Anyway, Miss Burd Was not mo-
Tested. She is likely to go down In
history as the first woman who By
her appearance tefore the Supreme
court proved that her sex can attain
the greatest distinction in store for
attorneys without putting behind It
what is regarded az tho feminine do
votion to tho dictates of fashion.
