One Hundred and Twenty Million
Dollars Filched From American

One Hundred and Twenty Million
Dollars Filched From American
People the Past Year.
A Washington, D. c., dispatch of
July % says:
lone hundred and twenty million
dollars was filched from the Ameri-
can people during tha last fiscal year
by swindlers who operated largely
the United States mails, ac
cording to a report to Postmaster
General Hitchcock. This was an in
crease of approximately $50,000,000
over the previous year. OF those
who are alleged to have operated the
fraudulent schemes, 1868 were ar
rested by postofice inspectors. They
included persons in all walks Of life,
merchants and mechanics, politicians
and professional men, paupers and
millionaires. During the year which
ended June 80, last, 452 persons were
convicted and sentenced and 571
cases are awaiting final disposition.
The report says that these fraud
manipulators, who usually exploit
bogus mines, fake remedies and
worthless lands, constitute a distinct
class of law-breakers. Among the
wealthy offenders who have been
caught by the inspectors are criminals
who have posed as respectable citi-
zens, leaders in the communities and
personages in the highest social and
business circles. Some of them were
millionaires, enriched by their plum
der. Some of these men now are
serving prison sentences.

CONGRESSMAN CATLIN PRO
TESTS.

Says Democrats Voted to Cnseat Him
in Order That . Democrat Mixhs
Have His Job-Says They Have
Violated Every Principle Of Politi-
cal Deceney.
Washington, July 1s-Represents-
tive Theron z. Catlin. OF Missouri. In
a statement tonight characterized a
monumental fraud the action OF
the House committee on elections to-
day in voting TO recommend that he
be deprived OF his seat In the House.
The committee decided, by a vote OF
six to three. to report that Mr.. Cat
lin had not been properly elected, be-
cause 1t was disclosed that his rela-
tives had spent approximately $13,-
600 In his campaign, contrary to the
State law. The committee voted to
seat former Representative Patrick
Catlin.
THE action of the Democratic
members Of the committee On cleo
tions in declaring that Patrick Gill Ia
entitled to my seat, violates every
principle OF political decency and is a
travesty on elementary justice" said
Representative Catlin. Not a scin-
tilla of evidence was produced indi-
eating fraud Of any kind, character or
description. In order to consummate
this monumental fraud and to seat
Mr.. Gill, the Democratic members of
the committee arbitrarily threw out
votes of two wards, both of which I
carried by very substantial majori-
ties.
1T is inconceivable that any polit-
ical party should resort to such des-
perate measures to thwart the ex-
pressed will of the people. / look

trict for an overwhelming vindica
tion in November l welcome con-

(The Washington Post.)

Parkersburg, W. Va, July IS
After taking up the entire day with
conferences and executive sessions,
laying plans for the fail campaign in
this State, the new Republican State
Executive Committee organized late
tonight by electing James B. .Lakin,
of Terra Alta, President Of the State
Board Of Control, as its chairman,
and r. B. Bernheim, of Welch. as
secretary.
Instead of taking drastic action
looking toward the removal Of the
State electors who stated that they
would vote for Roosevelt and arrang-
ing to place Taft men on the ticket in
their stead, as it has been predicted
the committee would do, a harmony
plan was adopted and the third party
men were ignored entirely.
This action was taken, 1t Is said,
in the hope Of saving the State tick
etet which would have been greatly
by such a decisive step.
