SAY SW|NDLERS
HAD Clever GAME
Police Claim Men Arrested Yes
terday Stole Checks from
letter. Boxes.

Three men, who were arrested yes
terday charged with an attempt to
swindle the American National Bank,
were today photographed by the po-
lice and their pictures placed in the
rogues' gallery. They gave their
names as Morris Luban, 9o2 Gates
avenue; Jacob Luban. 351 Forty-sixth
street, and Samuel Friedman, 50 Sec
ond avenue, all of Brooklyn. They
were arrested by Lieutenants Tuite
and Mailer, of the detective bureau,
and Pinkerton operative NJ. H. Mayer.
The trio are said to have been
operating in Eastern cities for
months. Their method, so the police
claim, is TO steal checks in letters
from mail boxes, forge Endorsements
and deposit the checks. The deposits
were then drawn out. On August
5 they are alleged to have opened an
account at the American National
Bank here with a check which they
had stolen.
The police are now looking for the
fourth member of the gang, who es-
capped yesterday.

an exhibit conducted by the Short Ballot
Organization. of which Woodrow Wilson

The largest one. nearly ten feet in
length, is suspended from the ceiling and
bears the names OF nearly sixty candi-
dates. 1t Is the contention Of the organi-
zation that with such a ballot the aver
age citizen cannot vote intelligently. In
fart. the whole purpose OF the exhibit
is to show that the shorter the printed
ballot the greater the facility with which
the voters may make known their choice.
Also shown is typical English ballot
the size of postal card and bearing one

the Short Ballot Organization hopes to Sc
