Washington, D. c., July 22.-One
hundred and twenty million dollars
was filched from the American peo-
pie during the last fiscal year by
swindlers who operated largely
through the United States mails, ac-
cording to statement just made in
formal report to Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. This was an in
crease of approximately $4,000, 900
over the aggregate of the previous
! year
OF those who are alleged to have
operated the fraudulent schemes,
E1 ,O63 were arrested by postoffice in
Epectors.
y They included persons in all
walks of life, merchants and me-
chanics, politicians and professional
men, paupers and millionaires.
During the year, which ended
June 80 last, 452 persons were con-
victed and sentenced and 571 cases
are awaiting final disposition.

order to inspectors to collect evil
Ience that would warrant criminal

yally is building wall of protection
S(gainst such frauds around the
american people. Before that the
punishment was only fraud order
forbidding the delivery Of mail to
such operators, who worried but lit
tie. They merely changed their
names, addresses and title of their
businesses" continuing their op-
erations until another fraud order
caught up to them.
The report says that these fraud
manipulators, who usually exploit
bogus mines, fake remedies and
worthless lands, constitute dis
tinct class of law breaking. Among
the wealthy offenders who have
been caught by the inspectors are
criminals who have posed as respect
able citizens, leaders in their COM
munities and persons of highest so
cial and business fields. Some of
them were millionaires enriched by
their plunder. Some Of these men
are now serving prison sentences.
