; Strict Enforcement m East

W the east was said by the postoffice off cias to account for the comparatively few arrests in the, cities in that part of the country. While it was declared that violations of the laMa frequent in such cities as Boston. New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the accused have been pursued closely bysthe state and federal officials. Postoffice inspectors said the hotbed Of this class of criminality was m the Pacific coast states. 1t was claimed that in San Francisco a fictitious name was used by several well known doctors who. employed women to do the advertise ing and clerical duties. Cases were so- licited by correspondence and printed cir ealars. Scores of complaints have been receiven by the department from respee- table women complaining of the. receipt of this class of anatfer Approximately % per cent of those arrested are so-called pin doctors, or men who advertised their practice by correspondence and sent 10 their patients either by express or mail various admixtures of pills or powders.
 Analysis of these by the government is said to have disclosed that some of them are wholly innocuous while others in the practice are dangerous poisons. Under a section of the penal code the sending of poisons through the mails is expressly prohibited. f
 One of the men accused is said to have beeen the secretary of the board of health in the place of his residence. He responded to a. test or deeoy letter sent him by the inspectors on the sta tionary of the board of health. He has been indicted according to the reports received by the department. Particu- lar care was taken by the inspectors in collecting the evidence against busi- ness concerns. The men actually re sponsible for the illicit correspondence were ordered arrested. In this class of eases it is said many indictments all ready have been returned. As showing lthe difculties encountered the follow ing case is cited by those who have conducted the inquiry with cognizsnce: {:
 Interviews of inspectors with many of these practitioners indicated clearly and were treading upon dangerous ground.
 Tore Up the Letter
 In Chicago an inspector called upon a physician after having received from 1 him a response by mail to his decoy letter, The inspector professed a de- sire to engage the doctors services The doctor was cautious and the inspector was called upon to show the letter he had received. It was in the physicians own handwriting. Evidently suspicious he snatched the letter froih the hands of the inspector, tore it into shreds and threw il into the waste basket { Subsequently, the inspector returned to stile doctor The strips were secured from the, basket. He pasted them to- gether. That letter constituted an im- iportallt link in the chain of which on that doctor was indicted

Violation of Section 211

The arrests were made for alleged vio- lation of section 21i of the penal code of the United States, which bars from the United States mails any vile or obscene matter, whether sealed or not sealed, and any advertisement, letter circular or post card proposing or suggesting criminal practices or any packet containing any substance, drug or thing intended to be used for immoral or unlawful purposes.

Hitchcock Makes statement

The government will prosecute the cases vigorously according to a statement by Postmaster General Hitchcock tonight.
 The work of the postoffiee inspectors today is the continuation of the crusade instituted more than two years ago against the fraudulant and unlawful use of the mails,9 said MT. Hitchcock. Tn thai comparatively brief time we have wiped out of existenQe concerns which have mulcted the people of this country out of more than slo0oo0,Oo0 by frauds per petrated through. the use of sthe mails, and the courts have sent many of the pi cmoters of the Fraudulent schemes to Ithe penitentlary, where they now are serv- ing time.
