Most Remarkable Record in History of
Postoffiee pepartment.

Washington, Jan. 21-Promoters of
fraudulent schemes who had obtained
$77,000,000 from the public were put
out of business during the fiscal year
ending June 80 last, according to the
annual report of Robert S. Sharp chief
inspector of the postofice department,
which was issued today.
This showing is the most remarkable
in the history of the department Dur
ing the fiscal year 529 individuals were
indicted on the charge of using the
mails In furtherance of schemes to de-
fraud. Of this number 1856 persons
were tried and 1874 were convicted. The
schemes investigated were Of endless
variety, varying as the report indicates
from the simplest business transac-
ton to a gigantic project involving the
sale Of worthless stock in fake mining
companies and imaginary and ficti-
tiOus institutions, existing only on pa
per or in the minds Of the promoters"
In no instance as far as knoYn to
this Office has a person convicted on a
criminal charge of this character at
tempted to reorganize his scheme I'M
