SELLS NAMES OF pEbDBE.rs
New Yorker Devices Scheme for 3-ns-
fit Of Dishonest Statesmen Who
Work on Commission.

There are tricks In all trades-and
some trades are all tricks I've Just
heard of brand new scheme for TAX
ing money out Of pockets. the New
York correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Times-Star writes. 1t Is SO essentially
New York in device-so throbbingly
metropolitan In its chicanery-that 1t
Is worth a paragraph. Its manipula-
tor sells lists of worthless names to
cheating statesmen who work on COM
mission. Every now and then a guy
blows in here who wants to make
some quick money" he explains. He
gets a job selling omething on COM
mission. 1t doesn't matter VIII other
It's books or automobiles. What does
matter is that he gets percentage
OF his pay when the s: gnature of the
purchaser Is confirmed by the latter.
So MIR. Salesman comes to me. l have
a list Of 1000 names here. The pos
SCISSOR Of every name is a man Of good
outward appearance. every one will
sign anything offered to him, and
every one is 80 judgment proof that
the supreme court itself couldn't get
q nickel out Of him with a thumb
screw. l give my salesman friend two
names-selected at random from the
list-as q sample package. He goes
forth. breaks into their Offices, slaps
down his prospectus and puts up q
little game Of talk. Sure says tho
other fellow. I'll subscribe. What
10 it1'
"Ths salesman. convinced that I
have . good thing. then buys other
names from me. l never lot the same
man have more than ten or fifteen. or
he'd soon have my list and ruin me
In the market. Anyhow. he doesn't
want moro than that many. By the
time he's collected an advance COM
mission on their signatures he's ready
to leave. The men who sign these
contracts never refuse to confirm their
signatures when the tracer goes
around. They always accept delivery
Of the goods-and they never pay.
Sometimes the manufacturer gets his
goods back. and sometimes he doesn't.
And . good part Of these men are
known to every one in the city BY
name. Ono very prominent manufac-
turer u on my list His name 10

been on the front page Of every paper

And there are o-Ners Of almost equal
standing. l wouldn't take $4,000 for
that list Of dead beats. l am making
ten per cent annual interest on that
sum from it."

sress acts fayorably on the plans Of

pIeted by Gen. Crowder judge adyo-

which the articles Of war are intended
TO regulate have changed greatly since

bility of the existing code to present
day service conditions.
The necessity for a comprehensive
revision we're commenced by the war
department. the first in 1883, and the
other in 1908. The need tor it has
been so insistent that my predeces-
sor, Secretary Dickinson, directed the

undertake the labor revision. That
labor has been painstakingly prose
cuted, and the results are presented
for your consideration as the basis
OF remedial legislation.
The accompanying letter from the

very clearly and concisely the theory
of his undertaking and the details Of
the suggested changes. | deem il nee

tention only to the following broad
features of the project:
