held by the police on suspicion OF being
connected with a giant sHindle of
foreigners and immigrants during the
last two years. The police assert
that a search that has been going on
for the last year and a half Is ended.
More than a quarter of million dol
lars has been realized as a result of
the swindle, they estimate.
1t IS alleged by the police that the
principal interest in the swindling be-
sides dealing in stocks and bonds on
which lie realized heavily from newly
arrived foreigners, was the agent of
the Greek Catholic Union, an insurance
company, with headquarters at Home
stead, Pa. The police claim that he or
ganized a gang, insured fictitious peo-
pie. paying the assessments on these
for five or six months and then turning
in q report of their death. The eertifi-
Gates of DEATH burial and the UNDER
takers were forged and presented tn

Under such ruling there is believed to
be no remedy for this condition until

one of the authorities quoted by Mr.
Patiangall was Chief Justice Whitman,

conception which would allow of omit

Defeated Candidate Gives 0ppo.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Questions
whether President Elect Wilson is a
free trader and a single tax advocate,
and whether he, together with Sena =
tor O'Gorman of New York had en-
dorsed Mrs. Steven b. Ayers for the
presidency of the Womans National
Democratic League, caused dissen-
sions in debate on the second days
session of the convention of that or
ganization here, today. These sub
Jeets precipitated a particular clash
between Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby OF
New York, the retiring president of
the organization. and Mrs. M. r. Scott,
president general of the Daughters of
the Revolution.
Mrs. Scott had assembled to the plat
form to make her speech nominating
Mrs. Ayers when she was asked by
the President to step down and speal.
from the floor. The announcement
caused much dissatisfaction among
the delegates. Mrs. Scott, after de-
elaring she had been insulted began
her nomination speech, in which she
made the statement that Mrs. Ayers
had been endorsed for the office by
Pres Elect Wilson and Senator o..
German. esaa 44a
Nomination and seconding speeches,
displayed much feeling at times and
it was with difficulty that the Chair
was able to maintain a semblance of
order. The greater show of feeling
came when the election for president
had been completed and the announce
ment made that Mrs. Ayers had been
elected. At this point, Mrs. Crosby
from the Chair said.
II am very glad, ladies, that you have
elected new president. Regarding the
statement referring to Mr.. Wilson ] wish
to say that both Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
are friends of mine and / know he would
not interfere in an election of this or
ganization. / propose that he shall hear
how his name has been brought into this
affair. I have lost the election because
of the question of whether | am free

Mrs. Crosby's statement was made af-
ter Mrs. Scott had risen to appoint Off
GERS and attempted to defend her pre-
vious statement that Pres. ELECT Wilson
and Senator OGorman had endorsed
Mrs. Ayers.
With the close of this discussion the
election of officers proceeded They are,
