INVESTIGATION IN NEW YORK
REVEALS QUEER CONDITION

New York, March 27.-That the
American public has been swindled
out of 100000 in the last three
years by persons arrested for uslnS
the mails TO defraud is the startling
information uncovered b. an eNaihl-
nation of the records at the head
quarters of the postoffice inspectors

1t is also pointed out that this sum
was obtained by persons arrested ana
that many additional millions We're
pillagel by Get Rich quick oper-
ators who succeeded in GLIDING the
postal authorities. The report shows
that over fifty varieties OF schemes
are in vogue by sWindlers who Cd
tain their victims through the man.
The schemes range from obtaining
two-cent stamps dishonesty to the
mulctiag of the public to the tune OF
millions in single enterprise.
Worthles stock selling schemes are
in the lead. Year after year there
appear tens of thousands of men ann
women in the United States who are
perfectly willing to send their
| money to men in distant cities, about
whom they know absolutely nothing
| except the lurid lines which these
| men tell about themselves and their
companies stocks in their own letters
| and circulars. Fake land schemes
make up another numerous and re-
munerative class of swindle. Sales
of worthless medicines and medical
| appliances net great deal OF
money. The report lists the follow
| lng among the schemes worked less
| frequently; Fake horse and ath-
letic contests, fake banks, fake en-
lployment, fake c. o. d. express pack
ages. fake sale of state rights, fake
sale Of various articles ranging from
dogs TO peanuts, fake home purchas-
ling investment contracts, fake silk
dealers, green goods, fake loan
schemes ana requests for rewards for
lost articles alleged to have been
found. But all these varieties Of
swindle are insignificant money get

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 21.-(Specia1. )--Ca- bles this morning were sharply higher than due and on further short cover ings our market advanced early some 10 to 12 points from yesterdays clos
 ing. This made quite a sharp ad- vance in a narrow market, since the low prices of Friday and the local traders who remained very bearish felt that the continued dry weather in the west since last week had been dis counted. Their selling, together with realizing, and some selling from the Atlantic states whence reports are fa- vorable, cost the market the early ad- vance.
 The weekly weather report again called attention to the western drouth and was otherwise favorable, except that 1t reported dry areas in Missis- sippi Louisianan. Arkansas. Alabama and Tennessee.
 It is of course too early In view of the present uncertainties of trade for this condition to have much influence on sentiment, but with late and spot ted crop August promises to be an un- usually critical month this year.

Child Gets Farm for s6

From the New fork sun.
 Denver, Col.--Six dollars for home stead valued at $2500. That's what the generous land laws of Uncle Sam per mitted 12-year-old Naomi Gladys Grimes to pay at the Denver federal land office. Now she has a 160-acre farm 19 miles southwest of Berthoud in the foothills farming country.
 Naomi Grimes walked proudly into the land office She didn't let her attorney or her guardian pay the s6 but handed 1t over the counter to Mary Wolfe Dargin. register of the land office. with her own hand.
 The girls mother, Hattie Cox, died May 13 1910, but a sort time after she had made entry on the tract of land. Her only daughter, Naomi Gladys Cox. was adopt ed by Dacie l.. Grimes and took the lat ter's name Then came the people who are always watching an opportunity to get hold of valuable land after others show it's worth. Two of them filed con tests against the land. They did not make much progress, for the laws favored the heir and all their efforts to deprive the girl of her legal rights were of no avail
 Naomi will not have to plant any crops nor bring any water on her land. All that she had to do was to pay the balance due on the claim established by her mother
