STOP FRAUD DEALS

n HAND IN SCHEMES TO SWIM
T! DIE THE PUBLIC.
PROCEEDINGS ARE SLOW But SURE
Persons or Firms Whose Operations
May Be Tainted With get Rich
Quick" Will Be Denied
Mailing Privilege.

Wasbngton.-Losses of $129,000,-
600 in two years by the unsuspecting
public through swindling operations
carried on by use of the United States
mails have stirred the postal author
cites to drastic campaign against
fraudulent schemers. Wholesale use
OF the governments right to deny the
mailing privilege to persons or firms
whose operations may be tainted with
ssget rich quick" or other false promis-
es ia the weapon to be employed.
An effort to stop this swindling by
reliance upon criminal court has
proved ineffective. according to W..
II. Lamar, assistant attorney general
for the postoffice department, whose
annual report was made public Mon
day.
criminal proceedings are necessa-
rily slow" says the report, land by
means of appeals and other methods
the execution of sentence Is deferred
FOR long periods, during which the con-
Germs and individuals engaged In such
fraudulent business continue to reap
harvest through their swindling enter
prises.
In some instances, the penalty being
merely a fine, there was nothing to
prevent the parties from continuing to
conduct their schemes except fear OF
subsequent fines. These they could
easily afford to pay in view of the
large revenue derived from the bust
ness"
Mr.. Lamar points out that fraud
order Immediately cuts off the source
of supply Of funds upon which the
scheme largely depends for continu
ance and puts many prospective vic
Tins on their guard by reasons of the
veturn to them of their letters to sucf
concerns plainly marked Fraudulent
on the envelope.

MINE BANDIT GONE
ALL HOPES OF FINDING RALPH
LOPEZ, DEAD OR ALIVE,
ABANDONED BY SHERIFF.
MANY Miners STILL IN PURSUIT
Bingham, Utah, Was Scene Of Excite
ment for Past Few Weeks-
Lopez Most Deadly Marks
man-Had Killed 6.

Bingham, Utah.-All hopes of find
ing Ralph Lopez, dead or alive, in the
Utah Apex mine were abandoned sud-
denly Sunday. Sheriff Smith with
drew his searchers from the interior
workings and the guards from the
portals, leaving the mine unmatched
for the first time since November 81.
After killing two deputies in an I'M
derground battle on November 20,
making six in all he had killed within
eight days, Lopez called to his pur-
suers that more than six men would
have to sacrifice their lives if they
expected to capture him. That he had
made good his boast by escaping, al
though no more men were killed, Is
conceded by his pursuers.
Sheriff Smith declared that his sud-
den determination to abandon the
search was reached only after he was
satisfied that the desperate either
had escaped or been crushed to death
beneath some cavern, which would
prevent his body being found. How
ever, many miners planned to begin
search on their own account Mon
day, hoping that Lopez's body was
overlooked. A reward Of $1,000 is Of
fered for his capture or the recovery
of his body.
Two possible ways for Lopez to
have got out of the mine undecided
are given by those who have partic-
ipated in the man hunt. One Is that
he discovered an abandoned exit un
known and unguarded by the officers
The other is that he found a way into
the lowest level of the mine and made
his way out with a group of miners
coming off shift.
