The Cincinnati Crooks Are Still
Using the u. S. Mails. Where
Is tIRe Fraud Order TO
Stop It?

superstitious start one of their Saint
Anthony cheats and swindles on this side of
the pond
Previous to that year, they had been afraid
to try it in this country
Now, however, they boldly work their con-
fdence game in Cincinnati, 1926 Scioto ST.,
and they suffer from no interference from
our prosecuting attorneys, our grand juries,
or the Postoffice authorities.
Let us suppose a case:
Let us suppose that lot of Gypsies had
rented those rooms, on Scioto Street. Cincin-
natl, and that they were advertising their
ability to use fairies, gnomes, mikes, hob
COLLINS and the shade of Nebuchadnezzar in
their earthly business.
Suppose that these Gypsies should pretend
that if you cross their palms with silver
gold, or bankers due bill, they will infu-
ence the ghosts to hunt up lost jewels, lost
poczet-books. find tenants for vacant houses,
find husbands for vacant women, find buy
ers for real estate, &C.
What qoOuzd you say? What would the
grand jury say? What would Alexander
Alderman say? What would Aunt Samuel
say?
Well, there is bunch Of crooks located on
Scioto Street, Cincinnati, using our mails,
and swindling our females, at just such
confidence game.
[ allude to the cheats and swindlers who
work the Saint Anthony racket, on American
fools who need guardians and straight-iack-
cts.
In the monthly issue of est Anthonys
Messenger" which no Fraud order has yet
swatted, we get monthly reports from the
fools who have been parted from their ducats
You may remember the Los Angeles luna
tic who paid these Cincinnati crooks, because

horses. But the third horse has never shown
up.
Why the Saint refused to locate this third
horse, needs to be explained
Perhaps it wasn't enough of horse to
interest the Saint
Or, maybe one of the Mexicans had got
him, and could not be persuaded, even by
a Saint to give the horse up. Anyway, that
third Los Angeles critter is still missing.
Looking into the January 1914 issue of
this idiotic magazine, [ find that Saint
Anthony has had his hands full as usual
On Nov. 49, he found pocket book which
zone of the Sisters lost on one of the crowded
streets"
She looked for it, could not find it, went
in prayer to Saint Anthony, promised to pay
the priests for Mass-and in ten minutes
Saint A. had found that purse!

DEAR SIR: Enclosed find clipping from
- National Tribune of Washington, D. c., of
December 9th. You can see what it says. From
my views it is a deliberate lie or else he does
not know what he is saying. l notice he does
not lose an opportunity to SANDER Socialists. His
name would imply where he belongs. take his
paper, not because [ like it's policies, but on
account of it's war stories.
Now believe your Jeff has larger crcua-
ton than the National Tribune and doubt the
jeff is read in WASHINGTON more than the Tri-
bune, and [ would like for you to give him a
write up what he says in the clipping per-
tanning to ShastTi as you know more about him
than any one else

where my breath comes from. Many other
letters much better in all respects, I hand

ever.
Tbs old soldier sends me clipping in
which DR. Shastri, the Hindoo, was scandal
lOusly bemeaned because he said that the
prize package system of converting the poor
heather is not a success, save in dlSpOsng of
the prize packages.
This untutored Hindoo was invited over
here, from the regions South of Mt. Ararat,
to make speech to such International car
pet cleaners as the Rev. DR.. Wllber Crafts
and wife, of Washington, d. G.
When DR.. Shastri got over here, and made
few remarks about Foreign Missions, he
began to wish that he were back home, roost-
ing on the top of Mt Ararat, where the
Crafts person could not get at him
Dir. Shastri, you know, blurted it right out
to the newspaper reporters that the poor
heather OF his great country all rushed to
get the prize packages our missionaries so
literally handed around, but that none Of
these heather remained Christians unless the
prize packages continued to roll.
Or words to that effect Oh I tell you it
made Dr. Crafts and his spouse hopping
mad
That's what the clipping was about-the
clipping the old soldier sent me-
The soldier says that he believes my paper
has larger circulation than the Tribune [

year ago, and hardly know now what our
circulation is. [ notice that the Postoffice
Department needs a good deal of our nasty
money, but that may be on account Of the
million dollars that John Shelton Williams
took out, of the public treasury and loaned
to his brother Lansing Williams.
Lansing Williams was in c0hoot with
Frank Munsey in scooping the United States
Trust Company; and John Shelton loaned
them 100000 of our public funds to finance
the deal-John Shelton being our Democratic

The highest votes received on OPP
position legislative tickets were
those of Long, independent and Hill,
democrat. Their vote aggregates
only 1927 and doubtless many voters
voted for both Long and Hill. This
shows seven hundred who were not
enamored of the candidates for re-
personalities. Something over 1000
did not vote in the contest for con-
gress.
The figures prove that the COVER.
nor's race was the piece de resist
ance of the election, something that
has not been true in the county in
six years. Heretofore, the interest
has largely centered in the legisla-
tive contests, but the calls for news
on the night of the election Indicated
much greater interest in the COVER
nor's fight. This is shown in the
vote Of the county.

"The events to transpire in the

ITS DISCOVERY.

Special to The Herald.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 1O.-Fol-
lowing the discovery of three cases
of foot and mouth disease in Bullitt
County, Kentucky, the Bourbon Stock
Yards were closed down at midnight
last night. 1t is probable that Ken
lucky will be added to the number OF
states that are under quarantine.
Between rs and 100 car loads Of
live stock were shipped to eastern
points before the closing of the
yards. n the shipments were 5000
head of cattle and 5000 hogs. They
represented about $150,0OO. One rail-
road alone handled eighty-four cars
of stock. Employees of the yards
worked all night long loading the
cars. The activity resulted from the
discovery of the cattle disease at
Shepherdsville and the prospect Of
the federal quarantine against Ken
lucky.

FOUND THAT CONDITIONS ARE
BECOMING RAPIDLY READ.
JUSTED THERE.
Views OF A LOCAL MERCHANT

Frank VANDERBILT Says That Result Of
War Is Going to Be Period of Great
est Activity and Merchandising op-
portunity nation Has Ever Enjoyed.
II found in New York that this
country is rapidly recovering from the
shock of the European war, and that
all the merchants there are expecting
the best fall and winter trade that
they have ever had" said Eugene An
derson this morning. He has just re-
turned from New York City, where he
surveyed the financial situation and
"got a line" on the merchandise trade
for the winter.
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank, the largest
financial institution in the nation,
summed up the financial situation
pretty well the other day in an inter-
view that he gave out to the New
York Times. He stated that while
we had been undoubtedly shocked by
the European conditions, owing to
our intimate relations with all the
civilized countries, that he, speaking
for the big bankers Of the country,
believed that we were fast recover
ing from this shock, and the natural
result thereafter will be a period Of
the greatest activity and merchandise
ing opportunity this country has ever
enjoyed.
"All that is necessary to make
these predictions come true is the
same optimistic view Of the situation
from every merchant and manufac-
turer in the country and an enthusi-
astic effort on the part of each to
make these predictions reality.
THE American mills will soon be
running to capacity. Money is much
easier in New York than it was some
time ago. 1t can be gotten at 5A%
now, whereas two months ago it was
SO. There is a tendency to make
an optimistic view of the situation
since the nation has recovered from
the first shock, and the New Workers

and gave battle. The shells from the

the crew escaped. Three were killed
on the Sydney. Seventy war ships
