The division of winnings from the
dupes was, however, naturally not
equal; some of the promoters of the
five years are stated by the federal
authorities to have cleared millions,
while others got hundreds of thou
In other cases the post Office inspec-
tors got on the trail of the swindlers
before they had chance to fleece any
large number of victims.
The scope of the fraudulent mail
business in this country may be gagged
to some extent from the simple state
ment that $4,000 complaints concern
ing schemes to defraud were made to
the post office department during the
last fiscal year, in addition to the rou-
tine inspections of the post offices.
Approximately 100 different kinds Of
swindles are included in the schemes
whereby the mail operators have gath
cred in the coin of the innocent since
1910. Schemes for stock selling and
for treating disease by mail are the

report of the solicitor for the post Of
flee department it is stated that in
1914 of the frauds suppressed through
the issuance of fraud orders-which
bar the mails to the schemes specified
therein - the most profitable were
those operated for the treatment of
disease. In 1913, on the other hand.
1t was stated that "the stock selling
proposition seems to appeal to the
public more than any other one fraud
scheme unearthed."
OF the medical frauds the report for
1914 says:
These schemes were insidious. vi
cious and highly detrimental to the
public welfare. while the methods pur.

with which the department had to
deal. In view of certain decisions of
the courts they were also the most

of the stock selling swindlers those
who have netted the largest amounts
are those who have dealt with min
ing and oil properties, although big
sums have also been coaxed out of
pockets of the guiieless by the golden
promises of fortunes to be made from
buying stock in land companies and
even in industrial companies.
One of the worst features of the
stock selling schemes is that it is
largely those who can least afford to
lose who buy the worthless securities.
In the gray old federal building of
New York there have, within the last
three years. been told stories on the

more than those arrested in 1913 and
s16,000,000 more than those arrested
In 1912, which seems to indicate that
the American public is becoming less
rather than more sophisticated.
Analysis of the annual reports of the
post office department for the fiscal
year 1914, recently printed for public
distribution, with analysis of the four
preceding annual reports, gives the
figures mentioned. In considering the
tribute which Americans are yielding
each year to the mail swindlers it
should be noted, however, that the to-
tai of 1851 100000, great as it is, is but
a part of the stupendous total trib-
ute which goes into dishonest pockets
via the mail route each twelve months
For the 1851, 100000 is the estimate of
the federal authorities of the haul only
of those persons arrested.
BY no means all the mail swindlers
of the United States are arrested:
fraud orders do the work of stopping
their operations in some instances; in
others it is impossible for the post
Office inspectors to obtain the evil
dence which would justify criminal
court action; in still others the activi.
ties of the swindlers never come to the
attention of the authorities at all.
Thus it is obvious that the loot of
those arrested is but part-no man
can say how small or great a part-of
the total sum of money filched each
year by mail sharpers from the Amer
lean pocketbook.

consisted mainly of salt marsh,
many miles in area, the water could
be put to no practical use. But in
