HINT AT NEW PASSPORT FRAUD
Washington Believes Swoboda's Claim
TO Citizenship Baseless.

WASHINGTON, April 23. - An in
vestigation conducted by agents of the
department of justice into the manner
in which Raymond Swoboda, held by
the French military authorities on
charges of being a spy, obtained his
passport as an American citizen before
leaving this country has produced inn
portant disclosures, it was learned in
an official source last night.
1t was said that criminal proceed
ings by the government may result.
Even Swoboda S most intimate bust
ness associates may have been misled
as to his real character. Officials of
the department of justice refused to
give any definite information regard
ing the facts that have been revealed.
Grave doubt is east on Swoboda s
claim to American citizenship. The
French authorities have asserted that
Swoboda has admitted that his real
name is Sehwind.

The American passport which Swo-

consul on February 10.
Swobcda wished to get from the

the general agents office, and then
emerged smiling.

Then he paid for his ticket and

guet also sailed on La Touraine to
see his wife. who Is Ill IN France. He
has not yet returned. Only he knows
who wrote the letters OF introduction
Swobcda presented.
NJ. Treyvoux remarked today that
1t is impossible for the steamship line
to go back Of an American passport
with the French consurs wise.
We haven't the time to go into an
investigation ourselves" he observed
1T Is Just as impossible for us to
do that as for US to break open every
piece OF cargo offered us and 60
through 1t. 1t would be extremely
difficult for a Passenger to get In
the ships hold, and this Are was
among the cargo, not in the baggage
room."

was inclined today to believe that the
passport vised by his clerk on Feb.
ruary 10 was genuine. TT has with.

commented. and II II Is q forgery
that will soon be known"
The most striking circumstance
seemed to be Washingtons record that
Swoboda's passport was applied for
on February Is, the day before La
Touraine sailed. in face of the fact
that passport for Swoboda was v!sed
at the French consuls seven days
earlier, 1t was suggested that Swo-
boda had an old passport vised--they
are good for two years from date of
issue-hut then the question rose as
to why he should have sought another
one the eve OF sailing.

You will remember that [ kept after Uncle
Sam, until he told me the amount of insurance

the gamblers.
Forced to sell, h0u?
By the refusal of the government to either
buy cotton or to lend on it; and by the zeal
which the government showed for the gam
blers, by lending them the money to buy with,
and by creating q United States Bureau of
Insurance which promptly ralidated the $50
bale at $40, by insuring it for the latter
amount.

Who loaned the spectators hundreds Of

The Government.
Who raised the values Of cotton to $40
bale, and then, when the ship sunk at sea,
took the premiums of all the insurers, and
paid the gambler his $40 bale?
The Government.
That's the tale. as the official record shows
it, and it reveals a colossal and most diabol-
cal robbery of the very men who had voted
this administration into power
What would have happened if the Govern
ment had needed the Souths cry of distress,
and had either bought 100000 bales, or
loaned the farmers the money to hold with?
The Government would have cleared big
money on the purchase, and the farmer would
have sold for - cents instead of 6.
For example, see how those buy-a- bale
firms came out ahead, after paying 10 cents
to the II. Y. McCord and Joe McCord brok-
ers-for the farmers never saw dollar Of
that 10 cent money; the clipping is from the

The fact is, that the Italian Pope did not
