who have netted the largest amounts
are those who have dealt with min

sums have also been coaxed out OF
pockets Of the guileless by the golden
promises Of fortunes to be made from

even In industrial companies.
One Of the worst features of the
stock selling schemes is that 1t is
largely those who can least afford to
lose who buy the worthless securities.
In the gray old federal building OF

then read one of the prospectuses of
the swindlers who were sitting at the

she was giving her evidence. This

would only forward 1t at once for

authorities to have cleared millions,

ing schemes to defraud were made to
the post office department during the
last nscal 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
two swindles which have netted more
money than any other kinds. In the
report of the solicitor for the post Of
fee department 1t 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 1918, 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-
sued were the most uncomfortable
with which the department had to
deal. In view Of certain decisions of
the courts they were also the most
difficult with which successfully to
cope.

cases the testimony Of the proprietors
of these enterprises, under cross-ex-
