ALLEGED 'FLlMFLAMMERS'
ARE PUT UNDER ARREST
Three Colored Men Thought to
Have Been Operating in This
City Captured.

With the arrest of three colored men
today the police believe they have
| captured the ''f1imflammers' who have
been operating in this city recently
by means of the "pocketbook" game.
The men gave their names and ad-
dresses as Harry Rogers. $50 E street
southeast; Benjamin McDuffy, Cooks
court, and Fleming D. Hall, 705 Heck
street. Philadelphia. They were arrest
ed by Detectives Evans, Stringfellow
and Boyle. The three detectives were
at 18th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest when the three colored
men were seen. Their actions. it is
stated, attracted the detectives, one of
whom questioned a colored man to
whom the trio are said to have talked.
The detectives say the man declared
he was told by one of the trio that
a pocketbook had been found and that
if nothing was said about it the money
in the pocketbook would be divided.
The trio are said to have gotten away
from the vicinity in the meantime and
when the officers learned the story they
obtained an automobile and gave
chase. The three colored men were ar
rested near 18th and G streets.
No charge has yet been placed against
the trio. They are held pending an in
vestigation. All three of the men, the
police say, had a pocketbook containing
la fake piece of paper money.

OFFERS TO PAY RANSOM
FOR FIVE ON LOST SHIP
Captain and Others From Liner
Marowijne Said to Be Held on
Gulf of Mexico Island.

NEW ORLEANS, September 9.-The
United Fruit Company in an advertise
ment in the personal column of To-
cal morning newspaper today offered to
pay the ransom demanded by an anony-
nous letter writer for Capt. McLaren,
two members of the crew and two pas
sengers of the lost liner Marowijne,
who, the writer claimed, were held
prisoners on an island in the Gulf of
Mexico.
The advertisement was signed by c. H.
Ellis, vice president of the company, who
said it was called forth by the receipt
of a second anonymous letter from the
person who wrote the company August %
that five men from the Marowijne were
held for ransom, and that the ships papers
and the captains watch had been sent to
the companys New York office as proof.
The writer was invited to communicate
with Mr.. Ellis this morning, but had not
done so up to II 80 o'clock.
I'VE have received none of the proofs
you refer to at our New York Office.
the advertisement read. IF you have
any proofs present them. we are will
Ing to pay ransom demanded"
Mr.. Ellis said he placed no faith in
the truth of the anonymous writer S
claims, but that he wished if possible
to clear up the matter.
Recent search of the gulf islands by
naval and United Fruit vessels re-
vealed no trace of any Marowijne sur
vivors.

CONSCIENCE FUND GETS
UNWELCOMED FOUR CENTS
Two Stamps Will Cost More Than
That Amount in Book
keeping Here.

1t will take some bookkee ping on the
part of the division of public moneys of
the Treasury Department tocover into the
United States Treasury two two-cent
stamps received for the conscience fund
this morning by Secretary McAdoo. Had
it been single two-cent stamp, probably
the conscience fund would not have
been enriched by that much.
In fact. whenever the sender of two
cent stamp is known the stamp is re-
turned. For it costs more to change a
two-cent stamp into d cash asset make
out certification of deposit and book =
keeping entries than the transaction
nets to the government.
The sender of the two-cent stamps re-
ceived today. is trying to compensate
twofold for a childhood crime. The
note accompanying the stamps told
that the writer had used a Cancelled
stamp, and now sent double the amount
of the pilfer to square the account
There was no signature. The post
mark was much obscured, and could
be made out only Is from the post
office of Huntersville, the state not

Another contribution of 81 to the
conscience fund was sent to the Treas
ury Department this morning from the
Navy Department The Navy Depart
ment made no explanation, and did not
send the original envelope in which
the contribution was probably con-
tanned when received there.

BERLIN, November $50 frequent
have been the pleadings of relatives
to be allowed to disinter the bodies of
their soldier-kin who have fallen at
the front and been buried there. and
bring them back home for reinterment
that the military authorities have re-
laxed their rules somewhat.
Bodies of soldiers may now be

a number are buried or in graves that
form part of a row; the exact location
of the grave must be indicated, by
sketches If possible; a relative or
friend who is vouched for as able to
identify the body must superintend
the disinterment; the body may be
transferred only by horse-drawn We

transfer on military trains is free, on
others subject to the customary

this is the first time in the Christian

officially described as the Zion Mule
Corps and both officers and rank and
file have shown great courage in taking
water and supplies up to the fighting
lines under heavy fire"
