POLICE INVESTIGATING
CLEVER FLIMFLAM GAME
Deep Secrecy Maintained by Detectives
ns To Trick by which s2O Bills
Have Nccn Changed.

The police are investigating one OF
the cieNercSi iiimilam games with
which they have been Cailec upon to
deal during recent months. but up to
an early hour this morning had made
practically no progress in the case. In
fact. operatives from Police Head
quarters are maintaining the policy Of
absolute secrecy" which has been in
effect In the detective bureau for some
time. and deny any knowledge OF the
clever swindlinc scheme. However. il
Is known that several of the local
banks have been made victims during
the last few days. and that the mat
ter has been brouEht to the attention
Of the police detectives.
According 20 persons connected with
several Of the local banks. II has been
noticed that there have been n umrbe
Of requests recently MAIDS of tcllers
that they change $50 bills. In each
case the change was given courte1usly
by the bank official, the 500 bill
slipped into it's place in the cash
drawer. and nothing more thought Of
the matter.
However. in counting over his cash
during the late afternoon several days
ago. one Of the cashiers happened to
notice a slight ridge on one Of the
$50 bills as IT slipped through his
fingers. He made a more careful on
animation of the bill, and found that
only the two corners bearing the
hBures 20 were portions OF a 500 bill.
1t was found hat the corners Of a
IS bill had been cut off ard those from
$50 bills had been pasted neatly In
their stead. 1t is thought that only
one corner was taken from each SEQ
bill. so as not to ruin II. TIL: police
have been unabl to fathpm the means
by which the substituted corners were
attached so clercrly TO the bills of
smaller denominations.
During the first few days of the
present week it is known that at ieast
three of these bills were passed on
local banks. and i, is believed n num-
Der of others were passed also. al
though their presence in the tills may
not nave been discovered as yet. One

Roosevelt tonight swept aside all
doubt rs to his attitude. He IL In tho

to Roosevelt, Gun Emerson. secretary
OF the Roosevelt, Nonpartisan League.
said:
The platform that is absolutely
vital. in our opinion, for the safety
Of the country during the four mo-
mentous years which lie ahead is tho
platform strongly stated in your re-
cent Chicago speech. We believe that
YOU are the only man now available
who can carry that platform into ef-
feet. and who. at the same time, has
any chance Of being elected"
In his reply, Colonel Roosevelt once
more outlines the. principles Of patriot
ism and preparedness. which nc has
declared 10 be the dominant issues. and
says:
your league emphn sizes its devotion
TO these principles. and supports me
only az representing the principles.
This is emphatically the proper attitude
TO take: and because this Is your atti-
tude and because you are working in
this spirit. / very earnestly approve
you work"
II can be said with certainty that
behind this declaration is a plain pur-
pose Of d%issipating all doubt as to his
position In the fight. He is a candi-
date on the platform which he has
outlined. He will remain in the fght
until the issue has been decided.

TO GIVE LEGAL AID FREE

LnNJcra.

TOPEKA. KANS.. May l1.-For sew
eral years there has been considerable
discussion of free legal aid to the poor
persons OF A community that they may
have redress for their wrongs and
secure their legal rights. Repeatedly
lawyers have said that free legal aid
was a vision TO be realized in the dis
tant future
And the same lawyers would point
ont that the English common law Is
she basis for most Of the La VS. OF the
states at the present time. and is such
an old established institution that it ia
really ~disgraceful that so many liber-
ties are taken with 1t. The idea Of
free legal aid for the poor Of a com
munity is older than the common law
Of England. w. r. Montgomery. As
sistant Attorney-GeneraI OF Kansas,
who has charge OF the free legal aid
work for the Attorney-General, has
found an old statute Of James /. Of
Scotland, enacted in 1924, that specin-
cally provides for free legal aid to
the poor OF a community. Here is the
statute, in the words and figures as il
was enacted:
And gif there bee onie pure creature.
