support of the exposition. They pledged
themselves not to ask for funds for
this purpose. All they sought was

were successful in their quest. and the
resolution embodying their request

ord of the weighing of a given half day. This could afterward be com 1 pared with the figures of the weigher. A pretty close check could thus be put on the given suspects.
 By such methods fairly clear cases were obtained against given weighers and checkers. After much information was gathered certain guilty men would be selected who would be given chances to tell all about their knowl- edge of the frauds. These men would be given immunity. Thus would a few Sf the guilty escape punishment; but thus, also, would the government learn all the details of the frauds that it might be able to provide effectually against them.
 Special agents were set to watch every suspect, to learn his manner of life, how he spent his money whether he could be trapped on the outside. When the government needed the con- | fession of a given man he would be called upon and talked to in some such manner as this:
 You, as checker, worked with Weigher Smith on given cargo. The weights shown by the scales Smith divided by two and you passed them. | That night messenger was sent to | Costello with statement of the short
 weight you had passed. Costello paid
 half the duty on this short weight. You
 and the weigher split on the basis ot forty, sixty.
 We know of a score of offenses equally glaring on your part. The government needs you as witness
 Under the circumstances do you not
 think it would be advisable for you te
 go without me to the district attorney
 and make a complete statement of al
 you know about customs fraudsE
 The man that the government
 wanted usually came through with al
 he knew. So were the cases made
 absolute and so were all the methods
 of graft revealed. Eleven weigher
 and checkers were convicted and sen to the penitentiary. Many hundred of thousands of dollars ill duties tha . had been avoided were assesse' against and paid by importers. Tn l government was lenient with most these because of it's chagrin over tn ) part played by it's representatives an l because the initiative in the offendin 7 had usually been taken by govern } ment agents.

right among the fanatics. l have learned to keep score card al ready"
 Aud such were actually the facts. To solve the riddle of the customs frauds Agent Gard was working hard at the task of becoming baseball fan.
 Two weeks he had devoted to the docks, During the first of these weeks he had gone from wharf to wharf and from man to man. He had asked many questions which were but the commonplaces that any individual who wanted to get smattering of the detail of such a business would have asked. He was received tolerantly by the old heads of the customs crowd. Many agents had been to the docks ahead of him and most of these had been experts, If they began to get dangerous, political influence was used in having them pulled off the job or money was used in having them fail to report any wrongdoing. But this youngster who did not know the sim Dlest things about the customs service he was hardly worthy of notice.
 But during that week Gard had not expected to become a customs expert. His plan for getting results was founded on a different idea He had been hunting for man who suited the purpose of his plan, and had found him. This man was an Irishman by the name of OToole, who was one of the weighers at a certain dock in Brooklyn. He had in the back of his head all the facts that the special agent lacked. If he could be induced to cooperate, the case might be worked out.
 O'Toole was man of fifty, and had been a weigher for eleven years. Gard had learned many things about him. He had no family, his great en- thusiasm was baseball, and his weak ness was certainty of going to the mat with John Barleycorn every third Saturday night He was a lonesome man, and sour and cynical.
 How long have you been on this investigation? O'Toole asked Gard before the conversation had gone far.
 Just this week." said the special agent
 Have you found anything?" asked the weigher.
 Not yet" said the special agent. ..,II4.-~sl., =ss5=-t eS4AA iob-S ,@ii.c9 < 1,i is fr99Sdlne&eant you 'ss' = last. don't" said the Irishman.
 They discussed the general points in the business of weighing cargoes and the work of the force having it in charge. But the special agent had gathered the idea that O'Toole was not in sympathy with conditions, that he was not a member of the in ner circle. Yet an intelligent man serving as weigher for eleven years would know secrets that would be of interest to the government, and O'Toole was embittered. He should be cultivated.
 The days of the following week the special agent spent about the docks dressed as a rough laboring man. The
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-09-22

nights he spent in nearby saloons with the aequaintances he had made during the day. The idea in this was to determine what information the laborers were able to pick up and whether they could be used as inform CTS. Many of these were Irishmen, as smart as the best of them. and pretty well aware of what was going on. From the gossip of these men it was also possible to get many flash on the character of the men higher up. O'Toole they pronounced honest
