WOMEN
in BOLD
SCHEME

Newspaper Enterprise Association
CHICAGO. ILL.,, Sept. 25.-An
amazing scheme to blackmail
wealthy physicians has Just been
brought to light by secret service
men i'm connection with the activ-
tiles OF the nationwide syndicate
said to have extorted more than
S1,O00,OO0 from wealthy men and
women.
The women sacrificed future
motherhood to gather in thous-
ands of dollars from victims.
In getting" physicians,
the face was blanched and
lines of worry were drawn
upon the spider woman's
brow. She discarded her
finery and dressed in the
modest attire of a middle
aged married woman.
Thus she came to the office of
a victim. She told story of how
she would soon become a mother,
but would be unable to care for
the child because of some all
ment or some other reason. Her
tears and pleas caused the victim
to give in. Generally small pay
ment was made and receipt
signed by the victim secured.
Then money was drawn from
the victim when the irate "hus-
band stamped into his office and
declared the physician had de-
prived his home of a child and
threatened to air the case.
Federal agents say they have
names OF several wealthy physi-
clans in Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia who we're victimized
this way.

Proposes Clear Lake Timber Be
Included In y. S. Negotiations

In a letter to The Times, A. H.
Denman, attorney, 1928 National
Realty building, makes the sug-
gestion that the timber around
Clear Lake should be included in
negotiations which, he says, were
begun some time ago by the Sc
attle-Tacoma Rainier National
Park committee to preserve the
timber along the mountain road
by arranging to have the United
States exchange. timber on gov
eminent lands, for timber owned
by abutting owners.
Applauds Movement.
His letter follows:
Editor The Times:
II have Just seen a contribution
to The Times of Friday, Sept. 10,
1916, by Mabel Abbott, illustrated
by a fine photograph made by A.
H. Barnes, forcefully calling at
tention to tile urgent need of saw
ing the timber of Clear Lake on
Eatonville road to Mt. Tacoma.
II suggest that you lay this
matter before the secretary of ag-
riculture. Washington, ID. c. The
Seattle-Taeoma Rainier Nartional
Park committee year or two ago
undertook TO preserve the timber
along the Mountain road by ne
gotiating between the United
States government and the owners
of abutting land an exchange Of
their timber for timber elsewhere
on government lands.
This movement was successful
to some extent at least Clear
Lake might be and should be in
cluded in these negotiations. This
beautiful and interesting body of
water is all that your correspond
ent says 1t is.
Raps Martin,
"The efforts of the committee
and its secretary, Mr.. T. H. Mar
tin. in collision with the officials
of the interior department have
for the past year or two been
wholly absorbed in the promotion
of a private monopoly of all forms
of traffic within the park includ-
ing public highways. If this COM
mittee and the inner council or
star chamber who rules the Com
mercial club can be made to see
that there is some profit in this
for fow individuals that have Sc
cured the monopoly of Mt. Taco
ma they may help in saving Clear
Lake.

strip around the lake. If the
state wished to exchange timber
that would be all right with us, IL
it were not that we are already
tied up with logging contracts. II
the logging roads have got into
that neighborhood, as l rather
think they have, they cannot leave
a belt of timber, and then come
back for it later in case the ar
rangement were not made. All
the logging must be done at one
time.
"The proposition to leave a mar
row fringe of trees along the edge
of the lake is not practical, in my
opinion. Trees blow over unless
they are in wide enough belt to
protect themselves. The people
around American lake are cutting
trees that were left there, because
they are a menace"

100000 900 pounds OF copper were
