chasm of Peachtree street the light

ENGLAND STIRRED
BY FRAUD WORKERS

LONDON, Sept. 5.-London society
has been stirred by the revelation that
some of its titled and most prominent
members have unwittingly been lend
ing their names to fraudulent war
charity organizations. The names of
the frauds and of the leaders of Eng
lands aristocracy who served on COM
mittees were not given out by the gov
eminent committee which made the
disclosures.
Following close on the heels of the
report the founder of war fund was
arrested, speedily convicted and SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment at
hard labor for converting its money to
his own use. In passing sentence the.
court condemned widely known per-
sons who had allowed their names to
be used on dummy committees"
Rumors that all was not straight in
the affairs of many of the charity"
organizations which have sprung up
since the outbreak of the war were
heard early this year and resulted in
the appointment of the committee. Its
report bristles with stories of fake
charities, astounding proof of the guilt
hility of mankind, and the case where
with distinguished persons may be
trapped into lending their names to
what is described as organized rog
uery."
The report, for instance, refers 20
one charity that published no accounts,
to another with a merely nomina!
committee, to a third whose balance
sheet fails to account for quarter OF
a million dollars, to a fourth started
by an undischarged bankrupt, to a fifth
that was the invention of a foreign
swindler. To all these the public gave
freely.
THE favorite dodge" sage the re
port, lis really to expend the major
part of the sum collected on the nom
inal object of the charity and only
steal twenty or thirty thousand
pounds"
After calling attention to the reck-
lessness of titled and prominent pee
PIE in lending their names to these
fake charities, the committee recon-
mends state supervision throughout
registration of charity funds.
But" says the Daily Mail, that IS
not enough. First let us have the title
of the bogus charities or the names of
their treasures. Titled and prom
inent people who lend their names in
this way place vicious and contemp-
tible blot on our social system, and it
would do world of good if the names
of these dummy patrons were publish
ed along with the frauds they have
helped to foster"
Many promoters have found the war
charity gilt-edged investment, the
Daily Sketch deduces and adds: There
are certain men and women in society
who think that they have fulfilled most
of their obligations to charity by allow
ing their names to go on every COM
rnittee which writes to them"

CUB WORK ON BASES FATAL IN
SECOND GAME
BY Mark Shields

by Mark ShIeloS
Candidate Charles Evans Hughes,
the human hammer, is to see the
opening game of the worlds series.
Charles should cool the heated pas
sions of the partisan fans. We figure
he will root for Brooklyn, that club
being known as the Dodgers. And
we can imagine Charles Evans in the
stand sitting next to another Brook
Ign rooters when the Dodgers are at
bat. Our imagination reveals:
Brooklyn has a man on first base.
None are out. Manager Robinson
gives the batter signal to sacrifice.
Charles Evans never let's out a peep.
He waits for the result of the judg-
ment of the man who had to make a
decision and direct matters. The
batter, trying to bunt, pops weakly
to the pitcher and the runner is dou-
bled off first.
Then Charles Evans uses his ham,
mer in practiced fashion. THE play
was fundamentally wrong" he
bowls. Manager Robinson should
have first Investigated and deter
mined what the results of this play
would have been. stand for batting
first and batting efficiently. This was
an abject surrender to the Red SOx
team"
But what should he have done?"
queries the other Brooklyn rooter.
Should Robbie order the hit-and-
run? What would you have done?"
81 would have protected the inter-
ests of my club" answers Charles
Evans. 81 would have protected the
interests Of my club"
But just how he would have done
so remains a mystery to the second
Brooklyn rooter,
Having found a club that runs
bases worse than they do themselves,
the White Sox are enjoying these
beautiful autumn days and have
their hearts set on the winners share

PAPER PRICES
REPORT Coming
Federal Trade Commission to
Publish Newsprint Findings
in October.

1t was announced yesterday that
the Federal Trade Commission will
publish not later than October /, re-
gardless of whether Congress is in
session or not. its report on the in
vestigation being conducted relative
to newsprint paper prices. A brief,
in all probability. will be given out
two weeks in advance of the report,
summarizing its findings.
In the opinion of the government
authorities the newsprint paper fam
inc, which has threatened the United
States and which has already caused
a severe loss to newspapers in ad-
vertising and circulation, will not
reach a crisis until October Reports
to the commission from all available
sources are used as a basis for this
opinion.
The commission is making an ex-
haustive investigation of testimony
offered at the hearing. under instruc-
tions from Congress, for the purpose
of showing whether or not there is a
conspiracy among manufacturers to
curtail the supply.
Whether the increased demand for
paper has been entirely dispropor-
tionate to the increased production
is one of the great questions which
arise in deciding il there has been
collusion among the manufacturers to
boost prices unduly. Manufacturers
claim that publishers are using 20
per cent more paper than ever before.
Consumption figures presented to the
commission. however, vary widely
