USING THE MAILS
TO DEFRAUD
THE LEADER REPORTS TO POST.
MASTER MOORE SHADY GAME
AND TWO MEN ARRESTED.
Were Supposed to Conduct Civil
Service School and Wanted An
AID In The Leader.

Some time ago THE LEADER received
postal card from Milwaukee with a
request to publish notice to the eff
feet that persons wishing to take the
civil service examination should ad-
dress a certain box at the Milwaukee
postoffice.
The card did not ring true, and was
turned over to Postmaster Moore with
the request that the alleged civil SER
vice school should be investigated
Mr.. Moore sent the card to Washing
ton, after the proper identification
marks had been made by THE LEADER,
and an investigation, which appears to
have been thorough, was instituted.
Two men, whose names we are at
this time unable to give, have been ar
rested and indictments against them
by the United States grand jury have
been returned charging using the
mails to defraud.
They are now being held in the
Milwaukee Jail and will be tried in
the United States court in that city.
Their chances to linger for period
in the penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth are alleged to be first class.

Rev. Lord Gave Highly Entertaining
Talk on "Untainted Americanlsm."
Mrs. Eberle Also Talks.

The reception and banquet given
by the Mems club of st. PauPs Epls-
copal church at the Commercial hotel
Thursday evening was a pleasant end
ing of the clubs winter activities, ana
those present enjoyed the evening
listening to the distinguished speak
ers.
Bishop Webb, bishop of the Milwau-
kee diocese, spoke to the sixty per-
sons who had gathered explaining in
detail the great good which Is being
accomplished for the church in the
University Of Wisconsin chapel. On
the subject of the chapel he left moth
ing to the imagination, and admon-
ished his hearers to extend it their
support.
The bishop also gave information
on the clergy pension fund which is
being raised, telling his hearers that
Of the $5,000,000 subscription asked,
S2.50O,000 was subscribed in three
weeks, and there was no doubt but that
the remainder could be supplied in a
short time.
He complimented the club on their
organization and plan of work and
entertainment, and expressed his
pleasure at being one of the clubs
guests.
Another prominent churchman to
address the club was Rev. Arthur
Lord, pastor of st. James in Milwau-
kee Rev. Lords theme was "Untaint-

subject in a most mastery manner
An untainted American, he insisted
did not necessarily fulfill his patriotic
mission in the singing of America, nor
serving his country on the battle field
and enacting heroic deeds; he had
certain obligations to society and those
obligations conscientiously performed
and carried through life were the
foundation work and enduring monu-
ment which produced the untainted
American.
The last speaker was Mrs. H. T
Eberle, whose talk dealt with local
topics, and which was enthusiastically
received.
After the banquet and speaking
there was reception held in honor
of the bishop in the hotel lobby, where
he greeted personally all those who
attended.
While this was last gathering OF
the Mems club FOR the winter sea-
son, it by no means will end their en-
joyable gatherings, for preparations
are now forming for several pleasant
outings and other forms of social en-
tertainment during the coming sum
