Crooked Brokers
Prey on Holders
OF Liberty Bonds
Loan Investors Lured to
Wildcat Stocks, Swami
Finds

Prosecutor Opposes Publish

Each District
Seeks McAdoo's Aid

District Attorney Swami, in reply to
J. Price Jones, of the Liberty Loan
Committee, as to the extent to which
crooked brokers have swindled holders
of Liberty Loan bonds, said yesterday
that many of the 500 complaints which
he has received in the last week assert
ed that holders of Liberty bonds have
actually given UP their bonds to pur-
chase wildcat stocks.
Mr.. Swami asked Mr. Jones to use
his influence with Secretary McAdoo
to do away with the proposed list of
buyers Of bonds in each district, be-
cause, Mr.. Swami said, this list would
fall into the hands of dishonest brokers.
Worthless Stock Floated
Mr.. Swann's letter said:
Comp laints from investors indicate
that the f1otation Of worthless stock is
attracting capital which would ordi-
narily be invested in legitimate enter
prises and especially in Liberty bonds.
Taking full advantage Of the psyche
logical moment for interesting the
American public in war munitions cor
porations, anti-aircraft inventions and
bogus mining and oil propositions, fly
by-night promoters and crooked brok-
ers are not only inducing the public to
surrender their Liberty Loan bonds for
worthless stock all over the country.
but are advising the innocent investors
that they are performing a patriotic
duty by purchasing these stocks instead
of investing in Liberty Loan bonds.
81 have photograph of letter to
an investor advising that the Liberty
Loan was good investment for the
wealthy but not for the wage Garner
or middle class citizen, and urging the
purchase of worthless stock. The cx-
tent of their operations cannot be esti-
mated. except to state that many Of
last week refer to the fact that Liberty
bond holders did actually give up their
bonds and purchase stock in wildcat
schemes.

81 Puritani" was sung at the Metro
politan yesterday afternoon before a
with Nine. Barrientos, Nine. Perrin,
Mr.. Lazaro. Mr.. De Lucca and Mr..
Mardones in the chief parts and Mr..
Moronzoni conducting. All the artists
were in good voice and Mr.. Lazaro
sang his music better than at the pre-
vious performances. When he learns
that D flat does not grow in effective
ness by mere length of breath and
power Of propulsion he will sing better
still. Mr.. Moronzoni gave an admirable
reading Of the score.
In the evening "L'Amorc del ire Re"
was sung, with Giovanni Martinelli as
Avito for the first time in New York.
Mr.. Martinelli gave romance to the
part and sang the music with fervor.

SYSTEM OF FREE LOVE.
Cardinal Gibbons Says Increase OF
Divorce Threatens Republic.

divorce is becoming so prevalent
in the United States that marriage Is
getting to be little better than sys-
tenn of free love-" declared Cardinal
Gibbons, Archbishop Of Baltimore, ana
recognized as the mouthpiece OF the
Catholic church in America.
THE extent of the divorce evil is so
great as to strike at the very root or
our social system. | myself am
writing and speaking constantly IN
this subject and l am in sympathy with
any movement to check the growth OF
divorce in this country.
Government figures show that
divorces are multiplying about three
times as fast as the population. They
disclose that one marriage in twelve
results in divorce. The figures are the
more striking when considered by the
side of the figures of Canada, for in
stance, where the number of divorces
is relatively small.
"People are too much bent on pleas
ure Men and women enter the mar
riage state without regard to the
sacred nature of the bond they are
undertaking. The divorce evil is a re-
suit of the false, loose Interpretation
of the gospel. Everyone of the Cos
is to be checked there must be a
stricter regard for the truths Of the
Christian religion as they are taught
by the Catholic church. If we profess
to be Christians, let us be Christians.
Another reason why divorce is on
the increase is found in the attitude of
society towards persons who are
divorced. In former times a woman
who was divorced was Stunned. She
was not received or recognized in good
society and was frowned upon. Now
this is not the case. II divorce is to
be checked let the divorced person De
summed"
The great divorce evil against which
Cardinal Gibbons so eloquently pleads
is graphically yshown in the William
Fox perturbation of The Blindness of
Divorce" exposing social conditions of
today, which will be shown at the Isis
theatre, commencing today.

Rice Flour and Rice Polish.

The question of grinding flour from
rice was recently discussed by con.
ference of rice millers in Louisiana.
They decided that rice flour does not
possess sufficient merit to justify its
manufacture ON a large scale. Rice
flour is not complete substitute for
wheat flour because it lacks gluten.
1t can be mixed with wheat flour in
conservation bread. There is a real
opportunity, however, to broaden the
market for what is known as "rice
polish" This is the product Of the
brushes used In polishing rice when
it's brown coating is removed to pro-
duce the familiar white rice Of COM
merce. Rice. polish has been sold
chiefly for stock feed, but 1t Is high
ly concentrated food, more nutritious
than rice itself because 1t contains
valuable chemical ingredients from the
surface of the grain.-Syracuse Post
