Bogard Had
Another Record

Milo Bogard was collecting money
as executive director of the League
of Loyal Americans, Inc, with head
quarters at 40 Broadway. The league
was organized for the alleged purpose
of promoting patriotism among young
men throughout the country.
Bogard agreed to retire from work
soon after he admitted to representa-
tiyes of the District Attorney that
picture No. 1888 in the Rogues' Gal
lery at Police headquarters strangely
resembled him. According to record,
Bogard was sentenced in 1880 to three
years in the Chester penitcntiarv. of
Illinois, for larceny.
The imposing letterhead of the
league included on its advisory board
the name of Major General Leonard
Wood. Charter members listed we're
Elihu Root, Robert Bacon, Cornelius
Vanderbilt James W. Gerard and
others.
In November, 1917, another impor-
tant arrest WAS made N tho person of
Jules H. Ford, alias Doc Waterbury, al
legged confidence man, on the charge
that he was ostensibly collecting
money for soldiers books designed to
give them working knowledge of
French. When arrested he said that
he came from one of the best families
in the state, and had the best wife in

Citizens complained to the District

courts charged with using the mails
to defraud. He admitted employing

cities have solicited funds in New York
City for so called "war charities"
Many are now serving prison sentences.
Patriotic societies sooner or later
branded as takers have been and are
still sprlnging UP over night. In many
cases the names bristle with patriotism
and sentiment. In most cases the more
imposing and sonorous the name, the
more nefarious the charity.
The folly of promiscuous giving TO
persons soliciting money on the streets
cannot be too strongly emphasized. The
law forbidding such solicitations is
seldom applied in war time to
check any reasonable charity activ-
ity. Every day the citizen is con-
fronted on the city streets with urgent
pleas to relieve some pressing need Of
war sufferers. Sometimes the request
rolls glibly from the tongue Of fair
solicitor. Sometimes it is almost un~
,ntelligible. The manner of the sup
plant is now obsequious, now impcri-
GUS, sometimes threatening.
