James J. May, acting Judge Advo-
cate General Of the United States

open one.

Upton. Angelic was arrested on Feb
rualy %. on charge Of felonious as
sault on a detective He was admit

Buy Your Farm Now;
Rents Are Going Up

One more powerful argument in ia
vor Of the "back to the farm" move
ment next fall was announced yester
day, when William T. Ropes, president
of the New York Building Managers
Association. declared that, beginning,
next October, there would be at least
a 10 per cent increase in the rents of
apartments throughout the city. His
statement WAS enthusiastically con-
firmed by representatives Of several of
the largest realty concerns in the city.
IN connection with the announcement,
which, if carried out as now planned. is
expected to net landlords at least $50
100000. the explanation was offered
that the property owners do not ex-
pect to realiz, penny Of profit. They
say it will go to pay the increased
taxes and the increased cost of in
surance, COAL labor and supplies.

Crooked Brokers
Prey on Holders
OF Liberty Bonds
Loan Investors Lured to
Wildcat Stocks, Swami
Finds
Seeks McAdoo's Aid
Prosecutor Opposes Publish
ing List of Buyers in
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.

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 tre 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.
