FORTUNES ARE
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

LONDON, July 10. Correspondence
of the Associated Press, )-The' enor-
nous fortunes made in England during
the war are responsible for record
breaking prices which sellers of an
tiques of every kind are realizing in
London auction rooms, in the opinion
of men who have long been close to
the trade. The whole country is being
searched for treasures Of all kinds,
which find ready sale at prices which
hitherto have only been paid by for
eigners.
A mysterious portrait, which recently
appeared in one auction room and was
said by someone to have been by Franz
Halls, quickly brought $4,000, although
the authenticity has even now not been
established. A Reynolds portrait, which
to the present had not attracted much
attention, was easily sold for $4,000,
brought phenomenal prices.
Artistic furniture is in even more de-
mand. Six Chippendale Gothic chairs
recently sold at a country sale for
5 ,125, in spite Of the fact that modern
artists are copying this particular de-
trained expert can detect the differ
ence. At another country sale two
Chippendale tables brought $1,000 and
a Chippendale cabinet IS, $50.
Sheraton furniture is not so popular,
excellent tables going as low as 500.
An old harpsichord in a William and
Mary case sold for s., 500, and a grand
fathers clock gave its fortunate owner
$500, in spite of the fact that the clock
had probably ceased to tick more than
a hundred years ago.
Illuminated manuscripts also are in
demand, and, as in the case of furni-
ture, record prices are being obtained.
Letters of David Garrick and a few
by his wife to noted persons OF their
time caused spirited bidding. but were
withdrawn and will be offered again,
Efforts to trace the purchasers Of
some of the choicest offerings have
revealed the presence in the market
of persons who never before paid any
attention to antiques. Many of them
are persons who accumulated large for
tunes during the war, and now that
they have acquired fine houses. have
set out, with the aid of experts. to

CONFIDENCE MEN
REAP RICH HARVEST
SO, 900, 900 Was Taken
From Dupes Last Year De-
clare Chicago Experts.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The American
confidence man reaped a harvest Of
more than $40, 900, 900 last year, accord
ing to figures compiled by Chicago
authorities. This is the approximate
amount actually collected from the
credulous public by professional con-
fidence operators and does not include
the millions gathered in annually by the
various stock jobbing schemes.
The crude devices of the old-time
confidence man, with his shell game,
three-card monte, gold brick, green
goods, money changing and lemon
games, have given way to modern
methods, more complex and more
profitable.
The really successful confidence men
of today usually a summer and win
ter homes, ride in limousines and are
aided by richly gowned women, author
tiles say. They are educated and far
more clever than their brothers of old
days, whose ~favorite trick in Chicago
was to sell the Masonic temple to a
'rube' for a small sum, or agree to
make the building turn around"
Land selling schemes, %peddling OF
worthless mine and oil well stock, wire
tapping and fake" sporting events
are now the hand maidens Of the
modern confidence man, who matches
wits with the banker, capitalist and
lawyer, instead OF dealing with the
ignorant ruralite. Nearly all the VIC
TINS of a Chicago gang recently sent
to the penitentiary were bankers and
business men. The gangs loot aggre-
gated more than half a million dollars
a year.
Fear of publicity keeps most victims
quiet, thus giving the high-class con-
fidence man a certain degree OF i'm
munity, authorities say. They add hat
federal prosecution for using the mails
to defraud has been a big factor in
breaking up gangs and recently brought
about conviction of half a dozen lead
ing confidence workers.
Tom Brown, who came from Detroit
and made his headquarters in New
York, was father of the present type Of
confidence man." said William A. Pin
kerton, veteran detective, in striking a
comparison between the old and new
swind .ers. He operated SO years ago
and formerly was a three-card monte
man. He was known as a bunco steerer
and won by fake lottery schemes and
| other crooked gambling devices. Then
he invented the gold brick with which
| he toured the country. The green goods
game came later and Brown had many
imitators who picked up thousands an
| nually. Wire tapping and other schemes
now used developed from those old
games. The modern operators don't
bother with small money and often
clean up 500, 900 in a single deal. The
old timers thought 81, 900 a big Job,
Victims are not really honest at
| heart, for they often enter into a
| scheme to cheat another fellow. The
| small town banker and business nan
| has proved a shining mark for swim
dlers. Thesy cannot risk their reputa-
lions by complaining. 1t is surprising
how many shrewd business men fall
into the net
1t is estimated that $4,000, 900 OF the
$40, 900, 900 total was obtained in Flor
ida, where hundreds of confidence
workers are said TO operate, particular
ly among winter tourists.
