BOND SCALPERS
UNDER SCRUTINY
!. AT WASHINGTON
Brokers Said to Misrepresent
Value to Lower Prices;
Victory Total Reported
$70,623,1W.

Washington. April 26.--The ma
tons total Victory Liberty loan
subscriptions tonight stood at
S70s,62' 100, the officially recog-
nized result of five days of cam
paigning. Little of today's business
found its way into the figures as
given out by the treasury.
At the close OF the first week OF
the fourth Liberty loan campaign,
the time corresponding to tonight
in the Victory loan drive, subscrip-
tons Of $S55,135,000 had been rolled
100000 more than sub
scribed this week. Since the fourth
loan was larger than the current is
sue the percentage at the end OF its
first week was l4.25, whereas 1868
per cent of the Victory issue has
been subscribed.
The ST. Louis district stands first
: in the percentage column, with so
per cent of its quota already sub
scribed and covered with initial in
stallment payments. The Chicago
district ranks second and Boston
third In volume of sales, New York
has $l80000,000, the largest sum,
while Chicago has $l55,338,O00.
Investigate Scalping.
1t developed today that several
government agencies, including the
Department of Justice, the fedora.
trade commission and the treasury
have taken steps looking to inves-
tigation of reports that Liberty
bond scalpers are doing thriving
business in many localities by buy
ing up bonds of past issues at very
low prices. These bond brokers, 1t
has been reported. urge persons to
sell bonds already bought and to
subscribe for the new issue OF Lib
erty notes.
In some cases amateur brokers
have paid as little as $40 and $50
for 500 Liberty bonds, although the
market prices ar all past issues are
above $50. TM investigation has
! been undertaken to ascertain wheth-
= err buyers of these bonds have mis-
represented the market value in an
effort to lower the buying price.
Newspapers were urged again to
publish in prominent position the
market quotations for bonds OF past
issues, as telegraphed to them daily,
to prevent small bond owners from
being mulcted of their savings.
No Brokers Licensed"
Other reports to the treasury are
to the effect that bond buyers IN
large cities advertise that they have
been licensed" by the government
to buy liberty bonds. Officials ex-
planned that no brokers have been
licensed by the government to buy
bonds, and that no formal restrlc-
ions are imposed by the treasury.
In several cities, men have estab-
lished what they call Liberty bond
exchanges" offering to-take Liberty
sbonds in trade for cheap jewelry or
other merchandise.
Prevention of fraud or of sharp
practices in these cases rests large
" with local Liberty loan commit
tees, it was said. since grounds can
not often be found for prosecution
under federal laws

Omaha Negro Brought Back
to Face Murder CHARGE

Ed Anderson, alias Cal Collins,
negro, who killed Beatrice Bradd,
his common-law wife, on the after
noon of April 8, with a knife, was
brought to Omaha last night from
Kansas City.
Detective Chief Dunn discovered
that Anderson was working in Kan
sas City and wired police there to
arrest him. Detectives Pszanowski
and Murphy were sent for Anderson
and succeeded in getting a confess
sion from him although the prison.
err stoutly maintained at the time of
his arrest that he had never been
in Omaha.
A new light was thrown on An
derson's escape by his confession.
Anderson told of the fight in the
Bradd woman's home, 61o North
Fourteenth street, on April 8 and
how he stayed that night in Coun-
Gil Bluffs in a box car. The next
day he went to the Morris Pack
ing company in South Omaha, he
says, and collected $3.50 lue him
although the Morris police depart
ment had promised to hold him for
Omaha police if he should turn up
there for his money.
Anderson then went back to
Council Bluffs, staying there over
night again and leaving the next
morning for St. Joseph. After
working four days in St. Joseph he
says he went on to Kansas City.

in his written confession. Il didn't

Ny own experience with the

similar nature. Acting for the

my own have also been in vain.
1t has been rather a favorite pose
with the postmaster general to
appear as a high-minded person,
generous and sympathetic with
his employees. Always, however,
this sympathy has been defined
by him to mean that if any one

one with that ancient and long

most reactionary and brutal en-
ployers still endeavor to deal with
the workers as individuals.
In the case of the Post Office
department., however, where the
employees are scattered throughout
the United States, such an atti-
tude as that assumed by the post
master general becomes not only
ridiculous and preposterous, but

Mr.. Burleson's troubles can not
successfully be laid by him at the
doors of those whom he may as
sumo are his enemies for political
purposes only because their source
is in something deeper. Mr..
Burleson's troubles arise from the
fact that he has attempted with
singular zeal to carry out an
archaic, autocratic policy in the
conduct of the postal, telegraph
and telephone services of the
United States. Any postmaster
general who will follow the same
policy will inevitably face the
same public condemnation and
eventually walk the same plank
that Mr.. Burleson must walk,
