SWINDLERS POSING

Washington, Feb. 26.-Taking ad-

the streets of New York and other
cities, swindlers are bleeding relatives
Of American heroes by teIegraphing
writing them in the name Of their
sons, asking for money to come home
on.
This is the same fraud practised
successfully for q short time early i'll

cradle money by communicating with
relatives of soldiers, saying they were

Now the crooks are busy again and
the war department is making de-

he squanders his money, no dis
charged soldier is required to tele-
graph his relatives for funds for
travel to his home. He is paid off
with ample funds for travelling. This
fact should warn all relatives that
kilograms requesting funds be inves-
tigated.
The post office department and the
department of justice will assist the

HASTY MARRIAGES
ARE NOT SO EASY
Famous Little Church Around the
Corner Issues Statement De-
tending Its Position.

New York, Feb. 26.-The Church
of the TRANSPORTATION, often referred
to as the Little Church Around the
Corner, has issued a statement to
dispel the impression that the church
is Il haven for easy maria ges. Here
is the tatement, in part:
The Rev. DR.. George c.. Houghton,
rector of the parish has always in
sisted upon the striCtest rules for the
eligibility of applicants for marriage
For instance, DR.. Houghton has
always refused to marry two parties
either of whom had been divorced or
who had not been baptized, or had
not their parents or guardians con-
sent, even where both parties were
of full age.
despite the rector's strictness, the
American public has associated ruiz
away marriages with the Little
Church Around the Corner, and for
many years this belief survived AS
a matter OF fact this has not been the
case except III three or four instances,
where the parties made false sworn
statements. In actual numbers the
marriages at this parish are no more
than at chief New York churches.
DIR. HOughton is out Of town taking
q rest, but at the offices of the church
it was stated that the announcement
probably was given out by some one
appointed by the rector to issue
statements for the church. no
doubt" said the secretary of the
church, the announcements from
sightseeing buses have prompted DR..
Houghton to issue the statement"
