AN OLD SWlVDLE
NOW FLOURHHES
Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 29-The old
swindle of passing currency notes
Of the Confederate States Of Amer
lea which has been worked in Eng
land for years, is flourishing again.
Reports Of the victimization OF shop
keepers at ports have been reaching
the American embassy here IN in
creasing numbers recently.
A ticket seller at one of the big
London railway stations gave Swiss
waiter eleven English pounds for a
$50 Confederate note but became sus-
picious before the waiter had gone
far and had him detained. The po-
lice were in dilemma as they could
not distinguish the note from good
American money and finally had to
appeal to the Swiss embassy.
The Swiss said he obtained the
note from an American but declined
to say how much the transaction cost
him. The police believed his story
that he had acted in good faith with
the ticket seller.
The police say this swindle runs
in waves cropping up every few
years but that at present it is being
perpetrated on a larger scale and
more successfully than heretofore,

CASE AGAINST
BLUEBEARD WEAK
Testimony Completed Against Henri
Landru In Paris Recently
Judge Baffled,

PARIS, Sept. 29-The "prelimin.
airy. investigation" In the case of Hen
ri Landru, whom the police refer tc
as the Gambais Bluebeard and hold
responsible for the disappearance OF
eleven women to whom he had prom
ised marriage, has just been conclud-
ed. 1t has lasted 18 months.
All the documents in the case,
ammounting to over five thousand,
have been turned over to the Prose-
cutor General of the Republic by
Judge Bonin, who conducted the pre-
liminary investigation. The judge
Immediately left for a delayed vaca-
ton. He was accompanied by the
good wishes Of Landru, who told the
Judge that 1t had been great COM
fort to him to make his acquaintance
and that he hoped the feeling was
mutual
Landru has consistently refused to
answer the questions of Judge Bonin
and has made the investigation as
difficult as possible for the Magis-
trate.
1t is the feeling in court house cir
cles that the case against Landru Is
weak and much doubt is being ex-
pressed as to the chances Of convict
ion for murder against him. The II
women have simply vanished into
thin air. The "corpus deliciti" Is
lacking in the case. Bones were found
in the villa occupied by Landru at
Gambais and the prosecutor will con-
tend they are human bones but the
defense will call experts to swear they
are rabbit, lamb, and dog bones.
Landru is confident of acquittal and
IS already considering offers from
moving picture concerns in the event /
If his being freed.

GREENWOOD LEFLORE WEDNESDAY
|. ". ". PLANNING
CAMPAIGN SOUTH
Letter From Secretary Treasurer Ex.
plains Plans Of Organizing
The South.

We reproduce below copy of
letter given to this office yesterda,
and shows just what activities the
W. w. are carrying on in this sectio,
OF the country and is a warning fo
our people to be on a close outlook Al
to their agitation. 1t looks as /
they have several "fellow workers
In the South. Such action on thei
part would be a great detriment t,
this section. The letter reads as fol
lows:
"Fellow Worker:
Il have your two letters of recent
date, and am glad to hear from you
and note what information you re-
quest ,and in reply to your inquiries
| ana at liberty to state that the gen.
eral executive board has been con-
sidering plans for a general recruiting
to be made in the south in the near
future. However, at this time can
not say definitely just when this cam
paign will be put into operation, it
being dependent on the time required
by the general executive board to per-
feet said plans to such an extent as
to insure success Of the movement.
ave now have several fellow work
ers in several sections of the south
who are keeping us advised as to con.
ditions and situations, and we are
now sending fellow worker to make
his headquarters in Texas, and he
will endeayor to agitate and organ
ize the workers of the different in
dustrial plants, lumber mills and re-
fineries in that state, and as our
progresses or results just
ify we will send other delegates.
Have Delegate in Arkansas.
ut is eur intention to secure the
services of a Mexican delegate, as
we are advised that Mexican labor
is largely employed in the state of
Texas; therefore we must agitate,
workers and organize this class of
workers to keep them from being tools
in the hands of the employing class,
to combat organization. We now
lave delegate in Arkansas, who re-
,orts good progress and we will
shortly send a colored delegate to
louisiana and Mississippi.
"The entire hisory of our organ
cation is one Of struggle and sacri-
Ice and in our movement now in
he south we must be very conserva-
i've so as not to be forced into pre-
nature conflict with the employing
lass, because by such we would be
laying in to the employers hand as
e can frame and discharge workers
and in most cases re-
,lace every man one by one, thus
hutting out our membership; there
ore, we must stick tight and agitate
md organize every spare moment, to
ret the other fellow into the union,
o that our chances for success may
e assured. All the world is now
lamoring for organization, so let us
ave it now" 7
