Mr.. Lee told one amusing result.
A customer complained that drip

that the league always took the
greatest care to see that there was
no shortage in shipments, and if the
consignee would shake up the eX-
celsior in the bottom of the box
he undoubtedly would find the miss
ing object.
After a years fight, the Vigilance
Committee obtained a conviction,
and sent the head of the league to
prison.
Another man formed company
ostensibly to build tractors, using the
name Ford, for Henry Ford was at
that time said to be contemplating
marketing a tractor. The swindler
picked up a telephone book, ran
down the list of Fords until he found
machinist. He called on this man
and told him that he had been highly
recommended and that he wanted
him to superintend the construction
of the first machine. The machinist
had an easy time at high pay for a
few weeks, dropping in on the head
of the company to make suggestions
once in a while. When the first trac-
tor was nearing completion, the
swindler told him that his work had
been so valuable that it had been de-
cided to name the machine for him,
and got him to sign a paper permit
ting this use. When this paper Was
signed, he soon disappeared from the
payroll, and the stock selling began

LEAGUE OF AUTO

AID Vigilance Committee
Catches Up With Con-
hdence Men

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-(By AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Ingenious use of
advertising schemes by "get-rich-
quick men are being run down by
the National Vigilance Committee of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World, which keeps a corps of
men at this work almost constantly.
Richard ii. Lee, special counsel of
the committee, who supervises the
work, tells many stories of conf
dence men and the methods used to
combat and convict them.
One man, he says, formed a league
Of automobile users. The league is
sued price list of accessories, all
quoted less than possible for the
manufacturer to make them. When
member ordered an article, anoth-
er was substituted and circular let
ter explained that because of the
great demand, the factory was behind
in its orders. In some cases the sub
stitution was attributed to the rare
ness of the object desired. The sub
stitute was cheap affair, made for
the head of the league, but the mem
Der was satisfied, temporarily at least,
by the explanation that while its
price was higher than that ordered,
the league would sell it to him for
the same sum
This man built up a good reputa-
ton by means of preferred" Gus
toners, whom Mr.. Lee describes as
"plants" who innocently furthered
the designs of the swindler. A group
of these men was established in each
town where the league did business.
Surgeons Experience.
AS an illustration, Mr.. Lee cites
the case of one of the most promi-
nent surgeons in an Ohio city, who
was persuaded to join the league.
He bought a tire, which an agent OBJ
tanned from local dealer at the US
ual price, and then held until the
proper time had elapsed for ship
ment from headquarters. The doctor
was delighted. In a few days the
agent dropped around to see him and
asked how the tire was holding up.
On inspection the agent found an
imaginary flaw, and insisted upon re-
placing the tire with a new one
also bought at the usual retail price.
He left the supposedly defective tire,
saying that the doctor could use it
as "spaIe," and refused further
payment.
'If you really feel so grateful,
DOCTOR" he said, write the Old Man
