he is TO receive presidential elemency as

Announcement was made officially that
President Harding and Attorney General

Debs along with the other 1877 cases of
so-calle1 political prisoners.
This was the first authoritative an
nouncement that the status of the notel

While Administration officers were un-'
usually careful not TO give any indica-

case, IL was confidently believed here
that Debs is to be freed-either through
an out and out pardon, OF through com
mutation Of the six years that remain
of his original sentence.
President Harding and Attorney Gen

Cat Hunters Get
S10O a Month Salary

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 22.-The British
Columbia Game Conservation Board has
inaugurated campaign against cougars
on Vancouver Island. 1t has offered
hunters S100 a month salary and bounty
of $40 and 500 an animal. If under these
conditions hunter killed cougar day
his monthly income would be between
81 500 and 81, 500. In addition, the hunter
will own the cougar pelts, which are
worth from $40 to $12 at market prices.
Bounties differ according to districts The
bounty is $50 in sheep areas and $40 in
regions in which no sheep are raised.
When Sir James Douglas, of the Hud
sons Bay Company, in 1912 built fort
on CamOsun Harbor. the sire of the pres
ent city Of Victoria, the island was in"
tested with cougars, which in other parts
of the continent are known as panthers,
pumas and mountain lions Then British
Columbia was part of the Hudson Bay
Company's empire. the last vestiges of
which are fast disappearing, as the COM
pany Is selling out its remaining lands
in the prairie provinces to farm settlers.
War was declared upon the big cats in
pioneer times and they were almost ex-
terminated. In recent years they have
increased alarmingly and now are
menace to remote farms. The slaughter
by cougars Of pigs, calves and sheep
cuts a serious figure in a farmers profits.
The present campaign, it Is believed,
will wipe them out. The financial en-
couragements, 1t is said are the largest
ever offered in the history Of North
American wild animals. Not a cougar, it
is expected, will be left alive on Van
couver island III another year.

OLD SWINDLE
IN OPERATION
French People Still Duped by
Ancient Fraud.

- PARIS, Dec. 22.-The famous Spanish
twindle." which has registered its hun
dreds Of victims in almost every civilized
country Of the globe, continues in opera
ton only through the connivance Of the
Spanish police, according to a high
French police official quoted by the
Mstir.
Recently new victims have been regis
tered in Frarce and the police have ap-
peeled to the press to issue fresh warn
irgs-
This scheme Of fraud first made its ap-
pearance In 1871. Suddenly wealthy
business men by the thousands all over
the globe began receiving letters signed
by a person who described himself as
prisoner for debt in a Spanish jail The
tenor Of all the letters was about the
same.
i have a trunk containing a large
amount Of money hidden in 4 certain
place" wrote the prisoner" 1T you
come to Spain and meet one of my friends
whose name you VIII afterward learn and
give him enough money to defray certain
expenses connected with getting the
trunk I win share the treasure with you"
To persons residing in the United
States or far distant countries the Span
ish prisoner" asked that money be
eabled to one Of his friends, promising a
rich reward when he left Jail and re-
gained his trunk
Within a year after the band of
swindlers began operations two Of them
were arrested and deported to the Philip
pines, then a Spanish possession. The
following year fifteen more were arrested,
but since 1873, the French police declare,
not single arrest has been made.
French victims became so numerous
that the minister Of the interior In 1897
caused public warnings to be issued
throughout the country, The French for
eign Office even protested to the Spanish
government at Madrid, but without avail.
The French police now believe that the
swindlers have formed themselves into
Jand so rich and influential that they
control high Spanish prison and police
officials and work without fear.
