Conspiracy Seeks to Induce

The blue sky" promoter has bobbed
up in a new disguise in the United

induced to sink at least 500, 000, 00C

municipal boAds of some of the bank
rupt countries of central Europe.
Discussed by Cabinet.
President Harding and his Cabinet,
sensing the dangers involving to Amer
lean investors. who unwittingly might
be dragged into the net of the schem-
ers, today were considering measures
to suppress this new form of fraud by
warnings which will render the op-
erations Of the promoters unsuccessful.
The United States mails today were
flooded with circulars Of alleged New
York brokers, acting for and encour-
aging the Investment brokers" abroad,
offering to sell American investors Po-
lish municipal bonds, for what pur-
ports to be song"
The Polish proposal, when analysed,
was shown to be nothing short of a
fraud, although there is some doubt

II q fraud order is not issued by the

that the Secretary of the Treasurer
will issue to the public a warning to
be on guard against this and similar
efforts to deplete the American pocket
book.
Unless some miracle occurs in the
foreign financial situation, close stu
dents asserted today that in many OF
the countries so eager to float their
minor securities, and get American
gold for them, there is little hope OF
any rise in the value Of the currencies
there. The probability Is, they say,
that with money presses running at
break-speed abroad. some currencies
are more likely to be deprecated.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
today, commenting on the Polish
bond proposal said:
"One might as well gamble on the
weather, as to figure when there
will be rise in the value OF Polish
currency.

carefully. 1t is my purpose to pro-

Secretary Mellon held aloof from
expressions that would give hope
Of early Improvement in some of the
foreign currency values. He sug-
gested, however, that out OF the COM

may come something that will lead
to financial sterilization.

This is regarded I'm some quarters
as possible form of defense in

need for air forces to guard the
ships against hostile air bombers,
with the idea in mind that a superior
air force for either side could drive
off the enemy's planes.

The Navy 1t Is understood, has de-

aerial attack, however, is regarded as

view Is that II is impracticable for a

being prepared from foreign sources
show, they say, that allied nnti-air-

RICHIE LIKES

Willie Thinks Challengers Ex-
perience Will Be Aid to

WEIGHT MAY SLOW JACK
BY TAD.


NEW YORK, June 22.-wi11ie Richie,
former lightweight champion of the
world. intends to take the Carpenter end
of the betting July 2.
In an interview out West the other
day, Willie gave his. reasons. He says
he can't figure Dempsey a 3 to 1 shot
over a good man like Carpenter, when
boxers such as Meehan. Brennan and
Miske were able to stick with him for
awhile.
Dempsey is a good hitter" says Willie.
But when he failed to drop Brennan
In the Garden, l figured he had gone
back a lot. Brennan couldn't box as
the Frenchman four or five times, he is
liable to lose confidence. When he loses
that he forgets his aggressiveness and
is outpointed or dropped for the count.
Carpenter is a good, big man. l saw
him after l fought Welsh on the other
side and he's as game as a pebble. He'll
have to be flattened to lose.
He has more boxing experience than
Dempsey. He's been in the ring twelve
years and it's nothing new to him.
He has no title to defend therefore,
he won't be as worried as Dempsey is
bound to be.
'Dempsey's extra weight will handicap
him July Q If the fight were to a finish,
I'd say the extra weight would help him.
Jeff's extra weight always bothered his
opponents. This is q short distance bout
and Dempsey will need more speed than
weight
Carpenter is a good bet at thosS aSds,
and I'm betting the short end"
