Argen tinian Sought By
 Police

Ruenos Aires, April 21.-The Argen- tine police. at the instance or tIIe
 Tinted States Consulate, are search ing for an Argentine using the name of CIustavo David Lacaze who, they say, has been trying to induce well-to-
 do reside erts of the United states uo
 aid him financially
 The consulate has turned over 10
 the police statements asserting that 'Iacazc" wrote HatterS to persons Tn
 New York. St. Louis, Milwaukee, In
 oue-third of $ fortune of $4SO,OOO, or
 which he said $2S0,000 was on de-
 posit in the United States, in return
 for aiding him to recover the money
 ard rroviding for his daughter attend . ing an Argentine college. The balance
 of the morlsy was in Brazil
 He is understood to have represen- led himself as banker of Rosario serving q jail sentence after convic- ton Sof fraudulent bankruptcy and to have said that the documents py which his fortune could be recovered l.werc in a secret pocket of a handbag lin the possession of the court which could be rcde ened iby the payment of expenses of the trial and the line which had been imposed upon him. He asked the recipients to com municate by cable with his agent in Buenos Aires and, meanwhile to guard his secret. The letters were written
 in fairly good English.
 Nearly q score of letters and cables from the United States inquiring about acaze have since been received by the consulate, one from a, New Yorker who had first communicated by cable with ''LacaZeS agent for details and cO,-robation of IacaZa'S story, and re- ceived a reply containing what pur- ported to be court documents showing Lacaze's arrest, trial and sentence. The New Yorker, apparently con-
 vinced, thereupOn sent the documents
 or. to the consulate, requesting Consul
 General Robertson to do all possible
 for LacaZe. send his daughter to New
 York and draw upon him for the ex-
 penSas.
 The consulate was told by the Ar
 genuine authorities that no such man
 as Lacaze is in jail. that the court
 documents are clever forgeries and
 that this scheme has been used so
 many times in years past to swindle
 Argentines. that it was supposed to be
 quite out of date. The agent has disappeared from the address given in Lacaze'S letters,

JAIL TERM A
SOCIAL SUCCESS
By Associated Press,

San Juan. Porto Rico. Mar. l.
George r. Stanton, for many
years chief of police of Porto
Rico. has just served a sentence
of 4S hours in jail for contempt
of court. He refused to appeal
TO President Harding to set
aside the sentence. which had
been imposed by. Federal Judge
Odlin.,
The contempt charge was bas-
ed on Il letter Mr.. Stanton had
written to the Judge asking for
an order TO destroy some OF the
evidence which had disappeared
after the inSular police had made
arrests and seized liquor in Vol
stead cases.
Although Judge .Odlin gave
Stanton until March Is to en-
able him co appeal to the preSi
dent. the former chief decided To
take his medicine instead OF ask
ing for presidential favor.
The San Juan Times says he
received 600 callers while in Jail
and refers To his term there a>
"A social success" Among his
visitors in prison was Governor
Reilly who. with other citizens
and officials, had vainly petition
ed. Judge Odlin to remit the SEN
tetnce. Stanton was met at the
Jail entrance by scores OF friends
who escorted him To his home.
He was captain OF Roosevelt'S
Roughriders in 1898 and after
ward served with General Wood
III Cuba. President Roosevelt
sent him 10 the Canal Zonc As
chief Of police to clean zip the
zone i'll the early construction
DAYS and Is years ago he was
sent TO Porto Rico to take COM
mand of the 700 policemen COM
posing the insular police force.
Shanton's counsel told Judge
Odlin, in making a plea in his
behalf, that the insular police
had seized 10000 gallons of Ii
quors and made $500 arrests in
Nolstead cases.
