C.. late Friday afternoon. and arrested by Postoffice Inspector T. C. Gibbs, of Birmingham and a deputy United States marshal.
 Edward c. Schafer, alias D. Clansen, an associate in the alleged swindling game was also taken at Charlotte hotel and both were lodged in the Mecklenburg county jail, pending a preliminary hearing.
 With this double arrest. Inspectors Gibbs and M. O. Detlie, believe they have broken up one of the shrewdest fraud schemes ever concocted in this section. Sake and Sehafer were doing business in Birmingham as repre- sentatives of the Point of Purchase Advertising association, a $1.000, 1000 corporation with it's home office at York, Pa, and according to the pos tai officers, had offices at 1023-24 Jefferson county bank building since late in November of last year.

 Of Birmingham Merchants

 Provisions for such censorship with strict penalties for violation are contained in the constitution and bylaws of the retail merchants di- vision of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, which has just complet- ed it's permanent organization and is preparing to become an active factor in the business life of the city.
 The new organization begins it's ex- istence with a large and enthusiastic charter membership. A membership committee has been named, and it is confidently expected that almost every retail dealer in the city will eventually affiliate. The announced objects of the new division are: The maintenance of better trade relations among the retail merchants of Bir- mingham, elimination of improper and unethical pratices, encourage ment of friendly intercourse among members and promotion of their mu- tual interests
 A unique feature of the organiza- tion is the plan under which each class of business will be represented on the governing board, by means of an arrangement of groups. When five or more members engaged in the same class of the retail trade or ganize group, then this group is entitled to two directors on the board, which controls the affairs of the division. In this way the division of authority will be kept we'll dis tributed.
