Three other young men were some
what more lucky in that they may not
face a criminal prosecution, They
started together in business with the
backing OF a wealthy man, but the ex-
penses ran so high that the company
was soon in difficulties, with claimants
olamoring for their paper profits. The
uncle of one of the three youths went
to the rescue, buying up all the claims
through the District Attorneys office.
One widow with three children lost
her savings after dealing with firm,
the members OK which sne had re-
garded as personal friends. They ap-
pearcd to be so while her money lasted,
but after that, she said. when she saw
the woman relatives of the members
of the firm riding in automobiles, never
deigning to recognize her, she tried to
commit suicide. One OF her children
prevented her.
One man reported to the Distric'
Attorney that he had lost $4,000 in
eight months through what he was
convinced We're crooked stock deals.
A policeman who had saved $4,000
lost it all because he was persuaded
by a smart producer" to put up good
securities paying and per cent. as
collateral for securities the hucketing
concern said would return from IA per
cent. upward. He was sold out of his
stock the same day he turned it over
and, so he said, never received a cent
in return. Tg 4
1t would appear from the variety or
the tales told to Mr. Simmons and
others working on the bucketing cases
that every sort of scheme has been
tried on the unsuspecting in the last
year. Some concerns went through all
the formalities which legitimate bro
lxerage houses use, sending confirma-
ton slips and monthly account state
ments, and so on. and, in more than
cne instance, the firm paid "divi-
dends' much after the manner Of
$40 Per Cent. Miller of years ago or
Ponzi The dividends, which were, Of
course, only a small per centage of the
sum invested" continued for a month
OF two and then stopped or the firm
failed, or something else happened
which ended the chance of the GUS
toner ever getting his money back.
Although criminal prosecutions may
follow, there is little likelihood of
those who were fleeced recovering any
substantial part of their losses in cases
i'll which bankruptcy proceedings have
been begun. In many of these cases
the assets range from about $40 to
about $500. In the case Of Kory &
Co., firm which had a membership
on the Consolidated Stock Exchange
and which failed December 6, the la
bilities were $4,000 and the assets
$4,000. According to Sol Levi, attor-
ney for the receiver in this case, the
members of the firm have disappeared.

CUSTOMS MEN SEIZE LITTLE
AUXILIARY SCHOONER WITH
$4,000 BOTTLES ABOARD.

The nerviest attempt at rum run
ming, according to officials, since the
prohibition regulations went into eff
feet was frustrated Friday, says the
New York World, when customs in
>spectors overhauled the twc-masted
auxiliary schooner Victor coming in
through the Narrows. When board
ed by Deputy Surveyor Sanders men
the vessel was found loaded with
Whiskey from keel to hatch covers.
The inspectors estimated there were
al least 5000 packages in the hold,
each containing six bottles of rye
vhiskey, which had originally come
from Baltimore and had been ship
red to the Bahamas. The whiskey
at present prices here is valued at
about 100000.
Half a dozen inspectors dressed as
laborers were cruising about the har-
bor on the watch for possible boot
leggers. They were near Quarantine
when the Victor came through the
Narrows under her engine. The lit
tie schooner-she is an old Gloucester
;dshing smack-to the inspectors SEEM

being several inches below the sur
face.
The customs men hailed her and

the inspectors. They told the cap

directed him to sail it up the harbor,

Capt. Brown told Deputy Surveyor
Sanders that he resided in AID street
Brooklyn, and it was his first trip on

five other men.
Capt. Brown SAID the vessel was
hired to take the Victor to the Ba-
hamas for 4 cargo and then come
north and await further orders off
the Nantucket Lightship. In an in
let off the Bahamas at night, the
cargo was transported tc the Victor
by motor boat. He did not know what
was being placed aboard his vessel.
The next morning he got orders to
make for the Nantucket Lightship.

into New York for repairs an more
