UNCLE SAM BATTLING FAKE OIL STOCK MEN
Department of Justice Man Sent
 To Fort Worth

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Fake e oil stock promoters and other get rich quick operators who have taken $500 900 in easy money in the last year, are about to be rounded up by the department of justice. Mail swindlers have been unusually ac- tive because of prevailing prosperity and high wages.
 Assistant Attorney General John w. Grim has been sent to Fort Worth, Tex. to investigate oil pro motors who operate through the mails from offices there.
 Department of justice officials are oil stock swindlers. Their newest stunt is the merger" operation, by which victims who have bought fake stock are bled a second time. Letters are sent out saying the company has gone broke and turned It's assets over to the "merger'H company and that if the victim wants to realize any thing on his investment, he will have to exchange it for merger stock plus 25 per cent cash.
 Post office officials estimate that s5o0,00o,000 a year Is being picked up through fraudulent use of the mails by these promoters. The na- tional vigilance committee of the As sociated Advertising Clubs of the World piaceS the figure at $oVu,eou,- 900.
 The post office inspectors have gathered evidence in 500 cases in New York, 200 in Chicago, and 130 in Fort Worth. This has been turned over to the department of justice. The Attorney Generals office has be- tween 800 and 900 mall fraud cases ready for prosecution and tho postof- flee department is working on 1,500 trt xrf1l hn al a e soon as sufficient evidence is col

GAS MANTEL PROVES TO BE HIS STARTER
Lithuanian Introduces It In Aus
 tralia And Makes Fortune

SAN FRANCISCO. March 31.-- Twenty years ago Charles Sa- lon. then a 14-year-old Lithuanian boy, landed in Australia. His total ing. a meager knowledge of English. and a small stock of fancy goods provided by relative.
 The other day Charles Salon arrived in San Francisco with some thing like 8 million dollars to his credit in Australian holdings, and plans in his pocket for the purchase of s200,00O worth of machinery to be installed in new Australian fac tories.
 Salons meteoric rise to wealth and influence reads like bit of fiction. Real estate investments brought him the bulk of his fortune. and he Is of Sydney in these lines.
 When he landed in Sydney 27 years ago he took the little stock of fancy goods available and went into the country as peddler.
 Within IS months he had opened that business. and in two years sold out and began a career as represent ative for various firms.
 He introduced the incandescent mantel for gas lighting to Melbourne and Sydney. and quickly accumulated Il iortune when tne AuStrdilaHS took to the new invention.
 Right there I had my first bit of bad luck, and it was my own fault" he said. "The horse races were on and I had money. Well, the usual thing happened. and after the bookies had gathered in my little fortune, was left hard up.
 T ran across a dilapidated little shop next to a prosperous establish ment with woman selling penny sandwiches in the window. It seemed to me that such place didn't belong in that neighborhood.r and I decided that if 1t could be improved 1t would make money.
 T bought the leasehold. repaired and remodeled the store and offices and re-let them at a considerably higher figure.
 That gave me my start in the real estate business-picking up rundown premises. improving them and SC bettering the neighborhood and get ting a good return on my invest ment at the same time. was a pioneer in that sort of thing in Syd- ney, and had that additional ad- l vantage

FOREIGN FARM PESTS
 COST BILLION YEARLY
Two Hours Of Every Days Work On
 Farm Go To Feed Insects

WASHINGTON. March 31.--A bil- lion dollars year is the board bill of uninvited farm and fruit pests which have come to the United States from foreign lands, according tC Chairman c. l.. Marlatt of the federal horticultural board. Two hours of every days work on the farm or in the garden and orchard goes to feed these guests, MT. Marlatt says.
 There are at least 100 major plant pests and many hundreds of minor pests which have been imported, but there are thI usands of other pests, insect and plant. that have not gained entry into the United States and which the federal horticultural board is endeavoring to keep out.
 Fifteen quarantines are being en- forced now, and in connection with these, efforts are under way to eradi- cate the pink bollworm. the citrus canker, and the Parlatoria date scale. The other recently established pests, including the European corn btser, the Japanese beetle, the pine blister. etc.. are recognized now as permanent factors in the agriculture of tse country, and for these, retardation of spread is the only hope left. This eradication and control work is being conducted by the federal horticul- tural board and invt Ives an annual expenditure of upwards of $2,000, 900.

DEATH SENTENCE NUT CARRIED OUT UPON CHURCHMAN
Future Policy of Soviets Is Not Disclosed by
 Official

MOSCOW. March s1.-(By Assc- ciated Press.)-Ths soviet authorities have not carried out the death sen tence against Vicar General Butch kavitch. Commissar of Justice Kurski declared this afternoon.
 The announcement, while clearing away rumors that the prelate had all ready been executed, gave no further official information as to what the final outcome of the case would be.
 The soviet foreign office. replying today to note submitted by Robert NJ. Hodgson. British representative here. appealing for stay of execu- ktion for Vicar General Butchkavitch, Days:
 Russia Is an independent sover- eign state and has the undeniable right of passing sentences in con- formty with it's own legislation on people breaking the laws of the side to interfere with this right and protect spies and traitors to Russia is an unfriendly act and a renewal of the intervention which has been successfully repulsed by the Russian people,"
 Ask Clemency.
 The reply further refers to tele- gram from the Irish republican rep resentative in France. in which 1t was asserted that the republicans also were asking clemency despite "the hypocritical intervention of Great Britain. which Is responsible for the assassination of political prisoners in cold blood in Ireland"
 The Russian reply concluded:
 '1f similar facts which occurred under British rule in India and Egypt are taken into consideration it is hardly possible to regard an ap- peal in the name of humanity and sacredness of life from the British government as very convincing"
 MT. Hodgson, in his note, said he was acting under the instructions of his government to make 'an earnest, final appeal for a stay of execution.
 'I am to submit" he added. "that execution of the sentence cannot fail to produce throughout the civilized world a feeling of horror and indig- nation which the Russian govern ment even from the point Of ma terial interest and apart from other considerations can hardly wish to in- yite."

CADENA MUST DIE
Veteran To Pay Penalty For Texas
 Love Murder

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 31.-- Frank Cadena, World war veteran, must die for the love murder" of his 18-year-o sister-in-law and sweetheart. Pablita Jiminez The court of criminal appeals at Austin Wednesday affirmed Cadena's con- vinction in the district court here.
 Cadena's execution date is yet to be fixed, and whether he will be hanged or electrocuted depends on whether Governor Neff approves the bill recently passed by the legisla- ture substituting the electric chair for the gallows in Texas.
 At the elimination of an unusual love triangle, Miss Jiminez was shot to death as she lay in bed at her home here last April.
 Cadena surrendered, saying he killed the girl, who was his invalid wife's sister, because he loved her tt 70 much. Later he attributed the crime to the fact that infatuation for the girl was taking him away from his wife. whom he did not want to desert. When the case came to trial, Cadena pleaded insanity.
