BLEED BY
OIL FAKE
Promoters Clean Up $780,
100000 Through Mail
Order Frauds.

Wv = ASHINGTON, July 5.-With
w oceans of ink and acres OF
W paper with which they
choke tho United States mails to
send their tons of letters and circu-
lars promising golden wealth to a
half million suckers from Maine to
California, oil promoters now being
tried at Fl Worth, Texas, cleaned
UP no less than $70.00o.000
One cannot realize the enormity of
the fraud until he talks with Chief
Inspector Rush D. Simmons, head of
the Postoff1ce Department investigat-
ing service. whose men worked up
the evidence.
Estimate Is S1OO,OO0,G 600
THAT represents only the amount
OF the money obtained by the first
ninety-two men indicted" Chief Sim
mons said. Our estimate Of the to.
tai amount obtained by Texas fraud
artists was originally 800, 10000, but
further Investigations indicate the
figure may be closer to $3.50, 900. 900. "
The stock promoters began work
several years ago, according to Sim
mons.
There was enough genuine oil pro-
duction in Texas to give color of
legitimacy to their fraudulent enter
rrises." he continued, land crooked
promoters f1ocked there. They often
tied up with some local man."
With perhaps less capital than
would be necessary to start a first
class peanut stand, "millon-dollar" oil
companies sprang into being.
Dividends" Laid Out
So-called dividends" which the
stockholders though were coming from
profits were almost invaribly paid OF
of new stock sales. Frequently the
wise oil promoter sent out fat "divi-
dend" checks as mere bait, urging the
sucker to return this, plus more
money, and get more stock. More
than often the game worked and the
promoter got his dividend back and
some more money as well.
Eventually, the hollow shell Of fraud
and pretext began to collapse by its
