BIG RETURNS PROMISED TO ALL THOSE INVESTING
Scheme Involves Sending Of 10000 Cases Of Booze
 To New World Monthly

LONDON, July 2S.-Lieut. Col. Sir Broderick Hartwen Bart. former British army officer, has issued a circular inviting subscriptions of $l2.50 Or over for whisky selling expedition on the high seas. accord ing to the London Daily Express.

 The baronet states he has already arranged for 5000 cases. and guar antees to return money invested plus 20 per cent interest within 50 days.
 The minimum investment (Sl2.50) purchases one case of whisky m bond, not subject to tax, as it is for foreign consumption.
 The circular carries an illustration of a newspaper telling how British skipper made S1,00O,0OO selling whis- ky on the American coast.
 Sell 10000 Cases Monthly.
 It states that Hartwen has re- ceived a guaranty of $50000 that the goods will be accepted and paid for 20 miles from the shore of the un- named destination, and declares that he plans to send abroad a least 10000 cases monthly.
 This means a large fortune in which you can participate without risk" it declares.

 Tt amounts to this. l nm setting up d wholesale whisky shop on tine high seas. The profits to the inves- tor will be 20 per cent within GG days
 The story is expected to create a sensation, and undoubtedly will raise an issue in Commons next week.
