Sends White House
$40 To Get Him
Out OF Jail

Many cranks write to the
White House, but it is seldom
that they send money, advice
being the usual enclosure"
but the attaches got a shock
today when a crisp $40 bank
note dropped out of a letter.
The writer, who lives "out in
the provinces" wrote for some
information as to how he could
get out of jail, where he has
languished since 1917. His
scribblings were rather inco-
herent, and, anyway, the force
is not open to any kind of
bribery, so the money was re-
turned.
It's the first, calh we have
seen in the mail in many
years." said Rudolph Forster,
executive clerk, who is pinch
hitting as "Acting President"
while the Hardings are in Dixie.
