The commission, as a body, will
present a report containing its recon-

crime at an informal dinner meeting
at the Willard tonight.
Members Of the Chicago Crime Com
mission arrived in Washington today
prepared to submit a report on crime
conditions in that city. They were
expected to talk at a general session
thiS afternoon on conditions similar
to that in which an assistant district

New Criminal Cited.
In the meantime. the commission
had before it reports from police
courts of every city with a popula-
tion of 100000 or more, showing that
the hardened criminal is disappearing
and fast giving way to a new type OF
more venal offender, who shoots tC
kill more freely, and who takes
chances the oldtime criminal would
not take.
This type of man, the commission
was told. is younger than the type of
two decades ago. He is between II
and q years of age, carries a gun
constantly and is far more dangerous
than the oldtimer. In addition to
using more deadly weapons. he is a
master of transportation, using swift
automobiles as adjuncts to his bust
ness of murder and robbery.

Deaf Hear by Telephone.
Teaching the deaf to hear" through
their fingers by the use of specially
constructed telephone receiver was
described last night to the National
Academy of Sciences by DR.. Robert
iIdull, pTOleSSOI VI poS StIiOlOSy dl
Northwestern University, who pre-
dicted it would result in the develop
ment of a new art of music for the
deaf.
The apparatus used he said, is a
superior phone transmitter, an am
plifier which magnifies sound vibra-
tionS IT'S times, and a receiver held
in the hand, with the fngertips on
tine diaphragm.
Using such a device, totally deaf
persons have been taught in few
weeks to recognize words and sen
tenceS without sight of the speaker,
Dr. Gault told the academy. Skill
in this method soon resulted in think
ing in terms of touch as normal per
sons think in terms of sound. 1t also
has made possible, he said, the ap-
probation of the rhythm of poetry
which could not be Sensed by any
method of lip.reading.
when this is added to the reading
of the expression of the face of the
speaker it gives 100 per cent more
hearing efficiency than does lip-read-
ing alone" said the speaker, "and 1t
opens the door for the real enjoyment
of speech by the deaf. I venture to

NEW ISSUES FRAUD
ORDER ON PONZ|
Florida Land Scheme Held
Fraudulent and Lottery
After Investigation.

By the Associated Press.
Postmaster General New issued a
fraud order today against Charles
Ponzi, the New England get.rich-
quick promoter, and the Chapron
Land Syndicate, at Jacksonville, Fla,
charging the obtaining of money
through the mails by fraudulent pre-
lenses in a land-selling scheme.
PonZi was before the United States
commissioner at Jacksonville on
March Ia in connection with the land
selling scheme, and promised the com
missioner he would discontinue. The
Post Office Department states he had
not done so, as there are in evidence
circulars mailed by him since that
date.
Declines to Appear.
Solicitor Donnelly of the Post Office
Department /early this month sent
Ponzi and his syndicate "a memoran-
dunn of charges and set April % for
q hearing. POnZi answered the charges
by letter and stated he would not ap-
pear, either in person or by attorney.
Solicitor Donnelly declared he found
the scheme inherently fraudulent in
that it is impossible of execution and
certain other features of the scheme
rendered it a lottery within the mean
ing of the law.
Ponzi in his reply to the charges
declared the scheme had been aband-
oned since February g. but the Post
Office has evidence that operations
have continued since that time.
