COURT HITS SALES
BY ENDLESS CHAIN
Supreme Tribunal Refuses Review
of Case Appealed From District
by New York Corporation.

Merchandising through the mails by
the endless chain method has been
dealt severe blow by the United
States Supreme Court in denying the
application of the Tibond Sales Corpo-
ration of New York for a writ of GER
tiorari to review the decision of the
Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia sustaining a fraud order"
issued against that concern by the
Post Office Department, it was an
nounced yesterday by Postmaster
General New
Horace j. Donnelly, solicitor of the
Post Office Department, before whom
the case was originally heard, de-
clared the decision has far-reaching ef-
feet and will enable the department to
again protect the public from forms of
gambling and deception through the
mails Mr.. Donnelly said that since
the inauguration of the Tribond
scheme for the sale of silk hosiery by
the coupon endless chain method hun
dreds of similar, enterprises have
sprung up all over the country. The
articles sold through these chain
schemes, which the credulous hope to
obtain for a small fraction of their

bies and from kitchenware to lingerie.
stated.
In the Trbond scheme the lure was
the hope of getting so worth of hos
iery for 81. Each chance-taker was.
however, first required to hazard 81
for four coupons. Three of these he
was to sell to three of his friends and
if each of them bought three more
coupons he was to be sent $40 worth
of hosiery. On each coupon was
printed the same offer. The catch in
the scheme is that while the first in
vestors would make money. the con-
tinued progression would soon leave
no one to sell the coupons to.
Before each advcnturer, even up to
the fifteenth link of the chain,
could win the SO prize additional in

TUNNEY DESCRIBES
BOXER'SFEEL|NGS
Heavyweight Champion, Over
Radio. Says He Is Sensi-
tive Fighter.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December Scene
Tunney, heavyweight boxing cham
pion of the world, last night told the
audiences of WEAF' and 30 associated
radio stations what a pugilist thinks
about on the eve of a battle of the
century.
"A man with imagination" the
champion said, 'is usually nervous at
so important an event as a champion
ship match, for he will permit his
imagination to travel and dwell on
what is apt to happen and it's re-
suits
Tunney, who asserted that there
are "temperamental, imaginative, dull
and phlegmatic" varieties of boxers.
classified himself among the more
sensitive sort. The unimaginativs
type rarely reaches the top in boxing
he asserted. Telling how he steeled
himself for the fight with Dempsey
in Philadelphia, where he won the title,
the champion said:
II knew that I was just as physi-
cally fit. had knowledge of the game
accumulated over seven years of
actual experience, knew that my re-
sistance was as good as any mans,
knew that my recuperative powers
must be as good as any mans and
knew that there are no supermen.
80 that, in spite of what the con-
sensus was, / was not going to permit
anything to rob my consciousness of
this knowledge. I kept this know
ledge before my consciousness all the
time, and, therefore, entered the ring
with a mental advantage. This ad
vantage helps considerably more than
many people realize"
The champion said that "there is no
denying that the three or four hours
before a championship contest are
but pleasant to either of the
contestants" despite the fact that
puSilists, as rule, do not fear per
sonal injury or pain. He attributed
the tension largely to the excitement
of the city in which the big bout is TO
be held.

NEW YORK, December 3.-Air-
plane manufacturers yesterday voted
to reject standards sponsored by the
Department of Commerce for the de-
sign of safe aircraft on the ground
that they were a detriment to the
proper development of aviation and a
drag on the-normal growth of the in
dustry.
The action was taken at a closed
conference under the auspices of the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce.
The proposed Government standards
are embodied in recent publication
of the Department of Commerce en-
titled "A Handbook for Commercial
Airplane Designers"
Speakers, whose names were with
held by the Aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce, said a handbook was
needed but declared that the regula-
tions should be made by the industry.
The standards set by the Depart
ment of Commerce were said to be so
strict that no plane could be built for
less than $4,000 under them.

NEW YORK, December 3.--A AZ
year-old lower East Side clothier faced
the electric chair today after being
convicted of drowning his 22-year old
business partner, on whose life he had
placed a $4,000 insurance policy, nam.
ing himself as beneficiary.
Joseph LefkoWitZ, merchant, who
was accused of conspiring with Harry
Greenberg, II, and Irving Rubinzahl,
20, to bring about the disappearance OF
Benjamin Goldstein, was found guilty
last night of murder in the first degree.
A jury in Brooklyn deliberated seven
hours Greenberg was acquitted, and
Rubinzahl, who turned States evil
dence. was held for trial. He will
probably be permitted to plead guilty
to a lesser charge.
Paid $3.50 for Crime.
Goldstein was drowned in Gravesend
Bay last August 90, when he was
pushed by Rubinzahl out of boat in
which Greenberg also rode. Rubin
Zahl in his confession said that he was
paid $3.50 for the crime by LefkoWitz.
Lefkowitz contended that Goldstein
was to be picked up in the bay by an
other boat and was to hide near South
Bend, Ind, until the insurance could
be collected. Rubinzahl, he said, over
stepped the bounds of the plot and
drowned Goldstein in order to obtain
a large share of the money by black
mailing the beneficiary.
Victim of Ghetto.
Lefkowitz also declared that Gold
stein knew of the plot. Greenberg up
held RubinZahl's confession.

Of Lefkowitz. pictured the accused
clothier as a victim of bad environ
ment.
This is a tragedy of the Ghetto" 4"
he told the jury. 1T is the tragedy
of fatherless home. In the environ

up they learned everything but hon

testified that he committed the crime
because he needed some money for

ELECTED OFFICERS
FOR LEGION POST
AT MEET LAST WEEK

The election dates of Carbon Post
No. II of the American Legion were
changed at meeting of the Post
held at Dimich Hall, Wednesday, May
18, from fall to spring. This change
was thought necessary in view of the
fact that departmental officers are
elected at the state convention held
annually in the early summer. Here
tofore, two entirely different sets of
officers worked under the department
officers during the calendar year, ow-
ing to fall elections at various posts.
Under the new system the Post Off
GERS are elected just prior to the
state convention and the new officers
will therefore work out a full year
under the same department officers
bringing about greater efficiency and
better teamwork and doing away with
the usual confusion in mailing lists.
The change was made automatically
with the election of new set of of
ficers according to the constitution
and bylaws adopted about a year ago,
the election being rather a promotion

SURVEY CREW COMMENCED WORK ON
PROPOSED ROUTE MONDAY MORNING
Chief Engineer Mitchell Makes Trip Beyond Riche Lodge
On Arrival Here; Mile Survey Completed Monday

route has been proven feasible. The
construction of the road will be god
send to the mining interests and res
idents of Cooke, who have waited
40 years for some means of transpor-
tation, other than through the park.
Owing to the established necessary
rules of the park it has been impos-
sible for the Cooke mines to de-
velop, and with the construction of
the new road and no restrictions on
trucking the mines will develop be-
yond the fondest hopes of the optimis-
tic people who have waited and are
still waiting for the construction of
the road
The road will pass through valleys
and mountains where the ruggedness
and sheer grandeur of the scenery is
unsurpassed. Along the proposed
| highway are unnumerable lakes of
unbelievable charm, filled with east
ern brook and mountain trout. The
road will traverse along Rock Creek
for almost 25 miles and will cross
many smaller streams where good
fishing may be found. 1t will go up
/ the Clarks Fork for about Is miles
where no better fishing can be had.
Many homes will be built along the
route where families may enjoy the
summer months. Scarcely mile will
be found where the tourist cannot
/ camp with an abundance of pure
e icy water and plenty of firewood.
e According to Mr.. Mitchell it is prob
, able the location survey will not bt
completed until late September OF
early October. With favorable wea-
ther conditions the crew may reach
Cooke City earlier. With the arrival
of additional technical men from
Missoula and Portland the entire crew
will number seventeen and will in
clude the packer and cook. A
string of pack horses will be used.

and Thos. Rowe.
