FOREIGNERS IN
VALLEY PREY OF
SLICK SWINDLERS

Warning against sharpers whC
are plying their trades in the val
ley, was issued today by a loea'
banker, who advised the Press OF
an instance coming to his attention
in which a Portuguese raneher had
been victimized.
The rancher came to the bank
with an insurance policy and a bail
bond, which had been in his posses
sion for quite a while, and asked
that he be informed as to their val
ue.
Upon reading the insurance pol
icy the banker ascertained that the
holder of the policy would be paid
; 900 for the loss of leg, an arm,
an eye, or other major injury, "sus-
tained while sitting in a taxicab
with a regularly licensed chauf-
feur.''
The bail bond, a flashy engraved
document, simply stated that the
company issuing the bond authoriz-
ed any bonding company to issue
bail in the sum of $4,000 in case
the holder of the bond was held in
custody by any civil officer.
Other complaints have been re-
ceived advising Of agents visiting
Mexican ranch hands and telling
them that unless they took out in
surance on their cars, the govern
ment would confiscatc their ma
chimes. The agents made a great
show of jOtting down license and
engine numbers and talking sharply
. tO the Mexieans. In some cases
they succeeded in soaring the latter
into taking out policies.
cit is needless to state that these
practices are condemned by legiti-
mate bonding and insurance agents
doing business here" the banker
stated. rThese instances cited
were the work of by-nights
who roam around the country snar-
ing their victims. IL would he a
good thing if persons employing for
eign labor would caution them a.
gainst having any transactions with
strangers without first taking it up
with some English-speaking person
whom they know to be reputable. "

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1-Business
progress in the Southwest was mark
ed by little of the spectacular dur
ing the month of January, the
monthly report released today by
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce declared.
Most manufacturing lines are be-
tween seasons and have not gotten
into production of spring styles
while others were slowed up by ne
cessity of inventory or overhaul, the
summary said.
However, the general volume of
business, measured by bank clear
ings, building construction, manu-
featuring output, retail trade, or
foreign commerce, is maintaining an
excellent level in comparison with
previous Januarys, the review point.
ed out.
The summary briefly reviewed
the various business fields.
Los Angeles bank elearings were
given an increase of $S l44,69s in
January 1923 over tic same month
last year. Clearings amounted to
1881 OF, ,122. This was partly due
to the fact that Hollywood figures
were included.
Postal receipts showed an increase
of 4 per cent for the month, the
postmaster estimated. Receipts were
$795,000 in January, 1923, as a
gainst $765,412 in January, 1927.
While building in the city show
! ed moderate increase over the pre-
vious month there was decline
from January of last year. The 1927
figure, 2S44 permits for a total of
| Ss,l29,749. topped the 1928 mark.
Oil Industry Stronger
| The petroleum industry seems to
have regained its composure, accord
ing to the report. Fear has been
allayed by the cooperation of the
various units, which have brought
! about a substantial decrease in the
national output. The government
report. which shows the drop, has
! aided growth of confidence that
any federal action will be along the
line of assisting the cooperative
movement rather than through di-
rect regulating.
| Production of crude oil in the
state dropped to $4,000 barrels a
day for January as against $4,000
for December.
| Slowness in the sale of new ears
was taken to indicate that Ira pub.
lie is awaiting the final appearance
of new models.
Activity in the wearing apparel
industry has been seasonauy re-
tarded. -
The review said that there is
| tendency towards firming prices in
wholesale commodities.
The number of industrial err
Tloyes in the Los Angeles area for
1928 (adopted rs base was shown
as 1Oe per cent compared with Jan.

report said. Better quality stock :,

Formation Of the California De

TO be one of the most outstanding

WHEAT TRUCKER
LAaDS IN CO. JAIL

Ray Greenup, married man,
who has been residing in the coun-
try north of Poplar, is in the
county jail held on a charge of
grand larceny, a charge to which
he pleaded guilty when arraigned
before Justice Fred Turner of
Poplar.
Greenup trucked wheat for
farmer named Zentz and sold
three loads of it, amounting to
about $500, in his own name. He
cashed the checks and paid, it is
alleged, accounts which he owed
to business concerns amounting
to about $40. He continued haul
ing grain for Zentz but said moth
ing about the loads he had sold.
When Zentz went to the elevator
to check up, he at once discovered
the shortage. The elevator rec
ords showed that the checks had
been issued to Greenup. He was
arrested and $50 of the money re-
covered. He will be brought be-
fore the district court at an early
session. Greenup has a wife and
two children. His act was so bold
and at the same time so foolish as
to be almost without local prece-
dent according to Undersheriff
Council.
