It vas learned today that Captain

ALLEGED to have staged fake con-
cert. which they claimed was foe
the benefit Of the Children's Home
here last week. also operated IN
Newport, r. l.. according to .
warning issued BY the Newport
Chamber.
4 letter Of warning from the
Newport Chamber arrived here =
few days before the concert. Had
Mr.. Benson not been on his vaoa-
ton at the time. It IL likely the
affair could have been stopped. Mr..
Benson was absent on his annual
vacation and did not 80 the letter
until 1t was too late 70 take any
action.
According to the letter from

The letter 10 ~ follows:

These people recently attempted
to work Newport for the benefit of

They approached the officers of the
organization and secured = contract
from them whereby the said organi-
xauon was to receive 800, ostensi-
bly, for the use OF its name.
I'VE succeeding in breaking up the
racket and were aided in so doing by
the fact that they had not secured
q dance license from the board OF

THE methods pursued Of selling
tickets over the telephone are par
ticularly Objectionable in view of the
fact that they play up the charity
to be benefited in such . way al
to arouse the sympathy and inter-
ests of the prospects who usually fall
for the game. We also produced
evidence at tho hearing before the
board of aldermen tending to show
that names OF well known people
were manipulated to this advantage
of the promoters.
THE promoters advertised that
they were to supply music by an or
chestra known as the Yale Bull Dog
