Further evidence of the activities of

to The Star last night when promi-

his contribution.
This gentleman described the swindler
as an extremely quiet, soft spoken MAI.
of excellent presense, neatly dressed in
a blue serge suit, white shirt, dark tie,
and sailor straw hat. The man is clean
shaven and does not wear glasses. He
is Of medium height, darkly sunburned,
and well built. His eyes and hair are
brown. He is about 20 years old.
Claims TO BE Artist.
The swindler gained access to the

Needless to say, there Is no such artist
on The Star. He explained that Wash

Construction of swimming pool and
pitching horseshoes occupied the time
Yesterday Of President Hoover and the
members Of the week end party at his
camp on the headwaters of the Rapi-
dan River in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains of Virginia.
The swimming pool was built in the
mountain stream nearest to the camp:
and President Hoover not only served
as architect and chief engineer in con-
structing the dam to form the pool.
but helped by carrying rocks and
boulders and helping to put them IN
position.
Mr.. Hoover did not participate in the
horseshoe pitching. but during the
games he was an interested onlooker.
The 1orseshoes were taken to the camp
by Lieut.. Comdr. Joel T. Boone, the
White House physician. He is one OF
the charter members of the Presidents
medicine bah cabinet. and introduced
the "bull in the ring" game played by
the President and his medicine bailers
each morning.

sold after the exhibit, the proceeds to

for the artists. He talked his way into
a generous check. which he asked be
made payable to Edwin B. Smith,
treasurer Of the Evening STAR" The
telephone directory discloses almost all
varieties of Smith except Edwin B., and
again there is no such person on The
Star.
Story Bares Swindle.
BY a curious coincidence, Fridays
Star came to the victims ONCE with the
story Of a previous swindle allegedly for
the benefit of Clifford K. Bergman, The
Stars cartoonist, less than an hour
after the check was written. The VIC
tim quickly called up. the bank, but
the check had been caShed. In the
previous swindle, the solicitor had given
his name as Mr.. Clark, an artist on
the Washington Post, and asked that
the check be made out to George =
Mason, financial editor Of the wash
