JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June e.
From standpoint of transportation,
the horse is a back number in this
era of streamlines, but he continues
to figure in the municipal govern
ment'S scheme of things.
Although there are few steeds left
to need refreshing drafts of water,
the city street department faithfully
maintains drinking troughs. And, in
addition, it employees a full-time in
spector. who makes daily rounds,

running order.
Other municipal dignitaries 80
about their duties in motor vehicles,
but the conveyance of the inspector,
E. L. Crosby, is in keeping with his
Job-an old-fashioned buggy, drawn
by big white horse.
Crosby, great lover of horseflesh,
sits in his buggy with the pride and
dignity of royalty in the royal chariot.
And King George-tl,at's the horse
prances along just as though he were
taking somebody to a coronation.
Inspector Crosby used to be a busy
man when there were thirsty horses
on every street. But now, with the
number of troughs greatly reduced,
business has been pretty light for a
long time.
Things are picking up, however
The city is installing many drinking
fountains for human use here and
there. And Crosby and King George
have been assigned the job of looking
after them, too.
Will Inspector Crosby replace the
King with an automobile, now that
his territory includes some of the far
flung residential districts?
"Tut, tut!" he replies with dis
gust at the questioner's ignorance.

SELL AND SWITCH
ARTISTS FLOURISH
IN NEW YORK CITY
Better Business Bureau
Reports Action of 'Gyp'
Dealers in Gotham.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 9.-The Sell
and-switch" artists still flourish, it is
shown in report of the Better Bust
ness Bureau of New York City and
the purveyors Of stolen securities are
battled constantly by trained police
detectives.
The gyp artists established conf
dence in their permanent-appearing,
although temporary. business organi-
ration. Their first step is to sell sound
stocks or bonds netting a low return
to the purchaser, and with confidence
established in that manner they rec
ommend the purchaser shift to some
other stock that yields much larger
return on the same amount of money.
Three per cent on Government
bonds appears to be a very low return
when placed beside a 10 or 20 per
cent return on some wildcat gold mine
stock.
Trade for Wallpaper.
And, strangely enough, reports show
the holders of Government bonds have
been talked into trading them tor
worthless stock
There is only one consolation
worthless stocks make durable wallpa-
per. The select Union League Club
in New York has room papered with
them.
Much more difficult to combat are

the ignorant can be taken into camp
by the "sell-and-switch" boys, but
some of the best bankers in the coun-
try have unwittingly been involved in
the stolen-securities racket.
1.-The business of stealing and dis
posing of securities is an organized
one" says w. L. Flynn, adjuster for
the National Surety Corporation of
New York He adds that while it would
be pure speculation to attempt to esti-
mate the amount stolen, lit definitely
amounts to millions of dollars each
year."
Here's how the snatch racket works.
Mr.. Flynn speaking: THE first group
are the 'snatchers,' who frequent the
districts where securities are in transit,
and by travelling in crowded elevators,
delivery rooms and Railways, and by
the exercise of every trick and device,
manage to take securities away from
unsuSpecting messengers.
The next group are the receivers,
who are sufficiently fortified with cash
to pay anywhere from to 20 per
cent of the market value of the Sc
curities to the snatchers, the rate va
ryjng according to the value and nego-
liability of the securities stolen.
"Passers" Then Appear.
THE third group are the 'passers,'
who then either buy the securities
from the receivers at anywhere from
Is to IS per cent Of the market value
or take them on option to various
parts of the country, where the stolen
securities are negotiated.

Senator Patterson was not in Con-
gress when either the eighteenth
amendment or the Volstead act was
approved.
The contest for the Democratic
nomination Is not only marking out
three sections, it is lining up three
factions within the party as well.

boss in Kansas City, while Repre-
sentative Cochran is Endorsed by
Mayor Bernard F. Dickinson of st.

chief executive since the turn of the
century and prominently mentioned
as candidate for Governor in 1896.

of Representative Milligan can be
gagged from the declaration of one
Of his Joplin organizers that outstate

Cochran Known as Vote Getter.
Representative Cochran, who prior
to his election to the House was Sec
rotary to the late Senator william j.
Stone, to former Senator Harry B.
Halves, when he was q Representa-
tive. and to former Representative
william L. Igoe, will have many sup
porters outside st. Louis. Two years
ago, when Missouri's Is Representa-
tives were elected at large, owing to
failure Of the Legislature, and then
Governor, Harry s. Caulfield, to agree
on redistricting legislation, Cochran
led the list with a margin Of about
400, 900 over the highest Republican.
Since then he has made many
friends in the Ozarks by his activity
in behalf of the recently authorized
national forests In Southern Missouri.
Should Cochran be nominated and
elected 1t would mean that st. Louis

VICTIM
STAYS BANDIT

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3. U.P)-
Seeking to identify a bandit, killed
when he stood almost toe-to-toe
with a courageous service station
attendant, James Macari, as they
riddled each others bodies with
bullets in a duel to their deaths,
police today attempted to trace a
laundry mark.
The clue to the identity of the
slain holdup man was found in the
laundry mark on the man IS cloth
ing when police arrived to find the
body of the man sprawled across
the sidewalk in front of the SER
vice station at POLL Pasadena ave-
nue. and Macari dying.
Although witnesses told of having
seen a small car flee from the SER
vice station when the shooting
broke out, and it was believed the
bandit may have had an accom-
plice, this theory was dropped when
the driver of the machine was To-
Gated today and proved to have
been merely bystander, hurrying
to get out of the way of flying
bullets.
F'ingerprints of the slain bandit
were sent to the Washington bureau
of identification after it was found
they matched none in the local
police files.

TRUCE FACES
DOUBLE TEST
Temporary Peace Between La
Dor And Capital Endangered
By Two Disturbances.
BY LYLE A. BROOKOVER
United Preri staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt S truce between cap
ital and labor faced two important
tests today. Administration chances
for victory in both were apparent
ly good.
The tests were labor S reaction to
renewal of the unchanged automo-
bile code and the decision of unions
and the Great Atlantic 81 Pacific
Tea company, on the proposed
Cleveland grocery truce.
The seven Cleveland unions in
volved in the grocery fight forward
ed their decision on the truce to the
national labor relations board. 1t
was kept secret but belief persist
ed here that the response was fav-
orable.
Decision by the A. g. P. was due
shortly, possibly today. Early in
dications have been that it also
would vote for peace and resump-
ton of operations. The company
had planned to abandon its Cleve-
land business in the face of strike
by the seven unions.
While not overly enthusiastic at
failure of the administration to op-
en- the automobile code for possible
amendments desired by labor, un-
ion opinion was expected to go
along with the President in view of
his intention to investigate condi-
tions thoroughly prior to expiration
date of the renewed code February
l.
The President s proposal to con-
fer next week with automobile
manufacturers and labor leaders
prior to initiating a government
study of labor conditions in the in
dustry was interpreted as empha-
sizing the control the White House
will exercise in future over the
NRA code structure.
On another front the national
textile relations board was striving
to bring peace in the silk industry
Negotiations to end the strike OF
$4,000 Paterson, N. j., silk dyerS
were going on here and were to be
continued at Paterson. 1t was re-
ported a new peace plan had beer

Of AUTO CODE

DETROIT, Nov. 3. WP)-Labors
protest against President Roose-
velt's continuation of the automa-
tive code for an additional 80 days
was registered today by the A. F. of
l.
Citing the average yearly wage
OF $500 for an auto worker in COM
parison with the "net profit of
$50, ,483,6l3 for the first six months
of 1884 for General Motors, F. j.
Dillon, general organizer for the
federation, protested against the
Presidents act and demanded a
thorough and complete investiga-
tion of the industry.''
The protest was tempered with q
pledge of support for the President
in his promised investigation and
study of the industry and COM
mendation for instigating the work
Dillon expressed the resentment
that has been accruing in labor cir
cleS since the inception of the au-
tomcbile code and the inclusion of
the much discussed "merit clause -
which allows the companies to hire
or fire employees on a basis Of
merit without regard to union af-
filiations. This feeling was furth-
er famed at the time of the first
extension of the code without any
alteration of the merit clause.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3. - DR.
F. E. Townsend, gangling South
ern California Messiah of a new
economic order, today presented to
San Franciscans his plan for a
5000 pension to every American
citizen over 60 years of age.
The white-haired country doctor,
whose appearance suggests cartoons
Of Uncle Sam" in business clothes
and minus his goatee, diagnosed
that the United States is suffer-
ing from poor circulation of the
currency.
He prescribed a national sales
tax, to pay 5000 month to every
citizen past 60, rich and poor
alike, provided they refrain from
work, and spend the entire 5000
within the month.
I'VE will always be faced with
an army of unemployed" Dir.
Townsend said. "One third of the
population can easily supply the
needs of ALL"
Retirement of one-tWentieth of
the nations population at an esti-
mated combined annual pension of
"a billion dollars, he declared,
would leave jobs for younger per-
sons. Compulsory circulation of the
two billion dollars month i'll
