 New York, Dec. 13, - Confidence men swindle $40,000 ,000 a year from gull lible victims in the United States, government agents have computed, and no amount of cautioning will keep unsuspecting persons from parting with life sav- ings.
 There are 400 of the Icon" men plying their garrulous trade in the Un- tied States and they aver age $100,000 annually from trusting persons. Mostly their victims are elderly, retired persons.
 Herbert N. Graham, gov- ernment postal sleuth, is the chief worry of the con- fidence men. His sporadic raids on cities has put doz ems of the glib gentlemen in prison and sent other doz ems fleeing to foreign coun- tries. Atlanta, Reno, Den yer and other cities where bunco men have centered have known the torpedo ing" of a government raid under Graham's thorough direction.
 The trap that catches the victims seldom varies. Af- ter a brief acquaintance in which he is the aff1uent host, the "con" man finds" a pocketbook under the tab- le where he and his victim are eating. The wallet con tains any amount of money above $50, a surety bond of $100,000 and a faked newspaper clipping of a man who is said to be a sen sationally wise stock invest or or horse race gambler.
 The pocketbook is return ed to the owner, and to show his appreciation the owner bets or invests the money in the wallet, say

 Best informed sources said the British, who were at the head of the first sep arate discussion with the Japanese last night, acted only after urgent Japanese inSiStence.

RAPS
GRAZING JOB
SYSTEM

Claiming a new attack by spoils
system advocates against the
merit system of providing Federal
positions with competent person
mel, Luther C. Steward, president
of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees, today struck
at legislation which would amend
the act to prevent injury to pub
lie grazing lands.
Mr.. Steward particularly called
attention to a clause that directs
the Secretary of the Interior to
appoint a director of grazing and
subordinate graziers without re-
gard to civil service requirements,
pointing out that a further pro-
vision directs that such admins
TRAITORS be selected according to
practical experience.
Employing bitter humor in
commenting on the proposed
measure, the employe leader said:
did one not know the humOr
Is quite unconscious, and that
the import of this legislation is
thoroughly vicious and destruc-
tive of the merit system, one
would be inclined to believe that
MeSSrS. Gilbert and Sullivan,
with the assistance of the
authors of AS Thousands Cheer
and OF Thee / Sing drafted
this priceless legislative para
graph.
Can it be this bill was writ
ten tOnguein-cheek? In one
sentence the merit system is
plainly kicked out of the win
dow. In the next the Secretary
of the Interior is gravely ad-
viSed to select as employees per-
sons who have had some practi.
cal experience.
"The whole thing, of course,
