Matrimonial S,vindles Plague
Postal Agents Purging Mails
Inspectors UncOuer CIeUer "Racket' i1,

spread Frauds.

nave some kind Of eye ailment, on
some pretext such as asking water for
their car or to express admiration for
swindlers perform a mock operation"
at an exorbitant- fee or lend some sort
of curative" apparatus on receipt Of
an equally exorbitant deposit" The
racket gets its name from underworld
slang for spectacles, "glimmers" or
"glims."
Work-at-home rackets fourished q
few years ago. but have declined in
popularity since subjected to Govern
ment scrutiny. These schemes in.
volved the sale of machines and tools,
with false promises Of a ready market
for the finished product. Often both
machines and materials were Of in
ferior quality.
Buried Gold Still q Lure.
Advice for locating buried gold Is
still lucrative source Of income-for
the salesman. 1t usually involves q
"detector," which may be a simple
divining rod or an elaborate affair
heavy with batteries and electrical
gadgets They find q ready market.
Some coin dealers sell catalogues
listing valuable" coins. but sidestep
adroitly when pressed to purchase
listed coins.
More widely known, perhaps, be-
cause Of the recent, widely publicized
trial of Oscar M. Hartzell and his as
sociates, is the inherited estate"
racket. Hartzell received vast sums
from persons who were led to believe
they were entitled, as descendants, to
share property in England purported
to be that of Sir Francis Drake. Hart
zell is in Leavenworth.
Insurance Swindles Widespread.
Insurance swindles are also wide
spread and reputable insurance COM
panies keep constant vigil against
fraudulent claims. Sometimes it is
the company and not the policy holder
who falls under suspicion, for some
unscrupulous firms have been detected
issuing policies so worded as to make
it almost impossible for policy holder
or his beneficiaries to collect. Other
firms guarantee" mortgages. One
such firm. exposed in Philadelphia re-
Gently took In more than $1,000 ,OO0.-
900 before discovered.
More than score of other rackets
are under current investigation. These
include the dog racket" the sale OF
mongrels as pedigreed animals. Per-
sons will advertise common articles for
sale. such as automobile tires, batteries,
model airplanes or radios. and then,
after receiving orders, will pocket the
money without making delivery.
This racketeer is easy to apprehend,
Williams asserted. though many times
investigation has disclosed that no
swindle was intended. A clerks error
in a reputable mail order business
house, for example. may bring flood
of complaints to the department.

So that will take care of
"577-01- -000l" until January l. 1912,
or thereafter, when actual payments
of pensions begin to be made. and
officers haven't decided yet just what
the mechanics will be for this final
operation.
While the Social Security Board
faces an admittedly titanic task, so
carefully has the records-keeping ma
chinery itself been geared that it ap-
pears capable of slipping into motion
without a hitch.
Space Lacking in Capital.
It was recognized at the outset that
space was the first requisite, and when
ington two floors were leased in the
old Gambler Building down in the
Baltimore shipping district. There
about 10000 square feet Of open floor
was taken over, and this is expected
to meet the needs for some time to
come.
Here, about TOO employees are on
duty: eventually this figure Is ex-
pected to reach 1000. There are $50
of the various machines In service,
with women for the most part being
assigned to the punchers, at which
they can sit down, and men to the
others. With employe records begin
ming to drift in, the actual recording
work is due to start tomorrow, and
first through the mill will be con-
signment from New York. Several
patches also have been cleared through
by Postmaster Vincent c. Burke of
Washington.
In about two weeks q night force
will be put on, and on the basis OF
the two seven-hour shifts thereby
established, it Is estimated that the
accounts of 100000 employees can be
set up daily.
Force Entirely Civil Service.
The force is entirely civil service
and will be. It was recruited from
registers established by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission in business machine
examination q year ago, and conse-
gently those composing it had only
to acquaint themselves with the par
ticular needs of the new service when
they went to work.
The machines are leased from the
maker-Internation Business Ma
chine Corp, of Endicott, N Y, which
also has a staff temporarily on duty
In the Division of Records to iron
out the early problems that inevitably
arise in such huge undertaking. Six
of the seven machines that now are in
use-the eighth comes later-were
standard products of I. B. NJ, which
were adapted to the social security
work, with minor changes. The other

being designed at the time the need
for such a device became apparent at
the Social Security Board. There
upon, its manufacture was speeded up.
so it would be available. This leasing
ARRANGEMENT costs the Government
$685. this year.
The machines operate at high speed,
each handling cards hourly by the
thousands, under the guidance of
single operator, and quickly rejecting
any where the data should match and
do not.
In the end their product is in a
very compact form. For example.
1000 ordinary filing cases are expe cted
to be all the Division Of Records will
need for some time.

TRIO FEARED DROWNED

ALBEMARLE, N. c., November %
(R.-Oficers patrolled Badin Lake at
Tuckertown, near here, today for some
trace of the bodies of three men who
were believed to have drowned when
their boat capsized Thursday night.
Search was started for the men
when the boat they took to cross the
lake on a hunting trip was found
washed ashore.
The men were Allan Miller, Erwin
