comparatively brief period would
fold up when the pressure from
their victims became too great.
SOME Of the members, however.
would inspire the creation of new
organizations. They, in turn, would
disappear after defrauding those
victims it could entice into their
clutches.
These spurious practices contin-
ued for many years. Finally, relief
was requested from the Post Office

brought to trial.
There is no Baker estate and
there never had been such an estate
that could possibly be the subject
of such schemes. Something that
started as a rumor grew into a gil
gantic fraud. Thousands of people
were deceived into contributing their
time and money for many years
without any return or possibility of
reward.

BIG SWINDLE
STAMPED out
BY P. 0. Dept
Victims Are Found in Every
State in Union-Co
yictions Secured

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Post
master General James A. Farley an
nounces that through the efforts
of the Post Office Department, an
other gigantic swindle carried on
through use of the United States
mails, which netted its operators APP
proximately one million dollars and
numbered among its victims indi-
viduals in every state Of the Union,
Canada, Mexico and Cuba. has been
stamped out 1t was also pointed out
that "a members of various groups
engaged in this fraud against the
public have been brought to trial
and convicted
This latest swindle to receive the
attention of postal inspectors in
volved the promotion of the myth
cal Baker" or Becker estates IL
the State of Pennsylvania, particu
larry in the city and county of Phil
iadelphia. The promoters of this
racket represented to their victims
that they had indisputable proof OF
the existence of these estates, which
included properties in the very heart
of Philadelphia, worth approximate
! ly sixty million dollars In addition,
Independence Hall, Franklin Square
and the grave of Benjamin Frank
1 lin itself, as we'll as the Post Office
and the United States Mint in Phil
adelphia we're included by these pro-
motors as being Baker" property
Broad Street Station of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and the abut-
ments on the Philadelphia side of
the Delaware River Bridge, were,
likewise, given as part Of the Baker
estate. Then, to make the PROPOSE
ton more attractive to the intended
victims, there were added to the
Baker estate eleven thousand acres
of valuable coal, lead and zinc lands
throughout the State of Pennsyl-
vania.
That So Called Will
A so-called will, dated December
OF, 1889, and claimed to have been
executed by one Jacob Baker, was
used by the promoters of this swim
die to obtain money from their vic
Tins. The will purported to dispose
of the valuable property mentioned
in the City of Philadelphia and the
mineral lands throughout the state
to so-called heirs of Baker. The
scheme of some of the groups carry
ing on the racket was to solicit
money through the mails and other
wise for the pretended purpose of
probating the alleged will If the
person solicited was not Baker or
Becker descendant, then he was
Isold share in the mythical estate
Other groups solicited "enrollments"
at ten or twenty dollars each, in adj
dition to membership" with
monthly dues.
Paper is Aged
Inspectors assigned TO this work
! thought it very unusual that an
authentic will to such valuable pro-
perry should remain unprotected for
almost one hundred years. Through
court proceedings the alleged will
was obtained. Inspectors caused the
paper and the writing thereon to be
analysed by chemical engineer and
handwriting expert. 1t was discov-
cred that the paper on. which the
will was written was not manufac-
tured until about 1890, over fifty
years after its date. The paper had

The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1937-08-28

been artificially aged The sigma
lures of the witnesses to the will
had been forged, it was discovered.
The information thus obtained by
the inspectors proved beyond a
doubt that the promoters were at
tempting to pass off forged and
spurious instrument to the thou
sands of persons. who believed and
were led to believe they were heirs
to vast estate.
AS the will in question and repre-
sensations of the promoters called
for property throughout Pennsyl-
vania as part of The alleged inheri-
lance, it became necessary for the
inspectors to trace in and out Of
the name of Baker" or Becker"
and various companies in which they
were interested every piece of real
estate in the sixty-seven counties
of Pennsylvania from 1852 to the
present time. Over four hundred
days were consulted in this work
The search disclosed that none of
he property called for in the alleged
will was owned by a Jacob Baker
or any other Baker at the time it
was purported to have been execut-
ed. 1t was further aseertained that
there is no vast unsettled and I'M
distributed Baker or Becker estate
anywhere in the State of Pennsyl-
yania.
Another Fake Claim
Another false claim of the pro-
moters of this swindle was that ia
cob Baker or some other Baker had
executed a 99-year lease to one Mar
tin Yalas on property upon which
most of the buildings in Philadelphia
now stand.
Another method by which money
was obtained from victims of the
swindle was in the compilation and
sale to them of So-called genealogi-
cal charts. Needless to say, these
traced the ancestors of the victims
back to the Baker or Becker of
whom they were supposed to be an
heir.
Charges for these charts ranged
from one to fifty dollars or what
ever the traffic would bear.
Many of the swindlers organized
into Associations, Leagues" etc.
Memberships were sold to victims in
every state of the Union, ranging
from one to twenty dollars. This
amount, however, was not the limit
of loss Of any particular individual.
When the promoters found one will
ing, able and ready to pay, special
attention was given him Through
false and alluring promises he was
frequently enticed to part with his
cash. The investigation revealed sew
eral persons whose contributions
amounted to from one thousand to
seven thousands dollars apiece.
Representations
The inspectors found that the pro-
moters had represented that various
banks and trust companies in Phil
adelphia were holding millions of
dollars for Baker heirs which
sums were supposed to represent
rentals and other collections result
ing from the alleged 99-year leases
executed by the Baker ancestors
years ago. 1t was discovered by the
inspectors that not a single penny
was held by any of the financial in
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1937-08-28
Treasury Involved

Other promoters represented that
the Treasury Department was hold
ing vast sums for distribution
among the supposed heirs. The in
spectcrs proved that there we're no
such funds in the Treasury. 1t was
also claimed by promoters of the
racket that millions Of dollars were
available for distribution to the pur-
ported heirs of Baker as a result Of
the French Spolia tons in indemni-
ties. This was proven to be false IN
every particular.
During the investigation, inspec-
tors unearthed evidence to show
that a total Of Al different organi-
cations at one time or another en-
gagged in the operation of this gil
gantic swindle. Most Of them after

During the trials of the promo
tiers of this swindle, inspectors pro-
duced thousands Of letters contain
ing false representations and prom
ises mailed by them to their victims
1t was claimed that Jacob Baker was
a colonel or captain in the Revolu-
ionary War and that in return for
his military services he was given
valuable land grants. Inspectors
produced proof from the War and
Navy Departments that there n>ver
was a Jacob Baker from Pennsy,-

during the Revelation. Furthermore,
no land grants were made by the
United States government to any
