what he'll always be known as
500 Per Cent Miller"

hood. have one of them yet
in my collection, and it reads
something like this:
""TEN PER CENT INTER

MONEY! For every $40 you in
vest we will pay 81 q week in
terest. This means that in one
years time we will pay you $50
in weekly instalImentS and you
still have your $40 on deposit
Miller's outfit went by the name
of the Franklin Syndicate. and its
sales letters and sales talks told
the prospects that it made these
enormous profits by operations in
the stock market on inside infor-
nation: of course, they did moth.
ing of the kind.
A good deal of the money went
to finance bucket shops, but the
game was solely to pay out the
10 per cent interest each week and
count on the new investments to
more than meet the payoff.
SENT TO PRISON
''MiIler's fame got to the news
papers and that proved his un-
doing. The papers began ham
mering at him, but even then,
for weeks, he kept a bold front.
and the authorities were at q
loss how to take action because
he was paying out the money as
promised.
when we did close IN on him
It was over the strong protests
Of those he was skinning. They
accused the press and the police
of acting for the banks, which,
they said, were enviOus Of Mil
Ter because he was letting the
poor reap the benefits which
they thought should be only
theirs.
1--WE sent Miller and his law
yer, Col. Bob AmmOn, to Sing
Sing, and the one person who
really benefited by the scheme
was a writer who never invested
a nickel in it. His name was
George Randolph Chester. You
see, AmmOn was an outstanding
fellow with a great front. He
was born in WaIIingfOrd, Conn.
Miller, as / have told you, was
a slim, dark chap with q blaHk

other day. You know, the fell

gullibIe and the avariciOus with
promises of 20 per cent month
on the money they entrusted to
him."
"That other POnzi? Yes, I
know about that. But who Is
Miller?"
"The daddy Of the POnzis and
the Nevilles," said the inspector.
"He was in New York before
your time and as a young, young
detective, I happened to be in
ON the case. There never has
been one like it before and there
hasn't been one like it since.

HE popped out of nowhere
with no more than $50 in his
pockets and in eight months he
had snOwballed that into two
million dollars belonging to
thousands of foolish persons
who thrust it upon him.
"The amazing part was that it
was done without a makeup and
without the usual props of the
skin game.

thought that out, it was real ge-

been that the most they hoped
for was a cleanup Of a couple of

brought them two millions, head

A PROTEST

In the morning mail was a com.
munication in the nature Of a pro-
test. 1t was couched in polite
terms, however, so no one should
get riled about it.
1t seems that in a nationwide
puzzle contest there was one prob
lem which had a solution center.
ing around the famous singer
Jenny Lind. Now, almost every.
one who has entered the contest
has been rushing to the Library
Of Congress to check up on the an
swerS there.
My correspondent naturally
went to the Library to look up
Jenny Lind. And he found that
the entire shelf containing all
books on or about Jenny Lind had
been sent to Secretary Francis
Perkins.
The gentleman who called this
to my attention adds:
Everything will be forgiven II
Madame Secretary will only an
nOunce her findings on the queS'
ton Of Jenny Lind being the cor.
rect solution, for the benefit OF
the thousands Of disappointed
contest searchers who also use
the Congressional Library.

FAME

Many a joke has been told about
the obscurity into which man
drops when he becomes Vice
President. 1t was the basis for q
musical revue one time and legion
are the tales about it, but here il
one about the Speaker.
Speaker Bankhead had just been
elected to his present office and
had gone home to relax q few
days. There was a great fanfare
at the station as he got off the
train and rode down the main
street. Friends all around kept
shouting:
"Hi, Will. Glad to see you
back"
One man rushed into a store
after seeing his hero" and friend
and said to the storekeeper:
"Say, Wills back!"
"Humph," said the stOrekeep.

Best Wishes, But

ITNHE Board of Public Welfare, with the approval of
Il the District Commissioners, has appointed Mr.. Ray
L. Huff, parole executive of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons to be superintendent of the District penal lnst
buttons.
While everyone in the city hopes that Mr. Huff will
make success of his ob there is no doubling the
fact that his appointment is disappointment to many
It had been hoped that the Board of Public Welfare
would dsavow its previous policy and appoint to this
position person definitely identified with the District
It had also been hoped that the board would recognize
the promotion principle within its own organization,
thereby demonstrating that it had confidence in its own
appointees
Mr., Huff has been active in welfare work for some
time. and has lived in Washington the holder of job
in the Federal Government.
He has had no experience administrator: of
penal institution
PERHAPS such experience is not necessary or desirable
in one who is to take charge of several Institutions
Atleast the Board of Public Welfare does not appear
to think So
Senator William H. King, chairman of the Senate Dis
trct Committee has criticized the appointment.
Representative Mary T. Norton chairman of the House
District Committee is represented being not parcu
larly pleased
Both the Senate and the House District Committees
have before them bills which would abolish the Board OF
Public Welfare as at present constituted
In discussing the question of appointing local citizens
to Jobs in the local government it was pointed out some
DAYS ago that the board had been able to withstand sew
era prior attacks its existence only on the ground
that as board of District citizens it preserved
ure of local control of the functions Of the local
government.
Should the board continue to disregard local citizens
in making appointments under its control and should
continue to refuse accept the recommendations Of local
residents for appointments to these jobs it cannot expect
our people to go before Congress and support it in its
perennial fight to keep itself alive
