Ponii was a piker. His "50 per cent in 90 days" lur ed only $10,000,000. But the operations of the nation wide "Swindle Trust" according to J astonished secret service heads, in volve in the neighborhood of $100, 000,000. Most of the big swindles of the past have been based on the mathe matical system of progression what gamblers call "doubling the bet." A $1,000 dupe is paid out of $2, 000 from a second dupe. A $3,000 sucker enables the swindler to pay off the $2,000 victim. And so on. The Wheel finally gets so big that its operators can't turn it. When it stops, the crash comes. And the swindlers rarely are shrewd enough to casli in and van ish before the blow-up. -' "The bang on, saying, "Don't quit now. Lets give it Just one more turn." That's human nature. . Cassie Chadwick kept her swin dle wheel going eight years. The South Seas Bubble, formed to wipe out England's national debt in 1711, by exploiting trade to the South Seas, lasted nine years. Then its stock was quoted at $1,000 and the manipulators sold out and let others hold the bag. The Tulia Mania in Holland, 300 years ago, set people so crazy that they paid as high as $2,800 for a single bulb. This swindle blew up within three years. The Mississippi Bubble, greatest in history, exploded after three years, when its stock reached SO times its par value of $20,000,000. In all the history of swindling, there's only one giant operator that got away with it for a long time Mme. Hunbert, who borrowed $14, 000,000 in Paris and kept the wheel moving for 20 years. Frenzied finance is a bubble. And bubbles always burst. OltDKH OK IIKAKINU ou I'cdtiun fur A p point m nit of AdmlnUt rator. TIip State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty. tH. In the County Court.
