Maor Men of Kola to Attend the A n

Year at Hoctae.tcr.
nOCHESTEH, N. V., May 27.-Probably
the biggest event at any national en
campment of the Grand Army of the Ke
publlo since its inception nearly a half
century ago will take place during the
big parade at Rochester, N. Y., on Augunt
23, when scores of bombs will bo shot Into
the air, which, upon bursting, will release
beautiful, bright-colored American flags.
The flags will remain in the air until
wafted upon the breexe and carried across
the horizon. The bombs will be fired every
two minutes during the four or five hours
of the parade, and the air will be filled
With these beautiful national emblems.
These shells are one of the most unique
novelties that has ever been originated and
will be the feature of the encampment,
from the spectacular viewpoint. Nothing
like it has ever been seen at a national en
campment. . The shells will be made In
Japan, the contract for them having been
made by the executive' committee, of which
Colonel Henry S. Redman la executive di
rector. The bombs will ba shipped here
from Japan In time for the encampment.
The bomb will be exploded from one of
the highest buildings In Rochester and will
be shot about 1,000 feet into the air, when
the trt-colors of Old Ulory will break out,
making one of the most beautiful and In
spiring' sights ever witnessed. The silk
tissue flags will be 12x15 feet In slxe.
Colonel Redman has returned from Al
bany, where he Interviewed Governor John
A. Dlx and Adjutant General William
Verbeck of the National guard regarding
arrangements for the encampment
Governor Dlx will be in Rochester for the
encampment, as well as President Taft,
Colonel Roosevelt, the governors of ad
Joining states, together with prominent
state officials and Grand Army men.

ROMANCE : COLORS THE ROW
Love and War, as In the Old Day a,
Go Hand in Hand la
Mexico.
If Cervantes smiled (Spain's chivalry
away, he failed to carry his Influence Into
Mexico. That country has always been a
land of romance. The people there have
clung. to the habits whloh grew out of
their old Spanish ancestry and their cli
matic environment. They still have their
midday siesta, their feast days and holi
days, and spend their money freely and
dress poorly.
The present Insurrection In full of epi
sodes that would happen probably in no
other country of the world. Out of them
the imagination of a Hugo, a Dumas or a
Scott might build many a romance of love
and adventure. For In Mexico love and
fighting still go .together, as they used to
do In the days of mediaeval knight-errantry.
A striking and at the same time some
what pathetlo illustration of this was the
long Journey over the desert to the town
of J u ares undertaken by a number of
women, wives, mothers and sweethearts of
the soldiers at the front Accompanied by
children, cats,, dogs and goats, they
traveled more than two hundred miles to
be near the soldier boys, for whom Mex
ican women feel so romantic au attach
ment. The women had been left behind in Chi
huahua when two battalions of Mexican
Infantry were sent to the border. Impa
tient at the absence of those they loved,
they got a pushcart, loaded It with such
necessary articles as It would hold and
propelled it over the dreary wastes and
around burned bridges, taking their turn
In squads at pushing tha cart.
The Journey occupied two weeks, food
being obtained at the few settlements
which lay along the route. Bach of these
woman might make a heroine of romance,
for they knew neither fear nor fatigue
where love was concerned.
But the romance of the Mexican Insur
rection baa not been confined to the
women. A few days ago General Cuellar,
chief of staff to President Dlaa, who de
feated Francisco Madero's army at Casaa
Grandes. but lost an arm in tha engage
' .nent, telephoned his condolences to Ma
dero on the death of the Insurgent leader's
father. It Is said, too, that Madero's son
sent a message of regret to Cuellar on the
latter s loss of his arm. Tha two had once
been school fellows together.
All this Is very picturesque and romantic
Hut the present la a practical age, and Im
pulse and emotionalism need a strong hand

NEW STYLES IN G)LD BRICKS
Con Men Becoming Moie Scientific in
Their Schemes.
FANCY LURES FOR EASY MARKS
Principle, of (lid (innira Worked
Over In JVew Matt-rial Irlrilna
Parl" Package of
Coin.
Oold-brlcking is still practiced, but the
style has changed. Where the crooks used
to Inveigle some person Into an old cave,
there produce an Indian and a gold brick
ana sell a piece of rork for gold, now con
fidence men and fakers plat a section of
the axure sky and sell town lots. The fact
is go!d-brlcklng Is as prevalent as ever,
but the crooks are becoming more scien
tific. That Is the opinion of E. P. Boyle,
Inspector of detectives for Kansas City.
Within the last year two men purchased
420 acres of land In Arkansas. Their In
vestment was on the basis of 11 an acre.
The land would have made a splendid
goat pasture, located on top of one of the
Ozark mountains, ten miles from the near
est railroad and unfit for cultivation.
These men, without surveying their tract,
placed It on the market advertised that It
was within a short distance of a big coal
mine, was on a railroad and eventually
would be a big city. Their literature was
very alluring.
They went from town to town and on
street corners they distributed their lit
erature. They announced in each town
that fifty lots, no more, no less, would be
given away absolutely free. The drawing
of the lots was to advertise the countr.
The public oouldn't lose It was to get the
lots free. Here was an offer that listened
better than a gold mine. Where did theae
men ma.rs their money? I
Glvln Away Lota.
Every one of the lots given away meant
that the person accepting would have to
pay for the title a mere bagatelle. Espe
cially since the land Itself was obtained
for nothing. The men conducting the do
nation parties employed a Justice of the
peace not far from their mountain top, who
looked after all the deeds. The deeds were
printed by the thousand. He charged $4.50
for each transaction. As fifty lots were
given away each day this meant $i'2a. There
were approximately 4,200 lots in the tract,
and when all were disposed of It would
mean a clear profit of 83,780. By the
time the scheme got to working fine some
thing happened. The government learned
that the mails were being used to defraud.
There are many creditable companies that
buy up valuable land holdings In Texas
and western states and sell them in a
legitimate way. These reliable concerns
suffer because of the crook. He will buy
for a dollar an acre, perhaps, a big tract
of alkali land and advertised that with
irrigation It may be made a veritable para
dise. Lawyers are hired to word the adver
tisements alluringly, without making the
company liable for violating the postal
laws. Goldbrickers have a greater fear
of the federal law than that of the states.
Goldbrlcklng in land la only one of the
many modern methods. A Kansas City
doctor not long ago advertised an electric
machine which was an alleged cure for
catarrh and deafness. The advertisements
stated that the cure was free. All that
was necessary was for the patient to write
and medicine would be sent. Then when
the ailing person would write the doctor
would send blanks which were to be filled.
After getting a full description of the
disease-how long tha patient had been
ailing, the dumber of times other doctors
had attempted to effect a oure-the doctor
would write to his prospective patient that
the case was so complicated that mere
medicine would not cure It "what you
need is a head cap," the letters would say.
"And If you will agree to take my medicine
for two months at 88 a month, I will
furnish this head cap." in this way the
doctor hoped to avoid contact with the
postal laws. He was surprised when ar
rest followed. Before the arrest his busi
ness had expanded to such an extent that
twenty-four stenographers were kept busy
constantly, and it was estimated that he
was making approximately l0,0u0 a year.
Tha Diamond Trick.
Dtamonda make big profits for crooks.
Last week two prosperous appearing men
entered a Kansas City Jewelry store.
"We would like to get a diamond."
The Jeweler ascertained the slxe of stone
sought and displayed his wares. This gave
the crooks a chance to exchange a bogus
diamond for one of the good stones. The
trick would have succeeded had not a
woman connected with the store seen the
exchange She told the Jeweler.
"I have some blue ones here that I think
you would like to see," the Jeweler said as
he opened another drawer. He Jerked out
an automatic revolver and pointed it at his
customers, at the same time demanding
restitution. The command was obeyed and
the crooks hurried away.
The Plnkertons recently had their at
tention called to a new scheme-crooks
who work upon the butcher and the baker.
The first of the month when shop
keepers mail Itemised accounts there are
men who watch for the mall carrier.
Perhaps these letters are pushed under
an office door or tossed Into a mail box.
Crooks have a faculty of knowing how to
remove such letters by means of a small
wire. Once the bill Is In their possession
they call the butcher or baker by tele
phone, tell him that the account has bean
received and that the office girl will be
sent down with a check.
When a girl appears at the butcher
shop with a check to pay Mr. Brown's
bill, the butcher immediately remembers
that Mr. Brown called him on tha tele
phone. Everything seems all right. The
check la made out for $10 more than the
bill and the girl Is given the difference.
Nine times out of ten this scheme will
work.
Easy Marks in titles
George A. Leonard, a postoffice Inspec
tor, says that the old Idea that farmers
are the readiest victims in the gold-brick
schemes la a wrong Impression. Mr.
Leonard believes that the man In the city
working for a salary really gets fleeced
more than any other class. They seem
ready always to put their money into an
alleged bo n ansa a fake mining scheme.
But mines do not offer the field for crook
edness of twenty years ago. The people are
more wary than they used to be.
It was P. T. Barnum, who many years
ago observed: "There Is a sucker born
every minute." And Lawrence Spruce,
auperlntendent of the Kansas City dis
trict of the Plnkerton service, believes
that this la as true today as it was In
the days of the veteran circus man.
A well-to-do ranchman while on a visit
to Kansas City a short time ago made the
mistake of writing his name to a check
for $10,000. The ranchman thought he
was signing his address in an ordinary
memorandum book. This is the way It
was worked: A crook having learned that
the ranchman was prosperous and had
several thousand dollars on deposit In a
New Mexico bank, folded a check In a
memorandum book In such a manner that
the average man might examine the note
book without detecting the check.
The crook led the ranchman to believe
that he owned innumerable cattle on a
Wyoming ranch. He sought to buy tome
t holco stock from the New Mexico man t"
mix the breed. "Let me have your name."
tlii crxk Fnld. "and when I so back to
Wyoming I will rnall you pictures of my
ranch."
There could be no objection to that, the
New Mexican thotiRht, and he signed his
nnnio In what he believed was a memo
randum book.
When the New Mexico ranchman re
turned home, his hunker asked If he had
nought a farm. One surprise followed an
other. There was his name signed to a
' heck for 110 10 There must ho .nmr
mistake no, there couid bo none. Finally
it all dawned unnn the ranchman, hut too
late. It had been two weeks. He was the
loser, for was It not his signature upon
which the bank hud nnld the monevf
Down In llllrknpr Mrv ther 1. o rase
Pending In the courts to determine whether
a bank or the victim shall be the loser In
such cases. A patron of a Buckne-r bank
signed his name to a letter of recom
mendation. The crook traced the signa
ture onto a check with a drawing pencil.
Then the Impression was inked and thr
likeness was an exact reproduction of the
signature. The patron admits that It Is his
signature, but contends that he did not
lgn the check. The courts will have to
decide the case.
Most banks watch closely the accounts
of their patrons. Especially do the paytns
tellers. They are careful to know the per
sons to whom money Is paid and If the
amount Is Inrge they are doubly careful.
But often collections sre made through
other banks and the payee Is not Identified.
And even should a teller suspect that a
oheek Is bogus sometimes, It is not the
best business policy to call a depositor over
the telephone and ask him If the check to
Jones for $3,030 is all right Depositors,
many of them, especially If the transaction
Is with a friend, feel that the paying teller
Is annoying them and at the same time
embarrassing the friend when the telephone
is used to verify a transaction. So it goes.
Prejlna I'pnn Banks.
There are many ways in which sharks
prey upon banks. They are big game and
crooks realize that one haul from a bank
Is equivalent often to a dozen other ven
tures. The national banks of the United
States, to protect themselves from a gang
of sharpers who obtain money by tele
graph, found It necessary to establish a
universal cipher code. For example, a
Texas bank recently received a telegram
from an alleged Kansas Citv bank to n
John Jones $1,000. Jones explained that his
wire nad died, and the Texas bank, be
lieving that It was accommodating a Kan
sas City bank, paid the money. The cipher
oode will check this. But check It only,
because the state banks have no universal
code, and were a crook to get hold of this
code used by the national banks it Would
mean a big loss to the institutions which
happened to be the victims. Paying money
by telegraph is a factor that Is entering
more and more Into the legitimate business
world every day.
In a New York bank a queer Incident
happened last month. A package of valu
able securities was thought at first to
have ben stolen from a safety deposit
vault. The manager of the Institution
showed that this would have been Impos
sible. Th- r lit iMtron remembered an in
cident which explained everything.
Man is more or less a creature of habit.
A member of the gold brick fraternity sta

e learned the habits of the different cus
tomers. One patron of the bank waa seen
dally carrying the same kind of . an en

in the rush of the busy hours am thin mun
came Into the bank, he stumbled at the
aoor, He ran Into a heavy Individual. The
envelope fell to the floor and a little man
who was near picked It up and seemingly
returned It to the owner.
Aill went about their business. A week
later, after the patron had

he remembered that the little man had
