Postmaster-General Hitch cock today save out a statement In which he said the operations of this concern through the alleged fraudulent ttse of the malls doubtless would ex ceed a million dollars. The aliened fraud was committed, he says, by uie of bogus bills of lading covering ficti tious ihipmrnts. Mr. Hitchcock asserts that by mak ing to Insurance companies fake re ports of shipments, certificates of In surance were procured covering both railway and marine risks. These cer tificates were accepted as Indicating the honesty of the shipment and the bills of lading thus accepted were ne gotiated by New York brokers, who procured payments from the foreign Importers in advance of delivery. It Is chiefly azalnst these foreign buyers of cotton that the fraud Is alleged to have been committed. The effect of this procedure." the statement says, "was to create a wide spread lack of confidence In our cot ton export trade, causing great em barrassment to reliable exporters. Mr. Hitchcock declares that transac tions of Knight. Yancey Ac Co. were similar to those of another concern of Corinth. Miss., whose members were recently Indicted on evidence procured by postoff.ee Inspectors. The I'ost-master-neneral's statement alleges that the Investigation developed that two concerns had an arrangement by which they exchanged drafts, each holding power of attorney for the other lo ac cept such drafts, and that together they committed frauds aggregating be tween two and three million dollars. Mr. Hitchcock says of the operations of t-andel. Griffin tc Co.. of Cleveland, the principals of which concern were arrested, by postoffice Inspectors for the alleged fraudulent use of the malls In selling oil stock through misrepre sentation: "The successful development of cer tain legitimate oil projects during the last year has been taken advantage of by some promoters to defraud the pub lic through the sale of stock In wild rat oil companies.
