TTAKHLVOTON. Nov. 24 Comment
Ins; on the arrest yesterday by o.t
offlce Inspectors of John W. KnUh(.
senior member of the cotton brokerage
firm of Knlcht, Ianrj Co.. of De
catur. Ala.. 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.
Investigation recently made hare
disclosed the fact that the malls are
being extensively used In these operations.
