Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AS you probably know, the money
that la being hoarded In this
eountry la supposed to amount to
about a billion dollars.
Along that line, here Is a new one
that was sprung on this writer yes
terday: The large increase In hoarded
money during the past year la said
to be due to a surprising extent to
BOOTLEGGERS who have taken
their money out of the banks and
ut It In safe deposit vaults.
WHY did the bootleggers rush their
money out of the banks and
Into the safe deposit vaults?
Well, .here Is the way the story
runs: They were SCARED by Al
Oft pone's conviction. Capone, you
know, wss convicted of defrauding
the government on hla Income tax
. returns.
The evidence that resulted In his
conviction was obtained by tracing
his various bank accounts.
TIE rest of the bootlegging tribe,
being required by the very na
ture of their business to be fslrly
astute Individuals, capable of put
ting two and two together, are sup
nosed to have said to themselves:
Aha! They got the Big Shot by
tracing his bank accounts, did they?
If that la the case. It doesn't pay us
to have bank accounts, because they
might trace ours and get C3 In the
same way."
Whereupon, If this, story la any
thing like correot, they took their
money out of the banks and put It
In safe deposit boxes and thereafter
paid their debts In cold cash Instead
of by check.
BUT there are fl'es In every oint
ment, as you may Judge for
yourself by this sad tale, which Is
being related along with the other
one:
Two modestly successful bootleg
gers were associated together, and
following the Capone Incident they
took their money, amounting to
about 140,000, out of the bank and
put It away In a ssfe deposit box.
They figured they were pretty smart.
But they had a falling out one
day, and shortly after the tiff it oc
curred to one of them that It might
be a shrewd Idea to go down and take
a look at the cash.
When he got there, having trav
eled with all the apeed he could
muster, he found the box EMPTY.
Els psrtner had had the same Idea
and had It FIRST.
HIS grief, aa you may Imagine,
went unheeded. People may
patronize the bootlegger, but they do
not pity him In his hours of woe.
Re Is supposed to be fair game for
anybody.
AS ALREADY stated, the amount
of money In hoarding in this
country la supposed to be' about a
billion dollars.
How Is tftat figure arrived at? Is
It a mere guess?
Not exactly. It is partly guessw6rk
and psrtly based on fact.
HERE Is the way they go about
estimating the amount of money
that Is being hosrded:
The total amount of money in cir
culation la accurately known. The
amount of money required for the
transaction of business csn be esti
mated with a fair degree of accuracy
by men who are expert at that sort
of thing.
The difference between the amount
of money in circulation and the
amount required for the transaction
of business Is regarded as represent
ing roughly the hoarding that Is go
ing on.
nrHIS will surprise you a little, If
you haven't taken the time to
figure such things out.
The extent of hoarding Is Indicated
by MORE money outstanding and
not by LESS. Just offhand, you
wouldn't think of It that way, would
you? Ton would think It would be
the other way around.
Here Is the way It works out: As
more money Is hid awsy by the
hoarders, there Is less money out
standing and available for carrying
on business. So, under our flexible
system, more money Is Issued to meet
the demsnd.
The money that Is hoarded, you

MEDFORD WOMAN
INTENDED VICTIM,
BUT PL0 FOILED
Bogus Checks Used In At
tempt to Gain Possession
of Securities Owned by
Mrs. S. Sumpter Smith
Tracing the operations In this city
of a group of alleged bond swindlers,
one of whom la held at Roseburg, 8.
Sumpter Smith of this city today
reported hla Interview of Saturday
with a man w.ho announced himself
as J. W. Roberts, representative of
the California Water Service com
pany. Roberts called Mr. Smiths wife
from Ashland Saturday morning, and
announced that the Coos Bay Water
company bonds, of which Mrs. Smith
owns two, were being called In and
that he would pay for them at par
value plus accrued Interest of 930.
Mrs. Smith telephoned Mr. Smith,
who continued the Interview with
the sgent, w.ho assured him that he
would pay for the bonds the total of
$2060 with a certlfed check on the
Pacific National bank of San Fran
cisco. When Mr. Smith voiced ap
proval of the deal, the said "Mr. Rob
erta" stated that he would be un
able to bring the check to Medford
himself, but would send a messen
ger with the money, claiming that
he waa in a .hurry to get to Klamath
Falls, where more of the bonds were
being called In.
Swindler Drops Attempt
Mr. Smith, Immediately leary of
the deal, assured the man that he
would surrender the bonds to the
messenger after consulting the bank
and assuring himself that the money
was there to be given In exchange
for the bonds, The messenger did
not appear.
Roberts had also called B. E. Har
der of the First National bank In
this city..
An investigation through the San
Francisco bsnk made the following
episode brought Mr. Smith the In
formation that a swindle was being
operated and that the checks being
used by the representaltves were
forged cashiers' checks.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Sept, 21. (AP)
A coast-wide search for a reputed
gang of swindlers has been launched
aa the result of the arrest here last
night of Everett H. Priest, 26, of
Danville, III., who waa captured In a
police trap laid for operators of bond
swindlers at Stockton and San Jose,
Cel., and Medford and O rants Pass,
Ore.
Priest claims to be a hitch-hiker
used as a pseudo bank messenger by
two manlplators of an attempted lo
cal bank swindle, who are believed
to have escaped In an automobile
when Priest was captured by waiting
officers.
Same Method Used
The operation at Roseburg was
Identical with attempts In California,
Medford, and other Oregon cities, of
fleers report. Mrs. C. W. Davis of
this city received a telephone call
Monday from a man claiming to be
a representative of a Washington
State Power company. Mrs. Davis
Vie holder of a Coos Bay Water com
pany bond of 91000, was Informed
that the Washington concern was
buying the Coos Bay plant and en
deavoring to call in all of . the bonds.
She waa offered par value for the
security plus accrued Interest of 930.
When she agreed to the offer she
waa advised that a bank messenger
would call on her.
Suspicion Aroused
Later becoming suspicious, Mrs.
Davis called the Coos Bay company
by telephone and was advised that
no such sale was In prospect and to
notify local authorities.
A representative of the Coos Bay
company at once .hastened to this
city and assisted In the police trap
plans.
In accordance with prearranged
plans the bond was placed In a down
town office and Priest was arrested
when he appeared for It with a check
for 91030, drawn on the Pacific Na
tional bank of San Francisco. Priest
told officers he had been picked up
by two men In a light car and In
structed to deliver the check and
obtain the bond. He described the
car and occupant and it later de
veloped that; the auto was seen here
Priest's story wu carefully checked
and officers are satisfied Viat he was
used as a dupe by the real culprits.
Messages received here by the offi
cers Indicate that the same sort of
swindle was tried In other coast
cities.
H. F. English, school superintend
ent at Myrtle Creek, also a holder of
one of the Cooa Bay water bonds,
report that he, too, waa contacted
with the same offer and had arrang
ed for delivery of the bond today,
having withdrawn the security from
a Eugene bank.

CITY HALL RENT

. A three-year lease waa signed with
the city schools, which asked for a
three or five-year lease, the latter

a five-year lease on the space would
extend over too great a period and

ment, asking for Improvement of
Hamilton avenue, was presented by
Councilman J. O. Orey, who stated
that under the present conditions the
road Is a great obstacle to the mall
carrier on that route. During the

The action followed a meeting be

the case postponed until the October
term of court, and a stipulation had
been filed whereby Bates agreed as
part of a sale of his mining prop
erty to move to Linn dunty, Oregon,
on or before February, 1033. The
court held that It would not in all
probability be reached until the Oc
tober term of court and Inasmuch aa
serious charges had been hurled
bearing upon the case it would be
well to have the matter aired ana
disposed of.
The case has been extensively cited
i a sample of "the breakdown of

ROGER?
BEVERLY IIILLS, Cel., Sept ,
20. I have been out of town
working and missed an old
friend that wag out here, Jose
phus Daniels. He wai out here
spreading some Roosevelt bait.
He is a grand old man is
Uncle Joe," and he ought to
know Roosevelt, for he worked
for him six years.
Did see Sfayor Curler, how-
ever. He runs the great city of
Boston without an investiga
tion. Curley sincerely believes
Roosevelt will carry 48 states. I
haven't heard from my good
friend Amon Carter of Texas. I
am afraid he is taking politics
too serious for he was awfully
able and entertaining before.
California's having more fog
than ever in its history. I ar
rived here during a Democratic
administration and it was sun
ny and bright. So there goes
Hoover again fire, fog and
lack of rain is liable to lose him
the state.
Some guy Invented "vitamin
A" out of a carrot. I'll bet he
can't invent a good meal out
of one.
Yours,
