WAY TO PREY UPON KINFOLK OF DEAD CHICAGO (UP) Racketeers have found a way to cash In on death. The "Memorial ocroir racket, a ghoulish farce In which confidence men plan months In advance to ex tract a "fin" or "sawbuck' (85 or 10) from dazed relatives of ths de ceased, Is handled this way; Calling themselves the "Institute of Brotherly Love." "The Arms-Around-t he-Neck Foundation," or by some such name, the racketeers cir cularize a list of clergymen over the nation. They ask clergymen for expressions of opinion regarding a plan to pro mote good will among Protestants, Jews, Catholics and other faiths. In many cases, and In good faith, the churchmen answer. After several months have passed, the racketeers notice that someone Is dead In Cleveland and that some rabbi Is mentioned in connection with funeral services, or that a prom inent phyalclan Is dead In Minne apolis and that a minister whose name Is on their list to preach the services. A 1-tter Is written, along this line: "The deceased was a member of the Institute of Brotherly Love. It Is the custom of the Institute upon the death of a member to send hla sur viving kin a Memorial Scroll that can be treasured for years." The institute In a postscript, says It will be. glad to send the scroll for 10. Many of the survivors want some token to remember the deceased by, and readily agree on a memorial scroll showing that he preached tol erance and good will in life. A $10 blll, under the circumstances, Is large and consequently the racketeers pro fit by about 90.50. There are other con games designed to prey on relatives of the deceased, Including the C.O.D. package con taining a fountain pen on which the dead man allegedly paid a $1 deposit. But, after all, the game does not always center on the desd.
