Accused of Selling Worth

Philadelphia, Dec. 11. A gigantic
swindle exceeding even the wildest
dream of the mythical J. Rufus Wal
lingford, was revealed today, officials
declared, when United States postal in
spectors conducted a wholesale raid that
resulted in warrants being issued for
the arrest of men who had formerly
stood well in Philadelphia business cir
cles.
One of the swindles is declared by
the authorities to have involved $2,500,-
000 most of it the money of widows
and orphans.
Eight companies named by the auth
orities as being involved are:
The International Gas and Electric
company, Philadelphia.
Buchman and company, Logan, Phila
delphia. Concord Gas company, Concord, N. C.
The Suburban Oas company of East
Syracuse, N. Y.
The Gaston Gas company, Gaston, N.
C :
Georgetown Railway and Light com
pany, Georegtown, H. C.
Southern Gas and Electric company,
Philadelphia.
With the single wexception of the
Bankers of Independence, all passed in
to the hands of a receiver in December,
1615, in one grand smash, said Smith.
Three men were arrested thus far to
day. They are: George P. Lancaster,
Albert. Lancaster and Percy K. Kissing
er, all of Philadelphia. They are
charged with using the mails to de
fraud. Three other men of the same concern
already are under, indietment on the
same charge. They are: Clawson Bach
man, Joseph T. Hayden and Amos F.
Nissiley, the latter of Steelton, Pa.
In special automobiles, escorted by
city detectives, the postal inspectors
started on a round of the homes where
members of the nation-wide gang lived.
Arrests will sxceel 20 before the raid
is over, the authorities declared, and

AUTHORITY PLACED
IN HANDS OF FIVE
TO CONDUCT THE WAR
By Ed L. Keen
(United Press staff correspondent)
Loudon, Dec. 11. The energizing
force of Lloyd-George 's magic touch
has within five days electrified the
British nation.
While the new war dictator was to
day forced to his bed with a chill
brought on by a fortnight of 20 hour
working days, Ixmdon was in a fever of
enthusiasm or the new order. That
the most cursed and most respected
figure in the last half century of Brit
ish politics is to have the full force of
the British nation behind him in what
ever he does became evident today.
Not only the press of the nation, but
the faces of every man, woman and
street urchin reflected the fact.
' The seemingly impossible has been ac
complished, 'i lie hard shell of British
conservatism has been cracked. Vener
ation for precedent and the thing which
"is done" has gone into the discard.
For the first time since August 1, 1914,
John Bull is looking forward, not
Btumbling along with his glance back
over his shoulder.
Triumph of Democracy
While the German press is referring
with contempt to the new British "dic
tator," Englishmen, even staunch con
servatives of the Xorthcliffe type, are
visualizing the 'new, development as
democracy's greatest triumph of the
century.
Moreover, it is apparent that Lloyd
George is DO man's man, but his own.
Charges of newspapers antagonistic to
the Welshman that be was a mere tool
of Lord Xorthcliffe have been effectu
ally dissipated by Uoyd-George 'i
choice of two men in his ministry who
have been particularly mider the fire

EVERYBODY READS IT
.lust to prove that people do

Mr. Thompson of The Peo
ple's Meat Market inserted an
ad in which his phone number

The latter number proved to
be an apartment in the Court

the apartments spent most all
of this morning telling folks
that they would not be aole to

were insisting on leaving.
We insert this apology to the
Court Apartments and in order
that they will not have to stay

the phone or fill meat orders.

Seattle, Wash-, Dec. 11. Mrs. H. C.
Bowers, wife of "Pop" Bowers, man
ager of the Calhoun hotel, was reported
by physicians today in a very serious
condition. Mrs. Bowers is not expected
to survive the day. She has been suf
fering from Bright 's disease for two
years.
"Pop" Bowers, who has been head
of the Calhoun hotel here for the last
six mouths, is one of the best known ho

supreme command, tlie lirilisli people
see a free people's answer to the claim,
repeatedly made since August 1, that
in a crisis their democincv with its scat
tered control and its divided authority
cannot cope with the efficiency nnd
the force of centralized power possible
under an autocracy of the German type.
Prance went a long way toward de
veloiing the Herman argument so far
as it concerned the military, when she
produced .loffre. The British believe
thev have clinched the argument (even
though it required -H months) by a pro
cess of elimination which has finally
placed in the hands of the man who has
had the confidence of an overwhelming
majority the supreme power to mobil
ize and direct the entire strength of
the British empire.
Just "Pep" and "Ginger"
It is the British idea that democracy
has answered autocnuiy by showing
that it does not fear centralized power
but has gone a step further by select-
ing its own administration of that pow- j
The new order contains six striking,
characteristics that the old order lack-1
ed initiative, innovation, expedition,1
nationalism, concentration and cour
age. Apparently l.loyd-George first de
termination was that the administra
tion to be successful must institute an
entirely new system in the conduct of
the war and in cabinet procedure re
gardless of precedents ami traditions,
The rapidity with which he not only
corralled the support of the labor party
and made up the personnel of the cab
inet, but actually got his new war
council workinte before the members
were sworn in, demonstrates not only j
the "ginger" of the man who is now
England's prime minister, but his ap-!
preeiation of the vital urgency of the
situation Britain now faces.
Embodies All Elements
The new government embodies in an j
unprecedented degree all England's na- j
lional elements. It is noteworthy in i
that business men eliminate as much
as possible the purely professional poli
tieians heretofore bulking largely in
cabinets. A striking illustration of the
w ide range shown in Lloyd-George 's ;
selections is in the laborites, who were
