Bined Street station of the Pennsylvania p * . r °* d B " d the abutments on thc Philadelphia side of the Delaware I river bridge, were, likewise, glv en as part of the "Raker" estate. Then, to make the proposition ( m °re attractive to the Intended victim*, there were added to the Baker estate eleven thousand acre* of valuable coal, lead and zinc lands throughout the State of Pennsyl 1 , vania. , I A so-called will, dated December | Tt, 1539, and claimed to have been executed by one Jacob Baker, was 1 used by the promoters of this swindle to obtain money from their ! victims. The will purported to, dispose of the valuable property mentioned in the city of PhlladeL phis and the mineral lands throughout the state to so-called heirs of Baker. The scheme of some of the groups carrying on the I racket was to solicit money through the mails and otherwise for the pretended purpose of pro- ( bating the alleged will, if the per-! son solicited was not a Baker or' Becker descendant, then he was sold a share in the mythical e*-' Ute. Other groups solicited “enrollmenta” at ten or twenty dollars each, in addition to “member*! ship*" with tnonthly dues. Inspectors assigned to this work I thought it very unusual that an authentic will to such valuable property should remain unproted for aTmost one hundred years Through court proceedings the al- 1 leged will was obtained. Inspect-1 ors caused the paper and the writing thereon to be analyzed by a chemical engineer and handwriting i expert. It was discovered that the paper on which the will was writ ten was not manufactured until about 1890, over fifty years after its date. The paper had been arti fically aged. The signatures of the witnesses to the will had been forged, it was discovered. The in-1 formation thus obtained by the in- , spectors proved beyond a doubt j that the promoters were attempt-' ing to pass off a forged and spurious instrument to the thousands of persons, who believed and were led to believe they were heirs to . a vast estate. As the will In question and representations of the promoters called for property throughout Pennsylvania as part of the alleged inheritance. it became necessary for I the inspectors to trace in and out of the name of "Baker" or "Beck er” and various companies in which they were interested every piece of real estate in the sixty- : seven counties of Pennsylvania from 1682 to the presnt time. Over ; four hundred days were consumed in the work. The search disclosed that none of the property called 1 for in the alleged will was owned by a Jacob Baker or any other Baker at the time it was purported ito have been executed. It was further ascertained that there is no vast unsettled and undistributed Baker or Becker estate any where in the State of Pennsylvania. Another false claim of the pro-1 moters of this swindle was that Jacob Baker or some other Baker had executed a 99-year lease to one Martin Yalas on property upon which most of the buildings in Philadelphia now stand. Another method by which money was obtained from victims of the swindle was in the compilation and sale to them of so-called; genealogical charts. Needless to say. these traced the ancestors of the victims hack to the Baker or Becker of whom they were supposed to be an heir. Charges for these charts ranged from one to fifty dollars or whatever the traffi' would bear. Many of the swindlers organized I into "associations', "leagues", etc. Memberships were sold to victims in every state of the Union, ranging from one to twenty dollars. This amount, however, was not the limit of loss of any particular individual. When the promoters found one willing, able and ready; to pay. special attention was given him. Through false and alluring promises he was frequently entic- j, ed to part with his cash. The investigation revealed several per l, sons whose contributions amounted to from one thousand to seven | thousand dollars apiece. The inspectors found that the , promoters had represented that , various banks hud trust companies ] in Philadelphia were holding mil lions of dollars for “Baker heirs. | which sums were supposed to rep | resent rentals and other collections , resulting from the alleged 99 year leases executed by the Baker an-, cestors years ago. It was discov I ered by the inspectors that not a single penny was held by any of the financial Institutions mentioned in the literature of the promot- - ers. . , 1 1 During the trials of the promot- -1 ers of this swindle, inspectors pro- i duced thousands of letters contain- t ing false representation* and prom- i lees mailed by them to their vic- ( tints. It was claimed that Jacob; Baker was a colonel or captain in 1 the Revolutionary War and that in c return for his military services he s was given valuable laud grants, s Inspectors produced proof from the r war and navy departments that | < there never was a Jacob Baker i

from Pennsylvania who served **T a commiuioned officer in the army or navy during the Revolution, r urthermore, no land grants were made by the United States on account of such alleged service. Other promoters represented that' the treasury department was holding vast sums for distribution i among the supposed heirs. The; inspectors proved that there were! no such funds In the treasury. It was also claimed by promoter* of the racket that millions of dollars were available for distribution to the purported heirs of Baker a* a result of the French Spoliations in indemnities. This was proven to be false in every particular. During the investigation, inspector* unearth evidence to show that a total of forty-four different organizations at one time or another engaged in the operation of this gigantic swindle. Most of them i after conducting their scheme for a comparatively brief period would fold up when the pressure from their victims became too great. Some of the members, however, would inspire the creation of new I organizations. They, in turn, would disappear after defrauding those : victims it could entice into their I clutches. These spurious practices continued for many years. Finally, relief was requested from the post . office department. It was then the matter was placed in the hands of the inspectors of the department who exploded the myth and secured evidence resulting in the conviction of twenty-four out of the twenty-five swindlers who were brought to trial. There is no Baker estate and there never had been such an es--1 tate that could possibly be the subI ject of such schemes. Something . that started as a rumor grew into a gigantic fraud. Thousands of people were deceived into contributing their time and money for many years without any return or possibility of reward. o LEADERS PLAN ((VWtvrs-n (trum >•<ns- <~>KFD_ i have been cast aside.

The crop surplus control bill, likewise, will be carried over until the next session unless Mr. Roosevelt can devise I some new means of persuasion. Development of last ditch opposition to some of Mr. Roosevelt’s favorite projects appeared to some observers to he accompanied by White House strategy to consolidate the new deal and prepare for battle with conservatives within the party.

The booking office was opened this afternoon for the President Jefferson. An hour before bookings were opened, hundreds thronged the office, and 150 tickets were sold in one hour. The crowds jammed offices, hallways and overflowed into the street. So great was the press that steamship line officials were considering selling deck passage to the overflow.

Calif., with his $125,0001 j "Flying Gas Tank" which carries so much fuel it has to be loaded in ; the air from a refueling plane 'and can make the trip from Fair-j ) banks to the pole and return without a stop.
