Fake Applicants For Relief Spotted, by Social Service Few Questions Bring Out Fact That Imposters Are Telling raise Stories, Says Local Worker Explains ?' Methods of Determining Worth.

If yo should get stranded in Richraond.and want the wherewithal to pet ou don't take a false story to the SociaJService bureau when you ask for 2vP. can spot fake applicants for relief retty easily now," said one of thevorkers at the bureau. "It takes on) a few suggestions to weed out th'fake ones." When a man or woman comes with t story that they are stranded in achmond, without tne money to leave 6wn, the first question asked is 'where can you get some?' The faker always has a good supply some place, where he can get it after we have sent him on," the worker said, "so the first suggestion ts that the bureau telegraph for the money. "Most of the fakers give up when that sort of a proposition is put up to them, and. either just get out, or start

to say things about the stinginess of a charity organization that was supposed to help a fellow that had 'lost his luck.' Give Wrong Address. ' "A few of the more nervy ones, though, will even allow the bureau to

telegraph to some name that they

have given, hoping that they will be kept until an answer can be received. But even that dodge does not work

when a telegram is also sent to the welfare organization in the city so that a quick answer can be assured." One of the most consistent jobs the bureau has is to investigate beggars that start soliciting the down-town districts. The men of a' group st up a camp on one of the by-roads near town, and send the women into the city to beg. As soon as the bureau is notified, they hunt up the women and get their story. "Can I do something for you?" they

ask the women they find approlTTTiaiS a house. The answer is a tfclcn'.ot woe of a husband sick and cu t of work, and poor little ones at -home. Ah offer of a rida to the home ill ahen refused, because the woman dc4?s not want to take the time of thel Tkind lady." ; "Kind Lady" Insists .' The "kind lady" however, tinsist?, and then will begin a tour of town, until the woman finally has give m two

or three different addresses and has convicted herself as a fakec Then the outside of the city hall is 'isually sufficient to get the real storey i of the camp, and a warning from the rnficials sends the campers out of thei county. False petitions and docurrj'jnts are plentiful in the life of the w srker at the bureau. These may be of ton obtained from legitimate sources , but be so combined with other papei s as to be real frauds. ' "We simply investigate," f n'.d the worker, "and the suggestion 1 iat two or three persons be called atiout the matter is enough to uncover it b whole thing. Nearly everything w..E come out under those circumstance;.'' Uses Statements. !

Not long ago a woman from' a near

by town was found soliciting lunds on the strength of a doctor's' tvriten statement which she had had i sworn to without his consent. With .a pre

face to the statement of the physician, she had framed a petition to get money. Richmond was the fourth or fifth place that she had worked before she was captured. The welfare organizations in several

cities work well together to check fake claims. One afternoon the Richmond bureau was approached by a woman who wanted support, claiming that her husband had deserted her.- Her claim seemed well founded, and tE bureau

I was preparing for action, when a tele

gram was received from the 'Indianapolis bureau asking about the husband. He had applied there for transportation to Florida, claiming that he had sent his sick wife there with the

fast money fnat he had. Now he wanted to jojn her ther, to take care 'of her. He had given Richmond as an i old home, thinkinz that i was far

enough away to be safe. The two applications were handled together, with the result that the husband was ordered by court to support his wife.

RAIL MESSAGE

(Continued from Pajre One.)

suffered a broken leg and other injur

ies when he was attacked on' the

streets of Pueblo, Colo. Mrs. Nels Hansen, wife of a Santa

Fe shop foreman, was shot and killed in her home. Police took up the trail of two men who are said tohave at tacked her. , James Lewis, a striking Pennsylvania railroad machinist, was shot to death by Charles Parsons, a wealthy real estate man at Cape Charles, Va., following a dispute over the strike. Lewis accused Parsons of "listening over the shoulders of strikers when they gathered to discuss the strike. Three alleged strikers were arrested at Milwaukee following an outbreak in which strikers were' said to have stoned a passing train. Troops on Guard Troops remained on guard in virtually all places where soldiers were sent to quell riots earlier in the strike. These include five towns in Kansas Parsons; Newton, Herington, Hoisington and Horton and three in Illinois Bloomington, Clinton and Joliet. Local authorities asked for troops at Spencer, N. C; where shopworkers were routed by strike sympathizers. Major Stiles, in command of troops at Clinton, 111., recommended martial law followed renewed disturbances in which several men were injured. Outbreaks were reported from Cedar Rapids, la., Superior and Janesvllle, Wis., Birmingham, Mobile and Albany, Ala., and Scranton, Pa. An attempt was made to blow up the tracks of the Louisville & Nashville at

Birmingham and a plot to wreck a , train on the same road at Mobile was i discovered while the home of an L. & N. employe was attacked by bullets and bombs. Traffic on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific was blocked at Elecno, Okla., where a railroad bridge was burned. Farmers reported that two men were seen to fire the bridge. Sidetrack Coal. Striking miners forced the crew, of a Mobile and Ohio train to sidetrack five . cars of coal at Willysville, 111. The coal had been in storage and was assigned to East St. Louis. Crews on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois trains at Cypress Junction. 111. refused to move coal through the coal belt of southern Illinois when they learned the coal was dug by non-union men in the Kentucky and Alabama fields. A jury in federal court at Kansas City, Mo., returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of four men charged with violation of an anti-picketing injunction obtained by the St. Louis. San Francisco railroad at Springfield, Mo.

J New injuctions included one granted I to the New Orleans and Northeastern. restraining strikers from interferring j with the operation of trains in Louisi- ! ana.
