MAKING IT HARD FOR BANK CROOKS | How the Nation’s Bankers Are Banded Together in War on Crime —The Great Crook Trap and the Way It Works. By JOHN OAKWOOD The slick gentry who have been wont to walk into banks and mesmerize paying tellers into giving them good cash for worthless checks have recently become aware of the fact that their operations are daily growing more difficult. Crooks who have operated with apparent immunity for years have suddenly found themselves caught in the meshes of what amounts to a nation wide crook trap. To show how, effectively this is now working, one of the biggest figures among the worthless check operators, a man who claims to have defrauded dozens of banks and realized more than $300,000 from his operations, recently fell into the toils of the trap. Realizing that he was hopelessly caught, he made a complete confession.

This trap is conducted by the Protective Department of the American Bankers Association, which includes in its membership more than 22,000 banks that are thus leagued in a perpetual warfare against the army of bank crooks scattered throughout the nation. A Dramatic Arrest A dramatic illustration of the workings of the association’s detective department was recently staged in

te. ts* ~ w * x ~

Buffalo, N. Y.. resulting in the sudden downfall of a pair of check swindlers and terminating a year’s successful operations in some fifteen cities in various sections of the country. The pair began theftr operations tw'Buffalo in the mlMle of January, oao of them appearing at the special savings account window of a bank there.

He presented, a counter check on the bank for >75.60r together with a deposit slip filled in for >20.60. He also presented a second deposit slip for >3. proffering with It >3 in currency. He told the teller that he wanted to deposit the two items, that is. S 3 in cash and >20.60 out of the check, to the credit of his wife, explaining that he had forgotten to bring her book but would return with it . later. His cash and the check were accepted, totaling >78.60, From this sum his wife's supposed account was credited with >23.60, the total of the two deposit slips, and he was given >55 cash In change. After the man left the bank the teller became suspicious due to his prolonged failure to return as he had promised with his wife’s deposit book. On investigation the check he had left was found to tie worthless. The bank communicated with the local detective, office of the association, giving a complete description of the man. The Alarm la Given Later that same day the detective office received another report from a second bank that it had been similarly defrauded by a man answering the description given by the first bank. Steps were at once taken to set a trap for him should he attempt further operations. All surrounding banks were warned that he was in the vicinity and a complete description was given them of hip appearance and of his mode of operating. They were advised to have their tellers and guards on the lookout and to com-, municate at once by telephone with the detective office in case anyone appeared in thei£ lobbies who seemed to answer to the description of the man wanted. They were also iaAUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION The most authentic figures on automobile production shows that in 1900 only 4,000 cars were manufactured. The next year the figure jumped 'to 25,000. Three years later it was 1,000,000. In 192 Q over 2.000,000 were constructed and in 1923 over 4,000,000. The total machines made to the end of last year is over 20,000,000' of which 4.000,000 have gone to the junk pile. The estimated value of cars made in this [country is about sixteen billion’ dollars. The United States has: 83 per cent of the cars of the! world. S _O NO REASON FOR IT When Syracuse Citizens show a There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disor-j decs, the pains and dangers of] kidney ills will fail to heed the L words of a neighbor who has I; found relief.

structed to take steps to detain him , in the bank. i Early the next afternoon the tele- ( phone rang in the detective office and L a message came from a third bank that they thought the man was in its lobby. Three detectives rushed to ■ the bank in an automobile which had been held continuously in waiting. Two of the detectives covered the - entrances of the bank and the third • went into the lobby. He at once i noticed a short, wen dressed man

standing at one side and watching the line of people at the tellers’ windows, in the line he noticed a large man. answering the description of the bad check operator he was seeking. The detective approached the man who at once scented trouble and tore up the papers he had in his band, hiding the pieces in his

pocket. Atsignsof his putting up a the detective grappled with him and called to his two associates at the doors to arrest the other man whom he had noticed as he entered. After a short struggle the two men were overpowered. When the larger of the two was searched a torn check was found in his pocket, made out in the same writing as the two that had been successfully passed the day before. A number of similar checks all prepared for use, were also found on his confederate. When confronted by the tellers of the banks who had been victimized the day before, the leader was readily identified- The two prisoners were hopelessly ensnared. admitted their guilt and in their hotel rooms were found a large number of checks, deposit slips and pass books of banks- in various cities. The Trap Sprung Again Similar quick action of the bank crook trap in Boston terminated the career of another check forger who had been operating successfully in the New England states. The banks which he had victimized notified the American Bankers Association with the result that all other banks in the territory were warned against him and were put on guard. Therefore, when he walked into a Bostoß bank to continue his operations he walked into a trap as he was immediately recognized and nabbed by the officers there. These are only two instances at many that have recently taken place tn various parts of the country. Some of these arrests have brought into the toils of the authorities some of the slickest operators in this line in the country and from them have been learned the details of the way bank crooks operate, placing in the hands of the detective department the means to put banks on guard against further depredations. THINK FIRST People who are ready to cut down a fine old shade tree the moment it seems to obstruct a sidewalk or interfere with business the least bit ought to pause before they order the axe applied and consider how long it took that tree to become what it is. We may well look at old trees with respect, even with veneration. Think what they have seen how many and what different ! phases of progress. The famous old Washington elm which recently came down in Cambridge, ■Mass., was estimated to have from 204 to 210 years old. <Rkat tremendous changes have taken place during the life of that tree! When it was planted this country consisted of only scattered colonies, and New York City had a population of only 30,000. It took years and years to grew many of the stately trees we find in this vicinity, but it takes but a few minutes to rob mankind of their beauty and comfort. Once gone they are gone forever, and the man of middle-age who plants one to replace another will not live to see his planting attain maturity. These old trees have value apart from beauty and cooling shade. They are a part of the life of the town and the community and: older residents who have grown I up with them, and watched them; grow have learned to love them, to almost look upon them as aj part of their own life. When one : of them is cut it is like the passing of an old friend. Maybe there’s away to get along with-I out cutting it, away that will! not interfere with progress and? yet leave you happier because you spared the axe. . — o —— The Journal* 52 times a year | for $2,

Dr. Jordan asserts that ‘‘public opinion must become as high and as fine as is most private opinion as to the necessity for perpetual peace . In the schools of today, is the hope of the future. Education is the only certain way out of the present dilemma. The present generation controls the immediate future, but little children control the long future. Both must be educated, and the best line of education for peace is in the study of history. War should be taught as it is and not.glorified. o :— Naturalization papers were granted to 12,296' aliens in the United States during February.
