New Yorkers Are Flimflainmed Almost
Every Day.
MANY FRAUDS. ARE PRACTICED
Stoi ies That Go to Show How Even
the Most Sophisticated Arc Robbed
-^ Crooks are Busy Just Now.
(By Frederick J. Raskin.)
New York'?The idea, usually so
popular with city people that all rubes
live in the-: rcountry seems to lack
force in. New York, this season. Too
many people are being cleviyly separated
from their small change. For in
the wake of the crime wave has come
an epidemic of petty graft, to which
the shrewd, sophisticated New Yorker
has succumbed as easily as he did to
last year's fttijr showing himself to be
ciuite as gullible as his rural relatives.
Hardened Shopkeepers of long city
training hav<? been buying fake furs
and paste jewels with a reckless good
nature that would astonish even a
suburb and thousands of canny Broadway
residents have been contributing
to fake causes with a sentimental
abandon rarefy exhibited by the citizens
of small1 towns. In spite of ail
the talk about money being tight,
beggars and fraud specialists are having
a nicer time in New York this
year than they have ever had before.
Here is the sort of thing which is
constantly happening to enliven the
atmosphere along Broadway and Fifttfi
avenue. ?
The other night a friend of the reporter,
a shrewd vo'ung business man
in Wall street, was on his way home
when he was accosted by a welldressed,
well-built stranger, who
stretched forth a gloved hand in delighted
recognition.'
"I don't suppose you remember me,"
said the unknown one, with an admirable
mixture of cordiality and reserve,
"but 1 have seen you so often on
the street. I'm employed in the next
office building: you know. Here in
New York we don't speak to people so
readily as we do in my home town,
but I've often wanted?. Well, I'm
awfully lucky to run into you now,
for I'm in need of help. Just had an
accident and had to haul my car into
a garage about three blocks from
here and now J find I'm just five dollars
short'of the he pair hill. Worst of
it is I promised to meet my wife at
the Nation this afternoon. She'll be
loaded down with Christmas junk and
won't have a cent left. As soon as I
caught sight of'" you, though, it occurred
to ine that you might be able to
help me out."
A New Touch.
At this point, the stranger drew forth
his wallet and disclosed a fat roll .of
small bills. i
"I've got ttfiy-thrco dollars here."
lie smiled drolly, "but the repair bill is
fifty-eight." Then, with engaging
frankness: "1 am going to ask you if
von can let me have the extra five nil
til tomorrow. I can run right over to
your office front mine in a lew minutes
and hand it back to you."
"That's all right," interrupted our
friend uneasily bat agreeably, taking
a five spot from his much smaller roll
of bills. "Glad to let you have it. I
may need some help myself some
time."
And that was the end of the incident?except
that the cordial stranger
has never been seen since, and inquiry
in the next office building revealed
no information concerning him.
But a few days later, the morning
papers warned their readers about this
particular form of "touch."
It is extraordinary to what lengths
the small fraud artist will go to obtain
a five spot, as the young assistant
of a well-known woman philanthropist
here can tell you. This young
woman was quietly cataloging in her
office, the other day, when a nice-looking
young man. with soft brown eyes
illlU Ill'tlllJ v.uium u <*?%..
ed in immaculate clothes, dashed excitedly
in the door iuid asked to setMrs.
J., the young- woman's employer.
"Where is she?" lie demanded his
face flushed apparently from the exertion
of running. "I must see her at
once. I ran all the way up here from
the hotel down the block, (bine to
lunch? Oh, 1 yav, that's tough. Is
there any -way J c^n reach her immediately?you
see, I'm in a rather
emharrassing predicament."
"I'm afraid I don't know where she
is," said the assistant, 'but she ought
to be hack in about an hour."
"What am I 1o do?" exclaimed the
young man dramatically, "l'erhaps
you can advise me. You see, Pve asked
a girl to lunch, and when we were
* - 1 ? 1 * 1-4..1.1,. I
S?ctlCU ill lilt; lit I ill* uu\>il lmviv mi v?iv
hotel, I suddenly discovered I didn't
have a scrap of money on me. All in
my other clothes, you know." he explained
in evident embarrassment.
"So. knowing1 Mrs. .J. very well. I
thought I could just run up here and
get a loan from her. but 1 suppose it's
no use. I can't leave the young lady
waiting for an hour."
The Bogus Friend.
The you tig assistant was sympathetic.
She thought the young man
looked very boyish and helpless, and
she felt sorry for the damsel, who was
about to lie deprived of her luncheon
with him. So she took the fifteen dollars
he said he heeded from her own
purse and insisted upon his accepting
it. in perfect confidenee that he would
return it as he said lie would, the in-xt
afternoon.
Bui when Mrs. .). returned, the
young assistant was dismayed to learn
that the good lady h:ld never heard of
(iavin Courtney, the name the young
man gave, nor did she know any young
mail who answered his dnseriptioii.
A few Ua\s later, however, when she
described him to the police, they
seemed to be on quite familiar terms
with him.
One of the most expensive cases of
fraud which recently occurred on
. Fifth avenue in itho shopping- district,
was one in which that most sophisticated
of humans, a professional chaufi
l'eur, was hoodwinked.
The man's employer, a very wealthy
woman, had just removed her
twenty thousand dollar sable coat
from storage in a furrier's shop, and
upon returning to the car, left it in his
care while she continued her shopping.
As the chauffeur waited, a
stranger sauntered up and engaged
him in conversation about the town,
the weather and about various makes
of cars. Then he sauntered, on, and
in a few seconds another stranger appeared
on the block staggering in an
almost forgotten manner. The cliauffeul*
found this second man so interesting
that he failed to see the first
stranger circle the car und calmly remove
the sable coat. The first he
knew of the incident was when a
policeman came and informed him
that u bus conductor, from his position
on' top of an avenue bus, had
seen it go.
The Reluctant Slot Machine.
While sleight-of-hand work of this
description is constantly increasing, il
must not he supposed that New York I
has been free of petty fraud until this I
year. As a matter of tact, it has alvays
suffered more than any othc-:
city in the United States from this
evil. In a way, New Yorkers have
\
become accustomed to it, as they have
to other metropolitan inconveniences.
There are the slot n^aciilnes on the
elevated and subway stations, for example.
A slot machine is an innocent
apparatus in itself, and is a great
boom to a gum-chewing public, but
the slot machines of these stations are
graveyards of ruined hopes. They arc
supposed to contain chewing gum. and
occasionally they do, hut, ah, how
. often they don't. Yet never are they
empty of nickels and pennies thrust
in by trustful persons who sigh and
swear and miss their trains in an effort
to get something out.
But perhaps the most suspicious establishments
in New York are the hat
checking parlors, where surprising
frauds of one kind and another are
always coming- to light. Most astonishing
of these was one discovery recently
made when a couple of hat
check boys got into a fight. When the
guests rushed into the check room
and succeeded in separating the irate
principles they found that the cause
of the hostilities was u spool of white
thread.
By degrees, the story came out. It
seems thut when a stingy dancer or
diner refuses to tip for an unnecessary
brushing off, he is permitted to
get just as far as the door. Then a
boy politeiy requests him to stop.

Cotton Thieves In Dillon.?It is evident
that somebody has great faith in
the future of cotton. Since he has ;
been in oflice Sheriff Hetbca has been j
compelled to devote the most of his j
time to running down cotton thieves.
As one Dilbmitc observes, it is cheaper
to steal it under present conditions
than to make it, and that may in a
measure account for the numerous cotton
thefts of the past week.
A. V. Met hen. had three bales stolen
just after Christmas and last, week
three more bales disappeared. The
matter was reported to Sheriff Hethoa
who took up the trail and arrested
I'eto Bethea, Matthew ilinson and
Sue MeKarland, all colored. They are
in the county jail awaiting the l-Vbruary
term of court.
Miss Mary Carmichncl lost four
bales last week, and Bublier Stackhouse,
Harney Stackhouse. Clraily Hlue
and J.eno Hreeden are in the county
jail charged with the crime. The officers
have reason to believe that I'etc
Stackhouse. who is charged kvitri being
directly connected with the stealing
of .Mr. A. V. Hethea's cotton, is
implicated in both thefts.
Stolen cotton has been sold on the
Dillon market lately and recovered

(By Frederick J. Haskin.) _
Washington. D. C.?General farm-,
ing in Alaska has been proven possible,
and about a hundred thousand
square miles of rich agricultural and
grazing land are there to be had for
the taking by settlers who are willing
to bravo a somewhat difficult climate.
One of the scientists connected with
! Lb"' government agricultural experi
merit stations in Alaska is here for a
few days, and that is the word lie
bringG. If you are looking for a
chance to get a farm of your own
without an\ considerable capital,
Alaska offers you that chance,
j ' Nearly everybody nowadays knows
that Alaska is now a snow-covcred,
ice-bound waste all the year round.
Not so many realize the wonderful
possibilities of this far northern territory
in its summer season. This government
scientist brings word that
Alaska could be practically self-supporting
so far as ordinary farm products
go. Right now, the majority
of the standard fruits, vegetables, and
grains are grown there to some extent.
He says that what Alaska needs
is more settlers with the spirit of
pluck and a willingness to work o
develop its farm lands.

r.0,000 inhabitants spread over nearly
GOU.OOO square miles. The population
would bo lost in a corner of New York
City, it is about the number of people
that live in Atlantic City; Topeka,
Kan., or Bethlehem, Pa. Scattered
over this country are about 500
homesteaders working- tracts of ICO or
320 acres, and there remain 100,000
square miles of land, the size of an
average state?which could be used
for pructical farming about half for
farm land, and the other half for
grazing.
The land, then, Is there. And the
government is maintaining five agricultural
experiment stations in Alaska,
where all sorts of experiments are
conducted to help farmers. Farming
in this latitude presents different dif
ficultios lrom lurming in tne states.
Potatoes can be raised in Alaska,-and
cauliflower, beans, strawberries, apples,
lettuce, and auy number of other
familiar foods. But you cannot take
any kind of strawberry plant, for instance.
and expect to get firm swe.et
berries.
The strawberry illustrates very well
what it means: to adapt a product of
a temperate climate-' to conditions in
the far north. The experiment station
at Sitka has made 12,000 tests ^ with
strawberries in order to Qnd varieties
really suited to Alaslta. To make the
experiments the two wild strawberries
native to Alaska were crossed with
different hardy varieties of the cultivated
strawberry. Nine-tenths of the
plants proved too frail for the climate,
or produced soft or insipid fruit.
These were discarded at once. Of
the other tenth all but three or four
in every hundred were also discarded
as not altogether satisfactory, leaving
the best product so far as color, flavor
and size of the berries was concerned.

This is a good example oL' how the
agricultural problems are worked out
for arctic and near-arctic regions.
Long and extensive experiments
have been conducted to find grains
sufficiently hardy and swift in growth
for planting, growing and harvesting
to be crowded into the brief Alaskan
summer. It seems to be impossible
to make grain more hardy by a process
of selection. That is, when the
government agents took a few seeds
from the best grain one year and
planted them the next, and again took
the best of the harvest and planted
that, and so on for several' years, there
was no improvement in the stra/in, as
there would be Ln some vegetables.
The only way to produce grain
hardy enough for the climate %s to
cross the various strong varieties and
I try them out. As m result of experiment
along this line, spring wheat
that runs 22 bushels to the acre, rye
taller than a man and oates have been
produced in Alaska.
The First Flour Mill.
Alaska could be absolutely independent
so far as breadstuffs are concerned,
the government agent tells us.
And Alaska is slowly gaining this independence.
A flour mill?the first in
Alaska?has been established in
Fairbanks, so that it is no longer necessary
to get flour from Seattle and
to pay heavy freight on it.
As for independence along other
lines of foodstuffs, Alaska may attain
that also to a reasonable degree.
Practically every' standard vegetable
can be grownjn the best farming localities
of the country. The majority
of the fruits have been successfully'
produced. Strong breeds of cattle and
cheep are being developed at the experiment
station. At a recent banquet

These are the true signs of progress.
The difficulties of life In the far north
are mainly the climate, and then lack
of transportation and hired labor.
Transportation prospects are improving
now that the railroad from Seward
to Fairbanks is well under way,
with a chance of being completed
next year. Farm help is still scarce
because a large proportion of the 10,000.
men who left (Alaska for war ser
vice have not returned.
Climate Not so :Severe.
Climate 'remains the big iproblem' to, '
be met in life in this - part of .the
world. Wjhat the homesteader can
raise in his garden, how he can market
surplus .products, whether .he lives
in comfm-t or misery depends on his
understanding of the climate and hdw
to adapt himself to it. .Temperature
and humidity are so widely varied
in this territory that it is difficult to
describe the Alaskan weather conditions
as a whole. At Sitka the thermometer
rarely goes to zero, and the
winters are not much colder than
those in Washington, D. C. At Fairbanks,
on the other hand, ,60 degrees
below zero is not unknown. This is
-the sorj. of weather which typifies
Alaska to most people and it is the
fear 1 of encountering months of unbroken
cold that makes, many ,an
otherwise adventurous spirit cling to
the comparative warmth of a semiheated
flat in what is supposed to be
a temperate zone.
Alaskan winters are in general
snowy and cold. In the summer, for
about three months the country warms
up astonishingly, nndl^in .some places ,
the sun gets so hot 'the men knock j
