CANCELED STAMPS REUSED Big-Business Done in Stock Transfer Issues, Which Are Bought by Dealers From Brokers' Employes--Old Stamps Placed on Tickets and Good Ones Sold. Lads Pilfer From $500 to $1,800.

or the stamp dealers to remove these and substitute perfectly canceled stamps. After obtaining tickets, the dealer removes the stamps and sorts them, sometimes selling them to employes of the houses from which they came at a profit of from 100 to 200 per oent. The employe purchasing them affixes them to sale memoranda delivered to him by his employer. Unused Stamps Resold. Sperial to The Post New York, Ju'y Comptroller Claik Williams wants a lau by which men who deal In canreled stock transfer stHinps can be sent to jail.

Sleuths employed by the comptroller exposed the mechanism of the fraud by which the State was robbed of upward of a year. The Comptroller knows who the men are that have been swindling the State, but lie said today that lack of legal evidence prevented their being arrested and punished. The evidence against theiji came from brokers' em- ployes with whom the stamp dealers have done business, and such evidence was Incompetent because tbe employes were accomplices. "I deem it proper," said the comptroller today, "to make an authoritative statement of these conditions, and the course pursued by the comptroller in collecting this tax, In the hope of stimulating a helpful public' Interest. The Importance of this to the State will be appreciated when it Is understood that during the year taxes amounting to 35fi.ri4fi.lfi were collected from the sale and transfer of stock.

The department was aware that through improper practic en considerable revenue from this source was being lost to the State, but not until a- thorough Investigation had been made was the ononnitj' of the frauds apparent At the outset It was estimated that the State was losing-at the rate of a year" How Fraud Is Operated. Comptroller Williams selected The unused stamps he gets from his employer takes to the stamp dealer and sells at from 60 to 75 per cent or their face value. Mr. "Williams' Investigators were surprised at the ingenuity displayed In eradicating cancellation marks. But despite the perfection of the scheme.

the investigators discovered thousands of tickets with stamps affixed, ranging In value from $1 to JSO, which clearly Indicated that they had been used twice. Comptroller Williams obtained the signed confessions of several brokers, and messengers. Boys confessed that tlrey had been making fiom $500 to $1,800 a year assisting stamp dealers to work the fraud. Almost Invariably the brokers themseves had no suspicion that a swindle was go- Ing-on in their offices, and in cases it was difficult to convince them oft the fact. Many of these brokers were unwilling to prosecute.

"Bloodfleld," noted in police annals for action, waa the acene of a daring hold-up of a white man by two negroes early yesterday morning. The victim, who refused to surrender his money on demand, received a vicious cut with a razor, and is under hospital treatment. The alleged highwaymen were captured after a chase covering a large part of the southwestern aectlon. during which two policemen 'emptied their revolvers at the fugitives, shooting one three times in his right leg. The wounded prisoner was ti eated at Emergency Hospital, after which he and his companion were locKea up at the Fourth precinct station bouse, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

Andrew Knott, 40 years old, of 483 Maryland avenue, was the victim or the assault and attempted robbery. Richard Jackson and John Gibson are the alleged assailants, Jackson having been "brought down" by his pursuers' bullets. None of the shots took effect on Gibson. The Attempted Robbery. Shortly after 3 o'clock, Knott, who was on his way home, walked through First street southwest.

He saw two negroes at street. "When Knott was in front of 443 First street, Jackson, Knott says, walked from behind a tree and demanded Knott's cash. Knott refused to give up, striking at the negro, but the blow did" not land. Both negroes' went for Knott, who says he was holding his own fegainst them, when one, angered by a blow on the jaw, drew a razor. His companion did likewise, it is said.

Knott attempted to grab a picket off a wooden fence, but stumbled. In short order both negroes were on him, lie says and one, he does not know which, cut him across the shoulder. Knott cried with pain, and Policemen Green and Armstrong heard him and ran to the rescue. The negroes starlet through First street. Knott quickly explained what had happened, and both policemen took up the chase.

Green yelled to the negroes to halt, but they increased their speed. Green and Armstrong were on the fugitives' heels when they turned into belaware avenue. As all hands passed under the railroad bridge, which spans Delaware avenue. Green drew his revolver and again called to the negroes to halt.

The proprietor of owe of tue houses stated that arrangements for their accommodation and guaranteeing tneir bills were made by W. J.

It Is said that some of the applicants at the Northern Central headquarters have'been asked If they have "trad any experience as brakemen or flagmen, and those replying affirmatively have been employed. A controversy among the colored Masons of the District, which had aroused much agitation, has been settled a recent decision of the Cohort of Appeals.

An attempt was made by one element that had'oome Into existence within the last fifteen years -to oust the other ele- Inent, that had been the recognized body of colored Masons in the District since 1825. By the decision of the Supreme Court, affirmed by the Court of Appeals, the older body came out of the legal struggle victorious In all of Its essential contentions. In all of their long history the colored Masons here had never before been in a contest of any nature before the courts. Freemasonry among colored men in the District had its origin in the constitution of Social Lodge in 1825. Social Lodge is a direct descendant of the grand lodge of England, through the Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts, thence through the grand lodge of Pennsylvania, from which it received the charter constituting it a just and legal lodge.

In September, 1908, the colored Masons of the country united with the- Prince Hall grand lodge in celebrating in Boston its one hundredth anniversary. This grand body takes its name from Princo Hall, the first colored man raised to the degree of a master Mason in this country. He was entered, passed, and raised in a "traveling lodge," attached to one of the British regiments Gen. Gage at Boston in the early part of 1775. With fourteen other colored men, who had been Initiated about the same time, Prince Hall united in organizing a lodge with the sanction of the authorities under whom they were made.

Applied for Warrant. After the revolutionary war, in which Prince Hall served as a soldier on the ide of the colonies, application made by him to the grand lodcre of England for a warrant to establish a regular lodge. In September, 1784, his petition was granted, and a warrant was issued for the orginization of African New Made to order in latest style. I New grays, new blues; $15, $18, I $20 values.

With drawn revolvers and followed by a- crowd, they kept up a fusillade of bullets, two' more of which took effect In Jackson's leg. Jackson was driving.

Fagln increased the speed or his horse and caught up with the negroes as they were about to enter the Capitol grounds at Delaware avenue and street. Fagin Jumped from his cab and grabbed the head of the "borrowed" horse, and the policemen made prisoners of Jackson and Gibson.

459, in Boston, and formed African grand lodge, which subsequently became the Prince Hall grand Jodge, which is regarded by colored men as the only source of legitimate free and accepted Masonry among them. Soon after this Pennsylvania had he separate grand Jodge, and, as has been said, Social Lodge, of the- District oi Columbia, was called Into existPrteo by a charter from this body. In 1845 and 1S4 the Pennsylvania grand lodge chartered Universal Lodge of Alexandria, D. and Felix Lodge, of this city. In 1848 these three colored lodges met in Washington and organized what was then called the Most Worshipful Union grand lodge of the District of Columbia, with Charles Datcher as grand master.

It is now known as the Most Worshipful' grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. It has existed for 62 years, and during that time has had 33 grand masters. There are fourteen lodges under its jurisdiction and about 1,100 Master Masons.

Memphis, July every town and village and county in Tennessee the State political situation lias aroused intense feeling, and party leaders are lining up their forces for the struggle which comes in August when the Slate Judiciary and county elections are held. Up to the present no candidate to oppose Gov. R. Patterson has been announced either by the insurgent Democrats or the Republican forces, nor is there any likely to be named by the latter party until after the August election. Gov.

Patterson is now making his campaign speeches in support of the judicjat-'y candidates nominated at the regular Democratic primary held In July. It Is this contest which is now attracting wide attention. Three of the supreme court judges declined to enter into'the Democratic primary, alleging that Gov. Patterson and his administration had attempted to coerce the judiciary. Their partisans called a convention, and these three were renomiijated, along with two others.

The tvro other justices entered Into the primary and lined up with the administration party, thus obtaining renomlna- tion. opposition candidates were named to run against the three so-called bolting justices. The same state of affairs exists in the contest for the Judgeships of the court of civil appeals. The pardoning Duncan Cooper, -who was convicted of killing Senator E. W.

Carmack, has been made an issue in the campaign. The prohibition question has apparently been lost sight of. INDEPENDENTS ISSUE CALL. Both the Old Parties in Pennsylvania Are Arraigned. Philadelphia.

Ju'y 17 --The com-4 mittee of independents organized to ar- range a State convention for the nomi- i nation of candidates in opposition to the Republican and Democratic Stata tickets today made public a formal call for a. convention to be held in this city on July 28 The call is made in strong language, it declaring that "representative free government has been overthrown in Pennsylvania." That with unimportant exceptions "all governmental functions are performed by the creatures of a po- litical machine," and that the "ma- i mpulators of this machine have. In a peculiarly shameless manner, dictated the actions of both the Republican and Democratic entions." All patriotic citizens of every section rection for many miles, and possibly to the nostrils of some hungry bear that (oilow Its trail to the very door of soinaj hungry explorer's camp. Sacrifice to Hunters. The odor of burnt flesh will travel further and is more pungent and appetizing than any other known food odor, especially in arctic regions, and as the polar bear is constantly sniffing tbe air for the faintest scent of food, he will quickly take up its trail and soon offer himself as a sacrifice to scientific hunting.

This same plan can be successfully emplojed In killing the arctic wolf, and that in, large numbers. One of man's chief difficulties In search for animal food Is that he does not give the wild beasts and birds credit for the amount of intelligence they possess or the reasoning or judgment thpy make use of in their daily effort at supplying themselves with food. Take, as an example, the fact that while possess neither barn nor storehouse, yet they continue to Inhabit the earth in vast numbers. Mnnv of them live beyond pale of mankind, and at the same aie as fat and sleek as a pet dog or driv-, inp horse I believe It possible to lead bears flocks of food birds into the polar region If the traveler will use due Intelligence In tolling them in the matter of their choice of this or that food. It makes me shudder mhen I think of.

the Joss the world has sustained In the death by cold and hunger of so many good men, whose lives might have been spared If only a little common sense an-J 1 judgment had been used In procuring theirt food, and that In a manner most attractive to the polar bear.

-The returns were sent all oviar England by carrier pigeons. The flght lasted about eighteen- rounds, and Neate was the winner. Hatslltt. wrote his "story" fdr a -publication called Uterary Remains. In order to see the flght he had to ride on a- mail coach and sit up all night at an overcrowded public house.

His story follows; Neftte entered the arena between his second and bottle, holder. He looked around and began quietly; when from the other side there was a buzz, and the Gasman came forward with a conscious air oft anticipated triumph. He strutted about more than become a hero, sucked oranges with a supercilious air, and threw away the skin with a toss of his head and looked at Neate. By thle time tfosy had stripped, and a strong 'contrast in appearance. If Neate wag like AJax, with shoulders.

They were led to the scratch, shook hands, and went at It. Ins the flrst round every one thought it was over. The Gasman flew at his' adversary like tiger, struck five blows In as 'many seconds, and then toHowed Mm, strjklng two jnore ag he staggered back, and down he fell, a mighty rutn.

Neate seemed like a lifeless lump of flesh and bone, round which the Gasman's blows playei with the rapidity of lightning: They met again, and Neate seemed particularly c'autlous. I saw h)s teeth clenched and Ms- brows knit close against, the sun. The Gasman -could -no't -get 'over his ft was the same the next, but the balance of was "thus restored. No one could tell how it would end. In the the Gasman, aiming a mortal, blow at Ills adversary with his right hand, and failing from the length he had to reach, the other returned it with a full left swing, and planted tremendous blow in his cheekbone and eyebrow, and made a ruin of that side of his face.

The Gasman went down, and there was another roar. Hickman got up and "grinned r-or- ribie, a ghastly smile," yet he was evidently "dashed in bis opinion of himself. His right eye was closed as he advanced to the fight less confident, but still determined. After one- or two rounds he rallied, but --s strength had been weakened--his blows could not tell at such a distance; he was obliged to fling himself at his adversary, and could not strike from his feet; and almost as regularly as he flew at him with his right hand, Neate warded the blow or drew back out of reach and felled him with a return of his left. There was little cautious sparring--no half-hits--they were almost all knock-down blows; the flght was a good stand-up flght.

The wonder was the half minute time. If a minute or more had been allowed between each round It would have been intelligible how they should by degrees recover strength and resolution, but to see two men smashed to the ground, stunned, senseless, the breath beaten out of their bodies and then before you recover from the shock to see them rise up and rush upon each other. From this -time forward the event became more certain -every round, and about the twelfth seemed if it must have been over. Neate made lunge at him and hit him full in the face. It was doubtful whether he would fall backward or forward; he hung suspended for a second er two, and then fell back, throwing: his- hande In the air, and with 'his face lifted up to the sky.

All traces of life and natural expression were gone from him. His face was like a death's head, spouting blood. Vet he fought on after this for several rounds, still striking the first desperate blow and Neate standing on the defensis-e and using the same cautious blow to the last. It was not until the Gasman was so stunned in the seventeenth or eighteenth round that his senses forsook him, and he could not come to time, that the battle was declared over. When the Gasman came to himself his first words were, "Where am What is the matter?" "Nothing is the matter, Tom--you have lost the battle, but vou are the bras-est man alive." And Jackson said to him: "I am collecting a purse for you, Tom Neate instantly werrtr up and shook him cordially by the hand, without any appearance of arrogance; only It was esi- dent that Bill Neate was pleased i.iat he had won the fight.

The carrier pigeons now mounted into the air and one of them flew with the news of her husband's victory to the bosom of Mis. Neate. Alas for Mrs. Hickman'. NEW WAY TO STOP FIGHTS.
