NEW RACKET IS OPERATED BY SWINDLERS WHO POSE AS FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS A new form of swindle, which never fails to work where the victim is unaware of its operation has been uncovered In the east, and warnings are being broadcast In the hope that If the racket reaches the middle west store keepers and others in business will have become posted as to its workings. The game is usually worked by two strangers who drop into a retail place of business, and, displaying credentials and other Identifications of authority state that they are "department of Justice men" who are working on the Lindbergh kidnap- ing case, and have received information that some of the ransom money has been placed in circulation In the territory where the racket is being worked. They then show the merchants a long printed list of serial numbers of several ask permission to the contents of the retailer's cash register, After looking at several bills one exclaims "there you are; that serial number is one of the list." They then proceed to confiscate several bills, In return for which they give the merchant a receipt made out from a book of blank forms which bears official-looking marks and apparently is an authentic federal receipt.

The swindles explain to the merchant that the receipt can be "cashed at the postofflce," where government funds are always "on deposit to meet just such federal emergency." They then vanish, and of course the receipt is found to be worthless. The confidence men who work the game are of good appearance, and their manner of handling the racket is such as to arouse no suspicion in the mind of the merchant who gives up possession of the bills taken by the men. A call to the police station or to any peace officer would result in the arrest of the pair if the intended victims had the presence of mind to take that HARRIS $300,000 DAMAGE SUIT MUST BE TRIED, SAYS APPELLATE COURT Decision of Judge Cavcrly, Who Had Thrown It Out of Court, Reversed Chicago, May $300,000 suit for breach of contract brought by James G. Clark of Mt. Klsco, N.

against Norman W. Harris, Chicago banker, was returned to the circuit court, for trial today by the appellate court. Judge John R. Caverly in the lower court had ruled that the sensational charges were contrary to public policy and should not be aired In his tribunal. The appeals court said he erred, and the case must be heard.

Clark brought his claim against the young Harris Trust and Savings bank officer on the basis of alleged intimacies between Mrs. Clark and Harris at their Madison, home. He asserted that Harris, discovered in the Clark home, had agreed to pay him $500 a month for life and had made a will providing for Mrs. Clark, now divorced, and her children. Judge Caverly gave him a preliminary hearing and then threw the whole matter out of court, calling It "badger game" in which husband and wife were conspiring to bilk Harris.

He found "strong evidence of collusion" between Mr. and Mrs. Clark to "entrap the defendant." Mrs. Clark Is the former Dorothy Funk of Des Moines. FORMER FREEPORTER HEADS BANK GROUP Kenosha, May O.

REPORTS OF BOMB PLOT, BELIEVED RELIABLE, BRING ARMED FORCE SpringTleld, 111., May that members of unemployed group who recently were denied the privilege of holding a meeting here would bomb the historic Sangamon county court house today led to the placing of armed deputies in and around the structure.

Sheriff Allan Cole ordered the deputies to patrol the court house grounds last night following receipt of reports of the bomb plot, which he said came from what he believes is a reliable source. The threat to bomb the court house, Cole said, appears to be.di- rected at him because of his stand in supporting Mrs. Nannie Fain, head of work relief in Capitol township, against opposition to her by unemployed groups of Springfield. Other deputies had broken up an unemployed meeting for which Cole had not given permission on April 13 at the court house. A handbill was circulated by the unemployed group denouncing the sheriff for his support of Mrs.

Fain. A few days ago, Cole said, he received a report that the building would be bombed on or about May 1. Cole announced today that he is prepared to handle any emergency that may arise from May day meetings planned in Springfield today by unemployed groups. Three meetings will mark local observances of May day. Those conducting the meetings have been given permission to advertise them and have promised officials that there will be no violence and that their activities will be confined to the buildings in which the various meetings are held.

Mrs. Agnes Burns Wieck, Belleville, former president of the Progressive Miners of America auxiliary, will be the principal speaker at two of the May day meetings.
