The motor that took Lind-

Secret complaint char "ug mail
fraud, filed several ays ago
against S. E. J. Cox with U. S.
Commissioner J. W. Flynn, for
mail fraud, came to light Tuesday
when it was learned that dox had
been found and would make bo
some time Tuesday.
He is charged in the complaint
to have "unlawfully devised
schemes and artifices to defraud
diver and sundry persons" in con-
nection with Clay Wilson interests
and Original Development Pool,
by a letter to W. O. Long, Sayre,
Pa.
Others arrested in connection
with the same compnies several
days ago were: Clay Wilson, H.
W. House, R. D. Mooney, and "
E. Aven, who made bond placed
at *3,000 each, before Flynn.
The complaint against Cox was
not made known at the time of
the. other arrests, because of lak
of knowledge of his whereabouts,
it is said.
Cox was tried and convicted
here with Dr. F. A. Cook in con-
nection with the Petroleum Pro-
ducers Assn., and then tried and
convicted on another charge from
Houston, for which he was nent to
|j*venwnrth penitentiary. While
there he served as editor of the
prison paper, being paroled some
time ago.
Efforts probably will be made
by the government now to have
his parole revoked, it was said.

within a day and a half.

Report of the first day's drive
I will be made known at an "early

Call for 25 additional workerc
was issued Tuesday by William
Monnig.Sr., "buck private," com-
mander-in-chlef, of the drive.
Call for the volunteers was issued
in order to fill out teams Where
one of the two men assigned fail-

Those in charge of the drive
were highly pleased that such a
few out of so large a number
working had failed to be ready
this morning. Many teams were
filled thru volunteers who visit-
ed the association’s headquarters
to offer their service*.
The campaign started off with
initial gifts of approximately $35,-

at the dinner Monday night at

things Into our lives.

feeling that somehow the magic
of their personalities- will be
transmitted to us.
