BUFFALO, N. Y., June 12.—Methods of preventing and apprehending com- mercial crime were studied by dele- gates to the annual convention of the National Association of Credit Men today. Joab A. Banton, district attor- ney of New York County, declared in an address that the nation is being defrauded of $1,750,000,000 annually by persons who obtain property or money by false financial statements, 23 false proofs of loss to insurance companies and false statements in connection with saies of spurious securities. He said the percentage of convie- tions in prosecution for commeraial crime had been low because the aver- age jury becomes confused by a mass of figures. He described a special court, created by agreement with & committee of the credit men, for prosecution of such cases under the misdemeanor clause of the penal code before three justices understanding the issues in question. Since September 8, 1922, eighty-one persons who defrauded bankers and merchants in New York County have been convicted. This total, he de- clared, probably is greater than the aggregate number of all those con- vioted for similar offenses in the his- tory of the criminal courts of New York County AR AR AR AR R AR AR PR AR AR R AR AR LANSBURGH & BRO. 418-430 7th St. N.-W.—Thru to 8th FAMOUS FOR QUALITY SINCE 1860 Phone Franklin 7400 and some novelties. ment notes. in tomorrow. trimmed styles or on straightlines. ished with val laces, Irish crochet, rib- bons, embroidery and numerous adorn- At $975.
