WARNING IS GIVEN AGAINST PEDDLERS Housewives Are Cautioned Against House-to-House Salesman. Warning to the public to beware of house-to-house peddlers and operators of Gublous merchandising schemes, re- | portea to be taking full advantage of the holiday shopping season, now in full swing was issued yesterday by the Mer- chants and Manufacturers' Association. Declaring that the Christmas shop- ping system appears to be regarded as | a “harvest time” for this type, the as- sociation warned housewives to_exert img tc unidentified s artists “Trick” | operators were reported to be appearing here at a remarkably rapid rate. | 5. “Hundreds of house-to-house ‘can- | | vassers use the Christmas season as an | | excuse to solicit homes for the sale of | all manner of commodnms " the asso- | ciation states. “Some of the merchan- jdise will turn out as represented, but | | too many cases the schemes are fraudu- |lent and the housewife will lose what- ever investment she has made. “Representatives of legitimate mer- chandise companies are deeply concern- ed. Their business is being affected by these unscrupulous fly-by-night’ solic tors who enter the field during the hol days merely to unload inferior mercha dise while the Christmas demand is great. Last year at this season they swindled so many housewives that rep- resentatives of honest companies are finding it difficult to secure the neces- sary audiences in response to doorbell ringing by their representatives. “Because the people of Washington have this year developed the habit of buying early for Christmas require- ments, unprincipled operators of vari- ous selling schemes likewise got on the job early. The country is reported to be literally infested with illegal mer- chandising plans. The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association urges a careful inspection of all merchandise not offered through regular channels of dis- tribution, because in many instances it fails to measure up to the standard expected by the purchase: JERSEY RAILROAD ASKS $198,096.50 FROM U. S. Sum Alleged to Be Due for Trans- portation of Sup- plies. A writ of mandamus directing Con- troller General McCarl to pay $198,- 096.59, alleged to be due on transporta- tion of supplies between Government arsenals along its right of way was asked in District Supreme Court yester- day by the Wharton ‘& Northern Rail- road Co., operator of a short line in New Jersey. | more than ordinary vigilance in listen-| . The petition contends the vouchers for the money claimed have been passed by the proper authorities, but that the controller general claims a set-off. Ap- proximately $157,512.25, it is said by the railroad, is the property of trunk lines feeding the short line, and these cred- itors have been making pressing de- mands for payment. e S CONFIRMATION SEEN. Given's Nomination as Judge Is Sent to Senate. ‘The nomination of Ralph Given to be judge of the Police Court of the District of Columbia was sent to the Senate yesterday by President Coolidge. The White House has reason to feel that his appointment will be confirmed. Mr. Given was given a recess ap- pointment to fill the vacancy on the Police Court bench caused by the death of Judge George McDonald, and hes been serving in that capacity during the last few weeks. e Ordered to West Point. Maj. Alexander G. Gillespie, Ord- nance Department, now attached to the Army War College, Washington Barracks, has been ordered to West Point, N. Y., for duty at the Military Academy.
